Shown in figure, the light that above-mentioned relatively first imaginary plane penetrates from LED portion 3 with the angle (ф) of regulation is by the surperficial 13d reflection of turning part 13.And this light (regulation light) that has reflected is injected light guide section 11 via surperficial 11c.At this moment, light reflects by surperficial 11c.And, inject the light of light guide section 11 and carry out total reflection at the non-scattering region (being the interface) of surperficial 11a and surperficial 11b, enter in the light guide section 11.And then in the light of above-mentioned incident, the light of scattering part that shines surperficial 11b is by this scattering part scattering.And in the light of this scattering, the light in not total reflections such as surperficial 11a does not penetrate from surperficial 11a.Thus, can be to the liquid crystal panel irradiates light.
In addition, the light that penetrates from LED portion 3, also have, and directly inject light guide section 11 from surperficial 11a not in surperficial 13d total reflection.
Fig. 4 be the above-mentioned ф angle of expression and inject surperficial 11c after the figure of relation at the angle that constitutes, light path (P1 of Fig. 3) and the above-mentioned liquid crystal side plane of the light light of surperficial 11c refraction (promptly by) (below be called first angle [alpha]).In addition, in figure, the value of above-mentioned θ is made as 45 °.At this, under the situation about being made of the propylene material of refractive index 1.5 in light guide section 11, when above-mentioned first angle roughly surpassed 48 °, then at the surperficial 11a11b (interface) of light guide section 11, light did not carry out total reflection.But, in said structure, as shown in Figure 4, even ф is maximal value (being roughly 38 ° at this), also can total reflection take place at the surperficial 11a11b of light guide section 11.
As mentioned above, above-mentioned α value changes according to above-mentioned ф value.Therefore, the light that penetrates from LED portion 3 is by the scattering part scattering that is in diverse location.In addition, far away more apart from surperficial 11c and surperficial 12c, the ratio in zone of scattering part that accounts for surperficial 11b is big more.Therefore, can be from the roughly uniform light of surperficial 11a irradiation.Particularly if, then can shine uniform light by calculating the pattern of the optimum scattering part of simulation in advance.
Because reason same as described above, thereby can shine uniform light from the surperficial 12a of light guide section 12.
In addition, if electricity sees through inside and surperficial 13a that the parts of the light identical with the inside of light guide section 11 constitute turning part 13, then also can carry out the light of scattering etc. by light guide section 11 inside from surperficial 13a irradiation.At this moment, can be from 2 pairs of more uniform light of liquid crystal panel side irradiation of light guide plate.
In said structure, constitute the surperficial 13d and the 13e of turning part 13 by reflective material.But, if be the part of surperficial 13d13e, and constitute the inside of turning part 13 by the parts that see through the light identical with light guide section 11 etc. by the material of printing opacity, then also can directly 13 surperficial 13a penetrates from the turning part with the light from LED portion 3.At this moment, can uniform light further be shone the liquid crystal panel side from light guide plate 2.
In addition, in said structure, because as the LED of light source use, so when the value that makes above-mentioned L1 is excessive, then be difficult to penetrate uniform light from surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a as pointolite.On the other hand, because light reaches leaded light in the light guide section 12 light guide section 11 in, and surperficial 11b and surperficial 13b have pattern as described above, so that the value of above-mentioned L2 can become to a certain extent is big.That is, owing to use LED portion 3, so for to penetrate uniform light from surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a, therefore, preferably the above-mentioned liquid crystal side plane with light guide plate 2 is made as elongated shape.At this moment, light guide plate 2 as columned fluorescent light work as the area source that is bordering on line source.
As above, light guide plate 2 have with from the regulation light of predetermined direction (from the direction of surperficial 13b) incident towards surperficial 13c along surface (face of regulation) 11a leaded light, and this light is injected to outside light guide section 11 from surperficial 11a, and have by carrying out primary event, to inject the turning part 13 of light guide section 11 from the exterior light of the opposing face side incident of surperficial 11a to above-mentioned predetermined directional steering.
According to this structure, can be by turning part 13 by carrying out primary event, will inject light guide section 11 from the exterior light of the opposing face side incident of surperficial 11a to above-mentioned predetermined directional steering.In addition, can will be to above-mentioned predetermined directional steering by light guide plate 11, the light of injecting light guide section 11 injects to the outside from surperficial 11a.
