Abstract
A light guide plate includes a main body and a number of micro protrusions. The main body includes a light emitting surface, a bottom surface, and a light incident surface. The bottom surface is opposite to the light emitting surface. The light incident surface connects the light emitting surface and the bottom surface. The protrusions are randomly positioned on the light emitting surface, and are used for reflecting light rays towards random directions.
Claims11
A light guide plate, comprising:
- a transparent main body comprising:
- a light emitting surface;
- a bottom surface opposite to the light emitting surface, a plurality of micro recesses uniformly distributed on the bottom surface, the micro recesses being spherical crown shaped, a ratio of a diameter of each of the micro recesses to a depth of each of the micro recesses being about 10:1;
- and
- a light incident surface connecting the light emitting surface and the bottom surface;
- and
- a plurality of transparent micro protrusions randomly positioned on the light emitting surface, the micro protrusions being configured for reflecting light rays towards random directions.

A method of manufacturing a light guide plate, comprising:
- providing a main body, wherein the main body comprises a light emitting surface and a bottom surface opposite to the light emitting surface;
- providing a high pressure spraying device;
- forming a plurality of micro protrusions on the light emitting surface using the high pressure spraying device, wherein the high pressure spraying device comprises a hollow working container, a solvent inlet, a gas inlet, and a nozzle;
- a molten solvent is poured into the working container through the solvent inlet, and a high pressure gas enters the working container through the gas inlet, and then the solvent is sprayed to the light emitting surface at a force of the high pressure gas, and thus to randomly form the micro protrusions on the light emitting surface;
- and
- cooling the micro protrusions to attach the micro protrusions to the light emitting surface to obtain the light guide plate.
