Since the liquid crystal itself does not have a lulight characteristic, it is necessary to provide a backlight module for display function. The backlight mode slave needs to have a higher uniformity of light emission' to improve the liquid crystal display degree, the full-screen brightness effect and the viewing angle of the backlight module. The first technical back wire group includes a light rail light guide plate, and the light source is disposed on the light incident surface of the light guide plate. The light guide plate guides the direction of light emitted from the light source, and converts the line light source or the point light source into a surface light source. The cold cathode glory lamp is used as the light source. Although the brightness of the cold cathode lamp has a good display effect, it has the following defects: the cold cathode fluorescent lamp The low relative to the middle part causes the backlight module to emit light with a low degree of uniformity; the cold cathode fluorescent lamp must be high voltage and supplied by the AC power supply, which is unfavorable for the portable display system and the communication shout will affect and interfere. The image signal of the liquid crystal display; cold and yin, the light of the lamp is a cylinder, and the utilization rate is low; the life of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp will be again to the degree of the dish: loud and low; and, in addition, the cold cathode fluorescent lamp is used. The liquid crystal display of the tube is relatively cost-effective. / month refers to the “-®” to overcome the cold cathode fluorescent tube, the prior art backlight module, and uses a point source such as a light-emitting body. The backlight module includes a point light source η, a light guide plate 1〇 and a reflection plate 13; wherein the point light source η is located on the light-incident surface ιοί- side of the light guide plate, and the 1333102 reflection plate 13 positions (four) the light guide plate bottom surface 1〇3 side. In order to enhance the light-emitting uniformity, the bottom surface 103 of the light guide plate is distributed with a mesh point 121, and the light-emitting surface is provided with a condensed pattern 122; however, the prior art backlight age 1 saves the forest foot·· silk group makes Wei New, U, boat vertical The light intensity distribution in the direction of the smooth surface 101 is uneven, and the light utilization rate is not high. ^ In view of this, it is necessary to provide a backlight mode with high utilization of light energy and high uniformity of light emission. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a backlight having a high utilization rate of light energy and a high uniformity of light emission. The present module includes at least a point light source, at least - an even "connection" to the point light source, at least - The light guide fiber connected to the transducer and transmitting the light source beam and the upper light guide substrate are guided to convert it into a simple perturbation structure of the wire to make the optical fiber difficult to infuse The material is light, and the optical fiber package is thin. The upper light guide substrate=the plurality of curved portions. The light beam emitted from the light source directly exits the light-emitting material from the plurality of material portions, and the groove is perturbed away from the point source end. The depth of the structure is gradually increased. = The previous syllabus 'this judgment depends on _ using the light guide to emit the singularity of the point source = into the inside of the light guide plate' due to the coupling efficiency between the light guiding fiber and the point source. The concave perturbation structure of the upper and lower light guiding substrates makes the beam = wire coffee-like miscellaneous pieces damaged, and the more the wooden structure, the larger the amount of money leakage, and the deeper the perturbation structure , to achieve the effect of the balance of light energy everywhere.
