  • Patent number: 11686973
    Abstract: An optical film includes a substrate layer and a plurality of optical layers stacked on the substrate layer. The at least two optical layers have microstructures that complement to each other. The optical layer close to the substrate layer is the first optical layer, and the optical far from the substrate layer is the second optical layer. The refractive index of the first optical layer is smaller than the second optical layer, and the microstructure of the second optical layer has an acute angle. Because of the arrangement of the optical layers, the contrast of light intensity can be reduced, and the uniformity can be improved. The invention also provides a backlight module and a display device including the optical film.

  • Patent number: 10989389
    Abstract: A light-adjusting film is mounted between a color conversion layer and a display panel of a direct type backlight module and has a substrate and at least one light-adjusting layer. The substrate has a central area and a surrounding area. The at least one light-adjusting layer has a pigment and is mounted on the substrate. A content of the pigment is gradually decreased from the surrounding area to the central area. The color of the pigment of the light-adjusting film is a correction color of lights emitted from light emitting surface of the color conversion layer in the backlight module.

  • Patent number: 10620358
    Abstract: A light guide film which is adapted for use with a light source has a light transmissive substrate and a light-transmissive member unit. The substrate has a light-exiting top surface, a bottom surface that is opposite to the top surface and a lateral surface that interconnects the top and bottom surfaces and that is adapted to face toward the light source. The member unit includes a bottom member that is disposed on the bottom surface of the substrate, and a lateral member that is connected to the lateral surface of the substrate and that is adapted to be disposed between the light source and the lateral surface of the substrate. The substrate has a refractive index which is less than that of the member unit.

  • Patent number: 10007046
    Abstract: A light guide film for use with a light source includes a light-transmissive substrate and a light-transmissive layer. The substrate includes a top surface, and a light-incident lateral surface adapted to be disposed adjacent to the light source. The layer is disposed on the top surface of the substrate and has a light-incident lateral surface aligned with the light-incident lateral surface of the substrate. The light-transmissive layer has an inclined surface that is opposite to the substrate and that extends away from the light-incident lateral surface of the layer and obliquely toward the top surface of the substrate. The layer has a refractive index different from that of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 9575237
    Abstract: A light guide element and a light source device using the same are provided. The light guide element has a main body. The main body has a hollow portion with a cone shape and a microstructure pattern formed on the main body. The cone-shaped hollow portion has a bottom portion and a top portion. The bottom portion is located on the bottom surface of the main body, and has a first hollow cross section area. The top portion is opposite to the bottom surface, and has a second cross section area smaller than the first cross section area. The microstructure pattern includes high-density areas and low-density areas to improve a light distribution caused by the cone-shaped hollow portion. The light source device includes the light guide element and a ht emitting diode (LED). The LED is used to emit light into the cone-shape hollow portion through the bottom portion.