Therefore and since can be by primary event with photoconduction to light guide section 11, so compare with the structure that repeatedly reflects, can be with light guide plate 2 self slimming.
In addition, owing to make afore mentioned rules light along surperficial 11a leaded light,, the LED (light source) 3 that sends exterior light can be located near the above-mentioned opposing face of light guide plate 2 so compare with the structure of the back of the body irradiation of existing directly-below type at light guide section 11.In addition, because LED portion 3 needn't be set at the edge part of light guide plate 2,, can easily be combined into the face (being the liquid crystal side plane) that constitutes by above-mentioned surperficial 11a rectangular so compare with the back of the body irradiation structure of existing peripheral type.Therefore, can easily light-emitting area be strengthened.
Therefore, light guide plate 2 constitutes the slimming that is applicable to back light device, and the light guide plate of the maximization of the light-emitting area of back light device.
In addition, light guide plate 2 have with from the regulation light of predetermined direction (from the direction of reflecting surface 13e) incident towards surperficial 12c along surface (face of regulation) 12a guiding, and 2 penetrate outside light guide section 2 from the surface, and this light guide plate has by carrying out primary event, will be from the exterior light of the opposing face side incident of the surperficial 12a turning part 13 to the direction of light guide section 12 and above-mentioned predetermined directional steering.At this moment, also obtain effect same as described above.
Light guide plate 2 also can be following structure, have light guide section (first light guide section) 11 and light guide section (second light guide section) 12, light guide section 11 and light guide section 12 clip turning part 13 configurations, turning part 13 turns to said external light to first direction and second direction, wherein, first direction is above-mentioned predetermined direction, and becomes the direction of light guide section 11, second direction is above-mentioned predetermined direction, and becomes the direction of light guide section 12.
According to this structure, can carry out primary event respectively by turning part 13, will turn to above-mentioned first direction and second direction from the exterior light of the opposing face side incident of surperficial 11a12a.
Therefore, can penetrate light from light guide section 11 and the light guide section 12 that is positioned at 13 both sides, turning part.
In addition, light guide plate 2 also can be following structure, turning part 13 has surface (first reflecting surface) 13d and the surperficial 13e (second reflecting surface) with the reflection of said external light, above-mentioned surperficial 13d turns to said external light to above-mentioned first direction, and surperficial 13e turns to said external light to above-mentioned second direction.
According to this structure, can said external light be turned to above-mentioned first direction by surperficial 13d.In addition, can said external light be turned to above-mentioned second direction by surperficial 13e.Therefore, can constitute turning part 13 with simple structure.
In addition, light guide plate 2 also can be following structure, above-mentioned surperficial 13d and surperficial 13e are identical shaped, and adjacent, simultaneously, form trequetrous two sides, when will owing to the above-mentioned adjacent line that forms as intersection, and with the vertical face of above-mentioned surperficial 11a12a (liquid crystal side plane), and the face that comprises above-mentioned intersection is when being made as first imaginary plane (certain surface), 13d relative first imaginary plane with surperficial 13e in surface is identical angle (above-mentioned θ), tilts to different mutually directions.
According to this structure,, can be made as light quantity identical by the surperficial 13d and the light of surperficial 13e reflection by the direction irradiation exterior light of a certain position on first imaginary plane to above-mentioned liquid crystal side plane.Therefore, can be to the light of light guide section 11 and the identical light quantity of light guide section 12 incidents as afore mentioned rules light.
In addition, light guide plate 2 is for having the structure that makes the symmetrical shape of light guide section 11 and light guide section 12.
According to this structure, light guide section 11 and light guide section 12 have symmetrical shape.Therefore, compare for the situation of asymmetrical shape with light guide section 12 with light guide section 11, can be with the designs simplification of light guide plate 2.
For increasing from the light quantity that surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a penetrate, preferably with surperficial 11d, surperficial 11e, surperficial 11f, surperficial 12d, surperficial 12e, and surperficial 12f be made as scattering or catoptrical structure.For example, also can constitute above-mentioned each face by the coating (film) of white.
If with surperficial 11b and surperficial 12b subtend and the structure of mounting reflector plate, then can further increase the light quantity that penetrates from surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a.
