Description

本発明は、発光素子として発光ダイオードを用いた光源(以後、LED光源と呼ぶ)に係る発明であって、特に当該LED光源を用いた面状光源装置および表示装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a light source using a light emitting diode as a light emitting element (hereinafter referred to as an LED light source), and particularly relates to a planar light source device and a display device using the LED light source.

従来のLED光源では、特許文献1に示すようにLED光源のモールド先端部に発光素子から放射された光線を横方向に反射する光反射体が装着されていた。   In the conventional LED light source, as shown in Patent Document 1, a light reflector that reflects the light emitted from the light emitting element in the lateral direction is attached to the mold tip of the LED light source.

また、特許文献2に記載の面状光源装置は、導光板の後面に形成した光源挿入部にLED光源等の光源を圧入して、光源の前方に光反射面を形成している。この光反射面で光源から出射して前方へ向かった光を遮り、反射した光を光源挿入部の側壁面から導光板の内部に導入させ、導光板の出射面での輝度分布を均一にしている。   In the planar light source device described in Patent Document 2, a light source such as an LED light source is press-fitted into a light source insertion portion formed on the rear surface of the light guide plate, and a light reflecting surface is formed in front of the light source. This light reflecting surface shields the light emitted from the light source and traveling forward, and introduces the reflected light into the light guide plate from the side wall surface of the light source insertion portion, so that the luminance distribution on the light exit surface of the light guide plate is made uniform. Yes.

しかしながら、特許文献1に記載のLED光源を用いた場合、発光素子から放射され、光反射体で反射される光は一部、光反射体で吸収される。このため、光の取り出し効率が悪化し、光量が減少する。また、当該光源を備えた面状光源装置では光源上部が暗くなり、面内の輝度の均一性がさらに要求される場合には、十分な表示品位を得ることができなかった。   However, when the LED light source described in Patent Document 1 is used, part of the light emitted from the light emitting element and reflected by the light reflector is absorbed by the light reflector. For this reason, the light extraction efficiency deteriorates, and the amount of light decreases. Further, in the planar light source device provided with the light source, when the upper part of the light source becomes dark and the uniformity of the in-plane luminance is further required, sufficient display quality cannot be obtained.

また、特許文献2に記載の面状光源装置を用いた場合においても、発光素子から垂直方向に放射された光を光反射面で反射させるため、光反射面による吸収により輝度低下が発生する。また、光が十分に拡散されずに、光源の前方で輝度ムラが発生するという問題があった。   Even when the planar light source device described in Patent Document 2 is used, light emitted in the vertical direction from the light emitting element is reflected by the light reflecting surface, so that a decrease in luminance occurs due to absorption by the light reflecting surface.

(実施の形態1)
図1は本実施の形態に係るLED(Light Emitting Diode)光源の断面図を示している。図1において、LED光源10は、発光素子1、発光素子1を外囲器3の底面に配設するセラミック基板2、発光素子1をモールドする透光性を有する樹脂製の外囲器3、外囲器3の上面に装着される反射部材4、および外囲器3と反射部材4の間の中空の空気層5を備えている。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an LED (Light Emitting Diode) light source according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 1, an LED light source 10 includes a light emitting element 1, a ceramic substrate 2 on which the light emitting element 1 is disposed on the bottom surface of the envelope 3, a resin envelope 3 having translucency for molding the light emitting element 1, A reflective member 4 mounted on the upper surface of the envelope 3 and a hollow air layer 5 between the envelope 3 and the reflective member 4 are provided.

本発明の実施の形態に係るLED光源10の発光素子1は、リードフレーム上(図示せず)にダイボンドされている。そして、LED光源10の発光素子1は、他方のリード端子およびボンディングワイヤー(いずれも図示せず)によって電気的に結線されている。   The light emitting element 1 of the LED light source 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is die-bonded on a lead frame (not shown). The light emitting element 1 of the LED light source 10 is electrically connected by the other lead terminal and a bonding wire (both not shown).

