  • Patent number: 9568660
    Abstract: A 3D display device comprises display panel, light-guiding plate and light-emitting unit. The display panel comprises a plurality of sub-pixels with a first short-side width. The light-guiding plate comprises first flat surface, second flat surface, light input surface, and a plurality of light-guiding elements disposed at first flat surface or second flat surface. The light-emitting unit is disposed adjacent to the light input surface. Each light-guiding element comprises a curve shape with at least one inflection point, and a shift range of the curve shape is greater than zero and less than or equal to one and a half times the first short-side width. Light enters light-guiding plate and guided by light-guiding elements, and light is outputted in an alternating arrangement of at least one bright zone and at least one dark zone. A 3D display apparatus is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20160085019
    Abstract: A light-emitting module includes a light-guiding plate, a plurality of light-guiding elements and a light-emitting unit. The light-guiding plate can guide the direction of light, and has at least a light input surface and two opposite flat surfaces. The light-guiding elements are disposed at one of the surfaces of the light-guiding plate. By viewing along a direction perpendicular to the surfaces, the shape of each of the light-guiding elements is curve shape with at least one inflection point. The light-emitting unit is disposed adjacent to the light input surface of the light-guiding plate. The light emitted by the light-emitting unit enters the light-guiding plate, is guided by the light-guiding plate and the light-guiding elements, and is outputted through one of the surfaces of the light-guiding plate in an alternating arrangement of bright and dark zones. The invention also discloses a display apparatus and the light-guiding plate.

  • Publication number: 20140104880
    Abstract: A light-emitting module comprises a light-guiding plate, a plurality of light-guiding elements and a light-emitting unit. The light-guiding plate guides the direction of the light and includes at least a light input surface and two opposite side surfaces. The light-guiding elements e disposed on one of the side surfaces of the light-guiding plate, and disposed corresponding to pixels respectively. The overlooking area of each light-guiding element is larger than zero and less than that of the pixel corresponding to the light-guiding element, by viewing along a direction perpendicular to the side surface. The light-emitting unit is disposed on the light input surface. The light emitted by the light-emitting unit enters the light-guiding plate, and then, by the guiding of the light-guiding plate and the light-guiding elements, is outputted through one of the side surfaces of the light-guiding plate in an alternate form of bright and dark zones.

  • Publication number: 20140104876
    Abstract: A light-emitting module comprises a light-guiding plate, a plurality of light-guiding elements and a light-emitting unit. The light-guiding plate guides the light direction and has at least an incident surface and two opposite surfaces. The light-guiding elements are disposed on one of the surfaces of the light-guiding plate, and each include a rough surface having a maximum roughness larger than zero micron and less than or equal to 20 microns. The light-emitting unit is disposed to the incident surface of the light-guiding plate. The light emitted by the light-emitting unit is applied to the light-guiding plate, and then, by the guiding of the light-guiding plate and the light-guiding elements, is outputted through one of the surfaces of the light-guiding plate in an alternate form of bright and dark zones. The invention also discloses a light-guiding plate and a display apparatus.
