面具有光學微結構。當光線進入導光板後,藉由光學微結 構之作用下,光線在導光板内進行反射,由出光面發光。 然而,由於導光板之光學微結構在製作上須要考量其 外型或材質等條件,否則,在光學微結構在製作上將導致 導光板之損壞。因此,導光板之光學微結構在製作上仍具 有一些限制需要突破。 【發明内容】 本發明揭露一種導光件及採用此導光件之背光模組, 用以提供光學微結構於呈彎曲狀之導光板上。 本發明揭露一種導光件及採用此導光件之背光模組, 用以提供面光源於呈彎曲狀之導光板上。 此種導光件包含一導光板、一可撓性光學膜及一黏合 膠層。導光板呈彎曲狀,具有一入光面、相對之一凸弧狀 出光面及一凹弧狀出光面。可撓性光學膜具有複數個光學 201202770 微結構。黏合膠層位於位於凸弧狀出光面及凹弧狀出光面 其中之一與可撓性光學膜之間,用以黏著固定可撓性光學 膜於導光板上。另外黏合膠層與導光板具有相同之折射 率。本發明之一實施例中,導光板呈c字形、u字形或波 浪形。 本發明之另一實施例中,此些光學微結構設置於可撓 性光學膜之兩對應面其中之一。 本發明之又一實施例中,此些光學微結構為複數個突 出部或凹入部。此些光學微結構為複數個印刷點或透鏡。 本發明之又一實施例中,可撓性光學膜為一軟性基 板。 本發明之又一實施例中,導光件更包括一反射層,反

微結構。使用者不需要考量導光板之外型或材質等無法製 作光學微結構的條件,或者需要額外更複雜之工藝或機器 設備來完成光學微結構的製作。也因為使用者不需要考量 導光板之外型或材質等無法製作光學微結構的條件,因 201202770 此,導光板之選擇也可朝大面積尺寸之方向進行。 【實施方式】 以下將以圖示及詳細說明清楚說明本發明之精神,如 熟悉此技術之人員在瞭解本發明之實施例後,當可由本發

[Prior Art] A conventional light guide plate has a light entrance surface and a light exit surface. The light incident surface is located on the side of the light guide plate at the thickness of the light guide plate, and the light exit surface is located on one side of the light guide plate. The light guiding mode of the light guide plate is to place the light source on the light incident surface, so that the light of the light source is introduced into the light guide plate from the light incident surface. Further, one side surface of the light guide plate has an optical microstructure. When the light enters the light guide plate, the light is reflected in the light guide plate by the optical micro-structure, and is emitted by the light-emitting surface. However, since the optical microstructure of the light guide plate needs to be considered in terms of its appearance or material, the optical microstructure may cause damage to the light guide plate. Therefore, there are still some limitations in the fabrication of the optical microstructure of the light guide plate. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention discloses a light guiding member and a backlight module using the light guiding member for providing an optical microstructure on a curved light guiding plate. The invention discloses a light guiding member and a backlight module using the light guiding member for providing a surface light source on a curved light guiding plate. The light guide comprises a light guide plate, a flexible optical film and an adhesive layer. The light guide plate has a curved shape, and has a light-incident surface, a convex arc-shaped light-emitting surface and a concave arc-shaped light-emitting surface. The flexible optical film has a plurality of optical 201202770 microstructures. The adhesive layer is located between one of the convex arc-shaped light-emitting surface and the concave arc-shaped light-emitting surface and the flexible optical film for adhering the flexible optical film to the light guide plate. In addition, the adhesive layer has the same refractive index as the light guide plate. In an embodiment of the invention, the light guide plate has a c-shape, a u-shape or a wave shape. In another embodiment of the invention, the optical microstructures are disposed on one of two corresponding faces of the flexible optical film. In still another embodiment of the invention, the optical microstructures are a plurality of protrusions or recesses. Such optical microstructures are a plurality of printed dots or lenses. In still another embodiment of the invention, the flexible optical film is a flexible substrate. In still another embodiment of the present invention, the light guiding member further includes a reflective layer, and the reflective layer is located on a side of the flexible optical film facing away from the light guiding plate. The reflective layer is a reflective sheet or a reflective coating. In still another embodiment of the present invention, the light guiding member further includes a reflective layer interposed between the reflective layer and the flexible optical film. The reflective layer is a reflective sheet or a reflective coating. In another embodiment of the present invention, the backlight module includes a light guide and a light source. The light source faces the light incident surface of the light guide plate to emit light into the light guide plate. Thus, the optical microstructure can be provided on the light guide plate by the light guide member of the present invention. The user does not need to consider the conditions of the light guide plate, such as the shape or material, which cannot be used to fabricate the optical microstructure, or the need for additional and more complicated processes or equipment to complete the fabrication of the optical microstructure. Also, since the user does not need to consider the conditions of the optical plate other than the type or material of the light guide plate, the selection of the light guide plate can also be made in the direction of the large area due to 201202770. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The spirit of the present invention will be clearly described in the following description and the detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, which can be modified and modified by the teachings of the present invention, The spirit and scope of the invention are not departed.

And projecting light into the light guide plate 200. When the light source 60 of the present invention is composed of one or more light-emitting diode 610 elements, it can have the advantages of small size, long service life, and power saving. Thus, when the light of the light source 600 enters the light guide plate 200, the light can be reflected by the optical microstructures 330 or refracted back into the light guide plate 200 by the adhesive layer 400, and light is emitted from the convex arc-shaped light exit surface 21〇. 5 is only an example of the light guide 100 of the flexible optical film 3 〇〇 located on the concave arc-shaped light-emitting surface 220. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the light guide 1 of the backlight module 700 of the present invention is not limited thereto. It can also be applied to an embodiment in which the flexible optical film 3 is located on the convex arc-shaped light-emitting surface 210. In still another embodiment of the present invention, one of the above-described backlight modules 7 can be applied to an electronic device. The electronic device of the present invention is not limited to one of a mobile phone, a video camera, a camera, a game machine, a watch, a music player, a display screen, a digital photo frame, and a lighting fixture. In summary, the 'light guide of the present invention can produce a suitable property by the flexible optical film', so that the flexible optical film having the optical microstructure can be flexibly fitted to the concave surface of the light guide plate, thereby The flexible optical film is fixed on the concave surface of the light guide plate to be regarded as one side of the light guide plate. In this way, the light guide member of the present invention can provide optical on the light guide plate without requiring the user to consider the condition of the light guide plate or the material or the material to prepare the fresh structure. microstructure.
