請參考圖1與圖2,首先,提供金屬基板110(步驟S100),其中金屬基板110的材料包括鐵、不鏽鋼、鋁、鋁合金,但本發明不限於此,金屬基板110亦可以使用其他能夠於後續的製程中承載其上的構件的適宜材料。在此,金屬基板110具有開口110a,且金屬基板110的厚度可以是任何適宜的厚度,本發明不加以限制。 Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. First, a metal substrate 110 is provided (step S100). The material of the metal substrate 110 includes iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and aluminum alloy, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The metal substrate 110 may also use other suitable materials that can support components thereon in subsequent processes. Here, the metal substrate 110 has an opening 110a, and the thickness of the metal substrate 110 may be any suitable thickness, which is not limited by the present invention.

請參考圖1與圖3,接著,於金屬基板110上形成反射層120(步驟S200),其中反射層120的材料包括高反射的樹脂材料、白色油墨等適宜材料,且反射層120例如是藉由塗布製程、噴塗製程或印刷製程接觸形成於金屬基板110的表面110t上,換句話說,金屬基板110與反射層120之間例如是不設置有其他膜層(如 黏著層或其類似者),但本發明不限於此。 Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3. Next, a reflective layer 120 is formed on the metal substrate 110 (step S200). The material of the reflective layer 120 includes a highly reflective resin material, white ink or other suitable materials, and the reflective layer 120 is formed on the surface 110t of the metal substrate 110 by, for example, a coating process, a spraying process or a printing process. In other words, no other film layer (such as an adhesive layer or the like) is disposed between the metal substrate 110 and the reflective layer 120, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

在本實施例中,反射層120的形成區域的邊緣120e與開口110a的邊緣110e具有一距離d,因此部分金屬基板110的表面110t被暴露出來,如此一來,後續的電路板130會配置於金屬基板110上被暴露出來的區域並與其直接接觸,因此可以更進一步縮減厚度,但本發明不限於此,在未繪示的實施例中,反射層120的形成區域的邊緣120e與開口110a的邊緣110e切齊,因此與開口110a相鄰的金屬基板110的表面110t沒有暴露出來,如此一來,後續的電路板130會配置於反射層120上並與其直接接觸。 In this embodiment, the edge 120e of the formation area of the reflective layer 120 is at a distance d from the edge 110e of the opening 110a, so that a portion of the surface 110t of the metal substrate 110 is exposed. In this way, the subsequent circuit board 130 will be arranged on the exposed area on the metal substrate 110 and directly contact it, so that the thickness can be further reduced. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In an embodiment not shown, the edge 120e of the formation area of the reflective layer 120 is aligned with the edge 110e of the opening 110a, so the surface 110t of the metal substrate 110 adjacent to the opening 110a is not exposed. In this way, the subsequent circuit board 130 will be arranged on the reflective layer 120 and directly contact it.

請參考圖1、圖4A至圖4C與圖5A至圖5C,形成反射層120之後,分別提供電路板130與多個發光元件140(步驟S300),且將電路板130、多個發光元件140、金屬基板110與其上的反射層120結合製作成側光式背光模組100(步驟S400)。據此,本發明預先將反射層120製作於金屬基板110上,不用額外形成反射片,因此可以降低側光式背光模組100的厚度並具有更好的散熱效果,且由於多個發光元件140沒有先接合在電路板130上,因此可以大幅降低組裝時的難易度,如此一來,可以藉由前述優化的製造方法降低製作難度,且其製造出來的側光式背光模組100亦可以符合薄型化與散熱等要求。在此,發光元件140例如是發光二極體(LED)。 1, 4A to 4C, and 5A to 5C, after forming the reflective layer 120, a circuit board 130 and a plurality of light-emitting elements 140 are provided (step S300), and the circuit board 130, the plurality of light-emitting elements 140, the metal substrate 110 and the reflective layer 120 thereon are combined to form a side-lit backlight module 100 (step S400). Accordingly, the present invention pre-forms the reflective layer 120 on the metal substrate 110, and does not need to form an additional reflective sheet, so the thickness of the side-lit backlight module 100 can be reduced and have a better heat dissipation effect. Since the multiple light-emitting elements 140 are not first bonded to the circuit board 130, the difficulty of assembly can be greatly reduced. In this way, the manufacturing difficulty can be reduced by the aforementioned optimized manufacturing method, and the manufactured side-lit backlight module 100 can also meet the requirements of thinness and heat dissipation. Here, the light-emitting element 140 is, for example, a light-emitting diode (LED).

