Light guide panel

#This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2005-110403 filed on Nov. 17, 2005, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention relates to a light guide panel, and more particularly, to a light guide panel capable of uniformly distributing incident light beams from a light source to an entire surface thereof.

#The above and other objects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

#FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating a conventional light guide panel with LEDs disposed next to the light guide panel;

#FIG. 2 is an enlarged view illustrating the light paths of the light beams incident into the conventional light guide panel;

#The following description will present embodiments of a light guide panel for uniformly distributing incident light beams according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

#FIG. 4 is an enlarged front view illustrating a light incident surface of a light guide panel according to the present invention.

#As shown in FIG. 4, the light guide panel 100 according to the present invention receives light beams from a plurality of LEDs 200 disposed at a side and has through holes (or at least one through hole) 110 formed in a path of the incident light beams, apart in a predetermined interval from a surface where the light beams are incident, i.e., a light incident surface 102. In this embodiment, the LEDs 200 are disposed apart from a lower end of the light guide panel 100 in a predetermined interval, but the LEDs 200 are not limited in their location with respect to the light guide panel 100. Alternatively, the LEDs 200 can be disposed at opposed sides or an upper end of the light guide panel 100 depending on the usage thereof or selection by the user.
