Description

Illuminating source and luminescent source array
Technical field
The present invention relates to illuminating source and luminescent source array, particularly utilized the illuminating source and the luminescent source array of LED (light-emitting diode) chip.The invention still further relates to the lighting device that utilized luminescent source array and liquid crystal indicator etc.
Background technology
As large tracts of land and the high illuminating source of light utilization ratio, patent documentation 1 disclosed illuminating source is arranged.Fig. 1 is the profile of the part of the such illuminating source 11 of expression.Illuminating source 11 disposes white or monochromatic light-emitting component 13 on the inside central portion of the mould portion 14 that is made of transparent resin, be the concentric circles figure that forms in the inside of mould portion 14 with the metallic film evaporation of Al or Au, Ag etc., thus formation reflection part 12.Fig. 2 removes the front view that light-emitting component 13 and reflection part 12 are shown after the mould portion 14 from illuminating source 11.Reflection part 12 is a concentric circles, by a plurality of wheel belt shape reflector space 12a, the 12b that are configured to concentric circles ... constitute.
But as shown in Figure 1, in this illuminating source 11, the light L1 of the central portion in the front of inciding mould portion 14 from the light that light-emitting component 13 sends (below, be called direct outgoing zone) 15a sees through direct outgoing zone 15a and injects to face side.And the light L2 of the zone except that the 15a of direct outgoing zone (below, be called the total reflection zone) 15b that incides the front of mould portion 14 is by after the 15b total reflection of total reflection zone, and parts 12 reflections that are reflected see through total reflection zone 15b again and penetrate to the front.Therefore, in such illuminating source 11, about equally by the width of the width A of the light L2 of 1 reflector space (for example 12c) reflection and reflector space (for example being 12c).
In the backlight that colour liquid crystal display device is used, to compare during with the white light source that utilizes White LED etc. when utilizing the polychromatic source of red LED, green LED, blue led etc., the trichromatic colour developing of colour liquid crystal display device is better, has good color reprodubility.But, in illuminating source 11 as above-mentioned structure, when the central part at reflection part 12 disposes the light-emitting component of 3 kinds of illuminant colours of red, green, blue for example and when constituting white light source, exists the light of each color to separate, produces the problem of unevenness of tint in illuminating source 11.The following describes its reason.Fig. 3 shows in illuminating source 11, therein the state of each color of light when light-emitting component 13R, the 13G of 3 kinds of illuminant colours of heart portion configuration red, green, blue, 13B.For example, in Fig. 3, represent red light with LR, represent green light with LG, represent blue light, represent irradiation area with illuminating source 11 red light LR separated by a distance with AR with LB, represent the irradiation area of green light LG with AG, represent the irradiation area of blue light LB with AB.
Under the situation of this illuminating source 11, because a little ground, the position of each light- emitting component 13R, 13G, 13B staggers, so after the 15b reflection of total reflection zone, the exit direction of the light that the regional 12c that is reflected reflects is different according to the color of light, so irradiation area AR, AG, the AB of each color also stagger mutually.So, the light of each color overlap and the zone that becomes white light for beating the zone of oblique line among Fig. 3.As shown in Figure 3, the white light zone of beating oblique line is narrower than reflector space 12c, and in the zone in its outside, emergent light has color, has produced unevenness of tint.
If solve such problem, can with each reflector space 12a, 12b ... cut apart forr a short time, come the cross sectional shape in design reflectivity zone according to the light of each color.For example, in illuminating source shown in Figure 4 16, again reflector space 12c is divided into 3 reflector space 19a, 19b, 19c, in reflector space 19a, reflector space 19a is designed to blue light LB penetrates, in reflector space 19b, reflector space 19b is designed to green light LG penetrates to frontal to frontal, in reflector space 19c, reflector space 19c is designed to red light LR penetrates to frontal.
In the illuminating source 16 of like this design, the light of each color overlap and the zone that becomes white light as shown in Figure 4 and the integral body (that is reflector space 12c) of reflector space 19a, 19b, 19c roughly the same.
From the example of Fig. 4, also can learn, even under the situation of the light-emitting component that adopts polychrome, if increase light source reflection part cut apart number, can reduce the unevenness of tint of illuminating source, improve the uniformity of color.And, in the light-emitting component of monochrome or polychrome, if increase the number of cutting apart of reflection part, can set the direction of advance of light meticulously, therefore improved the degree of freedom of light path design, the exit direction that can regulate light more meticulously, and the uniformity of raising light intensity.
Therefore, consideration with as shown in Figure 5 reflection part 12 cut apart that number (quantity of reflector space) is 3, reflection part 12 that the pitch interval P (width on the radial direction of reflector space) of reflector space 12a, 12b, 12c be 6mm is as basic, each reflector space is divided into again 3 parts reflection part.Such reflection part shown in Figure 6.In the reflection part shown in Fig. 6 12, reflection part 12 to cut apart number be 9, the pitch interval P of reflector space 17a, 17b, 17c, 18a, 18b, 18c, 19a, 19b, 19c is 2mm.Thus, although can improve the color uniformity of illuminating source when utilizing the such reflection part 12 of Fig. 6, because of along with cutting apart several increases, the pitch interval of reflector space narrows down, and the difficulty so the making of reflection part becomes has increased cost.That is, if the number of cutting apart of reflection part 12 becomes big, then existence can not get the performance raising of illuminating source and the problem of the balance between the cost.
And, because light- emitting component 13R, 13G, 13B be by two-dimensional arrangement, thus direction according to the observation, light-emitting component 13R, the 13G of each color, 13B and reflector space 12a, 12b ... between distance be different.Therefore, each reflector space 12a, 12b ... with 1 be the center, have in the reflection part 12 of concentric circles of same distance in a circumferential direction, can't obtain overlapping (colour mixture) of same degree at circumferencial direction on the whole.Be specifically described with reference to Fig. 4, when beginning to be aligned in sequence with red light-emitting component 13R, green light-emitting component 13G, blue light-emitting component 13B from left side head-on, in its left side, from interior all sides begin to be arranged in order the reflector space 19a that vertically penetrates red light, vertically penetrate the reflector space 19b of green light, vertically penetrate the reflector space 19c of blue light.On the contrary, on light-emitting component 13R, 13G, 13B right side, must begin to be arranged in order for the reflector space 19c that vertically penetrates blue light, vertically penetrate the reflector space 19b of green light, vertically penetrate the reflector space 19a of red light from interior all sides.Such configuration can't be realized by the reflector space of wheel belt shape.

Directly be provided with the ditch 25 that is circular between outgoing zone 29 and the total reflection zone 30, the plane by in the form of a ring on the bottom surface of ditch 25 is formed with total reflection zone 31.And, on the inner circumferential side side of ditch 25, forming the inclination total reflection zone 32 of inclination, inclination total reflection zone 32 is to form the round table-like of tapering the closer to the more little mode of the front face side diameter of mould portion 22.Though total reflection zone 31 and inclination total reflection zone 32 also are the effects that has the light total reflection of the incident of making on literal sense, the part in the light of institute's incident also may see through inclination total reflection zone 32 and penetrate to the outside.
As shown in Figure 9, the back side bending of mould portion 22, this back side is provided with and is used to reflect by the specular reflection part 26 of the concave surface of the light of the front total reflection of mould portion 22.Reflection part 26 can be the metal tunicle of Au, the Ag of evaporation on the back side of mould portion 22 (picture surface), Al etc., it can be the whitewash that is coated on the back side of mould portion 22, can be mirror finish is carried out on the surface and to have improved the metallic plate of the aluminium etc. of surface reflectivity, can be the curved slab of the surface having been implemented the electroplated metal of Au, Ag, Al etc. or resin etc., can also be the curved slab that has been coated with whitewash from the teeth outwards.
As shown in figure 10, from the light exit direction, the light reflection surface of reflection part 26 forms the mosaic shape by a plurality of reflector spaces of arranging along at least 2 directions.Be provided with the reflector space 36 of wheel belt shape in the around openings of the central portion that is positioned at reflection part 26, in the peripheral region of reflector space 36, reflection part 26 is split into many rows, multiple row, thereby is divided into reflector space 28i, 28j, the 28k of checkerboard.These reflector spaces 28i, 28j, 28k ... constituted the reflecting surface of concentric circles.And, reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... Deng light reflection surface be minute surface, but the light reflection surface of reflector space 36 also can make some matsurfaces, makes the light diffusion.
