本発明は,看板,ディスプレイ,表示板,照明パネル等の大判背面照明装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a large-format backside illumination device such as a signboard, a display, a display board, and an illumination panel.

この種の導光パネルを用いた背面照明装置は,例えば液晶バックライト,看板,ディスプレイ等に広く使用されており,例えば下記特許文献1は,一対の支柱によって自立配置するようにした表示板に係り,該表示板は,導光パネルと,該導光パネルの対向する両端にそれぞれ隣接して長手方向に多数配置したLED光源と,導光パネルの背面に配置した反射板と,上記導光パネルの出光面側に積層配置した背面照明フィルム貼着の表示パネルとを備えたものとされ,このとき導光パネルは,その肉厚を約1cmとしたアクリル透明板の表面に密度変調したドットによる導光パタンをスクリーン印刷して形成したものとする一方,LED光源は白色のものとして,導光パネルのドット面を覆うように該LED光源の演色性補正フィルターを配置することによって,背面照明フィルムの色再現性を可及的に向上したものとされている。   Backlighting devices using this type of light guide panel are widely used in, for example, liquid crystal backlights, signboards, displays, and the like.

この場合,上記演色補正フィルターによって色再現性を良好とした背面照明装置を得ることができるが,図1によれば背面照明装置は,その横幅を1m程度,縦長さを1m以下とした正面矩形を呈するものとされるところ,この程度に大きな面積の背面照明装置においては,その照明輝度を,例えば看板における如くに遠方からも視認し得る程度に充分に高輝度のものとすることは必ずしも容易ではない。この場合,導光パネルの肉厚を1cm程度としたものとされるが,導光パタンによって入射光の導光は光源からの距離に反比例するように消費されるところ,肉厚を厚くすれば導光パネル内の入射光の乱反射を促進する結果,ある程度の照明輝度を確保することは可能となるから,比較的近くで照明フィルムを背面照明する用途のこの種の表示板にあっては,背面照明を障害のない程度の照明輝度によって行なうことが一応可能となるが,該背面照明装置の照明輝度を向上したり,例えば横幅や高さを数mといった如き大判の背面照明装置とするには,導光パネルの肉厚を2cm乃至それ以上とするとともに入射光供給のLED光源を導光パネルの肉厚方向に複数列のダブル配置を行なう等の輝度向上措置を必要とすることになり,背面照明装置が一層厚くなるという問題点が生じる。   In this case, a back lighting device with good color reproducibility can be obtained by the color rendering correction filter.

As a result of promoting the diffuse reflection of incident light in the light guide panel, it is possible to ensure a certain level of illumination brightness. Although it is possible to perform back-lighting with an illumination brightness that does not cause any obstacles, it is possible to improve the back-lighting brightness of the back-lighting device, or to make a large-sized back-lighting device with a width or height of several meters, for example. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures for improving the brightness such as the light guide panel having a thickness of 2 cm or more and the LED light source for supplying incident light being arranged in a plurality of rows in the thickness direction of the light guide panel. , Backlighting Location is a problem arises that even becomes thicker.

The set brightness is ensured. By adopting such a method for securing the set brightness, the width setting of the light guide panel 12 is set as the brightness adjusting means on the premise of the brightness and number of the LED light sources 13, and also in the back lighting device A having the same illumination surface, Considering the purpose of outdoor, indoor, and back lighting, etc., it is possible to easily and reliably realize and ensure different illumination brightness depending on the application.

