    Abstract: A light trapping optical cover employing an optically transparent layer with a plurality of light deflecting elements. The transparent layer is configured for an unimpeded light passage through its body and has a broad light input surface and an opposing broad light output surface. The light deflecting elements deflect light incident into the transparent layer at a sufficiently high bend angle with respect to a surface normal and direct the deflected light toward a light harvesting device adjacent to the light output surface. The deflected light is retained by means of at least TIR in the system formed by the optical cover and the light harvesting device which allows for longer light propagation paths through the photoabsorptive layer of the device and for an improved light absorption. The optical cover may further employ a focusing array of light collectors being pairwise associated with the respective light deflecting elements.

  • Patent number: 7982815
    Abstract: In a backlight device, a diffuser plate and a plurality of optical sheets are disposed above a base tray that includes a plurality of cold-cathode tubes therein. The diffuser plate is sandwiched in between a base member, which holds the bottom surface thereof, and a facing portion of an inner frame disposed on the top surface side thereof. A holding protrusion is arranged on the facing portion so as to abut on an exposed portion located on the periphery of the diffuser plate. According to this construction, even when the backlight device is used in an upright orientation, the diffuser plate can be prevented from leaning forward, and thereby pressure applied on the optical sheets can be prevented.
