  • Patent number: 7729589
    Abstract: A mold frame contains a lamp shade and a light source, a light guide being erected at the open end and secured in place on one side of the lamp shade; streams of light from the light source entering into from one side of the light guide plate to project in the direction as expected; and a mask device being disposed on the mold frame at where close to the joint edge of the light guide plate so to weaken the reflection rate of the light that leaves the light guide plate, to reduce the interference of the light in the light guide plate, and to diminish the phenomenon of ripples.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080192504
    Abstract: A backlight module including light guide plate, light source disposed facing a light-in surface of the light guide plate, and optical film; both of bottom surface and light-out surface of the light guide plate being respectively disposed with a same type or two different types of a dimming structure to change traveling routes of streams of light emitted from the light source upon entering into the light guide plate through the dimming structure without developing bright-dark-bright bands so to achieve illumination uniformity performance of the light source.

  • Patent number: 7357560
    Abstract: A light guide plate locating construction includes a frame containing a mask and light tube with the light guide plate mounted at the open end of the mask; light permeating through one side of the light guide plate to project in the anticipated direction; locating holes being disposed at the top of the opening end of the mask; a retainer being inserted into the hole; the retainer including a locating portion and an interfering portion extending from the locating portion to the open end of the mask to hold against the edge of the light guide plate to protect the tube from being hit by the light guide plate.

  • Publication number: 20080019148
    Abstract: A light source installation in a backlight module to solve the problem of developing darker and brighter bands found with the prior art includes a light emitting diode module disposed on one edge of a light guide plate; the light emitting diode module is comprised of multiple light emitting diodes; and any two neighboring light emitting diodes are alternatively arranged in a zigzag fashion, or a crossing point of the beams emitted by any two neighboring light emitting diodes at their maximal angles falls on where between the light guide plant and the light emitting diode module.
