Description

本発明は、発光装置並びにそれを構成する発光板及び支持体に関する。   The present invention relates to a light emitting device, and a light emitting plate and a support constituting the light emitting device.

近年、エレクトロルミネッセンス(EL)等を利用した薄型の平面発光シートや発光パネルが提案されている。例えば薄型の発光シートであれば、従来のランプや蛍光灯と違い、例えば、ファイルに挟んで保管したり、パスケースやポケットに入れて持ち運んだり、葉書として郵送したりするなど、様々な取扱方法が可能となる。   In recent years, thin flat light emitting sheets and light emitting panels using electroluminescence (EL) or the like have been proposed. For example, if it is a thin luminescent sheet, unlike conventional lamps and fluorescent lamps, various handling methods such as storing in a file, carrying it in a pass case or pocket, mailing it as a postcard, etc. Is possible.

例えば、可撓性基板に有機EL素子を形成したパネルを剛性の支持部材に固定し、支持部材の差し込み部を専用のソケットに差し込んで使用する薄型の発光パネルが提案されている(例えば特許文献1参照)。この発光パネルは、支持部材の差し込み部とソケットの内壁に、それぞれ左右対称の一対の接続端子が設けられており、接続端子が接触することでソケットを介して電流が供給され、パネルが発光する。また、長尺のソケットに設けたスリットの内部に5つの接続端子がソケットの長手方向に並ぶように配置され、このソケットにEL素子を設けた複数の発光シートを装着して個別に発光させることも可能な発光シートが提案されている(例えば特許文献2参照)。   For example, a thin light-emitting panel is proposed in which a panel in which an organic EL element is formed on a flexible substrate is fixed to a rigid support member, and the insertion portion of the support member is inserted into a dedicated socket (for example, Patent Documents). 1). In this light emitting panel, a pair of symmetrical connection terminals are provided on the insertion part of the support member and the inner wall of the socket, respectively. When the connection terminals come into contact with each other, current is supplied through the socket, and the panel emits light. . In addition, five connection terminals are arranged inside the slit provided in the long socket so as to be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the socket, and a plurality of light emitting sheets provided with EL elements are attached to the socket to emit light individually. A luminescent sheet that can also be used has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Further, since the power supply terminals 34 and 36 are continuously formed in the groove portion 32 of the socket 30 along the length direction (Y2 direction), the degree of freedom of the mounting position of the light emitting sheet 10 is large. Therefore, the light emitting sheet 10 can be mounted in the groove portion 32 of the socket 30 without paying special attention, and the mounting portion 18 of the light emitting sheet 10 is locked at an arbitrary position of the groove portion 32 to emit light. Can do.

また、発光シート10のサイズの自由度も大きく、様々なサイズの発光シートを1つのソケット30で共用することができる。例えば図5に示すように、1つのソケット30に、任意のサイズの2つの発光シート10,20、あるいは3つ以上の発光シートを装着して同時に発光させることも可能となる。
このように本実施形態に係る発光シート10とソケット30とを組み合わせた発光装置では、取扱いが簡便となる。
Further, the degree of freedom of the size of the light emitting sheet 10 is large, and various sizes of light emitting sheets can be shared by one socket 30. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, two light emitting sheets 10 and 20 of an arbitrary size, or three or more light emitting sheets can be attached to one socket 30 to emit light simultaneously.
Thus, in the light emitting device that combines the light emitting sheet 10 and the socket 30 according to the present embodiment, handling becomes simple.

‐第2実施形態-
図6に示す第2実施形態に係る発光装置では、ソケット30の溝部32の対向する内壁面のうち、片面にのみ一対の電源端子34,36が形成されている。発光シート10の構成は、第1実施形態のものと同様である。このような組み合わせであれば、発光シート10の電極端子14,16とソケット30の溝部32内の電源端子34,36とが接触するように発光シート10の向きを合わせてソケット30の溝部32に装着すればよい。なお、溝部32内の電源端子34,36はクッション部材38を介して設けられており、対向する内壁面にもクッション部材38が設けられている。従って、この形態でも、クッション部材38の弾力性によって発光シート10の着脱を容易に行うことができるほか、発光シート10の電極端子14,16とソケット30の電源端子34,36との電気的な接続が確保されるとともに、装着した発光シート10を安定して支持することができる。
-Second embodiment-
In the light emitting device according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a pair of power supply terminals 34 and 36 is formed only on one side of the inner wall surfaces facing the groove 32 of the socket 30. The configuration of the light emitting sheet 10 is the same as that of the first embodiment. In such a combination, the light emitting sheet 10 is oriented so that the electrode terminals 14 and 16 of the light emitting sheet 10 and the power supply terminals 34 and 36 in the groove 32 of the socket 30 are in contact with each other. Just install it. In addition, the power supply terminals 34 and 36 in the groove part 32 are provided via the cushion member 38, and the cushion member 38 is also provided on the opposing inner wall surface. Therefore, also in this embodiment, the light emitting sheet 10 can be easily attached and detached by the elasticity of the cushion member 38, and the electrical connection between the electrode terminals 14 and 16 of the light emitting sheet 10 and the power terminals 34 and 36 of the socket 30 is achieved. Connection is ensured and the mounted light emitting sheet 10 can be stably supported.