在一些實施例中,由於散熱效果的改善,所以可以有效增加發光元件140的壽命,且亦可以提升發光亮度,但本發明不限 於此。 In some embodiments, due to the improvement of heat dissipation effect, the life of the light-emitting element 140 can be effectively increased, and the light brightness can also be improved, but the present invention is not limited to this.

在一些實施例中,反射層120的厚度至少小於60微米,因此相較於現行額外設置的反射片(厚度甚或可以達300微米以上)而言,確實可以有效降低整體結構的厚度,但本發明不限於此,反射層120的厚度可以依照實際設計上的需求而定。 In some embodiments, the thickness of the reflective layer 120 is at least less than 60 microns, so compared with the current additional reflective sheet (the thickness can even reach more than 300 microns), the thickness of the overall structure can be effectively reduced, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the thickness of the reflective layer 120 can be determined according to actual design requirements.

在一些實施例中,反射層120的厚度大於25微米,但本發明不限於此。 In some embodiments, the thickness of the reflective layer 120 is greater than 25 microns, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

由於現行的軟性電路板較薄(例如是0.1毫米),硬挺性較差,因此發光元件打件時常需要設置補強材料(補強材料例如是FR-4、PI膜、PET膜、(也包含複合式PI膜)、鐵、不鏽鋼、鋁、鋁合金、銅、銅合金等適宜材料,厚度例如是介於0.2毫米至0.3毫米之間),以增加軟性電路板的厚度與硬挺性,提升打件良率,然而,如此一來會導致散熱效果變差,而在本實施例中,電路板130是不具有補強材料的軟性電路板,如此一來,多個發光元件140的布設區域下方的電路板130中不具有補強材料,因此本實施例的降低側光式背光模組100於厚度與散熱效果上皆更具有優勢,但本發明不限於此,電路板130亦可以是軟硬結合板。 Since the current flexible circuit board is relatively thin (for example, 0.1 mm) and has poor stiffness, it is often necessary to set up reinforcing materials (reinforcing materials such as FR-4, PI film, PET film (including composite PI film), iron, stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper, copper alloy and other suitable materials, with a thickness of, for example, between 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm) when punching the light-emitting element to increase the thickness and stiffness of the flexible circuit board and improve the punching efficiency. Yield, however, this will lead to poor heat dissipation effect. In this embodiment, the circuit board 130 is a soft circuit board without reinforcing material. In this way, the circuit board 130 below the layout area of the plurality of light-emitting elements 140 does not have reinforcing material. Therefore, the reduced side-light backlight module 100 of this embodiment has advantages in thickness and heat dissipation effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the circuit board 130 can also be a hard-soft bonded board.

在一些實施例中,上述步驟S400更包括對金屬基板110進行成型製程(例如是藉由衝壓、拉伸或其類似製程),以使金屬基板110具有彎折部分110b(如圖8B與圖8C所示),且彎折部分110b包圍反射層120與部分電路板130(彎折部分110b可以對應至圖4A、圖5A、圖7A、圖8A的虛線位置)。 In some embodiments, the above step S400 further includes performing a forming process on the metal substrate 110 (for example, by punching, stretching or similar processes) so that the metal substrate 110 has a bent portion 110b (as shown in FIG. 8B and FIG. 8C), and the bent portion 110b surrounds the reflective layer 120 and a portion of the circuit board 130 (the bent portion 110b may correspond to the dotted line position of FIG. 4A, FIG. 5A, FIG. 7A, and FIG. 8A).