And as shown in Figure 9, at the back side of mould portion 22 central portion, reflection part 26 forms opening.In the opening of reflection part 26, formed the recess 27a of semi-spherical shape at the back side of mould portion 22 central portion, the outstanding protuberance 27b that ring-type is set around recess 27a.
In assembling during this illuminating source 21, as shown in figure 11, on the surface of wiring substrate 23, install have redness, light-emitting component 24R, 24G, the 24B of 3 led chips of green, blue illuminant colour etc., fixed support 34 on the surface of wiring substrate 23 again.Next, in the recess 27a at mould portion 22 back sides, fill transparent resins 35 such as thermosetting resin or uv-hardening resin, support these mould portions 22 (holding state of the mould portion 22 that realizes by support 34 shown in Figure 8) by being fixed on support 34 on the wiring substrate 23.Then, by making transparent resin 35 sclerosis, utilize transparent resin 35 that mould portion 22 and wiring substrate 23 joints are one.And light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B are sealed in the transparent resin 35 in the position of more being partial to optical axis side the place ahead than the hemispherical center that forms recess 27a.
In addition, transparent resin 35 can be the material identical materials with mould portion 22, also can be different materials.And, electronic circuit of the light quantity that is used to regulate light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B etc. also can be installed in the space between wiring substrate 23 and the mould portion 22 (spaces in transparent resin 35 outsides).
Above-mentioned illuminating source 21 is of a size of, and the profile during for example from top view is long 30mm, and wide 30mm, the thickness during transverse observation are 5mm, compare thin thickness with profile.And the recess 27a at mould portion 22 back sides forms the semi-spherical shape of radius 3.90mm.But recess 27a is 1/2 slightly littler than ball, and the radius of the opening portion of recess 27a is 3.25mm.And numerical value described here is an example, and these sizes suitably are designed to optimum value according to the efficient of light-emitting component or desired light quantity etc.
Figure 12 is the profile of the state of the structure of expression illuminating source 21 of the present invention and the light that sends from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B, shows the section on the angular direction.And among the figure, light illustrates with the arrow of fine rule.For reflector space, begin to be followed successively by reflector space 28s, reflector space 28t, reflector space 28u, reflector space 28v from a side near reflector space 36.Make light-emitting component 24R, the 24G of red, green, blue 3 looks of the central part that is configured in illuminating source 21, when 24B is luminous, the light that sends from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B, incide on the direct outgoing zone 29 with the light of the angle of emergence θ 1 littler (<θ c) outgoing than the cirtical angle of total reflection θ c on the interface of mould portion 22, the direct outgoing of this light transmission zone 29 and directly forwards penetrating from illuminating source 21.In addition, the light that penetrates with the angle of emergence θ 3 bigger than cirtical angle of total reflection θ c (>θ c) incides on the total reflection zone 31, and this light is incided on the reflector space 28s thus by total reflection zone 31 total reflections, after the regional 28s reflection that is reflected, see through total reflection zone 30 and ejaculation forwards.And as shown in figure 12, when slightly inclination being arranged in total reflection zone 31, angle of emergence θ 3 also can be slightly littler than cirtical angle of total reflection θ c.In addition, the light that penetrates with the angle of emergence θ 4 bigger than cirtical angle of total reflection θ c (>θ 3) incides on the total reflection zone 30, and this light is incided reflector space 28t thus by total reflection zone 30 total reflections, after the regional 28t reflection that is reflected, see through total reflection zone 30 and ejaculation forwards.And, the light that penetrates with the angle of emergence θ 5 also bigger than angle of emergence θ 4 (>θ 4) or the angles of emergence bigger than θ 5 is by total reflection zone 30 total reflections, incide thus on reflector space 28u or the reflector space 28v, after regional 28u, the 28v reflection that is reflected, see through total reflection zone 30 and forwards penetrate.And, to incide on the inclination total reflection zone 32 to the angle of emergence θ 1 in direct outgoing zone 29 and the light that sends from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B to the angle of emergence θ 2 between the angle of emergence θ 3 in total reflection zone 31 (θ 1<θ 2<θ 3), after being tilted total reflection zone 32 and directly 2 total reflections are carried out in outgoing zone 29, incide on the reflector space 36.Be reflected regional 36 light that reflect towards the reflection of the bight of illuminating source 21, by total reflection zone 30 and reflector space 28v reflection, forwards penetrate from the bight thus again.
And, in this embodiment 1 because with the mosaic shape arrange square or rectangular reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... constituted reflection part 26, so can improve the color uniformity in the illuminating source 21.Particularly with white light source when the illuminating source 21, can reduce unevenness of tint and part is painted.Below this point is described in detail.
Figure 13 is the front view that schematically shows reflection part 26.Central portion at reflection part 26 is provided with opening, and light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B are configured in the opening.The light reflection surface of reflection part 26 is split into many rows, multiple row, be arranged with to checkerboard reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ...In Figure 13, for the purpose of simplifying the description, it is less that the reflection part that illustrates is cut apart number, and reflection part 26 is divided into 5 rows, 5 row.Therefore, reflection part 26 remove have 24 reflector space 28i, 28j behind the opening portion, 28k ... Reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... constituted the reflecting surface of concentric circles.If like this reflection part 26 is formed concentric circles, then can make illuminating source 21 slimming more.And, by according to separate parameter designing each reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ..., can carry out optimal design to each zone, can be luminous more equably.
For each reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... curve form, preferably be designed to from the front of illuminating source 21 the such shape of emergent light equably as far as possible.For example, can make each reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... be respectively the taper seat shown in following (1) formula.
[formula 1]
Z = CVρ 2 1 + 1 - CV 2 ( CC + 1 ) ρ 2 + A + aρ 4 + b ρ 6 + cρ 8 + dρ 10 + . . . . . . - - - ( 1 )
Wherein, ρ = X 2 + Y 2
Here, X, Y, Z are to be the vertical coordinate of initial point with the center on the reflection part 26, and the optical axis of Z axle and reflection part 26 and the central shaft of mould portion 22 are consistent.ρ looks observed distance from initial point (radius) in the projection of XY plane (promptly to) in the front.And, CV be reflection part 26 or reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... curvature (=1/ radius of curvature), CC is the circular cone coefficient, and A is the displacement of the middle mind-set Z-direction of reflection part 26, a, b, c and d be respectively 4 times, 6 times, 8 times, 10 times ... asphericity coefficient.Wherein, the value of these coefficients respectively at each reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... set.
In the accompanying drawing of specification of the present invention, with identical hachure pattern illustrate the characteristic quantity (below, be called the curved surface constant) of the curve form that characterizes reflecting surface, for example above-mentioned curvature CV or circular cone coefficient CC, aspheric constants a, b ... Deng the reflector space that equates.In reflection part shown in Figure 13 26, will be designed to have identical curved surface constant from the equidistant reflector space at its center.And, in the reflection part 26 of Figure 13, suppose reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... pitch interval P be 6mm.
When the reflection part 12 of the reflection part 26 of Figure 13 and conventional example shown in Figure 5 was compared, pitch interval P was 6mm, and the positive size of illuminating source also equates.But in the conventional example of Fig. 5, the number of cutting apart of reflector space is no more than 3, and with respect to this, in the reflection part 26 of Figure 13, it cuts apart number is 24.And, when the reflector space that the curved surface constant is identical (excentric equidistant reflector space) is concentrated in groups, in the conventional example of Fig. 5, be no more than 3 kinds, with respect to this, in the reflection part 26 of Figure 13, be 5 kinds.Like this, according to the illuminating source 21 of present embodiment 1, can set the direction of advance of light more meticulously than conventional example, the degree of freedom of light path design improves, thereby can regulate the exit direction of light more meticulously, can mix the light of each color equably, prevent the painted of illuminating source 21.And, can under the situation that does not change pitch interval P, increase and cut apart number, so, also can not increase difficulty, or increase cost to making even number is cut apart in increase.
And, further with each reflector space 28i, 28j of reflection part 26,28k ... during trisection, each reflector space narrows down as shown in Figure 14.At this moment, reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... pitch interval P be 2mm, reflection part 26 to cut apart number be 216.Reflection part 12 based on Fig. 5, with each reflector space 12a, 12b, 12c trisection and reflector space 17a, the 17b of the reflection part 12 of the Fig. 6 that obtains, 17c, 18a, 18b ... situation under, pitch interval P is 2mm, but reflection part 12 to cut apart number only be 9.Therefore, the pitch interval P of reflector space becomes more little, or the size of illuminating source becomes big more, and the reflection part 26 of embodiment 1 is remarkable more with respect to the superiority of the reflection part of the conventional example that is divided into wheel belt shape, also further improved the degree of freedom of light path design or color uniformity etc.