‐第3実施形態‐
図7に示す第3実施形態に係る発光装置では、発光シート10の装着部18の両面にそれぞれ一対の電極端子14,16が形成されている。ソケット30の構成は、第2実施形態のものと同様である。例えば、発光シート10の各面にそれぞれ形成されている一対の電極端子14,16が同一の発光素子に接続していれば、いずれか一方の面に形成されている電極端子14,16を電源端子34,36と接続させて発光させることができる。あるいは、プラスチック等の基板11の両面にそれぞれ発光素子を形成して別々の回路を介して発光する発光シートにすれば、いずれか一方の面の発光素子を選択的に発光させることも可能である。
-Third embodiment-
In the light emitting device according to the third embodiment shown in FIG. 7, a pair of electrode terminals 14 and 16 are formed on both surfaces of the mounting portion 18 of the light emitting sheet 10. The configuration of the socket 30 is the same as that of the second embodiment. For example, if a pair of electrode terminals 14 and 16 formed on each surface of the light emitting sheet 10 are connected to the same light emitting element, the electrode terminals 14 and 16 formed on either surface are connected to the power source. It can be connected to the terminals 34 and 36 to emit light. Alternatively, if light emitting elements are formed on both surfaces of the substrate 11 such as plastic to form a light emitting sheet that emits light through separate circuits, the light emitting elements on either surface can be selectively made to emit light. .

‐第4実施形態‐
図8に示す第4実実施形態に係る発光装置では、第3実施形態に係る発光シート10と、第1実施形態に係るソケット30とを組み合わせたものであり、発光シート10の装着部18の両面にそれぞれ一対の電極端子14,16が形成され、ソケット30の溝部32において対向する内壁面の両面にそれぞれ一対の電源端子34,36が形成されている。このような組み合わせであれば、例えば、前記したような両面にそれぞれ発光素子を形成した発光シートを両面で同時に発光させることができる。
-Fourth embodiment-
The light emitting device according to the fourth actual embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is a combination of the light emitting sheet 10 according to the third embodiment and the socket 30 according to the first embodiment. A pair of electrode terminals 14 and 16 are formed on both surfaces, and a pair of power supply terminals 34 and 36 are formed on both surfaces of the inner wall surface facing each other in the groove 32 of the socket 30. With such a combination, for example, a light-emitting sheet in which light-emitting elements are formed on both sides as described above can simultaneously emit light on both sides.

また、発光シート10の電極端子14,16の形状やソケット30の電源端子34,36の形状は特に限定されず、適宜選択することができる。
例えば、第1〜第4実施形態では、発光シート10の電極端子14,16は、発光シート10の装着部18において凹部となっているが、図9に示すように凸部となっていてもよい。
Moreover, the shape of the electrode terminals 14 and 16 of the light emitting sheet 10 and the shape of the power terminals 34 and 36 of the socket 30 are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected.
For example, in the first to fourth embodiments, the electrode terminals 14 and 16 of the light emitting sheet 10 are concave portions in the mounting portion 18 of the light emitting sheet 10, but may be convex portions as shown in FIG. Good.

