In particular, the first light-emitting portion 2 (9) of each of the first light-guiding patterns 218a is on the surface of the second (four) projection wheel (four), so as to facilitate the light ray to be uniformly diverge after being refracted by the first light-emitting 219a, thereby avoiding the generation of hot spots __. problem. = This = In the embodiment, the -th light guiding pattern 218a is, for example, spherical. That is, the projection rim of the first light-emitting portion 219a and the first light-collecting portion on the light-guiding surface 216 are circular arc lines, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Moreover, in other embodiments, the first light guiding patterns in the first region 216a may have different projection profiles of the first light exiting portions (10) on the light guiding surface. On the other hand, although the light p emitted from the light source 22 is from the light incident surface 212, after entering the light guide plate 21, its brightness will decrease from the first region (10) to the second portion 216b, but due to the second light guide. The second light exiting portion b of the pattern 为 is a straight line on the projection wheel # of the light guiding surface 216. Therefore, the brightness of the light refracted by the second light emitting portion 219b that is confused by the second light guiding pattern can be improved, and the light can be changed from the light guide plate 210 to 201115190. The overall uniformity of the light emitted by the light exit surface 214. In this embodiment, the second light guiding pattern 218b is designed as a rectangular parallelepiped, so as to increase the distribution density of the second light guiding pattern 218b in the second region 216b, thereby improving the light exiting brightness of the light guide plate 210. That is, the projection profiles of the second light-emitting portion 21 and the second light-concentrating portion 217b on the light-guiding surface 216 are both straight lines, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the second light guiding patterns 218b distributed in the second region 216b may have different projection profiles of the second light exiting portions 219b on the light guiding surface 216. In addition, the light guide plate 21 of the present embodiment has a distance l from the boundary between the first region 216a and the second region 216b to the light incident surface 212, and the ratio of the preferred L to the thickness T of the light guide plate is greater than 5. When the ratio of the thickness of L to the thickness τ of the light guide plate is controlled to be greater than 5, the uniformity of light emission from the light guide plate can be significantly improved, and the occurrence of hot spots (h〇t spot) can be avoided. Referring again to FIG. 2, the optical film 230 is disposed above the light-emitting surface 214 of the light guide plate 210. The optical film 230 may include at least one of a brightness enhancement film (BEF) and a diffusing film (diffusing fllm). In addition, in order to further improve the light utilization rate, a reflective sheet 240 is disposed under the light guide plate # 210 for refracting the light that is not refracted back to the inside of the light guide plate 21 by the first light guide pattern 218a and the second light guide pattern 218b. Reflected to the inside of the light guide plate 210. It should be noted that although the backlight module 2 illustrated in FIG. 2 is a single-sided light-emitting backlight module, it is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the light guide plate 210 of the present invention can be applied to a multi-side light-emitting backlight module in addition to the backlight module 200 of FIG. Although the above embodiment is merely illustrative of a spherical first light guiding pattern 21 such as a rectangular parallelepiped second light guiding pattern 218b, the present invention is not limited thereto. In the 201115190, Γ* column, the projection profile of the first light exiting portion 219 & on the light guiding surface 216 is 〇疋 sine / cosine curve (see Figure 4 Α), continuous arc curve (see Figure 4 Β) or irregular arc (See FIG. 4C), and the projection profile of the first collector stop 217a of the first light guiding pattern 在 on the light guiding surface 216 may be a straight line (see FIG. 4D) or an arc (see FIG. 4E). On the other hand, the projection profile of the first light collecting portion 2Hb of the second light guiding pattern 218b on the light guiding surface can also be a fox line, as shown in Figs. 5A to 5C. Fig. 6 is a schematic view showing the arrangement of a light source and a light guide plate in another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 6, the light guide plate 31 of the present embodiment is similar to the light guide plate of the foregoing embodiment. Hereinafter, only the differences between the two will be described. In the first region 216a of the light guide plate 310, the average light distribution density of the first light guiding pattern 218a corresponding to the light source 220 is smaller than the average distribution density corresponding to the spacer. In this embodiment, the light guiding surface 216 of the light guide plate 31 is not distributed with the first light guiding pattern 218a adjacent to the light source 220. In particular, the projected area of the first light guiding pattern 218a corresponding to the center of the interval d on the light guiding surface 216 is, for example, larger than the projected area of the remaining first light guiding patterns 218a on the light guiding surface 216. In this way, after the light emitted by the light source 22 is incident on the inside of the light guide plate 310, the light can be scattered by the first light guiding pattern 218a corresponding to each interval d to avoid dark bands. Figure 7 is a front elevational view of a light guide plate in another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 7, the light guide plate 410 of the present embodiment is similar to the light guide plate 21 of the foregoing embodiment, and only the differences between the two will be described below. The first region 216a of the light guide plate 410 includes a low beam region 316 and a buffer region 317, wherein the buffer region 317 is located between the low beam region 316 and the second region 216b. Moreover, in the buffer zone 317, the curvature of the projection profile of the first light exiting portion 219a of the first light guiding pattern 2i8a adjacent to the low beam region 316 on the light guiding surface 216 (see FIG. 2) is greater than that of the adjacent second region 218b. The curvature of the projection profile of the first light exiting portion 219a of the light guiding pattern 218a on the light guiding surface 216. In the present embodiment, the first light guiding patterns 218a located in the buffer zone 317 are based on the curvature of the projection profile of the first light exiting portion 219a on the light guiding surface 216, from large to small from the low beam region 316 toward the first The directions of the two regions 218b are sequentially arranged, so that the overall light uniformity of the light guide plate 41〇 can be improved. FIG. 8 is a front elevational view of a light guide plate according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 8, the light guide plate 51 of the present embodiment is similar to the light guide plate 41 of the above-described embodiment. Hereinafter, only the differences between the two will be described. In addition to the first light guiding pattern 218a, a portion of the second light guiding pattern 218b is distributed in the buffer zone 317 of the light guide plate 510. In other words, the first light guiding pattern 218a and the second light guiding pattern 218b are simultaneously distributed in the buffer zone 317 of the light guide plate 210 of the embodiment, and the first light guiding patterns 218a are alternately arranged with the second light guiding patterns 218b, respectively. Therefore, the overall light uniformity of the light guide plate 51 can be improved. It is worth mentioning that, in the foregoing embodiment, the first light guiding pattern 218a and the second light guiding pattern 218b of the light guiding plate are both distributed on the light guiding surface 216 of the opposite light emitting surface 214 (that is, the bottom surface of the light guiding plate). However, the invention is not limited thereto. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the light directing surface 216 can also be the light exiting surface of the light guide. That is, the first light guiding pattern 218a and the second light guiding pattern 218b may also be distributed on the light emitting surface 614 of the light guiding plate 610, as shown in FIG. Of course, in other embodiments, the first light guiding pattern 218a and the second light guiding pattern 218b may be distributed on the light emitting surface 614 and the bottom surface 616 of the light guiding plate 610 at the same time, which is not limited herein. In summary, the light guiding surface of the light guide plate of the present invention is provided with a plurality of light guiding patterns, wherein the first light emitting portion of the light guiding pattern adjacent to the light source is projected on the light guiding surface 201115190, and the contour is an arc, and the mouse can Evenly refracting the system, _ avoiding the problem that the light is concentrated and emitted, resulting in hot spots. On the other hand, the first light guiding pattern away from the light source is a straight line on the projection rim of the guide wire to increase the light exit rate of the light emitted by the person to the light guide plate, thereby increasing the light output of the light guide plate. This allows: 'The back-field set using this guide provides a uniform light source with high brightness.
