Secondly, though do not illustrate among Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, on surface light source apparatus, dispose display panel.This display panel is thought of as the display panels of the birefringence of using liquid crystal or has printed the display panel etc. of character or pattern on transparent panel.Present embodiment uses the situation of the display device of display panels to describe for display panel hereinafter.
Here, display panels constitutes (not shown) by following: the counter substrate that is formed with dyed layer, light shield layer, opposite electrode etc. on substrate; At the tft array substrate that is formed with the thin film transistor (TFT) that becomes on-off element (below be also referred to as TFT), pixel electrode etc. on the substrate; Be used to keep the liner at the interval of counter substrate and tft array substrate; The encapsulant of counter substrate and tft array substrate is used to fit; The liquid crystal of clamping between counter substrate and tft array substrate; Inject the inlet seal member of liquid crystal; Make the oriented film of liquid crystal aligning; And Polarizer.In addition, in the present invention, owing to use existing display panels, thereby omit detailed explanation.In addition, on display device, possesses the circuit substrate (not shown) that is used to drive display panels.
Secondly, be provided with light quantity adjustment unit 7 in the bottom of recess 6.Fig. 4 illustrates near the sectional view the recess 6 that amplifies light guide plate 5.Light quantity adjustment unit 7 as shown in Figure 4 is made of reflector plate 20 and diffusion sheet 21.Reflector plate 20 can use the material that in PP (polypropylene) or PET (polyethylene terephthalate), is mixed with the material of barium sulphate or titanium dioxide or in resin, is formed with micro air bubble, evaporation on the sheet metal have silver material, on sheet metal, be coated with the material of the coating that comprises titanium dioxide.In addition, present embodiment is used the material that is formed with micro air bubble in the PET resin.
On the other hand, diffuser plate 21 can use PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (acrylic acid) or PC resin plate or the such materials with light transmitting property of glass substrate such as (polycarbonate).In addition, in above-mentioned material, sneak into reflecting material or make surperficial asperitiesization, so that diffuser plate 21 has the function that makes the incident light scattering.
Reflector plate 20 uses the material that is formed with micro air bubble in the PET resin as mentioned above.Use the reflector plate 20 of this PET resin have respectively as shown in Figure 5 reflection characteristic, as shown in Figure 6 see through characteristic.In addition, use the thick then transmitance of reflector plate 20 thickness of PET resin to reduce, and reflectivity increase.On the contrary, use the then transmitance increase of reflector plate 20 thin thickness of PET resin, and reflectivity reduces.
The reflector plate 20 that present embodiment is used uses has the following reflector plate 20 that sees through characteristic: as shown in Figure 6, inciding the ratio that the full light (all incident lights) on the reflector plate 20 sees through is that total light transmittance is more than 2%.When using the reflector plate 20 of total light transmittance discontented 2%, then occur near led light source 4 or directly over the light that penetrates of outgoing plane 11 reduce, and produce the situation of brightness irregularities at outgoing plane 11.Therefore, by using total light transmittance is reflector plate 20 more than 2%, can adjust incide near the led light source 4 or directly over the light quantity of direct sunshine of outgoing plane 11, inhibition near the led light source 4 or directly over the minimizing of the light that penetrates of outgoing plane 11, prevent that outgoing plane 11 overall brightnesses are inhomogeneous.In addition, total light transmittance is 2% or more by using, the reflector plate 20 of preferred 4-6%, can suppress near the brightness irregularities of the outgoing plane 11 of led light source 4.And, by changing the total light transmittance of this reflector plate 20, can adjust the light quantity of the direct sunshine that incides outgoing plane 11, eliminate brightness irregularities.
And, by reflector plate 20 have will see through light as diffusion light at the diffusion function that outgoing plane 11 penetrates, can further suppress near the brightness irregularities of the outgoing plane 11 the led light source 4.For example, by using reflector plate 20, this reflector plate 20 uses the material that is formed with micro air bubble in the PET resin, thereby becomes roughly diffusion light fully at the light of reflector plate 20 places reflection, and the light that sees through also becomes roughly diffusion light fully.Because see through only roughly diffusion light fully, not only near the part led light source 4 has diffusion effect, and the whole face of reflector plate 20 shows same effect, therefore can suppress near the brightness irregularities of the outgoing plane 11 of led light source 4.And, even, also be difficult for taking place brightness irregularities, therefore can realize slim surface light source apparatus because led light source 4 shortens to the distance between the outgoing plane 11.
And then, on reflector plate 20, printed the dot pattern of light absorbing black in led light source 4 one sides, printed coloured dot pattern at led light source 4 opposition sides.In addition, though the dot pattern printing is to print Micropicture with black or coloured China ink on reflector plate 20, also can carry out with screen printing mode.And the shape of the dot pattern of printing, size, arrangement, deep or light, density, color etc. are preferably carried out optimization in view of the display level of the outgoing plane of planar display device.Fig. 7 illustrates the printing example of reflector plate 20.For reflector plate shown in Figure 7 20, be printed with the black color dots figure that homogeneous is arranged in led light source 4 one sides, and be printed with coloured dot pattern of concentrating arrangement at central part at led light source 4 opposition sides.Identical with reflector plate 20, also can on diffusion sheet 21, implement black or coloured printing.
