Next, a configuration and optical characteristics of the light guide plate 51 formed in a substantially trapezoidal trapezoidal shape provided in the light guide unit 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

  First, basic optical characteristics of each light guide plate provided in the light guide unit 50 will be specifically described with reference to the light guide plate 100 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3A, when the light L1 is incident on the emission surface 100z of the light guide plate 100 at an incident angle θ1 equal to or less than the critical angle, the light L2 corresponding to the transmitted light of the light L1 is emitted.

L4 is reflected inside the light guide plate 100 at a reflection angle θ4. Here, the incident angle θ3 and the reflection angle θ4 are equal. Further, the refractive index depends on the wavelength, and becomes relatively small from a short wavelength to a long wavelength. Therefore, the critical angle of light, which is the minimum incident angle at which incident light is totally reflected, depends on the wavelength and incident angle of the light.

  Next, a configuration related to the light guide plate 51 formed in a substantially trapezoidal trapezoidal shape provided in the light guide unit 50 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. The light guide plate 51 shown in FIG. 4 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal trapezoidal shape, and corresponds to one side of the light guide plate 51 shown in FIG. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, the light guide plate 51 has an incident surface 51 a on which light from the light source 31 is incident at a position facing the light source 31. Further, a first emission surface 51p and a first emission surface 51s intersecting with the incident surface 51a are formed to face each other.

Similarly, between the first emission surface 51c and the first emission surface 51s, the first emission surface 51t is formed adjacently so as to form an obtuse angle.

  Further, the optical characteristics of the light guide plate 51 formed in a substantially trapezoidal trapezoidal shape provided in the light guide unit 50 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. 5A to 5D are schematic diagrams individually showing optical characteristics at predetermined light emission locations on each emission surface in FIG. Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the light source 31 includes, for example, a surface light source in which a plurality of light emitters are provided adjacent to each other, and is provided directly below the incident surface 51 a of the light guide plate 51 that constitutes the light guide unit 50. Yes. Accordingly, light from the light source 31 enters the light guide plate 51 from almost the entire incident surface 51 a of the light guide plate 51. However, if a large number of light rays related to the light from the light source 31 are superimposed on the outline of the light guide plate 51 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, it becomes difficult to understand the optical characteristics of the light guide plate 51. Therefore, in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the light rays related to the light from the light source 31 are shown in the form of being superimposed on the outline of the light guide plate 51 with reference to the light emission locations related to any four locations. In the light emission portion 51v of the second emission surface 51r shown in FIG. 5A, the light L101 that travels straight from the incident surface 51a in the normal direction and is perpendicularly incident on the second emission surface 51r is the light L101. The light L102 corresponding to the transmitted light is derived from the light guide plate 51.

The light L112 corresponds to the reflected light of the light L111 on the first emission surface 51s. Similarly, at the light emission location 51v, the light L121 incident at a critical angle or less with respect to the second emission surface 51r is led out from the light guide plate 51 as light L122 corresponding to the transmitted light of the light L121.

The light L131 that has entered the second emission surface 51q at a critical angle or less is derived from the light guide plate 51 as light L132 that corresponds to the transmitted light of the light L131. In addition, at the light emission location 51w, the light L142 incident on the second emission surface 51q at a critical angle or less is led out from the light guide plate 51 as light L143 corresponding to the transmitted light of the light L142. The light L142 corresponds to the reflected light of the light L141 on the first emission surface 51s. Similarly, at the light emission location 51w, the light L151 incident on the second emission surface 51q beyond the critical angle is reflected inside the light guide plate 51 as light L152 corresponding to the reflected light of the light L151. The Further, the light L152 is reflected inside the light guide plate 51 as light L153 corresponding to the reflected light of the light L152 on the second emission surface 51r. The light L153 is led out from the first emission surface 51s of the light guide plate 51 as light L154 corresponding to the transmitted light of the light L153. In addition, since the light L161 is incident on the first emission surface 51p at an angle less than the critical angle, the light L161 is derived from the light guide plate 51 as light L162 corresponding to the transmitted light of the light L161, and the second emission surface 51q. It is not propagated to the light emission location 51w.

  Further, regarding the optical characteristics related to the light guide plate 51 provided in the light guide section 50, the critical angle with respect to the second output surface 51q at the light output location 51x of the second output surface 51q shown in FIG. 5C. Incoming light L171 and light L181 are led out from the light guide plate 51 as light L172 and light L182 corresponding to transmitted light, respectively.

