The light guide plate of LCD and use its back light unit
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of light guide plate that is used for the backlight liquid crystal display unit, it comprises strip pattern (stripe pattern), more specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of back light unit that is used for the light guide plate of LCD and comprises described light guide plate, wherein be formed with stripe prisms on the rear surface of light guide plate, improve visual effect and brightness widely.
Background technology
Generally speaking, LCD (liquid crystal display device, LCD) refer to a kind of by electric field being put on the device that two liquid crystal between glass substrate come display digit or image.Wherein liquid crystal is made by the material with the middle phase (intermediate phase) between solid and liquid.
Because LCD is not the device with emissive ability, therefore need provide back light unit to produce light as light source, and by adjusting the transmittance amount that back light unit produced, display image on display panels.
Fig. 1 illustrates the decomposition diagram of the back light unit of conventional liquid crystal.
According to the position of source emissioning light, back light unit can classify as direct type back light unit (directtype backlight unit) and peripheral type back light unit (edge type backlight unit).The light source of direct type back light unit is located immediately at the rear side of the liquid crystal panel 100 of LCD.The light source of peripheral type back light unit is positioned at a side of panel 100.Peripheral type back light unit 10 as shown in Figure 1.

Please consult Fig. 4 once more, the rear surface 305 of main body 300 is formed with bar, described the predetermined distance of mode each interval of the limit with edge joint.Described refers to stripe prisms 320.
Fig. 8 is the amplification sectional view of each stripe prisms 320 among Fig. 4.Stripe prisms 320 can be utilized the mode of outstanding rag (embossed carving) or recessed lines (depressed engraving) and be formed on the rear surface 305 of light guide plate 30.
Each of stripe prisms 320 comprises rear prism 322, and rear prism 322 is formed on the surface of stripe prisms 320.Preferably, form rear prism 322 by this way, make the length direction of each rear prism 322 vertical from the transmit direction (direction Q) of light source with light.Reason is, when the length direction of formed each rear prism 322 and light are vertical from the transmit direction (direction Q) of light source, can carry out diffraction of light, refraction and scattering effectively.
In addition, as mentioned above, since such homeotropic alignment have make light can be via the whole surface of light guide plate the even advantage of refraction and diffusion, therefore be formed in the stripe prisms 320 rear prism 322 preferably with the vertical setting of length direction (direction Q) of preceding prism 310.
As shown in Figure 8, when each rear prism 322 on being formed at stripe prisms 320 had the triangular-section in the longitudinal direction, it was 60 °~100 ° vertex angle theta 1 that described triangular-section preferably has scope.

In addition, preferably, the width that each stripe prisms 320 has is 1: 1 with the scope of length ratio, 000~1: 50,000, and the scope of the height h1 that has of each rear prism 322 and width w1 ratio is 0.3~0.9: 1.The angular range that is limited between the length direction of the length direction of stripe prisms 320 and preceding prism 310 is 30 °~90 °.
Being formed at the stripe prisms 320 on the rear surface of light guide plate and being formed at stripe prisms 320 lip-deep rear prisms 322 will be in set forth in detail hereinafter.
The main body 300 of light guide plate has a plurality of stripe prisms 320, and stripe prisms 320 is formed on the rear surface 305, makes each stripe prisms 320 width when its any side surface 301 from light incident is far away more increase.Particularly, when light was incident on the opposite side surfaces 301, the centre of each stripe prisms 320 from each side surface 301 towards stripe prisms 320 little by little increased width.And if light is when being incident on the single side surface 301, each stripe prisms 320 little by little increases width (seeing also Fig. 9 and Figure 10) from this side towards opposite side.
At this moment, it is desirable to stripe prisms 320 does not form in the mode with the side surface next-door neighbour of light incident on it.Because when stripe prisms 320 formed the side surface of next-door neighbour's light incident on it, light can be dispersed near stripe prisms 320, and produces bright line.
In addition, rear prism 322 is formed on the surface of each stripe prisms 320, so that rear prism 322 is vertical with the incident direction of light by side surface.
After preassigned pattern formation stripe prisms 320, rear prism 322 can be formed on the surface of each stripe prisms 320.Yet, in fact, can form the array of several rear prisms 322, thereby produce the light guide plate of stripe prisms type of the present invention with different in width.
Fig. 9 and Figure 10 illustrate the schematic rear view of the main body 300 (seeing also Fig. 4) of light guide plate, show the embodiment of the arrangement of stripe prisms 320.
The vertical view of the arrangement of stripe prisms 320 when Fig. 9 illustrates light that light source 306 produces and is incident in the opposite side of main body 300 of light guide plate.
As shown in Figure 9, when light when light source is incident in the both sides 301 of main body 300, the rear surface of main body is adjusted the center to each bar 320 little by little increases width so that bar 320 is from main body both sides 301.
