  • Publication number: 20140070237
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel, a light guide plate, point light sources, a passivation layer and a first light adjusting layer. The light guide plate is disposed above the display panel and has an upper surface, an opposite lower surface, a light incident surface, a first and a second light guiding blocks. The display panel is disposed corresponding to the first light guiding block, and the second light guiding block extends outside the display panel. A portion of the upper surface located on the first light guiding block is an even surface. The first light guiding block is located between the passivation layer and the display panel. The first light adjusting layer is disposed on the second light guiding block and located on the upper surface or the lower surface. There is a first rough interface between the first light adjusting layer and the light guide plate.

  • Patent number: 8550686
    Abstract: A display panel and a light source device used therein are provided. The display panel includes a light-guide thin-film circuit substrate, a light source and a polarizing layer. The light-guide thin-film circuit substrate has a light entrance end and a light exit top surface, and the light source is disposed corresponding to the light entrance end. The polarizing layer is disposed on the light-guide thin-film circuit substrate and parallels the light exit top surface of the light-guide thin-film circuit substrate. The light produced by the light source enters the circuit substrate through the light entrance end, guided and transmitted through the circuit substrate, and then leaves the circuit substrate through the light exit top surface and enters the polarizing layer. The light after passing through the polarizing layer is turned into a polarized light having flat light source effect as a backlight source for the system.

  • Publication number: 20090231831
    Abstract: The invention is related to a flat panel display and a backlight module thereof. The backlight module comprises a light source and a plurality of wavelength converters. The light source formed by some arranged luminous elements would radially emit light with an optical wavelength individually. These wavelength converters are near the light source and convert the light with the wavelength. The converted light with another wavelength is radially emitted, in which a portion of the converted light with another wavelength is emitted outward directly from the wavelength converter, while the other portion thereof is emitted from the wavelength converter toward the other wavelength converters.
