Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lighting device, a display device, and a television receiver.
- a liquid crystal panel used in a liquid crystal display device such as a liquid crystal television does not emit light, and thus requires a separate backlight device as an illumination device.

- the outer peripheral edge of the optical member is sandwiched between the receiving surface of the chassis and the frame. Since the outer peripheral edge portion cannot be displaced when expanded or thermally contracted, there is a possibility that bending or warping is concentrated on the screen center side portion of the optical member. Therefore, if the frame is arranged at a position away from the optical member and a clearance is set between them, the displacement of the outer peripheral edge of the optical member can be allowed, and the deflection and warpage of the optical member can be applied to the central portion of the screen. It can be made difficult to occur.
- the present inventors have come up with a structure in which the frame is removed and the liquid crystal panel is directly received by the optical member. However, if it does so, it will become difficult to ensure a clearance between a liquid crystal panel and an optical member, and there exists a possibility that the outer periphery part of an optical member may be restrained by a liquid crystal panel. In such a case, when the optical member is thermally expanded or contracted, bending or warpage tends to occur intensively in the screen center side portion of the optical member, and uneven brightness tends to occur in the backlight device.

- the edge part of the width direction in the peripheral part of the 2nd attachment hole 33 is functioning as an attachment control part which controls attachment of the lamp clip 18.
- This embodiment has the structure as described above, and its operation will be described next.
- the liquid crystal panel 11 and the backlight device 12 are separately manufactured and assembled to each other using the bezel 13 or the like, whereby the liquid crystal display device 10 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is manufactured.
- the assembly work of the backlight device 12, particularly the attachment work of the lamp clip 18 will be described in detail.
- the corresponding mounting holes 32 and 33 and the locking holes 52 are aligned so as to face the insertion holes 34 and 35. Then, the operation of attaching each lamp clip 18 to the chassis 14 is performed.
- the mounting direction of the lamp clip 18 with respect to the chassis 14 differs depending on which region A1, A2 of the chassis 14 is mounted. Specifically, the mounting direction of the lamp clip 18 is set to be opposite to each other in the first region A1 and the second region A2 with respect to the reference line L1 in the chassis 14, and the first region A1 has a first mounting direction ( The support pin 29 is eccentric in the downward direction shown in FIG.
- the second region A2 has a second attachment direction opposite to the first attachment direction (the support pin 29 is eccentric in the upward direction shown in FIG. 9). Mounting direction). Therefore, when the lamp clip 18 is attached, it is necessary to make the mounting orientation suitable for the attachment position to the chassis 14.
- the lamp clip 18 is moved in the Z-axis direction so as to approach the chassis 14 side from the state shown in FIG. 18, and the main body 27 is opposite to the support pin 29 side.
- the first attachment portion 30 that protrudes forward in the attachment direction from the end portion is inserted into the first insertion hole 34 and the first attachment hole 32 in advance so that the side end portion is lowered.
- the guide surface 48 a of the guide portion 48 formed at the distal end portion of the first mounting portion 30 is in sliding contact with the hole edge portion of the first mounting hole 32, so that smooth insertion is achieved. Is planned.
- the second attachment portion 31 is inserted into the second insertion hole 35 and the second attachment hole 33 while the main body portion 27 is displaced to a posture that is parallel to the chassis 14 and the bottom plate of the reflection sheet 23. If the piece 47 of the first mounting portion 30 protrudes from the back side of the chassis 14, the main body 27 is moved in the extending direction of the pieces 47 and 50 before the second mounting portion 31 is inserted. You may slide it slightly.
- the main body 27 is extended in the extending direction of the pieces 47 and 50 from the state in which the pieces 47 and 50 of the first attachment portion 30 and the second attachment portion 31 protrude to the back side of the chassis 14.
- each piece 47, 50 faces the back surface of the chassis 14, and in the mounting direction at the hole edge of each mounting hole 32, 33. Abuts or approaches the front.
- the piece portion 50 is temporarily elastically deformed. Then, when the lamp clip 18 slides a predetermined distance, as shown in FIG.
