  • Patent number: 7204632
    Abstract: A light guide plate (32), which is made from a transparent plastic sheet, defines an emission surface (37) and a bottom surface (35) on a top end and a bottom end respectively. A number of arcuate recesses (34) are defined in the bottom end thereof. The arcuate recesses are parallel to each other, and adjacent arcuate recesses are separated each other a uniform predetermined distance. A surface lighting device (3) incorporating such light guide plate further includes a number of light sources (31) received in the arcuate recesses respectively, and a reflection board (31) arranged adjacent the bottom surface for reflecting light.

  • Patent number: 7039286
    Abstract: A light guide module (10) for use in a flat panel display (21) comprises a light guide pipe (20) having a light emitting surface (21), and a light incident surface (25) orthogonal to the light emitting surface. A light diffusion arrangement (30) is deployed over the light emitting surface and includes organic scattering balls (31) homogenously mixed within a bonding agent (33). At least a light source (60) is arranged adjacent the light incident surface to project light beams into the light guide module.

  • Patent number: 7014343
    Abstract: A light guide plate (10) includes a transparent plate (20), and a plurality of diffusing protrusions (30). The transparent plate includes an emitting surface (21), and a bottom surface (23) opposite to the emitting surface. The diffusing protrusions are distributed evenly on the emitting surface of the transparent plate, and are integrated with the transparent plate. The diffusing protrusions are hemispherical or sub-hemispherical, and a diameter of each diffusing protrusion is in the range from 10 ?m˜50 ?m. The light guide plate provides high emitting brightness and uniformity. The diffusing protrusions can diffuse light beams emitting from the emitting surface of the transparent plate, in order to achieve a plane light source having even brightness. The present Invention also discloses a method for fabricating the light guide plate.

  • Publication number: 20040130019
    Abstract: A light source system (2) includes a light guide plate (27), a plurality of LEDs (23), same amount of sealing blocks (25), same amount of fluorescent layers (24), same amount of conductive wirings (22), cathodes (21) and anodes (26). Each of the LED sealing blocks is disposed corresponding to one LED for fixing it from outside. Each pair of cathode and anode is connected to one of the LEDs through a conducted wiring to provide working current. Each of the fluorescent layers is disposed on the recesses respectively for converting the light emitted from the LEDs to fluorescence. The light source system is easy to manufacture and has a high efficiency of utilization of the LEDs.

  • Publication number: 20040114347
    Abstract: A light guide plate (10) includes a transparent plate (20), a plurality of diffusing protrusions (30) and a plurality of dots (40). The transparent plate includes an emitting surface (21), and a bottom surface (23) opposite to the emitting surface. The diffusing protrusions are distributed on the emitting surface of the transparent plate, and are integrated with the transparent plate. The dots are distributed on the bottom surface of the transparent plate. The light guide plate provides high emitting brightness and uniformity. The diffusing protrusions can diffuse light beams emitting from the emitting surface of the transparent plate, in order to achieve a plane light source having even brightness. Moreover, the dots on the bottom surface can scatter and reflect incident light beams, so as to totally eliminate internal reflection of light beams and make the light beams evenly emit from the emitting surface.
