TECHNICAL FIELD
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a backlight module and an anti-peeping display device.
BACKGROUND
At present, in the case that a user conducts business activities or looks up confidential information through an electronic display device, security of the information displayed by the electronic display device needs to be guaranteed. In order to prevent other people from peeping information displayed on the electronic display device, an anti-peeping film for example is provided on the display device. The anti-peeping film is provided with a light shielding bar, such that a visual angle range of the display device is reduced, and the user only can see the displayed content within an allowable range of the visual angle. However, the light shielding bar on the anti-peeping film reduces brightness of a liquid crystal display panel, thereby reducing a display effect of the anti-peeping display device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of the embodiments of the disclosure apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiment will be described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the drawings related to the embodiments of the disclosure. It is obvious that the described embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the disclosure. Based on the described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be within the scope of the disclosure.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a backlight module. As shown in FIG. 1, the backlight module comprising a light guide plate 1, a lens 2 and a light source 3; the lens 2 is provided between the light source 3 and the light guide plate 1, and light emitted from the light source 3 is incident upon the light guide plate 1 through the lens 2 at a same incident angle; a light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 4, and the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 is a total reflection surface except regions where the protrusions 4 are provided. A light emission surface of the protrusion 4 is parallel with that of the light guide plate 1, a surface of the protrusion 4 for performing a first reflection on light incident upon the protrusion 4 is a total reflection surface, and after being totally reflected once, the light incident upon the protrusion 4 exit perpendicularly to the light emission surface of the protrusion 4.
Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1, the light source 3 is provided on upper left of the light guide plate 1, the light emitted from the light source is incident upon the light guide plate 1 in parallel after being refracted via the lens 2, and the lens 2 is any lens of enabling the light emitted from the light source 3 to be changed into parallel light, for example, a collimating lens. As shown in FIG. 1, a light incident surface of the light guide plate 1 is a left end surface of the light guide plate 1, and the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 is an upper surface of the light guide plate 1. The protrusions 4 are provided on the upper surface of the light guide plate 1. The protrusion 4 for example has a cross section of trapezoidal shape or approximately trapezoidal shape. For example, the protrusion 4 has the cross section of an inverted trapezoidal shape in FIG. 1; for example, a plane where a waist for reflecting the light in the inverted trapezoidal shape is provided is a total reflection surface, and a plane where a waist not reflecting the light is provided is perpendicular to the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1. For another example, the protrusion has the cross section of an approximately inverted trapezoidal shape in FIG. 2, a plane where a waist for reflecting the light in the approximately inverted trapezoidal shape is provided is a total reflection surface, and a plane where a waist not reflecting the light is provided is a curved surface. The protrusion 4 for example has a shape of strip, and in the case that the protrusion 4 being in the shape of the strip, the protrusions 4 are provided on the upper surface of the light guide plate 1 at intervals. The protrusions 4 for example are blocks, and in the case that the protrusions 4 being blocks, the protrusions are provided on the upper surface of the light guide plate 1 at intervals.
For example, the surface for performing the first reflection on the light incident upon the protrusion 4 is the surface of the protrusion far away from the light source. As shown in FIG. 1, the plane where the waist for reflecting the light in the trapezoidal shape is provided is a surface far away from the light source.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the light emitted from the light source 3 are changed into parallel light through the lens 2, the parallel light is incident upon the light guide plate 1, is further incident upon the protrusions 4 after being refracted by the light guide plate 1, and exits perpendicularly to the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4 after being totally reflected once in the protrusions, so that the light incident upon the light guide plate 1 all exits from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4 perpendicularly after being reflected by the light guide plate 1. In this way, the light exiting from the protrusions 4 is perpendicularly incident upon a liquid crystal display panel 5, and then, perpendicularly exits from a front side of the liquid crystal display panel 5, which decreases a visual angle range of the liquid crystal display panel 5, thereby achieving an anti-peeping effect. The backlight module according to the embodiments of the present disclosure has the anti-peeping effect without installing an anti-peeping film, a problem that the anti-peeping film reduces brightness of the liquid crystal display panel 5 cannot occur, and therefore, a display effect of an anti-peeping display device is improved without influencing the anti-peeping effect of the anti-peeping display device.
It should be noted that, taking the backlight module shown in FIG. 1 as an example, after being totally reflected on the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 and the waists for reflecting the light in the protrusions 4, the light is perpendicularly incident toward the liquid crystal display panel 5; in order to ensure that an emission direction of light exiting from the protrusions 4 is perpendicular to the liquid crystal display panel 5, a scatter plate or a prism film does not need to be provided between the liquid crystal display panel 5 and the light guide plate 1, so that a manufacturing process is simplified and cost is reduced on the premise that a display effect is not influenced.
In order to enable the light incident upon the protrusions 4 to all perpendicularly exit from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4 after being totally reflected once, the light incident upon the protrusions 4 firstly need to be all incident upon the surfaces for totally reflecting the light in the protrusions 4, and then, exit from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4 after being totally reflected. Taking a cross-sectional schematic view of the backlight module in FIG. 1 as an example, a width of the light emission surface of the protrusion 4 is x, and a distance between the light emission surface of the protrusion 4 and the light incident surface of the protrusion 4 is y, a width of a connection part of the light incident surface of the protrusion 4 and the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 is z, and x, y and z need to meet the following relational expressions:




