Continue referring to Fig. 2 B, specifically, in the present embodiment, the light beam 60 that light-emitting component 120 sends from exiting surface 121 can enter light guide plate 110 by incidence surface 112, and advances with total reflection behavior in light guide plate 110 inside and conduct.And the second surface 113 of light guide plate 110 can have multiple scattering micro-structural 115, to destroy total reflection phenomenon.So, light beam 60 never can be left light guide plate 110 by the part first surface 111 that lampshade 130 covers, and provides external light source.But in other embodiments, scattering micro-structural 115 also can be positioned at the first surface 111 of light guide plate 110, or be positioned at first surface 111 and second surface 113 simultaneously.
On the other hand, light source module 100 also can comprise one and is positioned at reflector element 150 below light guide plate 110.The light beam 70 scattering to reflector element 150 can be reflected back light guide plate 110 by reflector element 150 again, and makes light beam 70 sequentially penetrate second surface 113 and first surface 111, and leaves light guide plate 110, increases light utilization ratio.In addition, because the lampshade 130 of the present embodiment has good light reflectivity, therefore when light beam 70 the part first surface 111 that covers by lampshade 130 be scattered out time, then can be reflected by lampshade 130 and again enter in light guide plate 110 and transmit.And when light beam 70 be scatter at the part first surface 111 do not covered by lampshade 130 time, then can leave light guide plate 110 and external light source is provided.
In addition, please refer to Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C, in the present embodiment, after light beam 80,90 self-emission device 120 sends, can reflect via the zones of different of lampshade 130, and reflex in light guide plate 110 with different angles, contribute to the situation of the Light distribation inequality improved between light-emitting component 120, and promote the Energy distribution uniformity that light beam coupling that light-emitting component 120 sends enters light guide plate.Below will arrange in pairs or groups Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 B, be further detailed.
Below will arrange in pairs or groups Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 B again, and the mechanism how eliminating dark space and hot spot phenomenon for crowning PS structural design of the present invention is described in detail.
Fig. 3 A is the light path schematic diagram of the light beam of the light source module of Fig. 2 A embodiment.Please refer to Figure 1B, Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B and Fig. 3 A, in the present embodiment, after light beam 80 self-emission device 120 sends, can be reflected by the crowning PS of lampshade 130.Specifically, as shown in Figure 3A, after light beam 80 reflects via the crowning PS of lampshade 130, by toward the diagonally forward transmission of light-emitting component 120, and do not transmit on the A-A ' section of Fig. 2 A, and the dotted line shown in Fig. 2 B represents the projection components of light beam 80 on A-A ' section.Therefore, in light guide plate 110 region between the optical axis O that light beam 80 can be incident to adjacent two light-emitting components 120, and light guide plate 110 is scattered out in the part (being such as the dark space DA shown in Figure 1B) near incidence surface 112.So, the light beam 80 that reflects by zones of different on crowning PS of light source module 100 is to eliminate dark space DA and hot spot phenomenon.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the bending surface that crowning PS can be multiple plane P Sa, PSb, PSc are formed.In other words, Fig. 3 A illustrates three plane P Sa, PSb, PSc, the cross section of crowning PS in xz plane is such as inverted trapezoidal, but in other unshowned embodiment, crowning PS can be the bending surface that two planes are formed, and the cross section in xz plane is such as triangle, but the present invention is not limited thereto.Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2 A, the width of crowning PS on the direction D1 being parallel to incidence surface 112 successively decreases near the side of first end TE1 toward the side near the second end TE2.More specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2 B and Fig. 3 A, the Breadth Maximum C of crowning PS on the direction D1 being parallel to incidence surface 112 and first surface 111 is greater than zero and is less than or equal to 1.75 times of the width L of exiting surface 121 on the direction D1 being parallel to incidence surface 112 and first surface 111, but the present invention is not limited thereto.In addition, it should be noted, above-mentioned number range only illustratively illustrates, it is also not used to limit the present invention.
