Embodiment
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing preferable example of the present invention is described.Fig. 1 is the broad cross-section map about the structure of the direct-type backlight of an example of full run-down type surface illuminating device of the present invention.Comprise that about the formation of the direct-type backlight 10 of this example for example being configured in the rear side of liquid crystal indicator uses, and the lower frame 12 of an opening, the full run-down type that is configured with the form of stopping up aforementioned opening with light-emitting area member (following is called [light-emitting area member]) 20, be configured in aforementioned light-emitting area member 20 the behind (under) the upper ledge (not shown) of light source 13, the prismatic lens 30 that is configured in the top of aforementioned light-emitting area member 20, the top that is configured in aforementioned light-emitting area member 20 and covering lower frame 12.And, utilize lower frame 12 and not shown upper ledge to constitute the framework of direct-type backlight.
Lower frame 12 is formed by various metal materials or resin material, the form that has the bottom surface of rectangle, enlarges with this opening to the open side side (side, left and right side up and down) that prolongation is provided with that tilts from the bottom surface, and form the shape that one side (Fig. 1's is top) has big opening.Reflector plates such as white color system scattered reflection sheet or metallic luster reflector plate are laid in each side and bottom surface, or apply white coating etc., with formation diffusely reflecting surface or normal reflection face, and the light that can effectively utilize light source 13 to send.But,, be good so form diffusely reflecting surface because under the situation of normal reflection face, be easy to generate lamp shadow.
On the other hand, the upper ledge utilization for example forms with lower frame 12 congener formation materials, have to the outside penetrate light window portion above, go up towards open side from this and to extend the side (side, left and right side up and down) that is provided with, and formation can utilize this opening to cover the shape of aforementioned lower frame 12.
With reference to Fig. 2, light source 13 utilizes the lamp of white resin systems such as polycarbonate to support seat (not shown), support many (for example 12) for example diameter count the linear light source 13a such as fluorescent lamp of the elongated cold cathode cast about mm and constitute, and be incorporated in the lower frame 12.Each linear light source 13a the behind of light-emitting area member 20 (under) with certain spacing (distance between each linear light source 13a) configuration side by side.Here, spacing L takes the circumstances into consideration to determine according to the size of direct-type backlight 10 etc., but under 15 inches situation for example, is set to more than or equal to 15mm, smaller or equal to 35mm.In addition, be connected with not shown well-known electric components such as phase inverter, with the light-off of lighting a lamp at light source 13.
Light-emitting area member 20 have plane body 21, the integrally formed sensitive surface portion 22 of the one side side (light source 13 sides) of this plane body 21, the another side side of aforementioned plane body 21 integrally formed luminous facial 23.And, the rigidity that the thickness of light-emitting area member 20 can this degree of deflection in order to ensure on the opening that is disposed at lower frame 12 time, it is good being set at more than or equal to 1.5mm, is more preferred from more than or equal to 2.0mm.But, if blocked up then might cause weight to rise and cost up, would be good so be set at smaller or equal to 3.0mm.
And plane body 21 utilizes various colourless transparent materials such as transparent resin (acrylic resin etc.) or glass and forms water white plate shaped.This plane body 21 does not contain the diffusant that is used to make through light diffusion (at random), and different with known diffuser plate, light transmission rate is very high.Specifically, the light transmission rate of plane body 21 self is more than or equal to 80%, is preferably more than or equal to 95%.
And, luminous facial 23 make many to have plane body 21 raised line 25 of the section triangle of (for example 60 °) dip plane (non-horizontal surface) 25a, 25b of tilting at a certain angle, with utilize the parallel and formation arranged side by side of the formed crest line 25c of its dip plane 25a and dip plane 25b, constitute lens face (prism facets).The height of each raised line 25 is set to smaller or equal to 30 μ m, and luminous facial 23 thickness is compared quite little with the thickness of plane body 21.In addition, in each accompanying drawing of this instructions, amplify expression in order to emphasize raised line 25.
The spacing of luminous facial 23 raised line 25 (distance between the crest line 25c of each raised line 25) P1, it is good being set to smaller or equal to 500 μ m, is more preferred from smaller or equal to 100 μ m.Why like this, though be because the image of linear light source 13a is decomposed by utilizing dip plane 25a, 25b light is reflected and penetrating to different directions, but P1 is excessive as spacing, the image of linear light source 13a is decomposed morely, or more light is penetrated to normal direction (frontal) direction in addition of luminous facial 23a.And, also, then might make the lines of raised line become showy, luminous grade variation because too big as spacing P1.
Each raised line 25 of luminous facial 23 is so that the roughly the same form of long side direction of the direction of its crest line 25c and linear light 13a and forming.By this, the image of linear light source 13a can similarly be decomposed in the arbitrary place on luminous facial 23, so help the homogenising of luminous facial 23 Luminance Distribution.
As described above luminous facial 23 utilize for example injection moulding etc. and integrally formed with plane body 21, or be fitted on the plane body 21, or utilize transparent sticker to be fitted on the plane body 21 the well-known lens (prismatic lens) and form by the buckle layer (layers of prisms) that makes mades such as UV hardening resin.
