Abstract

An information exhibition system includes an exhibition cabinet and a least one information display device. The exhibition cabinet is used to exhibit at least one object. The information display device is positioned on the exhibition cabinet. The information display device includes a display panel and an illumination module. The display panel includes a front surface and a back surface opposite to the front surface. The front surface shows information. The illumination module is positioned on the back surface of the display panel, so that the light can be emitted into the display panel through the back surface and also illuminate the object on the backside of the display panel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information exhibition system, comprising:
an exhibition cabinet used to exhibit at least one object; and
an information display device positioned on the exhibition cabinet, the information display device comprising:
a display panel having a front surface and a back surface opposite to the front surface, wherein the front surface is used to show information;
an illumination module positioned on the back surface of the display panel for emitting a light into the display panel through the back surface and illuminating the object on the backside of the display panel;
a light guide plate having a first light outgoing surface, a second light outgoing surface opposite to the first light outgoing surface, and a first lateral light incident surface adjacent to the first light outgoing surface and the second light outgoing surface, wherein the first light outgoing surface is adjacent to the back surface of the display panel; and
a first light source disposed on the first lateral light incident surface for emitting first lights into the light guide plate through the first lateral light incident surface, so that the first lights are respectively emitted out of the first light outgoing surface and the second light outgoing surface, and respectively go to the back surface of the display panel through the first light outgoing surface and to the object on the backside of the display panel through the second light outgoing surface.

2. The information exhibition system of claim 1 , wherein the display panel is a LCD (liquid crystal display) panel.

3. The information exhibition system of claim 1 , wherein the first light source comprises an LED (light emitting diode).

4. The information exhibition system of claim 1 , further comprising a second light source disposed on a second lateral light incident surface of the light guide plate, wherein the second lateral light incident surface is adjacent to the first light outgoing surface and the second light outgoing surface, wherein the second lateral light incident surface and the first lateral light incident surface are opposite and parallel to each other, such that second lights emitted by the second light source enter into the light guide plate through the second lateral light incident surface, and a part of the second lights and another part of the second lights respectively go to the back surface of the display panel through the first light outgoing surface and to the object on the backside of the display panel through the second light outgoing surface.

5. The information exhibition system of claim 4 , wherein the second light source comprises an LED.

6. The information exhibition system of claim 4 , further comprising a frame accommodating the display panel, the light guide plate, the first light source and the second light source.

7. The information exhibition system of claim 6 , wherein the frame comprises a plurality of frame arms encompassing edges of the display panel and the light guide plate.

8. The information exhibition system of claim 7 , further comprising:
at least one securing device connected to the information display device for securing the information display device on the exhibition cabinet.

9. The information exhibition system of claim 8 , wherein the securing device comprises a shaft connected to the frame arm of the information display device, such that the information display device is pivotally connected to the securing device.

10. The information exhibition system of claim 9 , wherein the illumination module comprises an optical lens covering the second light outgoing surface of the light guide plate.

11. The information exhibition system of claim 10 , further comprising an uneven structure disposed on a surface of the optical lens.

12. The information exhibition system of claim 9 , wherein the illumination module comprises a lampshade covering the second light outgoing surface of the light guide plate.
