AI Technical Summary
In Mini LED backlights, some light rays are emitted from the side surface of the light guide plate, resulting in brightness loss. Existing technologies cannot effectively utilize this light, leading to a waste of light energy.
Several convex lens grooves are set on the light-incident surface of the light guide plate, which are used to cover the Mini LED one by one. The light is refracted through the convex lens grooves, reducing the angle of the light and preventing the light from entering the side surface. Combined with the reflective coating and the convex structure, the light utilization rate is improved.
It significantly improves the brightness and brightness uniformity of the backlight surface, effectively utilizes the light emitted by Mini LED, and reduces light energy loss.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the first embodiment of the present application provides a light guide plate 10, which is used as a light expansion component of Mini LED backlight 1, and is arranged above the Mini LED light plate. The light emitted by a plurality of Mini LED 30 is diffused and then enters the optical film. In view of the problem that part of the light of the light guide plate 10 of the Mini LED backlight 1 in the prior art is lost through the side peripheral surface 113, causing the brightness loss of the backlight, a light guide plate 10 is provided, which comprises a light guide body 11 and a plurality of convex lens grooves 12. The light guide body 11 has an opposite light entrance surface 111 and a light exit surface 112, and a side peripheral surface 113 connected to the light entrance surface 111 and the light exit surface 112. A plurality of convex lens grooves 12 are provided on the light entrance surface 111, and a plurality of convex lens grooves 12 are used to cover the Mini LED one by one.
[0038] It can be understood that the light guide plate 10 provided in the present application is provided with a plurality of convex lens grooves 12 corresponding to the Mini LED 30 on the light entrance surface 111 of the light guide body 11, so that the scattered light emitted by the Mini LED is refracted by the convex lens grooves 12, the angle of the light is reduced, the light is emitted vertically to the backlight, and the light emitted by the Mini LED can be effectively utilized, and the brightness of the backlight surface is greatly improved.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the light entrance surface 111 has a edge region 114 connected with the side peripheral surface 113, and a middle region 115 inside the edge region 114; the plurality of convex lens grooves 12 include a plurality of first convex lens grooves 121 and a plurality of second convex lens grooves 122; a plurality of the first convex lens grooves 121 are arranged in the edge region 114, a plurality of the second convex lens grooves 122 are arranged in the middle region 115, and the curvature radius of a plurality of the first convex lens grooves 121 is smaller than the curvature radius of a plurality of the second convex lens grooves 122.
[0040] It can be understood that by controlling the curvature radius of a plurality of the first convex lens grooves 121 in the edge region 114 to be smaller than the curvature radius of a plurality of the second convex lens grooves 122, the edge light is quickly concentrated to the middle region 115 by a plurality of the first convex lens grooves 121, so that the scattered light can be greatly refracted when passing through a plurality of the first convex lens grooves 121, concentrated to the middle region 115, avoiding the light from the side peripheral surface, and ensuring the brightness of the backlight.
[0041] In some embodiments, the curvature radius of a plurality of the first convex lens grooves 121 is set to 2mm-5mm; the curvature radius of a plurality of the second convex lens grooves 122 is set to 5mm-10mm; and the curvature radius of a plurality of the first convex lens grooves 121 is smaller than the curvature radius of a plurality of the second convex lens grooves 122. In this way, the edge light is quickly concentrated to the middle region 115 by a plurality of the first convex lens grooves 121, so that the scattered light can be greatly refracted when passing through a plurality of the first convex lens grooves 121, concentrated to the middle region 115, avoiding the light from the side peripheral surface, and ensuring the brightness of the backlight.
[0042] In some embodiments, the distribution density of the first convex lens grooves 121 is less than the distribution density of the second convex lens grooves 122, so that the middle area 115 is distributed with more Mini LEDs, and the edge area 114 close to the side surface 113 is distributed with less Mini LEDs, further avoiding the light emitted by the Mini LEDs from being emitted from the side surface 113, and ensuring the brightness of the backlight source.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the light emitting surface 112 is provided with a plurality of convex structures 116 corresponding to the area of the middle area 115 in the height direction. In this way, when the light of the middle area 115 is emitted, part of the light is emitted to the area of the optical film above the edge area 114, which ensures the brightness and uniformity of the backlight source.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the side surface 113 is coated with a light reflecting coating 117, so that the light emitted to the side surface 113 is re-emitted into the light guide body 11 through the light reflecting coating 117, avoiding the loss of light and ensuring the brightness of the backlight source.
[0045] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 The second embodiment of the present application also provides a Mini LED backlight source 1, which comprises the light guide plate 10 as described in the first embodiment of the present application, so as to ensure that the Mini LED backlight source 1 has sufficient brightness. For details, please refer to the above-mentioned first embodiment of the present application.
[0046] In some embodiments, the Mini LED backlight source 1 further comprises a rubber frame 20, and the rubber frame 20 has an inner side surface 113 coated with a rubber frame light reflecting layer 21 corresponding to the area of the side surface 113. In this way, the light emitted from the side surface 113 of the light guide plate 10 is re-reflected onto the light guide plate 10 or the optical film, ensuring the brightness of the Mini LED backlight source 1.
[0047] The third embodiment of the present application also provides a display device, which comprises the Mini LED backlight source 1 as described in the second embodiment of the present application, so as to ensure that the display device has sufficient brightness.
[0048] The fourth embodiment of the present application also provides a mobile terminal, which comprises the Mini LED backlight source 1 as described in the second embodiment of the present application, so as to ensure that the mobile terminal has sufficient brightness.
[0049] In summary, the application provides a light guide plate, a Mini LED backlight, a display device and a mobile terminal. The light guide plate comprises: a light guide body having an incident light surface and an exit light surface arranged oppositely, and a side peripheral surface connected to the incident light surface and the exit light surface; and a plurality of convex lens grooves, the plurality of convex lens grooves being arranged on the incident light surface and corresponding to the Mini LED.