本実施の形態に係るLED光源10のリードフレームは、セラミック基板2上に形成されており、セラミック基板2の発光素子1がダイボンドされている面と対峙する面(裏面)に、外部からの電力供給用の基板およびFPC(フレキシブルプリント基板)とハンダ等で接続するための端子部(図示せず)が備わっている。この端子部は、銅あるいは銅に金メッキしたものが用いられる。発光素子1がダイボンドされる面と対峙する面にある端子部と発光素子部のリードフレーム間はスルーホール等を介して電気的に接続されている。   The lead frame of the LED light source 10 according to the present embodiment is formed on the ceramic substrate 2, and the electric power from the outside is provided on the surface (back surface) facing the surface on which the light emitting element 1 of the ceramic substrate 2 is die-bonded. A terminal portion (not shown) for connecting with a supply substrate and an FPC (flexible printed circuit board) with solder or the like is provided. As this terminal portion, copper or copper plated with gold is used. The terminal portion on the surface facing the surface to which the light emitting element 1 is die-bonded and the lead frame of the light emitting element portion are electrically connected through a through hole or the like.

本実施の形態に用いる発光素子1は、LEDであって、例えば、発光ダイオードあるいはレーザーダイオード(Laser Diode:LD)等の点光源が考えられる。このような発光素子1を備えるLED光源には、青色等の単色を発光する半導体発光素子、あるいは半導体発光素子から発せられた青色光の一部を吸収し、黄色の光を発する蛍光体からなる擬似白色LEDがある。また、RED(赤)、GREEN(緑)およびBLUE(青)の半導体発光素子を揃え、3つの単色光の合成で白色光を発光するLED光源もある。本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置では、以下擬似白色LED光源をLED光源に用いた場合について説明する。   The light emitting element 1 used in the present embodiment is an LED, and for example, a point light source such as a light emitting diode or a laser diode (Laser Diode: LD) can be considered. The LED light source including the light emitting element 1 includes a semiconductor light emitting element that emits a single color such as blue, or a phosphor that absorbs a part of blue light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting element and emits yellow light. There is a pseudo white LED. In addition, there is an LED light source that emits white light by combining three monochromatic lights with semiconductor light emitting elements of RED (red), GREEN (green), and BLUE (blue). In the planar light source device according to the present embodiment, a case where a pseudo white LED light source is used as an LED light source will be described below.

セラミック基板2は、主に低温焼成セラミック(LTCC:Low Temperature Co−fired Ceramics)が用いられる。低温焼成セラミックは、アルミナの骨材とガラス座利用の混合物をシートにし、内層にAgおよびCu等の導体を用いている。なお、LTCCは、アルミナセラミックスの焼成温度が約1500度に対し、AgおよびCu等の低抵抗導体の融点よりも低い900度位の温度で焼成できる様に設計されている。また、セラミックは高放射性のため、発光素子1から発生する熱を基板およびFPCを介して筐体8(図2)等の放熱部材に効率よく導くことができる。加えて、セラミックは高い耐環境性を有しているため、広く用いられている。   The ceramic substrate 2 is mainly made of low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC). The low-temperature fired ceramic uses a mixture of alumina aggregate and glass seat as a sheet, and uses a conductor such as Ag and Cu as an inner layer. In addition, LTCC is designed so that it can be fired at a temperature of about 900 degrees, which is lower than the melting point of a low resistance conductor such as Ag and Cu, while the firing temperature of alumina ceramics is about 1500 degrees. In addition, since ceramic is highly radioactive, heat generated from the light emitting element 1 can be efficiently guided to a heat radiating member such as the housing 8 (FIG. 2) through the substrate and the FPC. In addition, ceramics are widely used because of their high environmental resistance.

リード端子の上部に実装された発光素子1は、トランスファー成型または注入法により透光性を有する樹脂製の外囲器3により封止されている。外囲器3としては、高い光透過性と優れた耐熱、耐UV性を備えた樹脂を用いる。例えば、従来はエポキシ樹脂がコストおよび生産性から広く用いられてきたが、昨今はより耐熱性および耐光性に優れたシリコーンも用いられている。   The light emitting element 1 mounted on the upper portion of the lead terminal is sealed by a resin envelope 3 having translucency by transfer molding or injection method. As the envelope 3, a resin having high light transmittance and excellent heat resistance and UV resistance is used. For example, conventionally, epoxy resins have been widely used from the viewpoint of cost and productivity, but recently, silicones having higher heat resistance and light resistance have also been used.

