Under the above-mentioned situation of supposition, cover 15 is preferred bonding by the interarea A of adhesives and light guide sheet 13.That is, shown in Fig. 7 (a), make layer of adhesive material 16 between the interarea A and cover 15 of light guide sheet 13.In such formation, if light source cell 14 is installed on matrix 11 back light source cells 14 come-ups, then follow the rising of light source cell 14, cover 15 rises.This cover 15 is bonded on the interarea A of light guide sheet 13 by layer of adhesive material 16, so along with the rising of cover 15, light guide sheet 13 also floats.Thus, shown in Fig. 7 (b), the distance at the center of the thickness direction of the center of the thickness direction of light source cell 14 and light guide sheet 13 is constant.Therefore, the light from light source cell 14 guides from the end face B of light guide sheet 13 efficiently.Its result can prevent that the brightness of lighting unit from reducing.
Then, with reference to accompanying drawing other embodiments of the present invention are elaborated.
Fig. 8 is the figure of the related lighting unit of expression embodiments of the present invention.In addition, about with the component omission explanation of Fig. 1~7 same-sign.
On contact chip 12, dispose light guide sheet 13 across liner 53.That is, between light guide sheet 13 and matrix 11, dispose liner 53 across contact chip 12.In addition, on light guide sheet 13, be provided with the light-emitting zone (not shown) that constitutes by light reflecting material.
Liner 53 is provided with in order to make the center contraposition as the thickness direction of the centre of luminescence of the light emitting diode 141 of light source and light guide sheet 13, its thickness is configured to enough thickness, so that the contraposition at the center of the thickness direction of the centre of luminescence of light emitting diode 14 and light guide sheet 13.Thus, the thickness of liner 53 can suitably be set on the basis of the position of the centre of luminescence of the thickness of considering light guide sheet 13 and the light emitting diode 141 on the matrix 11.Liner 53 is set to white.Thus, reverberation can be directed to light in the light guide sheet 13 efficiently efficiently.As the material of the liner under this situation 53, can enumerate acrylic resin, PEN resin, silicone resin, ABS resin etc.
In having the lighting unit of said structure, owing to make the center contraposition of the thickness direction of the centre of luminescence of light emitting diode 141 and light guide sheet 13 by liner 53, so can make light incide light guide sheet 13 efficiently from light emitting diode 141.Thus, because the light of the diode of self-luminous in the future 141 is used for the illumination of light-emitting zone efficiently, so can improve the brightness of light-emitting zone.
When the contraposition at the center of the thickness direction of the centre of luminescence that carries out light emitting diode 141 by liner 53 and light guide sheet 13, also can constitute the center contraposition of the thickness of the position of the centre of luminescence that makes light emitting diode 141 and light guide sheet 13 and liner.That is, shown in Fig. 9 (a), also can make the center contraposition of the position of the centre of luminescence of light emitting diode 141 and light guide sheet 13 and the aggregate thickness of liner 56.Particularly, shown in Fig. 9 (b), be under the conplane state at the end face that makes light guide sheet 13 with the transparent liner 56 that sees through light, make both and light source cell 14 opposed, make center X on the thickness direction of light guide sheet 13 and transparent liner 56, with the centre of luminescence contraposition of light emitting diode 141.