But, in above-mentioned light guide plate 2, constitute the surperficial 11c that makes light guide section 11 and the vertical structure in the above-mentioned relatively liquid crystal side of surperficial 12c plane of light guide section 12.But be not limited thereto, for example shown in Figure 5, also can make surperficial 11c towards will tilting to above-mentioned relatively first imaginary plane of direction of the direction refraction on above-mentioned liquid crystal side plane by the light that surperficial 13d turn to (reflection), and make surperficial 12c towards the light that will turn to (reflection) by surperficial 13e to above-mentioned relatively first imaginary plane inclination of the direction of above-mentioned liquid crystal side in-plane refraction.Specifically, the angle that also surperficial 11c and surperficial 13d can be constituted becomes the value bigger than θ with surperficial 12c with the dihedral that surperficial 13e constitutes.Below, the angle of inclination of above-mentioned relatively first imaginary plane is made as δ.
At this, Fig. 6 represents the value of above-mentioned θ is made as 45 °, above-mentioned α the when value of above-mentioned δ is changed and the relation of ф.
Shown in figure, when the value that makes above-mentioned δ was big, then the value of above-mentioned α also increased.That is, when the value that makes δ is big, then the incident angle to above-mentioned surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a incident can be reduced.In addition, shown in figure, even be made as 45 ° in the value with above-mentioned δ, above-mentioned ф obtains peaked situation, also the value of α must be made as more than 48 °.That is can total reflection take place on the surface of light guide section 11 and light guide section 12.
Therefore, increase the value of above-mentioned δ, can reduce incident angle to surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a incident.Therefore, can be in surperficial 11b and surperficial 12b, by the light scattering of the scattering part of more close turning part 13 with guiding.Therefore, can penetrate more uniform light from surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a.
In addition, increase the value of above-mentioned δ, can will reach the increased frequency of the total reflection in the light guide section 12 in the light guide section 11.Therefore, the light of incident scattering part and scattering increases.Therefore, can penetrate light from surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a effectively.
Like this, light guide plate 2 is with the light guide plate of above-mentioned regulation light from surface (first face) the 11c incident of light guide section 11, be following structure, make surperficial 11c towards with the above-mentioned exterior light that turns to the direction of the direction of the surperficial 11a refraction face tilt vertical relatively with surperficial 11a.In addition, light guide plate 2 is with the light guide plate of afore mentioned rules light from surface (first face) the 12c incident of light guide section 12, be following structure also, make surperficial 12c towards with the above-mentioned exterior light that turns to the direction of the direction of the surperficial 12a refraction face tilt vertical relatively with surperficial 12a.
In addition, in above-mentioned light guide plate 2, light guide section 11 and light guide section 12 form rectangular shape, but are not limited thereto.For example shown in Figure 7, also can dip plane 11g and dip plane 12g be set at light guide section 11 and light guide section 12, they are respectively with surperficial 11b and 11d and surperficial 12b and 12d is adjacent, be made of the scattering material of catoptrical reflecting material and scattered light, and the plane of above-mentioned relatively liquid crystal side is oblique towards surperficial 11c side and surperficial 12c inclination respectively.
At this moment, relevant light guide section 11 sides, light guide plate 2 is with the light guide plate of afore mentioned rules light from surface (first face) the 11c incident of above-mentioned light guide section 11, it is following structure, when with the end of the light guide section 11 of the opposing face of surperficial 11c during as terminal part, then terminal part has dip plane 11g, and this dip plane is the face that is coated with the scattering material of catoptrical reflecting material and scattered light, and apparent surface 11a is oblique to surperficial 11c inclination.
According to this structure, on the 11g of dip plane, the light that is directed to terminal part does not penetrate to the outside from terminal part, and at least to light guide section 11 lateral reflections or scattering.Therefore, can effectively utilize exterior light.Therefore, compare, the light quantity that penetrates from surperficial 11a can be increased with the situation that does not have dip plane 11g.In addition, the situation of light guide section 12 sides is also identical with above-mentioned light guide section 11.
In addition, dip plane 11g and dip plane 12g can be set also, and relative as mentioned above above-mentioned first imaginary plane of surperficial 11c and surperficial 12c is tilted.