進一步而言,成型製程可以是如圖8A與圖8B所示,將金屬基板110凸出於反射層120與電路板130的部分彎折(例如是向上彎折),使電路板130具有的四個彎折部分110b,其中相鄰彎折部分110b之間可以具有縫隙(例如是藉由衝壓、成型、破孔及折邊製程所形成),但本發明不限於此,成型製程亦可以是如圖8C所示,彎折部分110b可以是使用衝壓、成型、破孔及引伸製程後形成一體成型結構,因此彎折部分110b具有R角且不具有如圖8B的縫隙,以更有效地減少漏光情形的發生。 Furthermore, the molding process may be as shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B, where the metal substrate 110 protruding from the reflective layer 120 and the circuit board 130 is bent (for example, bent upward), so that the circuit board 130 has four bent portions 110b, wherein adjacent bent portions 110b may have gaps (for example, formed by punching, molding, perforation and folding processes), but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the molding process may also be as shown in FIG. 8C, where the bent portion 110b may be formed into an integrated molding structure by punching, molding, perforation and drawing processes, so that the bent portion 110b has an R angle and does not have a gap as shown in FIG. 8B, so as to more effectively reduce the occurrence of light leakage.

在一實施例中,上述步驟S400的具體製作方式例如是經由圖6A、圖4A、圖5A的順序所製作,亦即如圖6A所示,可以先接合電路板130於金屬基板110的至少一側邊110s上(藉由黏著層132接合於金屬基板110上),但本發明不限於此,在未繪示的實施例中,可以先接合電路板130於反射層120的至少一側邊上(藉由黏著層132接合於反射層120上)。在此,黏著層132可以是熱固膠、感壓膠或任何其他適宜的黏著材料藉由塗佈、壓合或其他類似製程所形成,本發明不加以限制,且電路板130於開口110a側的部分可以由開口110a的內部延伸至開口110a的外部,且可以依照實際設計上的需求於外部進行折彎。 In one embodiment, the specific manufacturing method of the above-mentioned step S400 is, for example, manufactured in the order of FIG. 6A, FIG. 4A, and FIG. 5A. That is, as shown in FIG. 6A, the circuit board 130 can be first bonded to at least one side 110s of the metal substrate 110 (bonded to the metal substrate 110 via the adhesive layer 132), but the present invention is not limited to this. In an embodiment not shown, the circuit board 130 can be first bonded to at least one side of the reflective layer 120 (bonded to the reflective layer 120 via the adhesive layer 132). Here, the adhesive layer 132 can be a thermosetting adhesive, a pressure-sensitive adhesive or any other suitable adhesive material formed by coating, pressing or other similar processes, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The portion of the circuit board 130 on the side of the opening 110a can extend from the inside of the opening 110a to the outside of the opening 110a, and can be bent on the outside according to actual design requirements.

接著,接合電路板130之後,如圖4A所示,對金屬基板110執行成型製程,以使金屬基板110構成環繞空間,然後,如圖5A所示,接合多個發光元件140於電路板130上,且使多個發光元件140電性連接至電路板130,亦即在此製造流程中是先接合電 路板130再執行成型製程,但本發明不限於此。 Next, after the circuit board 130 is bonded, as shown in FIG4A , a molding process is performed on the metal substrate 110 so that the metal substrate 110 forms a surrounding space. Then, as shown in FIG5A , a plurality of light-emitting elements 140 are bonded to the circuit board 130 and the plurality of light-emitting elements 140 are electrically connected to the circuit board 130. That is, in this manufacturing process, the circuit board 130 is bonded first and then the molding process is performed, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

在另一實施例中,上述步驟S400的具體製作方式亦可以例如是經由圖7A、圖4A、圖5A的順序所製作,亦即如圖7A所示,先對金屬基板110執行成型製程,以使金屬基板110形成環繞空間,換句話說,執行成型製程時電路板130尚未配置於金屬基板110上,接著,如圖4A所示,形成環繞空間之後,接合電路板130於金屬基板110的至少一側邊110s上(在未繪示的實施例中,亦可以接合在反射層120的至少一側邊上),然後,如圖5A所示,接合多個發光元件140於電路板130上,且使多個發光元件140電性連接至電路板130,亦即在此製造流程中是先執行成型製程再接合電路板130。 In another embodiment, the specific manufacturing method of the above step S400 can also be manufactured in the order of FIG. 7A, FIG. 4A, and FIG. 5A, that is, as shown in FIG. 7A, the metal substrate 110 is first subjected to a molding process to form a surrounding space on the metal substrate 110. In other words, when the molding process is performed, the circuit board 130 has not yet been arranged on the metal substrate 110. Then, as shown in FIG. 4A, after the surrounding space is formed, , bonding the circuit board 130 to at least one side 110s of the metal substrate 110 (in an embodiment not shown, it can also be bonded to at least one side of the reflective layer 120), and then, as shown in FIG. 5A , bonding a plurality of light-emitting elements 140 to the circuit board 130, and making the plurality of light-emitting elements 140 electrically connected to the circuit board 130, that is, in this manufacturing process, the molding process is performed first and then the circuit board 130 is bonded.

