  • Patent number: 8047698
    Abstract: A light guide plate includes a light discharge surface, a light diffusing surface, a light incident surface, and a plurality of scattering dots. The light diffusing surface is located opposite to the light discharge surface. The light diffusing surface has a first part and a second part. The first part is adjacent to a light source. The light incident surface intersects with the light discharge surface and the light diffusing surface. The scattering dots within the first part are arranged in the form of a plurality of concentric arcs, and the scattering dots within the second part are arranged in the form of a plurality of lines.

  • Patent number: 7370999
    Abstract: An exemplary light guide plate (500) includes: a light incident portion (51) for receiving a light; a light reflecting portion (52) for reflecting the light input through the light incident portion; and a light emitting portion (53) opposite to the light reflecting portion, for outputting the reflected light. The light incident portion includes a first diffractive optical element (512) located thereat. The first diffractive optical element includes a plurality of protrusions (512a) each having a curved surface, with the protrusions being arranged symmetrically opposite to each other across a central axis of symmetry of the first diffractive optical element. The light emitting portion may include a second diffractive optical element (532) located thereat. The second diffractive optical element includes a plurality of elongate protrusions, with the protrusions being arranged symmetrically opposite to each other across a central axis of symmetry of the second diffractive optical element.

  • Publication number: 20070041701
    Abstract: A backlight system includes a light guide plate and a light source. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface, a reflective surface adjoining the light incident surface, and a light-emitting surface opposite to the reflective surface. The light guide plate further includes an upper layer and a lower layer under the upper layer. The upper layer includes a substrate portion, a light-emitting surface, a second surface, and a number of projections. The projections extend from the second surface. Each projection has a top extremity adjoining the substrate portion and a bottom face distal from the substrate portion. The lower layer includes a light incident surface, a top surface adjoining the light incident surface, and a reflective surface opposite to the top surface. The top surface of the lower layer abuts the bottom face of the projections.
