Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a 'fourth optical module' that is turned over to a illuminable product. [Prior Art] The application of the blame module is very common. The electronic devices that do not emit light, such as notebook computers, monitors, mobile phones, LCD TVs, etc., require a backlight module to provide a light source. Ο The general backlight module includes a light guide plate and a system. For an electronic product with a thin body thickness, 'the LED is usually used as a light source, and the light source is disposed on the light incident side of the side of the light plate. The first side of the light plate is provided with a reflection sheet, and the opposite second side is used as a light-emitting surface and a plurality of optical films composed of a diffusion sheet and a brightness enhancement sheet are disposed. The light emitted by the light source is projected into the light guide plate by the light incident surface, and part of the light is reflected by the reflection sheet, and then sequentially emitted from the light exit surface through the diffusion sheet and the brightness enhancement sheet. A light guide plate having a small area usually has a light incident surface formed on one side thereof and a light source is installed, and based on the light directing property of the light emitted by the LED, a plurality of light sources are generally disposed on the light incident surface of the light guide plate. So that the light sources will illuminate the light guide plate to make the light-emitting surface of the light guide plate exhibit a relatively uniform brightness. However, the more light sources, the higher the cost of materials, and the more manpower and man-hours spent on repairs and replacements. In addition, for a slightly larger area of the light guide plate, if the light source is only installed at one end of the light guide plate, the light that is projected into the light guide plate will gradually decrease when it is transmitted to the other end, and the entire scale of the squash light plate will be reduced. Uneven condition • Ugly, for a backlight module in which a light source is provided only on one side of a rectangular light guide plate, the conventional scheme is to form a slope on the other side of the light guide plate with respect to the light-emitting surface, and even if the guide is formed as a In the shape, the change in thickness is gradually reduced from the end of the human face to the other end, in an attempt to maintain the brightness of the illuminating surface uniform. The Taiwan Patent No. 63_ Patent Case discloses that a single-point light source using high illumination, south performance and high luminance is combined with a light guide plate to reduce the number of light sources and to reduce the cost, but the disadvantage is that No matter from which angle the light is entered, it will be difficult to control because of the high efficiency of the light source. (IV) The light-emitting surface of the light module is the same. The main feature of the light guide plate using the single-point light source disclosed in the Taiwan Patent No. M321113 patent case is that the main feature is The light board is provided with a plurality of dot structures, and a single light source is directed from the side of the light guide plate to the light guide plate, and the effect thereof is substantially different from the conventional technology. — © Public Bay Bulletin No. 1264596, which adds a lens to the front of a direct-lit single light source, and turns the direct-single-light source conversion handle (4) to the back of the light, but the space used is still too large. Taiwan Patent Publication No. 316410, Μ29872 530596, etc., all provide a design in which a light source is disposed at a corner of a rectangular light guide plate; however, the light guide plates used therein are all the conventional uniform-thickness light guide plates or wedge guides. The light board, therefore, must be supplemented with several light sources to ensure the uniformity of the light surface. In addition, the requirements for single-point light source backlight modules include the following reasons: 200949371 Ming: m ‘light, 5 performance lighting _ continued to be illuminated. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The light source is a single-light source with the same or different properties of the single-light source backlight 1 and . After the light is applied to the light guide plate, the light guide plate is arranged to be 5·iSiSf '' can be provided in the above-mentioned principle. The object of the present invention is to solve the problem of the conventional backlight module. When the light panel is provided with a single light source, or when the plurality of light guides are guided from the light guide plate, the light guide surface can not effectively obtain the problem of sufficient uniformity and brightness. The invention provides a material-light_# optical module, which mainly relies on setting a single light source at a position on the side of the light guide plate, and the thickness of each position of the light guide plate is increased according to the distance between the light-sending surface and the sense position. * Decreased proportionally. The technical means of the present invention provides a light guide plate and a light source, and a strip formed on the side of the light guide plate forms a human light surface, and the thickness of the light surface of the person is the largest, and the light entrance surface is guided by the light entrance surface. The smaller the degree of disproportionation of the wire-position ship extension, the more light and brightness can be exhibited on the light-emitting surface of the light guide plate by using only the single-wire to project light from the human light surface into the human light guide plate (10). As a matter of choice, the light guide plate of the present invention may be a polygon such as a square, a rectangle, an angle, a diamond, or the like, or may be a circle. 