Description:
[0001]    This application claims the benefit of Taiwan Patent Application Serial No. 104100022, filed Jan. 5, 2015, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
       BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 
       [0002]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0003]    The invention relates to a direct light guide structure, a light guide plate and a back-lit module, and more particularly to the direct light guide plate and the back-lit light module that implement a direct light guide structure to achieve advantages in better uniformity of back lights, higher efficiency of luminance, fewer point-light sources required, lower cost, narrower side-frames and less thickness. 
         [0004]    2. Description of the Prior Art 
         [0005]    Currently, in the marketplace, back-lit modules for optical display devices can be mainly classified into a group of edge back-lit light guide plates and another group of direct back-lit light guide plates. The back-lit module of the edge back-lit light guide plate has a major disadvantage in emission efficiency. The reason for such a shortcoming is that plural light sources (particularly, LEDs, the point light sources) constructed on one lateral side surface of the light guide plate can only provide one half of the emission lights at most to penetrate the light-ejection surface of the light guide plate. However, on the other hand, the back-lit module of the conventional direct back-lit light guide plate can provide better emission efficiency. Actually, in the direct back-lit light guide plate, the light source (also particularly, LEDs, the point light sources) is directly constructed the other side of the surface of the light guide plate facing the light-ejection surface, and thus the light source is physically to emit at the light-ejection surface. Therefore, the back-lit module of the edge back-lit light guide plate presents much more serious problems in phenomena of light spots and dark spots. 
         [0006]    Referring now to  FIG. 1A  and  FIG. 1B , a thin direct back-lit module disclosed by Taiwan utility patent No. M462874 includes a plurality of LED light sources  0100  evenly distributed on the opposing side (bottom surface in the figure) of the light guide plate  0212  with respect to the light-ejection surface (top surface in the figure). On the light-ejection surface (top surface) of the light guide plate  0212 , a plurality of concave structures  0202  is included, and each f the concave structures  0202  is set to be disposed correspondingly one LED light source  0100  located on the bottom surface. Thereby, the concave structures  0202  can be used to reflect the rays emitted by the corresponding LED light source  0100 , such that uniformity of illumination can be obtained. However, in applying M462874, if the concave structures  0202  contribute a perfect total reflection, the visible region would meet a problem of central dark spotting, which requires a wavy surface structure or designed scratches to resort. Contrarily, if the total reflection is poor, then the visible region would meet a problem of light spotting. In this circumstance, the inclined contour of the concave structure  0202  shall be purposely to include two light segments with different slopes, and thus the surface is not smooth, the total reflection would be even poorer, the light loss would be high, and the manufacturing to produce such a contour for the concave structure  0202  would be more difficult. Thus, further improvement thereupon is definite. 
         [0007]    In the Japan Patent Publication No. JPA 2008078089, an LED illumination apparatus includes a plurality of LED light source to encircle the lower rim of the light guide plate, and concave structures are located at the upper rim thereof in correspondence with the LED light sources. However, similar technical shortcomings met in JPA 2008078089, as described in M462874, that the contour of the concave structure is not smooth, though continuous, for consisting a number of connected curve segments with at least two different curvatures. Definitely, the segmented contour can&#39;t present a satisfied total reflection and venerable to lose lights. 
         [0008]    In addition, in Taiwan Patent Publication No. TW 200925518, an illumination apparatus is to mount a plurality of LED light sources to the lower rim of the light guide plate, and to construct corresponding groove structures on the light guide plate. However, in TW 200925518, both lateral side of the groove structure are individually formed as respective straight lines with fixed slopes, and the slope of the groove bottom is zero. Thus, smoothness is not shown in the contour of the groove structure of TW 200925518. Similar to M462874, contour of the groove structure of TW 200925518 is though continuous, but not smooth, and can only contribute poor total reflection and is opt to lose lights.

         [0015]    In one embodiment of the present invention, the concave structure is an asymmetric concave structure having z01&gt;z02 and 3.5 mm≦z01≦7 mm. 
