Outgoing plane S1 and back side S2 as the first type surface of resin plate 11 are rectangle (being typically rectangle), and area separately is 400000mm 2More than.For example, outgoing plane S1 and back side S2 can be the rectangles of 800mm * 500mm.
The thickness of resin plate 11 is 1.5mm~4.0mm.Has to a certain degree thickness by resin plate like this, even if 400000mm 2Above large tracts of land, distortion and the breakage of the LGP that the impact that is subject in the time of also can fully preventing from using in planar light source device causes.Consider that from same viewpoint the thickness of resin plate 11 preferably surpasses 2.0mm, more preferably more than 2.5.On the other hand, consider that from the viewpoint of the slimming of display unit the thickness of preferred resin plate 11 is little.Particularly, the thickness of resin plate 11 is preferably below the 3.7mm, more preferably below the 3.5mm.
Resin plate 11 is the phenylethylene resin series plates that formed by phenylethylene resin series.Phenylethylene resin series comprises the polymer that styrene or its simple function derivative (hereinafter referred to as " styrenic monomers ") are contained as main monomeric unit.The styrenic monomers that consists of phenylethylene resin series for example can also be used the substituted phenylethylene class except styrene.As this substituted phenylethylene class, for example can enumerate the halogenated styrenes class of chlorostyrene, bromstyrol and so on, the ring-alkylated styrenes class of vinyltoluene, AMS and so on etc.Styrenic monomers can be used separately separately, also can will be used in combination more than 2 kinds.Phenylethylene resin series can also contain other composition of the trace that mixes with its polymer.Phenylethylene resin series can be the homopolymers of styrenic monomers, also can be the copolymer of styrenic monomers and other one kind or two or more monofunctional monomer.Take the overall quality of phenylethylene resin series as benchmark, phenylethylene resin series preferably contains the above monomeric unit from styrenic monomers of 50 quality %.
With the monofunctional monomer of styrenic monomers copolymerization so long as have 1 can radical polymerization the compound of two keys get final product.This monofunctional monomer is to be selected from methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate, EMA, butyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, phenyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, 2-Ethylhexyl Methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, the acrylate such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, phenyl acrylate, benzyl acrylate, 2-EHA and acrylic acid 2-hydroxy methacrylate, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, and in the acrylonitrile at least a kind.Wherein, the methacrylate such as preferable methyl methyl acrylate.
From keeping sufficient intensity and the good viewpoint of extruding processability considers that the weight average molecular weight Mw that consists of the phenylethylene resin series of resin plate 11 is preferably 200000~400000, more preferably 250000~3800000.The higher limit of the weight average molecular weight of phenylethylene resin series and lower limit can be from for example selecting arbitrarily 200000,250000,280000,300000,330000,3800000 and 400000.Consider from same viewpoint, and the molecular weight distribution of phenylethylene resin series (ratio of weight average molecular weight Mw and number-average molecular weight Mn Mw/Mn) is preferably 2.0~4.0, and more preferably 2.5~3.4.The higher limit of the molecular weight distribution of phenylethylene resin series and lower limit can be from for example selecting arbitrarily 2.0,2.5,2.6,3.2,3.4,3.6 and 4.0.If weight average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution are large, when utilizing method moulding resin plates such as extruding processing, forming machine is brought large load, so the foreign matter in the forming machine etc. is sneaked in the resin plate easily.In addition, because molecular weight distribution is little, easily by grinding the end face smoothing with the resin plate after the moulding.From the Sielight type face light source device of surface feeding sputtering, the end face processing of carrying out easily large-area resin plate is particular importance at light.
Above-mentioned weight average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution are to utilize gel permeation chromatography (GPC) to measure and value that the polystyrene standard that obtains converts.
As the phenylethylene resin series that consists of resin plate 11, the light transmittance T600 that preferably this phenylethylene resin series moulding is obtained, has the thickness direction among the wavelength 600nm of tabular test film of thickness of 4mm is more than 85%, more preferably more than 87%, more preferably more than 88%.The higher limit of T600 and lower limit can be from for example selecting arbitrarily 85%, 87%, 88%, 89.9%, 90.0% and 90.1%.The light transmittance T365 of the thickness direction among the wavelength 365nm of this test film is preferably 0.90~0.99 with respect to the ratio (T365/T600) of T600.Have the transmitance that satisfies these conditions by phenylethylene resin series, can in large-area planar light source device, supply with the light of abundant brightness.Consider that from same viewpoint T365/T600 is more preferably more than 0.94, more preferably more than 0.95.The higher limit of T365/T600 and lower limit can be from for example selecting arbitrarily 0.90,0.94,0.942,0.943,0.947,0.95 and 0.99.Usually be to show equally T600 more than 85% and 0.90~0.99 T365/T600 with above-mentioned test film in the scope about 1.5~4mm at thickness with the resin plate of the individual layer that satisfies the phenylethylene resin series moulding of above-mentioned condition and obtain.
For the tabular test film (thickness 4mm) that common a large amount of phenylethylene resin series moulding of using are obtained, T365/T600 is mostly less than 0.90.As its reason, such as considering it is in liquid phase, to utilize the methods such as suspension polymerization, dispersion copolymerization method to make the starting monomer polymerization and when making phenylethylene resin series, in the phenylethylene resin series that obtains, sneak into solvent, catalyst component and other additive.Gasiform starting monomer is contacted with the catalyst of solid shape and carry out polymerization and make in the situation of phenylethylene resin series, also it is contemplated that sneaking into of catalyst component.In addition, also consider owing to a small amount of for various purposes additive that adds in the phenylethylene resin series of making descends T365.
Therefore, as phenylethylene resin series, for example, do not add the few phenylethylene resin series of amount of additive or additive after in manufacturing process, having used the phenylethylene resin series that fully cleans after being difficult to make the painted material of phenylethylene resin series as the phenylethylene resin series of additive, catalyst etc., polymerization, polymerization by choice for use, thereby can access T365/T600 at the test film of 0.90~0.95 scope.The highly purified phenylethylene resin series so as described later form with commercially available product shown in the embodiment obtains.
Resin plate 11 can also comprise other compositions such as emboliform light diffusing agent that form from the mutually different phase that contains phenylethylene resin series except phenylethylene resin series.Resin plate 11 can be made by common forming methods such as extrusion moldings.
Reflecting part 12 is the upper dot pattern that forms regulation of S2 overleaf.Reflecting part 12 for example contains emboliform smooth reflective agent and is dispersed with the adhesive of this light reflective agent.Reflecting part 12 can form by the usual ways such as pattern printing of printing ink.
Light source 3 is preferably the point source of lights such as LED.In this case, at least 1 limit in 4 limits of the rectangle first type surface that consists of resin plate 11 is arranged with a plurality of point source of lights.
The invention is not restricted to embodiment described above, can suitably change in the scope that does not break away from its purport.For example, as the reflecting mechanism of LGP 1, also can replace reflecting part 12 is set and overleaf S2 form concaveconvex shape.In addition, for example, in order to adjust bright dipping, also can form concaveconvex shape in the outgoing plane S1 of LGP 1 side.In addition, the various bloomings such as diffusion barrier, prism film, brightness raising film also can be set between LGP 1 and liquid crystal display part 30.