また、発光シート10の同一面に形成されている電極端子14,16は、装着部18の高さ方向に間隙を有するように別の段に形成されていればよく、各電極端子14,16の長さは特に限定されない。ただし、各電極端子14,16が長過ぎると、発光シート10を着脱する際、発光シート10が斜めになって、一方の電極端子(陽極端子又は陰極端子)が、ソケット30の両方の電源端子34,36と同時に接触してショートするおそれがあるため、各電極端子14,16は、例えば、装着部18の長さ(図1におけるX2方向の長さ)の半分以下とすることが好ましい。また、同じ理由で、各電極端子14,16は、X2方向の端部ではなく中央部近傍に設けることが好ましい。   Further, the electrode terminals 14 and 16 formed on the same surface of the light emitting sheet 10 may be formed in different stages so as to have a gap in the height direction of the mounting portion 18. The length of is not particularly limited. However, if each of the electrode terminals 14 and 16 is too long, when the light emitting sheet 10 is attached or detached, the light emitting sheet 10 is inclined and one electrode terminal (anode terminal or cathode terminal) is the power supply terminal of both of the sockets 30. Since there is a possibility of short-circuiting due to contact with 34 and 36 simultaneously, each electrode terminal 14 and 16 is preferably, for example, not more than half of the length of the mounting portion 18 (the length in the X2 direction in FIG. 1). For the same reason, it is preferable that each of the electrode terminals 14 and 16 is provided in the vicinity of the central portion instead of the end portion in the X2 direction.

また、例えば図10に示すように、各電極端子14,16を、装着部18の高さ方向(X1の方向)のみならず、幅方向(X2の方向)にも位置をずらして設けてもよい。但し、電極端子14,16間の幅方向における距離が大きくなるほど、発光シート10の着脱時のショートが生じ易くなるため、各電極端子14,16の幅方向のずれはできるだけ小さい方が好ましい。
なお、電極端子対14,16の高さ方向の間隙Gは発光シート10のサイズ等に応じて適宜設定すればよいが、間隙Gが狭すぎるとショートが生じ易くなり、広すぎると装着部18が大きくなる分、発光領域22が小さくなるため、0.1mm〜1cm程度の範囲とすればよい。
For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the electrode terminals 14 and 16 may be provided with their positions shifted in the width direction (X2 direction) as well as the height direction (X1 direction) of the mounting portion 18. Good. However, as the distance in the width direction between the electrode terminals 14 and 16 increases, a short circuit is more likely to occur when the light emitting sheet 10 is attached / detached. Therefore, the displacement in the width direction of the electrode terminals 14 and 16 is preferably as small as possible.
The gap G in the height direction of the electrode terminal pairs 14 and 16 may be set as appropriate according to the size of the light emitting sheet 10 and the like. However, if the gap G is too narrow, a short circuit is likely to occur. Since the light emitting region 22 is reduced by the increase in the thickness, it may be in the range of about 0.1 mm to 1 cm.

一方、ソケット30の溝部32内に設ける電源端子34,36に関しては、溝部32の長さ方向(図1におけるY2の方向)に不連続に形成され、かつ、電気的に接続している構成としてもよい。例えば、図11に示すように、同極の電源端子を溝部32の長手方向に分割された板バネ形状とし、各板バネ36Aを配線33で繋いで電気的に接続させる。分割されている各電源端子36Aの幅は限定されず、例えば数mm〜数cmの幅となるように適宜設計すればよい。このように同じ段に形成される同極の電源端子をそれぞれ分割させるとともに、押圧手段を組み合わせた構成とすれば、厚みの異なる複数の発光シートを装着しても、各発光シートの装着部の厚みに応じて個々の電源端子36Aが可動するので、各シートの電極端子14,16と確実に接触して発光させることができる。   On the other hand, the power supply terminals 34 and 36 provided in the groove 32 of the socket 30 are formed discontinuously in the length direction of the groove 32 (direction Y2 in FIG. 1) and are electrically connected. Also good. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the power supply terminals having the same polarity are formed in a leaf spring shape divided in the longitudinal direction of the groove portion 32, and the leaf springs 36 </ b> A are connected by the wiring 33 to be electrically connected. The width of each divided power supply terminal 36A is not limited, and may be appropriately designed to have a width of several mm to several cm, for example. In this way, by dividing the same-polarity power terminals formed in the same stage and combining the pressing means, even if a plurality of light-emitting sheets having different thicknesses are mounted, Since each power supply terminal 36A is movable according to the thickness, it is possible to emit light by reliably contacting the electrode terminals 14 and 16 of each sheet.