As shown in Figure 8, preferably surperficial 13b and the surperficial 13c in turning part, light guide section 2 upper edge 13 is provided with reflecting plate 19 in LED portion 3 directions.At this moment, can this reflecting plate 19 even be set with for example by the light of the surperficial 13b of turning part 13 and surperficial 13c reflection, the light of the surperficial 12c of then inevitable surperficial 11c that does not inject light guide section 11 and light guide section 12 is sent to light guide section 11 and light guide section 12.
Therefore, more light from 3 ones in LED portion is sent to light guide section 11 and light guide section 12.Therefore, can shine more light by liquid crystal panel.
In addition, under the situation of the structure that relative as mentioned above first imaginary plane of surperficial 11c and surperficial 12c tilts, also can reflecting plate 19 be extended along the direction of surperficial 11e and surperficial 12e (or surperficial 11f and surperficial 12f) for preventing, for example the light by surperficial 13d reflection does not pass through in the light guide section 11, and the structure of directed outwards.At this moment, also same as described above, can shine more light by liquid crystal panel.
But, in above-mentioned light guide plate 2, illustrated that light guide section 11 is identical shape with light guide section 12, but be not limited thereto.Even the surperficial 11a of light guide section 11 is different with the area of the surperficial 12a of light guide section 12, also can make the light quantity of the per unit area that penetrates from surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a identical by the pattern that changes surperficial 11b and surperficial 12b.Therefore, in this case, also uniform illumination can be mapped to the liquid crystal panel side.
In addition, even limiting the situation of the position of LED portion 3, also can penetrate light from surperficial 11a12a by the size that changes light guide section 11 and light guide section 12.
In the above-described embodiments, owing to used pointolite, thus need reduce the value of above-mentioned L1, but when using line source and elongated area source to replace above-mentioned LED portion 3, the value of above-mentioned L1 is become greatly.Therefore, under the situation of this structure, can increase the area of the light-emitting area (surperficial 11a and surperficial 12a) of light guide plate.Below, for the convenience that illustrates, make its light guide plate bigger be called light guide plate 2 ' value that increases above-mentioned L1 than the value of light guide plate 2.
At this moment, as shown in Figure 9, can use light guide plate 2 as above-mentioned elongated area source.In this structure, at first, will be made as the uniform elongated planar light of light quantity that makes per unit area by light guide plate 2 from the light of LED portion 3.And, by light guide plate 2 ' this planar light is further widened.Thus, can use pointolite that the irradiates light of square (for example square) of different shape is shone on the display panels.
Below, for the convenience that illustrates, as mentioned above, the structure of light guide plate (first light guide plate) 2 and light guide plate (second light guide plate) 2 ' combination is called light guide plate (guiding device) 20.In addition, the part with the light guide plate 2 ' of the corresponding light guide section 11 of light guide plate 2 and light guide section 12 is made as light guide section 11 ' and light guide section 12 '.
In addition, light guide plate 22 ' also can be by for example processing (cutting) plate (acrylic panel etc.), and then carry out surface treatment etc. and make integratedly.
Secondly, as shown in figure 10, to rectangular (driving circuit and the driving method of each LED during n * m) describe in that above-mentioned light guide plate 20 is configured to.In the following description, light guide plate 20 note of matrix is made light guide plate Pij (1≤i≤n, 1≤j≤m).
As shown in figure 11, driving circuit 30 corresponding each light guide plate Pij have LED portion 3.That is, each light guide plate Pij has red LED, green LED respectively, reaches blue led relatively.In addition, each light emitting diode is configured in position shown in Figure 2.With the order of RGB each light emitting diode of corresponding Pij is made as rij, gij, bij below.
In addition, driving circuit 30 has constant pressure source 31, constant pressure source 32, on-off element QriQgbi, first control device 33 and not shown second control device.First control device 33 has on-off element SrjSgjSbj and storage part 33a and the 33b of current supply portion.Below, describe as the situation of on-off element QriQgbi and on-off element SrjSgjSbj using transistor.

In addition, on light guide plate 2, form a plane (below be called the liquid crystal side plane) by the surperficial 112a of the surperficial 113c of the surperficial 111a of light guide section 111, first parts 113, light guide section 112.In addition, above-mentioned liquid crystal side plane has rectangular shape.Below, in above-mentioned liquid crystal side plane, the length on limit that will be parallel with above-mentioned intersection is made as L1, and the length on limit that will be vertical with above-mentioned intersection is made as L2.
