Plane reflection member 330 is arranged on the bottom 310.Plane reflection member 330 is formed with a plurality of holes, and each light source L can extend by these holes.Plane reflection member 330 covers PCB 360 and only allows luminous light source L outstanding from this plane reflection member 330 by the hole.Plane reflection member 330 plays to spread widely the some light beam from light source L emission.
The optical component of being made up of diffuser plate and a plurality of optical sheet 350 is arranged in bottom 310 tops.Diffuser plate spreads the light from light source L emission on the whole zone of liquid crystal panel 390.
Liquid crystal panel 390 is included in the transistor (TFT) array substrate and the color filter array substrate of assembling under the opposed facing state.Liquid crystal panel 390 also comprises a plurality of distance piece (not shown) that are used for keeping the cell gap expected between two array base paltes, and by the liquid crystal layer (not shown) that is filled with in the liquid crystal spatial that distance piece limited.

Supportive body 380 is connected on the bottom 310.Having rectangular frame structure is secured on supportive body 380 and the bottom 310 with the top cover 400 at the edge that supports liquid crystal panel 390.
Bottom 310 is connected with supportive body 380, makes bottom 310 be used from the effect of the base of ccontaining back light unit 300.
The front surface edge of the liquid crystal panel 390 of top cover 400 package arrangement on bottom 310 and the transverse ends of bottom 310.In order to realize this function, top cover 400 comprises the planar section of the non-display area (being the edge of liquid crystal panel 390) that is used to cover the liquid crystal panel 390 except that the viewing area of liquid crystal panel 390, and the marginal portion that is used to encapsulate the transverse ends of bottom 310 from described planar section vertical curve.
Simultaneously, for making the central point brightness of relevant back light unit increase, the position of the light source of each above-mentioned the first to the 15 embodiment can be adjusted in the following manner.
Figure 20 to 22 has illustrated the view of adjusting the method for light source position.
Back light unit shown in Figure 20 has the identical layout of back light unit with Fig. 3 of illustration the 3rd embodiment.
From a plurality of light sources shown in Figure 20, will be spaced apart with the distance of " a " or " b " with the edge of the outermost light source of each adjacent layout in edge of bottom 310 and bottom 310.Particularly, will open with the core of the outermost light source Le of each adjacent layout in turning of bottom 310 and the marginating compartment in order to limit the bottom turning of bottom 310, on X-direction " a " respectively represents spacing distance with " b " on Y direction.On the other hand, the outermost light source between the outermost light source Le that the bottom corner that the same edge by bottom 310 limits arranges, spaced apart with the edge of bottom 310 with the distance of " a " or " b ".
Can central point brightness be increased.Hereinafter, be the outside spacing of X-axis with " a " value defined, " b " value defined is the outside spacing of Y-axis.
Increasing the outside spacing of X or Y-axis means the central point of outermost light source to bottom 310 is moved.Like this, remaining is arranged in the central point that light source within the outermost light source scope also is moved toward bottom 310, and the distance of central point that mobile distance and outermost light source are shifted to bottom 310 is identical.Therefore, be arranged in the central point that all light source L on the bottom 310 shift to bottom 310.
In other words, as shown in figure 21, when the Y-axis center line is moved to the left, it is moved down towards the X-axis center line at the light source L on the first quartile that will be arranged in bottom 310.Being arranged in light source L on second quadrant of bottom 310 when the Y-axis center line moves right, it is moved down towards the X-axis center line., when the Y-axis center line moves right, it is moved up towards the X-axis center line at the light source L on the third quadrant that will be arranged in bottom 310.Light source L on the four-quadrant that will be arranged in bottom 310 moves up it when the Y-axis center line is moved to the left towards the X-axis center line.Therefore, be arranged in the central point that all light source L on the bottom 310 shift to bottom 310.
For example, spacing has increased " k " by " a " when the X-axis outside, and the outside spacing of Y-axis has increased " k " by " b ", and as shown in figure 22, the area of light source region 800 reduces.Because the number that is arranged in the light source L on the light source region 800 is before the area of light source 800 reduces and constant afterwards, so the intensity height of the intensity of light source L before after the area of light source region 800 reduces, reducing than the area of light source region 800.After the area that this means light source region 800 reduced, central point brightness increased.
Although the situation that brightness uniformity reduces because the brightness away from the core of the brightness ratio bottom 310 of core of bottom 310 is low, therefore takes place in the advantage that the outside spacing of X that has increased or Y-axis provides central point brightness to increase.In other words, central point brightness and brightness uniformity are inverse proportion each other.
Therefore, consider brightness uniformity, be necessary to adjust the outside spacing of X and Y-axis.In other words, it is more satisfactory increasing the outside spacing of X and Y-axis in appropriate brightness uniformity scope.
As mentioned above, liquid crystal panel evenly is divided into a plurality of viewing areas, brightness uniformity is represented the ratio (highest brightness value/minimum brightness value) of brightness with the brightness of the viewing area that presents the minimum brightness value of the viewing area that presents highest brightness value.In above-mentioned test, liquid crystal panel evenly is divided into 128 viewing areas.
Yet in the brightness uniformity test that is used for being provided with the outside spacing of X and Y-axis, brightness uniformity is to measure under the situation that liquid crystal panel evenly is divided into 17 viewing areas.
Hereinafter, will be described in detail the brightness uniformity measuring method.
At first, preparation is according to a back light unit of the first to the 15 embodiment.Increase X in this back light unit and Y-axis outside spacing thereafter.
Measure the brightness uniformity of back light unit then.When measured value in the predetermined value scope, this back light unit with the X that increased and the outside spacing of Y-axis is normally available.
Yet, when measured value does not meet the predetermined value scope, be necessary to readjust the outside spacing of X and Y-axis.
The outside spacing of X and Y-axis also is subjected to the influence of the light path of back light unit.The light path of back light unit represents that bottom surface (inner surface of bottom is equipped with the PCB 360 of Figure 19 on it) from bottom is to the diffusion sheet distance of (form in a plurality of diffusion sheets of optical component 350 of Figure 19 and be arranged as from the nearest diffusion sheet of bottom).When light path increases, can increase the outside spacing of X and Y-axis.That is to say that light path exerts an influence to the increase nargin of X and the outside spacing of Y-axis.
Said external spacing method of adjustment also is applicable to conventional back light unit, has identical spacing (X and Y-axis spacing) between the adjacent light source in the light source wherein.
Simultaneously, the outside spacing of X and Y-axis can equal 1/2 of two spacings between adjacent light source.For example, in layout according to first embodiment shown in Figure 1,1/2 of the Y-axis spacing dy that the outside spacing of Y-axis equals to fix.On the other hand, the outside spacing of X-axis equals 1/2 of maximum the 5th spacing dx5 or ten pitch dx10.Similarly, according to the arrangement of second embodiment shown in Figure 2,1/2 of the X-axis spacing dx that the outside spacing of X-axis equals to fix.On the other hand, the outside spacing of Y-axis equals 1/2 of maximum the 3rd spacing dy3 or the 6th spacing dx6.
Be applicable to LCD equipment shown in Figure 19 with reference to the described back light unit of Figure 20 to 22.
Under the situation that does not break away from the spirit or scope of the present invention, can carry out various modifications and variations in the present invention, this is conspicuous for one of ordinary skill in the art.Therefore, the invention is intended to cover fall in claims and the equivalency range thereof to all modifications of the present invention and variation.
