Abstract
A light guide device (60) and a backlight module using the same. The light guide device includes: an incident surface (61); an emitting surface (64) adjacent to the incident surface; a reflecting surface (62) opposited to the emitting surface; a plurality of first V-shaped structures (644) formed on the emitting surface; and a plurality of second V-shaped structures (622) formed on the reflecting surface and perpendicular to the first V-shaped structures, wherein respective heigths of the second V-shaped structures increase with increasing distance from the incident surface and respective distances between adjacent second V-shaped structures decrease with increasing distance from the incident surface. The light guide device of the present invention does not need optical elements, and thus has a simple structure. A backlight module using the same light guide plate is also provided.

A light guide plate includes a light input surface and a light output surface adjoining the light input surface. The light output surface defines a first portion adjacent to the light input surface, a second portion connected with the first portion away from the light input surface. The light guide plate further includes a plurality of prism lenses arranged on the second portion, each prism lens extending along a direction perpendicular to the light input surface, and a plurality of tetrahedral lenses arranged on the first portion of the light output surface, each tetrahedral lens having a side surface located at an imaginary boundary line perpendicularly to the light output surface. A relative height of each tetrahedral lens progressively increases with increasing distance from the light input surface. The present light guide plate and a backlight module using the same can efficiently decrease interference.
