Abstract: An optical element includes a waveguide substrate, first and second optical film structures, and a sub-wavelength nanostructure. The waveguide substrate has first and second sides, a light entering surface and a light exiting surface. An image beam can enter the interior of the waveguide substrate through the light entering surface and travel in a manner of total internal reflection. The image beam exits the waveguide substrate via the light exiting surface after one or more reflections. The first and second optical film structures are respectively arranged on the first and second sides. The sub-wavelength nanostructure arranged on the first side can receive and diffract the image beam to couple the image beam to the waveguide substrate. The first and second optical film structures can reflect the part of the image beam at the incident angle smaller than the critical angle of the waveguide substrate.

When an incident light enters the light guide body, a first and a second mesh patterns are respectively formed on the first and second light-emitting surfaces.

A backlight module according to the present invention mainly contains a frame structure, a reflection plate, a light guide plate, optical films, and a light source unit. The frame structure contains a plate member and a frame member. There are a number of hook elements and clasp elements configured at corresponding locations along the edges of the plate member and the frame member respectively. Also along the edges of the plate member and frame member, there are a number of grooves and stopping blades configured at corresponding locations on the plate member and frame member respectively. When the frame member is joined to the plate member, their corresponding clasp elements and hook elements would interact to fixedly join together, and the stopping blades would stick into the corresponding grooves to prevent the frame member from deformation and escape under heavy pressure or strong impact.
