Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a light guide plate, and more particularly to a light guide plate having a high light transmittance and uniformly diffusing light emitted from a light source. [Prior Art] A backlight module used in a general liquid crystal display mainly includes a light source, a light guide plate, a reflection plate, a diffusion plate, a brightness enhancement film, and a polarization conversion film. The main function of the light guide plate is to guide the light direction to improve the panel. The brightness and the control brightness are uniform, and the reflection plate is used to prevent the light leakage at the bottom of the light guide plate to increase the use efficiency of the light. The function of the diffusion plate diffuses the light emitted from the light guide plate into a uniform surface light source. Conventional light guide plates are made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) into a smooth surface by injection molding, and then screened on the bottom surface of the light guide plate with a material that is still reflective and non-absorbent. A circular or square diffusion point is printed. When the light source is placed on the side of the light guide plate, the diffusion points can reflect the light upward, so that the light is emitted from the top surface of the light guide plate, but the light emitted from the top surface of the light guide plate is not evenly distributed. A uniform surface light source can be formed by the action of the diffusion plate. Since the light guide plate and the diffusion plate are important elements affecting the light efficiency of the backlight module, it has become an object of improvement for the industry for a long time. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a light guide plate having a high light transmittance, and 3 201028744 can uniformly diffuse light emitted from a light source.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In order to better understand the features of the present invention, the following description of the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Referring to the first drawing, a light guide plate 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a substrate 12 and a plurality of reflective particles 14. The substrate 12 is made of a thermoplastic plastic, such as a methyl methacrylate resin, a polyvinyl chloride or a polystyrene, wherein the methacrylic resin contains polymethyl Polymethyl methacrylate, polyethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, polybutyl methacrylate or polymethyl 4 201028744 propyl acrylate. The reflective particles 14 are spherical and uniformly dispersed in the substrate 12, and are reflected according to the analysis results of the HORIBA LB-500 dynamic light scattering submicron particle size distribution analyzer. The particles 14 have an average particle diameter of about 3 μm to 5 μm, and the reflective particles 14 have a core 16 and a shell 18, respectively. The core 16 is made of Si〇2, and the shell 18 is made of eight 12〇3. The average thickness of the shell layer is about 55. 5 η 〜 2.5 μιη, and the weight of the reflective particles о is about 1% by weight of the light guide plate 10. In actual production, the polished reflective particles 14 are uniformly dispersed into the methyl methacrylate oligomer, and then formed by casting, and the decyl acrylate is further polymerized at a suitable temperature to form polymethacrylic acid. The oxime ester (ΡΜΜΑ) can form a light guide plate 10 having a plurality of reflective particles 14 therein. Since the light guide plate 10 of the present invention has a plurality of reflective particles 14 inside, when the light enters from the side or the bottom surface of the light guide plate, the light is reflected by the reflective particles 14 in all directions to form a uniform surface light source on the top surface of the light guide plate. The light guide plate has the function of diffusing light. If the light source 20 is disposed on the side of the light guide plate 10, a reflector 22 may be disposed on the bottom side of the light guide plate 10 to prevent light from leaking from the bottom of the light guide plate 10. As shown in the figure; and because the particle size of the reflective particles 14 is extremely small, the transmittance of the light guide plate is hardly affected by the naked eye. Therefore, the light guide plate of the present invention can replace the combination of the conventional light guide plate and the diffusion plate, reduce the light loss between the conventional light guide plate and the diffusion plate, and improve the brightness and uniformity. 5 201028744 According to the spirit of the present invention, the composition of the light guide plate and the composition or size of the reflective particles can be changed. Further experiments show that the average particle diameter of the reflective particles is Ο. ίμιη~ΙΟΟμηι, preferably, the shell The average thickness of the screen may be from 0.05 μm to 50 μm, and the shell layer may be made of other metal oxides such as B203, BaC03, Bi203, CaC03, Ce02, Cr2〇3, CoC).