- the locking projection 51 enters the locking hole 52 and the piece 50 is elastically restored, and the locking surface 51b of the locking projection 51 is restored. Is locked to the inner peripheral surface of the locking hole 52. This prevents the lamp clip 18 from inadvertently moving in the direction opposite to the mounting direction (removal direction, left side shown in FIG. 12). At this time, since the sound is generated by hitting the back surface of the chassis 14 while the one portion 50 is restored, the operator can obtain a strong moderation feeling (click feeling), and the lamp clip 18 can be attached to the regular mounting position (the retaining position). ).
- the case where the mounting direction of the lamp clip 18 is opposite to the normal direction (an installation state different from the normal direction) will be described. Even if it is attempted to attach the lamp clip 18 in the wrong orientation, the attachment portions 30 and 31 having different width dimensions W1 and W2 are inconsistent with the attachment holes 32 and 33 that should originally correspond. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 21, the end in the width direction of the first mounting portion 30 (relatively larger first mounting portion 30) having a relatively (relatively) large width dimension W1 is relatively ( Relatively, it interferes reliably with the edge part of the width direction among the peripheral parts of the 2nd attachment hole 33 (relatively smaller 2nd attachment hole 33) of the small width dimension W4.
- the length dimensions of the second mounting portion 31 and the second mounting hole 33 are set larger than the length dimensions of the first mounting portion 30 and the first mounting hole 32, the length of the second mounting portion 31 is increased.
- the end in the vertical direction interferes with the end in the length direction of the peripheral edge of the first mounting hole 32. Accordingly, the first mounting portion 30 cannot be inserted into the second mounting hole 33, and the main body portion 27 is lifted from the chassis 14 and the reflection sheet 23. Thereby, the operator can be surely aware of the situation in which the mounting direction is incorrect.
- the mounting direction of the lamp clip 18 is opposite to the normal direction and the lamp clip 18 is deviated from the planned mounting position in the chassis 14 in the length direction of the main body 27 (short side direction of the chassis 14).
- the first attachment portion 30 enters the first attachment hole 32 or the second attachment portion 31 enters the second attachment hole 33.
- the other attachment portion different from the one attachment portion that can enter is not aligned with the corresponding attachment hole, and the other attachment portion is placed on the reflection sheet 23 and the main body portion 27 is lifted. Since it becomes a state, the operator can notice the situation where the mounting direction was wrong.
- the mounting holes 32 and 33 arranged in the short side direction of the chassis 14 have the mounting direction of the lamp clip 18 mounted in the adjacent position in the short side direction opposite to the normal direction, and the lamp clip 18 has the mounting direction.
- the lamp clip 18 is not aligned with the mounting portions 30 and 31 of the lamp clip 18.
- each lamp clip 18 is restricted unless the mounting direction (mounting posture, mounting state) conforms to each of the areas A1 and A2 in the chassis 14. Therefore, in a state where all the lamp clips 18 are attached to the chassis 14, as shown in FIG. 9, the support pins 29 of the lamp clips 18 are surely aligned in a state of being eccentric to the reference line L1 side. Thereby, when the diffusion plate 15a is attached later, the center of the screen in the diffusion plate 15a can be favorably supported by the support pins 29, and the diffusion plate 15a can be used in the cold cathode tube even when thermal expansion or contraction occurs. It is difficult for the 17 side to bend or warp.
- the liquid crystal panel 11 is directly received by the diffusion plate 15a and the optical sheet 15b in order to reduce the thickness of the liquid crystal display device 10, the liquid crystal panel 11 is interposed between the diffusion plate 15a and the optical sheet 15b.
- the outer peripheral edge portions of the diffusion plate 15a and the optical sheet 15b are sandwiched between the holder 20 and the liquid crystal panel 11 and are easily restrained. There is a tendency. For this reason, expansion and contraction due to heat tends to occur (intensively) on the screen center side, but by consolidating the support pins 29 on the screen center side as described above, warping and bending of the diffusion plate 15a are caused. Therefore, the liquid crystal display device 10 is extremely suitable for thinning.
- the support pin 29 is eccentrically arranged on the side far from the reference line L1, and the support function of the diffusion plate 15a is increased. Although there is a risk of a decrease, such a situation can be reliably avoided.