Further, the light guide plate 55 includes, for example, a first emission surface 55c formed so as to form an obtuse angle between the first emission surface 55b and the first emission surface 55u, and the first emission surface 55c and the first emission surface 55c. By providing the first emission surface 55n formed so as to form an obtuse angle between the emission surfaces 55u, the angle of light incident on each first emission surface from the inside of the light guide plate 55 becomes less than the critical angle. It becomes easy to lead out from the light guide plate 55.

  Moreover, according to the illuminating device 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment, about the light guide plate provided in the light guide part 50, for example, the light guide plate 51 shown in FIG. 5, the light guide plate 53 shown in FIG. 8, and the guide shown in FIG. You may form combining the shape of the light plate 54 or the light-guide plate 55 shown in FIG. 10 arbitrarily. Thus, the illuminating device 1 which has an optical characteristic different from the direction to visually recognize can be comprised by forming the light guide part 50 combining multiple light guide plates of a different shape.

[Second Embodiment]
Hereinafter, the illumination device 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 16.

  In addition, the illuminating device 2 of the 2nd Embodiment of this invention has the characteristics in which the concave or convex pattern is formed in the light guide plate of the light guide part 60 which comprises this illuminating device 2, respectively. ing. Other configurations according to the second embodiment are the same as the configurations described in the first embodiment. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the lighting device 2 of the second embodiment includes a power reception unit 10, a power supply unit 20, a light source unit 30, and the same specifications as the lighting device 1 of the first embodiment. And the housing | casing part 40 and the light guide part 60 peculiar to the illuminating device 2 of 2nd Embodiment are comprised. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the light guide unit 60 having a configuration different from that of the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  Each light guide plate of the light guide unit 60 constituting the illumination device 2 of the second embodiment has a concave or convex shape that guides the light from the light source unit 30 as diffused light to one or more of the light exit surfaces of the light guide plate. Pattern is formed. Here, the specification of the concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate provided in the light guide unit 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13. Next, the specifications of the concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate according to a modification of the light guide unit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. Further, optical characteristics relating to a special concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate according to a modification of the light guide 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.

  First, the specification of the concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate provided in the light guide unit 60 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13. For example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the first emission surface 61 b and the first emission surface 61 c provided on the light guide plate 61 of the light guide unit 60 have a concave shape that guides the emitted light as diffused light. Pattern 61p is formed. Such patterns 61p are formed in a matrix at intervals of 1 mm to 6 mm, for example. Here, most of the plurality of diffused lights generated by the plurality of patterns 61p formed on the first light exit surface 61b of the light guide plate 61 are the first light beams that face the light guide plate 61 as substantially uniform surface emitting light. Derived from the exit surface 61c. Similarly, most of the plurality of diffused lights generated by the plurality of patterns 61p formed on the first light exit surface 61c of the light guide plate 61 are substantially uniform surface emitting light as the first light which the light guide plate 61 faces. Derived from the exit surface 61b. The specification of the concave pattern 62p formed on the light guide plate 62 of the light guide unit 60 is the same as the specification of the pattern 61p formed on the light guide plate 61 described above.

    In addition, regarding the specifications of the concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate provided in the light guide unit 60, the concave or convex pattern formed on each light exit surface of the light guide plate 61 and the light guide plate 62, for example, You may comprise from a shape, a linear form, or those combination. Further, for example, a concave or convex pattern may be formed on the light guide plate 51 shown in FIG. 4, the light guide plate 53 shown in FIG. 7, the light guide plate 54 shown in FIG. 9, and the light guide plate 55 shown in FIG. . In addition, the external shape of the light guide plate 61 provided in the light guide part 60 shown in FIG. 12 is the same as the external shape of the light guide plate 51 provided in the light guide part 50 shown in FIG. Therefore, the light guide plate 61 provided in the light guide unit 60 has the same optical characteristics as the light guide plate 51 provided in the light guide unit 50 described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, and the incident surface of the light guide plate 61. The light of the light source 31 incident from 61a can be led out from each emission surface at a predetermined radiation angle without being attenuated by multiple reflection inside the light guide plate 61.

