  • Publication number: 20240126001
    Abstract: A switchable backlight module is disclosed. The switchable backlight module includes two light source modules arranged parallelly with respect to a plane. Each of the light source modules includes a turning film and a LGP. The LGP is of an edge-lit type arranged parallelly under the turning film. A light ray enters the LGP from a light incident side of the LGP, exits the LGP from a light emergent surface of the LGP, enters the turning film, and exits the turning film from a surface of the turning film away from the LGP. The light incident side of the LGP of one of the light source modules is perpendicular to the light incident side of the LGP of the other light source module. The switchable backlight module is in an anti-peeping mode having a narrow viewing angle when only an upper one of the light source modules emits light.