透光性を有する樹脂製の外囲器3は、底面と上部の全反射面(以下、上部反射面という)と底面と全反射面の外周端を連結する側面を備えている。本実施の形態に係るLED光源10の透光性を有する樹脂製の外囲器3は、発光素子1を中心軸にして軸対称に形成されている。   The translucent resin-made envelope 3 includes a bottom surface and an upper total reflection surface (hereinafter referred to as an upper reflection surface), and a side surface connecting the bottom surface and the outer peripheral end of the total reflection surface. The resin-made envelope 3 having translucency of the LED light source 10 according to the present embodiment is formed symmetrically about the light emitting element 1 as a central axis.

発光素子1と対峙する外囲器3の上面には中心軸に対して対称に線形を有する上部反射面が形成されている。上部反射面は発光素子1から出射された光で、上部反射面に入射した光が全反射し、側面方向に向かうように発光素子1の直上部は垂直方向に近い曲面を奏して、発光素子1から離れるに従って傾斜が緩やかになるように設計されている。   On the upper surface of the envelope 3 facing the light emitting element 1, an upper reflecting surface having a linear shape symmetrical to the central axis is formed. The upper reflecting surface is light emitted from the light emitting element 1, and the light incident on the upper reflecting surface is totally reflected, and the upper portion of the light emitting element 1 has a curved surface close to the vertical direction so as to go to the side surface direction. It is designed so that the inclination becomes gentler as it goes away from 1.

ここで、一般的に光が媒質の異なる境界を進む場合、光の屈折が生じる。特に屈折率が高い媒質と屈折率が低い媒質とが接する境界において、光が屈折率の高い媒質から屈折率の低い媒質に向かって進む際、入射角によって屈折せずに全反射する場合がある。全反射する場合は、光の入射角が臨界角以上であり、スネルの法則により一般的には樹脂の屈折率を1.5、空気の屈折率を1.0とすると樹脂と空気の境界面での臨界角は約42度であることがわかる。   Here, in general, when light travels through different boundaries of the medium, light refraction occurs. In particular, when light travels from a medium with a high refractive index toward a medium with a low refractive index at the boundary between a medium with a high refractive index and a medium with a low refractive index, the light may be totally reflected without being refracted depending on the incident angle. . In the case of total reflection, the incident angle of light is not less than the critical angle, and the interface between the resin and air is generally assumed that the refractive index of resin is 1.5 and the refractive index of air is 1.0 according to Snell's law. It can be seen that the critical angle at is about 42 degrees.

このように、二つの媒質の屈折率と入射角を考慮すると、本発明の上部反射面の傾斜または曲率を容易に算出することができる。   Thus, when the refractive index and incident angle of the two media are taken into account, the inclination or curvature of the upper reflecting surface of the present invention can be easily calculated.

また、側面の曲率もスネルの法則を用いて説明することができる。ここでの曲率または傾斜は、側面の曲面から放たれる光が発光素子1と垂直になす方向(図面左右方向)に出射されるように曲面を形成する。ただし、もともと側面に入射する光は、ほぼ全て側面から出射されるために側面の形状については上記に示した曲率を有せずとも本来の側面から光を出射させることが可能な場合もある。ここでは、外囲器3の側面形状は、縦断面において円弧形状を有しているものとする。   The curvature of the side surface can also be explained using Snell's law. The curvature or inclination here forms a curved surface so that light emitted from the curved surface is emitted in a direction perpendicular to the light emitting element 1 (left and right direction in the drawing). However, since almost all light incident on the side surface is emitted from the side surface, there may be a case where the light can be emitted from the original side surface without having the curvature described above with respect to the shape of the side surface. Here, it is assumed that the side surface shape of the envelope 3 has an arc shape in the longitudinal section.

このように、外囲器3の側面形状を円弧形状にすることにより、側面の曲面から放たれる光が発光素子1と垂直になす方向に出射させることができる。   Thus, by making the side surface shape of the envelope 3 an arc shape, the light emitted from the curved surface can be emitted in a direction perpendicular to the light emitting element 1.

