Description

Backlight module with light emitting diodes

technical field

The invention relates to a backlight module with light-emitting diodes, in particular to a backlight module applied to medium and large size flat panel displays.

Background technique

With the progress of the flat panel display technology, the current flat panel displays have gradually become the mainstream of medium and large size flat panel displays. However, there are still many technical problems to be overcome in the process of progressing from small-sized panels to large-sized panels.

Since the quality of each white light emitting diode is uneven, the internal impedance is often different. Therefore, when such light emitting diodes are arranged in the backlight module of a medium-sized or large-sized flat-panel display, the problem of uneven brightness of the display will occur. As shown in FIG. 1 , the traditional arrangement of light emitting diodes is to provide the brightness required by the area A and the area B of the flat panel display by the circuit 110 provided with the light emitting diodes 111 and 112 and the circuit 120 provided with the light emitting diodes 121 and 122 respectively. Since the circuit 110 and the circuit 120 are arranged in parallel, when the sum of the impedances of the light emitting diodes 111, 112 is greater than the sum of the impedances of the light emitting diodes 121, 122, the current flowing through the circuit 110 will be smaller, so the brightness of the light emitting diodes 111, 112 will be smaller, causing area A of the flat panel display to be darker than area B. When the size of the flat-panel display is small, the situation of uneven brightness is not serious, but when the size gradually increases and the number of light-emitting diodes installed on a single circuit increases, the difference in the sum of impedance will be greater, thus making the brightness uneven effect is more obvious. In addition, general flat-panel displays only provide enough brightness in the direction of facing the display. If the viewing angle of the user slightly deviates from the front viewing angle, the brightness of the image received by the eyes will be reduced. This shortcoming exists in medium and large-sized flat-panel displays, and its degree will be more serious.

Therefore, a backlight module with light-emitting diodes that can provide uniform brightness and wide viewing angle is designed to solve the above technical problems.
