Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0002]    The present invention generally relates to a light guiding structure and, more particularly, to a composite light guiding curved surface structure capable of increasing the diffusing angle and the light-receiving efficiency. 
         [0003]    2. Description of the Prior Art 
         [0004]    The currently available LED back light is from point light sources and is less uniform as compared to line light sources such as the conventional cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL). It is difficult to deformed light from point light sources into light from line light sources and thus light source mechanisms for uniformizing light are required. Therefore, it has become a key topic in the light guide plate industry to deform light from point light sources into more uniform light from line light sources and to further deform the light into light from a surface light source. 
         [0005]    In a conventional liquid crystal display (LCD), the back light module uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as light sources. However, the CCFL back light module has disadvantages such as short lifetime, large size, lower light-emitting efficiency than LED&#39;s and the use of environment-unfriendly mercury-vapor lamps, and has been thus replaced gradually by the LED back light module with less power consumption, smaller size, and environment-friendliness. 
         [0006]    More particularly, the LED back light module exhibits higher light-emitting efficiency, more saturate colors and longer duration than the conventional CCFL back light module. According to Restrictions on Hazardous Substance (RoHs) that has been valid in European Union (EU) since July 2006, the LCD having a CCFL back light module using mercury-vapor lamps is restricted. Therefore, it has become a trend to replace the CCFL back light module by the LED back light module. 
         [0007]    For the problem of non-uniform distribution of light from point light sources due non-uniform light intensity on the light-receiving end in the LED back light module, there have been reports on the design of V-grooved micro gratings on the light-receiving end to overcome the problem of non-uniform light intensity on the light-receiving end in the edge-type LED back light module. 
         [0008]    For example, in U.S. Patent Pub. No. 20040130880, a light guide plate having a saw-toothed shaped light-receiving end is used in an edge-type LED back light module. The gratings provide multiple scattering and refraction to change the local orientation of the LED light source. Moreover, the pattern on the reflecting surface of a light guide plate can be designed to achieve uniform incoming light. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open Application No. 2007226075, micro lenses are provided on the pattern on the light guide plate to improve uniformity of light from the light source. Moreover, in U.S. Patent Pub. No. 20030058382, light uniformity is improved by designing asymmetric gratings with different pitches on the pattern on a reflecting surface of a light guide plate. 
         [0009]    In U.S. Pat. No. 7,251,412, a phase function is applied on a surface used as a light-emitting surface of a light guide plate to enhance light uniformity. Moreover, in U.S. Patent Pub. No. 20040130879, the angle of light from the LED&#39;s is enlarged by an optical lens and a cylindrical surface is used as the light-receiving surface to overcome the problems due to non-uniformity of light. 
         [0010]    Alternatively, the light-receiving surface of the light guide plate can be polished. In the literature, there has not been any report on reflection loss on the Fresnel interface. In order to reduce the reflection loss on the light-receiving surface, an anti-reflection layer is provided by coating. 
         [0011]    However, there are only a few materials for coating and multi-layered coating takes time and is costly. Therefore, it is not suitable for back light modules manufactured by mass production. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Moreover, each of the micro lenses is provided with a plurality of anti-reflecting structures to increase the light transmission efficiency to reduce loss of light at the interface and enhance the utilization of light.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0032]    The present invention can be exemplified but not limited by the embodiments as described hereinafter. 
         [0033]    Please refer to  FIG. 1A , which is a schematic diagram of a composite light guiding curved surface structure according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the composite light guiding curved surface structure  2  comprises a structure body  20  and at least one light source  21 . The structure body  20  is an edge-type light guide plate, which is provided with a light-receiving surface  200  thereon. The light-receiving surface  200  is provided with a plurality of curved surfaces  22  thereon. At least one light source  21  is disposed on one side of the light-receiving surface  200 . In the present embodiment, a light source  21  is disposed on an outer surface of each curved surface  22 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the number of light sources  21  can be different from the number of the curved surfaces  22  and be determined as is required. Each light source  21  is a point light source capable of generating a light field projecting onto a corresponding curved surface  22 . In the present embodiment, each light source  21  is a LED. 
