Description

The cutting processing turning tool that planar light source device uses light conductor and manufacture method and this method thereof to use
Technical field
The present invention relates to adopt light conductor and the manufacturing thereof used in the planar light source device of end face irradiation mode.In particular, the present invention relates to form the planar light source device that has characteristics in the cut with the opposed light conductor light-incident end of primary source with the manufacture method of light conductor with and cut in the lathe tool that uses.In addition, the present invention also is particularly related to the light conductor that uses in the planar light source device of the obvious degree of seeking to reduce optical defectives such as brightness disproportionation.
Use the planar light source device of light conductor of the present invention for example to be suitable as monitor as portable notebook computer etc., the backlight of the liquid crystal indicator of the display part of liquid crystal TV set and the one-piece type liquid crystal TV set of video etc., the perhaps backlight of the more small-sized liquid crystal indicator that uses as the indicator of the display panel of portable electronic devices such as pocket telephone and various device, the perhaps backlight of the liquid crystal indicator that uses as show the way display board and the billboard of station and communal facility etc., perhaps as the labelling apparatus of the traffic mark of highway and ordinary highway use the backlight of liquid crystal indicator.
Background technology
In recent years, liquid crystal indicator uses as the monitor of portable notebook computer etc. or the display part of liquid crystal TV set, the one-piece type liquid crystal TV set of video, pocket telephone and portable data assistance etc., even is widely used in other various fields.In addition, along with the variation of the increase of information processing capacity, demand and to multimedia should equity, the giant-screenization of liquid crystal indicator, high-definition just constantly develop.
Liquid crystal indicator is made up of backlight unit and liquid crystal display cells portion basically.As backlight unit,, often use the backlight unit of end face irradiation mode from the viewpoint of the densification of liquid crystal indicator.In general, adopt in the liquid crystal indicator of this mode, tabular light conductor is configured in the rear side of liquid crystal display cells portion, at this moment, make an interarea (light-emitting face) of this light conductor opposed with the back side of liquid crystal display cells, also dispose wire or bar-shaped primary sources such as straight pipe type fluorescent lamp, make at least 1 side end face (light-incident end) of itself and light conductor opposed.Make the light that sends from primary source import light conductor inside with this, penetrate from light-emitting face from the light-incident end of light conductor.
As the light conductor of the planar light source device of end face irradiation mode, adopt translucent synthetic resins such as utilizing acrylic resin to form tabular light conductor by forming methods such as injection mo(u)ldings.But, on the blank by the acquisition of forming methods such as injection mo(u)lding, have sprue and cross gate in its end, therefore, after processing and forming, in order to make the light conductor of required size and dimension, with these not part excisions.
Yet, in the light conductor of above-mentioned end face irradiation mode planar light source device, penetrate from primary source, inject the light-incident end of light conductor, the distribution of light in this light conductor that is imported in the light conductor produces very big influence to the emergent light distribution that comes from light-emitting face.The distribution of the light in the light conductor also is subjected to the influence of the proterties of light-incident end.Therefore, in order to obtain, after the above-mentioned part of not wanting of excision, carried out building up by welding processing to remove gate cutting vestige etc. at the high as far as possible light-incident end of whole light conductor proterties homogeneity in the past.
The device that the processing of this building up by welding is to use spy for example to open record in the 2001-260075 communique (patent documentation 1) is finished.In this head face cutting device, the diamond bit that will have greater than the width of the size of the thickness of the processed end face portion of light conductor is fixed on the knife rest, this knife rest is being moved on the processed end face of light conductor and both directions of interarea, according to desired approach, carry out cut repeatedly.Like this, can be processed into the end face that the homogeneity of surface texture is improved at short notice.
But, in recent years, the requirement of the optical property of backlight is improved gradually, particularly require to have the high brightness homogeneity in effective light-emitting zone of the backlight corresponding with effective viewing area of liquid crystal display cells.In addition, if the local extremely low or high zone of brightness that takes place then will especially obviously be found out easily, so the locality of preferably doing one's utmost to suppress so low/generation of high-brightness region.
