In other embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, 6 and 7, the surface of the light-coupling plate 13 facing away from the light source 12 is formed with reflective dots 16. Specifically, the reflective dots 16 are formed on the upper surface of the light coupling plate 13, so that the reflective dots 16 can reflect part of light directly emitted to the light coupling plate 13 in multiple directions, and are matched with the reflective surface 152, so that the light-emitting uniformity of the light coupling plate 13 is further improved.
Meanwhile, the reflective dots 16 can also perform a third reflection on the light that has undergone a second reflection by the reflective surface 152 and the reflective layer 14, so as to further improve the uniformity of the light emitted from the light-coupling plate 13.

Specifically, by the above arrangement, the overall refractive index of the reflector 151 and the reflective dots 16 is increased, so that light can be more easily reflected to the reflective layer 14 at the reflective surface 152 and the reflective dots 16 rather than being directly refracted to the outside of the light coupling plate 13 from the reflector 151 and the reflective dots 16, thereby improving the uniformity of light output from the light coupling plate 13.
In other embodiments of the present application, the titanium dioxide particles 154 have a diameter of 100nm to 150 nm. Specifically, the titanium dioxide particles 154 are set to have a diameter of 100nm to 150nm, so that the distribution uniformity and density of the titanium dioxide particles 154 in the silica gel 155 and the like are improved, the propagation paths of the light reflected and emitted from the reflecting surface 152 and the reflective dots 16 are diversified, the scattering rate of the light is further improved, the light-emitting uniformity of the light-coupling plate 13 is further improved, and the dispersion phenomenon of the light-coupling plate 13 is also avoided.

Specifically, the reflecting surfaces 152 are formed on the two opposite groove walls of the groove 15, and the two reflecting surfaces 152 extend from the position away from the central axis 153 of the groove 15 to the position close to the central axis 153, so that the two reflecting surfaces 152 form an included angle with the vertical distance direction from the light source 12 to the groove 15, and after the light emitted by the light source 12 reaches the two reflecting surfaces 152, the light can be reflected to the reflecting layer 14 from the two reflecting surfaces 152 in different reflecting directions, so that the reflecting paths of the light are enriched, and the light-emitting uniformity of the light-coupling plate 13 is improved. Through making two plane of reflection 152 interconnect, can not have hole or gap between two plane of reflection 152 like this, so light source 12 sent big-angle light and small-angle light just can fully reflect to two plane of reflection 152 on, and then promoted two plane of reflection 152 reflection efficiency to light to straight following formula backlight unit's luminous softness has been promoted.
As shown in fig. 5, the two opposite walls of the groove 15 may be vertically and obliquely arranged, the oblique walls of two adjacent grooves 15 are oppositely inclined, and the reflective surface 152 may be formed on the obliquely arranged walls.

Specifically, the reflecting surface 152 is set to be a curved surface, and the concave direction formed by bending the reflecting surface 152 is back to the central axis 153, so that the surface area of the reflecting surface 152 is increased, the reflecting surface 152 can reflect light more, and the reflected light can be reflected to the reflecting layer 14 as much as possible and then reflected from the reflecting layer 14 to the light coupling plate 13, so that the light emitted by the light source 12 can be emitted from the top of the light coupling plate 13 as much as possible, and thus the utilization rate of the light emitted by the light source 12 is improved.
By setting the reflecting surface 152 to be a flat surface, the molding complexity of the reflecting surface 152 is reduced, thereby reducing the molding difficulty of the reflecting surface 152 and further reducing the manufacturing cost of the light coupling plate 13.
In other embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the light source 12 is an LED light source, the groove 15 is a long groove, the two reflecting surfaces 152 are formed on two opposite groove walls in the width direction of the groove 15, the LED light source may be rectangular, and the length direction of the groove 15 and the length direction of the LED light source are perpendicular to each other.
Specifically, the two reflecting surfaces 152 are formed on the two opposite groove walls in the width direction of the groove 15, and the length direction of the LED light source is perpendicular to the length direction of the groove 15, so that the light emitted by the LED light source can cover the area in the width direction of the groove 15 as much as possible, and the light emitted by the LED light source can cover the two reflecting surfaces 152 as much as possible, so that the reflection efficiency of the two reflecting surfaces 152 on the light is improved, and further the light-emitting uniformity of the light coupling plate 13 is improved.

In other embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional shape of the groove 15 is triangular or inverted trapezoidal. Specifically, by defining the cross-sectional shape of the groove 15 as a triangle or an inverted trapezoid, it is convenient that the two reflecting surfaces 152 are formed on the opposite groove walls of the groove 15.
Optionally, the triangle is an isosceles or equilateral triangle, or the inverted trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid, so that the two reflective surfaces 152 formed in this way can be arranged symmetrically to the central axis 153 of the groove 15, and the central axis 153 passes through the center of the corresponding light source 12, so that the light emitted from the light source 12 can be reflected symmetrically from the two reflective surfaces 152 to the reflective layer 14, thereby further improving the uniformity of the light output of the light coupling plate 13.
In other embodiments of the present application, a ratio of a distance between opposite sides of the top of the groove 15 in a width direction thereof (a maximum width of the groove 15) to a vertical distance between the top of the groove 15 and the bottom of the groove 15 (a depth of the groove 15) is 0.1 to 0.3. Specifically, by setting the ratio of the two distances to 0.1 to 0.3, the included angle of the reflection surface 152 formed on the groove wall of the groove 15 with respect to the central axis 153 is within a reasonable range, so that the reflection surface 152 can form a reasonable angle with respect to the vertical direction from the light source 12 to the groove 15, and the reflection surface 152 can reflect light emitted from the light source 12 as much as possible.
In other embodiments of the present application, the reflective dots 16 and the reflectors 151 are printed on the surface of the light coupling plate 13 and in the corresponding grooves 15 by silk-screen printing; alternatively, the reflective dots 16 are sprayed on the surface of the light coupling plate 13, and the reflective dots 151 are dispensed and cured in the corresponding grooves 15.
