BACKGROUND

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a light guide plate and a backlight module. More particularly, the present invention relates to a light guide plate having a V-cut structure and a backlight module containing the light guide plate.

2. Description of Related Art

A backlight module is one of the key components for a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. Since liquid crystals themselves do not emit light, the backlight module is required for providing a light source, whereby the LCD panel can show a normal image of uniform brightness. The backlight module generally comprises a light source and a light guide plate and several optical films disposed above the light guide plate, such as a diffuser and a brightness enhancement film (BEF) etc., wherein the light guide plate is used to lead the light emitted by the light source to the optical films, and then the optical films are used to redistribute the light in more directions so that the light emitted can be distributed more uniformly.

Since a light guide plate with microstructures has a more concentrated light pattern than a flat light guide plate, conventional skills often implement the microstructures on the light guide plate to promote the lightness of the light guide plate. A conventional light guide plate with microstructures has an incident surface, an emitting surface and a reflecting surface, and the reflecting surface has the V-cut microstructures of the same type, wherein each of the V-cut microstructures has a main angle. The convention skill generally adjusts the depth or pitch of the V-cut microstructure to control light emitting amount, thereby satisfying the requirement of light uniformity. However, when light is transmitted within the conventional light guide plate with microstructures, a front light beam just entering the light guide plate will form an end light beam after being transmitted, and the light pattern of the end light beam will be different from that of the front light beam, thus causing light pattern variations to occur on the front, middle and end zones of the light guide plate, i.e. the light incident angles from the respective zones to an optical film has quite a lot of variations. On the other hand, since the optical film above the light guide plate is formed from uniform material, the light incident angles to the optical film are required to be as close as possible. Therefore, the light emitting patterns of the conventional light guide plate can hardly generate consistent light incident angles on the front, middle and end zones of the light guide plate, and thus the requirements of optimum light incident angles to the optical film cannot be satisfied.

SUMMARY

Hence, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a light guide plate having a V-cut structure and a backlight module containing the light guide plate, thereby improving the phenomenon of inconsistent light patterns on the front, middle and end zones of the conventional light guide plate.

In accordance with one embodiment, a light guide plate having a V-cut structure comprises a base plate and a plurality of straight-striped V-cut structure sets. The base plate has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The straight-striped V-cut structure sets are formed on a surface of the base plate adjacent to the first side, wherein each of the straight-striped V-cut structure sets is composed of at least one V-cut element. Each V-cut element has a first base angle and a second base angle formed between its respective two inclined surfaces and a horizontal surface of the base plate, wherein the first base angle is located closer to the first side than the second base angle is, and the first base angle is smaller than or equal to the second base angle. Each straight-striped V-cut structure sets has a first average angle value and a second average angle value, wherein the first average angle value is an averaged value of the first base angle(s) of the V-cut element(s) in one straight-striped V-cut structure set, and the second average angle value is an averaged value of the second base angle(s) of the V-cut element(s) in one straight-striped V-cut structure set, and the second average angle values of the straight-striped V-cut structure sets are gradually decreased from the first side to a central position of the base plate.

According to another embodiment, each straight-striped V-cut structure set has a smaller average angle value, wherein the smaller average angle value is the minimum value between the first average base angle and the second average base angle of the V-cut element in one straight-striped V-cut structure set. The straight-striped V-cut structure sets comprises a first V-cut structure set and a second V-cut structure set. The first V-cut structure set is parallel to the first side, and the second V-cut structure set is located between the first side and the first V-cut structure set, wherein the smaller average angle value of the first V-cut structure set is less than the smaller average angle value of the second V-cut structure set.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, each straight-striped V-cut structure set has a larger average angle value, wherein the larger average angle value is the maximum value between the first average base angle and the second average base angle of the V-cut element in one straight-striped V-cut structure set, wherein the larger average angle value of the first V-cut structure set is less than the larger average angle value of the second V-cut structure set.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a backlight module comprises the aforementioned light guide plate having a V-cut structure, an optical film and a first light source, wherein the optical film is disposed above a light-emitting surface of the light guide plate, and the first light source is disposed adjacent to the first side of the light guide plate.

Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1, FIG. 1A and FIG. 1 are respective schematic diagram and schematic bottom view showing a backlight module of the present invention. A backlight module comprises a light a light guide plate 100 having a V-cut structure, an optical film 190, a first light source 170 and a second light source 180, wherein the light guide plate 100 has a first side 110, a second side 120 opposite to the first side 110, and two surfaces 130 and 140 adjacent to the first side 110. The surface 130 is a light-reflecting surface, and the surface 140 is a light-emitting surface of the backlight module. The backlight module shown in FIG. 1 is a dual-light structure, and the first light source 170 and the second light source 180 are disposed adjacent to the first side 110 and the second side 120 of the light guide plate 100 respectively. Besides, the backlight module of the present invention also can be a single-light structure in which only the first light source 170 is disposed and the second light source 180 is not. The light a light guide plate 100 having a V-cut structure comprises a base plate 102 and a plurality of straight-striped V-cut structure sets (not labeled), wherein the base plate 102 can be a wedge plate or a planar plate. The straight-striped V-cut structure sets are formed on the surface 130 of the base plate 102, and also can be optionally formed on the surface 140 of the base plate 102. As shown in FIG. 1A, the V-cut structure on the surface 130 and that on the surface 140 have different extension directions. Each of the straight-striped V-cut structure sets is composed of at least one V-cut element 160. The structure of the V-cut element 160 is described as follows.

Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1C, FIG. 1C is a schematic diagram showing a V-cut element of the present invention, wherein the backlight module is a dual-light structure. There are a first base angle A₁ and a second base angle A₂ respectively between two inclined surfaces of each V-cut element 160 and a horizontal surface of the base plate 102, wherein the first base angle A₁ is located closer to the first side 110 than the second base angle A₂ is, and the first base angle A₁ is equal to the second base angle A₂. The first base angle A₁ and the second base angle A₂ range from about 30 degrees to about 45 degrees. Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1D, FIG. 1D is a schematic diagram showing another V-cut element of the present invention, wherein the backlight module is a single-light structure (i.e., only the first light source 170 is disposed and the second light source 180 is not). Each V-cut element 160 has a first base angle B₁ and a second base angle B₂ formed between its respective two inclined surfaces and a horizontal surface of the base plate 102, and the first base angle B₁ is less than the second base angle B₂. The first base angle B₁ ranges from about 2 degrees to about 8 degrees, and the second base angle B₂ ranges from about 30 degrees to about 45 degrees. The present invention is mainly to mix the V-cut elements with different base angles on different zones of the base plate 102, so as to generate the light patterns having quite consistent light-emitting angles on the respective zones, thus satisfying the requirements of optimum light incident angles to the optical film 190.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the V-cut structure is a continuous structure of consecutive V-cut elements 160, i.e. there is no interruption between every two adjacent V-cut elements. However, referring to FIG. 1C, FIG. 1D and FIG. 1E, FIG. 1E is a schematic diagram showing another backlight module of the present invention. The V-cut structure also can be a discontinuous structure of inconsecutive V-cut elements 160 as shown in FIG. 1E, i.e., there are flat surfaces around each V-cut element as shown in FIG. 1C or FIG. 1D. Therefore, the present invention is applicable to the continuous or discontinuous V-cut structure.

Hereinafter, the design principles for mixing the V-cut elements with different base angles on different zones of the base plate 102 are explained.

Design Principle I

This design principle is based on the changes of the average values of the second base angles.

Referring to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram showing straight-striped V-cut structure sets in accordance with one embodiment, wherein a plurality of straight-striped V-cut structure sets 210, 220, 230, 240 and 250 are arranged on the base plate 102 sequentially from the first side 110 to the second side 120. Each of the straight-striped V-cut structure sets 210, 220, 230, 240 and 250 has a first average angle value and a second average angle value, wherein the first average angle value is an averaged value of the first base angles of the V-cut elements 160 in one straight-striped V-cut structure set 210, 220, 230, 240 or 250, and the second average angle value is an averaged value of the second base angles of the V-cut elements 160 in one straight-striped V-cut structure set 210, 220, 230, 240 or 250. The V-cut elements 160 shown in FIG. 2A is merely shown as an example for explanation, and in fact, each of the straight-striped V-cut structure set 210, 220, 230, 240 and 250 can be composed of one or more V-cut elements 160. The second average angle values of the straight-striped V-cut structure sets 210, 220, 230, 240 and 250 are gradually decreased from the first side 110 to a central position (the position at which the straight-striped V-cut structure set 230 is located) of the base plate 102, i.e., the second average angle value of the straight-striped V-cut structure set 210> the second average angle value of the straight-striped V-cut structure set 220> the second average angle value of the straight-striped V-cut structure set 230.

Referring to FIG. 2B, FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram showing straight-striped V-cut structure sets in accordance with another embodiment. In this embodiment, a method of mixing different types of V-cut elements is used to enable this design principle, and the different types of V-cut elements stand for the V-cut elements with different first base angles and/or second base angles, such as a first V-cut element 160A and a second V-cut element 160B. As shown in FIG. 2B, the straight-striped V-cut structure set 210 is composed of at least one first V-cut element 160A; the straight-striped V-cut structure set 230 is composed of at least one second V-cut element 160B; the straight-striped V-cut structure set 250 is composed of at least one third V-cut element 160C; the straight-striped V-cut structure set 220 is formed by mixing the first V-cut element 160A and the second V-cut element 160B; and the straight-striped V-cut structure set 240 is formed by mixing the second V-cut element 160B and the third V-cut element 160C. In this embodiment, the method of mixing different types of V-cut elements can be such as alternately disposing different types of V-cut elements, for example, the V-cut element 160A/the V-cut element 160B/the V-cut element 160A.

This design principle will be varied in accordance with the type of the backlight module which is a dual-light structure or a single-light structure.

In the dual-light structure, the second average angle values of the straight-striped V-cut structure sets 210, 220, 230, 240 and 250 are gradually increased from the central position to the second side 120 of the base plate 102, i.e., the second average angle value of the straight-striped V-cut structure set 230< the second average angle value of the straight-striped V-cut structure set 240< the second average angle value of the straight-striped V-cut structure set 250. For example, as shown in Table 1, the second average angle values are gradually decreased from the straight-striped V-cut structure set 210 (the first side 110) to the straight-striped V-cut structure set 230 (the central position), and then is gradually increased to the straight-striped V-cut structure set 250 (the second side 120).

Design Principle II

This design principle is based on the changes of the smaller average angle values of the straight-striped V-cut structure sets, wherein the smaller average angle value is the minimum value between the first average base angle and the second average base angle of the V-cut element in one straight-striped V-cut structure set. For example, if the first average angle value and the second average angle value of a certain straight-striped V-cut structure set are 3.5 degrees and 40 degrees, then the smaller average angle value is 3.5 degrees.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing straight-striped V-cut structure sets in accordance with another embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the straight-striped V-cut structure sets comprises a first V-cut structure set 310, a second V-cut structure set 320, a third V-cut structure set 330, a fourth V-cut structure set 340, a fifth V-cut structure set 350 and a sixth V-cut structure set 360.

For example, if the first average angle value and the second average angle value of a certain straight-striped V-cut structure set are 3.5 degrees and 40 degrees, then the smaller average angle value is 40 degrees.
