Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of backlight module technology, specifically to a backlight module that improves brightness and image quality. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern display technology, the backlight module is a key component of display devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and its performance directly determines the brightness, image quality, and overall visual effect of the display device. Traditional backlight modules mostly adopt a side-lit lamp strip design (also known as edge-lit backlight). This design arranges light sources on the side of the display panel and uses a light guide plate to evenly guide the light to the entire display area. However, the side-lit lamp strip solution has inherent limitations, especially in improving overall brightness and image quality, where it faces significant challenges.

[0003] Specifically, because the light source in a side-lit LED strip design is positioned to one side, the light undergoes multiple reflections and refractions during propagation, resulting in some light loss during transmission and thus relatively lower overall brightness. Furthermore, this design often struggles to achieve high brightness while maintaining a highly uniform backlight distribution, especially in large-size or high-resolution displays where insufficient brightness is particularly pronounced. Additionally, the side-lit LED strip design does not perform as well in terms of image quality as a direct-lit backlight design, which achieves a more uniform and delicate light distribution by placing numerous light sources directly behind the display panel, thus providing a superior image experience.

[0004] To improve the brightness of side-emitting LED strip solutions, the industry has attempted to enhance light reflection and focusing by adding high-cost top-mounted brightness enhancement films. However, this approach not only increases the manufacturing cost of the backlight module but may also negatively impact the overall thickness and weight of the module, hindering the design of thinner and lighter display devices. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a backlight module that improves brightness and image quality, and to solve the technical problem that the overall brightness of the side-lit backlight strip is low and the image quality is not as good as that of the direct-lit backlight.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A backlight module for improving brightness and image quality includes a main back plate. The upper perimeter of the main back plate has upward-facing protective folds. A backlight reflector is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the main back plate. A light guide plate is positioned above the backlight reflector. A light strip assembly is fixedly mounted inside the upper fold of the main back plate. Multiple optical films are positioned above the light guide plate. A supporting frame is positioned around the upper perimeter of each optical film. An LCD display screen is positioned above the supporting frame. A top cover frame covers the upper end of the LCD display screen and fits around the outer perimeter of the fold of the main back plate.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the upper cover frame is provided with a light-transmitting hole for a light-transmitting LCD display screen, and the outer periphery of the upper cover frame is provided with a vertically downward sliding enclosure that slides and fits against the folded edge of the main body back panel.

[0009] Preferably, the backlight reflector includes a reflector carrier disposed at the bottom, and the upper surface of the reflector carrier is provided with a reflective coating.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the reflective sheet carrier is provided with a rhombic micro-junction array, and the reflective coating covers the rhombic micro-junction array.

[0011] Preferably, the reflective coating is applied to the upper surface of the reflective substrate by chemical spraying or vacuum coating.

[0012] Preferably, the reflective coating includes a first auxiliary layer, a high-reflectivity silver layer, and a second auxiliary layer. The first auxiliary layer is located on the upper surface of the reflective substrate and is a NiCr-SiAl compound. The high-reflectivity silver layer is located above the first auxiliary layer and is a silver film with a purity ≥3N. The second auxiliary layer is disposed above the high-reflectivity silver layer and is a Cr-SiAl compound.

[0013] Preferably, the light strip assembly includes a light strip back plate that is attached to the inner side of the folded edge of the main body back plate, and a mounting base plate for locking and installing the light strip assembly is fixedly provided at the lower end of the light strip back plate. A plurality of LED beads are evenly installed on the light strip back plate.

[0014] Preferably, the optical film is one or more combinations of a brightness enhancement film, a diffusion film, or a composite film.

[0015] Preferably, the supporting frame is an L-shaped structural plate, with the vertical L-shaped structural plate attached to the inner wall of the folded edge of the main back plate, and the horizontal L-shaped structural plate pressed onto the upper end of the optical film.

[0016] Preferably, the light reflectivity of the backlight reflector is 98% or higher.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] (1) By adopting a high-reflection coating combined with a rhombus microstructure, the light efficiency of the backlight module is significantly improved. The high-reflection coating can effectively reflect light and reduce light loss during transmission; while the rhombus microstructure, through its unique geometry, further optimizes the light propagation path, enabling the light to be distributed more evenly and efficiently to the entire display area, reducing the problem of insufficient brightness in traditional edge-lit backlights, and eliminating the need to rely on high-cost brightness enhancement films.

[0019] (2) The reflective coating is achieved through chemical spraying or vacuum coating processes, which are mature and controllable; the multi-layer auxiliary layer design extends the life of the reflective sheet and reduces maintenance costs.

[0020] (3) The modular design of the supporting middle frame and the top cover frame is adapted to different sizes of LCD screens (70), while enhancing the impact resistance and dustproof performance. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A rhombic micro-junction array (22) is set on the surface of the reflective sheet, combined with a reflective coating 23, which increases the reflectivity to over 98% and reduces light energy loss. A high-reflectivity silver layer serves as the core reflective layer, supplemented by NiCr-SiAl and Cr-SiAl compound auxiliary layers to enhance adhesion, oxidation resistance, and light transmittance. The light emitted by the LED beads 43 in the light strip assembly 40 is evenly distributed through the light guide plate 30, and then further enhanced in brightness and eliminated in light spots by the optical film 50. The L-shaped design of the supporting frame 60 presses the optical film to prevent displacement. The upper cover frame 80 slides and fits against the main body back plate 10 to ensure sealing and reduce external interference.
