Abstract
A method for manufacturing a light guide plate includes the following steps. At least one dot area and at least one non-dot area are defined on a mask. A lithography and etching process using the mask is performed a mold to form at least one recess having a rough surface on the mold and leave at least one non-etched microstructure on the mold. The recess corresponds to the non-dot area, and the non-etched microstructure corresponds to the dot area. An injection molding process using the mold is performed to form the light guide plate. The light guide plate has at least one protrusion having a rough surface on the light guide plate and at least one indented microstructure in the light guide plate. The protrusion corresponds to the recess, and the indented microstructure corresponds to the non-etched microstructure.
