Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned features and effects of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, fig. 1 is a front view of a first embodiment of a light bar structure of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating a usage status of a backlight module according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic view of another use state of the backlight module according to an embodiment of the invention. The light bar structure 1 includes a flexible substrate 11, at least one light emitting element 12, and a back adhesive 13. The flexible substrate 11, such as a flexible circuit board, is used for the light emitting device 12 to be mounted thereon and providing the necessary printed circuit to provide power to the light emitting device 12. The Light emitting element 12 may be, but not limited to, a Light-emitting diode (LED) for projecting Light. The back adhesive 13 may be a double-sided adhesive, one side of which is adhered to the flexible substrate 11, and the other side of which is adhered to the fixing structure (e.g. the back cover 4 in fig. 2 and 3) to fix the flexible substrate 11 to the fixing structure.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the flexible substrate 11 includes two pairs of cut lines 111, and the cut lines 111 penetrate through the front surface 11a and the back surface 11b of the flexible substrate 11. The light emitting element 12 is disposed on the front surface 11a of the flexible substrate 11 between the two cut lines 111. As shown in fig. 1, an area a1 formed by projecting both ends of each dividing line 111 onto each other is larger than an area of the light-emitting element 12 projected onto the flexible substrate 11.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the back adhesive 13 is disposed on the back surface 11b of the flexible substrate 11 in an adhesive manner. The back adhesive 13 has a hollowed-out area a2, i.e., a hollowed-out area, the area of the hollowed-out area a2 is larger than the area a1 formed by the mutual projection of the two ends of the two secants 111, and the two secants 111 are located in the hollowed-out area a 2. With this structure, when the flexible substrate 11 is adhered to the fixed structure (e.g. the back cover 4 in fig. 2 and 3) by the back adhesive 13, a part of the flexible substrate 11 between the two secants 111 is in a floating state and keeps a gap with the fixed structure; the gap corresponds to the thickness T of the backing adhesive 13. Therefore, the movement of the light emitting element 12 has a buffer property and can be displaced toward the fixed structure, and when the light guide plate 2 may be pressed toward the light emitting element 12 due to thermal expansion, the light emitting element 12 can be moved toward the fixed structure (e.g., the back cover 4 in fig. 2 and 3) due to compression, so as to reduce and buffer the forward pressure, thereby preventing the light emitting element 12 from being damaged due to compression and affecting the optical quality of the light bar structure 1.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, based on the light bar structure 1, the present invention further provides a backlight module 100. The backlight module 100 includes a light bar structure 1, a light guide plate 2, a reflective plate 3 and a back cover 4. The light bar structure 1 may be the light bar structure 1 according to any embodiment of the present disclosure. The light bar structure 1, the light guide plate 2 and the reflection plate 3 are disposed in the back cover 4, the back cover 4 includes an inner wall surface 41, and the back adhesive 13 is attached to the inner wall surface 41. The light guide plate 2 is located on one side of the light bar structure 1, and the light guide plate 2 includes a light incident surface facing the light emitting element 12. The reflective plate 3 is located on the bottom surface of the light guide plate 2.
Fig. 2 shows the backlight module 100 in an unused state, in which a certain gap is left between the light emitting element 12 and the light guide plate 2, and a gap (approximately the thickness T of the back adhesive 13) is also left between the light emitting element 12 and the inner wall surface 41.
As shown in fig. 3, when the backlight module 100 is used for a period of time, the light guide plate 2 expands when exposed to a thermal environment or expands due to moisture absorption, and the lateral expansion is developed to impact and press the light emitting elements 12. Because of the gap, the light emitting element 12 moves toward the hollowed-out area a2 after being pressed by the light guide plate 2, and is not directly clamped and pressed between the light guide plate 2 and the inner wall surface 41, so that the pressed force is effectively reduced and buffered, the damage is avoided, and the light emitting element 12 can still exert optical performance with a certain efficiency.
Fig. 4 is a front view of a light bar structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment shown in fig. 1 is the shape of the hollowed-out area a 2. The hollowed-out area a2 of the first embodiment shown in fig. 1 is a block-shaped, e.g., rectangular, and is only partially hollowed out of the back adhesive 13 and may include the cut line 111. The hollowed-out area a2 shown in fig. 2 is a strip-shaped hollow, and the middle section of the back adhesive 13 is entirely removed, so that the purpose of protecting the light-emitting element 12 can be achieved by this structural design.
Fig. 5 is a front view of a third embodiment of the light bar structure of the present invention. The difference between the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and fig. 4 is that the back adhesive 13 has a plurality of hollow areas a2, and adjacent hollow areas a2 are disposed at intervals. The two pairs of the secant lines 111 are a secant line group, each secant line group is respectively located in each hollowed-out area a2, and each light emitting element 12 is located between each pair of the secant lines 111. The hollow areas a2 and the light emitting elements 12 are disposed at intervals along a transverse direction D, and the paired secants 111 are disposed at intervals along the transverse direction D. With this structure, the above-mentioned purpose of avoiding the light guide plate 2 from damaging the light emitting device 12 due to the impact can be achieved.
Due to the flat cable design of the display device or the light emitting device to which the light bar structure 1 is applied, a worker may cut the cut line 111 in the transverse direction D, and the cut line 111 extends in the transverse direction D in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 3. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in some embodiments, the cutting line 111 may be cut in a direction different from the transverse direction D, for example, in a longitudinal direction (not shown), depending on the arrangement of the flat cable.
In addition, as shown in fig. 5, in order to protect the light emitting device 12, the light guide plate 2 is prevented from being damaged by thermal expansion or other factors that may impact the light emitting device 12. In these embodiments, the extension length of the scribe line 111, the thickness of the back adhesive 13, and the extension length of the light emitting device 12 satisfy the following equation: x is greater than or equal to 2T + L, wherein X is the extending length of the cut line 111, T is the thickness of the back adhesive 13 (see FIG. 7 or FIG. 8), L is the extending length of each light emitting element 12, and the extending direction of the cut line 111 and the extending direction of the light emitting elements 12 are the same direction.
In addition, regarding the type of the cut line 111, the present invention is not limited to the line , please refer to fig. 6 to 8, which are schematic views of an embodiment of the cut line 111 of the light bar structure 1 according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 6, the secant 111 is an opposing arc; as shown in fig. 7, the cut line 111 may be a wavy line; as shown in fig. 8, the two ends of the cut line 111 have a bent portion, in the embodiment shown in fig. 8, the bent portion extends towards the outside, and in some embodiments, the bent portion extends towards the inside. That is, the present invention is not limited to the type of the cut line 111 shown in the above-mentioned figures, and different types of the cut lines 111 can be adopted according to the needs and designs of the end-user.
Through the light bar structure provided by one or more embodiments of the invention, the applied display device is not damaged by the light guide plate or other optical films expanding and impacting the light-emitting element under long-term use, and the optical performance is not damaged. In other words, in one or more embodiments, the light bar structure can effectively reduce the risk that the light emitting elements are damaged due to the impact of the light guide plate. In addition, the backlight module of an embodiment of the invention has the light bar structure and also has the advantages.
Although the present invention has been described in terms of the above embodiments, the embodiments are merely illustrative, and not restrictive, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
