The liquid crystal indicator module backlight of cold cathode fluorescent lamp and employing cold cathode fluorescent lamp
Technical field
The present invention relates to the liquid crystal indicator module backlight of a kind of cold cathode fluorescent lamp and employing cold cathode fluorescent lamp, relate in particular to a kind of cold-cathode diode, and adopt this cold-cathode diode as the liquid crystal indicator of backlight module backlight.
Background technology
At various liquid crystal indicators module backlight, especially Thin Film Transistor-LCD (ThinFilm Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display, hereinafter to be referred as TFT-LCD) module backlight in, backlight adopts cold-cathode diode (C FL) usually, CCFL is a kind of linear fluorescent tube, is arranged on the both sides of light guide plate, and is parallel with the edge of light guide plate, through the backlight reflecting plate light that CCFL penetrates is reflected in the light guide plate, becomes the backlight of liquid crystal indicator.There is luminance difference in both sides but the inventor finds the CCFL fluorescent tube, and this can influence display effect.
Lamp tube ends exists the reason of luminance difference to be: the structure of conventional fluorescent lamps pipe as shown in Figure 1, generally include: Transparent lamp tube 1, be coated in the fluorophor of Transparent lamp tube 1 tube wall inboard, be filled with inert gas in the fluorescent tube 1, for example: neon (Ne) and argon (Ar) mist, wherein contain micro-mercury vapor, can be several milligrams (mg), in order to make the fluorophor Discharge illuminating, needing at Transparent lamp tube 1 two ends positive electrode 2 to be set is first electrode, with i.e. second electrode of negative electrode 3, just connect, negative electrode 2,3 end generally also can be provided with the electrode connection device 4 that is used to install backlight, 5, during work, by applying a high pressure at positive electrode 2 and negative electrode 3, high-frequency electric field, then mercury vapor is excited in this electric field, promptly produce and release the energy luminescent effect, emit wavelength is the ultraviolet of 253.7 nanometers (nm), the fluorophor atom of fluorescent tube 1 inwall is then because of ultraviolet ray excited its energy rank that promote, when atom returns former low energy rank, radiate visible light, this wavelength of visible light is by the characteristic decision of fluorophor material.But, positive electrode 2 is different with the voltage of negative electrode 3, and this has caused fluorescent tube 1 positive and negative electrode 2,3 both sides fluorophor to be excited energy not waiting, so the luminosity difference of unit are, when the light-emitting area at fluorescent tube 1 two ends was identical, then luminance difference will appear in fluorescent tube 1 two ends.
The general structure of liquid crystal indicator module backlight comprises shown in Fig. 2 A and 2B: be arranged on undermost reflecting plate 10; On reflecting plate 10, line source is changed into the light guide plate 11 of area source; Following diffusion sheet 12, the last diffusion sheet 15 that will disperse from the light that light guide plate 11 penetrates; To carry out the following prismatic lens 13 of optically focused, last prismatic lens 14 from the light that descends diffusion sheet 12 to penetrate; Be arranged on light guide plate 11 both sides, the backlight 16 parallel with light guide plate 11 edges is enclosed in backlight 16 outsides, backlight 16 light is reflected into the backlight reflecting plate 17 of light guide plate 11.When the backlight that has the problems referred to above is applied in the liquid crystal indicator module backlight, can influence the surface uniformity of back light source brightness, when light is injected light guide plate 11, can there be luminance difference in the area source that forms, be illustrated in figure 3 as when adopting common CCFL, the schematic diagram of simulation calculation liquid crystal panel surface brightness, among the figure in the square frame numerical value be the mean value of the interior brightness of this boxed area, obviously, at the brightness of positive electrode 2 one sides of backlight 16 brightness value height than negative electricity machine 3 one sides.The luminance difference at backlight two ends causes the lack of homogeneity of liquid crystal panel backlight surface brightness, and this will inevitably impact display effect.
In order to solve the problem of luminance difference, in the backlight reflecting plate of a kind of technical scheme trial with LCD light guide plate one side of prior art, the positive and negative electrode of a plurality of backlight lighting tubes of original setting connects, the positive electrode that is about to first pipe connects the negative electrode of second pipe, with the brightness in average entire backlight source.Do the problem that not only can not avoid luminance difference fully like this, and the fluorescent tube that changes the positive and negative electrode position need be provided with extra connecting line and connect its positive and negative electrode, and tend to frequently occur the phenomenon of leakage of current at the connecting line position.In addition, voltage difference is also arranged in the connecting line, in order to guarantee the positive electrode voltage of last root fluorescent tube, need to improve the positive electrode magnitude of voltage of first fluorescent tube, promptly improve its driving voltage, the increase of driving voltage can cause the depletion rate of this lamp tube electrode to be accelerated, the response frequency of fluorophor increases, can reduce the useful life of fluorescent tube, when the brightness of fluorescent tube be lower than original brightness 50% the time think that then the life-span of fluorescent tube expires, therefore this solution has certain defective.
Prior art does not still have effective solution to the two ends luminance difference of backlight of LCD (LCD Module).
Summary of the invention
Main purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of cold cathode fluorescent lamp by some embodiment, can reduce the luminance difference at these backlight two ends.