         [0016]    In one embodiment of the present invention, the at least one point-light source has a at least two point-light sources, these point-light sources are located under the light-injection surface of the light guide plate in a cluster manner by closing to one of lateral side of the light guide plate, these point-light sources being evenly distributed to the light-inject surface of the light guide plate by extending in a longitudinal direction of the lateral side and by closing to a lower portion of the lateral side, wherein the Y-Z cutting plane is perpendicular to both the lateral side and the light-ejection surface. 
         [0017]    In one embodiment of the present invention, a reflection plate is mounted to a lateral side surface of the lateral side right at a place corresponding to these point-light sources, the reflector plate reflecting light rays emitted by these point-light sources totally back to the light guide plate.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0039]    The invention disclosed herein is directed to a direct light guide structure, a light guide plate and a back-lit module. In the following description, numerous details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that variations of these specific details are possible while still achieving the results of the present invention. In other instance, well-known components are not described in detail in order not to unnecessarily obscure the present invention. 
         [0040]    Refer now to  FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4 ; where  FIG. 2  is a schematic top view of an embodiment of the back-lit module having the direct light guide structure in accordance with the present invention,  FIG. 3  is a cross sectional view of  FIG. 2  along line A-A, and  FIG. 4  demonstrates schematically three views upon the asymmetric concave structure of  FIG. 2 , in an enlarged perspective view, a cross sectional view along line A-A and a cross sectional view along line B-B. 
         [0041]    The light guide plate  20  formed as a broad thin plate structure has a top surface  21 , a bottom surface  22  and four small thin slender lateral surfaces  23 ,  24 ,  25 ,  26  connecting the top surface  21  and the bottom surface  22 . In this embodiment, the top surface  21  of the light guide plate  20  is defined as the light-ejection surface. A plurality of point-light sources  30  is mounted beneath the bottom surface  22  (defined as the light-injection surface) of the light guide plate  20  and is to emit lights vertically upward to irradiate the light-ejection surface  21 . In the present invention, the plurality of point-light sources  30  is constructed preferably as a plurality of LED point-light sources. One of major features of the present invention is that these point-light sources  30  are not evenly or uniformly distributed over the bottom surface  22  of the light guide plate  20 , but mounted beneath the bottom surface  22  of the light guide plate  20  in a cluster manner by closing to a specific lateral side surface  231  (as shown in  FIG. 4 , the left lateral side  23 ). The point-light sources  30  are evenly distributed to the bottom surface  22  of the light guide plate  20  by extending in the longitudinal direction of the lateral side surface  231  and by closing to the left-hand-side lateral side  23 . Namely, these point-light sources  30  are distributed in an equal-space manner under the bottom surface  22  by closing to the lateral side surface  231 . In addition, a reflection plate  40  is mounted to the lateral side  23  right at the place corresponding to each of the point-light sources  30  on the lateral side surface  231 . By providing the reflector plate  40 , the light rays emitted by these point-light sources  30  and toward the reflector plate  40  can be totally reflected back to the interior of the light guide plate  20 , such that possible light loss at the lateral side  23  having the reflector plate  40  can be substantially avoided. Further, on the rest of the bottom surface  22  of the light guide plate  20  other than those having the point-light sources  30 , a plurality of micro structures  221  are constructed all over the entire bottom surface  22  of the light guide plate  20 . At the places on the top surface  21  (the light-ejection surface) of the light guide plate  20  that account respectively for the point-light sources  30  on the bottom surface  22  (i.e., the places on the top surface  21  (the light-ejection surface) of the light guide plate  20  that are close to the lateral side surface  231 , or the places at the lateral side  23  by closing to the reflector plates  40 ), corresponding asymmetric light guide structures  211  are individually constructed. Configuration curves for establishing each of the asymmetric light guide structures  211  are specifically derived by the following configuration curve equations provided by the present invention. The emitted light ray of the point-light source  30  is directed upward to approach the asymmetric light guide structure  211 , and generates an incident angle at the asymmetric light guide structure  211 , in which the incident angle is larger than the corresponding total reflection angle so as to achieve the total reflection. Hence, light rays won&#39;t leak from top portions of the asymmetric light guide structure  211 . Namely, the asymmetric light guide structure  211  would have light rays of the point-light sources  30  to irradiate the visible region  210  in a uniform and more efficient manner. Since the opening of the asymmetric light guide structure  211  has different radii and thickness in the −Y and +Y directions, better optical performance and back-light efficiency can be obtained. While the aforesaid light guide plate  20  of the direct light guide structure is applied to form a back-lit module  10 , the area having the asymmetric light guide structure  211  and the point-light sources  30  can be covered by the side frames so as to avoid the light loss caused by manufacturing errors or the dark spots caused by excessive total reflection, such that the optical performance in the visible region can be homogeneous and the mixing of light rays from these point-light sources  30  can display no significant dark spots or light spots (i.e., hot spots). 
