  • Publication number: 20130050989
    Abstract: A backlight module and a display device including the backlight module are provided. The backlight module includes a reflective plate and a plurality of light sources, wherein the reflective plate has a reflective surface and the light sources are disposed on the reflective surface generating light in a direction away from the reflective surface. The reflecting surface includes a plurality of low reflection portions, wherein the reflectivity of the low reflection portion is lower than the reflectivity of other positions on the reflective surface. The low reflection portions are disposed between the light source and adjacent light sources.

  • Publication number: 20120147625
    Abstract: A light source module and a backlight module therewith are disclosed. The light source include includes a circuit board and a light-emitting diode disposed on the circuit board. The light-emitting diode includes a package unit and a conductive support. The package unit includes an insulation housing, a heat-dissipating support embedded in the insulation housing, and a light-emitting diode chip disposed on the heat-dissipating support and encapsulated by the insulation housing. The light-emitting diode chip includes two electrodes, which are isolated form the heat-dissipating support. The insulation housing thereon defines a light-out surface. The conductive support is disposed on an exterior side surface of the insulation housing and connected to the heat-dissipating support to protrude out the light-out surface.

  • Publication number: 20120081918
    Abstract: An edge-type backlight module includes a back bezel, a light guide plate (LGP), a light source, and a frame. The back bezel includes a supporting portion that has a light source supporting surface and an LGP supporting surface. A horizontal level of the light source supporting surface is lower than that of the LGP supporting surface. The LGP is configured on the LGP supporting surface and has a light-incident side surface and a top light-emitting surface. The light source is configured on the light source supporting surface to provide a light beam. The frame is configured on the back bezel and leans against the LGP. The frame has a reflective surface located on a transmission path of the light beam to reflect the light beam, and the reflected light beam enters the LGP from the light-incident side surface.

  • Publication number: 20120069598
    Abstract: An edge-type backlight module includes a light guide plate and at least one linear light source. The light guide plate has at least one light-incident sidewall, and the linear light source is substantially parallel to the light-incident sidewall. The linear light source includes a carrier and a plurality of solid-state light-emitting devices. The carrier is equally divided into a first, a second, a third, a fourth, and a fifth device mounting regions sequentially arranged along an extending direction of the carrier. The solid-state light-emitting devices are mounted on the device mounting regions and electrically connected to the carrier. An arrangement pitch of the solid-state light-emitting devices on the fourth device mounting region of the device mounting regions is greater than an arrangement pitch of the solid-state light-emitting devices on the other four device mounting regions.

  • Publication number: 20110205145
    Abstract: A backlight module comprises a light transmission member and a light emitting module. The light emitting module includes at least two circuit substrates and a plurality of light emitting units. Short sides of the circuit substrates are corresponding to each other. The light emitting units are disposed on the circuit substrates and face a light incident surface of the light transmission member. The illumination chromaticity of several light emitting units disposed on the circuit substrates and adjacent to each other, and the mixed illumination chromaticity of other light emitting units disposed on each circuit substrate are substantially the same, and all emits white light.
