Figure imgf000003_0001
故习知技术中的导 光板采用之长条形凹槽构造只能接收到光源一侧面散射光,而另一侧 之散射光无法得以充分利用,况且长条形凹槽还必须藉由其朝向光源 那側设置的突起结构辅助导光, 如此在结构上有所限制, 且制程上存 在较为复杂, 不利于生产加工。 发明内容 本发明针对上述习知技术所存在之缺失,主要目的在于提供一种 导光板, 其通过增加导光面积及充分利用光源散射性, 更好地提升整 体亮度和均匀性。
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention generally relates to a light guide plate, and more particularly to a light guide plate suitable for use in an electronic/communication key. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION For the prior art, please refer to Chinese Patent Application No. 20051 0036410. 2 A button light guide plate having a small number of LEDs and reducing power consumption and ensuring brightness and uniformity of light emission of a button is provided by a light-emitting surface and a light-emitting surface is formed, and a plurality of holes corresponding to the buttons are respectively disposed on the board, and an elongated groove for accommodating the light source is disposed on the light-incident surface, and the elongated groove has a protrusion structure of the back light guide plate; wherein Knowledge technology is mainly through the light
Figure imgf000003_0001
Therefore, the long-groove structure of the light guide plate in the prior art can only receive the scattered light on one side of the light source, and the scattered light on the other side cannot be fully utilized. Moreover, the long groove must also be oriented by it. The protruding structure provided on the side of the light source assists the light guiding, so that the structure is limited, and the process is complicated, which is not conducive to production processing. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to the absence of the above-described prior art, and a primary object is to provide a light guide plate that better enhances overall brightness and uniformity by increasing the light guiding area and making full use of light source scattering.
为实现上述之目的, 本发明采取如下技术方案:  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
一种导光板, 包括一高透光率的塑胶板, 于该塑胶板上开设有一 供光源容置的收纳孔。  A light guide plate includes a plastic plate with high light transmittance, and a plastic hole for accommodating the light source is disposed on the plastic plate.
该收纳孔内壁呈多边形构造; 该多边形呈规则或不规则形状。 本发明与习知技术相比,其优点在于通过收纳孔之构造取代习知 技术中具突起的长条形四槽之设计, 可充分利用光源两侧散射光, 进 一步也增加了其导光面积, 从而更好地提升整体亮度和均匀性。 附图说明 图 1是本发明导光板实施例 (一) 图 2是本发明导光板实施例 (二) 。 具体实施方式 下面结合附图与具体实施方式对本发明作进一步描述。 The inner wall of the receiving hole has a polygonal structure; the polygon has a regular or irregular shape. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that the design of the accommodating hole replaces the long four-slot design with protrusions in the prior art, and the scattered light on both sides of the light source can be fully utilized, and the light guiding area thereof is further increased. To better improve overall brightness and uniformity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a view (1) of a light guide plate of the present invention; Figure 2 is a view (2) of the light guide plate of the present invention.
