Spot light unit 10,10 generally is the primary source that is made of mutually different at least two point source of lights of illuminant colour.In the present embodiment, use LED14a, 14b, the 14c of each primitive color light that radiates R (red), G (green), B (indigo plant) respectively.In each unit 10, each LED14a, 14b, 14c form one group.Each unit 10 generally possesses many group LED14a, 14b, 14c.
That is, organize LED14a, 14b, 14c along each alternately arrangement of plane of incidence 8 more.In addition, only show three LED14a, 14b, 14c near the two ends of each plane of incidence 8 in Fig. 3 (a), other LED has omitted diagram.As described below, above second LGP 7, the white light that the trichromatic light compositing (mixing) by LED14a, 14b, 14c generates is exported with high evenness from the whole light-emitting area of planar light source device 2.
First LGP 6 possesses end profile 15 at the end that is positioned at a side opposite with the plane of incidence (first side end face) 8.Equally, second LGP 7 possesses end profile 15 at the end that is positioned at a side opposite with the plane of incidence (second side end face) 8.And, second LGP, 7 overlay configuration are on first LGP 6, make that the plane of incidence (second side end face) 8 of second LGP 7 is corresponding with terminal surface (first terminal surface) 15 of first LGP 6, the terminal surface of second LGP 7 (second side end face) 8 is corresponding with the plane of incidence (first terminal surface) 15 of first LGP 6.
(first LGP and second LGP)
First LGP 6 and second LGP 7 are formed by light transmission excellent material such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), Merlon (PC) and cyclic olefine resin materials.The face of a side opposite with the upper surface (second outgoing plane) 17 of second LGP 7 is the back side (second back side) 11, faces mutually with the upper surface (first outgoing plane) 13 of first LGP 6.
Shown in Fig. 1~Fig. 3 (a), first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 have the flat shape of quadrangle form, and along with away from each plane of incidence 8 thickness attenuation.In other words, first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 are the opticses with wedge shape.The thickness of first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 becomes maximum at each plane of incidence 8.In addition, the thickness of first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 becomes minimum at each terminal surface 15.
If like this combination first LGP 6 and second LGP 7, then can make the gauge homogenising of planar light source device 2 and diminish, thereby help realizing the miniaturization of planar light source device 2.
As shown in Figure 2, first outgoing plane 13 provides the inclined plane that relative first back side 16 tilts.Equally, second back side 11 provides another inclined plane that relative second outgoing plane 17 tilts.Between second back side 11 and first outgoing plane 13, there is thin air layer.Much less, the refractive index of air layer is substantially equal to 1.0, and all littler than the refractive index of other any optical material, for example the refractive index than first LGP 6 is also little.
Here, importantly, first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 possess the mechanism of inhibition " light before colour mixture is carried out fully penetrates ".That is, with regard to first LGP 6, in the scope of the given size (L1) of the plane of incidence 8 terminad faces 15, the back side 16 becomes shiny surface.Like this, suppressing light penetrates from first outgoing plane 13.In this sense, this zone at the back side 16 provides and suppresses the ejaculation inhibition zone (first penetrate inhibition zone) 18 of light from the ejaculation of first outgoing plane 13.
Equally, second LGP 7 is in the scope of the given size (L1) of the plane of incidence 8 terminad faces 15, and the back side 11 becomes shiny surface.Like this, suppressing light penetrates from second outgoing plane 17.In this sense, this zone at the back side 11 provides and suppresses the ejaculation inhibition zone (second penetrate inhibition zone) 18 of light from the ejaculation of second outgoing plane 17.
The given size (L1) of each light ejaculation inhibition zone 18,18 is that LED14a~14c of R, G, B fully mixes (it is photochemical to carry out white in the present embodiment) required distance from each plane of incidence 8.Now, the distance from the plane of incidence 8 that begins to mix as if the color with LED14a~14c is made as L1 ', then L1>L1 '.The value of distance L 1 ' for example can be with estimating in the following formula.
