This makes the overall assembly area of the backlight module larger. Will cause an increase in production costs. In view of this, it is necessary to provide a cold cathode glory lamp and a backlight module having high light uniformity. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a cold cathode fluorescent lamp having a high light-emitting uniformity. Another backlight module of the present invention. The purpose of the invention is to provide a cold cathode fluorescent lamp using the above-mentioned cold cathode fluorescent dry sputum as a closed glass tube, the inner wall of the glass tube is coated with a phosphor, the glass tube is filled with mercury vapor, and the middle glass tube is transported. The outer surfaces are engraved with a plurality of V-shaped groove structures respectively, and the angle of the groove structure is 75° to 115°. a light guide plate, wherein the backlight module of the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises 1309740 for guiding a light beam emitted from a light source, the light guide plate comprising at least an entrance surface, an exit surface connected to the incident surface, and a bottom surface opposite to the exit surface ;——The above-mentioned cold cathode fluorescent lamp located on the light incident side of the light plate. The advantage of the present invention is that the cathode fluorescent lamp emits light uniformly, thereby; the shadow area of the Xiaom module enables the light utilization rate to be improved, and since the cold cathode (four) light and the light guide plate have the same length, The assembly area of the entire backlight module is reduced, and the cost is reduced. [Embodiment] ^ Please refer to the third drawing, which is a cross-sectional view of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp 21 of the present invention. The cold cathode fluorescent lamp 21 is a closed glass tube 215, and the inner wall of the glass tube is coated with a phosphor (Fig. The glass tube 215 is filled with mercury vapor (not shown), wherein the outer surfaces of the two ends of the glass tube 215 are respectively engraved with a plurality of v-shaped grooves 214. The V-shaped grooves 214 are uniformly distributed in structure, which is produced by precision machining or by lithography. The pitch L of the V-shaped groove 214 is 10 to 20 / zm (micrometer)' and its apex angle is 75. ~115. . Wherein, each pitch of the v-shaped grooves 214 is equidistantly distributed. During operation, the light is emitted from the inner wall 211 of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp glass tube, and the structure of the v-shaped groove 214 forms an angle with the light exit surface 212, thereby reducing the incident angle of the light 0 and the light exit surface 212, when the light reaches ^V When the groove 214 is refracted, it is emitted from the light-emitting surface 212 of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp, which reduces the total reflection of the light on the light-emitting surface 212, thereby improving the light-emitting brightness at both ends of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp 21. Referring to the fourth figure, a backlight module of the present invention includes the cold cathode fluorescent lamp 21 and a light guide plate 22 of the present invention. The cold cathode fluorescent lamp 21 is for emitting a light beam. The light guide plate 22 guides the cold cathode fluorescent lamp 1309740 21 to emit a light beam, and converts it into a surface light source. The light guide plate 22 is formed in a flat plate shape and is made of a transparent material such as acryl, glass or polycarbonate, and includes an incident surface 221, an exit surface (not shown) connected to the incident surface 221, and an opposite surface to the exit surface. Bottom 223. The incident surface 221 is for receiving light from the cold cathode fluorescent lamp 21. The bottom surface 223 of the light guide plate 22 is provided with a plurality of dots 224 to improve the brightness and uniformity of the light emitted from the light guide plate 22. The size of the dots 224 is increased in a direction away from the incident surface 221, which is a spherical shape. The dots 224 can also be cylindrical, cube-shaped, pyramidal or other suitable shapes. The dots 224 may be distributed on the bottom surface 223 of the light guide plate 22 by printing or injection molding. Alternatively, a plurality of V-shaped grooves may be provided in the bottom surface 223 to replace the plurality of dots 224. The backlight module of the present invention may have other modified designs, for example, an anti-reflection film or an anti-reflection film may be forged on the incident surface by electron beam evaporation or chemical vapor deposition to achieve coloration of the incident light. The entrance surface may be coated with a fluorescent layer, and the bottom surface may be provided with a fog-like deciduous flower or a bite flower instead of the plurality of dots. The shape of the light guide plate is not limited to a flat plate shape, and may also be a wedge shape. Since the ineffective light-emitting section of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp of the invention is engraved with a V-shaped groove, the light is emitted, the total light reflection is reduced, the light-emitting brightness of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp is improved, and the cold cathode fluorescent lamp of the invention is The length of the effective light-emitting area and the light guide plate are not required to be lengthened, thereby reducing the volume of the backlight module and reducing the production cost. In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law. However, the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art will be able to make equivalent modifications or changes according to the spirit of the present invention. All should be covered by the following patent application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The first figure is a cross-sectional view of a prior art cold cathode fluorescent lamp.