  x

        tg

    ⁢
    
      
    
    ⁢
    and
    ⁢
    
      
    
    ⁢
    z
  
  ≤
  
    
      y
      
        tg
        ⁢
        
          
        
        ⁢
        α
      
    
    -
    
      
        y
        
          tg

          ⁢
          β
        
      
      .
    
  




In the case that x, y and z meet the above-described relational expressions, the light incident upon the protrusions 4 are all incident upon the surfaces for totally reflecting the light in the protrusions 4, thereby avoiding a situation that the light cannot perpendicularly exit from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4 due to the fact that the light incident upon the protrusions 4 are directly incident upon the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4.
In order to enable the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 to be the total reflection surface except the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided, a condition of total reflection needs to be met in the case that the light are incident upon other regions of the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 than the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided. An included angle between an incident light ray refracted on the light incident surface of the light guide plate 1 and the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 is α, then an incident angle is 90−α in the case that the light are incident upon the region of the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 except the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided; a default refractivity of air is 1, according to Snell's law, a condition for the light to be totally reflected in the region of the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 except the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided is as follows:

where n is a refractivity of the light guide plate 1. In the case that the included angle α meets the above-described condition, the light are totally reflected in the region of the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 except the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided, which avoids that the light are refracted out of the light guide plate 1 from the region of the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 except the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided, so as to enable the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 to be the total reflection surface except the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, in order for the light incident upon the protrusions 4 to exit perpendicularly to the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4 after being totally reflected once, an included angle between the surface for performing the first reflection on the light incident upon the protrusion 4 and the light emission surface of the protrusion 4 is β, and the included angle α and the included angle β meet 2β−α=90°. Thus, as the included angle between the incident light ray refracted on the light incident surface of the light guide plate 1 and the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 is α, an included angle between the light ray incident upon the protrusion 4 and the light incident surface of the protrusion 4 is also α, an incident angle is 90−β+α in the case that the light is incident upon the surface for performing the first reflection in the protrusion 4; an included angle between the light that have been totally reflected and the surface for totally reflecting the light is β−α, and 2β−α=90°, so the light exit perpendicularly to the light emission surface of the protrusion 4.
In order to enable the surface for performing the first reflection on the light incident upon the protrusion 4 to be the total reflection surface, the incident angle is 90−β+α in the case that the light is incident upon the surface for performing the first reflection in the protrusion 4, the default refractivity of air is 1, according to Snell's law,

where n is the refractivity of the light guide plate 1. In the case that the included angle α and the included angle β meet the above-described condition, the light is totally reflected on the surface for performing the first reflection in the protrusion 4, which avoids that the light is refracted out of the protrusion 4 from the surface for performing the first reflection in the protrusion 4.

