描器、幻燈片看片箱等產品。 一般而言背光模組主要是由三個部分所組成:外殼、光 學板材及光源。依照其光源入射位置的不同,可分成側光式 入光(edge lighting)與直下式入光(bottom lighting)兩種。 側光式入光之背光模組,通常是應用於例如手提型電腦 等要求省電與輕薄之產品上。為了達到輕薄之要求,通常是 於背光模組的側邊放置光源,並藉由導光板(Light guide plate),將光源出射的光導引至顯示面板上。導光板係利用 射出成型的方法將甲基丙婦酸甲醋聚合物(Poly methyl methacrylate, PMMA)壓製成表面光滑的板塊,然後在導 光板的底面用具有光擴散之材料進行網版印刷,或直接以射 出成型方式產生擴散點,以破壞光的全反射使光折射出導光 板表面,再利用點的疏密或大小,使出射的光達到初步均化 的效果。 5 1271584 _

正視角之輝度。擴散板的主要功能則是將出射光線做散射 處理修正原始光源視角分布,以消除光源的亮帶與陰影, 進而使畫面的輝度更均勻,達到霧化的效果。 直下式入光之背光模組,通常是應用於例如電視等需具 備高亮度之產品上。為了提昇輝度,傳統上是將複數個光源 排列於顯示面板之正下方,使得光源的輪廓極易顯示於畫面 上,造成整體畫面之輝度不均勻。 為了解決上述問題,習知技術係於顯示面板與光源間設 置擴散板與複數個光學膜片,如擴散膜片(Diffuser film)、 稜鏡片(Prism sheet)。第2圖係繪示習知之直下式背光模組 的概略剖視圖。直下式背光模組200係由外殼21、反射板 24、複數個光源26、稜鏡片29、以及擴散板28所組成。 然而,側邊入光式背光模組的導光板,使用網版印刷製 作易產生印刷不均勻的現象,若使用射出成型製作則需要另 外開模,成本較高;再者,側邊入光式背光模組中擴散膜片 與稜鏡片的設置,不僅增加材料與組裝成本,亦浪費膜片之 置入空間。而直下式背光模組中擴散板之製作,係以透明板 材添加擴散劑的方式製作,雖然擴散劑可產生光的散射效 果,但卻會吸收光而降低光使用效率。 1271584 因此有必要提供一 組,可兼顧光使用效率、 泠年Θ月/3日修决)正替換頁 種具有改良式光學板材的背光模 光均勻度以及材料與組裝之成本。

particular, a type of use in the backlight module Optical sheet. [Prior Art] Backlight module refers to a component that can provide a back light source. It is currently used in various information, communication, and consumer products, such as liquid crystal display (LCD) and film scanner. , slide to see the box and other products. Generally speaking, the backlight module is mainly composed of three parts: a casing, an optical plate and a light source. According to the difference of the incident position of the light source, it can be divided into two types: edge lighting and bottom lighting. Backlight type backlight modules are commonly used in products requiring power saving and thinness such as portable computers. In order to achieve the requirements of lightness and thinness, a light source is usually placed on the side of the backlight module, and the light emitted from the light source is guided to the display panel by a light guide plate. The light guide plate uses a method of injection molding to compress a methyl methyl methacrylate (PMMA) into a smooth surface plate, and then screen printing on the bottom surface of the light guide plate with a material having light diffusion, or The diffusion point is directly generated by the injection molding method to destroy the total reflection of the light to refract the light out of the surface of the light guide plate, and then use the density or size of the point to achieve the initial homogenization effect. 5 1271584 _ 缸年月月月月修修) The replacement page is a conventional optical film between the display panel and the light source, such as a diffuser film (Diffuser film) or a cymbal (Prism). Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a conventional side-lit backlight module. The side light type backlight module 1 is composed of a casing η, a light guide plate 12, a reflective film 14, at least one prism sheet 19, a plurality of light sources 16, and a diffusion film is. The prism lens is used to change the angle of light emission by the refraction of light, thereby increasing the brightness of the positive viewing angle. The main function of the diffuser is to scatter the emitted light to correct the original light source's viewing angle distribution, so as to eliminate the bright band and shadow of the light source, so that the brightness of the picture is more uniform and the atomization effect is achieved. A direct-lit backlight module is usually used in products such as televisions that require high brightness. In order to increase the brightness, a plurality of light sources are conventionally arranged directly below the display panel, so that the outline of the light source is easily displayed on the screen, resulting in uneven brightness of the overall picture. In order to solve the above problems, the prior art is to provide a diffusion plate and a plurality of optical films, such as a diffusion film (Diffuser film) and a Prism sheet, between the display panel and the light source. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a conventional direct type backlight module. The direct type backlight module 200 is composed of a casing 21, a reflection plate 24, a plurality of light sources 26, a cymbal plate 29, and a diffusion plate 28. However, the light guide plate of the side-lit backlight module is easy to produce uneven printing by screen printing. If the injection molding is used, the mold needs to be opened separately, and the cost is high; The arrangement of the diffusion diaphragm and the cymbal in the backlight module not only increases the material and assembly cost, but also wastes the space for the diaphragm to be placed. In the direct type backlight module, the diffusion plate is produced by adding a diffusing agent to the transparent plate. Although the diffusing agent can generate light scattering effect, it absorbs light and reduces light use efficiency. 1271584 It is therefore necessary to provide a set that combines light efficiency with the use of the next year. It is a replacement for the backlight uniformity of the improved optical sheet and the cost of materials and assembly. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a backlight module that combines the uniformity of light and the cost of materials and assembly. The technical feature of the present invention is that a composite optical plate is manufactured by mechanical imprinting to replace the structure of the conventional plate with an additional optical film, thereby producing a uniform surface light source. According to the present invention, not only the use of the optical film sheet can be reduced, but also the absorption of the light source can be reduced, and the light use efficiency of the backlight film group can be improved. Moreover, the assembly process of the backlight module can be simplified. Therefore, the present invention not only achieves light use efficiency to increase the brightness of the liquid crystal display panel, but also can greatly reduce the material and assembly cost of the backlight film group, and meets the industrial requirements for thinning. [Embodiment] Please refer to Fig. 3, which is a schematic cross-sectional view of an edge-lit backlight module according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The structure of the edge-lit backlight module 300 shown in FIG. 3 is similar to that of the backlight module 100 of FIG. 1 . The biggest difference lies in the optical sheet, the diaphragm and the manufacturing method of the two backlight modules. The backlight module 300 of the present embodiment is composed of a housing 31, an optical plate 33, a reflective sheet 34, and a backlight 36. 