  In addition, regarding the specifications of the concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate provided in the light guide unit 60, in FIG. 13, in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, the first light exit surface of each light guide plate The size of the formed concave pattern is exaggerated. Here, like the light guide plate 61 shown in FIG. 13, the light of the light source 31 incident from the incident surface 61 a of the light guide plate 61 is irradiated to the pattern 61 p formed on the first emission surface 61 b of the light guide plate 61. Then, diffused light is generated. Most of the diffused light is led out from the first emission surface 61c provided to face the first emission surface 61b. Here, if the pattern 61p is not provided on the light guide plate 61, each first exit surface intersecting the entrance surface 61a of the light guide plate 61 is different from each second exit surface facing the entrance surface 61a of the light guide plate 61. In comparison, the amount of light of the light source 31 directly derived from the light guide plate 61 is considerably small. However, by providing, for example, a concave pattern on an arbitrary first emission surface that intersects with the incident surface 61a of the light guide plate 61, diffused light is derived from the first emission surface that faces the arbitrary first emission surface. Can be made. Therefore, since the difference in the amount of light derived from each of the first emission surface and each second emission surface of the light guide plate 61 is suppressed, the light is derived from a plurality of emission surfaces provided on the light guide plate 61. The amount of light to be averaged can be averaged. In addition, when the pattern 61p of the light guide plate 61 is formed so as not to face the first light exit surface 61b and the first light exit surface 61c of the light guide plate 61, the light guide plate is compared with a case where the patterns face the same. Since the total number of the patterns 61p visible from the first emission surface 61b or the first emission surface 61c of 61 increases, the difference in brightness of the diffused light derived from the light guide plate 61 is reduced.

  Next, the specification of the concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate according to a modification of the light guide unit 60 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. Like the light guide plate 62 shown in FIG. 14A, the light of the light source 31 incident from the incident surface 62 a of the light guide plate 62 is irradiated to the pattern 62 p formed on the first emission surface 62 b of the light guide plate 62. Then, diffused light is generated. Most of the diffused light is led out from the first emission surface 61c provided to face the first emission surface 62b. That is, the pattern 62p may be provided on any one of the first emission surfaces. Further, regarding the optical characteristics related to the concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate provided in the light guide unit 60, the depth of the pattern 64p is guided as in the light guide plate 64 shown in FIG. It is good also as a structure deepened relatively every time it leaves | separates from the entrance plane 64a of the light-guide plate 64 with respect to the 1st exit surface 64b and the 1st exit surface 64c of the optical plate 64. FIG. When the depth of the pattern 64p is increased in this way, the surface area of the pattern 64p is increased, so that relatively large diffused light is generated. On the other hand, the light intensity of the light source 31 is attenuated and relatively lowered as the distance from the incident surface 64a of the light guide plate 64 increases. Therefore, by adopting the configuration as described above, the intensity of the diffused light derived from the first emission surface 64b and the first emission surface 64c of the light guide plate 64 is set to the distance from the incidence surface 64a of the light guide plate 64. It can be averaged without approaching. In addition, it is good also as a structure which makes relatively high the height of the convex pattern formed in the 1st output surface of the light-guide plate which is not shown in figure, whenever it distances from the entrance plane of a light-guide plate. Similarly, the interval between the concave or convex patterns formed on the first light exit surface of the light guide plate (not shown) may be made relatively dense every time the light guide plate moves away from the light entrance surface. Even with this configuration, the intensity of the diffused light derived from the first light exit surface of the light guide plate can be averaged.

  Further, optical characteristics relating to a special concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate according to a modification of the light guide unit 60 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. Like the light guide plate 65, a concave pattern made of a quadrangular pyramid has a rectangular surface at the bottom, so that diffused light is efficiently derived from the first emission surface 65b and the first emission surface 65c. Can be made. Specifically, a part of the light incident from the incident surface 65a is irradiated to the lowermost portion 65f of the pattern 65d formed on the first output surface 65b, for example, in the direction away from the incident surface 65a and the first Is reflected on the exit surface 65c side. Similarly, a part of the light incident from the incident surface 65a is irradiated to, for example, the lowermost portion 65i of the pattern 65e formed on the first output surface 65c, is in a direction away from the incident surface 65a, and the first output. Reflected to the surface 65b side. Therefore, the light incident from the incident surface 65a can be converted into diffused light more efficiently and led out from the first output surface 65b and the first output surface 65c.

  In addition, regarding the optical characteristics related to the special concave or convex pattern formed on each light guide plate according to the modification of the light guide unit 60, if the concave pattern is a pure quadrangular pyramid shape, the quadrangular pyramid The diffused light generated in the vicinity of the lowermost part has a very short distance from one surface 65g to the opposite other surface 65h at the tip part, so that the diffused light is greatly attenuated by multiple reflections in the vicinity of the lowermost part. It is not derived directly from the first exit surface 65b or the first exit surface 65c. On the other hand, when the concave pattern has a rectangular surface at the lowermost part of the quadrangular pyramid, the diffused light generated in the vicinity of the lowermost part of the quadrangular pyramid is on the other surface 65h facing the one surface 65g in the vicinity of the lowermost pyramid. Since there is a certain distance between them, the light is derived directly from the first exit surface 65b or the first exit surface 65c before being subjected to multiple reflection. Therefore, the light incident from the incident surface 65a can be derived more efficiently.