L1’=P/(2·tanθ)
Shown in Fig. 3 (b), the θ in the following formula is from the extended corner to the incident light of the direction parallel with outgoing plane 13 after the plane of incidence 8 incidents of the ejaculation light of each LED14a, 14b, 14c...... (size of the angular range of the ejaculation intensity more than the half value of intensity is provided).In addition, P is whole-colored LED spacing.Be made as distance between Pb, LED14c-14c when being made as Pc the distance between LED14a-14a being made as distance between Pa, LED14b-14b, if Pa=Pb=Pc, then can make P=Pa (=Pb=Pc).In addition, when there are differences on Pa, Pb, Pc, the maximum that preferably makes Pa, Pb, Pc is P.
Implemented at the plane of incidence 8 or near it to strengthen under the situation of measure of extended corner θ, then can become to make the value of L1 ' littler than the L1 under the situation of not carrying out this research.But, because L1 ' be the distance (from the distance of the plane of incidence 8) at the beginning of the mixing of whole-colored light, so, be used for the given size L1 L1>L1 ' preferably of the ejaculation inhibition zone 18 of the needed light of abundant white lightization.In general, be adjusted to optimum size according to the gauge of first and second LGP 6,7 or the characteristics of luminescence of LED14a~14c.
Here, length direction (directions X) size with the plane of incidence 8 of first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 is made as L2.So the ejaculation inhibition zone 18,18 of the light of first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 becomes the zone of the area of (L1) * (L2).The zone of the area of (L1 ') in addition, * (L2) becomes light and mixes forefoot area.
Be formed with the ejaculation of having left the plane of incidence (first side end face) 8 at the back side 16 of first LGP 6 and promote zone (first penetrates the promotion zone) 21.In addition, promote to be formed with between the zone 21 the cumulative zone of ejaculation (the cumulative zone of first ejaculation) 20 in the first ejaculation inhibition zone 18 and first ejaculation.Equally, be formed with the ejaculation of having left the plane of incidence (second side end face) 8 at the back side 11 of second LGP 7 and promote zone (second penetrates the promotion zone) 21.In addition, promote to be formed with between the zone 21 the cumulative zone of ejaculation (the cumulative zone of second ejaculation) 20 in the second ejaculation inhibition zone 18 and second ejaculation.
Each penetrates and promotes zone 21 scopes that are formed at from each end profile 15 to given size L1.Its result, as shown in Figure 2, formation first penetrates inhibition zone 18 and second ejaculation promotes zone 21 to overlap, and the positions relation that promotion zone 21 overlaps is penetrated in the second ejaculation inhibition zone 18 and first.And first and second penetrates the cumulative regional 20 positions relations that also constitute to overlap.
Penetrate promotion zone 21 at each and be formed with the ejaculations promotion mechanism of promotion from outgoing plane 13 or 17 ejaculations.Promote mechanism as penetrating, have the microspike such as micro prisms shape projection, sandblast face, pyrometric cone or circular cone of fold face, ridge shape or small recess etc. matsurface, have the ink printing face of light diffusing characteristic diffuser etc., usually, so long as promote light to get final product from outgoing plane 13 or 17 mechanisms that penetrate.
Each penetrates cumulative regional 20 is to connect " zone of intermediateness " of respectively penetrating inhibition zone 18 and each ejaculation inhibition zone 21, is along with increase the zone of penetrating the promotion ability gradually away from each plane of incidence 8.Each penetrate cumulative regional 20 and each penetrate the border of inhibition zone 18 and respectively penetrate cumulative regional 20 and each penetrate the border that promotes zone 21, it is desirable to, penetrate and suppress or penetrate the ability that promotes sharply not change.
In other words, each penetrates cumulative regional 20 along with lose the inhibition ability that penetrates gradually away from each plane of incidence 8, and it is high more that approaching more ejaculation promotes zone 21 to penetrate the promotion ability.
Therefore, penetrate the formation density that cumulative regional 20, above-mentioned ejaculation promotes mechanism forms gently by dredging to thickly cumulative at each.
Promote zone 21 and each to penetrate cumulative regional 20 border in each ejaculation, the formation density that penetrates promotion mechanism had better not discontinuously change (that is staged method).In addition, penetrate the formation density that cumulative regional 20 ejaculation promotes mechanism at each, from each penetrate cumulative regional 20 and each border that penetrate to promote zone 21 to each penetrate cumulative regional 20 and each border of penetrating inhibition zone 18 reduce gradually, each penetrate cumulative regional 20 and each border of penetrating inhibition zone 18 become 0.
