  • Patent number: 9625635
    Abstract: A light source includes a light emitter configured to emit light, and a light guiding member located at a side of the light emitter. The light guiding member includes a first light entering face, a first light exiting face and a top face connecting the first light entering face and the first light exiting face. The first light entering face is coupled to the light emitter. The first light entering face is opposite to the first light exiting face. The first light entering face has a height larger than that of the first light exiting face. The top face includes a first connecting face and a second connecting face extending from an angle relative to the first connecting face. The light guiding member is configured to receive the light from the light emitter via the first light entering face and output the light via the first light exiting face.

  • Publication number: 20130321743
    Abstract: A backlight module includes a light guide plate and a light source. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface, a bottom surface adjacent to the light incident surface, and a light emitting surface opposite to the bottom surface. The light source is positioned adjacent to the light incident surface, and includes a reflective block and a first point light source. The reflective block includes a first reflective surface facing the light incident surface. An air gap is defined between the first reflective surface and the light incident surface. The first reflective surface includes a first end and a second end. A distance between the first reflective surface and the light incident surface increases gradually along a direction from the first end to the second end.