As this part the object lesson of the reason of low/high-brightness region taking place, can enumerate the situation that is imported into the skewness of the light in the light conductor from primary source by light-incident end.As this locality low/1 form of high-brightness region, can enumerate the oolemma (bright line) and the blanking bar (concealed wire) that in relatively near the zone of primary source, manifest along light-incident end.
Again, in the planar light source device of end face irradiation mode, the peak value (peak light) of the distribution of the light that penetrates from the light-emitting face of light conductor forms for example less angles of 10~40 degree (promptly the normal direction with respect to light-emitting face forms for example bigger angles of 50~80 degree) with respect to this light-emitting face usually, for the distribution peak value that makes such light conductor emergent light direction, usually prismatic lens is configured on the light conductor light-emitting face near the light-emitting face normal.Yet, import by light-incident end under the big situation of light skewness in the light conductor from primary source, from prismatic lens the ratio of the skew ray of light conductor exit facet normal wide-angle tilt ejaculation can not be ignored sometimes by the deflecting action ground of the light direct of travel that described prismatic lens causes.
Above such oolemma, blanking bar and skew ray problem takes place, along with the slimming of light conductor (for example 2~3mm) development and remarkable day by day.
Again, in recent years, require liquid crystal indicator to increase the ratio of display frame size and its physical dimension as far as possible, improve display efficiency.Therefore, even planar light source device, also requirement increases the ratio of the physical dimension of light-emitting area size and planar light source device as far as possible, promptly reduces the size of the structure division (being sometimes referred to as " picture frame ") that exists as frame around light-emitting area as far as possible.
On the other hand, planar light source device also is required slimming, in order to tackle this requirement, must make the light conductor slimming.In the planar light source device of end face irradiation mode, inject the light of the light-incident end of light conductor from primary source, its part with respect to light-emitting face or the back side with the incident angle incident more than the cirtical angle of total reflection, by inside surface total reflection leaded light, a part is injected light-emitting face with the angle less than the cirtical angle of total reflection in addition, and its part penetrates from light-emitting face.Slimming (for example about thickness 0.5mm~3mm) along with light conductor, the light that sends from primary source is under the situation that the light-incident end near zone of the light-emitting face of light conductor penetrates, along with the variation of the distance of leaving light-incident end, periodically manifest hi-lite (bright line or oolemma) and low-light level part (concealed wire or blanking bar).Though under the big situation of picture frame width, in fact this phenomenon does not become problem especially, if adopt the planar light source device of little picture frame width as described above, the problem that then exists this influence to cause brightness disproportionation to be found out easily.
Near the generation of the brightness disproportionation such light-incident end results from from the skewness of primary source by the light in the light conductor light-incident end importing light conductor.The form that one of reason of this light skewness is the light conductor light-incident end how.Therefore, in for example TOHKEMY 2000-214334 communique (patent documentation 2), disclosed as preventing to produce the method that brightness disproportionation as described above is used, just make the angle of light-incident end and light-emitting face form for example following obtuse angle of 93 degree, the interarea of opposition side that makes the light-emitting face of light-incident end and light conductor is that the angle at the back side for example forms 89.4233 and spends.In addition, the angle that has disclosed the angle that makes light-incident end and light-emitting face and the light-incident end and the back side in for example TOHKEMY 10-319339 communique (patent documentation 3) is identical, and its angle is that for example 80 degree are above and less than the situations of 90 degree.In addition, for example Japanese kokai publication hei 7-198956 communique (patent documentation 4) has disclosed the means that the light that prevents primary source is mirrored, promptly the light-incident end near zone at the conductor body back side forms reverse inclination portion, and making it be inclined to light conductor thickness increases away from light-incident end.
