Direct backlight module

摘要

The present invention provides a direct backlight module, which includes a backplane, a plurality of LED light bars retained on the backplane, a plurality of light guide plates arranged alternate with respect to the LED light bars, and a diffusion plate mounted on the backplane. The direct backlight module includes the light guide plates that are arranged between the LED light bars to improve utilization rate of light energy of the LED light bars so as to reduce the number of LED lights included in the LED light bars to thereby reduce the manufacturing cost. Further, the arrangement of the light guide plates effectively shortens the light mixing distance and enhances homogeneity of light illumination and also reduces the thickness of backlight module to thereby facilitate thinning of a liquid crystal display device.

主权项

1. A direct backlight module, comprising a backplane that comprises a bottom board and side boards connected to the bottom board, a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) light bars retained on the bottom board of the backplane, a plurality of light guide plates arranged alternate with respect to the LED light bars and set on the bottom board of the backplane, and a diffusion plate mounted on the backplane, wherein each of the light guide plates has two sides at which two positioning plates are respectively mounted, each of the positioning plates comprising a support section that has an end perpendicularly mounted to the bottom board and a retention section extending from a first side surface of the support section that faces the light guide plate and parallel to the bottom board so as to receive the side of the light guide plate therein and securely fix the light guide plate on the bottom board, and wherein two positioning plates are located on opposite sides of each of the LED light bars in such a way that each of the two positioning plates has a second side surface that is opposite to the first side surface and faces the LED light bar, the two second side surfaces of the two positioning plates being opposite to each other and spaced from each other to define therebetween a space for accommodating the LED light bar so that the positioning plates are each located between the LED light bar and one of the light guide plates; wherein at least a portion of the light from the light emitting diode (LED) light bars go directly to the diffusion plate.