- each cold cathode tube 17 is attached to each lamp gripping portion 28, and then the holder 20 is attached. After that, when the diffusion plate 15a and the optical sheets 15b are stacked, the liquid crystal panel 11 is further placed from the front side, and then the bezel 13 is assembled to assemble the liquid crystal display device 10.
- each cold cathode tube 17 in the backlight device 12 is turned on.
- the linear light emitted from each cold cathode tube 17 is irradiated to the diffusion plate 15a directly or after being reflected by the reflection sheet 23 or the lamp clip 18, and the diffusion plate 15a.
- the light is converted into planar light and then irradiated onto the liquid crystal panel 11.
- the cold cathode tube 17 is gripped by the lamp gripping portion 28, and the first support point S ⁇ b> 1 located immediately below the center C of the cold cathode tube 17 on the bottom surface of the lamp gripping portion 28 and the second of the holding projections 41.
- Three points are supported by the support point S2 and the third support point S3.
- a gap is secured between the support points S1 to S3 in the circumferential direction between the outer peripheral surface of the cold cathode tube 17 and the inner peripheral surfaces of both arm portions 39.
- the bottom surface between the arm portions 39 is at the center position (vertex P2) with respect to the length direction (X-axis direction) of the cold cathode tube 17, as shown in FIG.
- a pair of inclined surfaces 44 having the highest height and the lowest both end positions are formed, and the gap between the inclined surface 44 and the cold cathode tube 17 widens from the same central position to both end positions, that is, a hem-spread shape. ing. Therefore, the light emitted from the cold cathode tube 17 toward the bottom side of the lamp gripping portion 28 (chassis 14 side, directly below, directly behind) spreads toward the outside of the lamp gripping portion 28 in the length direction of the cold cathode tube 17.
- the light is efficiently emitted to the outside of the lamp gripping portion 28 through the gap in the form.
- light emitted from the cold cathode tube 17 toward the bottom surface of the lamp gripping portion 28 strikes the inclined surface 44 while passing through the gap, so that the lamp gripping portion 28 faces outward in the length direction of the cold cathode tube 17. Since the angle is set so as to reflect, almost no light is returned to the cold cathode tube 17 again, so that the light extraction efficiency is further improved.
- the bottom 43 of the lamp gripping portion 28 has a symmetrical shape and the inclined angles of both the inclined surfaces 44 are the same, the view from the apex P2 of both inclined surfaces 44 between the cold cathode tube 17 and the bottom 43 is shown in FIG.
- the light can be emitted almost evenly to the left and right shown in FIG.
- the protrusion 37 at the bottom 43 of the lamp gripping portion 28 has a triangular cross section, the light is reflected to the diffuser 15a side by the inclined surface 44 formed on the entire surface of the protrusion 37 of the bottom 43.
- the inclination angle of the inclined surface 44 can be made gentler, which is more suitable for making the light reflection efficiency uniform.
- an extended inclined surface 45 having the same gradient as the inclined surface 44 described above is formed not only on the bottom surface of the lamp gripping portion 28 but also on the entire inner peripheral surface of the arm portion 39, the holding projection 41, and the guide portion 42. Therefore, a gap is formed between the extended inclined surface 45 and the cold cathode tube 17 so as to gradually widen from the center position to the both end positions in the length direction of the cold cathode tube 17. Therefore, not only the light emitted from the cold cathode tube 17 to the bottom surface side but also the light emitted from both sides and the front side is passed through the gap between the extended inclined surface 45 to the outside of the lamp gripping portion 28.
- the angle of the cold cathode tube 17 is reflected so as to be reflected outward in the length direction of the cold cathode tube 17. The light extraction efficiency is even better.
- the main body 27 has a downward slope from the center position to both end positions in the width direction. Therefore, the light emitted from the cold-cathode tube 17 is favorably reflected toward the diffusion plate 15 a by hitting the inclined surface 38. At this time, the light reflected by the inclined surface 38 is angled outwardly of the main body 27 in the length direction of the cold cathode tube 17, which is suitable for reducing luminance unevenness.
- both end portions in the width direction along the length direction of the protruding portion 37 are thin over the entire area as compared with the central portion, and almost no step is generated between the pedestal portion 36 and the protruding portion 37.
