Description
本発明は、液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットに関し、特に、光源に面発光フラットランプを使用した液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly to a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device using a surface emitting flat lamp as a light source.
近年、テレビやコンピュータの薄型の表示装置として、バックライト機構を備えた液晶表示装置が用いられている。 In recent years, liquid crystal display devices having a backlight mechanism have been used as thin display devices for televisions and computers.
ところで、従来、この種の液晶表示装置において用いられるバックライト機構としては、図7〜図8に示すように、透光性を有する導光板101の端部に、蛍光管のような線状光源104を併設するエッジライト方式が汎用されている(特許文献1参照)。
そして、このエッジライト方式の場合、通常は、導光板101の背面側に導光板101の材料よりも屈折率が大きい光拡散物質106を部分的に被覆し、その面のほぼ全面を光反射層103で覆い、導光板101の表面側に光拡散性の板又はシートを配置して光拡散層102を形成するようにしている。
しかしながら、液晶表示装置の大型化に伴い、エッジライト方式では、照度の不足、不均一が生じるほか、周辺に蛍光管のような線状光源を配設するため装置をコンパクト化できないという問題があった。
また、これに対処するため、光拡散部材の背面側に蛍光管のような線状光源を配設するようにした直下方式のバックライトも提案されている(特許文献2参照)が、特に大型の液晶表示装置の場合、照度の不足、不均一が生じないようにするために、多数の線状光源を配設するとともに、線状光源に対応してレンズフィルム等を配設する必要があり、これが、部品点数の増大や構造が複雑化して製造に手数を要し、製造コストが上昇するという問題があった。
In the case of this edge light system, normally, the light diffusion material 106 having a refractive index larger than that of the material of the light guide plate 101 is partially covered on the back side of the light guide plate 101, and almost the entire surface is covered with the light reflecting layer. 103, and a light diffusing plate or sheet is disposed on the surface side of the light guide plate 101 to form the light diffusing layer 102.
However, along with the increase in the size of liquid crystal display devices, the edge light system has problems such as insufficient and uneven illuminance and the fact that a linear light source such as a fluorescent tube is provided around the device, making it impossible to make the device compact. It was.
In order to cope with this, a direct-type backlight in which a linear light source such as a fluorescent tube is disposed on the back side of the light diffusing member has been proposed (see Patent Document 2). In the case of liquid crystal display devices, it is necessary to provide a large number of linear light sources and a lens film or the like corresponding to the linear light sources in order to prevent insufficient and uneven illumination. However, this has a problem that the number of parts is increased and the structure is complicated, which requires a lot of manufac- turing and increases the manufacturing cost.
本発明は、上記従来のバックライト機構の有する問題点に鑑み、光源に面発光フラットランプを使用することにより、大型の液晶表示装置の場合でも、照度の不足、不均一が生じないようにするとともに、光拡散部材の自重やフラットランプから発生する熱による光拡散部材の変形(撓み)を防止し、高品位の照明を行うことができ、かつ、部品点数が少なく、構造が簡易で製造に手数を要さず、製造コストを低廉にできる液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットを提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above-described problems of the conventional backlight mechanism, the present invention uses a surface-emitting flat lamp as a light source so that insufficient illuminance and non-uniformity do not occur even in the case of a large liquid crystal display device. In addition, the light diffusion member can be prevented from being deformed (bent) due to its own weight or heat generated from the flat lamp, and high-quality illumination can be performed. An object of the present invention is to provide a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device that can be manufactured at a low cost without requiring any labor.
