Description

Backlight module and LCD
Technical field
The present invention is about a kind of backlight module, and particularly about a kind of backlight liquid crystal display module that can be applicable to.
Background technology
Luminous efficacy owing to light emitting diode (LED) has obtained significantly to improve in recent years, be expected future to surmount cathode fluorescent tube (CCFL) even run neck and neck with cathode fluorescent tube (CCFL), therefore light emitting diode (LED) can more extensively apply to various light fixture, particularly applicable to requiring on the light source of higher various information display devices for luminescent quality and efficient.
Traditional fluorescent light is a line source, and for example cathode fluorescent tube (CCFL) does not have special optical axis and special luminous smooth type, and when using these conventional light source, the design variable that needs to consider does not need too much, and is comparatively simple.Yet for the pointolite of for example LED, its principle of luminosity and encapsulation pattern are different with fluorescent light or other conventional light source,, LED can produce own distinctive luminous smooth type in the space; These light types are to occur with axisymmetric form substantially, the emergent ray of this light source form one special axially, produce an imaginary optical axis.Therefore, the adjustment of LED optical axis produces significant effects to its utilization of light type in the space.Owing to have the characteristic of optical axis and different luminous smooth types, in design with LED during when the backlight module of light source, must be through more careful optical design, the characteristics of luminescence that just can more effective this kind of utilization pointolite like this.
Generally speaking, can utilize half strong angle (FWHM, Full width at half maximum) size to estimate circular luminous intensity angle distribution situation.Wherein, suppose that highest intensity value is A, then half-value angle or title apparent value angle are meant that luminous intensity values is the angle of direction and the normal direction of A/2.If divide from luminous intensity angle distribution plan, the luminous smooth type of LED is broadly divided into three classes: high directivity, have very high directive property, and can make local lighting light source usefulness, half-value angle is 5 degree~20 degree or littler; Standard form is made pilot lamp usefulness usually, and half-value angle is 20 degree~45 degree; Scatter-type, this is the bigger pilot lamp in visual angle, half-value angle is 45 degree~90 degree or bigger.
For example US business lumileds company promptly produces the LED product with different luminous smooth types (radiation pattern).Its luminous smooth type for example shown in Figure 1A~Fig. 1 C, has the bat aerofoil profile (Batwingtype) of Figure 1A, the dome-type of Figure 1B (Lambertian type), the side light type of Fig. 1 C various luminous smooth types such as (Side-emitting type).Industry still has the LED design of light-focusing type (Collimated radiation pattern) in addition.Therefore, how utilizing the distinctive luminous smooth type that is different from conventional light source, in the design of backlight module, promptly is one of target of our effort at present with effective application LED.
Pointolite with for example LED is the backlight module of light source at present, is substrate with the complete flat board of a monoblock mostly, and LED is arranged thereon.When being Z axle forward with the exiting surface, LED is provided with the position and only can adjusts on X-axis, Y-axis two directions in backlight module, therefore, for center brightness and the homogeneity of adjusting backlight module, only can do variation with regard to the horizontal level of LED.Yet under existing structure, center brightness and homogeneity are to decide according to the distribution scenario of LED on the XY plane, are the parameters for mutual exclusion, often are difficult for obtaining further balance on practice.
In view of this, how to improve the design parameter of LED, and then can effectively utilize the distinctive luminous smooth type of LED, be the direction that the insider endeavoured.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention is providing for example backlight module of the pointolite of LED of a kind of use, and it has a supporting seat, can be constituted by non-single plane or by a curved surface.Under this structure, LED can also control the optical axis direction of LED by the attitude of adjusting the LED supporting seat except the density that can adjust with control LED distribution on horizontal level.Therefore, the present invention can have more the design parameter of " optical axis direction " than traditional direct-light type LED backlight module, can more effectively utilize LED distinctive luminous smooth type in the space, to obtain the balance of backlight module in center brightness and uniformity coefficient.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, this backlight module comprises a supporting seat, at least two pointolites and a diffuser plate, wherein, this supporting seat has a light source Support, these at least two pointolites then are arranged on this light source Support, and this diffuser plate is arranged on this supporting seat and those pointolites top, and the position difference of these at least two pointolites on the thickness direction of this backlight module.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, this backlight module comprises a supporting seat, at least two pointolites and a diffuser plate, wherein, this supporting seat has a light source Support, these at least two pointolites then are arranged on this light source Support, and this diffuser plate is arranged on this supporting seat and those pointolites top, and the optical axis direction of this first pointolite and this second pointolite is not parallel.
Another preferred embodiment according to the present invention, this LCD comprises a liquid crystal panel, and a backlight module and has the shell of an accommodation space, and this shell is in order to ccontaining this liquid crystal panel and this backlight module.This backlight module comprises a supporting seat, at least two pointolites and a diffuser plate, wherein, this supporting seat has a light source Support, these at least two pointolites then are arranged on this light source Support, this diffuser plate is arranged on this supporting seat and those pointolites top, and the position difference of these at least two pointolites on the thickness direction of this backlight module.
