Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a display field, and more particularly to a backlight surface light source and a liquid crystal display device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the development of display technology, the flat panel device, such as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) possesses advantages of high image quality, power saving, thin body and wide application scope. Thus, it has been widely applied in various consumer electrical products, such as mobile phone, television, personal digital assistant, digital camera, notebook, laptop, and becomes the major display device. Most of the liquid crystal displays on the present market are back light type liquid crystal displays, which comprise a liquid crystal display panel and a back light module. The working principle of the liquid crystal display panel is to locate liquid crystal molecules between two parallel glass substrates, and a plurality of vertical and horizontal tiny electrical wires are between the two glass substrates. The light of back light module is reflected to generate images by applying driving voltages to control whether the liquid crystal molecules to be changed directions. Because the liquid crystal display panel itself does not emit light and needs the back light module to provide light source for normally showing images. Therefore, the backlight module is the key component of the liquid crystal display device. According to the different light source incident positions, the backlight module can be categorized into two kinds, the side light type backlight module and a direct light type backlight module.

In the prior art, referring to FIG. 1, there is a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel 100 and a backlight module 200. The liquid crystal panel 100 is provided with a first through hole 120, and the backlight module 200 is provided with a second through hole 240 corresponding to the position of the first through hole 120. As shown in FIG. 2, as the backlight module 200 is a side light type backlight module, the light guide plate 220 of the backlight module 200 includes a third through hole 242 corresponding to the first through hole 120. A dark area 280 is easily generated in the vicinity of the third through hole 242, and the light emitted by the LED 260 cannot reach the dark area 280, thereby the viewing comfort of the user will be affected. In order to solve the above problems, a conventional direct light type backlight module is generally used. As shown in FIG. 3, the direct light type backlight module 300 includes a LED substrate 310, a plurality of LEDs 360 disposed on the LED substrate 310 and an optical film 330 disposed on the plurality of LEDs 360. The optical film 330 includes a fourth through hole 334 corresponding to the first through hole 120, and the LED substrate 310 includes a fifth through hole 340 corresponding to the first through hole 120 and the fourth through hole 334. The optical film 330 is used to uniformly diffuse the light emitted by the plurality of LEDs 360 to form a surface light source. Therefore, the conventional direct light type backlight module has a larger thickness, and the thin shape of the irregular screen liquid crystal display device cannot be realized.

The mini light emitting diode (Mini LED) display device is a display device that integrates a micrometer size LED array on a substrate as display pixels to realize an image display, and each pixel can be addressed and individually driven to illuminate, which belongs to a self-illuminating display. The power consumption is small, and the color saturation is close to OLED. Many manufacturers regard it as the current research point.
