The lamp holder comprises: a light scattering plate, comprising a first face and a second face arranged oppositely to each other and side faces around ends of the first and second faces. The light scattering plate comprises at least one light-entering side face where light is capable of entering. Light can enter the light scattering plate from the light-entering side face of the light scattering plate, and after being scattered by the light scattering plate, a portion of the light exits from the first face of the light scattering plate and another portion of the light exits from the second face of the light scattering plate. The lamp holder provides not only sufficient lighting in the operational area located below the lamp holder, but also some lighting above the lamp holder. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lamp holder for a desk lamp, comprising: a light scattering plate, wherein the light scattering plate comprises a first face and a second face arranged oppositely, and side faces around ends of the first and second faces, light is capable of entering at least one side face of the light scattering plate, wherein the at least one side face of the light scattering plate is a light-entering side face; the light scattering plate comprises two light-entering side faces arranged oppositely to each other; the first face comprises first concave portions, so as to provide first scattering dots; light, after entering the light scattering plate from the light-entering side face is scattered by the first scattering dots, and a portion of the light exits from the first face and another portion of the light exits from the second face; the second face comprises second concave portions, so as to provide second scattering dots; a density of the second scattering dots along a direction in which the two light-entering side faces are arranged oppositely to each other is less than a density of the first scattering dots along the direction; the second face comprises a middle region and edge regions provided between and immediately adjacent to the middle region and the two light-entering side faces; the second scattering dots are only located in the edge regions; and some of the light is scattered and reflected via the second scattering dots and exits from the first face, and a majority of the light is reflected by the first scattering dots and directed by the first scattering dots and the second scattering dots and exits from the second face. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The lamp holder for the desk lamp of claim 1, further comprising: at least one light source, wherein the light source is arranged facing the light-entering side face; and light emitted from the light source is capable of entering the light scattering plate from the light-entering side face. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The lamp holder for the desk lamp of claim 2, wherein the light source is an LED light bar or a cold cathode light source. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) A desk lamp comprising a lamp holder of claim 1. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The desk lamp of claim 4, further comprising a base and a lamp bracket, wherein the base and the lamp holder are connected by the lamp bracket. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The lamp holder for the desk lamp of claim 1, wherein a density of the first scattering dots of an edge area of the first face is less than that of the first scattering dots of a middle area of the first face. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The lamp holder for the desk lamp of claim 1, wherein the first scattering dots are uniformly disposed in a middle area of the first face. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The lamp holder for the desk lamp of claim 1, wherein the first scattering dots are in a structure of a concave or convex shape. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The lamp holder for the desk lamp of claim 1, wherein the second scattering dots are in a structure of a concave or convex shape. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The lamp holder for the desk lamp of claim 1, wherein the light scattering plate is a light guide plate. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The lamp holder for the desk lamp of claim 1, wherein the light scattering plate is a normal mode polymer dispersed liquid crystal device, a reverse mode polymer dispersed liquid crystal devices, a polymer network liquid crystal device, or a polymer stabilized cholesteric texture liquid crystal device. ### Claim 12 A lamp holder for a desk lamp, comprising: a light scattering plate, wherein the light scattering plate comprises a first face and a second face arranged oppositely in a first direction, and side faces around ends of the first and second faces, light is capable of entering at least one side face, wherein the at least one side face is a light-entering side face;