         [0034]    As the radius of curvature of each curved surface  22  approaches the size of the light source  21 , the diffusing angle of light entering the curved surface  22  becomes larger. As shown in  FIG. 1B , the diffusing angle of light from a curved surface and a light source is schematically shown. According to the sine law, the triangle OAB meets formula (1) expressed as:

         [0000]    wherein ∠OAB denotes the light-emitting angle of the light source  21 ,  AO  is one half of the size of the light source  21 , and  OB  is the radius of curvature of the curved surface  22 . According to the sine law in formula (1), when  OB  gets smaller and the radius of curvature of the curved surface  22  approaches the size of the light source  21 , the ratio of Sin θ 1  to  AO  increases. Since  AO  is constant, Sin θ 1  increases as  OB  decreases. Therefore, in  FIG. 1B , Sin θ 1  is smaller than Sin θ 1 . Since the radius of curvature of the curved surface  22  is larger than that of the curved surface  22 ′, the diffusing angle of the reflected light beam  91  when the incident light beam  90  is reflected by the curved surface  22  is larger than the diffusing angle of the reflected light beam  92  when the incident light beam  90  is reflected by the curved surface  22 ′. 
         [0035]    Referring to  FIG. 1A , each curved surface  22  is provided with a plurality of micro lenses  23  thereon. As shown in  FIG. 2A , a cross-sectional diagram of a micro lens according to the present invention is shown. In the present embodiment, the micro lens  23  has an arc-surfaced structure. Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 2B , the micro lens  23   a  has a cone-surfaced structure. Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 2C , the micro lens  23   b  has both an arc-surfaced structure and a cone-surfaced structure. 
         [0036]      FIG. 3A  to  FIG. 3B  are examples of cone-surfaced structures being circular or polygonal. In the embodiment in  FIG. 1A , the micro lenses are arranged in an array on the curved surface. In addition, as shown in  FIG. 4 , the micro lenses  23  are arranged irregularly on the curved surface  22 . 
         [0037]    The micro lenses  23  are formed on each curved surface  22  like a biomimetic compound eye structure to increase the diffusing angle of the incident light beam for light diffusion. In non-imaging optics, the micro lenses  23  are formed to achieve multiple scattering and refraction of light from a point light source to increase the diffusing angle of the incident light beam according to Snell&#39;s Law, as expressed in formula (2) and  FIG. 5 .

         [0039]    Non-planar light can be traced according to formula (4). Since it requires a great amount of optical ray tracing calculation, non-sequential Monte Carlo ray tracing is used. If necessary, the currently available geometric optic ray tracing software such as Lightool, Tracepro, ASAP, SPEOS can be used. Such optical ray tracing software is well-known and thus description thereof is not presented.

         [0040]    As shown in  FIG. 6A , the micro lens  23  is provided with a plurality of sub-wavelength anti-reflecting structures  24  thereon to increase the light-receiving efficiency and light coupling efficiency. Compared to conventional anti-reflecting coating, the sub-wavelength anti-reflecting structure provides anti-reflection and wider bandwidth and is not material-limited, which is suitable for the back light module made by mass production. The sub-wavelength structures  24  can be arranged in an array or irregularly on the micro lens  23 . The sub-wavelength anti-reflecting structures  24  can be curved surfaces as shown in  FIG. 6A , column structures in  FIG. 6B , cone structures in  FIG. 3A  and  FIG. 3B  or combination thereof. Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 6C , in the present embodiment, gratings are formed on the micro lens  23  as the sub-wavelength anti-reflecting structures  24   a . The anti-reflection theory will be described hereinafter. When the size of the surfaced structures approaches the wavelength of light, diffraction takes place. According to diffraction of gratings as expressed in formula (5):

         [0000]    wherein n i  and n t  denote the refraction index of media wherein light is incoming and transmitting, respectively; θ i  and θ m  denote the incident angle and the m th  order diffraction angle; λ is the incident light wavelength; and A is the period of the grating. Since the size of the sub-wavelength anti-reflecting structures  24  is much shorter than the wavelength of electro-magnetic wave, higher order diffraction does not take place and only zero-order reflection and transmission happen when the electro-magnetic wave is incident on the sub-wavelength anti-reflecting structures  24 . Therefore, only zero-order reflection elimination requires to be considered instead of complicated higher order diffraction. 