As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, reflector plate 20 absorbs low wavelength light.Thus, the light by reflector plate 20 becomes yellowy light, for the outgoing plane 11 of light guide plate 5, the color difference between the part of light quantity adjustment unit 7 and the part in addition is set.Thus, in the present embodiment, implement coloured printing at led light source 4 opposition sides of reflector plate 20 especially.Thus, in the present embodiment, the irregular colour that can alleviate the outgoing plane 11 (peristome 1 of housing 2) of light guide plate 5 is spared.
And, though diffusion sheet 21 as shown in Figure 4 constitutes by 1, also can constitute by a plurality of.By using a plurality of diffusion sheets 21, further diffusion light, and can improve the display level of the outgoing plane 11 (peristome 1 of housing 2) of light guide plate 5.In addition, under the situation of the display level of the outgoing plane 11 (peristome 1 of housing 2) that only can fully guarantee light guide plate 5, also diffusion sheet 21 can be set by reflector plate 20.
And, though reflector plate 20 as shown in Figure 4 constitutes by 1, also can constitute by a plurality of.In this case, also can combination thickness or diverse reflector plate 20.And, using under the situation of a plurality of reflector plates 20, whether on each reflector plate 20, all implement the printing points figure, in view of the display level of the outgoing plane 11 (peristome 1 of housing 2) of light guide plate 5 carries out optimization.
Then, will the light that send from led light source 4 be described from outgoing plane 11 ejaculations of light guide plate 5 and until the path of inciding display panels.At first, the light that sends from led light source 4 directly or by 7 reflections of light quantity adjustment unit incides light guide plate 5 as shown in Figure 4.The light (α 1, α 2) of should be directly or inciding light guide plate 5 by 7 reflections of light quantity adjustment unit on one side on the border of light guide plate 5 and air layer repeatedly total reflection on one side at the internal communication of light guide plate 5.So, change the direction of propagation of light by some printing 22 (Fig. 4) scattered reflections of implementing at the outgoing plane opposing face 9 of light guide plate 5 at the light of light guide plate 5 internal communications.The variation of the direction of propagation by this light makes not satisfy the light of the critical angle on the border of light guide plate 5 and the air layer outgoing plane 11 from light guide plate 5 is penetrated.
In addition, though the light that does not satisfy the critical angle on the border of light guide plate 5 and air layer also penetrates beyond the outgoing plane 11 of light guide plate 5, this light is by reflector plate 10 (Fig. 2) reflection that is provided with at housing 2, and incides light guide plate 5 once more.And finally this light also penetrates from the outgoing plane 11 of light guide plate 5.
In the present embodiment, though being shaped as of light guide plate 5 is tabular, the invention is not restricted to this, the shape of light guide plate 5 also can be for along with the wedge-type shape away from led light source 4 thickness of slab attenuation.By making light guide plate 5 be this shape, can be effectively with the photoconduction propagated to outgoing plane 11.Thus, therefore the light quantity minimizing owing to reflector plate 10 reflections that are provided with by the side 8 in light guide plate 5 can reduce the reflection loss of reflector plate 10 generations of side 8, increases the ejaculation amount of outgoing plane 11.
And, from the light (β) of led light source 4 by reflector plate 20 by diffusion sheet 21 diffusions and incide light guide plate 5 from the bottom of recess 6.Finally penetrate owing to incide the light of light guide plate 5, so the utilization factor of light improves from the outgoing plane 11 of light guide plate 5.
Owing to compare with the light (α 1) that is directly incident on light guide plate 5 from led light source 4, incide the light (α 2) of light guide plate 5 by reflector plate 20 reflections, its incident angle towards light guide plate 5 mostly is the angle near the obtuse angle, therefore penetrates near the outgoing plane the led light source 4 11 easily.Thus, implement the dot pattern printing of black at the face of led light source 4 one sides of reflector plate 20, reduce reflected light by the dot pattern absorbing light that makes this black, can reduce the light that penetrates near the outgoing plane the led light source 4 11, near the brightness irregularities of the outgoing plane 11 the inhibition led light source 4.
And the surface light source apparatus of present embodiment changes for the brightness of proofreading and correct the led light source 4 in the outgoing plane 11, and implements the dot pattern printing of black at the face of led light source 4 one sides of reflector plate 20.Therefore, the surface light source apparatus of present embodiment can suppress the brightness irregularities of outgoing plane 11.
Here, as shown in Figure 6, be absorbed the light of short wavelength side by the light of reflector plate 20.Thus, in the surface light source apparatus that uses reflector plate 20, the light of long wavelength side also is that red composition becomes many and the generation irregular colour is spared.