應說明的是,儘管本文目前的圖式中的發光元件140皆只有設置於一個側邊110s上,但本發明不限於此,在未繪示的實施例中,發光元件140亦可以同時設置於二個、三個或四個側邊上,以電路電性連接所有發光元件140,藉以提升側光式背光模組100的均光效果,其中在該些實施例中,只會有一個使電路板130由內部延伸至外部的開口110a,以降低漏光的機率,但本發明不限於此。 It should be noted that although the light-emitting elements 140 in the current figures of this article are all arranged on only one side 110s, the present invention is not limited thereto. In embodiments not shown, the light-emitting elements 140 can also be arranged on two, three or four sides at the same time, and all the light-emitting elements 140 are electrically connected by circuits to enhance the light-homogenizing effect of the side-lit backlight module 100. In these embodiments, there is only one opening 110a that extends the circuit board 130 from the inside to the outside to reduce the probability of light leakage, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

在一些實施例中,電路板130於開口110a內的部分可以與金屬基板110具有間隙,亦即電路板130於開口110a內的部分可以不接觸金屬基板110,但本發明不限於此,在未繪示的實施例中,電路板130於開口110a內的部分與金屬基板110不具有間隙, 因此電路板130於開口110a內的部分可以是直接接觸金屬基板110。 In some embodiments, the portion of the circuit board 130 in the opening 110a may have a gap with the metal substrate 110, that is, the portion of the circuit board 130 in the opening 110a may not contact the metal substrate 110, but the present invention is not limited to this. In an embodiment not shown, the portion of the circuit board 130 in the opening 110a does not have a gap with the metal substrate 110, so the portion of the circuit board 130 in the opening 110a may directly contact the metal substrate 110.

在一些實施例中,發光元件140藉由表面黏著(Surface Mount Device,SMD)製程接合於電路板130上,但本發明不限於此,發光元件140亦可以藉由其他適宜的導電接著材料接合於電路板130上。 In some embodiments, the light-emitting element 140 is bonded to the circuit board 130 by a surface mount device (SMD) process, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the light-emitting element 140 can also be bonded to the circuit board 130 by other suitable conductive bonding materials.

在一些實施例中,上述側光式背光模組100的反射層120上還可以進一步設置導光板、稜鏡或其他背光模組的組件,其中該些組件的細節(如設置方式等)為所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者所知悉之技術,於此不再贅述。 In some embodiments, a light guide plate, a prism or other backlight module components may be further disposed on the reflective layer 120 of the side-lit backlight module 100, wherein the details of these components (such as the arrangement method, etc.) are technologies known to those with ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field and will not be elaborated here.

綜上所述,本發明預先將反射層製作於金屬基板上,不用額外形成反射片,因此可以降低側光式背光模組的厚度並具有更好的散熱效果,且由於多個發光元件沒有先接合在電路板上,因此可以大幅降低組裝時的難易度,如此一來,可以藉由前述優化的製造方法降低製作難度,且其製造出來的側光式背光模組亦可以符合薄型化與散熱等要求。 In summary, the present invention pre-fabricates the reflective layer on the metal substrate, and does not need to form an additional reflective sheet, so the thickness of the side-lit backlight module can be reduced and the heat dissipation effect can be better. Moreover, since the multiple light-emitting elements are not first bonded to the circuit board, the difficulty of assembly can be greatly reduced. In this way, the manufacturing difficulty can be reduced by the aforementioned optimized manufacturing method, and the manufactured side-lit backlight module can also meet the requirements of thinness and heat dissipation.

雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明的精神和範圍內,當可作些許的更動與潤飾,故本發明的保護範圍當視後附的申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 Although the present invention has been disclosed as above by the embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the attached patent application.