In addition, near the generation of the brightness disproportionation the light-incident end as described above is also relevant with the proterties of light-incident end.Therefore, disclosed in for example Japanese kokai publication hei 9-160035 communique (No. 3253001 communique of patent) (patent documentation 5) as preventing the method that brightness irregularities as described above is used, the arithmetic average roughness Ra that is about to the direction parallel with light-emitting face of light-incident end is set at the method for 0.05~0.3 μ m.In addition, the arithmetic average roughness Ra that has disclosed light-incident end in for example TOHKEMY 2001-83512 communique (patent documentation 6) is set at 0.05~0.3 μ m, and makes the method for the degree of roughness of the direction parallel with light-emitting face greater than the degree of roughness of light conductor thickness direction.In addition, the maximum height Ry that has disclosed light-incident end in for example TOHKEMY 2002-324424 communique (patent documentation 7) is set at 3~5 μ m, average roughness Ra is set in more than 0.3 or 0.3, below 0.6 or 0.6, for this reason, light-incident end is made the method for the face of for example dark glassy surface formation.Also have, having disclosed in for example TOHKEMY 2000-306410 communique (patent documentation 8) and having formed the drift angle that forms along the direction parallel with light-emitting face at light-incident end is the method for the prism of 160~175 degree.

Add man-hour in the rough cut of carrying out light conductor end face 2c, according to instruction from control part 20, shown in Fig. 4 (a), cutter supporting location switch means 10b switches to the 1st position (1) that smart relatively cutting tool 12 marches forward on the Y direction (promptly near light conductor 2) with rough cut cutter 14 with respect to the position of knife rest 10.In this state, according to instruction from control part 20, servomotor 8b just changes repeatedly, reverses in desired timing, like this, utilize to carry travel mechanism to make the rough cut cutter 14 on the knife rest 10 come and go and move with desired stroke (greater than the distance of the directions X size of light conductor end face 2c) along directions X.According to instruction, make servomotor 4a and servomotor 8b synchronously simultaneously, just change repeatedly, reverse, utilize incision travel mechanism that the rough cut cutter 14 on the knife rest 10 is moved along the Y direction is round like this in desired timing from control part 20.Particularly, among Fig. 1, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, rough cut cutter 14 carries out rough cut processing when mobile from right to left along directions X, when the left end of directions X stroke reverses, only make rough cut cutter 14 retreat (promptly away from light conductor) slightly along the Y direction, when the right-hand member of directions X stroke reverses, make rough cut cutter 14 add the distance of the above-mentioned amount of retreating along the Y direction desired approach (for example about 10~30 μ m) of only advancing.Wish the rough cut of number of times (for example 5~30 times) like this.
When rough cut processing carries out the transition to smart cut, at first according to instruction from control part 20, shown in Fig. 4 (b), cutter supporting location switch means 10b with rough cut cutter 14 with respect to cutter 10 the position switch to the 2nd position (2) that smart relatively cutting tool 12 retreats on the Y direction.Then, under this state, according to the instruction from control part 20, servomotor 4a just changes, and like this, shown in Fig. 4 (c), utilizes incision travel mechanism that the rough cut cutter 14 on the knife rest 10 is advanced along the Y direction.Make the distance of poor (this value is known, for example 100 μ m) of the front position of this advance front position that on the Y direction, only is slightly smaller than the 1st locational rough cut cutter 14 and smart cutting tool 12.Finish the preparation of finishing cut with this.
When carrying out the smart cut of light conductor end face 2c, according to instruction from control part 20, servomotor 8b just changes repeatedly and reverses in desired timing, utilizes like this and carries travel mechanism to make the smart cutting tool 12 on the knife rest 10 come and go and move with desired stroke (greater than the distance of the size of the directions X of light conductor end face 2c) along directions X.Simultaneously,, make servomotor 4a and servomotor 8b synchronous, just change repeatedly and reverse, utilize incision travel mechanism that smart cutting tool 12 on the knife rest 10 is come and gone along the Y direction like this and move in desired timing according to instruction from control part 20.Particularly, among Fig. 1, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, smart cutting tool 12 carries out smart cut when mobile from right to left along directions X, when the left end counter-rotating of directions X stroke, smart cutting tool 12 is retreated slightly along the Y direction, when the counter-rotating of the right-hand member of directions X stroke, make cutting tool 12 add the distance of the above-mentioned amount of retreating along the Y direction desired approach (for example about 2~20 μ m) of only advancing.Wish the smart cut of number of times (for example about 2~20 times) like this.In the terminal stage of smart cut, preferably carry out for several times approach almost being set at the cut of 0 μ m.Adopt this method, can obtain cut face stable and the good proterties that individual deviation is little.