         [0042]    In the present invention, the point-light source  30  is a type of direct illumination. The asymmetric light guide structure  211  is located on the top surface  21  (the light-ejection surface) of the light guide plate  20  by closing to the reflector plate  40 , and is shaped as a cavity with asymmetric sidewall contours. For example, as shown in the figures, the curvatures of the sidewalls, the radii of the cavity at the opening and the thickness thereof are not identical to the shaping curves of the cavity in the −Y (left in the figures) and the +Y (right in the figures) directions. In this embodiment, the −Y direction is the direction of the lateral side  23  that mounting the reflector plate  40 , while the +Y direction is the direction away from the reflector plate  40 . The asymmetric light guide structure  211  of the present invention is consisted of at least one functional curve (i.e. for the shaping curve). A critical angle (θc) for the light ray able to across the interface of the light guide plate  20  and the atmosphere is determined by the refractive index of the material made of the light guide plate  20 . By providing the shaping curve design for the asymmetric light guide structure  211 , the incident angle of the light ray at the asymmetric light guide structure  211  would be larger than the critical angle (θc), and thus the total reflection can be achieved. As shown in  FIG. 4 , since θc=sin−1 (1/n), so the critical angle (θc) would be around 39.8° ˜39.6° for the material of the light guide plate  20  to be the MS with a refractive index of about 1.56˜1.57. In addition, in the case that the material of the light guide plate  20  is the PMMA with a refractive index of about 1.49, then the critical angle (θc) is about 42.2°. Further, in the case that the material of the light guide plate  20  is the PC with a refractive index of about 1.55, then the critical angle (θc) is about 40.2°. Furthermore, in the case that the material of the light guide plate  20  is the PS with a refractive index of about 1.58, then the critical angle (θc) is about 39.3°. Upon such an arrangement in shaping the asymmetric light guide structure  211 , it is found that no significant light loss and light spots can be located on top of the asymmetric light guide structure  211  with different left and right concave structures. Also, the corresponding coupling efficiency would be improved, and most of the light rays would be propagated inside the light guide plate  20 , so that the optical performance in the visible region  210  can be uniform and energy loss due to excessive total reflection can be reduced. Also, possible light emission of the total-reflected rays from the asymmetric light guide structure  211  can be avoided, and the ability to guide lights can be improved. The deflected light rays that hit the micro structures  221  would break the total reflection inside the light guide plate  20 , and thus part of the light rays would leave the light guide plate  20  via crossing the light-ejection surface (the top surface  21 ). By varying the depth, density and diameter of the micro structures  221  mounted on the bottom surface  22  of the light guide plate  20 , the uniformity in the entire visible region  210  can be optimal. In the present invention, the light-ejection surface (the top surface  21 ) of the light guide plate  20  are all visible region  210  except the area close to the asymmetric light guide structures  211 . 
