Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a diffusing plate having excellent optical diffusibility and high uniformity, and is a three-dimensional structure for forming a surface of a plate into different shapes, using different surface of the plate The three-dimensional structure and the addition of different diffusing agents to change the traveling path of the light, uniformly disperse the light emitted by the cold cathode tube (CCFL) in the backlight module, and reduce the number of cold cathode tubes used to provide light. The effect of optical uniformity Φ is achieved after coming out of the light exit surface. [Prior Art] With the popularity of digital TV, liquid crystal displays have been highly valued and highly grown in the competition of displays in recent years. In liquid crystal displays, the image is driven by the switch of the electric field, and the liquid crystal panel itself does not emit light. The backlight module is used to provide the display light source. In general, the application is a direct-lit light source on a large-sized liquid crystal display. The direct-lit backlight can be designed to achieve high brightness and uniform light source by the increase of the lamp φ and the design of the diffusing element. In order to achieve the requirement of a uniform light source, the direct-lit backlight module uses a diffuser plate as an important component for evenly diverging light. The so-called diffuser plate is the main function of light diffusion. By using the type of light diffusing agent added and the difference in refractive index, the light is evenly distributed between the diffusing plates to evenly distribute the light. Quite a good result. However, although the early diffusion efficiency meets the requirements, the display is facing environmental protection and low cost, and it has not met the needs of use. In recent years, due to the high cost of cold cathode tubes and power converters, it has been able to meet the demand and reduce costs by reducing the number of lamps used and the expansion of the diffusing components. However, as the number of lamps is reduced, the number of gaps between the lamps is increased, and the resulting shading is more serious, and thus has a higher diffusion requirement, and is used in the expansion plate. A large number of light diffusing agents, at this time, the traces of the cold cathode tube are not, the political diffusion plate is homogenized, and the body diffusion behavior can not meet the demand. Only by changing the structure of the diffusion plate or the backlight module can the high degree and the high degree High diffusion requirements. ^ 'u • In addition, the effect of light diffusion is mainly achieved by the surface type of the optical diffuser or diffuser added to the diffuser. Therefore, adding a triangular pyramid-shaped prism on the light-emitting surface of the diffuser becomes a means for increasing the light-diffusing effect, but adding a uniform triangular pyramid-shaped prism on the diffuser plate can reconfigure the light to achieve the splitting effect. However, it does not contribute much to the shielding effect of the lamp. The design of the present invention is that the exit surface of the light is increased by a triangular prism structure, and each set of structures corresponds to the position and design of the lamp, and the light is changed by the refraction _ or reflection generated by the light beam. The path of advancement achieves the effect of scattering light. Moreover, the uniform incident light can be diffused by the addition and distribution of the light diffusing agent to meet the matching requirements of the backlight module. In the traditional diffuser design, the light diffusivity of the Tamar diffuser has been insufficient to shield the lamp, and the brightness of the entire backlight is reduced. In the present invention, the position of the lamp is in the triangular cone. The shape of the structure is changed by different angles and shapes, and the distribution of light can be uniformized, and the added light diffusing agent is used as the shielding of the bright mark of the lamp to achieve the purpose of improving uniformity. Λ 6 200809264 In view of this, the inventors have carefully studied and repeatedly tested and improved, and now finally invented a diffusing plate of high uniformity, which has the value of industrial use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a high uniformity diffusing plate, which provides a change in the traveling path of light in the diffusing plate, so that the behavior of the light emitting surface from the diffusing plate is changed, and the backlight module is matched. The light source and other components are designed with a triangular pyramid shape. The diffusing plate of the direct type backlight module is manufactured as a diffusing plate having a plurality of triangular pyramid surfaces (Prism Lens), and an incident light is split to increase the uniformity of light, and is disposed through a plurality of triangular pyramid surfaces. In the diffuser plate, the angle of the light in each direction is adjusted, thereby achieving the effect of rearrangement of the light source. The design of the triangular pyramidal mirror can also be determined according to the position and distance of the lamp tube. Each of the sequentially arranged triangular pyramidal mirrors corresponds to the adjacent distance of the cold cathode tube and the height between the diffusion plate and the triangle. The effect of the tapered prism design; in addition to the triangular pyramidal mirror, both sides of the board contain an appropriate amount of light diffusing agent to further disperse the light to make it uniform, thereby further shielding or scattering the light of the tube mark. In order to allow the reviewing committee to have a better understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following drawings: [Embodiment] The design of the present invention is based on the fact that the exit surface of the light is increased in a triangular shape. The structure of the lamp corresponds to the position and design of the lamp. The path of the light is changed by the refraction or reflection of the light through the prism to achieve the effect of scattering light, and can be added and distributed by the light diffusing agent. Diffusion of uniform incident light to meet the matching requirements of backlight module 7 200809264. = Fig. 1 and Fig. 1 to Fig. 1 show that a triangular pyramid-shaped prism structure is added to the exit surface plate of the diffusing plate of the present invention, and the prism is inserted into the middle and lower layers n, 12, 13 ' via coextrusion The die head combines the three layers of ' and then forms a triangular pyramid through the forming roller.

The upper, middle and lower layers of the three criminals and criminals are combined with the three-layer structure through the co-extrusion die and then formed into three by the forming roller.

Further, the above-mentioned prisms 10, 20, 30, 40 have a structure in which an ultraviolet light absorber can be further added. It may be added only to the upper layer 11, 21, 31, 41, or only to the lower layer 13, 23, 33, 43, or only to the middle layer 12, 22, 32, 42 or simultaneously to the upper and middle layers 11, 12, 21, 22, 31, 32, 41, 42, or simultaneously added to the middle and lower layers 12, 13, 22, 23, 32, 33, 42, 43 or simultaneously added to the upper and lower layers 11, 13, _ 21, 23 , 31, 33, 41, 43, or at the same time In the upper, middle and lower layers 1 Bu 12, 13, 2 Bu 22, 23, 3 Bu 32, 33, 4 Bu 42, 43 In practical applications, the advantages of the new design can be explained at least in the following sections: Environmental protection and the availability of cold cathode tubes and power converters are expensive and difficult to obtain. The new design can be modified by triangular pyramidal mirrors to reduce the amount of cold cathode tubes used, and can be adapted to: The light diffusing agent is added to disperse the light to achieve a uniform effect, thereby obscuring the phenomenon of uneven brightness caused by an increase in the distance between the lamps. As far as 9 200809264 is concerned, it does not increase the complexity of production and is easy to produce. Therefore, the new diffuser design has the advantage of improving the diffuser function and reducing costs. Example An EML-diffusing plate produced by Applicant Yingtai Technology was used to form a triangular pyramidal mirror on the illuminating surface and compared with EMS-. The interval of the triangular pyramidal prism is 〇.4mm, the angle of the prism is 110°, and the thickness of the upper surface layer is (K 1mm, the distance between the lamps is 30mm.

The new design can adjust the direction of light by changing the angle and distribution of the triangular pyramidal mirror, and adjust the amount of light diffusing agent on the surface of the sheet. The design of the product will be better than the traditional product. In addition, the diffusion effect of the light diffusing agent is not directional, it is the effect of irregular scattering, and the light using the triangular pyramidal mirror can be based on the backlight module.