また、分割された電源端子の形態に特に限定されず、例えば、図12に示すように、球状の電源端子36Bをバネ39で支持し、球36Bの一部を外枠35から露出させた構成としてもよい。また、図13に示すように、分割された電源端子36Cが硬質スポンジやゴムなどのクッション部材38に設けられていてもよい。   The form of the divided power supply terminals is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, a spherical power supply terminal 36B is supported by a spring 39, and a part of the sphere 36B is exposed from the outer frame 35. It is good. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 13, the divided | segmented power supply terminal 36C may be provided in cushion members 38, such as hard sponge and rubber | gum.

また、発光シート10に設ける電極端子は2段に限定されず、発光シート10の装着部18の少なくとも片面に、一対の電極端子14,16を含めて電極端子が3段以上に形成されており、発光素子を駆動する回路が2回路以上形成されていてもよい。例えば、図14に示すように、発光シート10Aの面内に2つの独立した発光領域A,Bを設け、各発光領域A,Bの発光素子がそれぞれ独立して発光するように、2つの発光領域A,Bにそれぞれ対応した電極端子対14a,16a,14b,16bと回路をそれぞれ形成する。ここで、発光領域Aの発光素子に接続する電極端子対14a,16aのうち上段に位置する電極端子16aと、発光領域Bの発光素子に接続する電極端子対14b,16bのうちの下段に位置する電極端子16bを同極(図14では陰極)とすることで、これらの電極端子16a,16bは同じ段(高さ)に設けることができる。
なお、2層以上の発光素子が積層するように発光シートを構成して、各発光素子が独立して発光するように各電極端子を異なる段に形成してもよい。さらに、2層以上の発光素子を形成するとともに、2パターン以上の発光領域を有する発光シートとすることもできる。
The electrode terminals provided on the light emitting sheet 10 are not limited to two stages, and the electrode terminals including the pair of electrode terminals 14 and 16 are formed in three or more stages on at least one surface of the mounting portion 18 of the light emitting sheet 10. Two or more circuits for driving the light emitting element may be formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, two light emitting areas A and B are provided in the surface of the light emitting sheet 10A, and two light emitting elements are used so that the light emitting elements in the light emitting areas A and B emit light independently. Circuits are formed with electrode terminal pairs 14a, 16a, 14b, and 16b corresponding to the regions A and B, respectively. Here, the electrode terminal 16a located on the upper stage of the electrode terminal pair 14a, 16a connected to the light emitting element in the light emitting region A, and the lower stage of the electrode terminal pair 14b, 16b connected to the light emitting element on the light emitting area B. By making the electrode terminal 16b to be the same polarity (cathode in FIG. 14), these electrode terminals 16a and 16b can be provided in the same step (height).
Note that the light-emitting sheet may be configured such that two or more light-emitting elements are stacked, and each electrode terminal may be formed in a different stage so that each light-emitting element emits light independently. Furthermore, a light-emitting sheet having two or more layers of light-emitting elements and having two or more patterns of light-emitting regions can be formed.

ソケット30の溝部32に設ける電源端子も2段に限定されず、ソケット30の溝部32において対向する内壁面の少なくとも片面に、一対の電源端子34,36を含めて電源端子が3段以上に形成されており、発光シート10Aの発光素子用の回路が2回路以上形成されていてもよい。例えば、図14に示したような2パターンの発光領域A,Bを有する発光シート10を使用する場合には、図15に示すように、溝部32において対向する内壁面の少なくとも片面に、発光シートの各段の電極端子14a,16a,16b,14bに対応した3段の電源端子34,36,37が形成され、各発光素子(発光領域A,B)用の2つの回路が形成されているソケット30Aを用いることができる。このような組み合わせにより、発光シート10Aの各発光領域A,Bを独立して発光させることができる。なお、発光シート10Aの2組の電極端子対14a,16a,16b,14bのうちそれぞれ一方の組に対応した2種類のソケットを用意して、発光させたい発光領域に応じてソケットを交換してもよい。   The power supply terminals provided in the groove portion 32 of the socket 30 are not limited to two stages, and the power supply terminals including the pair of power supply terminals 34 and 36 are formed in three or more stages on at least one side of the opposing inner wall surface in the groove portion 32 of the socket 30. In addition, two or more circuits for the light emitting element of the light emitting sheet 10A may be formed. For example, when the light emitting sheet 10 having two patterns of the light emitting areas A and B as shown in FIG. 14 is used, the light emitting sheet is provided on at least one of the inner wall surfaces facing each other in the groove 32 as shown in FIG. Are provided with three stages of power supply terminals 34, 36, and 37 corresponding to the electrode terminals 14a, 16a, 16b, and 14b, and two circuits for each light emitting element (light emitting regions A and B) are formed. A socket 30A can be used. With such a combination, the light emitting areas A and B of the light emitting sheet 10A can be caused to emit light independently. It should be noted that two types of sockets corresponding to one set of the two electrode terminal pairs 14a, 16a, 16b, and 14b of the light emitting sheet 10A are prepared, and the sockets are exchanged according to the light emitting area desired to emit light. Also good.

