Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of displays, and more particularly to a light guide plate with a light entrance hole structure. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the mainstream applications of LED backlights for display devices are edge-lit and direct-lit backlights. Direct-lit backlights utilize LED light strips paired with optical lenses. While their advantage is more uniform image quality, their disadvantage is the need to distribute LED light bulbs across the entire display screen, resulting in relatively high costs and the inability to achieve a thinner design. Edge-lit backlights utilize LED light strips paired with a light guide plate. Their advantage is that they only require LED light strips on the side of the display, reducing the overall thickness of the screen and making the display thinner. Their disadvantage is lower image uniformity.
[0003] Therefore, how to provide a light guide plate with a light hole structure that is low in cost and has uniform image quality is an urgent problem that those skilled in the art need to solve. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a light guide plate with a light entrance hole structure. The light source emitted by the LED lamp beads is diverged through the light entrance hole and the light guide protrusions, which can significantly improve the uniformity of image quality, reduce the number of LED lamp beads, and reduce costs.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A light guide plate with a light entrance hole structure includes: a light guide plate body; at least one side of the light guide plate body is a light entrance surface; a plurality of light entrance holes are opened on the light entrance surface; the light entrance holes are used to accommodate LED lamp beads; and the surface of the light guide plate body has a plurality of light guide bumps.
[0007] Preferably, in the above-mentioned light guide plate containing a light hole structure, the material of the light guide plate body is glass or optical grade acrylic.
[0008] Preferably, in the above-mentioned light guide plate having a light entrance hole structure, the light entrance hole is an ellipsoidal hole.
[0009] Preferably, in the above-mentioned light guide plate with a light entrance hole structure, a plurality of corrugated circle structures are provided on the inner wall of the light entrance hole in a circumferential direction.
[0010] Preferably, in the above-mentioned light guide plate including the light incident hole structure, the corrugated circular structure is recessed into the inner wall of the light incident hole.
[0011] Preferably, in the above-mentioned light guide plate containing a light entrance hole structure, the light guide protrusion is a spherical structure with a diameter of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.
[0012] Preferably, in the above-mentioned light guide plate containing a light hole structure, the light guide protrusions and the light guide plate body are an integrated structure.
[0013] Preferably, in the above-mentioned light guide plate containing a light entrance hole structure, the thickness of the light guide plate body is ≥2 mm.
[0014] Preferably, in the above-mentioned light guide plate having a light entrance hole structure, the diameter of the light entrance hole is less than or equal to 4 / 5 of the thickness of the light guide plate body.
[0015] Preferably, the above-mentioned light guide plate containing a light hole structure further includes reflective paper; the reflective paper is adapted to the shape of the light guide plate body and is attached to the end of the light guide protrusion away from the light guide plate body.
[0016] It can be seen from the above technical solution that compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a light guide plate with a light entrance hole structure. In the backlight module application, low-power LED lamp beads can be replaced with high-power LED lamp beads, and the LED lamp beads are installed in the light entrance hole. The light source emitted by the LED lamp beads is diverged to the light guide bump through the light entrance hole. The light is diffused and transmitted to various angles through the spherical surface of the light guide bump, and is reflected by the reflective paper to finally form a uniform light source, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the image quality of the display panel, and can greatly reduce the number of LED lamp beads installed, save costs, and make the display device lighter and thinner.