  As mentioned above, according to the illuminating device 2 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment, the effect similar to the illuminating device 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment mentioned above can be acquired. Specifically, for example, the light guide plate 61 provided in the light guide unit 60 has the same optical characteristics as the light guide plate 51 provided in the light guide unit 50 described with reference to FIGS. The light of the light source 31 incident from the incident surface 61a of the light plate 61 can be derived from each emitting surface at a predetermined radiation angle without being attenuated by multiple reflection inside the light guide plate 61.

  Furthermore, according to the illuminating device 2 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment, like the light guide plate 63 shown to Fig.14 (a), light guide plate 63p is formed in the pattern 63p formed in the 1st output surface 63b of the light guide plate 63. As shown in FIG. The diffused light can be generated by irradiating the light of the light source 31 incident from the incident surface 63a of 63, and the diffused light can be led out from the first emission surface 63c. Therefore, according to the illuminating device 2 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment, the diffused light by which the glare was suppressed can be used as substantially uniform surface emitting light. If the light guide plate 63 is not provided with the pattern 63p, each first exit surface intersecting the entrance surface 63a of the light guide plate 63 is compared with each second exit surface facing the entrance surface 63a of the light guide plate 63. Thus, the amount of light of the light source 31 directly derived from the inside of the light guide plate 61 is considerably small. However, by providing, for example, a concave pattern on an arbitrary first exit surface that intersects the entrance surface 63a of the light guide plate 63, diffused light is derived from the first exit surface that faces the first exit surface. Can be made. Therefore, the difference in the amount of light derived from each of the first emission surfaces and each of the second emission surfaces of the light guide plate 63 is suppressed, so that the light is derived from the plurality of emission surfaces provided on the light guide plate 63. The amount of light to be averaged can be averaged.

  Moreover, according to the illuminating device 2 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment, the pattern 61p is made with respect to the 1st output surface 61b and the 1st output surface 61c of the light guide plate 61 like the light guide plate 61 shown in FIG. Accordingly, the total number of the patterns 61p visible from the first emission surface 61b or the first emission surface 61c of the light guide plate 61 can be increased. Therefore, according to the illuminating device 2 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment, the diffused light by which the glare was suppressed and the difference in brightness was suppressed can be used as substantially uniform surface emitting light.

  Similarly, according to the illuminating device 2 according to the second embodiment, as the light guide plate 64 shown in FIG. 14B, the light intensity of the light source 31 is attenuated every time the light source 31 moves away from the incident surface 64a. In consideration of this, the depth of the pattern 64p is relatively increased every time the distance from the incident surface 64a of the light guide plate 64 is increased with respect to the first output surface 64b and the first output surface 64c of the light guide plate 64. With the configuration, relatively large diffused light can be generated. Therefore, according to the illuminating device 2 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment, the diffused light by which the glare was suppressed and the difference in brightness was suppressed was averaged irrespective of the distance from the entrance plane 64a of the light-guide plate 64. It can be used as light for simple surface emission.

  Similarly, according to the illuminating device 2 according to the second embodiment, the height of the convex pattern formed on the first light exit surface of the light guide plate is relatively increased every time it is moved away from the light entrance surface of the light guide plate. The interval of the concave or convex pattern formed on the first light exit surface of the light guide plate can be made relatively dense every time the light guide plate is moved away from the incident surface. Therefore, according to the illuminating device 2 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment, the uniform surface which averaged the diffused light by which the glare was suppressed and the difference of brightness was suppressed irrespective of the distance from the entrance plane of a light-guide plate. It can be used as emitted light.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the light-guide plate provided in the illuminating device 2 of the 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated concretely.

