Abstract

The planar light source structure includes two light sources and two wedged light guiding boards connected to each other. Each of the wedged light guiding boards has one converting plane to convert the light beams from the two light sources in one end of the light guiding board separately to the same direction in near perpendicular mode. The two wedged light guiding boards are connected to form turned-V bevels or curved surfaces to raise the brightness of planar light source.

Description

The flat light source structure
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of structure of flat light source, particularly relate to a kind of flat light source structure in conjunction with two wedge type light guide plate.
Background technology
In many display device, need flat light source, for example LCD or scanner.Major part is a pointolite in conventional lighting sources, for example light emitting diode or incandescent lamp bulb.And some light source is a wire, for example the cold cathode fluorescent tube.Use flat light source if desired, a kind of mode is that top pointolite is arranged in array, or the line source that forms a line.Yet the electricity wasting that this mode is not only suitable is for also being quite disadvantageous in the consideration of cost.
A kind of mode that forms flat light source is to use light guide plate (light guide plate).Shown in Figure 1A and Figure 1B, present most light guide plate is respectively wedge type (wedge) plate 10 or dull and stereotyped 20.No matter be the wedge type plate of Figure 1A or the flat board of Figure 1B, the light source 12,22 that all light guide plate all will be positioned at end surfaces imports light guide plate 10,20, utilizes V-type tangent plane or site that light source is up derived again.At present, many improvement are arranged,, use a water chestnut mirror to be positioned on the light guide plate to prevent directly to see that from light source light improves the uniformity coefficient of light as Application No. 20020005991 for the wedge type light guide plate shown in Figure 1A.
Yet, in any case the resulting flat light source of this dual mode still has inborn shortcoming.At first, shown in the wedge type plate 10 of Figure 1A, the brightness of light source 12 concentrates on 1/3rd light guide plate length parts near light source 12 usually, has the problem of light source left and right sides uniformity coefficient inequality.In addition, shown in Figure 1B, use the flat light guide plate 20 of two light sources 22, though can reduce the problem of light source left and right sides uniformity coefficient, it is minimum being positioned at light guide plate 20 middle brightness.
The mode that another solves the light source uniformity coefficient as shown in Figure 2, is proposed by Fujitsu, mainly provides a kind of light conducting plate structure of hollow type.Light earlier through lens 32, then by the specific refraction condition of the specific conditioned reflex of two lens 34 and two control strips 36, is directed to light via lens combination 38 panel of LCD again after both sides light source 30 emission.In addition, add that in the bottom in two saturating borders 34 two reflector plates 40 are to increase brightness.Yet the flat light source structure of this complexity not only can increase difficulty and cost in the manufacturing, also can reduce the qualification rate of making simultaneously.
Summary of the invention

Embodiment
Some embodiments of the present invention can be described in detail as follows.Yet except describing in detail, the present invention can also be widely implements at other embodiment, and scope of the present invention do not limited, its with after claim be as the criterion.
The present invention mainly provides a kind of flat light source structure, comprises two light sources; And the light guide plate of a bottom indent, have a steering surface and will lay respectively at the light that two light sources of two end surfaces of wedge type light guide plate are sent and forward same direction in subvertical mode.Above-mentioned steering surface is selected in the group that inverted V-shaped inclined-plane, arc-shaped curved surface and part are also partly formed for arc-shaped curved surface for the inclined-plane.The part inclined-plane of above-mentioned steering surface accounts for 1/3rd of aforesaid light guide plate length.The aforementioned steering surface of above-mentioned light guide plate can have V-type tangent plane or site, and the aforementioned relatively steering surface of above-mentioned light guide plate can have V-type tangent plane or site.Above-mentioned light source can be cold cathode fluorescent tube or light emitting diode.
Above-mentioned flat light source can be applied in backlight or front light-source.When being applied in backlight, can arrange in pairs or groups and use a reflector plate to be positioned at the relative side of aforementioned wedge type light guide plate for aforementioned turn light rays, or a rhombus lens or diffusion sheet is positioned at the side that aforementioned wedge type light guide plate is positioned at aforesaid turn light rays.
Next, the embodiment of a flat light source structure is described according to the present invention.As shown in Figure 3, two interconnective wedge type light guide plate 120, the reflecting surface under it thereby form an approximate reverse V-shaped tangent plane 122.Two light sources 110 lay respectively at the both sides of these two interconnected light guide plate 120, and wherein these two light sources 110 can be cold cathode fluorescent tube or light emitting diode.Steering surface 122 in these two interconnected light guide plate 120 can design V-type tangent plane or site, and is derived and also can design the V-type tangent plane with respect to the position of steering surface 122 at light source 110.Flat light source structure in the present embodiment can be applied in the front light-source or the backlight of LCD.When planar light-source structure as the front light-source of LCD the time, this LCD is a reflective liquid-crystal display.In one embodiment of the invention, steering surface 122 can be complete inclined-plane.
As shown in Figure 4, it is an alternative embodiment of the invention.Similar with the described embodiment of Fig. 3, be that original similar reverse V-shaped steering surface 123 is designed to curved surface, to improve the brightness uniformity in the middle of light guide plate 120.This is because the brightness of wedge type light guide plate 120 in distance light source farthest is the darkest, and steering surface 123 is for curved surface or the inclined-plane has different reflection and the refraction condition makes light guide plate 120 be compensated in the brightness of centre fully.
As shown in Figure 5, it is another preferred embodiment of the present invention.Comparing with the embodiment of Fig. 4 with Fig. 3 of front, is the combination that steering surface 124 is designed to complete inclined-plane and curved surface.This is because use the steering surface on complete inclined-plane can obtain preferable light source homogeneity in the place near light source 110, and the steering surface of the use of the place in the middle of light guide plate 120 curved surface can compensate for brightness.A kind of preferable combination is that steering surface 124 is designed to complete inclined-plane in the place near the single light guide plate length of light source 1/110th 3, and is designed to curved surface at other local steering surface 124.
The present invention utilizes the goodish advantage of truly having of interconnected light guide plate.At first, the brightness of flat light source and uniformity coefficient all can improve, and particularly the steering surface of light guide plate can be selected complete inclined-plane, curved surface, or two kinds combination.Because the brightness and the uniformity coefficient of light source can increase, relatively the life-span of light source module is improved.In addition, with respect to traditional flat board, the weight of light source module of the present invention can reduce.
The above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not in order to limit the present invention; All other do not break away from the equivalence of being finished under the disclosed spirit and changes or modification, all should be included in the claim.
