  • Publication number: 20190361165
    Abstract: A light guide plate with multi-directional structures includes a main body, a plurality of first microstructures and a plurality of second microstructures. The main body includes a light-incident surface, a light-emitting surface and a reflecting surface. The light-incident surface connects the light-emitting surface and the reflecting surface. The first microstructures are disposed on the light-emitting surface or the reflecting surface and arranged along a first extending direction. The second microstructures are disposed on the light-emitting surface or the reflecting surface and arranged along a second extending direction. The second microstructures and the first microstructures are disposed on the same plane and intersect with each other. Each of the second microstructures is a single stripe pattern, and has a width which becomes gradually smaller from one end of the second microstructure near the light-incident surface to the other end of the second microstructure away from the light-incident surface.

  • Patent number: 9442242
    Abstract: A backlight module and a liquid crystal display are described. The backlight module includes a light guide plate, a light source and a prism sheet. The light guide plate includes a light-emitting surface, a light-incident surface and an axis. The light-incident surface is connected to the light-emitting surface. The axis is normal to the light-incident surface. The light source emits light towards the light-incident surface. The prism sheet is disposed on the light guide plate and includes a first optical surface and a plurality of prism structures which are disposed on the first optical surface. Each of the prism structures has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface and the second surface are connected to form a ridge. The ridge is vertical to the light-incident surface, or an angle included between the ridge and the axis is smaller than or equal to 20 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20150346414
    Abstract: A light guide plate and a light source module are provided. Light guide plate includes a main body and microstructures disposed on the main body. The main body includes a light-incident surface and a light-emitting surface. Each of the microstructures includes a first optical surface, a second optical surface, a third optical surface and a fourth optical surface. The first optical surface and the second optical surface are inclined in relation to the light-incident surface. A first angle is included between the first optical surface and the light-emitting surface. A second angle is included between the second optical surface and the light-emitting surface. The third optical surface and the fourth optical surface connect the first optical surface and the second optical surface. A third angle is included between the third optical surface and the light-emitting surface. A fourth angle is included between the fourth optical surface and the light-emitting surface.