また、発光シート10の装着部18に、発光素子と接続する一対の電極端子14,16とは別の端子が形成されており、ソケット30の溝部32において対向する内壁面の少なくとも片面に、発光シートの前記別の端子に対応する端子が形成されている発光装置とすることもできる。例えば、図14に示した発光シート10Aの2組の電極端子対14a,16a,14b,16bは全て発光素子と接続しているが、このような2組の電極端子対14a,16a,14b,16bのうち1組の電極端子対は発光素子用ではなく、例えば、制御信号端子用、音声信号端子用等、発光素子以外の機能に適用し、ソケット30Aの溝部32にもそれらの端子に対応した別の端子を形成すればよい。   In addition, a terminal other than the pair of electrode terminals 14 and 16 connected to the light emitting element is formed on the mounting portion 18 of the light emitting sheet 10, and light is emitted on at least one side of the inner wall surface facing the groove portion 32 of the socket 30. A light emitting device in which terminals corresponding to the other terminals of the sheet are formed can also be provided. For example, the two sets of electrode terminal pairs 14a, 16a, 14b, and 16b of the light emitting sheet 10A shown in FIG. 14 are all connected to the light emitting element, but such two sets of electrode terminal pairs 14a, 16a, 14b, One set of electrode terminals of 16b is not for light emitting elements, but is applied to functions other than light emitting elements, such as for control signal terminals and audio signal terminals, and the grooves 32 of the socket 30A also correspond to those terminals. Another terminal may be formed.

また、例えば、発光素子として無機EL素子を用いる場合、交流駆動させることに起因して振動や雑音が生じ易いという問題がある。このような振動の発生を抑制するため、一対の電極のうちの一方の電極との間に絶縁層を介して補償電極を設け、対向する電極間にそれぞれ逆位相の交流電圧を印加することで発生する振動を相殺する方法が知られている(例えば、特開2005−116284号公報参照)。このような補償電極を備えた無機EL素子を有する発光シートとする場合には、陽極及び陰極用の電極端子対14,16及び電源端子対34,36のほかに、発光シート10には補償電極用の電極端子を、ソケット30の溝部32にはそれに対応した電源端子をそれぞれ別の段に設ける。そして、対向する各電極間にかける交流電源の位相をずらすことで振動や雑音の低減を図ることができる。   Further, for example, when an inorganic EL element is used as the light emitting element, there is a problem that vibration and noise are likely to occur due to AC driving. In order to suppress the occurrence of such vibration, a compensation electrode is provided between one of the pair of electrodes via an insulating layer, and an AC voltage having an opposite phase is applied between the opposing electrodes. A method for canceling the generated vibration is known (see, for example, JP-A-2005-116284). In the case of a light emitting sheet having an inorganic EL element having such a compensation electrode, in addition to the electrode terminal pairs 14 and 16 and the power supply terminal pairs 34 and 36 for the anode and cathode, the light emitting sheet 10 includes a compensation electrode. Electrode terminals, and corresponding power terminals are provided in the grooves 32 of the socket 30 in different stages. And the vibration and noise can be reduced by shifting the phase of the AC power source applied between the opposing electrodes.

以上のような本発明に係る発光装置の用途は特に限定されず、例えば、照明として使用できるほか、発光シートの発光面に透明なポケットを設け、透明なフィルムにプリントした写真、絵、カレンダー、食堂のメニュー等を前記ポケットに入れるなどして使用してもよい。   The use of the light emitting device according to the present invention as described above is not particularly limited. For example, the light emitting device can be used as illumination, and a transparent pocket is provided on the light emitting surface of the light emitting sheet, and a photograph, picture, calendar, printed on a transparent film, You may use the menu etc. of the cafeteria in the said pocket.

Further, the support is not limited to the term “socket”, and may be a blanket, a fixture, or the like as long as it can support the light emitting plate and supply current.