本例の背面照明装置Aにあっては,上記LED光源13を配置した対向する両端間の幅の拡縮調整によって,図上の縦長さ(高さ)2m強を3区分し,LED光源非配置の対向する両端間の幅を,その板取りや輸送,設置作業の事情を考慮して図上の横幅3.3mを同じく3区分した,縦横各3区分の合計9つの導光単位1を,面方向に3つづつ並列及び直列に配置してあり,該導光単位1は,その図上の横幅を,例えば104cm,縦長さを67cmとするとともに肉厚を可及的に薄肉の5mmとした,それぞれ同等の幅,長さ,肉厚を有する同等面積の平面矩形をなす各導光パネル12を用い,該導光パネル12に,その一方の対向する上記104cmの長辺側,即ち図上の上下両端にLED光源13をそれぞれ配置し,該LED光源13によって各導光パネル12に対して入射光を供給するようにしてあり,このとき本例の導光単位1は,これをそれぞれ基板又はケース11に配置して照明面と同等面積の底板3又はハウジングに配置したものとしてある。   In the back lighting device A of this example, the vertical length (height) in the figure is slightly divided into three by adjusting the width between the opposing ends where the LED light source 13 is disposed, and the LED light source is not disposed. The total width of the light guide unit 1 is divided into three vertical and horizontal sections, each of which is divided into three horizontal widths of 3.3 m, taking into account the situation of planing, transportation, and installation work. Three light guide units 1 are arranged in parallel and in series in the surface direction. The light guide unit 1 has a lateral width of 104 cm, a vertical length of 67 cm, for example, and a thickness of 5 mm, which is as thin as possible. Each of the light guide panels 12 having the same area, planar rectangle having the same width, length, and thickness is used, and the light guide panel 12 is opposed to the long side of the above-mentioned 104 cm, that is, the figure. LED light sources 13 are respectively disposed on the upper and lower ends of the LED light source 1. In this case, the light guide unit 1 of this example is arranged on the substrate or the case 11 and the bottom plate 3 having the same area as the illumination surface is provided. It is assumed that it is arranged in the housing.

導光パネル12は,常法に従ってアクリル透明板に導光パタン,例えばLED光源側を疎,LED光源間の中央位置を密とするように密度変調して,スクリーン印刷,射出成形又は機械加工によってアクリル透明板の裏面に形成配置したドット,ヘアライン,網目等の導光パタン(図示省略)を備えたものとしてある。   The light guide panel 12 is formed by density modulation so that the light guide pattern, for example, the LED light source side is sparse and the center position between the LED light sources is dense, on an acrylic transparent plate according to a conventional method, and screen printing, injection molding or machining A light guide pattern (not shown) such as dots, hairlines, and meshes formed and arranged on the back surface of the acrylic transparent plate is provided.

このとき本例の導光単位1は,そのLED光源13の臨設配置を,該導光単位1の導光パネル12における該対向する両端を導光パネル12に交差する入射端面121とし,該入射端面121にLEDチップを臨設して導光パネル12に入射光を供給するとともに該LEDチップの照明面側をシート乃至フィルム等の半透明材131によって被覆して減光措置を施したものとしてある。   At this time, in the light guide unit 1 of this example, the LED light source 13 is disposed in an adjacent manner with the opposite ends of the light guide panel 12 of the light guide unit 1 as incident end surfaces 121 intersecting the light guide panel 12. An LED chip is provided on the end surface 121 to supply incident light to the light guide panel 12 and the illumination surface side of the LED chip is covered with a translucent material 131 such as a sheet or a film to reduce light. .

本例にあって導光パネル12の上記入射端面121は,例えば該導光パネル12に直交配置し,図上において垂直面をなすように形成してある一方,上記LEDチップは,高輝度チップをチップ基板に長手方向直列の一列に多数配置したものを用い,該チップ基板をケース11の起立壁111の内壁に,例えば接着等の固定手段によって固定して,上記導光パネル12の入射端面121にその長手方向に多数の高輝度チップを近接して臨ませるように配置し,該導光パネル12の対向する長辺全長に亘って均一な入射光を供給するようにしてある。   In the present example, the incident end surface 121 of the light guide panel 12 is formed, for example, so as to be orthogonal to the light guide panel 12 and to form a vertical surface in the figure, while the LED chip is a high brightness chip. Are arranged on the chip substrate in a line in series in the longitudinal direction, and the chip substrate is fixed to the inner wall of the standing wall 111 of the case 11 by fixing means such as adhesion, and the incident end face of the light guide panel 12 is fixed. A number of high-luminance chips are arranged close to 121 in the longitudinal direction so as to supply uniform incident light over the entire length of the opposing long sides of the light guide panel 12.

