- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a compoundoptical film 100, according to the first embodiment, is used in a backlight module. The compoundoptical film 100 includes alight guide layer 10, a lightreflective layer 20, andlight scattering particles 30. - The
light guide layer 10 includes alight incident surface 11, alight emitting surface 12, and afirst contact surface 13. Thelight emitting surface 12 adjoins to thelight incident surface 11. Thefirst contact surface 13 faces thelight emitting surface 12 and adjoins thelight incident surface 11. - The
light guide layer 10 is made of a light-permeable material, which is usually used to make light guide plates, such as PMMA(Polymethyl Methacrylate), COP(Cocio Olefines Polymers), and PC(Polycarbonate). In the embodiment, thelight guide layer 10 is comprised of PMMA. - The light
reflective layer 20 includes asecond contact surface 21 and abottom surface 22 opposite to thesecond contact surface 21. Thesecond contact surface 21 is corresponding with thefirst contact surface 13 of thelight guide layer 10. The lightreflective layer 20 and thelight guide layer 10 are laminated together to form a whole body in a manner that thefirst contact surface 13 and thesecond contact surface 21 are adhered to each other. The lightreflective layer 20 is made of high-reflectance materials. In present embodiment, the lightreflective layer 20 is comprised of PET(polyethylene terephthalate). Light is transmitted into thelight guide layer 10 from thelight incident surface 11, then is reflected by the lightreflective layer 20, and finally exits out of thelight guide layer 10 from thelight emitting surface 12. - In another embodiment, the light striking on the light
reflective layer 20 may partly enter into the lightreflective layer 20 from thesecond contact surface 21 and emit out of the lightreflective layer 20 from thebottom surface 22. A reflective coating (not shown) can be formed on thebottom surface 22 of the lightreflective layer 20 to avoid the light emitting out of the lightreflective layer 20 from thebottom surface 22. - The
light scattering particles 30 are dispersed in thelight guide layer 10 and arranged on thesecond contact surface 21. Thelight scattering particles 30 are used to scatter light striking on thesecond contact surface 21 to make the brightness of the light emitting from thelight emitting surface 12 become more uniform. - A distribution density of the
light scattering particles 30 on thesecond contact surface 21 may be uniform or non-uniform according to different design requirements. In the present embodiment, a distribution density of thelight scattering particles 30 gradually increases along a direction away from thelight incident surface 11. In this situation, the brightness of the light emitting from thelight emitting surface 12 can be more uniform. - When the compound
optical film 100 is used in the backlight module, thelight guide layer 10 can be instead of the prior light guide plate, the lightreflective layer 20 can be instead of the prior light reflective plate. Additionally, thelight scattering particles 30 dispersed in thelight guide layer 10 can also play the role of a prior light diffusion plate. With above-mentioned compound structure, the compoundoptical film 100 has triple functions of guiding light, reflecting light, and diffusing light. Comparing with the prior light guide plate and light reflective plate separately assembled in backlight module, the unitary structure of the compoundoptical film 100 can avoid a gap forming between the light guide layer and the light reflective layer and is helpful to reduce the thickness of the backlight module. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , a method for manufacturing the compoundoptical film 100, according to a second embodiment, includes following steps. - Firstly, a light
reflective film 60 is provided. The light reflective 60 includes asecond contact surface 61 and abottom surface 62 opposite to thesecond contact surface 61. In an alternative embodiment, a reflective coating can be formed on thebottom surface 62. - Secondly, a plurality of
light scattering particles 70 are formed on thesecond contact surface 61. In the present embodiment, thelight scattering particles 70 are formed on thesecond contact surface 61 by roller-printing method described as follows. Ink containing particles with high reflectivity, such as TiO2, BaSO4 etc, is provided. The ink is printed on thesecond contact surface 61, and finally the ink is dried to form thelight scattering particles 70 on thesecond contact surface 61. The distribution density of thelight scattering particles 70 on thesecond contact surface 61 may be uniform or non-uniform according to different design. In the present embodiment, the distribution density of thelight scattering particles 70 in thesecond contact surface 61 is gradually bigger or smaller from one side to an opposite side of thesecond contact surface 61. - Thirdly, a
mold 80 including amolding cavity 81 is provided. The lightreflective film 60 withlight scattering particles 70 on thesecond contact surface 61 is placed into themolding cavity 81. Thebottom surface 62 is attached on the inner wall of themolding cavity 81 and thesecond contact surface 61 and thelight scattering particles 70 are exposed in themolding cavity 81. - Finally, light-permeable material is introduced into the
molding cavity 81 to cover thesecond contact surface 61 and thelight scattering particles 70, thereby alight guide layer 90 is formed on thesecond contact surface 61. - By the above-motioned manufacturing method, the compound
optical film 100 having triple functions of guiding light, reflecting light, and diffusing light can be obtained. When the compoundoptical film 100 is used in the backlight module, one piece of the compoundoptical film 100 can be instead of three pieces optical film including the light guide plate, light reflective plate and light diffusing plate previously used in the backlight module. This can greatly simplify the assemble steps of the backlight module and help to reduce the thickness of the backlight module. - The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of an optical coupling lens. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, including in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
