  • Patent number: 7824094
    Abstract: An exemplary backlight module (1) includes a light source (11) and a light guide plate (12). The light guide plate includes a light incident surface (121) to which the light source is placed adjacent, and a bottom surface (122) adjacent the light incident surface. The bottom surface defines a plurality of recesses (1222). Each recess defines a first slant (101) facing the light source and an arris (103) at a top of the first slant. The arris of the first slant at each recess is aligned substantially perpendicular to a main path of light beams that propagate from the light source to the recess.

  • Patent number: 7800707
    Abstract: A backlight module (200) includes a fame (55) having a plurality of side walls (551, 552, 553, 554); a light guide plate (53) received in the frame, having a light incident surface (533); at least one spring element (5523), having a spring finger (5525) and a connecting arm (5524) connecting the spring finger and one side wall of the frame; and at least one radiation element (56) disposed between the spring finger and the light incident surface. The width of the at least one radiation element is larger than a distance between the light incident surface and the spring finger in a free state.

  • Patent number: 7712943
    Abstract: An exemplary backlight module includes a light source, a light guide panel, and a frame. The light source includes a substrate, blocks disposed on the substrate and spaced from each other, and light emitting diodes (LEDs) each including a first electrode, a second electrode, a chip and a bonding wire. The first and second electrodes are arranged on the substrate between two blocks, and are electrically connected to each other via the chip and the bonding wire. The light guide panel transforms linear light to planar light. The frame receives the light source. Each of two adjacent corners of the frame are step-shaped or wedge-shaped, with two ends of the light source correspondingly cut into step or wedge shapes to engage the frame.

  • Patent number: 7517131
    Abstract: An exemplary backlight module (1) includes a light guide plate (10) and a light source (12) arranged to provide light beams to the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes a light emitting surface (102), a bottom surface (102) opposite to the light emitting surface, and a plurality of reflective structures (104) at the bottom surface. The reflective structures substantially define a plurality of isosceles triangular profiles, and each of the reflective structures maintains a pair of base angles relative to the bottom surface. The base angles of each reflective structure are the same, the base angles of all the reflective structures are the same, and the common base angle is in the range from 45° to 55°.
