Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a backlight module, and more particularly to a backlight capable of providing a surface light source having uniform brightness and chromaticity Module. [Prior Art] A conventional backlight module without a light guide plate separates a light source, a reflective element, and an optical film limb, respectively, at a space, a bottom, and a top. The shouting of the vehicle transmits reflections in the cavity without the actual object. As the number of reflections of the beam increases, the overall light mixing characteristic is better, and the brightness uniformity can be achieved. However, in order to provide a uniform surface light source, the design of one end of the cavity configuration reflective element will make the backlight module It is difficult to be thin and light. On the other hand, the method of improving the light energy non-uniformity by changing the distance between the reflective element and the light-emitting surface to increase the light reflectance away from the light source will also make the backlight module difficult to be thin. Further, U.S. Patent No. 7,164,863 discloses a backlight module comprising a light source, an optical cavity, a sheet of material of a meandering structure, and a sheet of material having a highly reflective surface. The light source is disposed beside the optical cavity, and the material piece of the 稜鏡 structure and the material piece with the high reflection surface are respectively disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the optical cavity, wherein the two material pieces are flat. In addition, a material having a highly reflective surface is provided with a structural pattern on the sheet, and a scattering reflective material is applied to control the reflection of light. In addition, Taiwan Patent Publication No. 200636353 discloses a backlight module which includes a back plate, a mirror, a reflective layer and a light transmissive plate, 201109797 j-ίίθθδ; 3I787twf.doc/n wherein the above components form a Closed space. The reflective astigmatism structure is adapted to allow the light beam emitted by the illuminating element to be uniformly penetrated.
