Abstract: The present invention relates to a diffusion plate used in a direct-type backlight module and a method for making the same. At least one of the surfaces of the diffusion plate has a microstructure constituted by repeated undulation that can refract and diffuse the incident light beams that enter the diffusion plate. Therefore, the paths of the light beams after entering the diffusion plate are changed, which raises the luminance of the backlight module.

Abstract: A lens used for a light-emitting diode (LED) includes a body having an axis and a retaining part, wherein the body of the lens is symmetrical about the axis. The lens is mounted onto an LED and further includes a first lens part and a second lens part. When entering into the first lens part, light rays will be totally reflected through the first lens part and the light rays emitted from the first lens part will approximately parallel to the axis. When the light rays emitted from the first lens part enter into the second lens part, they will be totally reflected, and the light rays emitted from the second lens part will be approximately perpendicular to the axis. Thus, the lens has a structure that may control the emitting direction of light emitted from an LED.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for mixing light beams, which has at least one cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) layer disposed between a reflective plate and an upper plate so as to form two mixing areas. Because the cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) layer has a property of reflecting narrow band-circular polarized light, the light beams emitted from a plurality of light source are mixed in the two mixing areas. As a result, the height of the mixing area is reduced, and the color-mixing performance is raised.