In the case that the base angles γ1 and γ2 meet the above-described relational expressions, the light is totally reflected on the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 after being incident upon the light guide plate 1 from the light incident structures 6, which avoids that the light is refracted out of the light guide plate 1 from the region of the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 except the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the refractivity of the light guide plate is 1.5; in order that the light incident upon the light guide plate 1 is totally reflected on the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1, the angle α is within a range of 0<α<48.2°, and the angle γ is within a range of 20.9°<γ<69.1°. In order to increase brightness of light emitted from the light emission surfaces of protrusions 4, the light is only reflected but not refracted on the light reflection surface of the light incident structure 6, so that the light is all reflected to enter the light guide plate 1, thereby ensuring the brightness of the light emitted from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4, i.e., in the case that 20.9°<γ<45°, the light reflection surface of the light incident surface 6 is provided with a reflection coating 7; in the case that 45°≦γ<69.1°, the light is totally reflected on the light reflection surface of the light incident structure 6. Thus, after being incident upon the light reflection surface of the light incident structure 6, the light is all reflected to enter the light guide plate 1 without loss due to refraction, the brightness of the light emitted from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4 is ensured. Similarly, in the structure as shown in FIG. 4, in the case that γ1 and γ2 respectively meet the above-described conditions, an effect that the brightness of the light emitted from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4 is ensured is achieved as well.
As shown in FIG. 5, the light emitted from the light source 3 is incident upon the light incident surface of the light incident structure 6 through the lens 2 in a direction parallel with the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1; an included angle between the light incident surface of the light incident structure 6 and the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 is θ, and the included angle θ meets the following relational expression:

in the case that the light areis incident upon the light guide plate 1 from the light incident structure 6.

For example, in order to enable the brightness of the light emitted from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4 to be uniform, the protrusions 4 gradually increase in density in a direction from one side close to the light source 3 to one side far away from the light source 3. As intensity of light far away from the light source 3 is smaller than that of light close to the light source 3, the density of protrusions 4 far away from the light source 3 is greater than that of protrusions close to the light source 3, so that light exiting far away from the light source 3 are increased, thus enabling the brightness of the light emitted from the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 to be uniform.
For example, in order to increase the brightness of the light emitted from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4, as shown in FIG. 6, a surface opposite to the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 is provided with a pit recessed towards the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1, and the pit is at least corresponding to a display region of a liquid crystal display panel 5. Thus, a transmission distance of the light in the light guide plate 1 is reduced, thereby reducing loss of the intensity of the light, and increasing the brightness of the light emitted from the light emission surfaces of the protrusions 4.
It should be noted that, in the backlight module according to the embodiments of the disclosure, in order to avoid that light is refracted on the region of the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 except the regions where protrusions are provided, and in order to avoid that the light exiting from the backlight module is not perpendicularly incident upon the liquid crystal display panel 5 due to the fact that the light is refracted on the surfaces for performing the first reflection on the light in the protrusions 4, it is required that the light is only reflected on the region of the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 except the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided and the light is only reflected on the surfaces for performing first reflection on the light in the protrusions 4, i.e., it is required that the above-described two reflections are both total reflection. There are multiple methods for realizing that the light is only reflected but not refracted on a surface, for example, the region of the light emission surface of the light guide plate 1 except the regions where the protrusions 4 are provided and the surfaces for performing the first reflection on the light in the protrusions 4 are provided with a reflection coating, as shown in FIG. 7, so that an effect that the light is only reflected but not refracted is also be achieved. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the methods for realizing that the light is only reflected but not refracted.
The embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an anti-peeping display device, and the anti-peeping display device comprises the backlight module according to the embodiments of the disclosure. As the anti-peeping display device comprises the backlight module according to the embodiments of the disclosure, light exiting from the backlight module is perpendicularly incident upon a liquid crystal display panel, and then perpendicularly exits from a front side of the liquid crystal display panel, which reduces a visual angle range of the liquid crystal display panel, thereby being easily to achieve an anti-peeping design of the anti-peeping display device. The anti-peeping display device has an anti-peeping effect without installing an anti-peeping film, and thus, a problem that the anti-peeping film reduces the brightness of the liquid crystal display panel cannot occur, and therefore, a display effect of the anti-peeping display device is improved without influencing the anti-peeping effect of the anti-peeping display device.
The anti-peeping display device for example is any product or component with a display function, such as a liquid crystal display panel, an electronic paper, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a display, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame or a navigator.
In the description of the above embodiments, the features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.
The foregoing embodiments merely are exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, and not intended to define the scope of the disclosure, and the scope of the disclosure is determined by the appended claims.
The present application claims priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201510294030.2 filed on Jun. 1, 2015, the present disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as part of the present application.
