Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress the generation stripe pattern-like uneven light which appears near the end face of a light transmission plate and is visually unpleasant by controlling the direction of reflected light at the end face of the light transmission plate and to obtain the high grade surface illumination. CONSTITUTION:A light source 2 is disposed at the end face 7 of the polymer light transmission plate 1 having a nonuniform structure subjected a mirophase sepn. A reflection plate 4 is placed on the rear side of the light transmission plate 1. Light is emitted from the light exit surface 5. The end face 10 of the light transmission plate 1 is a diffusion surface. The diffusion surface is formed by coating the surface with a white paint or forming the surface as a satin form or bringing a metallic plate or film having a satin surface into tight contact therewith. The rays reflect on the end face 10 and tend to return again are diffused and reflected, and therefore the beats of the stripe pattern-like light do not arise. A light absorbent member 11 is otherwise brought into tight contact with a part or the whole of the end face 10 exclusive of the light incident end face 7. The end face 10 is otherwise formed from a curved surface. A transparent material 13 is otherwise brought into tight contact with the end face 10.

1992) As published by Koike et al. In Volume 41, No. 3, page 802, a heterogeneous structure having various correlation distances was formed in a polymer solid and processed into a rod shape or a plane shape. A high-brightness light-scattering transmitter that scatters and irradiates light with high efficiency has been proposed. This is not the traditional method of mixing a light diffusing material into a transparent resin, but it is said that if a heterogeneous structure with microphase separation is formed with multiple polymers, light will be scattered at each interface, and a new lighting material. Attracted attention as. In the paper, there is a description of a backlight device having a configuration as shown in FIG. 6, and it is reported that it operates well.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the surface illuminating device of the present invention.
The light source 2 is arranged on the end face of the. A reflector 3 is provided around the light source 2 so that light can be efficiently introduced into the light guide plate 1.

A correlation distance of 00 nm to 1000 nm was provided. Figure 1
The light guide plate may have a substantially uniform thickness, but the light guide plate may be configured such that the thickness gradually decreases as the distance from the incident end face increases. The end surface 10 of the light guide plate is a diffusion surface, and white paint is actually applied, but the surface may be satin-finished or a metal plate or film on the satin-finished surface may be adhered. End face 1 as shown in FIG.
The light rays that are reflected at 0 and try to return again are diffusely reflected, so that the beat of the striped pattern as shown in FIG. 7 does not occur. In this case, since a slight beat of light is generated near the incident end face 7, the incident end face 7 may be a matte diffusion surface.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the surface illuminating device of the present invention, in which a light absorbing member 11 is brought into close contact with part or all of the end surface 10 except the light incident end surface 7.
The other components are the same as those in the embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, since the light rays reflected by the end faces are absorbed, the beat of the striped light is not generated, but a few percent of the light flux of the light source 2 is lost, which is suitable when the brightness has a margin. It should be noted that a means such as sticking black paint or black tape with an adhesive was effective for the light absorbing member 11.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the surface lighting device of the present invention, in which a diffusion surface 12 is arranged near the end face 10. In this case, the light reflected by the end surface 10 and returning to the diffused surface 12 becomes diffused light, so that a regular beat of light cannot be generated. The diffusing surface 12 is preferably roughened by sanding the light guide plate 1 or the like, and the width (t in the figure) of the processed surface is the end face 10 of the light guide plate 1.
If the thickness is almost equal to the thickness d in the part, the effect is sufficiently obtained. This is because the principal ray reflected by the end surface of the light guide plate 1 and returning is the light exit surface 5
This is because the longest distance t to reach is given by t = d · cot (sin -1 (1 / N)) in consideration of the critical angle of the light guide plate 1. Here, N is the average refractive index of the light guide plate 1. It goes without saying that the efficiency is improved by disposing the end face reflection plate 20 outside the end face 10.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the surface lighting device of the present invention, in which the end surface 10 is formed as a curved surface.
The shape of this curved surface was preferably a cylindrical surface, an elliptical surface, a parabolic surface, or the like, but the purpose of forming a curved surface is to return the light rays incident on the end surface 10 in random directions, and is not limited to this. Other free-form surfaces may be used. The efficiency of the light guide plate is improved by disposing the end face reflection plate 20 outside the end face 10. Further, if the incident end face 7 is formed into a curved surface, the incident efficiency of light is reduced and the illumination brightness is lowered. Therefore, with respect to the beat of light generated near the incident end face 7, FIG. 1 or FIG. It was effective to take countermeasures by using the method of 5 together.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing still another embodiment of the surface lighting device of the present invention, in which a transparent member 13 is closely attached to the end face 10. The light ray that has reached the end surface 10 does not reflect, travels as it is, and is reflected by the end surface 14 of the transparent member 13 and returns, so that the principal ray reaches a position displaced by the optical path length. Therefore, in this case as well, the beat of light having a striped pattern does not occur. When the length L of the transparent member 13 was set to various values in an actual test, L = d (n-
In the case of 0.5), generation of light beat was confirmed. Therefore, it is necessary to set L ≠ d (n−0.5). Here, d is the thickness at the end face of the light guide plate, and n is a natural number. Transparent PMMA or the like is suitable for the transparent member 13, and the light guide plate efficiency is improved by disposing the end face reflection plate 20 on the end face 14 of the transparent member. Length L of transparent member 13
Regardless of the generation of light beats, the transparent member end surface 14 may be a diffusion surface. As described above, there may be a slight light beat near the incident end face 7, in which case it was effective to bring the transparent member 13 into close contact with the incident end face.