Illuminating source 21 according to embodiment 1, because the light that sends from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B forwards penetrates after reflecting repeatedly between the total reflection zone 30 of mould portion 22 etc. and reflection part 26, so can obtain optical path length in the inside of illuminating source 21, consequently, can make the light intensity homogenizing of sending and forwards penetrating from illuminating source 21 from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B.And, under the situation of utilizing light-emitting component 24R, the 24G of multiple color, 24B, can improve the colour mixture degree of the light that sends from illuminating source 21.
In the illuminating source 21 of embodiment 1, can than in the past more meticulously to each reflector space 28i, 28j of reflection part 26,28k ... cut apart, so the light path design degree of freedom during design illuminating source 21 improves, thereby the exit direction that can regulate light more meticulously.Particularly in the illuminating source 21 of embodiment 1, as mentioned above, (1) can obtain inner optical path length.And, (2) by than cut apart meticulously in the past each reflector space 28i, 28j of obtaining, 28k ..., can design meticulously that light reflects or the direction of outgoing.And, (3) by than cut apart more meticulously in the past each reflector space 28i, 28j of obtaining, 28k ..., can design the diffusion of light meticulously.(1)~(3) result is can improve the uniformity of the light intensity in the illuminating source 21, and under the situation of the light-emitting component that utilizes multiple color, can improve the colour mixture degree.
Figure 15 shows under the situation of the illuminating source of the concentric circles that reflection part 12 is divided into wheel belt shape as Fig. 5 or Fig. 6, to the light distribution on the angular direction, Figure 16 show when as Figure 13 or Figure 14, reflection part 26 being divided into checkerboard to the light distribution on the angular direction.The transverse axis of Figure 15, Figure 16 represent to record from the center of reflection part 26 to the distance on the angular direction, the longitudinal axis is represented the light intensity of position.Relatively Figure 15 and Figure 16 as can be known, in existing mode, light intensity changes with ± 15% amplitude approximately, but under the situation of present embodiment, the intensity variations amplitude is about ± 8%, thereby improved the uniformity of light intensity.
And, in the above-described embodiments, determine the curved surface constant, but the location mode with reflector space of identical curved surface constant is arbitrarily according to distance from the center of reflection part 26.For example, in variation shown in Figure 17 1, determine in reflection part 26 by the distribution in the delta-shaped region (1/8 zone of reflection part 26) of enclosed with dashed lines, and about 2 angular direction and 2 opposite side traverse line symmetrical manner are determined distribution in other zone with it.
In addition, the light distribution of illuminating source 21 becomes evenly, the uniformity of color improves if be designed to, then the reflection part 26 of variation 2 as shown in figure 18 is such, each reflector space 28i, the 28j after cutting apart, 28k ... also can random arrangement, have mutually different curved surface constant.But when each reflector space of random arrangement, big although the degree of freedom of design becomes, it is big that the unevenness of tint of illuminating source 21 can become.That is, illustrated in fig. 4 like that, in order to reduce the unevenness of tint of illuminating source, need consider light-emitting component arrangement order and arrange the reflector space that vertically penetrates each color of light with predefined procedure.On the other hand, because light-emitting component and reflector space are arranged as 2 dimension shapes, even so angular direction or each opposite side direction have been determined reflector space regularly, the light that also can produce same color in the reflector space of adjacency is to zone that frontal vertically penetrates according to each.Therefore, need the accommodation reflex zone, make can not produce such zone.
The method for designing of each reflector space then, is described.At first, utilize Figure 19 curvature CV with above-mentioned (1) formula to be described as the curved surface constant, the method for designing when changing at each reflector space.Here, because will handle as one group in 3 zones of adjacency on to angular direction or the direction parallel, so in Figure 19, only show 3 reflector spaces of its adjacency with the limit.These 3 reflector spaces are made as 28R, 28G, 28B, and its curvature is made as CVr, CVg, CVb respectively.Here, reflector space 28R is the reflector space that is designed to make the red light sent from light-emitting component 24R vertically to penetrate to frontal, reflector space 28G is the reflector space that is designed to make the green light sent from light-emitting component 24G vertically to penetrate to frontal, and reflector space 28B is designed to reflector space that blue light is vertically penetrated to frontal.If as shown in Figure 19, begin to dispose successively red light-emitting component 24R, green luminousing element 24G, blue light emitting device 24B from the left side towards drawing, then in order to reduce the unevenness of tint of light-emitting component 21, in this face, reflector space need be arranged in from the left side beginning that heads on is reflector space 28B, reflector space 28G, the reflector space 28R (with reference to Fig. 4) that red light is penetrated to frontal that green light is penetrated to frontal that blue light is penetrated to frontal successively.And, the regional reflex if will be reflected and the color of the light that vertically penetrates to frontal is called the control look of this reflector space, then reflector space 28R just is called the reflector space of control look for redness, reflector space 28G is called the control look and is green reflector space, and reflector space 28B is called the control look and is blue reflector space.
The curvature CV of taper seat can make the direction of advance by the light of each reflector space reflection change, if reduce curvature CV, then the light by this reflector space reflection tilts laterally, if increase curvature CV, then the light by this reflector space reflection tilts to the inside.Therefore, wait curvature CVr, the CVg of the reflector space 28R, the 28G that design adjacency, 28B, CVb etc., the exit direction that then can regulate the light among each reflector space 28R, 28G, the 28B if consider the position of distance H, each reflector space 28R, 28G, 28B between the surface of the light-emitting face of pitch interval Q, light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B between each light-emitting component 24R, 24G, the 24B and mould portion 22.Therefore, if arrangement according to light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B, determine the priority of control look etc. of the reflector space of adjacency, and consider that these factors design curvature CVr, CVg, CVb etc., then can enlarge the overlapping white light zone (beating the zone of oblique line among Figure 19) of regional AB of regional AG, the blue light LB of regional AR, the green light LG of red light LR, can realize not having the uniform white light of unevenness of tint.For example, in the such structure of Figure 19, make that red light LR vertically penetrates to face side in reflector space 28R, in reflector space 28G, green light LG vertically penetrates to face side, in reflector space 28B, blue light LB vertically penetrates to face side, thus with the curvature CVg of the reflector space 28G of central authorities as benchmark, the curvature CVr of the reflector space 28R of feasible close central side is bigger than CVg, and the curvature CVb of the reflector space 28B that decentre is far away is littler than CVg.
But when determining the curvature of reflector space like that as mentioned above, its curvature changes according to the position of light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B.In fact, because each light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B and nonessential forming a line, so its position and pitch interval Q can change along with direction of observation.For example, shown in Figure 20 (a), in situation about determining to the curved surface constant of reflector space 28R, 28G on the edge direction K1,28B, under situation about determining the curved surface constant of reflector space 28R, 28G on the K2 of angular direction, 28B, the configuration of light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B need be handled as different situations.
For example, consider to be positioned at Figure 20 (a) to reflector space 28R, 28G on the edge direction K1,28B the time, shown in Figure 20 (b), utilization projects to each light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B on the straight line of edge direction K1 and the virtual light-emitting component 32R, 32G, the 32B that obtain, determines the curved surface constant of reflector space 28R, 28G, 28B.Promptly, curved surface constant to the reflector space 28R on the edge direction K1 is defined as vertically penetrating to frontal from the red light that virtual light-emitting component 32R sends, curved surface constant to the reflector space 28G on the edge direction K1 is defined as vertically penetrating to frontal from the green light that virtual light-emitting component 32G sends, and the curved surface constant of the reflector space 28B on the edge direction K1 is set at the blue light that sends from virtual light-emitting component 32B vertically penetrates to frontal.And, consider to be positioned at Figure 20 (a) to reflector space 28R, 28G on the K2 of angular direction, 28B the time, shown in Figure 20 (b), need to utilize each light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B are projected on the straight line of angular direction K2 and the virtual light-emitting component 33G, 33R, the 33B that obtain, determine the curved surface constant of reflector space 28R, 28G, 28B.Promptly, curved surface constant to the reflector space 28R on the K2 of angular direction is defined as vertically penetrating to frontal from the red light that virtual light-emitting component 33R sends, curved surface constant to the reflector space 28G on the K2 of angular direction is defined as vertically penetrating to frontal from the green light that virtual light-emitting component 33G sends, and the curved surface constant of the reflector space 28B on the K2 of angular direction is defined as vertically penetrating to frontal from the blue light that virtual light-emitting component 33B sends.