         [0043]    In the present invention, an X-Y-Z orthogonal coordinate system is defined on the light guide plate  20 . The Z direction is defined as the thickness direction of the light guide plate  20 ; namely, the direction from the bottom surface  22  to the top surface  21 . The X direction and the Y direction are both extended over the bottom surface  22 . in particularly, the X direction is parallel to the extending direction of the lateral side surface  231 . Namely, these point-light sources  30  are evenly distributed in the extending direction of the lateral side surface  231  or in the X direction on the bottom surface  22  of the light guide plate  20  by closing to the lateral side surface (left lateral side  23 ). 
         [0044]    As shown in  FIG. 4  and  FIG. 5 , in the present invention, each of the asymmetric concave structures  211  has a central lowest point  212  at a place corresponding to the point-light source  30  that is mounted right below the central lowest point  212 . The central lowest point  212  is connected to the light-ejection surface (the top surface  21 ) by continuous configuration so as to form a cavity on the top surface  21  with the central lowest point  212  as the deepest point of the cavity. In  FIG. 2 , the cross sectional line A-A is defined on a Y-Z cutting plane crossing the central lowest point  212  of the asymmetric concave structure  211 . The configuration of the asymmetric concave structure  211  on the cutting plane is clearly shown in  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 5 , and can be expressed by the following equations. 
         [0000]        Z 1( y )= z 01− a 1*exp(−| y|/t 1), for − r 01&lt; y&lt; 0;  Equation 1:
 
         [0000]        Z 2( y )= z 02− a 2*exp(−| y|/t 2), for 0&lt; y&lt;r 02;  Equation 2:
 
         [0045]    In these two equations, z01 and z02 are the maximal thicknesses for the both bands of the cavity (i.e. the maximal thicknesses for the lateral portion and the main plate portion, respectively). It is shown in  FIG. 5  that the main plate portion is in the +Y direction, while the lateral portion is in the −Y direction. The a1 and a2 are the maximal depths to the central lowest point  212  from tops of the lateral portion and the main plate portion, respectively. The t1 and t2 are the variables for the configurations of the asymmetric concave structure at the lateral portion and the main plate portion, respectively. The r01 and r02 are the radii of the cavity with respect to the Z axis passing the central lowest point  212  for the configurations of the asymmetric concave structure at the lateral portion and the main plate portion, respectively. The Z1(y) expressed as a thickness variable defines the configuration curve for the asymmetric concave structure  211  at the lateral portion, while the Z2(y) expressed also as a thickness variable defines the configuration curve for the asymmetric concave structure  211  at the main plate portion; in which y is a real number ranging between −r01 and r02. 
         [0046]    In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, 0.7≦t1≦1.5, 0.7≦t2≦1.5, 3 mm≦z02&lt;7 mm, 3.5 mm≦z01≦7 mm, 67%≦(a2/z02)&lt;100% and z01&gt;z02. It has been proved by several optical simulations with different parameter and/or variable combinations that the aforesaid Equation 1 and Equation 2 provided by the present invention with the aforesaid feasible ranges for parameters can propose the configuration curves for the asymmetric concave structure to achieve the optimal optical performance. Details thereabout would be elucidated as follows. 
         [0047]    In the present invention, if each of the shaping curves (same as the configuration curves) for the individual asymmetric concave structure  211  is defined according to the Equation 1, the Equation 2 and the feasible parameter ranges, then the resulted cavity would have a light-loss percentage ≦10% with respect the point-light source  30 . (Note that a smaller value in the light-loss percentage is better.) 
         [0048]    In the following description, several examples with different parameter combination within the feasible parameter ranges are raised to demonstrate the advantage of the aforesaid Equation 1 and Equation 2 in designing the shaping curves (the configuration curves) for the asymmetric concave structure  211  of the present invention, especially for the advantages in the light-loss percentage. 