         [0041]    Please refer to  FIG. 7 , which is a schematic diagram of a composite light guiding curved surface structure according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the composite light guiding curved surface structure is similar to the structure in  FIG. 1  except that the composite light guiding curved surface structure  3  comprises a structure body  30  being a light guide bar disposed on one side of the light guide plate  4 . Moreover, the composite light guiding curved surface structure  3  comprises a light-receiving surface  300  being provided with a plurality of curved surfaces  32  thereon, each curved surface  32  corresponding to a light source  31 . The curved surface  32  is provided with a plurality of micro lenses  33  being arranged in an array or irregularly. Each micro lens  33  is further provided with a plurality of sub-wavelength anti-reflecting structures (not shown). The curved surfaces  32 , the micro lenses  3  and the sub-wavelength anti-reflecting structures have been described above and thus descriptions thereof are not presented. In the present embodiment, on the light-emitting surface  301  corresponding to one side of the light-receiving surface  300 , there are provided a plurality of gratings  34  with period and structure being determined as is required. In the present embodiment, the gratings  34  are saw-toothed shaped, but not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, the orientation of the light field from a light source can be changed by the micro structures and the anti-reflecting structures so that light from point light sources can be deformed into light from a line light source. The grating  34  are disposed so that light uniformity can be further improved by the composite light guiding curved surface structure  3 . By adjusting the period and shape of the gratings  34 , light from point light sources can be deformed into more uniform light as from a line light source. The structure of the gratings is well-known and thus description thereof is not presented herein. 
         [0042]    Please refer to  FIG. 8A  to  FIG. 8C , which are schematic diagrams of a composite light guiding curved surface structure according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the composite light guiding curved surface structure  5  is a direct-type composite light guiding curved surface structure. In other words, the composite light guiding curved surface structure  5  comprises a light-receiving surface  500  being a bottom surface of the composite light guiding curved surface structure  5 , instead of being a side surface in  FIG. 1 . Essentially, the light-receiving surface  500  is provided with a plurality of curved surfaces  51  thereon. Each curved surface  51  corresponds to a light source  510  (only a light source being shown in the figure), for example, a light-emitting diode. Certainly, a plurality of curved surfaces  51  can also correspond to a light-emitting diode. As shown in  FIG. 8B , each curved surface  51  is provided with a plurality of micro lenses  52  thereon. Each micro lens  52  is further provided with a plurality of sub-wavelength anti-reflecting structures  53 , as shown in  FIG. 6A . The curved surfaces  51 , the micro lenses  52  and the curved surfaces  53  have been descried as above, and thus descriptions thereof are not presented herein. 
         [0043]    Please refer to  FIG. 9A  and  FIG. 9B , which schematically show the diffusing angle on a curved surface with and without the micro lenses, respectively. By using optical ray tracing, the graph can be simulated. It is observed that the curve in  FIG. 9B  is more broadened than the curve in  FIG. 9B  since there are no micro structures in  FIG. 9A  and there are micro structures provided in  FIG. 9B . 
         [0044]      FIG. 10  schematically shows the vertical and horizontal diffusing angles on a curved surface with and without the micro lenses. Curve  80  represents a horizontal diffusing angle curve with micro lenses in the present invention. Curve  81  represents a horizontal diffusing angle curve without micro lenses. Curve  82  represents a vertical diffusing angle curve with micro lenses in the present invention. Curve  83  represents a vertical diffusing angle curve without micro lenses. In  FIG. 10 , it is observed that the present invention uses micro lenses so that the horizontal diffusing angle with micro lenses is 10 degrees larger than the diffusing angle without in the micro lenses and orientation is eliminated since the energy diffuses from the center to the sides. 
         [0045]    Accordingly, the present invention provides a composite light guiding curved surface structure capable of increasing the diffusing angle and the light-receiving efficiency. Therefore, the present invention is useful, novel and non-obvious. 
         [0046]    Although this invention has been disclosed and illustrated with reference to particular embodiments, the principles involved are susceptible for use in numerous other embodiments that will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. This invention is, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the appended claims.