In addition, being formed at each ejaculation that penetrate to promote zone 21 promotes mechanism and is formed at respectively to penetrate cumulative regional 20 ejaculation and promote mechanism, for visibility on the planar light source device 2 and the short of inharmonious sense of ejaculation brightness, also can be different types of mechanism (for example, the micro prisms shape projection of fold face, ridge shape).
(first light suppresses parts/second light and suppresses parts)
First and second light suppresses parts 4,5 and forms the film shape by the good resin material of light transmission (for example, PET (PET), PMMA, PC).To shown in Figure 2, the flat shape of each light control member 4,5 and the outgoing plane 17 of second LGP 7 are roughly the same, are quadrangle form as Fig. 1.
In the present embodiment, first light control member 4 has the function of diffused light, and second light control member 5 has the function of the direct of travel of revising light.
At least the one side of medial surface of first light control member 4 (face relative with outgoing plane 17) and lateral surface (face relative with second light control member 5) be a matsurface, spreads from the light of outgoing plane 17 ejaculations and to second light control member with this and supplies with.In addition, because the diffusion that this matsurface brought is difficult to recognize the ejaculation that is formed at first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 from the outer side-looking of LCD panel 3 and promotes mechanism's (matsurface etc.).
As Fig. 1 to shown in Figure 2, second its lateral surface of tabula rasa control assembly (face relative with LCD panel 3; Above) prism facets is provided.This light control member is called prismatic lens up.On prism facets, shape ground, ridge is formed with the prism-like projection 22 that cross section that the length direction (directions X) of a plurality of each plane of incidence 8,8 along first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 extends is the general triangular shape continuously.Second light control member 5 utilizes well-known function, make the frontal of the direct of travel deflection of the light that is spread by first light control member 4, and will increase at the back side of LCD panel 3 with light vertical or that approach vertical angle incident near outgoing plane 17.
Secondly, with reference to Fig. 4 the light characteristic from the ejaculation light of the outgoing plane 17 of planar light source device 2 is described.In Fig. 4, described luminosity response (solid line A, solid line B and dotted line C) under three lighting conditions (first lighting condition~the 3rd lighting condition).The lighting condition that obtains each curve A, B, C is as follows.
Solid line A: first condition=only make formation carry out the bright lamp of LED14a~14c (only supplying with second illumination light) of the spot light unit 10 of light supply to second LGP 7.
Solid line B: first lighting condition=only make formation carry out the bright lamp of LED14a~14c (only supplying with first illumination light) of the spot light unit 10 of light supply to first LGP 6.
Dotted line C: the bright lamp of LED14a~14c (supplying with first illumination light and second illumination light) that makes two spot light unit 10,10.
Can understand following situation from Fig. 4.
(1) shown in solid line A, do not penetrate basically in the ejaculation inhibition zone of second LGP 7 (second penetrates the inhibition zone) 18.That is, the light ejaculation from second outgoing plane 17 in the ejaculation inhibition zone of second LGP 7 (second penetrates the inhibition zone) 18, the second illumination light is suppressed.Penetrating cumulative zone (second penetrates cumulative zone) 20,, penetrating brightness increase gradually gently along with away from the second ejaculation inhibition zone 18.Penetrate promotion zone 21 if enter second, then penetrate brightness and be roughly necessarily (side end face 15 towards end reduces slightly).
(2) shape described of solid line B is a benchmark with the center line (CL) with the direction of the plane of incidence 8 quadratures of first LGP 6, with solid line A left-right symmetry roughly.That is, the light ejaculation from first outgoing plane 13 in the ejaculation inhibition zone of first LGP 6 (first penetrates the inhibition zone) 18, the first illumination light is suppressed.Penetrating cumulative zone (first penetrates cumulative zone) 20,, penetrating brightness increase gradually gently along with away from the first ejaculation inhibition zone 18.Penetrate promotion zone 21 if enter first, then penetrate brightness and be roughly necessarily.
(3) shape described of dotted line C becomes the synthetic shape of adding up with solid line A and solid line B.If, then be C=A+B with the symbol performance.Though expressing, dotted line C penetrates brightness the highest with the center line (CL) of the direction (Y direction) of the plane of incidence 8 quadratures of first LGP 6, after this towards each terminal side end face 15 its penetrate the tendency that brightness reduce slightly, but, but can obtain roughly certain ejaculation brightness on the whole.