上記目的を達成するため、本発明の液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットは、光源に面発光フラットランプを使用した液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットにおいて、フラットランプと光拡散部材との間に空気層を形成するとともに、前記光拡散部材を背面側から支持部材により支持するようにした液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットにおいて、面発光フラットランプの表面の凹部にリブ状の支持部材を立設して、光拡散部材を背面側から支持部材の頂点で光拡散部材を面状又は線状に支持するようにしたことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device of the present invention is a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device using a surface emitting flat lamp as a light source, and an air layer is provided between the flat lamp and the light diffusing member. In the backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device in which the light diffusing member is supported by the supporting member from the back side , a rib-shaped supporting member is erected in the concave portion on the surface of the surface emitting flat lamp, The light diffusing member is supported in a planar shape or a linear shape at the apex of the supporting member from the back side .
この場合において、支持部材を面発光フラットランプの表面に配設することができる。 In this case, the support member can be disposed on the surface of the surface emitting flat lamp.
また、支持部材を透明又は半透明の合成樹脂材料で形成することができる。 Further, the support member can be formed of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin material.
さらに、面発光フラットランプと光拡散部材との間隔を保持する外周フレームの内周面を背面側から表面側に向けて拡開する傾斜面に形成することができる。 Furthermore, the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral frame that maintains the distance between the surface-emitting flat lamp and the light diffusing member can be formed as an inclined surface that expands from the back side toward the front side.
本発明の液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットによれば、光源に面発光フラットランプを使用しているので、大型の液晶表示装置の場合でも、照度の不足、不均一が生じないようにすることができる。
また、面発光フラットランプと光拡散部材との間に空気層を形成するとともに、光拡散部材を背面側から支持部材により支持するようにしているので、光拡散部材の自重やフラットランプから発生する熱による光拡散部材の変形(撓み)を防止することができ、光源にフラットランプを使用したことと相俟って、高品位の照明を行うことができ、かつ、部品点数が少なく、構造が簡易で製造に手数を要さず、製造コストを低廉にできる。
そして、支持部材の頂点で光拡散部材を面状又は線状に支持するようにすることにより、支持部材による光拡散部材の支持面積を大きく取って光拡散部材をより確実に支持することができる。
According to the backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device of the present invention, since a surface emitting flat lamp is used as a light source, it is possible to prevent insufficient and uneven illuminance even in the case of a large liquid crystal display device. it can.
In addition, an air layer is formed between the surface emitting flat lamp and the light diffusing member, and the light diffusing member is supported by the supporting member from the back side, so that it is generated from the weight of the light diffusing member or the flat lamp. The deformation (bending) of the light diffusing member due to heat can be prevented, combined with the use of a flat lamp as the light source, high-quality illumination can be performed, the number of parts is small, and the structure It is simple and does not require labor, and can be manufactured at low cost.
Then, by supporting the light diffusing member in a planar or linear shape at the apex of the supporting member, it is possible to increase the support area of the light diffusing member by the supporting member and more reliably support the light diffusing member. .
また、支持部材を面発光フラットランプの表面に配設することにより、支持部材をフラットランプの形状等に拘束されることなく、任意の位置に配設することが可能となり、光拡散部材を支持部材により確実に支持することができる。 Further, by disposing the support member on the surface of the surface emitting flat lamp, the support member can be disposed at any position without being constrained by the shape of the flat lamp, and the light diffusion member is supported. It can be reliably supported by the member.
また、支持部材を透明又は半透明の合成樹脂材料で形成することにより、支持部材による照度の不均一が生じないようにすることができる。 In addition, by forming the support member with a transparent or translucent synthetic resin material, it is possible to prevent unevenness in illuminance due to the support member.
さらに、面発光フラットランプと光拡散部材との間隔を保持する外周フレームの内周面を背面側から表面側に向けて拡開する傾斜面に形成することにより、フラットランプの有効照射面積を実質的に拡大することができ、装置をコンパクト化できる。 Furthermore, the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral frame that maintains the distance between the surface-emitting flat lamp and the light diffusing member is formed on an inclined surface that expands from the back side to the front side, thereby substantially reducing the effective irradiation area of the flat lamp. The size of the apparatus can be reduced.
