Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of LED quadric cylinder lens for the downward back radiant, mainly is applicable to the backlight of downward back radiant, or the LED-backlit billboard.
Background technology
Back light is widely applied in conventional liquid crystal (LCD) and large-scale advertisement plate.And traditional cold-cathode tube (CCFL) backlight is replaced by light emitting diode (LED) backlight gradually.And the LGP that initial backlight is processed by back side carving is realized, light source (CCFL of line source or the LED of spot light) imports light into from the LGP side, and this kind mode is owing to the restriction of LGP technology, and efficient is not high.Directly-down liquid crystal display backlight source then Effective Raise the light efficiency problem.Because LED belongs to the spot light of limited angle light beam, when being used for direct LED backlight, need hundreds of even thousands of whites or three-primary color LED to arrange and the formation area source, form a large-area planar and throw light on.
Spot light is changed into area source, is the key technology in LED-backlit source.The light source uniformity and mixed light height are two very important performance indications of backlight.
Improvement for optical uniformity is the key factor of restriction LCD direct-light-type backlight.The LED-backlit source is closely relevant with the light distribution of LED based on the uniformity of the area source of led array.When not having mounted lens, the LED light distribution distributes near Lang Baite.When utilizing traditional dome-type lens as the LED-backlit source, can change the light distribution of LED, reduce beam angle, so that light more concentrates near the LED axis.No matter adopt any LED packaged type, when using it for the backlight of directly-down type LCD, because light distribution too concentrates near the axis or concentrate on the side, so that backlight is difficult to obtain high evenness.Therefore the optical uniformity backlight that becomes directly-down type LCD is difficult to the problem that solves the most.When the LED direct-light-type backlight adopted traditional LED packing forms, in order to improve the light uniformity, usually adopting increased thickness, perhaps increased the LED density of arranging.This kind solution has improved the volume and weight of backlight, thereby has restricted the application and development of LCD direct-light-type backlight.The mixed light height is backlight another one key index.Widely used in the market is a kind of circular secondary lens (as shown in Figure 1).This scheme with LED light through two circular concave surfaces, thereby increase LED light dispersion angle, by array arrangement, realize the backlight solution that the low less led array of mixed light height is arranged.These scheme lens are along diffusion LED light energy on the 360 degree directions, so relatively large for the reduction of luminous intensity, during especially large diffusion ratio (diffusion ratio is the ratio of space between light sources and mixed light height); This kind lens generally produce circular light spot simultaneously, in the situation that led array is arranged, easily form blackening, all lens must be installed on each LEDs in addition, and the required precision of assembling, so that this backlight solution has higher assembly cost.

The specific embodiment
For making the purpose of this utility model, technical scheme and advantage more clear, below in conjunction with the implementation case and with reference to accompanying drawing, the utility model is described in further details.
LED quadric cylinder lens described in the utility model (are called for short cylindrical lens, lower same) be the axial symmetry entity that adopts transparent material to make, it is light receiving surface that LED quadric cylinder lens comprise plane of incidence 1(), reflecting surface 2 and exit facet 3(be exiting surface), the plane of incidence 1 that is used for reception light is positioned at LED quadric cylinder lens bottoms (center) and is curved surface, led light source 4 is installed on the plane of incidence 1 below, described reflecting surface 2 is positioned at LED quadric cylinder lens bottom surface and is the plane, and the light reflection that is used for upper surface (being exit facet 3) is reflected returns upper surface.Described exit facet 3 is curved surface.
The utility model because the plane of incidence 1 is curved surface with exit facet 3 and both curvature different (parameter that is the plane of incidence 1 in the following formula, exit facet 3 is not identical, perhaps z, the r in the following formula replaces when representing respectively the plane of incidence 1, exit facet 3 along the height and distance in the cylinder normal direction outline line with z1, r1 and z3, r3 respectively, about the parameter in z1, the r1 formula from different about the parameter in z3, the r3 formula), enlarged the distribution consistency degree of light beam, the reduction less of luminous intensity, and be difficult for producing circular light spot or blackening, assemble also fairly simple.
