Abstract:
A light guide plate (10) includes a light incident surface (12), a light emitting surface (14) adjoining the light incident surface, a bottom surface (16) opposite to the light emitting surface, and a plurality of holes (18). Each hole has at least one open end terminating at the light emitting surface or the bottom surface. The holes may be through holes or blind holes. When incident light beams reach the holes, the light beams are reflected or refracted in directions toward the light emitting surface. Therefore a distance traveled by a portion of the light beams in the light guide plate is shortened, and the loss of light energy is reduced. This enables the light guide plate to provide a high ratio of light utilization. Additionally, the through holes reduce the weight of the light guide plate. The light guide plate can be generally rectangular or wedge-shaped.

Abstract:
A light guide plate (20) includes a main body, a light incident surface (201), a light emitting surface (202), and a plurality of light diffusing structures (204), arranged within the main body according to a predetermined pattern. The light diffusing structures are formed using an engraving method. The light diffusing structures are formed within the light guide plate, which protects the light diffusing structures from being damaged. In addition, the laser engraving method and the ultrasonic engraving method can be conveniently controlled, so that the arrangement and distribution of the light diffusing structures can be easily controlled. This enables the light guide plate to be configured with optimal optical characteristics, thereby yielding an improved light utilization ratio.
Abstract:
An exemplary double-sided liquid crystal display (LCD) (200) includes a first liquid crystal panel (212), a first optical film assembly (211), a light guide plate (230), a second optical film assembly (211), and a second liquid crystal panel (222) arranged in that order from bottom to top. An area of the second liquid crystal panel is less than an area of the first liquid crystal panel, and an area of the second optical film assembly is less than an area of the first optical film assembly. The second optical film assembly of the double-sided LCD has a size no larger than that needed to perform its function in respect of light beams propagating therethrough from the light guide plate to the second liquid crystal panel. Therefore, the double-sided LCD is cost-efficient.
Abstract:
A double-sided liquid crystal display device (20) includes a light guide plate (21) having an incident surface (211), a side surface (213), and an emitting surface (212) opposite to the side surface. A light source (22) is disposed opposite to the incident surface, and a transflective liquid crystal panel (23) is disposed adjacent to the emitting surface. The transflective liquid crystal panel enables the LCD device to achieve double-sided display via the emitting surface and the side surface respectively. Because the double-sided LCD device uses the transflective liquid crystal panel to achieve double-sided display, the double-sided LCD device can have a reduced thickness and be relatively inexpensive.

Abstract:
An exemplary backlight module (20) includes a light guide plate (21) having an incident surface (211) and a side surface (714) between an emission surface (212) and a bottom surface (213), the bottom surface being opposite to the emission surface, the side surface being substantially perpendicular to the incident surface; a light source (22) opposite to the incident surface; and a light source cover (23) for reflecting light beams from the light source into the light guide plate. The light source cover is engaged with the light guide plate through a fastening mechanism. The light source cover surrounds one end of the light guide plate at the incident surface, thereby forming a space in cooperation with the end of the light guide plate, and the light source is received in the space.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display (100) has a first panel (14); a second panel (12) opposite to the first panel; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the two panels; and at least one light source (20) for providing light beams. The first panel directly introduces the light beams from the light source into the LCD for displaying images.