And, in example shown in Figure 20, because uniformly-spaced configuration projects to virtual light-emitting component 32R, 32G, 32B on the straight line of edge direction K1, and also uniformly-spaced configuration projects to virtual light-emitting component 33G, 33R, 33B on the straight line of angular direction K2, so that the design of each reflector space becomes is easy.
And Figure 21 (a) (b) shows the situation of utilizing 5 light-emitting components.For example under the situation of utilizing red, green, blue light-emitting component, the brightness of these light-emitting components is inequality, therefore sometimes for the brightness of each color of balance equably, makes up each light-emitting component with certain proportion.For example, in Figure 21 (a), because the brightness height of red light-emitting component 24R, so adopt the light-emitting component 24R of 1 redness, and adopt two greens and blue light-emitting component 24G, 24B respectively.
At this moment, on to edge direction K1, shown in Figure 21 (b), can regard both sides as at the virtual light-emitting component 32R of redness, green and blue virtual light-emitting component 32G, 32B repeatedly are configured on the same position mutually, so can determine the control look and the curvature CV of each reflector space with the configuration of such virtual light-emitting component accordingly.On to edge direction K1, designed reflector space 28R accordingly with the virtual light-emitting component 32R of redness, with the reflector space 28GB that the green that being positioned at left side head-on on the edge direction K1 and blue virtual light-emitting component 33G, 33B is designed accordingly in all sides and reflector space 28R adjacency, design reflector space 28GB accordingly in outer circumferential side and reflector space 28R adjacency with virtual light-emitting component 33G, 33B to the green that being positioned at right side head-on on the edge direction K1 and blueness.
And, on to angular direction K2, shown in Figure 21 (b), can regard the centre between the virtual light-emitting component 33B of blueness as, the virtual light-emitting component 33G repeated configuration of the virtual light-emitting component 33R of 1 redness and 2 greens is on same position, so determine control look and curvature CV accordingly with such joining of virtual light-emitting component.For example, design accordingly the reflector space 28RG on the K2 of angular direction with red and green virtual light-emitting component 33R, 33G, with the reflector space 28B that the virtual light-emitting component 24B that is positioned at the upper left side on the K2 of angular direction is designed accordingly in all sides and reflector space 28RG adjacency, with the reflector space 28B that the virtual light-emitting component 24B that is positioned at the lower right side on the K2 of angular direction is designed accordingly in outer circumferential side and reflector space 28RG adjacency.
Equally, on to angular direction K3, shown in Figure 21 (b), can regard the centre between the virtual light-emitting component 33G of green as, the virtual light-emitting component 33B repeated configuration of the virtual light-emitting component 33R of 1 redness and 2 bluenesss is on same position, so determine control look and curvature CV accordingly with the position of such virtual light-emitting component.For example, design accordingly the reflector space 28RB on the K3 of angular direction with red and blue virtual light-emitting component 33R, 33B, with the reflector space 28G that the virtual light-emitting component 33G that is positioned at the lower-left side on the K3 of angular direction is designed accordingly in all sides and reflector space 28RB adjacency, with the reflector space 28G that the virtual light-emitting component 33G that is positioned at the upper right side on the K3 of angular direction is designed accordingly in outer circumferential side and reflector space 28RB adjacency.
Method for designing when changing the circular cone coefficient CC of above-mentioned (1) formula at each reflector space then, is described as the curved surface constant.Circular cone coefficient CC can make the diffusion by the light of this reflector space reflection change, if reduce circular cone coefficient CC, then the diffusion by the light of this reflector space reflection becomes big, if increase circular cone coefficient CC, then the diffusion by the light of this reflector space reflection reduces.Therefore, when design circular cone coefficient CC, can be based on the distance H between the surface of the light-emitting face of light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B and mould portion 22, distance D 1 between reflector space and light-emitting component 24R, 24G, the 24B, D2 etc., determine circular cone coefficient CC, the brightness or the colour mixture degree of the feasible light that penetrates from each zone of illuminating source 21 become even.
Particularly, as shown in figure 22, can and light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B between short reflector space 28R, the 28G of distance D 1,28B in, reduce circular cone coefficient CC, and light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B between long reflector space 128R, the 128G of distance D 2,128B in, increase circular cone coefficient CC.Consequently, in light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B near reflector space 28R, 28G, 28B, the diffusion of emergent light increases, and has wide directive property.In light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B near reflector space 28R, 28G, 28B, optical path length is short though the light quantity that arrives is many, therefore the light of each color is difficult to mix, but can be by reducing the directive property of constant of the cone CC, spread reflection light, in that being disperseed, light suppresses to realize the raising of colour mixture degree in the brightness.With respect to this, in light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B reflector space 128R, 128G far away, 128B, form colour mixture though optical path length is long, and on the other hand, the light quantity that arrives is few, but by increasing circular cone coefficient CC catoptrical directive property is narrowed down, even what can sacrifice the colour mixture degree, also reduce the dispersion of light, improve brightness.Therefore, according to this method for designing, can be in the homogenizing that realizes light intensity on the whole of illuminating source 21, and, can realize the uniformity of color in the colour mixture of the balance on the whole degree of illuminating source 21.But, be not that this method for designing is best, because light intensity and colour mixture degree that purpose is to be designed to be fixed on the shadow surface (target face) in the design in the place ahead of illuminating source reach best, so light intensity on the target face and colour mixture degree are designed to optimal results, the situation that can also have the diffusion from the light of the near reflector space of light-emitting component to narrow down.
On the other hand, along each reflector space 28i, 28j of continuous axle (line) design reflectivity face 26,28k ... the time, carry out ray trace or fine setting easily.Therefore, design reflectivity zone 28i, 28j, 28k ... the time, at first be positioned to the angular direction or to the design of the reflector space on the edge direction.Like this, after determining to be positioned to angular direction K2 or curved surface coefficient CC to the reflector space on the edge direction K1, shown in the solid arrow among Figure 23, to determine the circular cone coefficient CC of each reflector space from the center of light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B reflector space far away more, the big more mode of circular cone coefficient CC.Then, the curved surface constant of the reflector space of design and these reflector space adjacency.At this moment, shown in the dotted arrow among Figure 23, can be so that from edge direction be tended to more to the angular direction, circular cone coefficient CC is big more.
Then, illustrate according to method as above-mentioned principle specific design reflection part 26.Figure 24 (a) is the front view of illuminating source 21 of light-emitting component 24B that respectively disposes light-emitting component 24G, the blue-light-emitting of light-emitting component 24R, the green emitting of 1 emitting red light at central portion (b), and removing its mould portion 22 front view afterwards, Figure 25 is that it is to the profile on the angular direction.From the overall dimension of the top view of this illuminating source 21 is respectively to be 30mm in length and breadth.Respectively reflection part 26 is being cut apart 15 times on the direction in length and breadth, form cancellous reflector space 28a, 28b ..., each reflector space 28a, 28b ... respectively be 2mm longitudinally and laterally.Each light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B are the triangle configuration, and red light-emitting component 24R is arranged on the direction parallel with the upward bottom of reflection part 26 with blue light-emitting component 24B, and is configured in left and right sides head-on, and green light-emitting component 24G disposes its upside.And directly the diameter in outgoing zone 29 is 5mm, and the internal diameter of the bottom surface of ditch 25 (diameter) is 5.5mm, and the top external diameter (diameter) of ditch 25 is 10mm, and ditch 25 degree of depth are 1.8mm.
At first, illustrate determine each reflector space 28a, 28b ... in each the step of control look.At first, determine 4 to angular direction K2, K3, K5, K6 and 4 arrangements to the control look on edge direction K1, K4, K7, the K8.Because the configuration of light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B is identical with configuration shown in Figure 20, therefore as can be known, on to angular direction K2, K6, be arranged with virtual light-emitting component 33G, 33R, 33B from the upper left side to the lower right side by the explanation relevant with Figure 20.Like this, upper left side head-on to angular direction K2 on, from the inboard to the outside, the order of control look is green (G), red (R), blue (B), the lower right side to angular direction K6 on, from the inboard to the outside, the order of control look is blue (B), red (R), green (G).
On to angular direction K3, K5, arrange virtual light-emitting component 33R, 33B, 33G from side direction upper right side, lower-left, therefore the lower-left side that heads on to angular direction K3 on, from the inboard to the outside, the order of control look is red (R), blue (B), green (G), the upper right side to angular direction K5 on, from the inboard to the outside, the order of control look is green (G), blue (B), red (R).