         [0049]    Referring now to  FIG. 6A , a schematic view of a light ray path for the situation of z01=z02 for the asymmetric concave structure  211  in accordance with the present invention is shown. In the figure, in the case of z01=z02 for the asymmetric concave structure  211 , the left-hand-side configuration curve (the lateral portion in the −Y direction) and the right-hand-side configuration curve (the main plate portion in the +Y direction) would be the same. At this time, the light ray emitted by the point-light source  30  would irradiate the reflector plate  40  directly, and then would be reflected by the reflector plate  40  (defined as a lateral deflected light ray). The lateral deflected light ray would be easier to cross the left-hand-side configuration curve of the asymmetric concave structure  211  so as to form a light-loss phenomenon. In this example, the light-loss percentage is relative high, and the optical performance is poor. Thus, the asymmetric curve design for achieving the asymmetric concave structure  211  of the present invention can provide better optical paths and better incident angles so as to improve the symmetric concave structure in light-loss percentage. 
         [0050]    Referring now to  FIG. 6B , a schematic view of a light ray path for the situation of z01&gt;z02 for the asymmetric concave structure  211  in accordance with the present invention is shown. In the figure, in the case of z01&gt;z02 for the asymmetric concave structure  211 , the left-hand-side configuration curve (the lateral portion in the −Y direction) and the right-hand-side configuration curve (the main plate portion in the +Y direction) are shown to present the “asymmetric” concave structure. At this time, the light ray emitted by the point-light source  30  would irradiate the reflector plate  40  directly, and then would be reflected by the reflector plate  40  (defined as a lateral deflected light ray R1′). The incident angle for the R1′ at point (y3,Z(y3)) would meet the following mathematical equation. 
         [0000]      90°−φ 2 −φ 1 =90°−tan −1 ( Z ( y   3 )/ y   3 )−tan −1 (1/ Z ( y   3 )&gt;sin −1 (1/ n )
 
         [0051]    In the present invention, the left-hand-side configuration curve at the lateral portion of asymmetric concave structure  211  shall satisfy the requirement that the reflected light ray from the reflector plate  40  at the lateral side  23  of the light guide plate  20  would meet a total reflection at the configuration curve for the asymmetric concave structure  211  in the lateral portion of the light guide plate  20 . Namely, the aforesaid 1 st -order geometric optical relationship shall be satisfied. That is the incident angle of the light ray at the configuration curve of the asymmetric concave structure  211  in the lateral portion of the light guide plate  20  should be larger than the critical angle. 
         [0052]    Referring now to  FIG. 7 , a schematic view of a 32″ back-light display panel having the direct light guide structure in accordance with the present invention is shown. The direct light guide structure is applied to a 32″ back-light display panel. By having this 32″ LCD panel as an example of the back-lit module, according to the technique of the direct light guide structure disclosed in this present invention, only 10 pieces of the high-power LEDs are needed, and the A/P ratio=8/63.6=0.126. Hence, the necessary width of the side frame for providing satisfied optical performance can be comparatively smaller. On the other hand, the 32″ back-lit module of the edge back-lit light guide plate would require more high-power LEDs to achieve the same optical performance. Generally speaking, by having the same illumination performance of a 32″ back-lit module, the direct light guide structure according to the present invention would need only ⅙˜⅔ of the high-power LEDs than the conventional edge light guide structure. In addition, the phenomenon of light spots (or hot spots) can be significantly reduced by applying the present invention, also the width of the side frame can be made smaller, the AJP ratio would be extremely small, the thickness would be reduced to a thin scale, and the optical performance in the direct visible region would be homogeneous. 
         [0053]    Referring now to  FIG. 8A ,  FIG. 8B  and  FIG. 8C , the configuration curves of the asymmetric concave structure, the incident angles of non-optical axial rays and the incident angle of lateral reflected rays for the direct light guide structure of the present invention by applying parameters of Table 1 to Equation 1 and Equation 2 are shown, respectively.