When carrying out this essence cut, the conveying translational speed of the directions X of knife rest 10 can be set in the certain speed in 50~2000mm/sec scope for example, in addition, also can when each cutting, the conveying translational speed of the directions X of knife rest 10 for example changed in 50~2000mm/sec scope.
Yet, not in this example, as shown in Figure 5, as its relief angle of diamond bit D1 of cutting tool 12 be 3 degree or above 4.5 degree or below, anterior angle D2 be 3 degree or above 8 spend or below, the radius of curvature R of front end is at 1.5 μ m or above 6 μ m or following.If relief angle D1 oolemma then occurs easily less than 3 degree, if relief angle D1 blanking bar then occurs easily greater than 4.5 degree.In addition, if anterior angle D2 is less than 3 degree, then easily because of cutting produces burr, if anterior angle D2 then is easy to generate skew ray greater than 8 degree.In addition, if the radius of curvature R of front end is less than 1.5 μ m, then the face of tool mirror-polishing is easy to generate blanking bar, if the radius of curvature R of front end is greater than 6 μ m, the resistance when then cutting is big, and the face of tool is coarse, is easy to generate oolemma.
Adopt the light conductor that obtains in the above described manner, can form the planar light source device of end face irradiation mode shown in Figure 6.Promptly the wire primary source 101 of configuration band reverberator 102 makes itself and light conductor end face (light-incident end) 2c opposed, and configuration light-reflecting sheet 105 makes itself and light conductor interarea (light-emitting face) 2b opposed, disposes prismatic lens 104 on light conductor light-emitting face 2a.Also have, an interarea of light conductor is that light-emitting face 2a adopts the uneven surface with directionality light outgoing function, and upwardly extending a plurality of prism row are formed at another interarea (back side) 2b in parallel to each other in the side vertical with light-incident end 2c.In addition, a plurality of prisms row that extending on the directions X abreast with primary source 101 be formed in parallel to each other with prismatic lens 104 with the opposed lower surface of light conductor light-emitting face 2a (incidence surface) 104a on.

Light deflection element 24 is configured on the light-emitting face 233 of light conductor 23.2 interareas 241,242 of light deflection element 24 are arranged parallel to each other as a whole, are in as a whole respectively on the position parallel with the XY face.As incidence surface 241, another is as exiting surface 242 with one in the interarea 241,242 (being positioned at the interarea of light-emitting face 233 1 sides of light conductor 23).Exiting surface 242 forms the tabular surface parallel with the light-emitting face 233 of light conductor 23.Incidence surface 241 adopts a plurality of prism row formation faces that upwardly extending prism row are arranged parallel to each other in Y side.Prism row formation face also can be provided with the less base plane portion of width (with the measure-alike degree of directions X of for example prism row or less than the planar portions of the width of this size) between the prism of adjacency row, but, base plane portion ground preferably is not set disposes the prism row continuously along directions X from improving this point of utilization rate of light.
Figure 12 is the synoptic diagram of state that the light deflection of light deflection element 24 is shown.This illustrates an example from the working direction of the peak light of the light conductor in the XZ face 23 (with the corresponding light of the photodistributed peak value of outgoing).Inject the 1st prism facets that prism is listed as from the light-emitting face 233 of light conductor 23 with the peak light that angle a tilts to penetrate, by the 2nd prism facets inside surface total reflection, roughly the normal direction along exiting surface 242 penetrates.In addition, in the YZ face, utilize the effect of the prism row on above-mentioned light conductor surface 234, can in zone on a large scale, seek fully to improve the brightness of the normal direction of exiting surface 242.
