Abstract: A method for forming an optical element includes: preparing an optical substrate; coating a curable resin on the optical substrate so as to form a curable resin layer on the optical substrate; embossing the curable resin layer so as to form a plurality of adjoining pointed micro-protrusions, each of which has a tip end; heating the pointed micro-protrusions of the curable resin layer in such a manner that the tip end of each of the pointed micro-protrusions is softened and is spread over the remainder of the respective one of the pointed micro-protrusions so as to form the adjoining pointed micro-protrusions into adjoining rounded micro-protrusions which cooperatively form a continuous curved surface; and curing the curable resin layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-UV reflector for distributing a light from a point light source or a linear light uniformly over a target. The anti-UV reflector mainly includes a light reflecting polymeric substrate and a protecting layer of anti-UV material provided on the polycarbonate substrate for reducing yellowing in the polycarbonate substrate. When a light from a point light source or a linear light illuminates the anti-UV reflector, UV radiation in the light is filtered or absorbed by the protecting layer thereby reducing yellowing in the polyearbonate substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a diffusion plate used in a direct-type backlight module and a method for making the same. At least one of the surfaces of the diffusion plate has a microstructure constituted by repeated undulation that can refract and diffuse the incident light beams that enter the diffusion plate. Therefore, the paths of the light beams after entering the diffusion plate are changed, which raises the luminance of the backlight module.

Abstract: A method for making an optical element includes the steps of: coating a curable resin on a substrate so as to form a curable resin layer on the substrate; embossing the curable resin layer so as to form a plurality of micro-protrusions thereon; and exposing the curable resin layer directly to a power source so as to cure the curable resin layer.

Abstract: A light diffuser plate includes: a diffuser film having a light incident surface and a light exit surface opposite to the light incident surface; a plurality of light-scattering particles dispersed in the diffuser film; and a light-enhancing film formed on the light exit surface of the diffuser film and having a light emerging surface opposite to the light exit surface and formed with a plurality of protrusions. The light exit surface of the diffuser film is uneven.

Abstract: A light diffuser plate includes an optical matrix having opposite first and second ends that are opposite to each other in a first direction, alight incident surface, and a light exit surface opposite to the light incident surface in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The optical matrix is formed with a plurality of elongate holes, each of which extends through the first and second ends and each of which has a cross-section transverse to the length thereof. The cross-section of each of the holes has a periphery that has at least a curved segment which extends curvedly.