本例において導光単位1のケース11は,アルミ,スチール等の放熱機能を発揮する金属材料を用いて形成してあり,該ケース11は,外周の起立壁111を導光パネル12の肉厚の5mmとして上向き開口の断面U字状とした照明装置中間配置用のものと,外周側に位置する1辺又は2辺の起立壁111を高く,例えば20mmとし,他の起立壁111を上記導光パネル12の肉厚の5mmとして同じく上向き開口の断面し字状とした照明装置端部用のものの2種類を用いて,それぞれ導光パネル12とLEDチップを収容して導光単位13を形成してある。   In this example, the case 11 of the light guide unit 1 is formed using a metal material that exhibits a heat radiation function, such as aluminum or steel, and the case 11 has an outer peripheral standing wall 111 that is thicker than the light guide panel 12. 5 mm of the lighting device intermediate arrangement with the U-shaped cross section of the upward opening and one or two upright standing walls 111 located on the outer peripheral side are set high, for example, 20 mm, and the other upstanding walls 111 are guided as described above. The light guide unit 13 is formed by accommodating the light guide panel 12 and the LED chip, respectively, by using two types of the light panel 12 having a wall thickness of 5 mm and having a cross-sectional shape with an upward opening. It is.

このときLEDチップは,その高輝度チップが,導光パネル12の入射端面121とケース11の内壁間の導光単位1近傍に露出し,該高輝度チップの直射光が導光パネル12の輝度より明るく照明面に到達して照明面に,例えば筋状に出現するのを防止するように,例えばポリエステル乳白色シートやフィルムの如くに半透明材131を配置することによって該直射光による照明輝度の均一性阻害の可能性を解消してあり,本例にあって該半透明材131の配置は,例えばケース11における起立壁111の上端,上記照明装置端部用のケースにおける20mmの起立壁にあっては該起立壁の底面から5mmの中間と各導光パネル12の幅方向端部との間に該半透明材131を架設するように配置することによって,該LEDチップの被覆を行なってある。   At this time, the LED chip is exposed in the vicinity of the light guide unit 1 between the incident end face 121 of the light guide panel 12 and the inner wall of the case 11, and the direct light of the high brightness chip is emitted from the light guide panel 12. For example, a translucent material 131 such as a polyester milky white sheet or film is disposed so as to prevent the light from reaching the illumination surface and appearing on the illumination surface, for example, in the form of streaks. In this example, the arrangement of the translucent member 131 is arranged on, for example, the upper end of the standing wall 111 in the case 11 and the 20 mm standing wall in the case for the end of the lighting device. In this case, the semi-transparent material 131 is disposed so as to be bridged between the middle of 5 mm from the bottom surface of the standing wall and the width direction end of each light guide panel 12, thereby covering the LED chip. It is carried out.

このように形成した上記9つの導光単位1は,本例にあってそのケース11を隣接相互に5mm高さの起立壁111を対接するように上記底板3,同じく放熱機能を有する金属製の底板に載置固定することによって該底板3に一体化してある。   The nine light guide units 1 formed in this way are in this example, and the case 11 is made of a metal plate having the same heat dissipation function as the bottom plate 3 so that the upright walls 111 having a height of 5 mm are adjacent to each other. It is integrated with the bottom plate 3 by being mounted on the bottom plate.

このとき外周に20mm高さの起立壁111を形成した照明装置端部用のケース11の該起立壁111に上記一体の乳白パネル2を固定し,該乳白パネル2によって照明面を被覆してあり,該乳白パネル2は,これを被照明フィルム4の支持面をなすようにしてある。乳白パネル2は,アクリル,ポリエステル等に乳白化剤を添加し又は表面を粗面化して光拡散機能を付与した光透過性にして乳白半透明を呈するもの,例えば乳白アクリルを用いるとともに照明装置Aと同等面積の大判のものとしてあり,本例にあって該乳白パネル2は,その肉厚を比較的薄い2〜5mm程度,本例の該乳白パネル2は,その肉厚を3mmとしてある。   At this time, the integrated milk white panel 2 is fixed to the standing wall 111 of the case 11 for the end portion of the lighting device in which the standing wall 111 having a height of 20 mm is formed on the outer periphery, and the illumination surface is covered with the milk white panel 2. The milky white panel 2 is made to be a support surface of the illuminated film 4. The opalescent panel 2 is made of a light translucent material having a light diffusing function by adding a opacifying agent to acrylic, polyester or the like, or having a light diffusing function. The milk panel 2 in this example has a relatively thin wall thickness of about 2 to 5 mm, and the milk panel 2 in this example has a wall thickness of 3 mm.

