近年來光電相關技術不斷推陳出新,加上數位化時代 的到來,進而推動了液晶顯示器市場的蓬勃發展。液晶顯 示器(Liquid Crystal Displayer ; LCD)具有高畫質、體積小、 重量輕、低電壓驅動、低消耗功率及應用範圍廣等優點, 因此被廣泛地應用於可攜式電視、行動電話、筆記型電腦 以及桌上型顯示器等消費性電子或電腦產品,並逐漸取代 陰極射線管(Cathode Ray Tube ; CRT)成為顯示器的主流。 背光模組為液晶顯示面板的關鍵零組件之一。有鑒於 液晶本身並不會發光,因此需要使用背光模組來供應光 源,藉以使液晶面板能夠顯示正常且亮度勻稱之影像。背 光模組中通常具有集光元件,例如擴散片(diffusion sheet) 與增亮膜(brightness enhancement film),以增加出射光線之 輝度,使出射光線的分佈能夠更加均勻。 【新型内容】 本新型一方面就是在提供一種集光元件,用以將背光 模組所射出的光線往中央集中。 根據本新型之上述目的,提出一種集光元件,其包含 基材以及複數個棱鏡。該些稜鏡排列於基材上,且每一稜 5 M337755 鏡具有一相對高峰以及至少一相對低峰。相對低峰之稜線 與相對高峰之稜線等長,且所有相對高峰與相對低峰之稜 線均相互平行。 由上述可知,本新型之棱鏡上相對低峰的設計,有助 於減少疊紋效應(Moir6 Effect)且不減損集光元件之輝度。 【實施方式】In recent years, optoelectronic related technologies have been continuously introduced, and the arrival of the digital era has promoted the vigorous development of the liquid crystal display market. Liquid crystal display (LCD) is widely used in portable TVs, mobile phones, and notebooks because of its high image quality, small size, light weight, low voltage drive, low power consumption, and wide application range. Consumer electronics or computer products such as computers and desktop displays have gradually replaced cathode ray tubes (CRTs) as the mainstream of displays. The backlight module is one of the key components of the liquid crystal display panel. In view of the fact that the liquid crystal itself does not emit light, it is necessary to use a backlight module to supply the light source, so that the liquid crystal panel can display a normal and well-balanced image. The backlight module usually has a light collecting element, such as a diffusion sheet and a brightness enhancement film, to increase the brightness of the emitted light, so that the distribution of the emitted light can be more uniform. [New Content] One aspect of the present invention is to provide a light collecting element for concentrating the light emitted by the backlight module toward the center. In accordance with the above objects of the present invention, a light collecting element is provided which includes a substrate and a plurality of prisms. The crucibles are arranged on the substrate, and each edge 5 M337755 mirror has a relative peak and at least one relatively low peak. The ridgeline of the relatively low peak is as long as the ridgeline of the opposite peak, and the ridgelines of all the relative peaks and the relatively low peaks are parallel to each other. As can be seen from the above, the relatively low peak design of the prism of the present invention helps to reduce the Moir6 Effect without detracting from the luminance of the light collecting element.

Can be more even. Moreover, conventional brightening films mostly concentrate light by periodic linear bumps, but the bumps of this shape easily cause a crease effect with the liquid crystal display of the liquid crystal display, thereby causing visual defects. . Therefore, the following embodiments of the present invention will propose a light collecting element to solve the above problems.
