  • Patent number: 9194993
    Abstract: A three-dimensional display apparatus and a backlight module thereof are provided. The display apparatus further includes a display panel disposed on the backlight module. The backlight module has a light guide plate, a plurality of microstructures, a first light source, and a second light source. The light guide plate has a bottom surface and a light emitting surface opposite to the bottom surface, wherein the microstructures are disposed on at least one of the two surfaces. The first light source is at a first corner of the light guide plate while the second light source is at a second corner opposite to the first corner. A first surface and a second surface of the microstructure define an orientation direction (or form a distribution direction) along or parallel to the diagonal line through the first and second corners.
