Abstract

A surface light source device and system for monitoring uniformity of brightness of the device are disclosed, the device includes a light source unit; a light guide plate, and at least one light uniformity plate. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface and a light emitting surface, the light incident surface is disposed in a light emitting direction of the light source unit; and the light incident surface is disposed in a light emitting direction of the light source unit. The at least one light uniformity plate comprises a light receiving surface facing the light emitting surface, the light receiving surface is defined with a plurality of zones, and each zone is provided with a photosensitive element which senses and measures the brightness of light. A method of operating the monitoring system is also disclosed.