As a reference, Figure 13 be illustrate the light conductor light-emitting face particularly from the synoptic diagram of the state of the light outgoing of light-incident end near zone.In addition, as a reference, Figure 14 be illustrate planar light source device the light deflection element exiting surface particularly from the synoptic diagram of the state of the light outgoing of light conductor light-incident end near zone.As Figure 13 and shown in Figure 14, in the zone of the central portion of light conductor light-emitting face 233 (near the zone beyond the light-incident end), as shown in figure 13, the relative light-emitting face 233 angulation α of the peak light of the light of injecting from light-incident end 231 penetrate, light deflection element 24 is injected from a prism facets, reflected by inside surface in another prism facets, penetrate along the exiting surface normal direction.Corresponding, light-incident end near zone at light conductor light-emitting face 233, the relative light-emitting face 233 angulation β of peak light penetrate, inject from a prism facets facing to light deflection element 24, receive or do not receive the inside surface reflection in another prism facets of light deflection element 24 corresponding to the size of angle beta, exiting surface angulation γ penetrates relatively.
Above-mentioned angle beta is subjected to the form of the light-incident end 231 of light conductor, the angle θ 1 that for example forms with light-emitting face 233 and the back side 234 respectively, the influence of θ 2, also be subjected to the influence of surface texture, particularly be subjected to average slope angle θ a and the influence respectively of the pitch angle number of degrees in the XZ face.
If angle θ 1, θ 2 are excessive, then angle beta is less than angle [alpha], and little from this regional outgoing light quantity, therefore, this regional brightness is too low, thus the easy step-down of luminance uniformity.If angle θ 1, θ 2 are too small, then angle beta is greater than angle [alpha], and big from this regional emergent light quantitative change, therefore, this regional brightness excessively increases, thus the easy step-down of luminance uniformity.If angle beta is greater than angle [alpha], the light that light deflection element 24 then occurs injecting is not subjected to the inside surface reflection of prism facets and the component that only is subjected to penetrating behind the refraction action.If this component is too much, near the oblique unusual light outgoing the then above-mentioned light-incident end is obvious.
Also have, if average slope angle θ a is too small, then angle beta is less than angle [alpha], and little from this regional emergent light quantitative change, therefore, this regional brightness is too low, thereby luminance uniformity is low easily.If average slope angle θ a is excessive, then angle beta is greater than angle [alpha], and big from this regional emergent light quantitative change, therefore, this regional brightness too increases, thereby luminance uniformity is low easily.If angle beta is greater than angle [alpha], the light that light deflection element 24 then occurs injecting is not subjected to the inside surface reflection of prism facets and the component that only is subjected to penetrating behind the refraction action.If this component is too much, near the oblique unusual light outgoing the then above-mentioned light-incident end is obvious.
Again, if 20 ° at pitch angle and above component thereof during the number of degrees at pitch angle distribute exist ratio excessive, the light of then injecting light deflection element 24 is not subjected to the inside surface reflection of prism facets and the component that only is subjected to penetrating behind the refraction action is too much, and the oblique unusual light outgoing of above-mentioned light-incident end near zone is obvious.
Therefore, the present invention is in order to realize being equal to central portion or near the light outgoing state of central portion at the light-incident end near zone, the scope that has ratio of 20 ° at pitch angle during the number of degrees at the scope of the scope of angle θ 1, θ 2, average slope angle θ a and even pitch angle are distributed and above component thereof is set in above-mentioned particular range, thereby keeps brightness uniformity and suppress the generation of the oblique unusual light outgoing of light-incident end near zone.
Accurately make desirable prism shape in the light deflection element 24 in order to be implemented in, obtain stable optical property, the wearing and tearing at prism top and the purpose of distortion when using when suppressing assembly operation simultaneously and as light supply apparatus also can form top plan portion or top curve surface portion at the top of prism row.At this moment, the width setup of top plan portion or top curve surface portion is at 3 μ m or following, but the viewpoint of the generation of low as the brightness of light supply apparatus brightness disproportionation pattern that adherent phenomenon cause in from inhibition, the width of top plan portion or top curve surface portion is at 2 μ m or following preferable, at 1 μ m or with next better.
