Abstract

A transparent light source system for a display device comprises a light source, and a light guide plate which includes an incident surface opposite to the light source, an upper surface, a lower surface parallel to the upper surface, and a lateral surface opposite to the incident surface. An outer light guide film is disposed outside the upper surface, first optical micro-structures allowing light transmitted in the light guide plate to be emitted from the upper surface are disposed on the upper surface, second optical micro-structures opposite to the first optical micro-structures are disposed on an inner surface of the outer light guide film, and the second optical micro-structures allow light emitted out of the first optical micro-structures to be emitted from an outer surface of the outer light guide film.