The surperficial 111b of light guide section 111 and the surperficial 112b of light guide section 112 have the pattern of the regulation that is used to make light scattering.This pattern exemplifies the pattern shown in Figure 77.In addition, this pattern is not limited to above-mentioned pattern, can be known various pattern.As long as above-mentioned pattern is big more apart from the figure of surperficial 111c and surperficial 112c formation pattern far away more.Below above-mentioned figure is called light scattering portion.In addition, in surperficial 111b, the zone of removing light scattering portion is called non-scattering region.
Secondly, explanation makes the light path of this light of the luminous situation of LED portion 103 with reference to Figure 29.In addition, because light guide plate 102 be the shape of above-mentioned relatively the 3rd imaginary plane symmetry, so following light path to the light that is sent to light guide section 111 sides describes.Figure 29 is AA ' the alignment pseudosection of Figure 25.
At first, to the light that penetrates from LED portion 103, promptly the light path by the light of the reflector space M1 reflection of the surperficial 114a of second parts 114 describes.
Shown in figure, the light that above-mentioned relatively the 3rd imaginary plane penetrates from LED portion 3 with the angle of stipulating (φ), and the light (regulation light) that is reflected by reflector space M1 incides light guide section 111 via surperficial 111c.At this moment, light is turned to by surperficial 111c.And, inject the light of light guide section 111 and carry out total reflection at the non-scattering region (being the interface) of surperficial 111a and surperficial 111b, enter in the light guide section 111.And then in the light of above-mentioned incident, the light of scattering part that shines surperficial 111b is by this scattering part scattering.And in the light of this scattering, the light of total reflection does not penetrate from surperficial 111a on surperficial 111a etc.Thus, can be to the liquid crystal panel irradiates light.
In addition, the light that penetrates from LED portion 103, can't help surperficial 114a reflection, and directly inject light guide section 111 from surperficial 111c.
Figure 30 be the above-mentioned φ angle of expression and inject surperficial 111c after the light path (P1 of Figure 27) of the light light of surperficial 111c refraction (promptly by) constitute the figure of relation at the angle (below be called the 4th angle [alpha]) on above-mentioned liquid crystal side plane.In addition, in figure, the value of above-mentioned θ 1 is made as 45 °.At this, under the situation about being made of the propylene material of refractive index 1.5 in light guide section 111, when above-mentioned the 4th angle surpassed roughly 48 °, then at the surperficial 111a111b (interface) of light guide section 111, light did not carry out total reflection.But, even in said structure as shown in figure 28 φ be maximal value (being roughly 38 °) at this, can total reflection take place at the surperficial 111a111b of light guide section 111 also.
As mentioned above, above-mentioned α value changes according to above-mentioned φ value.Therefore, the light that penetrates from LED portion 103 is by the scattering part scattering that is in diverse location.In addition, far away more apart from surperficial 111c and surperficial 112c, the ratio in zone of scattering part that accounts for surperficial 111b is big more.Therefore, can be from the roughly uniform light of surperficial 111a irradiation.Particularly if, then can shine uniform light by calculating the pattern of the optimum scattering part of simulation in advance.
Because reason same as described above, thereby also can shine uniform light from the surperficial 112a of light guide section 112.
In said structure, because the LED that uses pointolite is as light source, so, then be difficult to penetrate uniform light from surperficial 111a and surperficial 112a when the value of above-mentioned L1 being set when too much.On the other hand, because light reaches leaded light in the light guide section 112 light guide section 111 in, and surperficial 111b and surperficial 112b have pattern as described above, so the value of above-mentioned L2 can be increased to a certain degree.That is, owing to use LED portion 3, so penetrate uniform light from surperficial 111a and surperficial 112a, therefore, preferably the above-mentioned liquid crystal side plane with light guide plate 102 is made as elongated shape.
Secondly, with reference to the light of Figure 31 to penetrating from LED portion 103, promptly the light path of the light of the regional transmission M2 of surperficial 114a by second parts 114 and 114b describes.
