Abstract
A direct back-lit light guide structure is applied to a light guide plate and a back-lit module. The light guide plate has a light-ejection surface and a light-inject surface opposite to the light-ejection surface. The back-lit module comprises at least one point-light source located on the light-ejection surface. The direct back-lit light guide structure comprises at least one asymmetric concave structure formed on the light-ejection surface, and each the point-light source is corresponding to one asymmetric concave structure in such a manner that the point-light source projects light directly toward the asymmetric concave structure. Each the asymmetric concave structure has a central lowest point. The point-light source is located right below the central lowest point. The direct back-lit light guide structure has advantages of better optical uniformity, higher illumination efficiency, fewer point-light sources required, lower cost, narrower side-frame and thinner light guide plate.
