Description of the Invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a reflector for a backlight module. [Prior Art] Backlight module refers to a component that can provide a product as a back light source. It is currently used in various information, communication, and consumer products, such as liquid crystal display (LCD), film scanning. Products, slides, and other products. According to the difference of the incident position of the light source, the light module can be divided into two types: edge lighting and direct lighting (b〇tt〇m lighting). • Side-lit backlight modules are typically used in applications such as portable computers that save power and light weight. In order to achieve the requirements of lightness and thinness, a light source is usually placed on the side of the backlight module, and the light emitted from the light source is guided to the display panel by a light guide plate. Direct-lit backlight modules are commonly used in products that require high brightness, such as televisions. I Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a conventional direct type backlight module 1', which mainly includes a casing 110 for supporting a plurality of lamps 13 and a diffusion plate 140. A white diffuse reflection plate 12 is disposed at the bottom of the outer casing 110 for reflecting light from the light source to the diffuser plate 14''. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a direct-type backlight module 200 for use in another S. In addition to the white diffuse reflector 120 used, the backlight module 200 is substantially the same as the backlight of FIG. Module i 00 is the same. The conventional white diffuse reflection plate 120 is generally made of a polymer substrate to which inorganic 1333577 compound particles (e.g., titanium dioxide or barium sulfate) 122 are added. Although the diffuse reflection plate can diffuse and reflect light, the inorganic compound particles absorb light and reduce the light use efficiency, thereby causing a problem of insufficient brightness of the backlight module. X. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a reflector for a backlight module that overcomes or ameliorates the problems of the prior art. To achieve the above and other objects, the present invention provides a reflecting member having a metal mirror for reflecting light from a light source to a light surface of the backlight module, the metal mirror having a plurality of grooves. The reflecting member may be formed of a metal substrate (e.g., a nameplate) having a metal mirror surface formed on the surface thereof. Further, the reflecting member can also be formed by forming a metal film on a metal or non-metal substrate. In this embodiment, the metal film forms a metal mirror on the substrate. The reflecting member of the present invention may be a reflecting member disposed between the light source of the backlight module and the bottom of the casing or a backlight module casing having a metal mirror surface. Therefore, when the light source is lit, the light directly entering the diffusing plate will be mixed with the light reflected by the reflecting member (or the metal mirror surface of the backlight module) into the diffusing plate, thereby forming a surface luminance of the diffusing plate. An illuminating surface is formed on the surface of the diffusion plate. It can be understood that the metal mirror surface of the reflector of the present invention can greatly increase the reflectivity, thereby effectively improving or solving the problem of insufficient backlighting of the conventional backlight module. In addition, the reflector of the present invention further forms a plurality of grooves on the metal mirror surface for diffusing and reflecting the light, and the preferred illumination uniformity is obtained at 6 1333577. For the above and other purposes, the present invention further provides a trench. The reflector has a metal mirror surface with a plurality of grooves facing the light sources. The trench has a plurality of concave convex patterns ' distributed on the inner side of each of the trenches. The grooves and concave convex lines are effective for increasing the diffuse reflection of light, thereby achieving better illumination uniformity. Embodiment 3 FIG. 3 illustrates a backlight module 3A according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes a housing 310 for supporting a light source 320, a reflector 330, and a diffusion plate 340. The material of the outer casing 310 may be a plasticized material, a metal material or other opaque material to prevent light leakage. The light source 32A may be a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), a hot cathode fluorescent lamp or a light emitting diode. The reflecting member 330 may be formed of a metal substrate (for example, an aluminum plate or other metal plate having high reflectivity), the surface of the metal substrate forming a metal mirror surface 330a. In addition, the reflecting member 330 may also be formed by a metal A film (for example, an aluminum film having a thickness of 1 nanometer, a silver film or other metal film or alloy film having high reflectivity) is formed on a metal or non-metal substrate, in this embodiment, the metal The film is formed on the substrate to form a metal mirror surface. As shown in FIG. 3, the reflector member 30 is disposed between the light source 320 and the bottom of the outer casing 315. Therefore, when the light source 32 is illuminated, the light directly entering the diffuser plate 340 will be mixed with the light reflected by the reflector 33 into the diffuser plate 34', thereby forming the surface of the diffuser 340 (surface 7 1333577 luminance) An illuminating surface is formed on the surface of the diffusion plate 34. It can be understood that the metal mirror 330a of the reflector 330 of the present invention can greatly increase the reflectivity of the reflector 330, thereby improving the brightness of the backlight module. As shown in the figure, the reflector 330 of the present invention is on the metal mirror 330a. A plurality of trenches 332 are formed for diffusely reflecting the light to obtain a preferred illuminance uniformity. The sections of the grooves 332 may be semicircular, circular (see Fig. 3), γ φ (see Fig. 4) or u-shaped (see Fig. 8 groove 520). Furthermore, the trenches may be arranged in a continuous manner (see trenches 332 of Figure 3 or Figure 4) or in a discontinuous manner (see trenches 510 of Figure 7). Fig. 5 shows a backlight module 400 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and like elements are given the same reference numerals. In addition to the reflector 33 另 forming a plurality of grooves 410 and embossed lines 420 on the metal mirror surface 330a for better illuminance uniformity, the backlight module 400 _ of FIG. 5 and the backlight module of FIG. 3 3〇〇 is roughly the same. As shown in the figure, the grooves 410 are respectively disposed at positions adjacent to the light sources 320, and the uneven lines 420 are distributed on the inner sides of the grooves 4''. The trenches 4 10 and the embossed lines 420 must be designed in consideration of the spacing between the light sources 320 and the distance between the light source 320 and the diffuser plate 340. The grooves 410 may have a semicircular, circular arc shape (see Fig. 5), a V shape (see Fig. 6) or a U-like shape (see the groove 520 of Fig. 8). In addition, the grooves and embossed lines may be arranged in a continuous manner (see the concave convex lines 420 of Fig. 5 or Fig. 6) or in a discontinuous manner (see the groove 8 1333577 510 of Fig. 7). The first trenches 410 and the embossed lines 420 are effective for increasing the diffuse reflection of the light, thereby achieving better illumination uniformity. It can be understood that the backlight module according to the present invention can also directly form a metal mirror surface having a groove 332 or a groove 41 〇 and a concave-convex pattern 420 on the outer casing 310 to replace the aforementioned reflection member 330. In this embodiment, the material of the outer casing 310 is preferably formed of a metal substrate (for example, an aluminum plate or other metal plate having high reflectivity). The surface of the metal substrate forms a metal mirror surface 330a. In addition, the outer casing 3 10 can also be formed on a metal or non-metal substrate by forming a metal film (for example, an aluminum film having a thickness of 100 nm, a silver film or other metal film or alloy film having high reflectivity). In this embodiment, the metal film forms a metal mirror on the substrate. The reflector of the invention has a metal mirror surface to greatly increase the reflectivity, thereby improving the brightness of the two backlight modules; furthermore, the reflector of the present invention forms a plurality of grooves on the metal mirror surface for diffusing and reflecting light, thereby obtaining a comparison Good illuminance uniformity. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention can be modified and retouched without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
