Description

Light guide plate
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a light guide plate, and more particularly, to a light guide plate for a side-light type backlight module.
Background
The lcd generally requires a backlight module to display the lcd panel, and the backlight module generally includes a light source and a light guide plate to guide the light scattering direction through the light guide plate to improve the brightness of the lcd panel and ensure the uniformity of the panel brightness.
Referring to fig. 1, a conventional edge-lit backlight module includes a light guide plate 91, a light source 92, and a reflector 93. The light guide plate 91 has a light exit surface 911, a reflective surface 912 opposite to the light exit surface 911, and a light entrance end surface 913 connecting the light exit surface 911 and one side of the reflective surface 912. The light source 92 is disposed opposite to the light-incident end face 913 such that light enters the light guide plate 91 through the light-incident end face 913 and is reflected by the reflecting surface 912, such that most of the light incident on the light guide plate 91 can be emitted from the light-emitting surface 911. The reflection surface 912 and the light incident surface 913 have microstructures (not shown) for diffusing light, so that the light emitted from the light emitting surface 911 is distributed more uniformly. The reflective sheet 93 is disposed opposite to the reflective surface 912 for reflecting the light passing through the reflective surface 912 back into the light guide plate 91, so as to increase the utilization rate of the light. The light source 92 is disposed parallel to the light incident surface 913 to reduce light leakage when light enters the light incident surface 913, and in order to prevent loss of light energy, the thickness t1 of the light incident surface 913 is generally almost equal to the thickness t2 of the light emitting surface of the light source 92. That is, the entire surface of the light incident surface 913 is substantially aligned with the light emitting surface of the light source 92 and is spaced apart from and parallel to each other.
Referring to fig. 2, the light guide plate 91 generally has a visible area 911a corresponding to a screen (not shown) of a display, and due to the requirement of a narrow frame of the display on the full screen, a distance d between the light incident end surface 913 and the visible area 911a is narrower, and microstructures on the light incident end surface 913 for processing light diffusion are shallower and denser in arrangement density, and the diffusion microstructure design on the reflection surface 912 is prone to have a highly directional microstructure design due to the requirement of luminance, so that the requirement of light uniformity required by an area adjacent to the light incident end surface 913 is higher. However, the conventional light guide plate 91 is easy to generate the gradual flare phenomenon near the light incident end surface 913, and when the light emitting surface 911 of the light guide plate 91 is provided with micro-grooves (V-CUT, R-CUT), the oblique light beams are easy to form, which is not in accordance with the usage requirement.

The thickness of the plate body in the thickness direction perpendicular to the light emergent surface is T1, the thickness of the perpendicular surface portion in the thickness direction is T2, and T2 is less than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to T1.
In some embodiments, the inclined surface has an inclination angle a degrees with respect to the light exit surface, where 3 ≦ a ≦ 85.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating a configuration relationship between a light guide plate and a light source according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the light guide plate 1 of the present invention includes a plate body 11, where the plate body 11 has an exit surface 111 and a reflection surface 112 located at two opposite sides, and an entrance end surface 113. The light incident end surface 113 is connected to one side of the light emitting surface 111 and the reflecting surface 112 and is used for allowing light of a light source 2 to enter the board 11 and then to be emitted from the light emitting surface 111, so as to be used as a backlight source of a display (not shown). The light incident end surface 113 has a vertical surface portion 113a vertically connected to the light exiting surface 111 and an inclined surface portion 113b connecting the vertical surface portion 113a and the reflecting surface 112, and the inclined surface portion 113b is inclined inward from the vertical surface portion 113a toward the reflecting surface 112 toward the plate 11. The thickness of the plate 11 in a thickness direction D perpendicular to the light emitting surface 111 is T1, the thickness of the vertical surface portion 113a in the thickness direction D is T2 and T2 is smaller than T1 and may be 0, that is, 0 ≦ T2< T1, when T2 is 0, the vertical surface portion 113a does not exist and the inclined surface portion 113b is directly connected to the light emitting surface 111, and a preferred range of T2 is 1/3T1 to 2/3T1, that is, 1/3T1 ≦ T2 ≦ 2/3T 1. The inclined angle of the inclined surface 113b relative to the light emitting surface 111 is a degree, and the inclined angle may be between 3 and 85 degrees, i.e. 3 ≦ a ≦ 85, preferably between 5 and 50 degrees, i.e. 5 ≦ a ≦ 50. The thickness of the vertical surface portion 113a and the inclined angle of the inclined surface portion 113b can be adjusted according to the thickness of the plate body 11, and the distance between the connection portion of the inclined surface portion 113b and the reflection surface 112 is preferably not less than 0.03mm compared with the inward shrinkage distance of the vertical surface portion 113 a. The light incident end surface 113 having the inclined surface portion 113b can prevent the visible area of the light emitting surface 111 from generating a gradual layer flare near the light incident end surface 113.
In the present embodiment, the surface of the light-incident end surface 113 is a smooth surface, but in a modified embodiment, the light-incident end surface 113 may also be a rough surface, or the light-incident end surface 113 may be provided with a light-splitting (diffusing) microstructure, which may be determined according to the usage requirement, and is not limited to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the reflective surface 112 is provided with a dot 112a and is a directional reflective structure, and the structure of the dot 112a can be manufactured by using the prior art and can be designed according to the use requirement. In addition, in the present embodiment, the light-emitting surface 111 is a flat surface, but in a modified embodiment, the light-emitting surface 111 may have a micro-groove structure (V-CUT, R-CUT), and if the light-emitting surface 111 has the micro-groove structure, the oblique light beam phenomenon caused by the micro-groove structure can be improved by the inclined surface portion 113b of the light-incident end surface 113.
In summary, the light incident surface 113 having the inclined surface portion 113b can prevent the visible area of the light emitting surface 111 from generating a gradual flare near the light incident surface 113, and can improve the oblique beam phenomenon.
The above description is only an example of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should not be limited thereby, and the invention is still within the scope of the present invention by simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the contents of the specification.