And, in the horizontal direction, be arranged with virtual light-emitting component 32R, 32G, 32B to the right from the left side, therefore the level in the left side of heading on to edge direction K1 on, from the inboard to the outside, the order of control look is red (R), green (G), blue (B), the level on right side to edge direction K4 on, from the inboard to the outside, the order of control look is blue (B), green (G), red (R).
In addition, in vertical direction, the virtual light-emitting component 32B that can regard the virtual light-emitting component 32R of 1 redness and 1 blueness as repeatedly is configured on the same position, the viridescent virtual light-emitting component 32G of configuration with being adjacent, so upside vertical to edge direction K7 on, from the inboard to the outside, the control look is green (G), red and blue (RB), downside vertical to edge direction K8 on, from the inboard to the outside, the control look is red and blue (RB), green (G).The state of having determined the order of the control look on all directions K1~K8 like this shown in Figure 26.
As mentioned above, determine after the order of the control look on all directions K1~K8, as shown in figure 27, at first determine for example control look to each reflector space on the K2 of angular direction of upper left side of a direction.For example, if determined the control look of the reflector space in the upper left corner arbitrarily, then the control look on the K2 of angular direction is determined by unique.
Then, will be to the arrangement of the control look on the K2 of angular direction as starting point, the control form and aspect that do not make the reflector space of adjacency up and down with in, determine to be positioned at the control look of reflector space of the peripheral part of reflection part 26.At this moment, on all directions K1, K3 ~ K8 beyond the K2, do not change the order of the control look of determining like that as mentioned above, and only in the last shift position of all directions K1, K3 ~ K8.Figure 27 illustrates the state of the control look of having determined peripheral part like this.
And, as shown in figure 28, control look based on each reflector space of the control look of each reflector space on direction K1, K2, K4, K5, the K7 and peripheral part, in the zone of the first half of reflection part 26, the control form and aspect that do not make the reflector space of adjacency up and down with in, determine the control look of blank reflector space.
At this moment, under the distribution state of control look shown in Figure 28, in the α part, the green control look left and right sides is adjacent.Under the continuous up and down situation of the control look of such same color, the control look at this place is replaced on trial property ground, and the control look of reflector space that is adjusted to adjacency is inequality.Figure 29 be the α of Figure 28 part and near replace the control look of red, green, blue one by one, make it discontinuous.
Then, as shown in figure 30, determine the control look of the reflector space of the latter half, make that the control look with the reflector space of the first half forms the line symmetry about horizontal direction K1-K4.The control look of the reflector space of the latter half of determining by such line symmetry operation and the sequence consensus of the initial control look of determining.At this moment, no problem when the quantity of the reflector space of vertically arranging is odd number, but when the quantity of the reflector space of vertically arranging is even number, up and down the control form and aspect between the neighbouring reflector space of the along continuous straight runs in the central portion with.Therefore, in this case, need attempt property ground at this place and replace the control look, make the control look of reflector space of adjacency inequality.Therefore, be preferably reflector space and arrange odd number.
In addition, under the situation of not expecting above-mentioned such symmetry operation, similarly determine the control look of the reflector space of the latter half separately with the control look of the reflector space of definite the first half, between the first half and the latter half, under the continuous up and down situation of the control look of same color, also can regulate.Like this reflection part 26 has all been determined after the control look, with regard to the batch operation of finishing control look.
And, according to counting or shape cutting apart of reflector space, no matter how to regulate the distribution of control look sometimes, the control look between the reflector space of adjacency is all identical up and down.Under these circumstances, must preferentially make from the control look of light-emitting component position far away not overlappingly, in the near reflector space of light-emitting component, make identical control look adjacency.As mentioned above,, be difficult to influence the colour mixture of illuminating source 21, so can near light-emitting component, carry out wrinkling processing because be controlled to scattered reflection light from the near reflector space of light-emitting component.
Determine like this after the control look of each reflector space, can be with the constant of each reflector space, particularly curvature CV is designed so that the light of this color vertically penetrates to frontal.But the control look is that the reflector space of red and blue (RB) is meant and is designed on a certain direction, the reflector space that redness of sending from virtual light-emitting component 32R, the 32B that is positioned at redness on the same position and blueness and blue light vertically penetrate to frontal.
Determine like this after the control look of each reflector space, determine the curvature or the shape of each reflector space, its light is penetrated to frontal according to controlling look.Particularly, under the situation that reflector space is made of taper seat, can determine circular cone coefficient CC or curvature CV as its parameter.
At first, consider circular cone coefficient CC is defined as all penetrating light equably from illuminating source 21.For the light that sends from illuminating source 21, can be divided into from the light of light-emitting component 24R, 24G, the direct ejaculation of 24B and the light that penetrates by reflection part 26 reflection backs.Therefore, need know from the light quantity distribution of the light of light-emitting component 24R, 24G, the direct outgoing of 24B.As shown in figure 12, this is the light from direct outgoing zone 29 outgoing.
Figure 31 shows the distribution of the irradiation light quantity that light produced that penetrates from the direct outgoing zone 29 of illuminating source 21.This irradiation light quantity is the irradiation light quantity that is positioned at from the last shadow surface (target face) of the distance of the positive 20mm of illuminating source 21.The transverse axis of Figure 31 is represented center from illuminating source 21 in the distance that the angular direction is recorded, and the longitudinal axis represents to shine the relative value of light quantity, and light quantity is by normalization, and making its maximum is 1.And the curve C 29 among Figure 32 is the light quantity distribution of Figure 31 to be carried out part amplify the curve that shows.Thereby, if consider illuminating source 21 that Figure 24 and Figure 25 are such to the angular direction, then on its section, be arranged in order 5 reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e from the inboard, preferably to the irradiation light quantity of the light that frontal penetrates the irradiation light quantity distribution of light on target face that penetrates from direct outgoing zone 29 replenished, obtain roughly light quantity distribution uniformly as a whole from these reflector spaces 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e.
For example, irradiation light quantity distribution for the light that penetrates from direct outgoing zone 29 shown in Figure 31, if the irradiation light quantity by the light that penetrates after each reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, the 28e reflection is distributed as the distribution of being represented by C28a, C28b, C28c, C28d, C28e as among Figure 32, then Zheng Ti irradiation light quantity distribution Ctotal becomes roughly light quantity distribution uniformly.But in the end of illuminating source 21, under the situation that is arranged with a plurality of illuminating sources 21, the light of 4 light-emitting components 21 of adjacency is overlapping, so in single illuminating source 21, the light quantity of end can be less.
Therefore, light quantity distribution at the light that penetrates from direct outgoing zone 29 is under the situation of the distribution shown in Figure 31, shown in figure 32, can be respectively 1 times, 1.8 times, 2 times, 2 times, 1 times of peak value of the light that penetrates from direct outgoing zone 29 by the peak value of the irradiation light quantity of the light of each reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e reflection.Incide light quantity on reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, the 28e along with sharply reducing away from the center, therefore when considering that this point is obtained the circular cone coefficient CC of reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e, each circular cone coefficient CC is followed successively by-5 ,-2 ,-1.5 ,-1 ,-1.
Obtain like this after the circular cone coefficient CC of each reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e, obtain the curvature CV of each reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e according to the control look of being obtained, being adjusted to the light of respectively controlling look penetrates to frontal from each reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e, improve the colour mixture on the target face of illuminating source 21, guarantee the uniformity of color.Particularly, the curvature CV of each reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e is followed successively by 1/5,1/29,1/28,1/31,1/31.Like this, on to the angular direction, obtain after the circular cone coefficient CC or curvature CV of each reflector space 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e, obtain the circular cone coefficient CC or the curvature CV of remaining reflector space in the same way, determine the shape of each reflector space.Light distribution shown in Figure 16 has represented to determine like this distribution of the irradiation light quantity on the target face of illuminating source 21 of curved surface constant.
And, as another example, consider light-emitting component 24R in the central configuration redness, one to angular direction K2, K6 on, at the green light-emitting component 24G of its both sides configuration, another to angular direction K3, K5 on, at the such illuminating source of Figure 33 of the blue light-emitting component 24B of both sides configuration.Configuration of this light-emitting component and configuration shown in Figure 21 are basic identical, and the number of permutations in length and breadth of reflector space 28R, 28G, 28B also is 15 in the same manner.At this moment, also can learn by the explanation relevant with Figure 21, the upper left side to angular direction K2 and lower right side to angular direction K6 on, the control look is green (G) and red/blue secondary colour (RB), the lower-left side to angular direction K3 and upper right side to angular direction K5 on, the control look is blue (B) and red/green secondary colour (RG), and K1, K4 are last in the horizontal direction is red (R) and green/blue secondary colour (GB), also is red (R) and green/blue secondary colour (GB) on vertical direction K7, K8.
