Embodiment
Please consult Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 simultaneously, Fig. 3 is the synoptic diagram of the utility model embodiment LCD backlight optical module, and Fig. 4 then is the cut-open view of LCD backlight optical module.The utility model embodiment LCD backlight optical module is a phacoid 40, and this phacoid 40 is the circular-arc mirror body of a hemisphere, and it has an incidence surface 41 and an exiting surface 42.Incidence surface 41 is a circular arc concave surface, and exiting surface 42 then is an arc convex surface.
Please continue to consult Fig. 4, the arc concave surface of incidence surface 41 is a central point with central shaft 60, its curvature by central shaft 60 laterally, by diminishing greatly gradually.That is as shown in the drawing, the angle of minute surface tangent line and central shaft 60, is diminished to the c angle to the b angle more gradually by a angle.The arc convex surface curvature of exiting surface 42 is then changed from small to big laterally by central shaft 60, and also as accompanying drawing, the angle of minute surface tangent line and central shaft 60 to the B angle, becomes big to the C angle by the A angle more gradually.
Therefore, see also Fig. 5, by the light that led light source 30 is launched, through refraction for the first time, these light by after the refraction for the second time of exiting surface 42 processes, penetrate this phacoid 40 again when entering phacoid 40 by incidence surface 41.Because the incidence surface 41 more curvature near central shaft 60 is bigger, therefore the light refraction angle by this place's incident is also bigger, it is scattered toward the both sides branch more easily, and away from the exterior lateral area of central shaft 60, then because curvature is little, the refraction angle that produces is little, and therefore the light at two side directions does not have bigger deviation.When these light touch exiting surface 42, then because more the curvature near central shaft 60 is littler, its refraction angle is also little, the light angle deviation of outgoing originally is little, but exterior lateral area away from central shaft 60, then become big because of curvature, refraction angle also increases, further make these emergent lights toward the skew of central shaft 60 both sides, make the emergent ray of led light source 30, significantly increase the zone of its irradiation, its simultaneously also since with light toward both sides skew refraction, make that also the light intensity of both sides is strong than the light of central shaft side's line, so Strengthenable is launched farther and the wider light intensity that distributes by the outer both sides of central shaft, when making its blooming piece that is radiated at the LCD backlight, can keep suitable illumination, and the uniformity coefficient in WBR zone is improved, with the quality of further lifting LCD video picture.
Second embodiment of the present utility model sees also Fig. 6, the phacoid structure of the utility model embodiment, several also can be set in exiting surface 43 surfaces of aforementioned phacoid be the lens bar 430 that concentric circles distributes, it is zero clinohedral 431 that this lens bar 430 can be curvature.Each clinohedral 431 is along the tangent line on exiting surface 43 surfaces, and the variation that has angle in twos, is connected laterally and extends in the concentric circles mode by central shaft 60 circle centre positions.Please consult Fig. 7 simultaneously, this figure is the cut-open view of the utility model second embodiment phacoid.The curved transition of this phacoid incidence surface 41 is ditto described, and the angle of minute surface tangent line and central shaft 60, is diminished to the c angle to the b angle more gradually by a angle.And the curved transition of 431 of each clinohedrals is also identical with the variation of aforementioned exiting surface 42, is changed from small to big laterally by central shaft 60, to the B angle, becomes big gradually to the C angle by the A angle again.The distribution of light of its outgoing of present embodiment also with the distribution of light quite similar (seeing also Fig. 5) of aforementioned phacoid, have light that led light source 30 is dispersed luminous intensity distribution in addition equally, and present the larger area range of exposures.Simultaneously according to the result of emergent ray to the both sides skew, making the emergent ray intensity of central axis direction is low than both sides, also according to the central shaft reinforcement of both sides light intensity outward, improve the illumination of the outer both sides of central shaft emergent ray irradiation area, and then the uniformity coefficient on the raising integral panels, and can promote the LCD image display quality.
The 3rd embodiment of the present utility model please consults Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 simultaneously, the phacoid of the utility model embodiment, also can several are set are the lens bar 430 that concentric circles distributes, and this lens bar 430 can be the arc concave volume 432 of curvature for bearing in exiting surface 43 surfaces of aforementioned phacoid.Its also as described above, each arc concave volume 432 is along the tangent line on exiting surface 43 surfaces, the variation that has angle in twos, is connected laterally and extends in the concentric circles mode by central shaft 60 circle centre positions.Because each arc concave volume 432 its curvature is for negative, when therefore light is through arc concave volume 432 surfaces, the phenomenon that scattering is arranged, phacoid to the outside, all has the chromatic dispersion effects of arc concave volume 432 from the extension of central axis of exiting surface 43, and the common factor that can make light by 432 outgoing of arc concave volume carry out light mixes, and can make emergent ray produce the effect of mixed light, so can promote the uniformity coefficient of emergent ray, and further make the luminous more even of integral body, the effect of improving the LCD display quality will also be arranged.
The 4th embodiment of the present utility model please consults Figure 10 and Figure 11 simultaneously, the phacoid of the utility model embodiment, also can several be set be the lens bar 430 that concentric circles distributes in exiting surface 43 surfaces of aforementioned phacoid structure, it is positive arc convex body 433 that this lens bar 430 also can be curvature.Wherein, each arc convex body 433 is along the tangent line on exiting surface 43 surfaces, and the variation that has angle in twos, is connected laterally and extends in the concentric circles mode by central shaft 60 circle centre positions.Because each arc convex body 433 its curvature is for just, therefore behind light process arc convex body 433 surfaces, can produce the mixed light effect of common factor, so can promote the uniformity coefficient of emergent ray, and further make the luminous more even of integral body, can improve the display quality of LCD simultaneously.
