[0026] In order to illustrate the technical scheme of the present application, the following will be described by specific embodiments.
[0027] EMBODIMENT
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1This embodiment provides an edge-lit LED backlight module, comprising an upper diffuser 1, an upper prism brightness enhancement film 2, a lower prism brightness enhancement film 3, a lower diffuser 4, a light guide plate 5, a reflective sheet 6, and an LED light source 7. The light guide plate 5 is disposed on the reflective sheet 6. A packaging structure 8 is provided on one side of the light guide plate 5. The packaging structure 8 defines a plurality of hemispherical cavities 9 arranged in a row and capable of accommodating the LED light sources 7. The LED light sources 7 are disposed in the hemispherical cavities 9. Light emitted by the LED light sources 7 is directed toward the light guide plate 5 through the top of the hemispherical cavities 9. An upwardly facing reflective slope 51 is provided on the other side of the light guide plate 5. The top surface area of the light guide plate 5 is larger than the bottom surface area. The reflective sheet 6 is adapted to the bottom surface of the light guide plate 5. The lower diffuser 4 is disposed on the light guide plate 5 and adapted to the top surface of the light guide plate 5. The lower prism brightness enhancement film 3 is disposed on the lower diffuser 4. The upper prism brightness enhancement film 2 is disposed on the lower prism brightness enhancement film 3. The upper diffuser 4 is disposed on the upper prism brightness enhancement film 2.
[0029] The encapsulation structure 8 is formed by encapsulating one side of the light guide plate 5 with epoxy resin or silicone. The hemispherical cavity 9 evenly diffuses the light energy emitted by the LED light source 7, thereby improving the uniformity of the light of the backlight module. The reflective bevel 51 on the other side of the light guide plate 5 reflects light from the other side of the light guide plate 5 toward the diffusion film and prismatic brightness enhancement film. This results in higher brightness than a flat design. Furthermore, the required volume of the light guide plate 5 and reflective sheet 6 is reduced, thereby reducing material costs.
[0030] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the lower diffusion film 4 is composed of a first transparent substrate 41, a first diffusion layer 42 provided on the bottom surface of the first transparent substrate 41, and a first protective coating layer 43 provided on the top surface of the first transparent substrate 41. The first diffusion layer 42 and the first protective coating layer 43 both contain first diffusion particles 44, which are PMMA particles. The content of the first diffusion particles 44 in the first diffusion layer 42 is higher than the content of the first diffusion particles 44 in the first protective coating layer 43.
[0031] Combine Figure 3 As shown, the upper diffusion film 1 is composed of a second transparent substrate 11, a second protective coating layer 12 provided on the bottom surface of the second transparent substrate 11, and a second diffusion layer 13 provided on the top surface of the second transparent substrate 11. The second protective coating layer 12 and the second diffusion layer 13 both contain second diffusion particles 14, which are PMMA particles. The content of the second diffusion particles 14 in the second diffusion layer 13 is higher than the content of the second diffusion particles 14 in the second protective coating layer 12.
[0032] With the addition of diffusion particles, the light-incoming surface and the light-outgoing surface of the backlight module have better light-reflecting capabilities, thereby helping to improve the uniformity and brightness of the light.
[0033] The lower prism brightness enhancement film 3 is composed of a first PET layer 31, a first prism layer 32 arranged on the top surface of the first PET layer 31 and a flat coating layer 33 with low refractive index arranged on the bottom surface of the first PET layer 31; the upper prism brightness enhancement film 2 is composed of a second PET layer 21, a second prism layer 22 arranged on the top surface of the second PET layer 21 and a haze layer 23 arranged on the bottom surface of the second PET layer 21. The arrangement of the two-layer prism brightness enhancement film helps to improve the brightness of the backlight module, and since the smaller the refractive index of the incident medium on the back surface of the brightness enhancement film, the smaller the interface reflection, the less the light loss, and the refractive index of the PET layer is 1.55, by adding a low-refractive flat coating layer 33 on the bottom surface of the first PET layer 31, thereby helping to reduce light loss, and the haze layer 23 on the bottom surface of the second PET layer 21 helps to improve the haze of the backlight module.
[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
