Abstract
The backlight module includes a reflective sheet, at least one point light unit with a dish lens on the reflective sheet. The dish lens has a light-permeable surface formed on the bottom of the dish lens, a light-reflecting surface formed on top of the dish lens, two smooth curve surfaces formed on two side of the dish lens for connecting the light-reflecting surface and the light-permeable surface, and a light-scattering surface on the center of the light-reflecting surface. The profile of the light-permeable surface and the light-reflecting surface are a substantially concave shape. The profile of the light-scattering surface is a substantially convex shape. A light emitting diode (LED) device includes a light emitting semiconductor device and a dish lens encapsulating the light emitting semiconductor device. The dish lens allows the light beams emitted by the LED to diffuse more uniformly, resulting in a more uniform backlight emission.
