  • Publication number: 20210341667
    Abstract: A lighting module includes a circuit board, a light emitting diode, a light guide plate, and a waterproof adhesive. The circuit board has an insulating layer, a metal layer, and a circuit layer. The insulating layer is interposed between the metal layer and the circuit layer. The metal layer has an opening exposing a portion of the insulating layer. The light emitting diode has a light emitting surface and a non-light emitting surface facing the metal layer. The light guide plate is parallel or substantially parallel to the circuit board and is adjacent to the light emitting surface of the light emitting diode. An optical axis of the light emitting diode coincides with or substantially coincides with a symmetry axis of the light guide plate. The portion of the insulating layer is adhered to the light guide plate through the waterproof adhesive.

  • Patent number: 10670257
    Abstract: A waterproof light emitting module includes a circuit board, a light emitting diode, a light guide plate, first, second, and third waterproof layers. The light emitting diode is over the circuit board and has a light emitting surface, and first and second non-light emitting surfaces. The light emitting surface is opposite to the first non-light emitting surface. The second non-light emitting surface is between the light emitting surface and the first non-light emitting surface. A center of the light guide plate is substantially aligned with a center of the light emitting diode along a direction perpendicular to the light emitting surface. The light emitting diode is between the first waterproof layer and the light guide plate. The second waterproof layer covers the second non-light emitting surface. The third waterproof layer is between the second waterproof layer and the light guide plate.

  • Patent number: 9612388
    Abstract: A front light guide includes a light guide plate, a light source, a functional material layer and a first adhesive layer. The light guide plate has a side surface, a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The light guide plate has a first refractive index. The light source faces the side surface and configured to emit light into the light guide plate. The functional material layer is disposed at a side adjacent to the first surface, and has a third refractive index. The first adhesive layer is interposed between the light guide plate and the functional material layer so as to adhere the light guide plate with the functional material layer. The first adhesive layer has a second refractive index. The first refractive index is greater than the second refractive index, and the second refractive index is greater than the third refractive index.