Therefore, in this case, as shown in figure 33, the upper left side to angular direction K2 and lower right side to angular direction K6 on, the secondary colour (RB) of alternate allocation green (G) and red/blue is as the control look.The lower-left side to angular direction K3 and upper right side to angular direction K5 on, the secondary colour (RG) of alternate allocation indigo plant (B) and red/green is as the control look.On K1, the K4, look is controlled in alternate allocation red (R) and green/blue secondary colour (GB) conduct in the horizontal direction.And on vertical direction K7, K8, also look is controlled in alternate allocation red (R) and green/blue secondary colour (GB) conduct.
But, any one to angular direction, horizontal direction, vertical direction on, the control look that two ends are set at 3 kinds of control looks is also all identical, if therefore it is arranged repeatedly, then on to angular direction, horizontal direction or vertical direction, the control look of same color is continuous, produces unevenness of tint.For example, consider, the virtual light-emitting component 33G of 2 greens is divided into virtual light-emitting component 33G (1), virtual light-emitting component 33G (2) angular direction K2.And, if the control look of virtual light-emitting component 33G (1) is made as G (1), the control look of virtual light-emitting component 33G (2) is made as G (2), then as shown in figure 37 to the arrangement of the control look on the K2 of angular direction.At this moment, from from the emergent ray of each virtual light-emitting component 33G (1) shown in Figure 37,33R, 33B, 33G (2) as can be known, in a part, green light is concentrated and intensive, and in a part, green light is sparse, has produced unevenness of tint.
Therefore, under these circumstances, as shown in figure 38, be preferably the light that only makes from a virtual light-emitting component (from the virtual light-emitting component of the near side of reflector space) and penetrate to the front.For example, on to angular direction K2, only alternately arrange on the K2 of angular direction from the control look of the virtual light-emitting component 33G (1) of the near green of reflector space and red/blue virtual light-emitting component 33R, the control look of 33B, and do not use the control look of virtual light-emitting component 33G (2).Like this, also can from the ray plot of Figure 38, learn, can access the even light distribution that does not have unevenness of tint.
Therefore, determine after the control look on all directions,, only consider control look, make the control look of same color discontinuous from the virtual light-emitting component of the near side of corresponding reflector space for the repeated control look.Thereby, as shown in figure 34, upper left side and lower right side to angular direction K2, K6 on, alternately arrange green control look (G) and red/blue control look (RB), lower-left side and upper right side to angular direction K3, K5 on, alternately arrange blue control look (B) and red/green control look (RG).And, on K1, K4 and vertical direction K7, the K8, alternately arrange red control look (R) and green/blue control look (GB) in the horizontal direction.But, the control look G on the K2 of angular direction is based on the virtual light-emitting component 33G (24G) that is positioned at the upper left side, the control look G on the K6 of angular direction is based on the virtual light-emitting component 33G's (24G) that is positioned at the lower right side.Situation on other direction is also identical therewith.
Determine like this respectively controlling after the look in the reflector space on angular direction, horizontal direction and the vertical direction, as shown in figure 34, determine the control look at least on one side along the peripheral part that is positioned at reflection part 26.When determining the control look, make the control look of same color use 6 kinds of control looks up and down discontinuously, the control look of each reflector space is determined on trial property ground.
And, in the zone (for example to the zone between angular direction K2 and the K3) that control look has around been determined, for the reflector space of blank, the application controls look, make that the control look of same color is discontinuous up and down, as shown in figure 35, for example on about 1/4 zone, determine the control look.Afterwards, the control look that will determine symmetrically with respect to the diagonal line is transferred in remaining zone, as shown in figure 36, and for all distribution control looks.
Determine like this after the control look of each reflector space, can with the situation of 3 light-emitting components similarly, determine the curved surface constant of circular cone coefficient CC or curvature CV etc., make uniform light penetrate to frontal.
In the above-described embodiments, dimetric reflection part 26 is divided into be dimetric a plurality of reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ..., but in addition can also be various forms.Figure 39~shown in Figure 42 is the variation 3 of illuminating source 21, be be hexagonal reflection part 26 from top view according to the hexagonal reflector space 28i identical, 28j, 28k with its profile ... the example of cutting apart.Figure 39 (a) is the front view of the illuminating source of variation 3.Figure 39 (b) (c) be respectively corresponding illuminating source to the profile on the angular direction with to the profile on the edge direction.Figure 40 (a) is respectively to have formed the stereogram of observing from face side of mould portion 22 of reflection part 26 and the stereogram of observing from rear side overleaf (b).And Figure 41 (a) is the front view of this mould portion, and Figure 41 (b) is its rearview, and Figure 41 (c) is its right side view, and Figure 41 (d) is its upward view.And Figure 42 is the front view that schematically shows employed reflection part 26 in this illuminating source.For forming hexagon, its reflection part 26 also forms hexagon to this illuminating source 21 from top view.And, hexagonal reflection part 26 seamlessly be divided into hexagonal a plurality of reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ...
Reflector space 28i, the 28j of the such shape of variation 3,28k ... the time, shown in Figure 42 to edge direction K9-K9 on, reflector space is continuous, but shown in Figure 42 to angular direction K10-K10 on, reflector space is (in a part, by the border between the reflector space) that disperses.Under these circumstances, can be at first to design curved surface constant, for example curvature CV or circular cone coefficient CC separately along reflector space, next to determining the curved surface constant successively with the reflector space of this reflector space adjacency to the edge direction configuration.In addition, because it is cut and form platform shape to be positioned at the part of reflector space at edge of reflection part 26, so its effective area diminishes.In the reflector space at hexagon edge jaggy, can suppose at first that the reflection at edge is shaped as hexagon design, the bigger value of determining as hexagon for hexagon reflector space distribution ratio jaggy of circular cone coefficient.The profile of reflection part 26 and each reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... the identical situation of shape under because can design in the above described manner, so easily the curved surface constant of curvature CV or circular cone coefficient CC etc. is regulated.
Figure 43 is the front view of the structure of the reflection part 26 in the expression variation 4.On this reflection part 26, with leg-of-mutton reflection part 26 according to leg-of-mutton a plurality of reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... cut apart.At this moment, if consider reflector space on the line segment K11-K11 of central authorities on connection summit shown in Figure 43 and limit, then be positioned at outermost reflector space (that is, be positioned at the reflector space at place, summit and be positioned at limit central authorities reflector space) excentric distance is inequality.Thereby, in this variation, can be not the reflector space on the design lines section K11-K11 successively, but begin design from the reflector space 28h that is positioned at the summit.Promptly, if at first the reflector space 28h that is positioned at summit, 3 place is designed circular cone coefficient etc., the reflector space 28h that will be positioned at the summit designs the reflector space of adjacency successively as starting point, and advance to the inside, then easily the curved surface constant of curvature CV or circular cone coefficient CC etc. is regulated.
In addition, Figure 44, Figure 45 and Figure 46 represent with reflection part 26 according to reflector space 28i, the 28j of the shape that is different from its profile, 28k ... the variation of cutting apart.Variation 5 shown in Figure 44 and variation 6 shown in Figure 45 be with dimetric reflection part 26 according to leg-of-mutton a plurality of reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... the variation of cutting apart, variation 7 shown in Figure 46 be with hexagonal reflection part 26 according to leg-of-mutton a plurality of reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... the variation of cutting apart.According to these variation 5~7, can to reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... further segment.On the other hand, for from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B light, because the direction of reflector space is disperseed the difficulty so the design of each reflector space becomes with radial ejaculation.Thereby, under the situation of these variation, be preferably as follows and design.
Dimetric reflection part 26 is divided into leg-of- mutton reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... Figure 44 and the variation 5,6 of Figure 45 in, become the border between the reflector space on to edge direction K12-K12, but on to angular direction K13-K13, reflector space disposes continuously.Thereby, in this case, can design reflector space then successively at first to being arranged in to curved surface constants such as the design of the reflector space on the K12-K12 of angular direction circular cone coefficients with corresponding reflector space adjacency.
And, hexagonal reflection part 26 is divided into leg-of-mutton a plurality of reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... the variation 7 of Figure 46 in, become the border between the reflector space on to angular direction K14-K14, but on to edge direction K15-K15, reflector space disposes continuously.Thereby, in this case, can design reflector space then successively at first to being arranged in to curved surface constants such as the design of the reflector space on edge direction K15-K15 circular cone coefficients with corresponding reflector space adjacency.