In addition, luminous facial 23 raised line 25 is not limited to section triangle as described above, also can be the raised line of the section polygon of section pentagon shape (with reference to Fig. 3) with dip plane 41a, 41b, 41c, 41d etc., or has a raised line of the section semi-circular shape (lenticular is with reference to Fig. 4) of the curved surface 42 that is set to the certain curvature radius.As be section pentagon shape or section semi-circular shape, because the image of linear light source 13a decomposed more, thus the generation of lamp shadow can further be suppressed, and help the homogenising of the brightness of light-emitting area.That is, in the present invention, luminous facial 23 constitute by being formed with a plurality of raised lines 25 with at least a non-horizontal surface (to plane body 21 uneven faces) in dip plane and the curved surface.
And, sensitive surface portion 22 as shown in Figure 5, be formed on the thin diffusion pearl layer (light diffusion part) that diffusants 28 such as making pearl in the transparent base layer 27 of ultraviolet light absorbers such as containing good benzophenone series of photostability or benzoic ether system disperses, and the light that can utilize diffusant 28 that sensitive surface portion 22 is received spreads (at random).Diffusant 28 is so that the mist degree (haze) of light-emitting area member 20 integral body value (turbidity value, cloud value) is more than or equal to 70%, is more preferred from more than or equal to 85% form to disperse in transparent base layer 27.Because little as haze value, then the amount of diffusant 28 is very few, might can't obtain diffusion effect fully in sensitive surface portion 22.And in order to obtain the light diffusion effect, it is good that the thickness of sensitive surface portion 22 is set to more than or equal to 1.0 μ m.But, then same if too in thick with known diffuser plate, might fully obtain the effect that the generation of lamp shadow that luminous facial 23 raised line 25 is caused suppresses, be good so be set to smaller or equal to 5.0 μ m.
With reference to Fig. 6, lens (prismatic lens) 30 makes many raised lines 35 with section triangle of dip plane 35a, 35b, form side by side and constitute with certain spacing P2 (for example about 100 μ m), and be configured in aforementioned light-emitting area member 20 luminous facial 23 on.Specifically, so that the crest line 25c direction of luminous facial 23 raised line 25 of light-emitting area member 20, and formed angle θ between the crest line 35c direction of the raised line 35 of lens 30, be in according to more than or equal to 45 °, carry out mounting smaller or equal to the form in 90 ° the scope.Here, angle θ being in the above-mentioned scope, is owing to following reason.That is, angle θ is big more, and brightness is high more, reaches maximum in the time of 90 °.Yet, though above-mentioned light-emitting area member 20 exists the lamp shadow of frontal (normal direction of light-emitting area member 20) good, when looking into the distance light-emitting area member 20 from vergence direction, the problem of lamp shadow variation.This be because, because the crest line 25c direction of luminous facial 21 raised line 25 of light-emitting area member 20 is the direction identical with the long side direction of linear light source 13a, so under the situation of looking into the distance from vergence direction, the image that can regard linear light source 13a as is undecomposed.By this, when the crest line 35c of the raised line 35 that makes lens 30 direction, to the crest line 25c direction of long side direction and luminous facial 23 the raised line 25 of linear light source 13a, when tilting with certain angle, but the limits vision angle, the result can improve the lamp shadow of linear light source 13a more.And the effect of improving of this lamp shadow reaches maximum when angle θ is 45 °.Thus, lens face 30 considers that brightness improve effects and lamp shadow improves effect, make angle θ according to more than or equal to 45 °, be configured to good smaller or equal to the suitable angle in 90 ° of scopes.In addition, as make angle θ=0 ° and configuration lens 30, then produce Moire fringe (interference fringe), so be configured not good with this angle θ.
Here, in following table 1, represent the relative position relation of linear light source 13a, light-emitting area member 20, lens 30, with the luminance of this moment.

In direct-type backlight 10 about this example of adopting above-mentioned formation, use to be formed with luminous facial 23 light-emitting area member 20, wherein this luminous facial 23 has specific raised line 25 on the one side of water white plane body 21.Therefore, when rearward (under) light of the light source 13 of configuration is when luminous facial 23 of light-emitting area member 20 penetrates, the image of light source 13 of resulting from is broken down into a plurality of.By this, can suppress the generation of lamp shadow effectively.Specifically, though in side lamp profile light-emitting device of known techniques etc., use lens to improve sheet, but this lens to be in order concentrating light and the brightness that improves frontal is used to frontal, and to be not used in to make and to result from the image of light source 13 and be decomposed into a plurality of as brightness.Promptly, known techniques is to utilize the light of homogenized light such as diffusion sheet as the incident lens by supposition, and utilize lens to carry out light harvesting this incident light to frontal, and and play the effect that improves brightness, do not play being decomposed into a plurality of effects with resulting from the image of light source 13.To this, in this example, though spread from the light of light source 13 light diffusion part by sensitive surface portion 22, in the light that has seen through this sensitive surface portion 22, residual have result from the image of light source 13.And sensitive surface portion 22 forms one with plane body 21, and is formed with luminous facial 23 on this plane body 21.Therefore, in light transmission plane body 22 incidents that received by sensitive surface portion 22 luminous facial 23 o'clock, also residual have result from the image of light source 13, by this image is decomposed by luminous facial 23 specific raised line, can suppress the generation of lamp shadow effectively.Promptly, luminous facial 23 of this example has known lens can not bring into play function, be decomposed into a plurality of functions with resulting from the image of light source 13, and by making this bring into play this function, can suppress the peculiar problem of full run-down type surface illuminating device effectively is the generation of lamp shadow.
