Patent attributes
A backlight module having a light diffusing device is disclosed, comprising a frame, a reflecting plate, a top plate and at least one light source module, in which the reflecting plate having an upper surface is mounted on a bottom side of the frame and the top plate is mounted on a top side of the frame to space a predetermined distance from the reflecting plate. The light source module is mounted on the upper surface of the reflecting plate, including a light source and a light diffusing device mounted between the light source and the top plate. The light diffusing device has an un-uniform thickness which is inversely proportional to the distance between the light source and the top plate. Thus, the problem of non-uniform luminance distribution caused by a change in the distance between the light source and the top plate is eliminated.
