Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of light-emitting diode light-emitting device; Particularly a kind of light-emitting diode light-emitting device that uses flexible circuit board.
Background technology
In recent years, use the LCD of liquid crystal panel to be widely used, it can be as the display screen or the various data output of an image reproducer.
Generally speaking, LCD is used passive type (passive matrix type) liquid crystal panel or is had active (active matrix type) liquid crystal panel of non-linear element (nonlinear device).The liquid crystal panel of these kenels itself can be not luminous, must make a video imaging on liquid crystal panel by a light emitting source.Liquid crystal panel can be divided into penetration and reflective two kinds, and the penetration liquid crystal panel has high brightness and high contrast display characteristic, is widely used in data output display screen usually.Moreover the penetration liquid crystal panel can place its below in conjunction with a backlight, as the light emitting source of penetration liquid crystal panel, through adjusting the luminous of (modulating) backlight, makes video imaging on the penetration liquid crystal panel.
Fig. 1 is the schematic side view with conventional liquid crystal of a penetration liquid crystal panel and a backlight module, and wherein backlight module uses light-emitting diode as light emitting source.This traditional backlight liquid crystal display module is positioned over the below of penetration liquid crystal panel, and backlight module top emergent light passes liquid crystal panel, and image is shown on the liquid crystal panel.With reference to shown in Figure 1, the component sets of this kind LCD becomes: a liquid crystal panel 1 is between two transparency carrier 1A and 1B, and a polarization sheet 1C lays respectively at the picture display surface and the back side thereof of liquid crystal panel 1.One backlight module 3 is positioned at the below of liquid crystal panel 1, and it comprises the light guide plate 2 and a light-emitting diode light emitting module 3A of a rectangular body.This light-emitting diode light emitting module 3A is positioned at a light-incident end one side of light guide plate 2.One light scattering pattern 10 is formed at light guide plate 2 back sides via for example salient point mode of printing.The emission light of light-emitting diode light emitting module 3A is projeced into the light-incident end of light guide plate 2, and enter light guide plate inside through repeatedly reflecting light path, export from a light-emitting face at the relative light guide plate back side via 10 guidings of light scattering pattern again, and be projeced into liquid crystal panel 1 back side.Moreover a reflecting plate 4 is positioned at light guide plate 2 belows, in order to getting back to light guide plate 2 inside from the beam reflection of light guide plate 2 back side outgoing.One diffusion sheet 12 or a prismatic lens (not shown) are positioned between light guide plate 2 and the liquid crystal panel 1.
Fig. 2 is the schematic side view of light-emitting diode light emitting module 3A, and they several light-emitting diodes 31 that comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) 30 and be one-dimensional array are arranged in printed circuit board (PCB) 30 on a surface of the light-incident end of light guide plate 2.By the setting of light guide plate among Fig. 12, the line source kenel of light emitting module 3A can be converted to the area source kenel, for the backlight of doing liquid crystal panel 1.Yet because each light-emitting diode has certain light emitting region among the light emitting module 3A, its light intensity distributions of line source that causes light emitting module 3A to be constituted has a plurality of blanking bars district D to produce, as shown in Figure 3.That is to say that the design of light emitting module 3A can't provide the line source of luminous intensity unanimity.When using as the time, promptly cause each regional luminous intensity of light-emitting face of light guide plate 2 end faces can't reach identical, and influence the luminous uniformity of light guide plate as the light source of Fig. 1 backlight module 3.On the other hand, because each light-emitting diode 31 luminous intensity of arranging on the printed circuit board (PCB) 30 are not unanimity, often cause the line source light intensity distributions of light source module 3A inhomogeneous, even cause some area light flux deficiency of light guide plate 2 light-emitting faces.
In view of the above, demand providing a kind of light-emitting diode light-emitting device of improvement urgently, it can overcome the disappearance of traditional light-emitting diode light-emitting device.