         [0054]    In Table 1 through Table 6, Ex01˜Ex12, Ex19, Ex25˜Ex36 stand for embodiments numbered by the tailing numbers, in which z01=z02 in Ex19 implies a symmetric con cave structure that the thicknesses of the light guide plate and the configuration curves for the left-hand-side of the concave structure  211  (−Y, lateral portion) and for the right-hand-side of the concave structure  211  (+Y, main plate portion) are the same. This embodiment can be a basic reference (i.e. the control experiment) for the other embodiments in comparing the light-loss percentage. In Table 1, by plugging z01, t1, a1, z02, t2 and a2 of each embodiment into Equation 1 and Equation 2, then the configuration curves of the concave structure  211  of the light guide plate  20  for the −Y lateral portion and the +Y main plate portion (referred to  FIG. 5 ) can be derived. The respective configuration curves for Table 1 are plotted in  FIG. 8A . As long as the configuration curves as shown in  FIG. 8A  are obtained for the concave structure  211  in the A-A cross section, the curved configurations for the other cross sections of the concave structure  211  can be derived by proportional increments to the curved configuration at A-A cross section. Thus, the entire cavity of the concave structure  211  on the top surface of the light guide plate  20  can be obtained. As shown in  FIG. 4 , the maximal thicknesses of the concave structure  211  at the B-B cross section in the +X and −X directions would be both equal to (z01+z02)/2, and the rest may be inferred by analogy. 
         [0055]    In Table 1, the column of predicted incident angle indicates whether the incident angle of the emitted light ray toward the light guide plate  20 , from the point-light source  30 , at the curved configuration of the concave structure  211  on the top surface of the light guide plate  20  in the +Y main plate portion is greater than the critical angle θc or not. (For example, the critical angle (θc) would be about 40.2° for the light guide plate  20  made of the PC material having a refractive index of about 1.55.) In this column, “◯” implies that the incident angle is larger than the critical angle, and thus total reflection would occur. On the other hand, “X” in this column implies that the incident angle is smaller than the critical angle, and thus light-loss phenomenon would occur. Further, the column “predicted lateral-reflected incident angle” indicates whether the incident angle of the reflected light ray toward the light guide plate  20 , from the reflector plate  40 , at the curved configuration of the concave structure  211  on the top surface of the light guide plate  20  in the −Y lateral portion is greater than the critical angle θc or not. Similarly, in this “predicted lateral-reflected incident angle” column, “◯” implies that the incident angle is larger than the critical angle, and thus total reflection would occur. On the other hand, “X” in this column implies that the incident angle is smaller than the critical angle, and thus light-loss phenomenon would occur. The column “light-loss percentage %” in Table 1 is the ratio of the light rays that cross the curved configurations of the concave structure  211  to the total light rays emitted upward by the point-light source  30 , by computer simulations. 
         [0056]    From Table 1, it is noted that, as z01&gt;z02, each of the light-loss percentages for Ex25, Ex26, Ex27, Ex28 is significantly smaller than the light-loss percentage for Ex19 (z01=z02), no matter how the curve variable t1 is. Apparently, in the asymmetric concave structure  211  (z01&gt;z02), for an example of z02=3 mm and z01≧3.5 mm, a smaller (and thus better) light-loss percentage than that of the “symmetric” concave structure can be obtained. However, even for z01&gt;z02, if t1≧1.5, then an “X” (standing for less qualified) would appear to the corresponding “predicted incident angle” column and/or the “predicted lateral-reflected incident angle” column. Hence, t1 ought to be preferably ranged between 0.7 and 1.4, i.e. 0.7≦t1≦1.4. 
         [0057]    Referring now to  FIG. 9A ,  FIG. 9B  and  FIG. 9C , the configuration curves of the asymmetric concave structure, the incident angles of non-optical axial rays and the incident angle of lateral reflected rays for the direct light guide structure of the present invention by applying parameters of Table 2 to Equation 1 and Equation 2 are shown, respectively.

         [0058]    In Table 2, as z01&lt;z02, the light-loss percentages for Ex29, Ex30, Ex31, Ex32 are all significantly larger than that of Ex19, and “X” s are shown to all columns of “predicted incident angle” and “predicted lateral-reflected incident angle”. Hence, as z01&lt;z02, the optical performance is poor.