該乳白パネル2は,面方向に配置した導光単位1における導光パネル12の出光面との間に離隔空間を介して,例えば大判背面照明装置Aの正面に載置固定することによって照明面を被覆してある。該離隔空間21は,一般に1〜2cm程度,特に0.7〜2.5cmとするのがよく,該離隔空間21が1cm程度,即ち0.7cmを下回ると,導光単位間の継ぎ目部分やLED光源の線が照明面に出現し易くなり,照明面の輝度の均一性が損なわれる可能性を招く一方,離隔空間21が2cm程度,即ち2.5cmを上回ると,LED光源13による導光単位1からの照明光が乳白パネル2に充分に届かなくなり,照明輝度が低下する可能性を招き,従って導光パネル12の肉厚を厚くしてLED光源13を複数列に配置する等の措置を必要として,不経済であるとともに厚さが増大するという好ましくない結果を招く。   The milky white panel 2 is placed on and fixed to the front surface of the large-sized backlight device A, for example, through a separation space between the light guide unit 12 arranged in the plane direction and the light output surface of the light guide panel 12. Is coated. The separation space 21 is generally about 1 to 2 cm, and particularly preferably 0.7 to 2.5 cm. When the separation space 21 is less than about 1 cm, that is, less than 0.7 cm, The line of the LED light source is likely to appear on the illumination surface, leading to the possibility that the luminance uniformity of the illumination surface is impaired. On the other hand, when the separation space 21 exceeds about 2 cm, that is, 2.5 cm, light guide by the LED light source 13 is performed. The illumination light from the unit 1 does not reach the milky panel 2 sufficiently, leading to a possibility that the illumination brightness is lowered. Therefore, measures such as increasing the thickness of the light guide panel 12 and arranging the LED light sources 13 in a plurality of rows, etc. Which is uneconomical and results in an undesirable increase in thickness.

本例にあって乳白パネル2の載置固定は,上記照明装置端部用のケース11の外周側に位置することによって照明装置外周を囲繞する起立壁111に一体のパネル受座22を形成し又はこれを設置し,該パネル受座22に該乳白パネル2の外周端部を支持するように行ってあり,本例にあっては該起立壁111に設置したパネル受座22に乳白パネル2を載置し,例えば接着,ネジ等の固定手段によって固定してある。なお乳白パネルの,例えば乳白アクリルの現状における最大の規格品は,3.3m×2mであるから,規格品を用いた場合背面照明装置Aはこの大きさの面積が最大となるところ,乳白パネルを規格品以外のものとすれば,その大きさは自由に設定できる。   In this example, the milky panel 2 is placed and fixed by forming an integrated panel seat 22 on the upright wall 111 surrounding the outer periphery of the lighting device by being positioned on the outer peripheral side of the case 11 for the end of the lighting device. Alternatively, it is installed so that the outer peripheral end of the milk panel 2 is supported on the panel seat 22. In this example, the milk panel 2 is placed on the panel seat 22 installed on the standing wall 111. Is fixed by fixing means such as bonding or screws. The maximum standard product of milk white panel, for example, milk white acrylic is 3.3 m × 2 m at present. Therefore, when the standard product is used, the backlight unit A has a maximum area of this size. If is a non-standard product, its size can be set freely.

図中5は,必要に応じて,乳白パネル2を支持面として該乳白パネル2に支持した被照明フィルム4を挟着するように該乳白パネル2に着脱自在に設置したアクリル,ポリカーボネート等の透明樹脂によるカバーパネルである。   In the figure, reference numeral 5 denotes transparent, such as acrylic or polycarbonate, which is detachably installed on the milk panel 2 so that the illuminated film 4 supported on the milk panel 2 is sandwiched with the milk panel 2 as a support surface. It is a cover panel made of resin.

