BACKLIGHT MODULE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17768411 titled 'BACKLIGHT MODULE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an edge-lit backlight module that includes a light guide plate, at least one polarizer, and at least one light source. The polarizer is configured to convert light emitted from the light source into linearly polarized light for the light guide plate.

  • Light guide plate with side faces
  • Polarizer opposite to a side face of the light guide plate
  • Light source disposed on a side of the polarizer away from the light guide plate
  • Polarizer converts light emitted from the light source into linearly polarized light for the light guide plate

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in:

  • LCD displays
  • LED TVs
  • Automotive lighting systems

Problems Solved

  • Efficient light distribution
  • Improved brightness and contrast in displays

Benefits

  • Enhanced visual performance
  • Energy efficiency
  • Thin and lightweight design

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Display manufacturing companies
  • Automotive industry for lighting systems
  • Consumer electronics companies

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of polarizers and light guide plates in LCD displays and other lighting systems.
