Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display device, in particular in a motor vehicle, with a display which can be illuminated by a light source and a light guide arranged between the light source and display, the light source having a plurality of individual light sources whose total light-emitting area is larger than the area of the display.
  • Such display devices are known and are used for example in motor vehicles for instrument lighting. In comparison to illuminable displays with bright individual light sources, such as halogen lamps or fluorescent lamps, these devices can have a lower power consumption and reduced heat dissipation.
  • a known solution to this problem is to arrange a light guide in the form of a solid truncated pyramid between the light sources and the display, the base of which is adjacent to the light sources and which tapers in the direction of the display. Due to this shape of the light guide, the light rays emerge from the light guide at a larger angle than they entered it. This runs counter to the requirement for a narrow beam angle of light, which ensures high lighting intensity. There are also disadvantageous light losses due to light emission on the side surfaces of the light guide, since the light rays strike the surface with each reflection at a larger angle, closer to the vertical, and thus the total reflection is canceled.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of designing a display device of the type mentioned at the outset such that the light emitted by the individual light sources is available for illuminating the display with as little loss as possible.
  • the light guide has individual light guide sections assigned to the individual light sources on the light source side, which merge into a common light guide section on the display side, or that the light guide has convex lens elements on its light entry side facing the light source and on its light exit side facing the display, the individual light sources in each case having one Corresponding convex lens element on the light entry side is associated with a convex lens element on the light exit side.
  • Light losses can thus be largely avoided in a simple manner.
  • the light is between the convex lens elements on the light entry side and those on the light exit side of the light guide, the light is bundled by the first-mentioned lens elements, avoiding scattering losses.
  • the display device according to the invention also requires very little space and enables the use of any light sources. The power yield of the device is very high and an additional cooling device is not required even in the case of a cramped installation in the dashboard of a motor vehicle.
  • the radiation angle of the light emerging from the light guide being as large as or smaller than the radiation angle of the light emitted by the light source. In this way, the light is not only guided with little loss in the light guide from the light source to the display, but is also bundled to increase intensity.
  • any arrangement of the individual light sources is conceivable. In the case of approximately square displays in particular, however, it is particularly advantageous if the individual light sources are arranged in matrix form. This results in particularly short light guide paths, which are also largely free of light losses, since the light paths have no additional deflections and deflections.
  • the individual light sources are LEDs, which results in both an increased service life of the lighting unit and only a small amount of heat loss.
  • the display device according to the invention is particularly simple to manufacture and can also be produced in very large quantities, such as those which occur in particular in motor vehicle applications, if the individual light sources are preferably arranged on a circuit board and are electrically contacted with it. It also eliminates the need for complex electrical connections. It is particularly advantageous if the printed circuit board has a high thermal conductivity, so that the risk of overheating of the light sources can be excluded even at high ambient temperatures.
  • the light source has a cooling element for dissipating heat from the individual light sources.
  • the light source has convex lenses on its light exit side facing the light guide, one convex lens corresponding on the one hand with an individual light source and on the other hand with an individual light guide section. This bundles the light and thus further optimizes the light output.
  • both the production, for example in an injection molding process, and the assembly of the convex lenses are particularly simple if the convex lenses are advantageously connected to one another to form a single convex lens component.
  • a further structural simplification and reduction in the number of components results according to another advantageous development of the invention if a convex lens is connected to a single component to form a single component. This can be achieved, for example, by spraying the convex lenses onto the individual light sources in an injection molding process or by placing them in another way, e.g. B. by casting with epoxy resin.
  • any translucent image as a display.
  • a variable information display in a compact display device which can also be produced inexpensively in large series and has a high durability, it is of particular advantage, however, if the display has a translucent LCD.
  • the light guide consists of a transparent, light-conducting plastic.
  • PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
  • the light guide has very good optical properties.
  • a particularly low-loss light guide results in the first solution if, according to another advantageous development of the invention, the individual light guide sections are designed as fingers with an approximately constant cross-sectional area.
  • the light yield can be further improved if, according to another advantageous development of the invention, in the first embodiment the individual light guide sections have a convex lens on their light entry side facing the light source.
  • the light bundling and thus also the light yield is additionally advantageously improved if the light guide in the first solution is convexly curved on the light exit side facing the display.
  • the light guide can advantageously have convex lens elements on its light exit side facing the display, the convex lens elements elements are each assigned to a light guide section. This enables a particularly good coordination of light guide sections and convex lens elements.
  • a particularly light light guide for which only a small amount of material is required, and at the same time very low-loss light conduction, is advantageously present when a first central connecting straight line between a first convex lens element on the light exit side and a corresponding first convex lens element on the light entry side, and a second centric one Straight lines between a second convex lens element on the light exit side and a corresponding second convex lens element on the light entry side of the light guide are arranged at an angle to one another.
  • the display device can basically have any display.
  • it is particularly advantageous if it comprises a head-up display in a motor vehicle, since the advantages of the high luminous efficacy, the small installation space and the low heat radiation are particularly evident.
