  • Publication number: 20070147092
    Abstract: An exemplary backlight module includes a light guide plate (12), an illuminator (14), and a frame (16) receiving the light guide plate and the illuminator. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface (122) and has a cutout defined in a corner thereof at one end of the light incident surface. The illuminator is located adjacent to the light incident surface. The frame includes a stopper (166) engagingly received in the cutout such that the stopper blocks movement of the light guide plate toward the illuminator.

  • Publication number: 20060268578
    Abstract: An exemplary light guide plate (20) includes a transparent body (21) having a major surface (24) and a light diffusing structure (28) coated or embossed on the major surface of the transparent body. The light diffusing layer makes light beams emitting out from the light guide plate more uniform. Therefore the backlight module does not need a thick light diffusing plate. This means the backlight module is thin, assembly of the backlight module is simplified, and costs are reduced.

  • Publication number: 20060146574
    Abstract: A backlight module (5) includes a light guide plate (51) and a light source (52). The light guide plate includes a first light incident surface (510), a second light incident surface (512) adjacent the first light incident surface. The first light incident surface and the second light incident surface cooperatively define a first groove (54) therebetween. The light source is disposed in the first groove. With this configuration, there is no need for additional space for the light source beyond an end of the light guide plate. Thus an overall length of the backlight module is shortened. Furthermore, a top end (533) of the reflector can be disposed in a second groove (59) defined between two adjacent side surfaces at the end of the light guide plate. Thus an overall height of the backlight module is shortened. The reduced overall length and height of the backlight module makes it compact.
