Abstract:
The invention described herein is a very thin flat panel LED luminaire, including a flat baseboard, a flat reflection panel, a flat acrylic panel, a flat diffusion panel, LED bar, and aluminum encasement frame which combines with the baseboard to form the chassis for the luminaire. The LED bar is placed along either or both sides of the stack. The acrylic panel is printed with a mesh-like mask pattern of dots in a pattern in which the density of the pattern decreases the farther away from the LED bar the pattern is, differentially coupling the light from the point source LED bar from the reflection panel into the flat acrylic panel so that illumination across the luminaire is substantially uniform.
Abstract:
A display device includes: a display panel; a light source; and a light guide plate receiving light from the light source and providing the light to the display panel. The light guide plate includes an upper surface facing the display panel, a light incident surface facing the light source and a light opposing surface opposing the light incident surface. The upper surface includes a lens pattern and the lower surface incudes a prism pattern, the prism pattern includes a plurality of prisms arranged along a first direction from the light incident surface to the light opposing surface, each of the prisms has a length extending in a second direction along a length of the light incident surface, and among the prisms arranged along the first direction within the prism pattern, the lengths of the prisms increase as a distnace from the light incident surface increases.
Abstract:
A display device includes a display panel (20), a backlight unit (50) outputting light to the display panel (20), and an optical member (40) refracting or reflecting the light output from the backlight unit (50) and providing the display panel (20) with the light. The backlight unit (50) includes a light source (51) emitting the light, a light guide plate (53) scattering the light emitted from the light source (51) and irradiating the scattered light to a front surface (53a) of the backlight unit (50), a reflective sheet (55) reflecting the light, which is irradiated to a rear surface (53b) of the light guide plate (53), to the light guide plate (53), a quantum dot sheet (57) for converting the light, which is irradiated to the front surface (53a) of the light guide plate (53), into a white light, and a light-converting material (101) provided on an edge portion of the reflective sheet (55) to convert the light into the white light.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of display techniques, and discloses a light guide plate and a manufacturing method thereof, as well as a backlight module; the light guide plate comprises a light guide plate body and lattice points, wherein the light guide plate body is provided with a light output surface, and a receiving groove for receiving a light source is formed in a surface of the light guide plate body facing away from the light output surface thereof, and a side surface and a bottom surface of the receiving groove form a light input surface. The lattice points are distributed inside the light guide plate body along a plane parallel with the light output surface; the further the lattice points are distanced from the light input surface, the more densely they are distributed. When the above light guide plate is in use, the light source is situated in the receiving groove, and light emitted from the light source is directed into the light guide plate through the side surface and the bottom surface of the receiving groove. Besides, since the further the lattice points are distanced from the light input surface, the more densely they are distributed, the uniformity of light emitted from the light output surface of the light guide plate body can be ensured; in addition, since the lattice points are located inside the light guide plate body, friction is avoided between the lattice points of the light guide plate and the reflecting sheet of the backlight module, which prolongs the life time of the backlight module.

Abstract:
A non-uniform illumination pattern is determined with a display panel of a display device. The non-uniform illumination pattern comprises different values of the one or more illumination properties in first and second spatial regions of the display panel. An illumination compensation pattern is generated based at least in part on the non-uniform illumination pattern. The illumination compensation pattern is configured to homogenize values of the illumination properties in a plurality of spatial regions of the display panel that include the first and second spatial regions, and implemented in the display device.
