Backlight Assembly with Brightness Enhancing Structure

Abstract

A backlight assembly is provided with an upper reflective layer including a plurality of transparent areas; a lower reflective layer secured to the upper reflective layer; a light guide plate disposed between the upper and lower reflective layers; a light source disposed under the lower reflective layer and corresponding to the transparent areas; a circuit board disposed above the upper reflective layer and including a plurality of first openings and a plurality of electrical contacts; and an opaque shading layer disposed on the circuit board and including a plurality of elastic members aligned with the electrical contacts, and a plurality of second openings. Light with enhanced brightness is transmitted to bottom of keycaps of an input device of a 3C product with energy consumed to a minimum during light transmitting.