7 1271584 #年^月β日修瘦) Replacement page The outer casing 3 1 is a closed structure, including a light exit opening 35, and the material of the outer casing 3 i includes a plasticized material, a metal material, or other opaque material. The main force b is supporting the greedy module and preventing light from leaking out of the light exit opening 35. The reflective sheet 34 is located on the innermost layer of the backlight module and is a highly reflective optical film or directly coated with a highly reflective material (for example, white paint) on the bottom 31 of the backlight module 300. The optical plate 33 is located between the reflective sheet 34 and the light exit opening 35, and is a light source propagation medium according to the design of the backlight module. The optical plate 33 may have a structure with different shapes, such as a wedge structure or a cubic structure, and a thickness range. Between 4.0mm and 12mm. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the optical sheet 3 3 is a cubic structure having a thickness of about 1 mm. The optical sheet 33 is formed by coextruding at least two materials using a one-step press process. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the optical sheet 3 3 is a two-layer structure in which a polycarbonate resin layer 33a and a methyl methacrylate polymer layer 331 are collectively stretched using a plastic platen technique. In still other embodiments of the present invention, the optical sheet may be a multi-layered structure in which a plurality of materials are coextruded. The material of the optical plate 33 may be, for example, a homopolymer or a copolymer of a highly transparent methyl methacrylate polymer, other soft optical films (for example, a diffusion plate, a transparent film), a polycarbonate resin, or MMA / styrene copolymer and the like. The optical sheet 33 has two pressure-extending surfaces, wherein at least one of the pressure-extending surfaces has a curved three-dimensional pattern 33a', and the curved three-dimensional pattern 33a is pre-marked on the rolling roller when the optical sheet is extruded. The stretched stereo 1271584 bell year/work month/3 day repair (received) is replacing the page pattern and is transferred onto the stretched surface by imprinting. The three-dimensional design of the 3D is designed to match different optical purposes, for example, in conjunction with the arrangement of the backlight 36, the increased brightness of the condensed light, or the adjustment of the light scattering. In some embodiments of the present invention, the profile of the three-dimensionally stretched pattern 33a may be symmetrical or asymmetrical, regular or irregular, wavy, serrated, square-toothed or other suitable pattern. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the stretched three-dimensional pattern 33a' is transferred onto the polycarbonate resin layer 33a to transfer a structure, which is used to replace the structure of the conventional backlight module. The light is concentrated by the refraction of the three-dimensional pattern 33a. Referring to Figure 4, there is shown a schematic cross-sectional view of an edge-lit backlight module according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The side-lit backlight module 4〇〇 structure shown in FIG. 4 is composed of a casing 41, an optical plate 43, a reflection sheet 44, and a backlight 46. Similar to the structure of the backlight module 300 of FIG. 3, the main difference is that the two sides of the optical plate 43 respectively have the extended three-dimensional patterns 43a, 43b, and the optical plate 33 shown in FIG. 3 has only one side. The three-dimensional pattern 33a is stretched. The optical sheet 43 is located between the reflective sheet 44 and the light exit opening 45 and is a light source propagation medium. Depending on the design of the backlight module, the optical sheet 43 can be of a different type, such as a wedge or cube structure, having a thickness ranging from 4.0 mm to 12 mm. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the optical sheet 43 is a cubic structure having a thickness of about 1 〇 mm. The optical sheet 43 is formed by using a stretching process to stretch at least one of the materials. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the optical sheet material 43 is a two-layer structure in which two materials are integrally stretched and formed. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the optical sheet may be a multilayer structure in which a plurality of materials are integrally formed by extrusion. The material of the optical plate 43 may be, for example, a homopolymer or a copolymer of a highly transparent methyl methacrylate polymer, other soft optics, such as a 'diffusion plate, a transparent film, a polycarbonate resin, and a crucible. A/ This ethylene copolymer, or other light-transmissive plastic material. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the optical sheet 43 is a two-layer structure in which a polycarbonate resin material 43a and a mercapto methacrylate polymer 43b are co-compressed using a plastic platen technique. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the stretched three-dimensional pattern 43a is transferred onto the methyl methacrylate polymer 43a by a regular zigzag pattern to replace the conventional prism sheet to pass the light. After the refraction of the three-dimensional pattern 43 a, the condensed light increases the luminance. The extended three-dimensional pattern 43b is formed by transferring an irregular mesh bump on the polycarbonate resin layer 4 3 b to replace the printing dot and the injection molding dot of the conventional light guide plate to destroy the total reflection of the light. The light passes through the polycarbonate resin material layer 4 3 b ' and is densely arranged by the rolling three-dimensional pattern 43b' to form a uniform surface light source. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a direct type backlight module according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