- the protrusion 37 has a triangular cross section, the inclined surface 38 formed on the entire surface of the protrusion 37 can reflect the light toward the diffuser plate 15a. As compared with the case of the above, since the inclination angle of the inclined surface 38 can be made gentle, it is more suitable for making the light reflection efficiency uniform.
- the thickness dimension T1 at the apex P1 which is the projecting tip of the projecting portion 37
- the thickness dimension T2 of the pedestal portion 38 the amount of light reflected by the projecting portion 37 increases, and the pedestal portion 38 is It is hard to be visually recognized as a dark part.
- the light reflection efficiency on the surface of the main body 27 is made as uniform as possible, the darkness in the main body 27 can be prevented as much as possible.
- the insertion holes 34, 35 of the reflection sheet 23 are attached to the mounting holes 32 of the chassis 14 on the back side of the portion corresponding to the insertion holes 34, 35 of the reflection sheet 23. , 33, because the chassis 14 is directly disposed without the reflection sheet 23, if light can pass through the main body 27, the reflection sheet 23 and There is a concern that the chassis 14 having a low light reflectance is visually recognized as a dark part.
- a pedestal portion 36 having a sufficient thickness is formed on the back side of the thin portion of the protruding portion 37 and the mounting holes 32 and 33 and the insertion holes 34 and 35 are closed. Therefore, a situation in which light passes through the main body 27 is avoided, and the inner portions of the insertion holes 34 and 35 in the chassis 14 are prevented from being visually recognized as dark portions from the front side.
- the efficiency of extracting the light emitted from the cold cathode tube 17 is extremely high, and part of the lamp clip 18 and the chassis 14 is difficult to be visually recognized as a dark part.
- the light device 12 is made thinner, the distance between the liquid crystal panel 11 and the diffusion plate 15a and the optical sheet 15b, the distance between the diffusion plate 15a and the cold cathode tube 17 and the lamp clip 18, Even when the distance between the cathode tube 17 and the reflection sheet 23 is shortened, luminance unevenness is hardly caused, and thus a good display performance can be obtained even in the ultra-thin liquid crystal display device 10.
- the cold cathode tube 17 used in the present embodiment has a tube diameter of 4.0 mm, a distance between the cold cathode tube 17 and the reflection sheet 23 of 0.8 mm, and a distance between adjacent cold cathode tubes 17 of 16.
- the distance between the cold cathode tube 17 and the diffusion plate 15a is 2.7 mm.
- the backlight device 12 is thinned between the constituent members, and in particular, the distance between the cold cathode tube 17 and the diffusion plate 15a and the distance between the cold cathode tube 17 and the reflection sheet 23 are reduced. .
- the thickness of the liquid crystal display device 10 (that is, the thickness from the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 11 to the back surface of the backlight device 12) is 16 mm, and the thickness of the television receiver TV. That is, the thickness from the front surface cabinet Ca to the back surface of the back cabinet Cb is 34 mm, and a thin television receiver is realized.
- the diffusing plate (not shown) incorporated in the backlight device 12-A is a member that can be thermally expanded or contracted. This tends to depend on the heat distribution when the backlight device 12-A is turned on / off. If this heat distribution is uniform, the diffusion plate tends to expand and contract toward the center of the screen, but if the heat distribution is uneven, the portion of the diffusion plate that tends to expand and contract can be shifted from the center of the screen accordingly. . Therefore, by analyzing the heat distribution of the backlight device 12-A, the portion where the expansion and contraction is likely to occur in the diffusion plate is specified, and the reference of the bias arrangement of the support pins 29-A of each lamp clip 18-A is determined accordingly. The position of the reference line L1-A can be set.

- the backlight device 12-A convection in which warm air rises with lighting may occur, and in that case, the vertical direction when the liquid crystal display device is used in the backlight device 12-A.
- the upper part of the top is hotter than the lower part. Since the diffusion plate tends to have a larger amount of expansion and contraction at higher temperatures, in such a case, it is effective to shift the reference line L1-A upward in the vertical direction when the liquid crystal display device is used. is there.