And the light-emitting area member 20 water white material formation owing to its plane body 21 utilizes about this example so compare with the diffuser plate that makes the diffusant diffusion, can improve brightness.In addition, because sensitive surface portion 22 forms a kind of diffusion pearl layer (light diffusion part) that contains ultraviolet light absorber,, and also can utilize the light diffusion effect to seek the homogenising of luminous facial 23 Luminance Distribution so photostability is good.And, because that the light that will utilize sensitive surface portion 22 to be spread is decomposed into by luminous facial 23 is a plurality of, so can suppress lamp shadow more.And, owing to have the big plane body 21 of thickness to luminous facial 23 from sensitive surface portion 22, so utilize the diffusion pearl layer (light diffusion part) of sensitive surface portion 22 to spread fully, thereby can utilize luminous facial 23 pairs of images that result from light source 13 to decompose, and suppress lamp shadow more.And, in known diffuser plate, owing to be in diffuser plate integral body, to disperse to be used for light absorbing diffusant, so the loss of light is quite big, but in light-emitting area member 20 about this example, owing to only make diffusant dispersion in thin diffusion pearl layer (light diffusion part), so the loss of light is diminished and seek high brightnessization.By this, the direct-type backlight 10 about this example of utilizing this light-emitting area member 20 forms the good direct-type backlight of luminous grade.
And, in direct-type backlight 10,, can reduce Master Cost so have even do not use more various optical sheets also comparatively bright about this example, and can reduce the time that is used to remove the foreign matter between optical sheet, and suppress because of sneaking into the advantage of the bad phenomenon that foreign matter causes.In addition, particularly in large-scale direct-type backlight, though also have the problem that has the deflection and the distortion that are easy to generate optical sheet, the advantage that this problem also reduces.In addition, in direct-type backlight 10 about this example, when in plane body 21, using water white glass, thermal expansion that heat caused and the warpage sent because of light source are few, can make the distance of light source 13 and light-emitting area member 20 approaching so also have, the advantage that can seek slimming.And in the direct-type backlight 10 about this example, when sensitive surface portion 22 forms the light diffusion parts, and the bottom surface of lower frame 12 and side be when forming diffusely reflecting surface, has each diffusion is interacted, and suppresses the advantage of lamp shadow more effectively.
Here, the validation test that the present inventor is carried out is illustrated.In this validation test, (section is the raised line of semi-circular shape to form biconvex lens by preparation on the one side of the water white transparency tabular body (thickness 2mm) of acrylic resin system, height=100 μ m, spacing P1=250 μ m), and the light-emitting area member (enforcement sample) that on another side, forms the diffusion pearl layer (haze value 82%) of thick 20 μ m and constitute, milky diffuser plate (light transmission rate 53% with the acrylic resin system that diffusant is disperseed, thick 2mm) the light-emitting area member (comparative sample) that is constituted, the light-emitting area member of using as 20 inches direct-type backlight, and after being separately positioned on them on the opening portion of direct-type backlight lower frame, again at each luminous facing side mounting prismatic lens (spacing P2=50 μ m), and to whether producing lamp shadow and brightness is investigated.By the result as can be known, light-emitting area member and the comparative sample of implementing sample are same, can not find lamp shadow, and brightness be comparative sample brightness 118%.Can confirm that by this light-emitting area member of implementing sample can suppress the generation of lamp shadow, and can realize high brightnessization.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned example.For example, require under the not strong situation in the homogenising to luminous facial 23 Luminance Distribution, sensitive surface portion 22 can be not the light diffusion part also, and is the surface (formation sensitive surface) of plane body 21.And the light diffusion part of sensitive surface portion 22 also can be with haze value more than or equal to 70% diffusion sheet, utilizes the sticker that contains the sticker of diffusant or do not contain diffusant to fit and form.And, under the situation of the homogenising that does not require very high brightness and Luminance Distribution, also can not use lens 30.
In addition, light-emitting area member 20 also may not be seized on both sides by the arms between lower frame 12 and upper ledge, also configurable upside at upper ledge.And the bottom surface of lower frame 12 also may not be smooth, also can be the shape of waveform.
And the employed direct-type backlight of rear side that full run-down type surface illuminating device of the present invention is not limited to liquid crystal indicator also can be used as the inspection box, the needs that are used to see X-ray photograph billboard backlight, is used to see the uses such as device of photographic negative.