         [0060]    In Table 3, by having Ex27 as the control experiment, as z01 is gradually increased to 7.7 mm (over 7 mm), then the corresponding light-loss percentage is significantly increased to 23.7%, and the “predicted incident angle” column is filled with an unqualified “X”. Hence, as z01&gt;7 mm, the optical performance is poor. Thus, in the present invention, 3.5 mm≦z01≦7 mm is preferable. 
         [0061]    In the aforesaid embodiments of the direct back-lit light guide plate in accordance with the present invention, the asymmetric concave structure of the direct light guide structure is located on the top surface of the light guide plate and shaped as an asymmetric cavity. The curvatures of the shaping curves, the radii of the opening and the thicknesses of the asymmetric concave structure in the −Y lateral portion and in the +Y main plate portion are all non-identical. Upon such an arrangement, better optical performance can be provided over the conventional design. The asymmetric concave structure of the direct light guide structure is consisted of at least one functional curve (for example, Equation 1 and Equation 2). Preferably, the asymmetric concave structure is formed by connecting curves with continuous-varying curvatures. According to the present invention, while the light ray of the point-light source hits the asymmetric concave structure, the corresponding incident angle would be larger than the critical angle, so that the light ray would experience at least one total reflection by the asymmetric concave structure without directly crossing the asymmetric concave structure. Thereby, the light ray inside the light guide plate would be efficiently propagated to the far ends thereinside, such that light loss or light spots over the asymmetric concave structure would be substantially avoided. Also, the coupling efficiency would be improved. In the present invention, the top surface and the bottom surface of the light guide plate are largely parallel to each other. The top surface and/or the bottom surface of the light guide plate may include a plurality of concave or convex micro structures. By adjusting the density and the shape of these micro structures, an optimal optical performance can be obtained. For example, the micro structures can be arranged in a radiation manner having a smaller density and a narrower region close to the asymmetric concave structure and a larger density and a broader region far away the asymmetric concave structure, such that uniformity in optical performance can be obtained. In the present invention, the micro structure can be shaped as a line segment, a point; or any regular or irregular-shaped convex or concave structure. Alternatively, the micro structures can be paints printed on the top surface and/or the bottom surface of the light guide plate. 
         [0062]      FIG. 11  demonstrates schematically three views upon another light guide structure of the direct back-lit light guide plate in accordance with the present invention, in an enlarged perspective view, a cross sectional view along line A-A and a cross sectional view along line B-B. In this embodiment, except for the aforesaid convex or concave round point-shaped micro structures  221  on the bottom surface, the top surface (i.e. the light-ejection surface) of the light guide plate can further include a plurality of protrusive slender micro structures  215 . In this embodiment, these slender micro structures  215  are extended in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the reflector plate  40 , and these round point-shaped micro structures  221  and these slender micro structures  215  are all located on the light guide plate at respective places without the asymmetric concave structures  211  or the point-light source  30 . Namely, these micro structures  221  and  215  are constructed only in the visible region. 
         [0063]    Referring now to  FIG. 12A  and  FIG. 12B , two different light ray paths in the non-optical axial state with respect to the direct light guide structure of the present invention are schematically shown, respectively. Ideally, the point-light source  30  of the present invention shall be a volume-less point light source. However, in reality, the point-light source  30  is precise an LED light source with a diameter (or lateral-side length) ranging about 1˜2 mm. Therefore, the light rays emitted by the point-light source  30  are not all originated and radiate from the center point of the point-light source  30 , but are actually originated and radiate from the entire point-light source  30  with a substantial volume. Theoretically, the light rays emitted from the point-light source  30  other than the center point thereof belong to the non-optical axial optics. As shown in  FIG. 12A , for the light ray emitted from the right end of the point-light source  30  and propagating in the +Y direction to hit the curved configuration of the concave structure in the +Y main plate portion, if the total reflection is desired, the following mathematical equation shall be met. 
         [0064]    The incident angle of the light ray R1′ at the point (y1,Z(y1)) shall meet: 
         [0000]      90°−φ′ 1 +φ 2 =90°−(φ 1 +σ)+φ 2 =180°−tan −1 ( Z ( y   1 )/ y   1 )−tan −1 (1/ Z ′( y   1 )−σ&gt;sin −1 (1/ n )
 
         [0065]    in which φ′ 1 =tan −1 (Z(y 1 )/(y 1 −d/2)), and σ=φ′ 1 −φ 1 . 