本例の大判背面照明装置Aは,高輝度にして全体に高均一性を確保した好ましい形態のものとなし得たところ,導光単位1における導光パネル12の出光面との間に離隔空間22を配置したことによって,例えば離隔空間21を1cmとしたとき照明輝度は出光面の輝度より5%程度,2cmとしたとき10%弱程度低下するが,その導光パネル12に乳白パネル2を重ねた状態の輝度を測定したところ,2787Lx(3体の平均輝度),2cmの離隔空間を介した乳白パネル2における照明輝度は2524Lx(同)であった。因みに本例の大判照明装置Aと同面積の直下型(内照型)の背面照明装置にあっては,40W蛍光管を3列に配置して合計29本用いたとき,その輝度は3700Lxであり,消費電力は1160Wであるが,本例の大判照明装置Aは輝度において,これに幾分劣るも,その消費電力は397W/Hであるので,該消費電力を約1/3の省エネルギーのものとすることができる。   The large-sized back lighting device A of this example can be a preferable form having high luminance and ensuring high uniformity as a whole. As a result, the space between the light output surface of the light guide panel 12 in the light guide unit 1 is separated. For example, when the separation space 21 is 1 cm, the illumination luminance is about 5% lower than the luminance of the light-emitting surface, and when the separation space 21 is 2 cm, the luminance is lowered by about 10%. As a result of measuring the luminance in the overlapped state, the illumination luminance of the milky white panel 2 through the 2 cm separation space of 2787 Lx (average luminance of 3 bodies) was 2524 Lx (same as above). Incidentally, in the direct illumination (internal illumination type) back illumination device having the same area as the large format illumination device A of this example, when a total of 29 40 W fluorescent tubes are arranged and used, the luminance is 3700 Lx. Yes, the power consumption is 1160 W, but the large-format lighting device A of this example is somewhat inferior in brightness, but its power consumption is 397 W / H, so the power consumption is reduced to about 1/3 of energy saving. Can be.

図4及び図5は,他の例を示したもので,本例にあって大判背面照明装置Aは,例えば横幅を3m,縦長さ(高さ)を1.5m強とした照明面を有するものとしてあり,本例にあって該背面照明Aは,その照明面を2区分した2つの導光単位1を,面方向に2つ並列に配置してある。このとき該導光単位1は,上記照明面の縦長さを2区分した,横幅を,例えば3m,縦長さを0.75mとし,肉厚を10mmとした平面矩形をなす導光パネル12を用い,該導光パネル12に,その図上の一方の対向する長辺側の左右両端にLED光源13,同じくLEDチップをそれぞれ配置して同様にケース11に収容することによって形成し,同様に底板乃至ハウジング,本例にあっては底板3にこれら導光単位1を収納する一方,上記離隔空間21を,上記例より5mm縮小した15mmとして上記背面照明装置Aとしたものとしてある。   FIGS. 4 and 5 show other examples. In this example, the large-sized back lighting device A has an illumination surface with a horizontal width of 3 m and a vertical length (height) of just over 1.5 m, for example. In this example, the rear illumination A has two light guide units 1 each having two divided illumination surfaces arranged in parallel in the plane direction. At this time, the light guide unit 1 uses a light guide panel 12 having a rectangular shape in which the vertical length of the illumination surface is divided into two, the horizontal width is 3 m, the vertical length is 0.75 m, and the wall thickness is 10 mm. The light source panel 12 is formed by disposing LED light sources 13 and LED chips on the left and right ends of one opposing long side in the drawing and similarly housing the case 11 in the same manner. Through the housing, in this example, the light guide unit 1 is accommodated in the bottom plate 3, while the back-lighting device A is defined as 15 mm which is reduced by 5 mm from the above example in the separation space 21.

このとき本例にあって上記導光単位1のLED光源13の臨設配置は,これを,該導光単位1の導光パネル12における該対向する両端を出光面側に突条を配置した断面L字状の入射端面121とし,該入射端面121にLEDチップを収容臨設して導光パネル12に入射光を供給するとともに該LEDチップの照明面側を上記入射端面121の突条によって被覆して減光措置を施したものとしてある。   At this time, in the present example, the temporary arrangement of the LED light source 13 of the light guide unit 1 is a cross section in which protrusions are arranged on the light exit surface side at the opposite ends of the light guide panel 12 of the light guide unit 1. An L-shaped incident end surface 121 is provided, and an LED chip is accommodated and provided on the incident end surface 121 to supply incident light to the light guide panel 12, and the illumination surface side of the LED chip is covered by the protrusion of the incident end surface 121. As a result, the light has been reduced.