In addition, Figure 47~Figure 49 is to be the center with light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B, and reflection part 26 is divided into the nebenkern band shape, along the circumferential direction the Region Segmentation of wheel belt shape is become a plurality of variation again.That is, in the reflection part 26 of variation shown in Figure 47 8, with dimetric reflection part 26 be divided into wheel belt shape and radial and constitute a plurality of reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ...In the reflection part 26 of variation shown in Figure 48 9, with hexagonal reflection part 26 be divided into concentric circles and radial and constitute a plurality of reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ...In the reflection part 26 of embodiment shown in Figure 49 10, with leg-of-mutton reflection part 26 be divided into concentric circles and radial and constitute a plurality of reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ...And variation 11 that also can be as shown in figure 50 is such, and the reflector space in each orientation is staggered on radial direction.
In these variation 8~11, since the size decreases of the near reflector space of decentre portion, the difficulty so near the making of the reflector space the central part becomes.Therefore, can in the wheel belt shape zone in the outside, increase and cut apart number, reduce the number of cutting apart of the near reflector space of decentre portion.In these variation, because, can be taken at radial configuration identical on all directions, so the adjusting of the design of reflection part 26 or curved surface constant becomes easy for from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B light with radial ejaculation.
And, Figure 51, Figure 52 be the reflector space 28i, the 28j that make the shape identical, 28k with the profile of reflection part 26 ... rotation, according to this reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... the variation of segmented reflector parts 26.Variation 12 shown in Figure 51 be according to reflector space 28i, 28j, the 28k of the quadrangle (being rhombus) of 45 ° of rotations ... the example of cutting apart dimetric reflection part 26.Variation 13 shown in Figure 52 be according to the hexagonal reflector space 28i of rotation after 30 ° or 90 °, 28j, 28k ... the example of cutting apart hexagonal reflection part 26.In these variation 12,13 because reflector space light quantity easily not enough to the angular direction on continuously, so that the design of reflector space becomes is easy.But, because be easy to generate the reflector space of the shape of many cut parts at periphery, the loss of light takes place easily.In such variation because reflector space on to the angular direction continuously, so carry out easily along the design of the reflector space that the angular direction is arranged.And,, carry out the design of reflection part 26 or the adjusting of curved surface constant easily by from beginning design reflectivity zone successively with reflector space to the reflector space adjacency on the angular direction.
Figure 53~Figure 55 be according to reflector space 28i, the 28j, the 28k that arrange difformity or size from the distance of light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B ..., 28x, 28y, 28z ... variation.That is, in the variation shown in Figure 53 14, on dimetric reflection part 26, formed dimetric reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ..., 28x, 28y, 28z ..., decentre is far away more, and the size of reflector space is big more.If design such reflection part 26, according to the reflector space of size maximum the integral body of reflection part 26 is cut apart, from outermost reflector space begin to be divided into successively in length and breadth 1 part (promptly not cutting apart), 2 parts, 3 parts ...
And, in the variation shown in Figure 54 15, in hexagonal reflection part 26, formed hexagonal reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ..., 28x, 28y, 28z ... the part that decentre is far away more, reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ..., 28x, 28y, 28z ... size big more.At this moment, also can at first cut apart hexagonal reflection part 26 integral body equably, and then the inside of the reflector space of size maximum is cut apart according to the hexagonal reflector space of size maximum.
In the variation shown in Figure 55 16, in leg-of-mutton reflection part 26, formed leg-of- mutton reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ..., 28x, 28y, 28z ... the part that decentre is far away more, reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ..., 28x, 28y, 28z ... size big more.According to this variation, it is big that the degree of freedom of design becomes, and the uniformity of light intensity or color improves.At this moment, also can be at first according to the leg-of-mutton reflector space of size maximum equably reflection part 26 integral body of diabolo cut apart, and then the inside of the reflector space of size maximum is cut apart.
In the such variation 14~16 in Figure 53~55, can at first reflection part 26 be divided into the reflector space of identical size and design each curved surface constant, cut apart each reflector space again and the curve form of the reflector space after cutting apart is finely tuned, so carry out the design of reflection part 26 easily.And, in such variation, the light quantity of the light that sends from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B is many, so the degree of freedom of design increases, the uniformity of light intensity improves, but then, because near the light-emitting zone the central part becomes small, the difficulty so near the making of the light-emitting zone the central part becomes.
And the shape of mould portion 22 also can be carried out various design alterations.For example, in the variation shown in Figure 56 17, direct outgoing zone 29 is formed the curved surface of coniform, round table-like, dome shape etc.If direct outgoing zone 29 is formed such curved surface, then can wait and regulate by inclination total reflection zone 32 total reflections, incide the reflection of light direction in direct outgoing zone 29, thereby improve the design freedom of reflection part 26 according to its inclination angle or curvature.
Figure 57 be used for illustrating the light that makes direct outgoing zone 29 form cone shape variation 17 state to the profile on the angular direction.Make direct outgoing zone 29 have the appropriate tilt angle if make direct outgoing zone 29 form coniform like this, then such shown in Figure 57, can make the mutual almost parallel of light that penetrates from direct outgoing zone 29.
The front shape of mould portion 22 or ditch 25 etc. also can be carried out various design alterations.For example, in the variation shown in Figure 58 18, be to be formed with circular ditch 25 and circular direct outgoing zone 29 in the dimetric illuminating source 21 in profile.And, in the variation shown in Figure 59 19, be ditch 25 and the dimetric direct outgoing zone 29 that is formed with four square ring shapes in the dimetric illuminating source in profile.In the variation shown in Figure 60 20, be ditch 25 and the hexagonal direct outgoing zone 29 that is formed with the hexagonal ring-type in the hexagonal illuminating source in profile.In the variation shown in Figure 61 21, be ditch 25 and the leg-of-mutton direct outgoing zone 29 that is formed with the triangle ring-type in the leg-of-mutton illuminating source in profile.
In the such variation 18 of Figure 58, can with design direct outgoing zone 29 from the illuminating source 21 that is configured in central part accordingly with the light of radial ejaculation, so directly the design in outgoing zone 29 is easy to.And in the such variation 19~21 of Figure 59~Figure 61, design freedom increases, and the uniformity of light intensity or color improves.
And, in the variation shown in Figure 62 22, be that profile is set in the dimetric illuminating source 21 is dimetric ditch 25 in profile, the heart is provided with circular direct outgoing zone 29 therein.In the variation 23 of Figure 63, be that hexagonal ditch 25 is set in the hexagonal illuminating source in profile, the heart is provided with circular direct outgoing zone 29 therein.In the variation shown in Figure 64 24, be that profile is set in the leg-of-mutton illuminating source 21 is leg-of-mutton ditch 25 in profile, the heart is provided with circular direct outgoing zone 29 therein.
One side compares with the variation 18,19 of Figure 58 and Figure 59 and illustrate that on one side making the peripheral shape of ditch 25 corresponding with the profile of illuminating source 21, making direct outgoing zone 29 is the advantages of the variation 22~24 of circle as Figure 62~Figure 64.Figure 65 (a) (b) shows the variation 18 of Figure 58 of the ditch 25 that circular certain width is set, and Figure 65 (a) represents it to the section on the angular direction, and Figure 65 (b) represents that it is to the section on the edge direction.As Figure 65 (a) (b) shown in, to each reflector space 28p, 28q on the section of edge direction, 28r ... the section of length comparison angular direction on each reflector space 28s, 28t, 28u ... length shorter, on to edge direction with the angular direction is compared, each reflector space 28p, 28q, 28r ... more be partial to central side.Therefore, for example shown in Figure 65 (a), on section to the angular direction, even be designed to from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B send, by the light of total reflection zone 31 reflections of the bottom side of ditch 25 from the inboard incide the 2nd reflector space 28s all on, on the section shown in Figure 65 (b) to edge direction, light by 31 reflections of total reflection zone not only incides on the 2nd the reflector space 28p from the inboard, also incides on the 3rd the reflector space 28q from the inboard.Therefore, in reflector space 28q, also receive light by 31 reflections of total reflection zone, complicated thereby the design of reflector space 28q becomes.