以下、本発明の液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットの実施の形態を、図面に基づいて説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
図1〜図6に、本発明の液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットの一実施例を示す。
この液晶表示装置用バックライトユニットは、光源として面状光源、具体的には、図6に示すような蛍光管からなる面発光フラットランプ1を使用し、このフラットランプ1と光拡散部材3との間に空気層2を形成するとともに、光拡散部材3を背面側から支持部材4により支持するように構成している。

1 to 6 show an embodiment of a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device of the present invention.
The backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device uses a planar light source as a light source, specifically, a surface emitting flat lamp 1 made of a fluorescent tube as shown in FIG. The air layer 2 is formed between them, and the light diffusion member 3 is supported by the support member 4 from the back side.
In addition, the surface emitting flat lamp 1 is used by combining one or a suitable number of flat lamps 1 according to the shape of the backlight unit for the liquid crystal display device.

支持部材4の形状及び材質は、特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、本実施例に示すように、断面形状が矩形のリブ状に形成することにより、支持部材4による光拡散部材3の支持面積を大きく取って光拡散部材3をより確実に支持することができる。
そして、断面形状が矩形のリブ状に形成した支持部材4は、数cm〜数十cm、より好ましくは、数cm〜十数cm程度の間隔をあけて、等間隔に平行又は格子状に配設するようにする。
なお、支持部材4は、その端部を、面発光フラットランプ1と光拡散部材3との間隔を保持するために配設した外周フレーム5に嵌合等することにより、支持するようにする。
このように、支持部材4を面発光フラットランプ1の表面に配設することにより、支持部材4をフラットランプ1の形状等に拘束されることなく、任意の位置に配設することが可能となり、光拡散部材3を支持部材4により確実に支持することができる。
In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the support member 4 has the surface of the surface emitting flat lamp 1 (the flat lamp 1 made of a fluorescent tube as shown in FIG. 6 can have any surface on the surface side. However, as shown in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent uneven illumination from occurring by setting the uneven side to the front side. In this case, the support member 4 may be in contact with the surface of the surface emitting flat lamp 1 or not.
The shape and material of the support member 4 are not particularly limited. For example, as shown in the present embodiment, the support member 4 has a rectangular rib shape so that the light diffusing member 3 is supported by the support member 4. The light diffusing member 3 can be supported more reliably by taking a large support area.
The support members 4 formed in a rib shape having a rectangular cross-sectional shape are arranged in parallel or in a lattice shape at equal intervals with an interval of several centimeters to several tens of centimeters, more preferably several centimeters to several tens of centimeters. To set up.

As described above, by disposing the support member 4 on the surface of the surface emitting flat lamp 1, the support member 4 can be disposed at any position without being restricted by the shape of the flat lamp 1 or the like. The light diffusion member 3 can be reliably supported by the support member 4.
上記のように、支持部材4は、面発光フラットランプ1の表面に配設することができるが、このほか、図3に示すように、面発光フラットランプ1の端部(隣接するフラットランプ1間)に配設することもでき、さらに、図4に示すように、必要に応じて、これらの配設方法を併用することもできる。

Can be formed into an arbitrary shape, such as a curved surface shape, a convex shape, or a pin shape, whereby the light diffusion member 3 at the apex of the support member 4 can be formed. The support form can be a line shape or a dot shape in addition to a planar shape. Then, by supporting the light diffusing member 3 in a planar shape at the apex of the support member 4, the support area of the light diffusing member 3 by the support member 4 can be increased to support the light diffusing member 3 more reliably. On the other hand, by supporting the light diffusing member 3 linearly or in the form of dots at the apex of the support member 4, it is possible to further prevent unevenness in illuminance due to the support member 4.
さらに、本実施例においては、面発光フラットランプ1と光拡散部材3との間隔を保持する外周フレーム5の内周面51を背面側から表面側に向けて拡開する傾斜面に形成するようにしている。
これにより、面発光フラットランプ1の有効照射面積を実質的に拡大することができ、装置をコンパクト化できる。
