Light source 21 is configured to have the shape of extending along first direction D 1, and comprises light emitting diode (LED) 41, film substrate 42, radiating component 43 and adhesive tape 44 as spot light.
Light emitting diode 41 is to have substantially the semiconductor light-emitting elements that is installed in the parallel light-emitting area 41E of installed surface on the film substrate 42 with it.The light-emitting area 41E of light emitting diode 41 is towards the end face 22c of photoconduction 22.
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are shown in further detail light source cell 21.
A plurality of light emitting diodes 41 are arranged and are installed on the film substrate 42 along first direction D 1.In example shown in Figure 3, a plurality of light emitting diode 41 is arranged in delegation along first direction, but also can be arranged in multirow.Film substrate 42 forms the band shape (promptly having along the roughly rectangular shape on the long limit that first direction D1 extends) of extending along first direction D1.

Adhesive tape 44 is bonding with support 43A with the film substrate 42 that a plurality of light emitting diodes 41 are installed on it.At this moment, the light-emitting area 41E of light emitting diode 41 is towards second direction D2.This adhesive tape 44 is formed by the material with light radiation character.
Above-mentioned accommodation section 30 is configured to make the light source cell 21 with said structure can insert accommodation section 30/ along the bearing of trend (being first direction D1) of light source 30 to extract from the accommodation section.Particularly, accommodation section 30 has guide portion, makes light source cell 21 to be inserted/removes along bearing of trend D1.This guide portion is located in photoconduction 22, framework 23 and the heat sink 24 that constitutes accommodation section 30 at least one.For example, as shown in Figure 2, because the interior shape in the cross section of the outer shape in the cross section of the radiating component 43 of light source cell 21 and accommodation section 30 is basic identical, so light source cell 21 can be inserted in the accommodation section 30 when being directed.In addition, accommodation section 30 has the recess of the insertion section 43E that has wherein inserted light source cell 21.Though this recess is not shown, for example be formed on the framework 23.
As mentioned above, the light source cell 21 that is inserted in the accommodation section 30 is located at the precalculated position by guide portion and recess.In addition, be inserted at light source cell 21 under the state of accommodation section 30, as shown in Figure 5, the handle part 43F of radiating component 43 is threadedly connected on the framework 23.Particularly, screw SC1 is inserted from the screw H1 that is formed on the handle part 43F, and be fixed in framework 23.Thereby, under light source cell 21 is located in state in the accommodation section 30, light source cell 21 is fixed on the framework 23.
Like this, be inserted at light source cell 21 under the state of accommodation section 30, as shown in Figure 2, the light-emitting area 41E of light emitting diode 41 is relative with the end face of photoconduction 22, and the reflecting part 43B of radiating component 43 contacts with heat sink 24.At this moment, the support 43A of radiating component 43 contacts with framework 23 with reflecting part 43C.
In this case, to separate be desirable to the end face of the light-emitting area 41E of light emitting diode 41 and photoconduction 22.Because light emitting diode 41 is thermals source, therefore if light emitting diode 41 contacts with photoconduction 22, the problem of photoconduction 22 distortion may take place then to cause because of the influence of this heat.In first embodiment,, therefore need not by making light emitting diode 41 contact positioned light source unit 21 with photoconduction 22 owing to be under light source cell 21 is inserted in state in the accommodation section 30, light source cell 21 to be positioned.
According to said structure, in light source cell 21, be equipped with as the film substrate 42 of a plurality of light emitting diodes of thermal source attached with radiating component 43 on it by adhesive tape 44 with heat dissipating.Therefore, the heat that produces in the light emitting diode 41 can escape into radiating component 43 by adhesive tape 44 from film substrate 42.Especially, do not play the air of heat guard effect etc. between them because film substrate 42 is attached to support 43A, therefore the heat from light emitting diode 41 can directly escape into radiating component 43 from film substrate 42, and can improve radiating efficiency.
In addition, be inserted at light source cell 21 under the state of accommodation section 30, radiating component 43 contacts with heat sink 24.Therefore, the heat that produces from light emitting diode 41 also can escape into heat sink 24 from the radiating component 43 of light source cell 21.By heat dissipation path is increased heat sink 24, to compare with the situation of only using radiating component 43, thermal capacity increases, and can further improve radiating efficiency.And, because heat sink 24 is exposed to extraneous air, therefore can further improve radiating efficiency.
