Apparatus and method of manufacturing light guide plate having reduced thickness

A method for manufacturing light guide plate, comprising:

• providing a first pressing roller, a second pressing roller, and two UV lamps, the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller being located nearby each other and spaced a predetermined distance from each other to form a molding channel, the first pressing roller comprising a hollow cylindrical first main body and a first molding core enclosing the first main body, the second pressing roller comprising a hollow cylindrical second main body and a second molding core enclosing the second main body, the first main body and the second main body being made of transparent material, the first molding core and the second molding core made of resin containing fluorine, the two UV lamps being received in the first main body and the second main body;
• providing a coater containing UV curable glue;
• rotating the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller, a rotating direction of the first pressing roller being reverse to a rotating direction of the second pressing roller;
• distributing the UV curable glue through the molding channel, wherein the UV curable glue is pressed by the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller;
• and
• illuminating two opposite surfaces of the pressed UV curable glue with UV light emitted from the two UV lamps to solidify the pressed UV curable glues.
