Abstract
A flexible light source module including a flexible substrate, a flexible light guide film and a plurality of point light sources is provided. The flexible light guide film including light-guiding portions is disposed on the point light sources. Each of the light-guiding portions includes a light incident surface and a light emitting surface. The light incident surface includes light incident sub-surfaces. The light emitting surface includes light emitting sub-surfaces, and the one closest to the geometric center of the light-guiding portion is a first light emitting sub-surface. The absolute values of the tangent slopes of the first light emitting sub-surface are ascending with approaching the geometric center of the light-guiding portion. The light beams emitted from the point light sources exit out of the flexible light source module via the flexible light guide film so that the flexible light source module provides a uniform planar light source.