5 200949371 Alternatively, in the present invention, one corner end or one side of the polygonal light guide plate may be formed into the light incident surface, and the light source may be disposed on the light incident surface. Alternatively, in the present invention, the light incident surface may be formed at a position of the edge of the circular light guide plate, and the light source may be disposed on the light incident surface. The present invention is provided on the light incident surface of the polygonal or circular light guide plate, and may be a straight plane or a notched concave surface. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings, so that anyone skilled in the art can implement the present specification after studying the patent specification. The first and second figures show an embodiment in which the rectangular light guide plate 1 is combined with the light source 2 to form a backlight module, wherein a side surface of the light guide plate 1 is formed as a light exit surface 12 by a range of its peripheral contour, and A light incident surface 11 is formed at one corner end of the rectangular light guide plate 1. The light incident surface 11 may be a straight plane formed by chamfering the corner end of the light guide plate (as shown in the first figure). A concave surface in a notch form may be formed from the corner end (as shown in the second figure); the light source 2 is mounted on the light incident surface 11 to allow the light generated by the light source to be projected from the light incident surface 11 into the light guide plate. . The light-emitting surface 12 may be provided with an optical film 3 such as a light-increasing sheet, a diffusion sheet, or the like according to actual needs; and the reflection sheet 4 for reflecting light may be disposed on the other surface of the light-emitting surface. The present invention is characterized in that the thickness τ of each position of the light guide plate i decreases in proportion to the distance between the light incident surface 11 and the point position; in other words, the thickness of the light incident surface 11 For the largest, from the light entrance surface 丨1 to the light guide plate, its thickness is smaller as the distance extending from the position of the light guide plate is greater. This change in thickness is formed by the light guide plate on which the reflection sheet 4 is formed! The "side" makes the face a "face" with multiple faces (see Fig. A to Fig. E), while the light (4) is basically flat. With this structure, when the light source 2 projects light into the light guide plate 1 from the light incident surface u, the light is reflected by the reflection sheet 4 toward the light exit surface 12, and the brightness of the light guide plate farther away from the light source can be attenuated. The amount of light that is increased by the reduction in thickness is reduced, because the brightness of the whole filament 12 is more uniform. The wire of the present invention can be disposed on the corner end of the polygonal light guide plate as shown in the third embodiment, and the human light surface u can be disposed on the side of the polygonal light guide plate. ^ 光线 A single source of light can diffusely project into the light guide plate. The human light surface U is preferably _ notched - concave. The light guide plate of the foregoing embodiment is a commonly used rectangle, but the structure of the present invention is also applicable to a light guide plate of a backlight module such as a triangle, a track, a circle, or the like which is required for a special product. The fourth and fifth figures show an embodiment in which the light guide plate 1 of the riding group of the present day is circular. Since the circular shape is not the same, it is possible to select any position of the edge to form a straight plane (such as The same as the light surface of the notched concave surface (as shown in the fifth figure) is the same 'in this embodiment, the thickness of the circular light guide plate 1 per point position is based on the light incident surface 11 and The distance of the stated position increases and decreases proportionally (as shown in Figure 4A). The above description is only for the purpose of explaining the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention in any way, so that any modifications relating to the present invention are made in the spirit of the same invention. Or the changes should still be included in the intent of the invention. 200949371 [Simplified Schematic Description] The first is a schematic plan view showing an embodiment in which the light guide plate of the backlight module of the present invention is rectangular, and the light incident surface and the light source are disposed at one corner end of the light guide plate.