Simultaneously, the increase of the distance between each stripe prisms 320 and the side 301 causes arriving its light quantity minimizing.In the case, as mentioned above, when when increasing the width of stripe prisms 320 gradually with the increase of side 301 distances of light incident on it, the size of stripe prisms 320 increases, thereby increases the amount of anaclasis and reflection.
The planimetric map of the arrangement of stripe prisms 320 when Figure 10 illustrates light source 306 (seeing also Fig. 4) and only is arranged at light guide plate one side.
As shown in figure 10, when light when 306 of light sources are incident in a side 301, the rear surface 305 of main body is adjusted, so that each stripe prisms 320 little by little increases width via this zone line to opposite side from a described side.
Simultaneously, as mentioned above, it is desirable to stripe prisms 320 and do not form in mode with the side surface next-door neighbour of light incident on it.
Figure 11 illustrates the planimetric map of the example of the rear surface of light guide plate according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in figure 11, the rear surface 305 of light guide plate 30 also comprises a prism 325 in the space of 320 of stripe prisms.
The reason that forms some prism 325 is refractive index and the reflectivity for the light in the space of improving 320 of stripe prisms.
In fact, when BLU adopted the CCFL light source, because the characteristic of BLD, the light quantity of being sent reduced at the far-end (in other words, the far-end of CCFL) of light guide plate, made the edge deepening of back light unit.Therefore, in order to strengthen visibility, inserted some prism 325.
Have circle though each some prism 325 is shown in Figure 11, yet the present invention is not limited to this shape herein.Point prism 325 can have different shape, comprises triangle, rectangle, pentagon, sexangle, ellipse and rhombus etc.In addition, each some prism 325 can form the second amorphism rear prism of no given shape.
Figure 12 and Figure 13 illustrate the planimetric map according to the light guide plate of other embodiments of the invention.
See also Figure 12, the main body 300 of light guide plate has the stripe prisms 320 that is formed on its rear surface 305.And each bar is along with the increase of the distance of the side surface 301 of light incident on it and little by little increase width.Simultaneously, according to this embodiment, light is incident in (as shown in figure 12) on the side surface 301, form the rear prism 322 on the stripe prisms 320 by this way, make the width of rear prism 322 increase, thereby prevented near the visibility of four edges of light guide plate rear surface 305 and the reduction of brightness in four edges near the rear surface 305 of light guide plate.
So the design of bar like pattern can prevent to produce the dark space in light guide plate rear surface 305 edges.
Though, it is desirable on rear prism 322 is formed at stripe prisms 320 with predetermined space the surface and do not have big interval each other, yet as shown in Figure 13, the interval between the rear prism 322 on the stripe prisms 320 can be adjusted, so that adjust brightness and visibility exactly.
Theme of the present invention is that the rear surface of light guide plate main body is formed with stripe prisms 320, each stripe prisms 320 according to and the increase of the distance of the one or more side surfaces of light incident on it increase width, and comprise and be formed at its lip-deep rear prism 322.Therefore, be appreciated that any by revising stripe prisms 320 shape and the invention of acquisition such as interval all be included in the category of the present invention.
Figure 14 illustrates the comparison diagram according to the brightness of the light guide plate of the light guide plate of stripe prisms type of the present invention and traditional some prism type.
Brightness for the light guide plate of the light guide plate of measuring stripe prisms type shown in Figure 14 and traditional some prism type, the light guide plate that is used for the back light unit of 21.2 inches types laterally and vertically is being divided into 5 parts respectively, to form 25 zones, subsequently with cd/m 2For each regional brightness is measured by unit.
According to by the result of two kinds of light guide plate gained relatively, each has as shown in figure 14 aperture than (just the pattern of per unit area than) light guide plate.Should be appreciated that the brightness average specific that comprises the light guide plate of stripe prisms according to the present invention has the leaded light plate hight 10% of a prism or higher traditionally.
May be obvious that from above-mentioned, utilize light guide plate of the present invention, LCD of the present invention can not adopt diffusion sheet and the prismatic lens that is used for back light unit in the conventional liquid crystal, can obtain the effect substantially the same with conventional liquid crystal.In other words, light guide plate according to the present invention just can access the planar light with superior brightness, uniformity coefficient and visibility under the situation of only light source and light guide plate.
The light guide plate that is used for LCD according to the present invention makes the whole lip-deep light quantity that arrives panel of LCD increase equably, and make the light quantity of little vertical direction guiding increase, therefore, compared to traditional light guide plate, light guide plate of the present invention can guarantee superior brightness, uniformity coefficient and visibility.Compare with the light guide plate of a prism type, improve to some extent according to the brightness of light guide plate of the present invention.
Therefore, because back light unit can realize under the situation of diffusion sheet and prismatic lens the two or one of them not having, therefore can reduce the cost of back light unit.
