The graphic layer 16 is stacked below the bottom surface 124 of the light guide plate 12. A pattern 16a (the outline projection of which is shown by a dotted line in fig. 1) is formed on the pattern layer 16. Light source 14 is controllably operable to generate light (the path of which is indicated by arrows) that enters light guide plate 12 through light entrance side 126. In the light guide plate 12, the light traveling toward the bottom surface 124 may be reflected by the pattern layer 16 (for example, the light exits the light guide plate 12 through the bottom surface 124, and is reflected by the pattern layer 16 to enter the light guide plate 12 again through the bottom surface 124), and further exits the light guide plate 12 through the light exit surface 122 to display the pattern 16a. Thereby, the user can see this figure 16a from outside the graphical display structure 1. In practical operation, the graphic display structure 1 may be disposed in a portable electronic device (such as but not limited to a notebook computer, a mobile device, etc.), and the graphic display structure 1 is integrated into the portable electronic device, so that the user can see the graphic 16a from the outside of the portable electronic device.

The operation of the light source 14 may also be controlled by the portable electronic device. In addition, in practical operation, light sources may be disposed on multiple sides of light guide plate 12 to increase uniformity of light, for example, light sources may also be disposed near the other light-incident side surface of light guide plate 12 opposite to light-incident side surface 126. In addition, in the embodiment, in order to simplify the drawing, each component of the graphic display structure 1 is represented by a simple geometric structure.
In the first embodiment, the pattern layer 16 includes a substrate 162 and a reflective pattern 164, and the reflective pattern 164 forms a pattern 16a. In practice, the reflective pattern 164 may be formed on the substrate 162 by printing, but not limited thereto. The reflective pattern 164 may reflect light to form the pattern 16a. Further, the substrate 162 may be light transmissive, such as, but not limited to, transparent. In practice, the graphics 16a may include outlines, colors (including monochrome, multi-color, gray scale), surface effects, etc., and may be realized by designing the material, texture, surface morphology, etc. of the printed reflective pattern 164. In addition, in practical operation, the pattern layer 16 may also form the pattern 16a by other methods, such as forming the reflective pattern 164 directly on the bottom surface 124.
In addition, in practical operation, the graphic display structure 1 may further include a protection cover 18 (shown in fig. 2 by a dashed frame) covering (the light-emitting surface 122 of) the light guide plate 12 for providing a protection function. In the case that the graphic display structure 1 is integrated into the portable electronic device, the protective cover 18 can be formed by splicing the casing of the portable electronic device or directly realized by the casing of the portable electronic device.

Compared to the pattern display structure 3, in the pattern display structure 5, the pattern layer 17 is stacked on the light emitting surface 122 of the light guide plate 12, and the lenticular lens 20 is stacked on the pattern layer 17. The pattern layer 17 is transparent and forms a pattern (e.g., similar to the pattern 16 a). In practice, the patterned layer 17 may include a transparent substrate 172 and a pattern 174, the pattern 174 forming the pattern. In practice, the pattern 174 may be formed on the substrate 172 by printing, but the practice is not limited thereto. Also, the pattern 174 may be opaque or may be formed by printing a transparent material. The lenticular lens 20 can refract light, and can display a three-dimensional pattern by matching with the design of the light-permeable pattern layer 17. A reflective sheet may be disposed under the light guide plate 12, or a reflective layer may be coated on the bottom surface 124 of the light guide plate 13 to increase the utilization rate of light in the light guide plate 12. In addition, in practical operation, the arrangement and the function of the protection cover 18 can be applied, and are not described herein.
The graphic display structures 1, 3, and 5 can be disposed in the portable electronic device during actual operation. For example, referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6, a portable electronic device 7 (in this embodiment, the portable electronic device is specifically, but not limited to, a notebook computer) having a graphic display structure is shown, and for convenience of description, the graphic display structure 1 is taken as an example. In practical operation, the graphic display structures 3 and 5 may also be applied to the portable electronic device (e.g. notebook computer) 7, which is not described in detail herein. For the related description of the graphic display structure 1 and its variations, please refer to the related description and drawings, which are not repeated herein. The portable electronic device (e.g. a notebook computer) 7 includes a display portion 72 and an input portion 74, wherein the display portion 72 is communicatively connected to the input portion 74. The display portion 72 includes a first housing 722 and a display screen 724 exposed on the first housing 722. The input portion 74 includes a second casing 742 and a user input interface 744 exposed from the second casing 742. The user input interface 744 includes, for example, a keyboard 744a and a touch sensor pad 744b for providing user key input and touch input. In practical applications, the graphic display structure 1 can be disposed on the display portion 72 or the input portion 74 to display the graphic 16a. The host system of the portable electronic device (e.g., a notebook computer) 7 can provide the power required by the light source 16 of the graphic display structure 1 and control the operation of the light source 16.
In the fourth embodiment, the graphic display structure 1 is disposed on the display portion 72. The display screen 724 is disposed on a first side (e.g., a front side) of the first housing 722, and the graphic display structure 1 is disposed on a second side (e.g., a back side) of the first housing 722, the second side being opposite to the first side. In practical operation, the graphic display structure 1 may be structurally integrated with the first housing 722 by means of splicing, or a part of the housing of the first housing 722 may be transparent and cover the light guide plate 12, and at this time, the transparent part of the housing is logically regarded as a part of the graphic display structure 1. This structural configuration facilitates a (second side of) first housing 722 to exhibit a planar effect. In addition, in practical applications, the graphic 16a may be a trademark of the portable electronic device (e.g. notebook computer) 7 or a design graphic corresponding to the model.
In practical operation, the graphic display structure 1 may also be disposed on the input portion 74, such as the portable electronic device (e.g. notebook computer) 7' shown in fig. 7. In the portable electronic device (e.g., a notebook computer) 7', the graphic display structure 1 is disposed on the second housing 742 of the input portion 74, and is located on the same side of the second housing 742 as the user input interface 744.

In the present embodiment, the graphic display structure 1 and the touch sensor panel 744b (shown as a single block) are stacked. For example, the touch sensing panel 744b is light transmissive and simply overlies the graphic display structure 1. The light transmittance of the touch sensor panel 744b can reduce or eliminate the influence on the display pattern 16a of the pattern display structure 1. This structure is advantageous for maintaining the sensing sensitivity of the touch sensing plate 744b, but not limited thereto in practical operation.
In addition, in the aforementioned graphic display structures 1, 3, and 5, the graphics (for example, the graphic 16 a) displayed by the graphic display structures 1, 3, and 5 are fixed, but in actual operation, the graphic layers 16 and 17 may also be designed to be changeable, such as a liquid crystal panel, an electronic paper, and the like, which can be controlled by the portable electronic device (for example, a notebook computer) installed therein, so as to increase the variety of graphic display (for example, selectively display different graphics, for example, matching different operation states of the portable electronic device); this graphic is different from the display of the portable electronic device in response to application programs and the display of images that interact with the user (e.g., data input, control input).
To sum up, the utility model discloses a figure display structure includes light guide plate, light source and graphic layer, and graphic layer superposes in the top or the below of light guide plate, and graphic layer can form a figure that can show with the help of the cooperation of light guide plate and light source, and by this, the user can see this figure from the outside of graphic display structure. In addition, the graphic display structure of the present invention can be disposed on a portable electronic device (e.g., a notebook computer), so that the portable electronic device (e.g., the notebook computer) can display a graphic via its display portion or input portion, and the casing of the portable electronic device (e.g., the notebook computer) can display the graphic and simultaneously can exhibit a plain effect when the light source is turned off. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all the equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