         [0066]    As shown in  FIG. 12B , for the light ray emitted from the right end of the point-light source  30  and propagating in the −Y direction to hit the curved configuration of the concave structure in the +Y main plate portion, if the total reflection is desired, the following mathematical equation shall be met. 
         [0000]      φ 2 −(90°−φ′ 1 )=−90°+φ 1 +φ 2 &gt;sin −1 (1/ n )
 
         [0067]    Referring now to  FIG. 12C , a light ray path in the optical axial state with respect to the direct light guide structure of the present invention is schematically demonstrated. By comparing to the point-light source in the non-optical axial optics, the point-light source in  FIG. 12C  is assumed to be volume-less, and the light rays can only be emitted and radiate from the center point of the point-light source  30 . At this time, the optical axial optics prevails. As shown in  FIG. 12C , for the light ray emitted from the center point of the point-light source  30  to hit the curved configuration of the concave structure in the +Y main plate portion, if the total reflection is desired, the following mathematical equation shall be met. 
         [0068]    The incident angle of the light ray R1 at the point (y1,Z(y1)) shall meet: 
         [0000]      90°−φ 1 +φ 2 =180°−tan −1 ( Z ( y   1 )/ y   1 )−tan −1 (1/ Z ′( y   1 ))&gt;sin −1 (1/ n )
 
         [0069]    in which φ 1 =tan −1 (Z(y 1 )/y 1 ) and φ 2 =90°−tan −1 (1/Z′(y 1 )) 
         [0070]    In the present invention, the configuration curve design shall fulfill the total reflection criteria while the emitted light ray of the point light source hits the surface of the light guide plate. The corresponding equations satisfy the above first order geometric optical relationship, i.e. the incident angle of the light ray R1 on the main plate portion shall be larger than the critical angle. 
         [0071]    As shown in the preceding  FIG. 8B ,  FIG. 9B  and  FIG. 10B  and the following  FIG. 14C ,  FIG. 15C  and  FIG. 16C , i.e. in considering the non-optical axial optics, the relationships between the incident angles of non-optical axial rays computed by plugging respective parameters into Equation 1 and Equation 2 and the critical angles are schematically shown. 
         [0072]    Referring now to  FIG. 13 , a curved configuration of a symmetric concave structure for the direct light guide structure in accordance with the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the symmetric concave structure on the top surface  22  of the light guide plate  20  is formed on the Y-Z plane crossing the central lowest point of the concave structure. It is shown that both curved configurations of the concave structure are formed as symmetric convex arc curves with respect to the Z axis passing the central lowest point of the concave structure. In the coordinate system, these two configuration curves can be treated as two curves originated at the same point y=0 on the Y-Z plane. Z1(y) and Z2(y) are defined as the distance variables between the respective configuration curves to the line of the bottom surface  21  of the light guide plate  20 , in which Z1 is in the −Y lateral portion and Z2 is in the +Y main plate portion. 
         [0073]    The symmetric curved configurations of the concave structure on the Y-Z plane can be expressed by the following function. 
         [0000]        Z 1( y )= Z 2( y )= z 0− a 1*exp(−| y|/t 1) for − r 0&lt; y&lt;r 0  Equation 3:
 
         [0074]    in which z0 is the maximal thickness of the light guide plate  20 , a1 is the maximal depth of the concave structure, t1 is the curve-varying variable for the concave structure, and r0 is the radius of the opening of the concave structure, 
         [0075]    Referring now to  FIG. 14A ,  FIG. 14B  and  FIG. 14C , the configuration curves of the asymmetric concave structure, the incident angles of non-optical axial rays and the incident angle of lateral reflected rays for the direct light guide structure of the present invention by applying parameters of Table 4 to Equation 3 are demonstrated, respectively.