The 5th embodiment of the present utility model sees also Figure 12, the phacoid of the utility model embodiment, also can several be set be diamond face little luminous intensity distribution minute surface 440 arranged evenly, and the curvature of this little luminous intensity distribution minute surface 440 can be zero in exiting surface 44 surfaces of aforementioned phacoid structure.The structure of itself and aforementioned clinohedral 431 is quite similar, and only will be the little ramp blocks 441 that each clinohedral 431 that concentric circles arranges is separated out littler minute surface area again.Therefore, the one-piece construction of the present embodiment phacoid still structure with aforementioned phacoid 40 is identical, and the difference to some extent on exiting surface 44 surfaces only.So led light source is not changed to the effect of both sides refraction and increase both sides luminosity intensity, just, see through the refraction action of these little ramp blocks 441, make the chance that can increase the mixed light that occurs simultaneously each other between emergent ray, make more effect of uniform of this ejaculation light and have.
On the other hand, the curvature of aforementioned little luminous intensity distribution minute surface 440 also can be negative or positive, and forms arc concavity or the little minute surface set of convex arc-shape that several are arranged in diamond face mode respectively.See also Figure 13 and Figure 14, its formed arc concavity or the little minute surface of convex arc-shape are respectively recessed 442 of little arc and little arc projection 443, and are respectively the of the present utility model the 6th and the 7th embodiment.This little luminous intensity distribution minute surface 440 respectively, no matter it is recessed 442 of little arc or little arc projection 443, its arrangement mode is identical with little ramp blocks 441, its difference only is the curvature of little luminous intensity distribution minute surface 440, but no matter its curvature why, the two all has aforementioned with the occured simultaneously effect of mixed light of emergent ray, also can significantly promote the uniformity coefficient of led light source WBR.Recessed 442 of aforementioned little arc or little arc projection 443, its level can be identical or different with the curvature of vertical direction.
The 8th embodiment of the present utility model please consults Figure 15 and Figure 16 simultaneously, and phacoid structure of the present utility model also can be quadrilateral hemisphere globoidal mirror body, and these mirror body four limits are provided with four plumb cuts 721.This phacoid 70 also has an incidence surface 71 and an exiting surface 72.The arc concave curvature of incidence surface 71 is a central point with central shaft 60, is diminished gradually laterally by the center, and the arc convex surface curvature of exiting surface 72 then becomes big laterally by central shaft 60.Therefore, present embodiment also has the aforementioned effect that makes led light source to both sides refraction and increase both sides luminosity intensity.And its exiting surface 72, can be as described above, be provided with a plurality of lens bars that concentric circles is arranged that are, the curvature of these lens bars can be zero, just or for negative.It also can be covered with a plurality of little luminous intensity distribution minute surfaces with diamond face arrangement mode on exiting surface 72 surfaces, and the curvature of these little luminous intensity distribution minute surfaces also can be zero, just or for negative, and each little its level of luminous intensity distribution minute surface also can be identical or different with the curvature of Z-axis picture.
See also Figure 17, phacoid 40 can be overlapped and is placed on the led light source 30, and this led light source 30 then can be coupled on the pedestal 50, in order to electrically connect, and provides power supply.Please consult Figure 18 again, when LCD backlight optical module of the present utility model is applied in the backlight module, the incidence surface 41 and the aforesaid led light source 30 of phacoid 40 connect, exiting surface 42 then in the backlight module near the blooming piece Z in LED-backlit source, and can place X distance below the blooming piece Z, then after the refraction of light that led light source 30 penetrates via phacoid 40, can shining blooming piece Z, to go up diameter be in the circumferential area of Y length, and diameter Y is about 2 times of distance X to 7 double-lengths.The aforementioned led light source that utilizes can be the LED of SMD type, or the LED of other form, and its glow color then can be white light or other other coloured light according to need.
According to the utility model, by the light that phacoid 40 penetrates, it is near axially and less its intensity of emergent ray of angle is lower, but its irradiation distance is short, and the area that is spread is little, so illumination will reduce slightly; And the bigger light of shooting angle, the distance on itself and illuminated surface is far away, and the zone of diffusion is bigger, the light beam illumination that is distributed on the per unit area is reduced, originally can cause the bigger emergent light illumination rapid drawdown of lighting angle, but in the utility model, owing to bigger its intensity of emergent light of lighting angle significantly increases, so the uniformity of illuminance of its edge still can maintain more than 75%.That is axial 0 degree of led light source penetrates when the light illumination of blooming piece Z is calculated with 100, and these are 2X length at diameter then has more than 75 to the light illumination of the circumferential edges of 7X length.
Therefore, by LCD backlight optical module of the present utility model, the regional extent that can make its irradiation of LED-backlit source is under the condition of uniformity coefficient more than 75%, existing led light source shines to be contained area and increases about 4 times to 49 times more than, the uniformity coefficient on illuminated surface is improved, then because of the significantly amplification of irradiated area, less led light source can be disposed in the backlight module of LCD on the other hand, thereby also the required cost of equipment can be significantly reduced.