Thereby, can under low relatively temperature environment, drive light emitting diode 41, and the life-span of light emitting diode 41 is increased.
In addition, for example needing to replace under the situation of light source cell 21 because of light emitting diode 41 deteriorations, as shown in Figure 5, can along the bearing of trend of light source cell 21 side direction of light source cell 21 30 past liquid crystal indicators 1 from the accommodation section be extracted (side direction is pulled out mode) by the handle part 43F that keeps radiating component 43.Thus, can be easily light source cell 21 be replaced as individual unit.
Be inserted at light source cell 21 under the state of accommodation section 30, the reflecting part 43B of radiating component 43 and heat sink 24 fixedly are desirable by screw SC2.For example, as shown in Figure 6,, can improve the adhesiveness between radiating component 43 and the heat sink 24 by be threaded (two positions is threaded the example shown in Figure 6) from the dorsal part of liquid crystal indicator 1.Thereby, can further improve from the heat radiation of radiating component 43 to heat sink 24.
The variation of first embodiment then, is described.In example shown in Figure 2, by the sealing of joint filling for example or be threaded and heat sink 24 be fixed to the outside of framework 23.In this variation, different with the example of Fig. 2 as shown in Figure 7, heat sink 24 is arranged at the inboard of framework 23, and contacts with the support 43A of radiating component 43.This heat sink 24 seals or is threaded by for example joint filling and fixed.According to the variation of this structure, be inserted at light source cell 21 under the state of accommodation section 30, be not only reflecting part 43B and contact, and the support 43A of heat sink 43 also contacts with heat sink 24 with heat sink 24.Therefore, compare with the example that support 43A contacts, can further improve radiating efficiency with resinous framework 23 among Fig. 2.
According to above-mentioned first embodiment, light source cell 21 comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes 41 of arranging and install along first direction D1.The accommodation section 30 that is surrounded by photoconduction 22, framework 23 and heat sink 24 is configured to insert/to extract light source cell 21 along first direction D1.By 30 extracting light source cell 21, can easily replace light source cell 21 from the accommodation section.
In addition, in light source cell 21, can improve from the heat dissipating of the heat of light emitting diode 41 generations.Thus, light emitting diode 41 can be under low temperature environment, driven, and the life-span of light emitting diode 41 can be increased.
The width of the adhesive tape 44 that adopts among this first embodiment preferably should be equal to or greater than the width (promptly along third direction D3 length) of film substrate 42.
Equal at the width of adhesive tape 44 under the situation (1mm) of width less than the width of film substrate 42 of the situation (3mm) of the width of film substrate 42 and adhesive tape 44, relatively the temperature rising value of light emitting diode 41.Fig. 8 illustrates the comparative result of the temperature rising value under each bandwidth.
Here, the temperature rising value is defined as the temperature of the light emitting diode 41 before driving and temperature poor of the light emitting diode 41 after the electric current of scheduled volume and the stable moment of light emitting diode rise through two hours is provided to light emitting diode 41.
Width at adhesive tape 44 is under the situation of 1mm, and the temperature rising value is 34.9 ℃ when light emitting diode 41 provides the electric current of 75mA, and the temperature rising value is 79.6 ℃ when light emitting diode 41 provides the electric current of 150mA.
On the other hand, be under the situation of 3mm at the width of adhesive tape 44, the temperature rising value is 22.8 ℃ when light emitting diode 41 provides the electric current of 75mA, and the temperature rising value is 54.9 ℃ when light emitting diode 41 provides the electric current of 150mA.
Under the situation of width less than the width of film substrate 42 of adhesive tape 44, heat reduces from the path that film substrate 42 escapes into radiating component 43.In addition, in the part that does not have adhesive tape 44, have air layer between film substrate 42 and radiating component 43, this air layer makes between film substrate 42 and the radiating component 43 heat insulation.Therefore, can't obtain enough radiating effects, and cause the temperature of light emitting diode 41 to rise.
Thereby the adhesive tape 44 that adopts its width to be equal to or greater than the width of film substrate 42 is desirable.Thus, can make the bonding of film substrate 42 with its surperficial relative whole surface and radiating component 43 that light emitting diode 41 is installed.Thereby, can guarantee enough heat paths, and between film substrate 42 and radiating component 43, not have air layer.
Then, the second embodiment of the present invention is described.