Promptly, in exterior light, have to remove and reflect by surperficial 114a by light path (101) to surperficial 114a or surperficial 114b irradiation, incide beyond the light of light guide section 111 by light path (102), not by the light (inciding the light of second parts 114 via regional transmission M2) of surperficial 114a or surperficial 114b reflection.This light is described.In addition, because light guide plate 102 be the shape of above-mentioned relatively the 3rd imaginary plane symmetry, so following light path to the light of sending into light guide section 112 sides describes.
For example pass through light path (103) (104) from the light of regional transmission M2 incident.
And M2 reflects light by this regional transmission.At this, refractive index for example is made as 1.5.
In this refract light, some light incides the brightened dot position of first parts 113 by with the light path shown in the figure (105) via the surperficial 113d of first parts 113.And the light that incides these first parts 113 is by scatterer 113m scattering.And the light of this scattering injects to the liquid crystal panel side by a plurality of light paths from surperficial 113c.The light that will do not reflected by surperficial 114b and surperficial 114h is called first light like this, below.
In above-mentioned refract light, other light carries out total reflection by with the light path shown in the figure (106) at surperficial 114h.In addition, by the 114h total reflection of this surface light by with the light path (108) of figure, incide the brightened dot position of first parts 113 via the surperficial 113d of first parts 113.And the light that incides these first parts 113 is by scatterer 113m scattering, then, this scattering light by a plurality of light paths, incide the liquid crystal panel side from surperficial 113c.Like this, will reflect by surperficial 114h below, and the light that is not reflected by surperficial 114b is called second light.

In the above description, for the convenience that illustrates, the working direction of dividing three situations that light has been described, but actual glazing incides on the 4th parts 252 with various incident angles via whole of surperficial 252k.Therefore, at whole of surperficial 252e, whole of surperficial 252h, whole of surperficial 252j total reflection takes place.
In addition, even also arrive surperficial 252e, also not in the 252e total reflection of this surface, and the light that penetrates from the 4th parts 252.This also with the light that arrives surperficial 252h, and to arrive the light of surperficial 252j identical.
Secondly, with reference to Figure 65 explanation via the surperficial 211c of light guide section 211 light path from the light (regulation light) of the surperficial 252n incident light guide section 211 of the 4th parts 52.Figure 65 is that the CC ' of Figure 53 is to pseudosection.
Shown in figure, incide of non-scattering region (the be interface) total reflection of the light of light guide section 211 at surperficial 211a and surperficial 211b, enter in the light guide section 211.And then, in the light of above-mentioned incident, to the light of the scattering part of surperficial 211b irradiation by this scattering part scattering.And in the light of this scattering, the light in total reflections such as surperficial 211a does not penetrate from surperficial 211a.Thus, can be to the liquid crystal panel irradiates light.
In addition, in some exterior light that surperficial 217b by turning part 217 has reflected, do not have yet, and incide the light of light guide section 213 by in the light guide section 215.Like this, the light that incides light guide section 213 is directly incident on light guide section 211.Then, this light is penetrated to the liquid crystal panel side by light guide section 211.
But, for to a large amount of light quantity of light guide section 215 incidents, preferably with surperficial 252e, surperficial 252h, and surperficial 252j be made as scattering or catoptrical structure.For example, also can constitute above-mentioned each face by the coating (film) of white.
In addition, for sending into a large amount of light quantities, preferably constitute the film 252a252b252c of light guide section 215 by efficient catoptrical material (for example film of whitewash) to the liquid crystal panel side.
At this, when being called the 6th direction towards the direction of surperficial 211c from surperficial 252n, will be when the direction of 252k be called the 7th direction from 217b, then light guide plate 202 have with from the regulation light of the 6th direction incident along surface (face of regulation) 211a guiding, and from the outside light guide section 211 of surperficial 211a ejaculation, it is following structure, promptly has: turning part 217, it is by carrying out primary event, will be from the exterior light of the opposing face side incident of the surperficial 211a directional steering to light guide plate 202; Light guide section (other light guide section) 215, it will turn to the exterior light total reflection of the 7th direction, guide in inside, and (252e252h252j) it is reflected to the 6th direction by a plurality of surfaces (reflecting surface), incide light guide section 211,217 reflectings surface far away apart from the turning part, the area of reflecting surface is set greatly more.
