FIG. 1 is a plan view of a light guide plate 2 of a light source according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the side of a fluorescent scattering layer 3. The light guide plate 2 is made of, for example, a transparent material such as acrylic or glass, and the blue LED 1 is embedded in an end surface of the light guide plate 2 so that the light guide plate 2 and the blue LED 1 are optically connected. In the present invention, that the blue LED 1 and the end face of the light guide plate 2 are optically connected means that light of the blue LED is introduced from the end face of the light guide plate 2 in a simple manner. The blue LED 1 is buried, as shown in FIG. 2, and the blue LED is adhered to the end face of the light guide plate 2 using an optical fiber or the like.
This can be realized by guiding D emission.

Next, the fluorescent scattering layer 3 is coated with an ink prepared by mixing a fluorescent substance and a white pigment so that a desired color can be observed. The fluorescent light is scattered in the light guide plate 2 by a white pigment. In particular, in FIG. 1, the fluorescence scattering layer 3 is formed in a dot shape, and the fluorescence scattering per unit area on the second main surface side as approaching the blue LED 1 so that the surface luminance on the first main surface side becomes constant. The pattern is such that the area of the layer 3 is reduced, and the area of the end of the second main surface farthest from the blue LED 1 is slightly smaller than the maximum area. Here, the black square in FIG. 1 represents the pattern of the fluorescent scattering layer 3. Although FIG. 1 shows a structure in which two blue LEDs are arranged on one end face, it is needless to say that LEDs may be connected to all four end faces if the light guide plate is square, and the number of LEDs is also limited. It does not do.
Further, the application shape and application state of the fluorescent scattering layer can be appropriately changed so that the light emission observed from the first main surface side is made uniform in a plane depending on the arrangement of the LEDs.

FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view showing a case where the light source according to the embodiment of the present invention is mounted as, for example, a backlight of a liquid crystal panel.

And a light diffusing plate 5 having an uneven surface on the first main surface side. It does not change.

First, as shown by the arrow in FIG.
Light emitted from 1 is partially radiated outside the light guide plate near the chip, but most of the light reaches the end face of the light guide plate while repeating total reflection in the light guide plate 2. The light that reaches the end face is reflected by the reflection film 4 formed on the entire end face, and repeats total reflection. At this time, a part of the light is scattered by the fluorescent scattering layer 3 provided on the second main surface side of the light guide plate 2, and a part of the light is absorbed by the fluorescent substance, and the wavelength is simultaneously converted and emitted. The emission color observed from the first main surface side of the light plate 2 can be obtained by combining these lights. For example, in the planar light source provided with the fluorescent scattering layer 3 made of an orange fluorescent pigment and a white pigment, the emission color of the blue LED can be observed as white due to the above-described operation. Further, the color tone can be arbitrarily adjusted by the kind of the fluorescent substance and the mixing ratio of the white pigment. In particular, in the present invention, the emission wavelength of one blue LED has a main emission peak shorter than 500 nm, and the emission output thereof is 200 μW
As described above, more preferably, an output of 300 μW or more is required. If the emission wavelength is 500 nm or more, it is difficult to realize all colors, and the emission output is 200 μW
If the number is smaller than that, even if the number of blue LEDs optically connected to the end face of the light guide plate is increased, it tends to be difficult to obtain a light source of planar light emission with sufficient brightness and uniformity.
