DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] For the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention will become clear and unambiguous, the embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, simultaneously. It should be noted that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

The LED light source 10 comprises a substrate 11 and a plurality of mini LED lamp beads 12 arranged in an array on the substrate 11. Since the mini LED with a size of about 100 micrometers does not need to overcome the threshold of a huge amount of transfer, the mass production is feasible. The mini LED can be applied to a backlight (such as a television) of a large-size display screen, or can be applied to a backlight application of a small-size display screen (such as a mobile phone). The fluorescent film layer 20 is disposed in a light emitting direction of the LED light source 10, and a surface of the fluorescent film layer 20 toward the mini LED lamp beads 12 is provided with grooves 200 arranged in an array.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom surface of the groove 200 of the embodiment is a concave arc surface. For instance, only the bottom surface of the groove 200 is a concave arc surface, or a section of the groove is a concave arc surface. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the groove 200 can also have other shapes, such as, a tapered section, as long as a better promotion can be achieved for the uniformity of light emission of the mini LED lamp beads 12.

[0030] Specifically, a number of the grooves 200 is not less than a number of the mini LED lamp beads 12, and each of the mini LED lamp beads 12 is directly opposite to at least one of the grooves 200. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, which shows a condition that a number of grooves 200 is equal to a number of mini LED lamp beads 12, each mini LED lamp bead 12 is directly opposite to one groove 200, and a radial dimension of the groove 200 is not less than a radial dimension of the mini LED lamp bead 12, which is directly opposite thereto. Furthermore, the radial dimension of the groove 200 is greater than the radial dimension of the mini LED lamp bead 12, which is directly opposite thereto. The mini LED lamp bead 12 is partially embedded into the groove 200, which is directly opposite thereto, so that most of the light emitted from the mini LED lamp bead 12 is processed by the groove 200 and then enters the fluorescent film layer 20. The divergence is better. The light emission is more uniform, Meanwhile, the thickness of direct type backlight source can be reduced.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, which shows a condition that a radial dimension of the groove 200 is less than a radial dimension of the mini LED lamp bead 12, which is directly opposite thereto, Each mini LED lamp bead 12 is directly opposite to a plurality of grooves 200. The light emitted from one mini LED lamp bead 12 is respectively processed by the plurality of micro groove 200 and then enters the fluorescent film layer 20. The light in the entire region of the fluorescent film layer 20 is almost uniform, and the light uniformity is better.

[0032] In addition to comprising grooves 200, the fluorescent film layer 20 further comprises convex pillars 21 arranged along edges of the fluorescent film layer 20 in a circle at intervals, and the convex pillars 21 and the grooves 200 are respectively disposed on two opposite surfaces of the fluorescent film layer 20. The convex pillars 21 enclose the grooves 200 therein. Besides, the mini LED backlight module further comprises a diffusion film 30 and a light shielding adhesive 40, and edges of a bottom surface of the diffusion film 30 are attached to surfaces of the convex pillars 21, and the diffusion film 30 is fixed by the convex pillars 21 around the fluorescent film layer 20. Meanwhile, the light shielding adhesive 40 is adhered on edges of a top surface of the diffusion film 30, and is extended to be adhered to lateral sides of the convex pillars 21 and a bottom surface of the substrate 11 to avoid the light leakage from the edges and the lateral sides of the backlight module.

[0033] In order to realize the alignment of the fluorescent film layer 20 and the LED light source 10, an alignment mark is formed on the edge of the substrate 11 of the LED light source 10. When the fluorescent film layer 20 is assembled, the outline of the fluorescent film layer 20 can be aligned with the alignment mark, and then the diffusion film 30 is fixed on the fluorescent film layer 20 with the light shielding adhesive 40.