Yet, in the surface light source apparatus of present embodiment, on the face of led light source 4 opposition sides of reflector plate 20, be printed with elimination by the such complementary color of the tonal variation of the light that causes by reflector plate 20 (for example blue).Therefore, in the surface light source apparatus of present embodiment, even by the irregular colour that can suppress to cause by the light quantity adjustment unit 7 that is provided with reflector plate 20.
In addition, in the light quantity adjustment unit 7 of present embodiment, dispose reflector plate 20, diffusion sheet 21 and light guide plate 5 every air layer respectively.But, by on each sheet, sticky material etc. being set, each sheet of fitting, can not be situated between has the configuration of air layer ground reflector plate 20, diffusion sheet 21 and light guide plate 5.By not being situated between air layer is arranged, just can eliminate the surface reflection that produces at the interface, and the light quantity that penetrates from the outgoing plane 11 of light guide plate 5 is increased, the light utilization efficiency of surface light source apparatus is improved at air layer.And, by fixing light quantity adjustment unit 7, can improve the light utilization efficiency of surface light source apparatus, and have the effect that prevents light amount regulating unit 7 activities that cause by vibration or impact etc. in the bottom of the recess 6 of light guide plate 5.
But the sticky material that each sheet uses etc. is preferably the material of transmitance more than 95%.And sticky material etc. are roughly the same with the refractive index of reflector plate 20, diffusion sheet 21 and light guide plate 5.Thus, can reduce in reflector plate 20, diffusion sheet 21 and light guide plate 5 direct reflection at the interface with sticky material.And, though be close to by sticky material between reflector plate 20, diffusion sheet 21 and the light guide plate 5 comprehensively, also can a part be close to.And, though be close to whole, also can only be close to a part of sheet by sticky material by sticky material.
And, in the present embodiment, though the flat shape of recess 6 is bottom (part of light amount regulating unit 7 is set) and the identical shape of edge part (inserting the part of led light source 4), but the invention is not restricted to this, also can adjust flat shape, so that display level the best of the outgoing plane 11 of light guide plate 5.
And then surface light source apparatus of the present invention also can be implemented mirror process, asperities processing, dot pattern printing or coloured printing etc. to the outgoing plane 11 or the outgoing plane opposing face 9 of light guide plate 5.By on the outgoing plane 11 of light guide plate 5 or outgoing plane opposing face 9, implementing asperities processing formation fold face, can further improve display level at outgoing plane 11 places of light guide plate 5.
And, in the present embodiment,, on the face of led light source 4 opposition sides of reflector plate 20, dispose color conversion sheet by replacing this coloured printing though on reflector plate 20, implement coloured printing, also can access same effect.In addition, this color conversion sheet for example, has the colored glass paper of transparent thin paper shape etc. for only making the sheet of the light transmission of specific wavelength.And, by using the high color conversion sheet of transmitance of comparing short wavelength side with the transmitance of long wavelength side, can alleviate the painted effect that causes by by above-mentioned reflector plate 20 thereby have.
And then the surface light source apparatus of present embodiment can increase the selective reflecting sheet on the optical sheet set 13 of configuration on the light guide plate 5.By light guide plate 5 sides the selective reflecting sheet is set in optical sheet set 13, the part of the light that can be penetrated from outgoing plane 11 by selective reflecting sheet reflection also makes it return to light amount regulating unit 7, thereby can increase the light that arrives light amount regulating unit 7, and effectively ` brightness irregularities or irregular colour are even.
In addition, this selective reflecting sheet is the sheet with the effect that promotes brightness.As the selective reflecting sheet, prismatic lens or reflective polaroid etc. are for example arranged, this prismatic lens has the prism shape that the light that makes approximate vertical incident returns to light amount regulating unit 7 sides via twice total reflection, and the sheet that this reflective polaroid utilization has polarizing properties is separated into reflected light and sees through light according to the polarization of incident light direction.
The display device of present embodiment constitutes the light that penetrates from the outgoing plane 11 of the light guide plate 5 of surface light source apparatus (peristome 1 of housing 2) by diffuser plate 12 and optical sheet set 13 and incide display panels.Display panels is by the orientation that changes liquid crystal layer that is switched on or switched off of the voltage realized by not shown on-off element, the light and the picture signal that incide display panels are modulated matchingly, shown in red (R), green (G) or blue (B).
In addition, under the situation that the monochromatic LED that sends redness (R), green (G) or blue (B) uses as light source, the half breadth of luminescent spectrum is narrow, and red (R), green (G), blue (B) luminescent spectrum in addition are seldom.So, the situation that has the cold-cathode tube of redness (R), green (G) or blue (B) luminescent spectrum in addition with the light source use is compared, and the LED of use bill coloured light has by absorb the colourity variation quantitative change tendency greatly that short wavelength side causes at reflector plate 20 places as the situation of light source.Thereby, use the irregular colour of not too being found out under the situation of cold-cathode tube to spare under light source uses the situation of LED of bill coloured light at light source and found out easily.To eliminate above-mentioned irregular colour even thereby the surface light source apparatus of present embodiment is by implementing coloured printing as mentioned above on reflector plate 20.
