  • Publication number: 20150268411
    Abstract: A frame structure and a backlight module are provided. The frame structure includes a frame body and a reflecting structure. The frame structure includes a frame body and a reflecting structure. The reflecting structure is disposed inside the frame body. The reflecting structure includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is connected to the frame body. The second portion has elasticity and is elastically separated from the frame body.

  • Publication number: 20140321163
    Abstract: A light guide device includes a light guide plate and a reflector. The light guide plate includes a light transmissive body with opposite first and second surfaces, and a plurality of first and second light guide structures extending along a first direction. The first light guide structures are disposed on the first surface, and the second light guide structures are disposed on the second surface. The reflector includes a reflector body and a plurality of reflecting structures formed on the reflector body and extending along a second direction. The first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. The reflecting structures are formed on one side of the reflector body facing the first surface.

  • Patent number: 7568828
    Abstract: A light guide plate includes a light incidence surface, a light reflection surface, and a light emission surface. The light reflection surface forms a plurality of light-guiding structures extending in a direction substantially parallel to a light source. The light reflection surface has an edge margin section adjacent to the light incidence surface and having opposite end zones each containing auxiliary light-guiding structures that extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the light source and has an irregular V-shaped cross-section defined by a long inclined side, which faces endwise, and a short inclined side. The auxiliary light-guiding structures are distributed from a densest condition at each end portion toward a sparsest condition at a middle portion of the edge margin section. The long side helps to redirect a greater amount of light to a desired light emission direction thereby enhancing uniformity of light emission of the light guide plate.

  • Publication number: 20090129120
    Abstract: A light guide plate includes a light incidence surface, a light reflection surface, and a light emission surface. The light emission surface forms a plurality of light-guiding structures, which are extended in a direction substantially perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of a light source. The light-guiding structures have a substantially V-shaped cross-section and, among the light-guiding structures, those arranged in opposite endwise zones of the light emission surface in the lengthwise direction have an irregular V-shaped cross-section defined by a long inclined side, which faces endwise, and a short inclined side. The long and short sides respectively form first and second inclined angles with respect to the light emission surface and the first included angle is smaller than the second included angle and the first inclined angle gets smaller with the associated light-guiding structure located closer to the lengthwise end.
