DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The present invention provides a backlight and a display apparatus. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of the present invention more clear and specific, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the embodiments accompanying with drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a first embodiment of a backlight in accordance with the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a light path diagram of the backlight shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides a backlight. The backlight 100 comprises a substrate 10 and a light source 20.

Referring to FIG. 1, the substrate 10 comprises a central area 10a and an edge area 10b disposed at a periphery of the central area 10a. The substrate 10 has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 along a thickness direction of the substrate 10; the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are both continuous. The first surface 11 has at least one light incident surface 111 in the edge area 10b; the light source 20 is opposed to or in contact with the light incident surface 111 to provide the substrate 10 with light through the light incident surface 111. Light provided by the light source 20 enters the substrate 10 through the light incident surface 111 and is guided by the substrate 10 to emit evenly from the second surface 12.

The backlight 100 of the present invention can reduce an area of a non-display area of a display panel by positioning the light source 20 at a position opposite to or in contact with the light incident surface 111, thereby increasing the screen-to-body ratio and finally achieving narrow bezels.

As shown in FIG. 1, a thickness of the substrate 10 in the edge area 10b is less than thickness in the central region 10a.

As shown in FIG. 1, the second surface 12 of the substrate 10 is a continuous plane as a whole.

As shown in FIG. 1, the substrate 10 has a plurality of reflective dots 14 on the first surface 11, and the reflective dots 14 may be circular, rectangular, triangular, etc.

Preferably, a distribution density of the reflective dots 14 increases along a transmission direction of light in the substrate 10. In other words, the distribution density of the reflective dots 14 increases along a direction away from the light incident surface 111.

As shown in FIG. 1, the second surface 12 has a second deflection surface 121 in the edge area 10b, and the second deflection surface 121 is a surface formed by the deviation of the second surface 12 in the edge area 10b away from a surface where the central area 10a is located. The second deflection surface 121 is configured to deflect and emit light entering the second deflection surface 121 in the substrate 10 toward a preset target direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, the second deflection surface 121 is configured to deflect and emit light entering the second deflection surface 121 in the substrate 10. In other words, the second deflection surface 121 can deflect and adjust the angle of light emitted through the edge area 10 of the substrate 10 to improve the light utilization rate of the backlight. For example, the second deflection surface 121 is used to deflect the light from the edge area of the backlight toward the effective display area of the display panel, thereby reducing light directed to the non-display area of the display panel and improving the effective utilization of light.

As a preferred embodiment, an orthographic projection of the second deflection surface 121 on a display panel covers the frame sealant of the display panel.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, as a preferred implementation structure, the second deflection surface 121 is an inclined surface; that is, the second deflection surface 121 is a tapered plane. For example, in this embodiment, the second surface 12 is a plane in the central area 10a, and the second deflection surface 121 is a tapered plane adjacent to and at an angle to the above plane.

It should be pointed out that the present invention does not limit the specific structure, arrangement position, or size of the second deflection surface 121. In an actual design, any configuration may be implemented as long as the second deflection surface 121 is appropriate, and light passing through the second deflection surface 121 in the substrate 10 can be deflected according to the preset target direction. For example, in other implementation structures, the second deflection surface 121 may be a curved surface.

In specific implementation, the second deflection surface 121 is formed by cutting at least one end of the second surface 12 of the substrate 10, and the cutting means is knife wheel cutting or laser cutting. In this embodiment, the second deflection surface 121 formed by cutting is an inclined surface.

For example, the substrate 10 is made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or polyimide (PI).

Specifically, the reflective dots 14 are formed by recessing the second surface 12 toward the second surface 12. For example, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the reflective dots 14 is semicircular. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the reflective dots 14 may be triangular or other cross-sectional shapes with scattering function.

As shown in FIG. 1, the light source 20 is opposite to or in contact with the light incident surface 111. For example, in this embodiment, the light source 20 is held on the light incident surface 111.

