  • Publication number: 20240402412
    Abstract: A backlight module includes a light guide plate, a light source, an optical film, and first and second prism sheets. The light source and the optical film are respectively located on a light incident surface and a light exit surface of the light guide plate. The optical film includes a substrate and optical microstructures including first and second inclined surfaces and having an extending direction parallel to the light incident surface. There are respectively first and second base angles between the first and second inclined surfaces and a surface of the substrate. An angle range of the first and second base angles is 50 to 70 degrees. The first and second prism sheets t each have prism structures. An angle range of an included angle between extending directions of the optical microstructures and the prism structures is 85 to 95 degrees. A display device having the backlight module is proposed.

  • Publication number: 20240385363
    Abstract: A backlight module, including a light guide element, a light source, and first and second optical elements, is provided. The first optical element is disposed on a side of a light exit surface of the light guide element. The first optical element includes first prism structures, each including a first base angle and a second base angle away from the light incident surface relative to the first base angle. The first base angle is different from the second base angle. The second optical element is disposed on a side of the light exit surface. The first optical element is located between the light guide element and the second optical element. The second optical element includes second prism structures, each including a third base angle and a fourth base angle away from the light incident surface relative to the third base angle. A display device is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11988866
    Abstract: A light guide plate including a light emitting surface, a bottom surface, a light incident surface, multiple protrusion structures, and multiple grooves is provided. The light incident surface is connected between the light emitting surface and the bottom surface. The protrusion structures are disposed along a first direction and extend toward a second direction. The protrusion structures have a light condensing angle along the first direction, and the light condensing angle ranges from 10 degrees to 40 degrees. The grooves are disposed in the protrusion structures of the light guide plate. The grooves extend toward the first direction. The protrusion structures have a light receiving surface that defines each groove and is closer to the light incident surface. An angle between the light receiving surface and the bottom surface ranges from 35 degrees to 65 degrees. A display apparatus adopting the light guide plate is also provided.
