It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.

[0048] According to the foregoing description, in the reflective element 100B according to the third embodiment, through the configuration of the multiple high spacers 130a, 130a, the multiple middle spacers 130b, 130b, and multiple lower spacers 130c, the multiple reflective cavities 110 may be, for example, classified into multiple first reflective cavities 110a, multiple second reflective cavities 110b, and multiple third reflective cavities 110c. As shown in
[0049] Further, as shown in

[0051]
[0052]
[0053] In an embodiment, the bottom surface 132 of the spacer 130 is connected to the first inclined surface 134 and the second inclined surface 136. When the top edge 138 of the first inclined surface 134 is flush with the top edge 138 of the second inclined surface 136, the top edge 138 of the first inclined surface 134 is directly connected to the top edge 138 of the second inclined surface 136 or both are connected via a horizontal connection surface 150. When the spacer 130 has a height difference between the top edge 138 of the first inclined surface 134 and the top edge 138 of the second inclined surface 136, the top edge 138 of the first inclined surface 134 may be connected to the top edge 138 of the second inclined surface 136 via a vertical surface structure 160, a step-like structure 170, or another combination method.
[0054] According to the foregoing description, in the reflective elements 100, 100A, 100B, 100C, 100C, and 100D in the embodiments of the present invention, height differences are present between the top edges 138a of the first inclined surfaces 134a, 134a of the high spacers 130a, 130a, the top edges 138b of the first inclined surfaces 134b, 134b of the middle spacers 130b, 130b, and the top edge 138c of the first inclined surface 134c of the lower spacer 130c. Thus, the heights of the top edge 138a, the top edge 138b, and the top edge 138c change, for example, with an equal difference, an equal ratio, or in a random manner, such that the first height difference H1 is present between the top edge 138a and the top edge 138b, and a second height difference H2 is present between the top edge 138b and the top edge 138c. Description is made using the following examples, which is not limited thereto. When the heights of the top edge 138a, the top edge 138b, and the top edge 138c have an equal difference, the first height difference H1 is equal to the second height difference H2. When the heights of the top edge 138a, the top edge 138b, and the top edge 138c change in an equal ratio or a random manner, the first height difference H1 and the second height difference H2 are different, where the first height difference H1 may be, for example, greater than the second height difference H2 and the first height difference H1 is an integer multiple of the second height difference H2, or the first height difference H1 may be, for example, smaller than the second height difference H2 and the second height difference H2 is an integer multiple of the first height difference H1.
[0055]
[0056] According to the foregoing description, the optical panel 20 is selected from a diffusion plate, a structural plate, or a combination thereof. In an embodiment not shown, the structural plate may, for example, include a plate body and multiple microstructures. The plate body has two opposite surfaces, and the microstructures are disposed on at least one of the two opposite surfaces of the plate body, and the microstructure may be constructed in a shape of a cross, a square pyramid, a triangular pyramid, or the like. Further, the optical film assembly includes one of a beam-splitting film, a brightness-enhancing film, or a combination thereof, or a light conversion film and a blue light-filtering film.
[0057] In the present invention, the multiple spacers are used to separate multiple reflective cavities, and the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of the spacer respectively serve as the side walls of two adjacent reflective cavities. Some of the spacers have a height difference between the top edge of the first inclined surface and the top edge of the second inclined surface, and therefore the light emitting components (for example, the light emitting diode) correspondingly disposed in each reflective cavity reflect different light rays, so as to achieve consistent brightness in the central region, the transition region, and peripheral region of the reflective element, thus improving the uniformity of the light rays of the screen of the display panel.
[0058] While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