Like this, in the present embodiment, can in wider scope, obtain to penetrate uniformly brightness.In addition, compare the utilization ratio height of light with above-mentioned prior art (planar light source device 100).Reason is, in planar light source device 100, because at the inside leaded light of mixed light-guiding plate 101 and LGP 102, thereby leaded light length compares with the occasion of planar light source device 2 and become big, thus the easy step-down of the utilization ratio of light.Also have, as shown in figure 15,180 degree changes of the direct of travel of the light by reflector 103 also make the utilization ratio of light reduce.In planar light source device 2, do not need 180 changes of the direct of travel of the light by this reflector.

Have again, according to present embodiment, the part that the light of first illumination light is concentrated is penetrated the effect of inhibition zone 18 by near first the plane of incidence 8 that is formed at first LGP 6, after illuminant colour fully mixes, penetrate cumulative area surface 20 and first from first and penetrate outgoing plane 13 ejaculations that promote area surface 21 tops, and supply with to second LGP 7.The more part of this light penetrates from outgoing plane 17.Be referred to as first and penetrate light (from the ejaculation light of first illumination light).
On the other hand, the part that the light of second illumination light is concentrated is penetrated the effect of inhibition zone 18 by near second the plane of incidence 8 that is formed at second LGP 6, after illuminant colour fully mixes, penetrate cumulative area surface 20 and second from second and penetrate outgoing plane 17 ejaculations that promote area surface 21 tops.Be referred to as second and penetrate light (from the ejaculation light of second illumination light).
As a result, the first ejaculation light and second penetrates light from outgoing plane 17 ejaculations.Therefore, first penetrate light and second and penetrate light any all is difficult to become the light of undermixing.In the occasion of present embodiment, owing to generate white light by colour mixture, so, suppressed the irregular uniform white light of form and aspect from outgoing plane 17 ejaculations.
In addition, as mentioned above, though known have and the planar light source device 2 that relates to present embodiment similar planar light source device (second prior art) in appearance,, structure and effect, effect are different fully with planar light source device 2.

(modified example 5)
Fig. 9 is the figure that the modified example 5 to the planar light source device 2 shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 (a) and (b) describes.With reference to Fig. 9, respectively penetrating of the light of first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 cumulative regional 20 implemented modification.At first, the cumulative zone of the ejaculation of first LGP (first penetrate cumulative zone) 20 is divided into two wedge shape zones (cross section is a triangle) by the oblique dividing line 26 of the end (on outgoing plane 13) from the end of the plane of incidence 8 one sides (overleaf 16 on) to terminal surface 15 1 sides.In these two wedge shape zones, in Fig. 9, sneaked into a plurality of light diffusing particles in the wedge shape zone of next side, in the wedge shape zone of a last side, do not sneak into light diffusing particles.
On the other hand, the cumulative zone of the ejaculation of second LGP (second penetrate cumulative zone) 20 is divided into two wedge shape zones (cross section is a triangle) by the oblique dividing line 25 of the end (on outgoing plane 17) from the end of the plane of incidence 8 one sides (overleaf 11 on) to terminal surface 15 1 sides.In these two wedge shape zones, in Fig. 9, sneaked into a plurality of light diffusing particles in the wedge shape zone of next side, in the wedge shape zone of a last side, do not sneak into light diffusing particles.Also have, the motherboard (matrix material) of first LGP and second LGP is transparent resin.In addition, as light diffusing particles, can use the particulate of the refractive index material different with this resin.
In this modified example 5, the light ability at random in cumulative regional 20 of respectively penetrating of first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 penetrates inhibition zone 18 and penetrates and promote zone 21 to increase gradually from each to each, and thereupon, penetrating brightness also increases.Also have, in modified example 5, the back side 16,11 can be the even surface same with penetrating inhibition zone 18 penetrating cumulative regional 20 interval corresponding to each.
