the light guide plate is composed of a continuous row of beta deflection means. As is known in the prior art, internal total reflection is produced in a light guide having parallel upper and lower surfaces. The surface structure formed by the continuous deflection device in this embodiment can change the internal total reflection state, so that the light is uniformly emitted from the first surface and/or the second surface having the surface structure, thereby giving the first surface and / or one of the planes near the second side provides a comfortable illumination degree β according to an embodiment of the present invention, the inclination angle of the gentle slope of the deflection device in the surface structure of the light guide plate, that is, the gentle slope and the first side of the light guide plate or the first The angle between the two sides is at 0.1. To 10. More preferably, the angle of the gentle slope is between 0.2 and 8. Between; better, the angle of the gentle slope is at 〇 5. To 2. between. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the inclination angle of the steep slope of the deflecting means in the surface structure of the light guide plate, that is, the steep slope and the angle between the first face or the second face of the light guide plate is 80 〇 to 90.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the width of the deflecting device in the surface structure of the light guide plate, that is, the distance between the steep slope of the deflecting device and the bottom of the gentle slope is 136309.doc 201020472, between 10 μηι and 3 mm; Preferably, the deflection means has a width of between 5 〇 μηη and 1 mm. Since the width of the deflecting device is small and the angle of the gentle slope is small, the surface of the light guide plate having a surface structure such as a smooth surface is visually recognized, so that one person passes through the light guide plate and is seen near the other side of the light guide plate. The pattern does not produce significant distortion. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the light guide plate is between 〇5 mm and 5 melons; more preferably, the thickness of the light guide plate is between 0.6 mmi2 min; more preferably, the thickness of the light guide plate is between 0 mm and 8 mm. The thinner thickness between 1.2 mm^ not only makes the light guide plate lighter, but also makes the light guide plate have a certain bendability 'can bend with the surface to be illuminated. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the light guide plate may include one of the following materials: polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene ( Ps). As is known, the above materials all have good light transmittance. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface structure of the light guide plate is at least φ covered with a hard mask layer. The hardness of the mask layer is generally higher than that of the body of the light guide plate, so that the wear resistance of the light guide plate is further improved. Optionally, the hard mask layer may be covered with a plurality of other thin layers, such as one or more of an antifouling layer, an antireflective layer, and other similar optical films having special effects. According to an embodiment of the invention, the deflection means in the surface structure of the light guide plate is formed by covering at least one cover layer over a zigzag or triangular device, the cover layer comprising a hard mask layer. Optionally, the cover layer also includes a number of other thin layers, such as an antifouling layer, an antireflection layer, and the like, one or more of the optical films having a special effect of 136309.doc 201020472. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a lighting device includes a light-emitting element, a illuminating body, and a casing, and the casing houses the illuminating element and supports the illuminating body illuminating body. Among the light-emitting elements, the following devices can be used: a light-emitting diode (LED), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an incandescent lamp, and a burnt lamp.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a cross section of a light guide plate 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The light guide plate 1 is substantially flat and includes an upper surface u and a lower surface 12, wherein the upper surface 11 and the lower surface 12 are substantially parallel. In the illustrated embodiment, the 'lower surface 12 is flat and smooth' and the upper surface has a surface structure that is continuously formed by a plurality of deflection devices 21, each having a steep slope 17 (in Figure 1 shows i7a and 17b) and a gentle slope 18 (shown as 18a and 18b in Figure 1) and all of the gentle slopes 18 descend in the same direction. Although the upper surface 11 has a surface structure 'because the 136309.doc -10· 201020472 of the deflecting means is small in size and the angle of the gentle slope is small, it appears to the naked eye that the upper surface 11 is still a flat surface as a whole. The illustrated light guide plate 10 can be used in a reading light for illuminating a surface adjacent to the light guide plate 10, such as a newspaper or a book. Light is usually emitted from the light-emitting element 31 on the side of the light guide plate, and the surface structure formed by the continuous deflection means 21 can change the internal total reflection state of the light guide plate 1''. For example, the light is directed from the inside of the light guide plate 1 to the gentle slope 18&; part of the light is reflected by the gentle slope 18a to the lower surface 12, and some light is also emitted, mainly by refraction, penetrating the gentle slope 18a and exiting the light guide plate 1〇. A part of the light emitted from the gentle slope 18a to the light guide plate is incident on the steep slope 17b, and at least a part of it penetrates the steep slope 17b and is returned to the inside of the light guide plate 1b. The light that is incident on the lower surface 12 from the inside of the light guide plate 1 is partially reflected to the upper surface, and partially penetrates the lower surface 12 to exit the light guide plate 1〇. Thus, the light is emitted from the upper surface 11 and the lower surface 12 of the light guide plate 10 by the deflection of the continuous deflecting means. The external light can also pass through the light guide plate 1 so that one person can see the contents of the page covered by the light guide plate 10. The inclination angle of each gentle slope, that is, the angle between each gentle slope and the upper surface 11 or the lower surface 12 may be changed. For example, the inclination angles of the gentle slopes 18a and 18b may be the same or different; similarly, The angle of inclination of each steep slope, that is, the angle between each steep slope and the upper surface 11 or the lower surface 12 may also vary. For example, the inclination angles of the steep slopes 17a and m may be the same or different; thus, the light guide plate 10 is The emitted light reaches a better optical distribution. Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing a cross section of a light guide plate 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The light guide plate is substantially flat and includes an upper surface u and a lower surface U, such that the upper surface U and the lower surface 12 are substantially parallel. In the illustrated embodiment 136309.doc 201020472, the upper surface 11 has a surface structure 'the surface structure is continuously formed by a plurality of deflection devices 21, each deflection device 21 having a gentle slope 17 and a steep slope 18; and the lower surface 12 also has a surface structure that is continuously disposed by a plurality of deflection devices 22, each deflection device 22 having a gentle slope 17 and a steep slope 18; and all of the gentle slopes 18 are lowered in the same direction. Generally, the light-emitting element 31 on one side of the light guide plate emits light, and the surface structure formed by the continuous deflection devices 21, 22 can change the internal reflection state of the light guide plate 1 , and the deflection of the continuous deflection device, the light guide plate 1 〇, the upper surface 11 and the lower surface 12 have light rays emitted. Wherein, the inclination angle of each gentle slope can be changed; similarly, the inclination angle of each steep slope can also be changed; thus, the light emitted from the light guide plate 10' can achieve a better optical distribution. Fig. 3 is a partial enlarged view showing the surface structure of the elliptical elliptical portion in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2. As shown, the surface structure is comprised of continuous deflection devices 21, each of which includes a steep slope 17 and a gentle slope 18. The alignment line of a deflecting device can be roughly divided into four parts, as shown in Fig. 3, that is, the connecting portion A between the gentle slope 18a of the deflecting device 21a and the steep slope 17b of the deflecting device 21b, and the peak portion C of the deflecting device 21b. The portions B and De corresponding to the steep slope 17b and the gentle slope 18b of the deflection device 21b are substantially straight, and the portions A and C are substantially smooth curves. The peak portion of each deflection device is more susceptible to external forces such as rubbing or collision. In this embodiment, the peak portion of each deflection device and the connection portion between the different deflection devices are streamlined, so that when subjected to an external force, the pressure can be partially dispersed, so that the local pressure is reduced, so that the deflection device is not easily broken. The light guide plate 10 has the characteristics of resistance to rubbing, and has 136309.doc •12· 201020472 even if it is used repeatedly.

More preferably, the 'hard cover layer can also be covered with a number of other thin layers, such as anti-fouling layers, anti-reflection layers and other similar optical films of special effects, such that the light guide plate has Anti-fouling, anti-reflection and other improved effectiveness b* Generally, the sweat layer is placed on the top and the permeation layer can be disposed on the hard mask layer or under the hard mask layer. As shown in Fig. 3, the inclination angle of the steep slope 17 of the deflection device is (X, the inclination angle of the gentle slope 18 of the deflection device is ββ, and the angle 0 of the gentle slope 18 is between 〇1〇 and 1〇. More preferably, β is between 〇5 and 8. Usually, the angle α of the steep slope 17 is between 80 and 90. More preferably, 〇^ is between 82 and 88. The width of the deflection device is , that is, the distance between the steep slope 17 of the deflection device and the bottom of the gentle slope 18, between 10 0 „! and 3 mm, more preferably the width of the deflection device is between 50 μπι and 1 mm. Because of the deflection device 21 The width is small, and the upper and lower surfaces of the light guide plate 10 are like two smooth surfaces by the naked eye; and because the angle of the gentle slope 18 is small, the pattern near the light guide plate seen by one person through the light guide plate 10 does not become obvious. The material used for the light guide plate 10 can be a commonly used chemical raw material, such as one of the following materials: polyethylene, polyamine, polypropylene, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), Polystyrene (ps). As is known, all of the above materials have good light transmission. Two methods are generally used to produce the light guide plate of the present invention. One method is to directly project and shape PMMA, Pc, etc., to produce a light guide plate according to the invention of 136309.doc • 13-201020472. Preferably, according to different For the purpose and requirement, the surface of the light guide plate is also covered with a plurality of thin layers. The other method comprises the following two steps: the first step, producing a light guide plate having a surface structure on at least one side, the surface structure comprising a plurality of cross sections a sawtooth, a quadrangular, a trapezoidal or other similarly shaped deflecting device. Figure 4 (1) shows the surface structure of the deflecting device having a cross section of a mineral tooth or a triangle. The second step is in the first step. The resulting surface structure is coated with a layer mask, as shown in FIG. 4(2), which forms an approximate cylinder δ and has a curved alignment at the corner, thereby producing the present invention. The disclosed light guide plate may be a dip coating, a spin coating spray, a flow coating or any other method. Preferably, the material hardness of the mask layer should be south. The material used in the middle surface structure, Therefore, the light guide plate has the characteristics of scratch resistance and wear resistance. More preferably, the hard mask layer can also be covered with other thin layers of the right stem, such as an antifouling layer, an antireflection layer and the like. One or more of the optical films with special effects, so that the slab has improved performance such as anti-reflection, anti-reflection, etc. Usually the anti-sweat layer is disposed on the uppermost layer, and the anti-reflection layer can be disposed on the hard mask layer. 5 can also be disposed under the hard mask layer.
