چکیده
We have investigated the light intensity distributions of a 7-inch LGP to increase output illuminance uniformity by reducing the bright and dark areas caused by a plurality of LED. We analyzed the effects of the LED–LED gap and LED–LGP space to the light intensity distribution in the LGP inside. We have found that the density function of LGP pattern has a simple exponential terms. We analyzed the output light intensity of the LGP through the comparison of the simulation results between adopting the hemisphere pattern density function and adopting the equidistance pattern density function. And also, to reduce the bright spot and dark areas, we have introduced a convex elliptical LED reflector. As a result, the output illuminance uniformity was improved effectively by the adoption of the pattern density function and the new LED reflector.

We propose a new polarization-preserving edge-lit light guide plate (LGP) based on total internal reflection.

When integrated with a linearly polarized LED array, the LCD optical efficiency can be en...
متن کاملLight-guide plate using periodical and single-sized microstructures to create a uniform backlight system.
Light-guide plates (LGPs) with aperiodic or size-varied microstructures are widely used in edge-lit light-source backlight systems for their high uniformity. In this Letter we designed a LGP with periodic and single-sized microstructures and analyzed the relationship between the holistic arrangement density of the microstructures and the uniformity. By controlling the holistic arrangement densi...