(modified example 6)
In each example so far, as the mutually different point source of light of illuminant colour, illustration LED14a, 14b, the mode of 14c of each primary colors of use R (red), G (green), B (indigo plant).But these do not limit the present invention.For example, also can replace LED14a, 14b, the 14c of each primary colors and adopt in the toning of illuminant colour how many a plurality of white point source of lights devious (White LED) are arranged.That is, how many White LEDs of market sale has deviation as a rule in toning.For example be to have red white light, have blue white light, have green white light, have yellow white light etc.In this case, for example, use the white light LED that optionally selects even replace the white LEDs 14a~14c of primary colors, by above-mentioned colour mixture effect (fully penetrating after the colour mixture), the deviation of toning is also not obvious.
Relative therewith, prior art makes that by selecting the LED (White LED that for example has blue white light) that uses specific toning the deviation of toning is not obvious.But, this labour who selects operation need be a large amount of.If adopt the present invention, even then just use a plurality of point source of lights (for example White LED) that have deviation in the toning of illuminant colour without as described above selecting, the deviation of toning can obviously not changed yet.
(modified example 7)
Figure 10 (a) relates to the cutaway view of the planar light source device 2 of modified example 7, and Figure 10 (b) is the A portion enlarged drawing among Figure 10 (a).In addition, Figure 10 (c) is the B portion enlarged drawing among Figure 10 (a).Also have, Figure 11 is expression and the figure of the brightness distribution curve of the corresponding ejaculation light from second LGP 7 of the pattern cross sectional shape of the planar light source device that relates to modified example 7.
With reference to these figure, the spot light unit 10 that is made of a plurality of LED14 is along the plane of incidence 8 configurations of first LGP 6 and second LGP 7.According to the feature of modified example 7, near the upper end of the plane of incidence 8 of each LGP 6,7, be formed with first reflecting surface 30,31, near the lower end, be formed with second reflecting surface 32,33.
Shown in Figure 10 (b), parallel with the back side 16 relatively imaginary line 34 of reflecting surface 30,32 provides formation to be respectively the inclined plane of δ angle.But the inclination of the inclination of reflecting surface 30 and reflecting surface 32 is reciprocal, forms first LGP 6 along with increase thickness gradually away from the plane of incidence 8.
On the other hand, shown in Figure 10 (c), also relatively parallel with outgoing plane 17 imaginary line 35 of reflecting surface 31,33 provides formation to be respectively the inclined plane of δ angle.The inclination of the inclination of reflecting surface 31 and reflecting surface 33 is reciprocal, forms second LGP 7 along with increase thickness gradually away from the plane of incidence 8.
In this example, shown in Figure 10 (a) and (b), first LGP 6 is the scope that is formed with first reflecting surface 30 and second reflecting surface 32 (only leaving the scope of the position of given size M1), along with the arrow X1 direction along Figure 10 (a) increases thickness of slab gradually away from the plane of incidence 8 from the plane of incidence 8.In addition, from the position that first reflecting surface 30 and second reflecting surface 32 disappear, along with towards the arrow X1 of Figure 10 (a) direction, thickness of slab reduces gradually.
On the other hand, shown in Figure 10 (a), (c), second LGP 7 is the scope that is formed with first reflecting surface 31 and second reflecting surface 33 (only leaving the scope of the position of given size M1), along with the arrow X2 direction along Figure 10 (a) increases thickness of slab gradually away from the plane of incidence 8 from the plane of incidence 8.In addition, from the position that first reflecting surface 31 and second reflecting surface 33 disappear, along with towards the arrow X2 of Figure 10 (a) direction, thickness of slab reduces gradually.
In this modified example 7, owing to be formed with first reflecting surface 30,31 and second reflecting surface 32,33, so, the internal communication light of propagating in each LGP 6,7 is on these reflectings surface during internal reflection, direct of travel after the internal reflection is compared with the situation that does not have these reflectings surface (reciprocal inclined plane) (with reference to Fig. 2 (a)), approaches the direction parallel with the back side 16 or outgoing plane 17.
In Figure 10 (b), the Ha illustration does not have the direct of travel of internal reflected light of the occasion of reflecting surface 30,32, and there is the direct of travel of the internal reflected light in the modified example 7 of reflecting surface 30,32 in the Hb illustration.In addition, in Figure 10 (c), the Ha illustration does not have the direct of travel of internal reflected light of the occasion of reflecting surface 31,33, and there is the direct of travel of the internal reflected light in the modified example 7 of reflecting surface 31,33 in the Hb illustration.
