Patent ID: 8482699

Claim:
A backlight module comprising: a light guide plate comprising a top light-emitting surface and a light-incident side surface connected to the top light-emitting surface, the top light-emitting surface having a peripheral region and an effective illumination region, the peripheral region and the light-incident side surface being adjoined; a linear light source configured next to the light-incident side surface and comprising: a circuit board; a plurality of solid-state light-emitting devices configured on and electrically connected to the circuit board, the solid-state light-emitting devices being located between the circuit board and the light-incident side surface of the light guide plate, light emitted from each of the solid-state light-emitting devices entering the light guide plate from the light-incident side surface; and a reflector covering a portion of the peripheral region and comprising a plurality of first reflection parts and a plurality of second reflection parts, the first reflection parts corresponding to the solid-state light-emitting devices, each of the second reflection parts being connected to the two adjacent first reflection parts, each of the first reflection parts and each of the second reflection parts extending towards the effective illumination region from an edge of the top light-emitting surface, an extension length of each of the first reflection parts being shorter than an extension length of each of the second reflection parts.
