  • Patent number: 8382324
    Abstract: A radiation structure without a light guiding board for a backlight module or an illuminant device includes an optical plate formed with at least one rising area having a rising surface defined at the center thereof, two light sources disposed adjacent to two sides of the optical plate, and a diffusion plate. The light sources each possess a radiant half-intensity angle below 15 degrees for respectively forming optic axial directions thereof, allowing a radiation field to be diffusively formed from the pivoting of the optic axial directions. Whereby, the optic axial directions respectively face toward the rising surface, allowing the projection of the radiation field on the rising surface, and the diffusion plate is disposed above the rising area of the optical plate. Therefore, an even radiating surface caused by a diffusion of the light sources from the diffusion plate could be preferably obtained even if no light guiding board is applied.