“Held” means that the light source 20 is positioned or fixed. The present invention does not limit the connection relationship between the light source 20 and the substrate 10 herein. For example, in this embodiment, the light source 20 can be held on a surface of the substrate 10 by the cooperation of the light source 20 and a back plate. In other embodiments, the light source 20 may be fixed or held on the second surface 12 by means of optical sealant or a backlight frame, etc.

As shown in FIG. 1, an orthographic projection of the light source 20 on the substrate 10 falls within an orthographic projection of the second deflection surface 121 on the substrate 10.

As a preferred embodiment, an orthographic projection of the light source 20 on a display panel corresponds to the frame sealant of the display panel.

In specific implementation, the light source 20 may be an LED light source.

It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific distribution or arrangement of the light source 20 on the substrate 10, nor does it limit the specific number or quantity of the light source 20.

As shown in FIG. 1, the backlight 100 further comprises a reflective layer 30, and the reflective layer 30 covers a surface of the substrate 10 other than the second surface 12 and the light incident surface 111. For example, in this embodiment, the substrate 10 further comprises a plurality of side surfaces 13 adjacent to the first surface 11 and the second surface 12. The reflective layer 30 covers an area of the first surface 11 of the substrate 10 other than the light incident surface 111 and covers a side surface 13 of the substrate 10.

Specifically, the reflective layer 30 may be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer laminated structure. The film used to form the reflective layer 30 may be at least one of a light reflective film or a metal reflective layer. The metal reflective layer may be a metal with a reflective function or a light-reflecting function. The metal with a reflection function or a light-reflecting function may be, but is not limited to, aluminum (Al) or silver (Ag). The metal reflective layer can be formed by a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. The reflective layer 30 can be a reflective film that can be directly attached.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first surface 11 of the substrate 10 is further provided with an optical layer group 40, and the optical layer group 40 comprises at least one diffusion layer 41 and at least one prism layer 42. The diffusion layer 41 is disposed on the second surface 12 of the substrate 10, and the prism layer 42 is disposed on a surface of the diffusion layer 41 facing away from the substrate 10.

In this embodiment, the diffusion layer 41 may be a diffusion sheet or a diffusion plate. In other embodiments, the diffusion layer 41 may also be a light diffusion material layer directly formed on the substrate 10 from a material having light diffusion properties, or a diffusion structure layer formed on the substrate 10 with a light-transmitting material. The present invention does not specifically limit the specific structure, form or material of the diffusion layer 41. As long as the actual configuration of the diffusion layer 41 is reasonable, the effect of diffusing incident light can be achieved.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first surface 11 has at least one first deflection surface 112 in the edge area 10b, and at least a part of the first deflection surface 112 is used for the light incident surface 111. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the first deflection surface 112 is used for the light incident surface 111.

As shown in FIG. 3, an orthographic projection of the light source 20 on the substrate 10 falls within an orthographic projection of the first deflection surface 112 on the substrate 10.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first deflection surface 112 serves as the light incident surface 111, which can adjust deflection of light entering the substrate 10 and reduce the light loss of the light source 20, so as to ensure that light from the light source 20 can be transmitted into the substrate 10 at a greater incident angle. The deflection angle of light caused by refraction after entering the substrate 10 is reduced, so as to solve the hotspot phenomenon caused by the refraction of the light emitted by the light source 20 entering the substrate 10, thereby alleviating the problem of dark bands and uneven brightness of the substrate 10 and improving the overall luminous efficiency of the backlight.

As a preferred embodiment, an orthographic projection of the first deflection surface 112 on a display panel covers the frame sealant of the display panel.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first deflection surface 112 is an inclined surface; that is, the first deflection surface 112 is a tapered plane. For example, in this embodiment, the first surface 11 is a plane in the central area 10a, and the first deflection surface 112 is a tapered plane adjacent to and at an angle to the above plane.

Similarly, it should be pointed out that, the present invention does not limit the specific structure, arrangement position or size of the first deflection surface 112. In an actual design, the design would qualify as long as the first deflection surface 112 is appropriately configured, and light passing through the first deflection surface 112 and into the substrate 10 can be deflected according to the preset target direction. For example, in other implementation structures, the first deflection surface 112 may be a curved surface.
