[Prior technology] Liquid crystal display (LCD: Liquid Crystal Display) itself does not emit light, so external light sources must be used, especially the transmissive TFT (Thin FUm Transistor) color liquid crystal display usually uses a backlight board 丨. The light source of the backlight module is a three-wavelength cold cathode lamp (CCFL: Cold Cathode Fluorescernt Lamp) or a light emitting diode (LED: Light Emitting Diode). Among them, the cold cathode lamp has the characteristics of high brightness, high efficiency, long life, and high color rendering. In addition to the cylindrical shape, it can be easily combined with light reflecting elements to form a thin plate-shaped illuminator. panel Display). The light source can be divided into two types: backlight type (back type) and front light type (t t ^ e); the backlight type can be divided into edge lighting (edge lighting) and direct light type ( direct Ughting) two ^. The edge-light type backlight module has a very uniform illumination brightness, and the module shape is also very thin. The light use efficiency is about 5, which is suitable for portable use. The light source efficiency of the direct type backlight module is about 60% 1241440. Because the module has a thick profile, it is often used in non-portable products such as desktop LCD monitors and LCD TVs. If the LCD exceeds 17 1 or more, the weight of the direct type backlight panel is lighter than the edge-type backlight module. Therefore, it is a trend to use direct-type% optical modules for future large-size LCD TVs. Refer to FIG. 1A for a schematic top view of a conventional direct-type backlight module. A plurality of cold-cathode lamps 100 provide backlight to the LCD panel in a parallel arrangement (not shown). Refer to FIG. 1B A schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional direct-type backlight module viewed from line AA in FIG. 1A. After the light source is emitted from the cold cathode lamp f 100, it is reflected by the reflective sheet 10, and then dispersed upward by the diffuser plate UM uniform sentence. It is emitted from the front, wherein the main function of the diffuser plate is to scatter the light reflected by the reflection 4 1 () 2. Since the plurality of direct-type backlight modules are sequentially arranged directly below the liquid crystal panel, the outline of the lamps is very likely to cause uneven brightness and shadows on the LCD screen. Therefore, there is a great need for a backlight module structure to solve the above problems' and [Summary of the Invention] [1] The main purpose is to provide a backlight module structure to improve the uniformity of the emitted light by adjusting the height of the lamp tube in the moonlight branch group. Another object of the present invention is to provide a backlight method capable of producing uniform production, and to improve the influence of the == due to the uneven brightness of the backlight. Based on the quality of the 1241440 clear backlight structure, the two cold cathode lamps closest to the back panel are arranged in different degrees, so that they are closer to the diffusion to produce uneven brightness and shadows. The diagram in FIG. 2 is not a schematic exploded view of a direct type backlight module formed according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Among them, a plurality of cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) 200 are arranged on a back plate 206 as a backlight source, and the backlight source can also use light emission: LEDs, organic light emitting diodes ED) provided by tungsten halogen lamp, electroluminescence (ELD), cathode emission lamp () and metal halide lamp; a diffusion plate 204 is located above the cold cathode lamp tube 200, and its main function is to improve the front Brightness, and make the light emitted by the cold cathode lamp 200 more uniform. Figure 2B is a schematic cross-sectional view of the direct-type moonlight module of the present invention viewed from line AA of Figure 2A. After the light source is emitted from the cold cathode tube 2⑽, it is reflected by the reflection sheet 202 and then passes upward through the diffuser 2. 4 It is ejected on the front side after being evenly dispersed. In addition to the conventional reflecting sheet 202 of the direct type light module of the present invention, the two cold cathode lamp tubes 200 closest to the two sides of the back plate 206 are arranged at different heights to make the emitted light more It approaches the diffuser plate 204 and avoids uneven brightness and shadows around the liquid crystal panel. Referring to FIG. 3, an enlarged cross-sectional view of a backlight module capable of improving light uniformity of the back 1241440 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. After the light source is emitted from the cold cathode lamp 200, it is reflected by the reflecting sheet 202, and is evenly dispersed upward by the diffuser plate 204, and then emitted from the front, among which the two cold cathode lamp 200a closest to the two sides of the back plate 206 And 200b, and the middle cold cathode lamp 2 are arranged in different south degrees, where the distance between the cold cathode lamp 200a and the diffuser plate 204 is a, and the cold cathode lamp 200b and the diffuser plate The distance between 204 is b, and the distance between the middle cold cathode tube 200 and the diffuser plate 204 is c. Because the brightness distribution of the general panel is usually lower than the center position at the outermost side, the present invention raises the height of the two cold cathode lamp tubes 20 (^ and 2000b) on both sides to increase the height. Close to the diffuser plate 204 to increase the brightness on both sides of the panel, as shown in Figure 4, using the structure of the present invention, the brightness value at the side can be about 86% to 96% of the brightness value at the center. The figure depicts a comparison of the brightness distribution before and after improvement using the structure of the present invention. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the brightness distribution of the unimproved backlight module's distribution on both sides of the panel will cause a sharp drop, and then pass through this After the structure of the invention is improved, its brightness value will be improved on both sides of the panel, which is about 86% to 96% of the central location brightness value, which obviously improves the disadvantage of uneven brightness distribution caused by the traditional structure. In the embodiment, the degree of promotion of the cold cathode lamp 200a is about 1 to 5 millimeters (mm) higher than that of the cold cathode lamp 200, and the height of the cold cathode lamp 200b is higher than that of the cold cathode lamp 200 by about 0.5. Up to 2 meters (mm) with each cold cathode The distance relationship between the lamp tube and the diffuser plate is c > b > a. In summary, in the backlight module of the present invention, in addition to using the 1241440 traditional reflection sheet for reflection, the light source will be closest to the back plate. The two cold cathode lamp tubes on the two sides are arranged at different heights to make them closer to the diffuser plate, so as to increase the brightness of the two sides of the panel to avoid the occurrence of uneven brightness and shadows around the LCD panel.