According to this structure, can be by turning part 217 by carrying out primary event, will be from the exterior light of the opposing face side incident of surperficial 211a to the 7th directional steering.In addition, can utilize light guide section 215 will to reflect to the 6th direction to the exterior light of the 7th directional steering, inject light guide section 211 by a plurality of reflectings surface.In addition, the light that can will incide light guide section to the 6th direction reflection by light guide section 211 injects to the outside from the face of regulation.
Therefore, but since primary event and with photoconduction to light guide section 215, so compare with the structure that repeatedly reflects, can be with light guide section self slimming.
In addition, owing to can make 211 guiding of afore mentioned rules light,, the light source that sends exterior light can be located near the above-mentioned opposing face of light guide plate so compare with the back of the body irradiation structure of existing directly-below type along the surface at light guide section 211.In addition, owing to needn't send the light source of exterior light,, can be easily be combined into the face of afore mentioned rules rectangular so compare with the back of the body irradiation structure of existing peripheral type in the edge part setting of light guide plate.Therefore, can easily increase light-emitting area.
Therefore, light guide plate 202 constitutes the slimming that is suitable for back light device, and the light guide plate of the maximization of the light-emitting area of back light device.
In addition, utilize light guide section 215 by a plurality of reflectings surface with the direction of exterior light to light guide section 211, and above-mentioned the 6th direction reflection.Therefore, even under the situation of using pointolite as the light source that sends exterior light, also the light of wire can be incided light guide section 211 as afore mentioned rules light.In addition, can penetrate as the face of planar light by the light of light guide section 211 this wire from afore mentioned rules.
Therefore, pointolite can be used as the light source that sends exterior light.
But, owing to cause above-mentioned reflection of light at each reflecting surface (surperficial 252e252h252j) of light guide section 215, thus in the light quantity of the light (exterior light) of light guide section 215 inner total reflections and leaded light along with reducing away from turning part 217.Therefore, under the identical situation of the area of each reflecting surface, 271 reflectings surface far away apart from the turning part, the light quantity of the light of reflection (reflection light quantity) is few more.
But, in light guide plate 202 of the present invention, 217 reflectings surface far away apart from the turning part, the area of reflecting surface is set greatly more.Therefore, the situation identical with the area of each reflecting surface compared, and can reduce the reduction of above-mentioned volume reflection.
Therefore, the situation identical with the area of each reflecting surface compared, and the light (regulation light) of uniform light quantity can be incided above-mentioned light guide section.Therefore, in light guide plate 202, the situation identical with the area of each reflecting surface compared, also can be from the light that penetrates uniform light quantity towards the outside of afore mentioned rules.
On the other hand, when being called the 6th direction towards the direction of surperficial 212c from surperficial 253n, will be when the direction of surperficial 253k be called the 7th direction from surperficial 217b, then light guide plate 202 have with from the regulation light of the 6th direction incident along surface (face of regulation) 212a guiding, and inject to outside light guide section 212 from surperficial 212a, it also is following structure, have, turning part 217, it is by carrying out primary event, will be from the exterior light of the opposing face side incident of surperficial 212a to the 7th directional steering; Light guide section (other light guide section) 215, it will turn to the exterior light total reflection of the 7th direction, in guided inside, and (253e253h253j) it be reflected to the 6th direction by a plurality of surfaces (reflecting surface), incident light guide section 212,217 reflectings surface far away apart from the turning part.The area of reflecting surface is set greatly more.At this moment, also obtain effect same as described above.

As above, light guide plate 202 is following structure, it has light guide section (the 9th light guide section) 211 and light guide section (the tenth light guide section) 212, light guide section 211 and light guide section 212 clip turning part 217, light guide section 215, reach light guide section 216 configurations, the light that 216 two light guide sections of light guide section 215 and light guide section also will guide in the inside of each light guide section is to above-mentioned the 6th direction, and, promptly turn to as the direction of the direction of light guide section 212 (below be called the tenth light guide section direction) as direction of the direction of light guide section 211 (below be called the 9th light guide section direction) and above-mentioned the 6th direction.
According to this structure, can will be at light of this light guide section 215 inner guiding to the 9th light guide section direction and the tenth light guide section directional steering by light guide section 215.Equally, can will be at the light of the inside of this light guide section 216 guiding to above-mentioned the 9th light guide section direction and above-mentioned the tenth light guide section directional steering by light guide section 216.
