A solar energy collecting system includes a substrate and at least one solar chip. The substrate includes a first surface, a second surface and a plurality of lateral surfaces, wherein the first surface faces the second surface, the lateral surfaces are adjacent to the first and second surfaces, and a first micro structure is formed on the first or the second surface. The solar chip is near one of the lateral surfaces. Solar light penetrates the first and the second surface and is refracted or reflected by the first micro structure to leave the substrate via the lateral surface and be absorbed by the solar chip.

Solar energy collecting module

An optical film with a plurality of micro structures which are capable of collecting incident light to the frontal and normalized view angle of the optical film for reducing the chance of incident light returning to light guild plate so as to enhance light collecting efficiency is provided in the present invention. In an embodiment, the optical film is combined with a flat light source so as to form a backlight system. By means of the merit of the optical film, the quantities of the optical film can be reduced so that the backlight system can have characteristics of thin thickness and low production cost.