On the other hand, Figure 66 (a) (b) shows the variation 19 of Figure 59 of ditch 25 that the profile that is provided with illuminating source 21 forms the certain width of four square ring shapes accordingly, Figure 66 (a) shows it to the section on the angular direction, and Figure 66 (b) shows it to the section on the edge direction.At this moment, to each reflector space 28p, 28q on the section of edge direction, 28r ... length also to compare each reflector space 28s, 28t on the section of angular direction, 28u ... length shorter, on to edge direction with the angular direction is compared, each reflector space 28p, 28q, 28r ... more to be partial to central side.But, under Figure 58 and Figure 65 (a) variation 18 situations (b), profile direction is not depended in the position of ditch 25, but it is certain, with respect to this, under the situation of Figure 59 and Figure 66 (a) variation 19 (b), on section to edge direction, compare with the section to the angular direction, central side more is partial in the position of ditch 25.Therefore, can be on the section shown in Figure 66 (a) to the angular direction, be designed to from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B send, by the light of total reflection zone 31 reflections of the bottom side of ditch 25 from the inboard incide the 2nd reflector space 28s all on, and on the section shown in Figure 66 (b) to edge direction, also can be designed to by the light of total reflection zone 31 reflections from the inboard incide the 2nd reflector space 28p all on.Therefore, according to such variation 19, it is easy that the design of reflector space becomes.But, in such variation 19, there is following shortcoming: because directly outgoing zone 29 is quadrangle, so by dimetric direct outgoing zone 29 reflections or see through the light with radial ejaculation from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B, thereby diffused light increases.In the variation 20,21 of Figure 60 and Figure 61, there is such shortcoming too.
With respect to this, form quadrangle accordingly in profile with the profile of ditch 25 and illuminating source 21, the heart is provided with in the variation 22 of Figure 62 in circular direct outgoing zone 29 therein, can and Figure 66 (a) (b) in the same manner no matter on to the angular direction or on, the light by 31 reflections of total reflection zone is incided on specific reflector space 28s, the 28p to edge direction.And, according to variation 22, because directly outgoing zone 29 be circular, so can suppress the generation of diffused light by direct outgoing zone 29 reflection or through from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B light in the same manner on all directions with radial ejaculation.Same this action effect that exists in the variation 23,24 of Figure 63, Figure 64.
Variation 25 shown in Figure 67 be the total reflection zone 31 with ditch 25 bottom surfaces be divided into a plurality of cut zone 31a, 31b ... illuminating source 21.And Figure 68 (a) is the stereogram of the structure in the direct outgoing zone 29 of this illuminating source 21 of expression and total reflection zone 31.Figure 68 (b) is the figure of the state of the light in this illuminating source 21 of expression (c), and Figure 68 (b) is the summary section to the illuminating source on the edge direction 21, and Figure 68 (c) is its front view.And in Figure 68 (b), total reflection zone 31 expressions of being represented by chain-dotted line are than the part in the total reflection zone 31 of the more close observation side of the section of this figure.According to this variation 25, it is big that the degree of freedom of design becomes, thereby can improve the uniformity of light intensity or color.In variation 25,8 five equilibriums are carried out in total reflection zone 31, along the circumferential direction alternately arrange cut zone 31a and cut zone 31b.The incline direction of cut zone 31a and cut zone 31b is reverse along circumferencial direction, and is configured to make the light to the edge direction ejaculation to spread, make on the light that the angular direction is penetrated focuses on the angular direction to both sides.
Figure 69 (a) represents that the axle center with direct outgoing zone 29 is the stereogram in the total reflection zone 31 with uniform inclination angle at center.Figure 69 (b) is the figure of the state of the light in this illuminating source of expression (c), and Figure 69 (b) is the summary section to the illuminating source on the edge direction 21, and Figure 69 (c) is its front view.In comparative example with such total reflection zone 31, as Figure 69 (b) (c) shown in, the light that sends from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B is being radial diffusion after by 31 reflections of total reflection zone, thus light result of uniform distribution on all directions be, to angular direction glazing quantity not sufficient.With respect to this, in the variation shown in Figure 67 25, as Figure 68 (b) (c) shown in, because cut zone 31a and cut zone 31b, be configured to make to the light that edge direction is penetrated and spread, make on the light that the angular direction is penetrated focuses on the angular direction to both sides, so with edge direction is compared light more to the angular direction is assembled, thereby more light quantity is assigned on the angular direction, can improve the light intensity on the front of illuminating source 21 and the uniformity of color thus.
Figure 70 (a) is the stereogram of the structure in the direct outgoing zone 29 of illuminating source 21 of expression variation 26 and total reflection zone 31.Figure 70 (b) is the figure of the state of the light in this illuminating source 21 of expression (c), and Figure 70 (b) is the summary section to the illuminating source on the edge direction 21, and Figure 70 (c) is its front view.And in Figure 68 (b), total reflection zone 31 expressions of being represented by chain-dotted line are than the part in the total reflection zone 31 of the more close observation side of the section of this figure.Variation 26 is in the illuminating source 21 of Figure 67, has formed the cut zone 31c of round ditch shape again between the cut zone 31a in total reflection zone 31 and cut zone 31b.According to this variation 26, because can make the light diffusion of sending again, so can further improve the light intensity in front of illuminating source 21 or the uniformity of color by the cut zone 31c of circle ditch shape from light-emitting component 24R, 24G, 24B.
And, the variation 27 of Figure 71 be the surface segmentation with direct outgoing zone 29 be a plurality of cut zone 29a, 29b ..., incline direction or inclination angle at each cut zone 29a, 29b ... and different variation.Because by cut apart direct outgoing zone 29 regulate each cut zone 29a, 29b ... incline direction or the inclination angle also can regulate to each reflector space 28i, 28j, 28k ... the light quantity of distributing is so can further improve the light intensity in front of illuminating source 21 and the uniformity of color.In addition, also can be as the variation 28 of Figure 72, with the total reflection zone 31 on the bottom surface of ditch 25 be divided into a plurality of cut zone 31a, 31b ..., with the surface segmentation in direct outgoing zone 29 be again a plurality of cut zone 29a, 29b ...
Figure 73 is the front view of the illuminating source 21 of expression variation 29.In variation 29, with total reflection zone 30 be divided into checkerboard a plurality of cut zone 30a, 30b ..., and on the surface in total reflection zone 30, be formed with the convex-concave figure.In illuminating source 21 with smooth total reflection zone 30, such as the comparative example of Figure 75 (a) shown in (b), may be from the outer peripheral face leak light of mould portion 22 and cause light loss, and, be arranged in from the light-emitting component farthest to the bight deficiency in light quantity on the angular direction, thereby the easy deepening in bight.With respect to this, in variation 29 as Figure 73, with total reflection zone 30 be divided into a plurality of cut zone 30a, 30b ... situation under, as Figure 74 (a) (b) shown in, each cut zone 30a, 30b by regulating total reflection zone 30 ... slope or inclination angle, can to the 28i of reflector space arbitrarily of reflection part 26,28j, 28k ... lead-in light.Thus, the degree of freedom of design improves, thus can relax each reflector space that arrives reflection part 26 light the light quantity difference and improve the light intensity in front of illuminating source or the uniformity of color.
In variation 29, for example, to avris, be the concavees lens sigmoid by the zone that makes total reflection zone 30 and make the light diffusion, or the zone by making total reflection zone 30 is to the angular direction is tilted to make light to the angular direction is reflected, increase the light quantity of distributing, thereby can prevent the bight deepening on the angular direction to the angular direction.And, effectively utilizing light in order to reduce the loss light that leaks from the outer peripheral face of illuminating source 21, the end regions on the angular direction in total reflection zone 30 is preferably to central side or to edge direction.
And, when being smooth illuminating sources in total reflection zone 30, comparative example shown in Figure 77 is such, light penetrates equably from total reflection zone 30, but because of the optical path length from light-emitting component of the light that penetrates from the end in total reflection zone 30 longer, so a little less than the light intensity, in the easy deepening in the edge of illuminating source.In addition, might light leak and become loss light, thereby cause the utilization ratio of light low from the outer peripheral face of illuminating source.Under the situation of variation 29, in such moment, shown in Figure 76, make cut zone 30a, 30b beyond the peripheral part in the total reflection zone 30 ... oblique to the periphery inclination, thereby can with by cut zone 30a, 30b beyond the peripheral part ... the light of reflection can prevent the peripheral part deepening of illuminating source 21 to the peripheral part transmission.In addition, cut zone 30a, the 30b by making the peripheral part in the total reflection zone 30 ... inside all inclinations are oblique, can reduce the loss light that leaks from the outer peripheral face of illuminating source 21.Therefore, according to this variation 29, it is big that the degree of freedom of design becomes, thereby can improve the uniformity of light intensity or color.