Therefore, can via two light guide sections (light guide section 215 and light guide section 216) from be positioned at turning part 217, light guide section 215, and the surface (211a212a) of two light guide sections (light guide section 211 and light guide section 212) of light guide section 216 both sides penetrate light.
As above, light guide plate 202 is following structure, turning part 217 has surface (the turning part first reflecting surface) 217b and surface (the turning part second reflecting surface) 217c of reflection said external light, the surface 217b with said external light to above-mentioned the 7th light guide section directional steering, and surperficial 217c with said external light to the 8th light guide section directional steering.
According to this structure, can be by surperficial 217b with exterior light to the 7th light guide section directional steering.In addition, can be by surperficial 217c with exterior light to the light guide section directional steering from all directions.Therefore, can constitute turning part 217 with simple structure.
As above, light guide plate 202 is following structure, and surperficial 217b and surperficial 217c are identical shaped, and adjacent, and forms trequetrous two sides, and surperficial 217b is relative with surperficial 217c, and the 9th imaginary plane (determining face) is an equal angular, tilts to different directions mutually.

In addition, if with film 211b and film 212b subtend and the structure of mounting reflector plate, then can further increase the light quantity that penetrates from surperficial 211a and surperficial 212a.
But in above-mentioned light guide section 202, surperficial 252k253k is the vertical structure in above-mentioned relatively liquid crystal side plane.But be not limited thereto, for example shown in Figure 66, also can make above-mentioned relatively the 9th imaginary plane of surperficial 252k253k to turning to the light of (reflection) to tilt by surperficial 217b to the direction of above-mentioned liquid crystal side in-plane refraction.Specifically, the dihedral that also surperficial 252k253k and surperficial 217b can be constituted become the value than θ.
At this, Figure 67 represents the value of described θ is made as 45 °, and above-mentioned φ the when value of above-mentioned δ is changed and the relation of above-mentioned α.
Shown in figure, when increasing the value of above-mentioned δ, the value of above-mentioned α also increases.That is, when increasing the value of δ, the incident angle to above-mentioned surperficial 251a incident is reduced.In addition, shown in figure, even be 45 ° in the value with above-mentioned δ, above-mentioned φ obtains under the peaked situation, and the value that also must make α is more than 48 °.That is can total reflection take place on the surface of light guide section 215.
In addition, increase the value of above-mentioned δ, can reduce number of times to light guide section 215 inner total reflections.Therefore, near among the surperficial 252e253e of turning part 217, can be reflected into the exterior light that is mapped to light guide section 215 reliably.Therefore, can send into the light of uniform light quantity to the surperficial 211c of light guide section 211.
As above, light guide plate 202 is following structure, and with the surperficial 252k253k incident of above-mentioned exterior light from light guide section 215, surperficial 252k253k is the face vertical with surperficial 251a relatively, the direction inclination that reflects to surperficial 251a direction along the exterior light that will above-mentionedly turn to.
In addition, in above-mentioned light guide plate 202, light guide section 211 and light guide section 212 are rectangular shape, but are not limited thereto.For example shown in Figure 68, also dip plane 211h and dip plane 212h can be set on light guide section 211 and light guide section 212, this dip plane is adjacent with surperficial 211b and 211e and surperficial 212b and 212e respectively, the face that constitutes by the scattering material of catoptrical reflecting material or scattered light, and above-mentioned relatively liquid crystal side plane is oblique to surperficial 211c211d side and surperficial 212c212d inclination respectively.
Promptly, dip plane 211h is set, make dip plane 211h and intersection surperficial 211b than this dip plane 211h with intersection surperficial 211e near surperficial 211c211d, simultaneously, dip plane 212h is set, make dip plane 212h and intersection surperficial 212b than this dip plane 212h with intersection surperficial 212e near surperficial 211c211d.
According to this structure, on the 211h of dip plane, can not penetrate light to the outside from this dip plane 211h, and at least to light guide section 211 lateral reflections or scattered light.Therefore, can effectively utilize exterior light.Therefore, compare, can increase the light quantity that penetrates from surperficial 211a with the situation that does not have dip plane 211h.In addition, light guide section 212 sides are also identical with above-mentioned light guide section 211 sides.
In addition, as mentioned above, dip plane 211h and dip plane 212h can be set also, and relative above-mentioned the 9th imaginary plane with surperficial 253k of surperficial 252k is tilted.