Much less, Hb more is difficult to deviate from from LGP 6 or 7 than Ha.Therefore, the ejaculation from outgoing plane 13 or outgoing plane 17 (penetrating naturally) that each penetrates in the inhibition zone 18 can suppress in modified example 7 more effectively.
Modified example 7 is suitable for LGP 6,7 and is the occasion of wedge shape (with reference to Fig. 2 (a)).Now, the angle of inclination at the back side 11 of the angle of inclination of the outgoing plane 13 of first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 all is made as α, when then α is big (steeper inclination), especially the advantage of modified example 7 is brought into play.
Promptly, when inclined angle alpha is big, the internal reflection of carrying out repeatedly in internal reflection of carrying out repeatedly in the outgoing plane 13 and the back side 16 and outgoing plane 17 and the back side 11 causes surplus near each plane of incidence 8, even the danger of ejaculation naturally that causes from outgoing plane 13 or outgoing plane 17 is also arranged penetrating inhibition zone 18.This is because near the plane of incidence 8, the inside incidence angle of outgoing plane 13 or outgoing plane 17 is easy to reach below the critical angle relatively.
As described above, by using this modified example 7, the internal communication light that can suppress LGP 6,7 is near the plane of incidence 8, to outgoing plane 13 or outgoing plane 17 phenomenon with the inner incident of inside incidence angle below the critical angle.Its result, each penetrates inhibition zone 18 and brings into play function more well, can suppress the fully mixed preceding ejaculation of illuminant colour, and form and aspect are irregular more not obvious.
Also have, in Figure 10 (b), (c), record numerical value in the lump.These numerical value are the examples for understanding to this modified example being more prone to and representing.Shown in Figure 10 (b), (c), it is that 2.53mm, δ are that 4 °, M1 are that 3mm ground forms reflecting surface 30~33 that first LGP 6 and second LGP 7 make the thickness of slab of the plane of incidence 8.
These numerical value are always illustration, preferably set optimal values according to the various design conditions of the light-emitting area of each LGP 6,7 etc.
(modified example 8)

With reference to Figure 12 (a), there is shown the planar light source device 2 that on the plane of incidence 8 of second LGP 7, does not form wide-angle mechanism, that is, show the enforcement modification planar light source device 2 before that relates to sex change example 8.
With reference to Figure 12 (b), the plane of incidence 8 of second LGP 7 be formed with LED14 with corresponding one to one wide-angle mechanism 40.With reference to Figure 12 (c), the mode of facing mutually with the LED14 with the both ends that are arranged in a plurality of LED14 that constitute spot light unit 10 disposes wide-angle mechanism 40.In Figure 12 (d), amplify the wide-angle mechanism 40 that has represented among Figure 12 (c).
In addition, Figure 12 (e) illustration with the wide-angle mechanism 40 of wide-angle mechanism 40 different structures of Figure 12 (d).
In the example shown in Figure 12 (c), the plane of incidence 8 of second LGP 7 is disposing wide-angle mechanism 40 with the corresponding part of LED14 that is disposed on its length direction both ends.By this wide-angle mechanism 40, from the light H ' of LED14 leaded light as follows: behind the inside of inciding second LGP 7, though by the length direction expansion (with reference to the light H of Figure 13 (a)) of the plane of incidence 8, do not expand (do not go up at the ε of Figure 13 (b) and change) in the thickness of slab direction of second LGP 7 partially.
As the wide-angle mechanism 40 of the plane of incidence 8, can adopt flat shape is roughly circular-arc recess 41 (with reference to Figure 12 (d)), and perhaps, flat shape is a plurality of continuous matsurfaces 42 of the microspike of general triangular (with reference to Figure 12 (e)) etc.Formation forms and is orthogonal to outgoing plane 17 quadratures (with reference to Figure 13 (b)) of the plane of incidence 8 as the side of the microspike of the recess 41 of wide-angle mechanism 40 and matsurface 42.
In order to compare, the planar light source device 2 that the plane of incidence 8 at second LGP 7 does not form any wide-angle mechanism 40 is studied with reference to Figure 12 (a).