  For example, ultrasonic processing, heating processing, cutting processing, laser processing, molding processing, and silk printing processing can be used for the method of manufacturing the light guide plate. Therefore, by selecting each processing method according to the specification, cost, required quantity, etc. of the light guide plate, a concave or convex pattern can be formed on the main surface of the light guide plate with high accuracy and stability. Hereinafter, each manufacturing method will be described. In ultrasonic processing, the main surface of the light guide plate is partially melted by using ultrasonic vibration of an ultrasonic processing horn brought into contact with the main surface of the light guide plate, thereby forming a concave pattern on the main surface. Form. In the heating process, the main surface of the light guide plate is partially melted using the heat of the processing tool brought into contact with the main surface of the light guide plate, thereby forming a concave pattern on the main surface. Similarly, in the cutting process, a concave pattern is formed on the main surface by partially scraping off the main surface of the light guide plate using a cutting tool that is rotated or biased while being in contact with the main surface of the light guide plate. To do. Similarly, in laser processing, the main surface of the light guide plate is partially melted by using the heat of the laser light condensed on the main surface of the light guide plate, thereby forming a concave pattern on the main surface. Similarly, in the molding process, a shape reflecting the outer shape of the light guide plate to be molded is formed inside the mold, and for example, a mold softened by heating is injected into the mold mounted on the injection molding machine. Then, the resin is cooled to form a concave pattern, a convex pattern, or a concave and convex pattern on the main surface of the light guide plate.

  Further, regarding the manufacturing method of the light guide plate, in silk printing processing, a plate having predetermined holes opened against the main surface of the light guide plate, and a curable resin is attached to the main surface through the holes, A convex pattern is formed on the main surface by partially covering the main surface with resin. Moreover, you may add the fine particle-shaped diffusion member which emits diffused light, for example to resin which is the base material of the light-guide plate used for a shaping | molding process or a silk printing process. Similarly, for example, a resin that is a base material of a light guide plate that performs the above-described ultrasonic processing, heating processing, cutting processing, or laser processing may be added with a particulate diffusion member that emits diffused light. Note that the light guide plate may be formed by a combination of the above-described ultrasonic processing, heating processing, cutting processing, laser processing, molding processing, and silk printing processing. Specifically, for example, after forming only the outer shape of the light guide plate by molding, a concave pattern may be formed on the main surface of the light guide plate by ultrasonic processing, for example. Similarly, after only the outer shape of the light guide plate is formed by molding, for example, a convex pattern may be formed on the main surface of the light guide plate by silk printing, for example.

Can be derived. Furthermore, for example, the light emitted from the light source 31 reflected by the light emission point 53v and the light emission point 53w on the second emission surface 53r formed of a curved surface is a second emission composed of a plane adjacent to the second emission surface 53r. It can be derived from the surface 53q at various radiation angles.

  According to the illuminating device 1 having the configuration described in claim 3, the angle formed with the normal direction of the incident surface from the center toward the outer side is gradually increased like the light guide plate 54 illustrated in FIG. 9, for example. Since the second emission surface 54q to the second emission surface 54t are successively connected and formed so as to be larger, the light from the light source 31 is refracted so as to have a predetermined light distribution, It can be derived at a predetermined radiation angle from the second exit surface. Further, for example, the light of the light source 31 reflected by the second emission surface 54q to the second emission surface 54t formed on the left side of the light guide plate 54 in FIG. 9 is formed on the right side of the light guide plate 54 in FIG.

It can be derived from the exit surface at a predetermined radiation angle. Further, for example, the light of the light source 31 reflected by the second emission surface 55q to the second emission surface 55s of the light guide plate 55 is forwarded from the second emission surface 55u of the light guide plate 55 to the front of the light guide plate 55.

By providing the first emission surface 51t formed on the first emission surface 51t and the first emission surface 51u formed so as to form an obtuse angle between the first emission surface 51b and the first emission surface 51s. The angle of light incident on the first exit surface from the inside of the light source is likely to be a critical angle and is easily derived from the light guide plate 51.

  According to the illuminating device 2 having the configuration described in claim 7, the pattern 63 p formed on the first emission surface 63 b of the light guide plate 63, for example, like the light guide plate 63 shown in FIG. The diffused light can be generated by irradiating the light of the light source 31 incident from the incident surface 63a of the light guide plate 63, and the diffused light can be led out from the first emission surface 63c. Therefore, according to the illuminating device 2 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment, the diffused light by which the glare was suppressed can be used as substantially uniform surface emitting light. If the light guide plate 63 is not provided with the pattern 63p, each first exit surface intersecting the entrance surface 63a of the light guide plate 63 is compared with each second exit surface facing the entrance surface 63a of the light guide plate 63. Thus, the amount of light of the light source 31 directly derived from the inside of the light guide plate 61 is considerably small. However, by providing, for example, a concave pattern on an arbitrary first exit surface that intersects the entrance surface 63a of the light guide plate 63, diffused light is derived from the first exit surface that faces the first exit surface. Can be made. Therefore, the difference in the amount of light derived from each of the first emission surfaces and each of the second emission surfaces of the light guide plate 63 is suppressed, so that the light is derived from the plurality of emission surfaces provided on the light guide plate 63. The amount of light to be averaged can be averaged.
