Abstract:
An optical fiber connector includes a number of optical fibers, a body, a number of supports and a cover. The body includes a number of lens portions at a first end thereof, a number of through holes at an opposite second end, and a recess located between the lens portions and the through holes. The through holes are in communication with the recess. The optical fibers extend through the respective through holes and terminate at the respective lens portions. The supports are formed in the recess. Each support supports and retains a portion of the corresponding optical fiber exposed in the recess. The cover is inserted in the recess. The cover and the supports cooperatively securely sandwich the exposed portions of the optical fibers in the body.

A light guide plate for distributing light from a light source includes a light scattering surface, a light output surface opposite to the light scattering surface, and a number of side surfaces surrounding the light scattering surface and the light output surface. The light scattering surface includes a number of light scattering dots thereon. The light scattering dots are arranged into a number of rows arranged from a first side of the light scattering surface to an opposite side of the light scattering surface. A distance between every two adjacent rows of the light scattering dots gradually decreases from the first side to the second side, such that the light scattering dots at the second side of the light scattering surface have a greater density than the light scattering dots at the first side of the light scattering surface.

An exemplary optical fiber connector includes a housing, and two lenses. The housing defines two first blind holes each configured for receiving an optical fiber. The two lenses are formed on the housing and each of the lenses is aligned with a corresponding first blind hole. The two second blind holes are defined on the housing and each of the second blind holes running through the housing to a corresponding first blind hole to allow adhesive to fill between the sidewall of the optical fiber and the inner wall of the blind hole.
