Polarization splitting backlight module
First Claim
1. A polarization splitting backlight module, comprising:
- a substrate having a ridged upper surface and a lower surface;
a scattering structure disposed on the lower surface of the substrate;
a phase retardation film of high reflectivity, disposed under the scattering structure;
an upper cover having a ridged lower surface, substantially complementary to the upper surface of the substrate and facing therewith, and an upper surface; and
a light source located at the lateral side of the substrate.

Abstract
A polarization splitting backlight module for efficiently emitting polarized light beams is disclosed. The polarization splitting backlight module of the present invention comprises a light source, an under plate, a substrate, a phase retardation reflective film, a scattering structure, a thin film and an upper cover. The light beams emitted from the non-polarized light source are introduced into the substrate, and after scattering, reflection, phase retardation and polarization splitting, the light beams will pass through the upper cover being of a single polarization state so as to be utilized by electro-optical systems, such as liquid crystal displays. The present invention converts light beams into a single polarization state, and thereby the efficiency of polarization splitting, as well as the brightness, are higher than that of a conventional backlight module.