即ち本例の導光パネル12は,上記例の肉厚より厚い,例えば1cm程度,即ち0.8乃至1.2cmの押出成形乃至射出成形や成形後に後加工を施すことによって上記長辺側の左右両端に,上記LEDチップのチップ突出幅に応じて,これを収容する程度の下向き開口にして,本例にあってややS字状をなすように段差壁を傾斜形成した断面L字状の入射端面121を形成してあり,同様に,本例にあって上記導光パネル12の肉厚に合せた隣接側の起立壁111の内壁にチップ基板を固定することによってその収容臨設を行って同様に背面照明装置Aとしてある。その余は上記例と変らないので,同一符号を付して重複する説明を省略する。   That is, the light guide panel 12 of this example is thicker than the thickness of the above example, for example, about 1 cm, that is, 0.8 to 1.2 cm of extrusion molding or injection molding, and post-processing after the molding, The left and right ends have an L-shaped cross section in which stepped walls are inclined so as to form a slightly S shape in the present example, with downward openings to accommodate the LED chip's protruding width. Similarly, an incident end face 121 is formed, and in this example, the chip substrate is fixed to the inner wall of the upright wall 111 on the adjacent side according to the thickness of the light guide panel 12 to accommodate and arrange the chip substrate. Similarly, the backlight device A is provided. Since the remainder is not different from the above example, the same reference numerals are assigned and redundant description is omitted.

図6は,更に他の例を示したもので,本例にあって大判背面照明装置Aは,上記被照明フィルム4の支持面をなす一体の乳白パネル2に代えて,被照明用一体のFFシート6を展張配置したものとしてある。   FIG. 6 shows still another example. In this example, the large-sized back lighting device A replaces the integrated milky white panel 2 that forms the support surface of the film to be illuminated 4 and is integrated with the object to be illuminated. It is assumed that the FF sheet 6 is extended and arranged.

FFシート6は,不燃性のガラス繊維入りのものや難燃性の塩化ビニール製にして,例えばインクジェットによるプリントをしたものを用いて,導光単位1における導光パネル12の出光面から,同様に1〜2cm程度の離隔間隔21を介して該出光面の全面を被覆するように展張配置してある。該FFシート6の展張配置は,例えば上記と同様に照明装置端部用のケース11の外周を囲繞する起立壁111にシート受座61を形成し又はこれを設置し,該シート受座61に配置した溝に,シート押えバー62を嵌着し,該溝とバー62とによって展張したFFシート6の外周端部を溝内に挟着することによってこれを行ってある。その余は同じく上記図1乃至図3の例と変らないので,同一符号を付して重複する説明を省略する。   The FF sheet 6 is made of non-flammable glass fiber or made of flame retardant vinyl chloride, and is printed from the light guide panel 12 in the light guide unit 12 using, for example, an inkjet print. Are arranged so as to cover the entire surface of the light-emitting surface with a spacing 21 of about 1 to 2 cm. For example, the FF sheet 6 is extended and formed in the same manner as described above by forming or installing a seat seat 61 on the standing wall 111 surrounding the outer periphery of the case 11 for the end of the lighting device. This is done by fitting the sheet pressing bar 62 into the arranged groove and sandwiching the outer peripheral end of the FF sheet 6 stretched by the groove and the bar 62 into the groove. Since the remainder is the same as the example of FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 described above, the same reference numerals are assigned and redundant description is omitted.

これら図4及び図5,図6の例も,上記と同様に高輝度且つ高均一にして,大判背面照明装置Aとして好ましいものとなし得た。   These examples of FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 can also be made preferable as the large-sized back lighting device A by increasing the brightness and the uniformity as described above.

As long as the brightness can be uniformized by adjusting the light guide pattern, the distance of the LED light source so as to equalize the luminance due to the incident light from the peripheral LED light source, for example, opposite opposite ends of the light guide panel in which the LED light source is arranged A light guide unit is formed with different widths and different brightness and / or number of LED light sources depending on the width of the light guide panel, and the light guide unit is disposed on the bottom plate or the housing.
