Embodiment
Fig. 2 summarily shows optical plate of the present invention.As shown in Figure 2, optical plate 210 of the present invention has a light emitting surface 212, a light reflection surface 211 and a light-incident end 213.Light emitting surface 212 adjoins the liquid crystal panel (not shown), and light reflection surface adjoins a reflecting plate (not shown).Light-incident end 213 constitutes one first angle θ with light emitting surface 212 1, and light-incident end 213 constitutes one second angle θ with light reflection surface 211 2The first angle θ 1Be an acute angle, and the second angle θ 2It is an obtuse angle.
Optical plate is that material is made with propylene (acryl) mostly, and generally speaking, the refractive index of optical plate is about 1.5.According to Si Nieer (Snell) law, light produces the critical angle θ of total reflection at the light reflection surface 211 of optical plate nBe about 42.15 degree.Therefore, need only light with the angle incident light reflectings surface greater than 42.15 degree, light just can produce total reflection.
In the present invention, the maximum lighting angle that uses light source is 42 degree.With reference to figure 1, from the light of light source 2 emission after light-incident end 1a enters optical plate 1, with incident angle ψ (=90-) the incident light reflecting surface 1c of 48 degree.Yet as long as the angle of incident light reflecting surface 1c is greater than total reflection angle θ=42.15 degree just can produce total reflection, so the incident angle φ and the angle of total reflection θ of existing light beam nDiffer 5.85 degree.Therefore, in the present invention, light reflection surface 211 and light-incident end 213 suitably constitute 95.85 degree (during 90+90--θ), just can be from the light of light source 20 emissions with the incident angle incident light reflectings surface 211 of approximate 42.15 degree, as shown in Figure 2.In addition, when optical plate of the present invention and existing optical plate have same thickness, the light-incident end area of optical plate of the present invention is bigger than the light-incident end area of existing optical plate, optical plate of the present invention also produces total reflection for the light beam from light source simultaneously, can increase the brightness of LCD.
Fig. 3 summarily shows the LCD of using optical plate of the present invention.As shown in Figure 3, a LCD 200 comprises a liquid crystal panel 250, an optical plate 210, a reflecting plate 220 and a light source 20.One scattering device (diffusingmeans) 240 is set between liquid crystal panel 250 and optical plate 210.Optical plate 210 has a light emitting surface 211, a light reflection surface 212 and a light-incident end 213.Light emitting surface 211 adjoins liquid crystal panel 250, and light reflection surface 212 adjoins reflecting plate 220, and light emitting end face 213 is in the face of light source 20.Light emitting surface 211 and light-incident end 213 constitute the first angle θ of an acute angle 1, and the second angle θ at light reflection surface 212 and light-incident end 213 formations one obtuse angle 2In addition, reflecting plate 220 can enter the light reflection by this light reflection surface 211 in this optical plate 210.
Because the light-incident end area of optical plate of the present invention is bigger than the light-incident end area of existing optical plate, so more light that sends from light source 20 can enter in the optical plate of the present invention.Then, the light that enters optical plate 210 is by optical plate 210, reflecting plate 220 and scattering device 240 irradiating liquid crystal panel 250 equably.At last, send brighter light from liquid crystal panel 250.
In the present invention, above-mentioned scattering device 240 is arranged on the optical plate 210, wherein can comprise a diffusion sheet (diffusing sheet) 241, one prismatic lens (prism sheet) 242 and one protective film (protecting film) 243 successively.Protective film 243 adjoins setting with one second plane 212 of optical plate 210, and diffusion sheet 241 adjoins setting with liquid crystal panel 250.Liquid crystal panel 250 is arranged on the scattering device 240, to form a LCD 200.
Though the present invention by a preferred embodiment openly as above; but it is not in order to limit the present invention; those skilled in the art are under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention; can do various changes and retouching to it, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion with the scope that claims were defined.
