  • Patent number: 7478940
    Abstract: A backlight module includes a lamp tube, a light guide plate and a light guide unit. The light guide plate has a light incident side. The light guide unit is in contact with the light incident side of the light guide plate. The light guide unit and the light incident side cooperatively form a receiving tunnel. The lamp tube is disposed in the receiving tunnel. The light guide unit is detachable from the light guide plate. Another backlight module is also provided. The present backlight module can be assembled conveniently and quickly, and has a relatively high light energy utilization rate.

  • Publication number: 20080219026
    Abstract: An exemplary light guide plate includes a light output surface, a light reflective surface opposite to the light output surface, a light input surface interconnecting with the light output surface and the light reflective surface, and a plurality of microstructures formed on the light reflective surface. Each of the microstructures defines a specular reflection surface and a diffuse reflection surface. External light enters the light guide plate via the light input surface, a part of light rays undergo specular reflection at the specular reflection surfaces of the microstructures, and other parts of light rays undergo diffuse reflection at the diffuse reflection surfaces of the microstructures. A backlight module using the light guide plate can have a good optical performance.

  • Publication number: 20080158887
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) includes a heat sink (10) having a cross section along an axial direction thereof being U-shaped. The heat sink includes a substrate (102) and a sidewall (11) extending from an outer periphery of the substrate. A circuit board (40) is received in the heat sink and arranged on the substrate. At least one LED (30) is arranged on and electrically connected to the circuit board and thermally connected with the substrate of the heat sink. A plurality of fins (100) extend outwardly from an outer surface (110) of the sidewall of the heat sink. Each fin has a plurality of branches (100a, 100b) being connected together at the outer surface of the sidewall and being spaced from each other at outer-peripheries thereof.

  • Patent number: 7347612
    Abstract: A backlight module 200 is provided, which includes a light guide plate 22 and a nonspecular reflective device 28, 34. The light guide plate 22 has a light-incident surface 221, a light-emitting surface 223, and a bottom surface 222 opposite to the light-emitting surface 223. The nonspecular reflective device 28, 34 arranged on and within an elongate section of the bottom surface 222. The elongate section of the bottom surface 222 is proximate to or adjacent the light-incident surface 221 of the light guide plate 22. The backlight module 200 can also include a light source 21 and a reflective plate 23. The light source 21 is disposed facing the light-incident surface 221, and the reflective plate 23 is disposed below the bottom surface 222.
