High directional backlight using an integrated light guide plate

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

A high directional backlight system that combined a composite microstructure light guide plate (LGP) with a collimated light source was proposed for eco-displays. The collimated planar light was expanded from a point light source and guided towards the normal direction by utilizing the micro-prism array on LGP. High uniformity of spatial luminous, 91%, with a narrow viewing cone of ± 4° can be achieved without additional optical films. Moreover, compared to the conventional backlight, only 5% of power consumption was needed to keep the same luminance, hence, the optical efficiency increased by a factor of 1.47.
