Planar light source apparatus, display apparatus, and electronic device
To provide a technique for suppressing brightness non-uniformity of an area illuminated by a light source and also suppressing a decline in contrast between areas caused by incidence of a luminous flux of the area to another area. Provided is a light guide plate including: a diverging portion which is provided on an opposite side of a light exit surface from which light is emitted, the diverging portion causing a luminous flux emitted from a light emitting element to diverge; and a restricting portion which is provided, when a prescribed range from the light emitting element on the light exit surface is defined as an illuminated area illuminated by the light emitting element, in at least a periphery of the illuminated area on the light exit surface and which deflects or shields light traveling from inside toward outside of the illuminated area to restrict traveling, toward a side of the light exit surface, of light traveling toward the outside of the illuminated area.

There is a gap between every two adjacent light plates. The backlight module further includes a diffuser plate arranged at a position corresponding to the gap. The diffuser plate covers at least one row of light emitting diodes disposed on at least one of the two adjacent light plates. At least part of the light emitting diodes on the light plate are uncovered.
MULTI-VIEW PIXEL DIRECTIONAL BACKLIGHT MODULE AND NAKED-EYE 3D DISPLAY DEVICE
A multi-view pixel directional backlight module and a naked-eye 3D display device are provided. The multi-view pixel directional backlight module includes at least two rectangular light guide plates closely stacked together. A light-emerging surface of the rectangular light guide plate is provided with multiple pixel arrays. Light emitted by pixels in a same pixel array is pointed to a same viewing angle, and different pixel arrays have different viewing angles. At least one side of each rectangular light guide plate is provided with a light source group. Light emitted by the light source group enters the corresponding light guide plate, then emerges from pixels of respective pixel arrays on the light-emerging surface of the light guide plate, and is totally reflected at positions other than positions of the pixels within the light guide plate. Each of the pixels is a nano-diffraction grating.
THIN BACKLIGHT WITH RECYCLING TO REDUCE THE BEZEL WIDTH
A backlight unit includes a lightguide, a light source that emits light to the lightguide, and a barrier layer positioned over the lightguide in a light emitting direction relative to the lightguide. The barrier layer defines a bezel area of the backlight unit, and an active area of the backlight unit from which light is emitted from the lightguide is an area adjacent to a boundary of the bezel area. A prism structure is positioned in the bezel area, wherein stray light emitted from the light source uncoupled to the lightguide is at least partially coupled into the lightguide by the prism structure or directed to a greater degree along the lightguide. The prism structure may be configured as a plurality of lenticular triangular prisms, and may be mounted to a mounting frame, back reflector, or flat panel connector of the backlight unit.

The light device for motor vehicles comprises a carrier case, a translucent cover, and an inner chamber where the light source and a linear light guide are mounted. A part of the light guide's outer casing forms the output surface for exiting light rays. Light guide's body comprises an active part for output of light rays from the light device, and an inactive part not visible in viewing inner chamber through translucent cover. Light guide includes a case comprising two arms, either one having at least one contact area on its inner surface to attach light guide in its mounting position therebetween. The distance between the contact areas can be increased during introduction of the light guide into its mounting position, and subsequently reduced after mounting of light guide to a distance at which the light guide surface is in contact with the arm contact areas.
HOMOGENEOUS COLOUR LIGHTING DEVICE
