Abstract: A liquid crystal display (2) includes a liquid crystal panel (29); a backlight module (20) providing light beams to the liquid crystal panel. The backlight module includes a light guide plate (23) having at least one light incident surface (231), and a light emitting surface (232) adjoining the at least one light incident surface; at least one light source (21) disposed adjacent to the at least one light incident surface; a prism sheet (25) disposed at the light emitting surface for converging light beams; and a first diffuser (26) disposed at the prism sheet for scattering the light beams therethrough. A haze ratio of the first diffuser changes according to the brightness differentia over a brightness distribution of the prism sheet for attaining a substantially uniform surface light beams output.

Abstract: An exemplary backlight module includes a frame (16) and a light guide plate (14) positioned in the frame. The frame defines a notch (164), which notch is bounded by a wall of the frame. The light guide plate includes a side surface (141), and an ear (144) extending from the side surface. The ear is received in the notch. A first protrusion (165) protrudes from either the wall of the notch or the ear and contacts the corresponding ear or wall of the notch.

Abstract: An exemplary backlight module includes a light guide plate, and a light source positioned for illuminating the light guide plate. The light source includes a plurality of LED units, and each LED unit includes a red LED, two green LEDs, and a blue LED. Each red, green, and blue LED has a center. In each LED unit, the centers of the red LED and the blue LED are at two opposite sides respectively of an imaginary line defined between the centers of the green LEDs.

Abstract: An exemplary backlight module (40) includes a number of point light sources (43) and a light-mixing member (47). The number of point light sources emit light beams of different colors. The light-mixing member mixes the light beams of different colors into white light beams. The light-mixing member includes a light entrance surface (470) opposite to the light sources. The light entrance surface includes a number of recesses (471). The recesses correspond to the number of point light sources. The backlight module has high efficiency of light mixing.

Abstract: An automatic cooker includes a lid, a body, a control system, a heating tube, and a heating plate. The lid and the control system are mounted at a top of the body. The heating tube is configured to have a frame-shape and is substantially horizontally provided within an oven chamber of the body at a lower portion thereof, and the heating plate is mounted within the oven chamber at the bottom thereof. The automatic cooker of the present invention is multifunctional, has a stable and simple structure, and can be used to knead breadstuff, steam, fry, cook, stew, boil, or bake food.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solar powered lamp adopting a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp and an auxiliary startup device which can improve the efficiency of the voltaic-photo transformation when lighting the cold-cathode fluorescent lamp. The device comprises a direct current power unit, a DC/AC inverter circuit for generating a high voltage alternating current from the DC voltage to light a CCFL; and an auxiliary startup circuit disposed between the DC power supply unit and the DC/AC inverter circuit for generating across the input terminals of the DC/AC inverter circuit a voltage of about twice of the DC voltage output from the DC power supply unit.