外囲器3の発光素子1と対峙する上面には反射部材4が備えられている。外囲器3の上部には、光を反射させる凹部(上部反射面)と、側面との境界において、反射部材4との接合のために一部直線部を有しており、直線部と反射部材4は空気層5を介さずに密着固定されている。すなわち、反射部材4は、外囲器3の上面に一部密着、一部非密着して装着され、非密着の部分において外囲器3との間に中空の空気層5が介在されている。なお、中空の空気層5の形状は、略円錐形を有している。   A reflective member 4 is provided on the upper surface of the envelope 3 facing the light emitting element 1. The upper part of the envelope 3 has a straight part for joining with the reflecting member 4 at the boundary between the concave part (upper reflective surface) for reflecting light and the side surface, and the straight part and the reflective part are reflected. The member 4 is fixed tightly without the air layer 5 being interposed. That is, the reflective member 4 is attached to the upper surface of the envelope 3 in a partly close contact and partly in close contact, and a hollow air layer 5 is interposed between the reflection member 4 and the envelope 3 in the non-contact portion. . The shape of the hollow air layer 5 has a substantially conical shape.

このように、中空の空気層5の形状を略円錐形にすることにより、外囲器3と空気層5との境界線での臨界角を満たすことができる。   Thus, the critical angle at the boundary line between the envelope 3 and the air layer 5 can be satisfied by making the shape of the hollow air layer 5 substantially conical.

反射部材4にはPP(ポリプロピレン)またはPET(ポリエチレンテレフタレート)に、硫酸バリウムまたは酸化チタンを混ぜ合わせた材料、樹脂に微細な気泡を形成した材料、金属に銀蒸着した材料、金属板に酸化チタンを含む顔料を塗布した材料、または基板の材料と同一のセラミック材等が用いられる。なお、反射部材4は反射率が90%以上、拡散透過率が2%以上であることが望ましい。   The reflecting member 4 is made of PP (polypropylene) or PET (polyethylene terephthalate) mixed with barium sulfate or titanium oxide, resin is formed with fine bubbles, silver is vapor-deposited on metal, and titanium oxide is coated on a metal plate. A material coated with a pigment containing or a ceramic material the same as the substrate material is used. The reflecting member 4 preferably has a reflectance of 90% or more and a diffuse transmittance of 2% or more.

このような反射部材4を用いることにより、光の取り出す効率を向上させることができる。   By using such a reflecting member 4, the light extraction efficiency can be improved.

また、反射率を向上させたい場合は、複数の反射部材4を重ねることにより反射率がさらに向上し、効率よく光を光源から発光させることができる。また、反射部材4は発光素子1を実装しているセラミック基板2と同一の材料を用いることもできる。このように、セラミック基板2と同一の材料を用いることで、反射部材4の材料をセラミック基板2と統一化することができ、製造コストを安くすることが可能になる。   When it is desired to improve the reflectance, the reflectance is further improved by stacking the plurality of reflecting members 4, and light can be efficiently emitted from the light source. The reflective member 4 can also be made of the same material as the ceramic substrate 2 on which the light emitting element 1 is mounted. Thus, by using the same material as the ceramic substrate 2, the material of the reflecting member 4 can be unified with the ceramic substrate 2, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

さらに、反射部材4の外囲器3側の面またはその反対面の少なくとも一方に、例えば黒色のドットパターンの印刷をすることで、光出射面16(図4)の輝度プロファイルを改善することができる。   Furthermore, the luminance profile of the light emitting surface 16 (FIG. 4) can be improved by printing, for example, a black dot pattern on at least one of the surface of the reflecting member 4 on the envelope 3 side or the opposite surface. it can.

また、反射部材4の外囲器3側の面またはその反対面の少なくとも一方に、例えば青色の有色の印刷を施すことで、面状光源装置として用いた場合の光源近傍の色とそれ以外の部分の色度を調整し、同一化することができるためより良い。   Further, for example, blue colored printing is performed on at least one of the surface of the reflecting member 4 on the envelope 3 side or the opposite surface, so that the color near the light source when used as a planar light source device and the other colors are used. It is better because the chromaticity of the parts can be adjusted and made identical.

外囲器3と反射部材4を一部密着させることにより、光源と同一に取り扱いすることができ、発光素子1と反射部材4の位置精度を向上させることができる。また、別部材にする場合、反射部材4の固定方法および組立てが困難になるが、LED光源10と一体化することでこれらの問題を解決することができる。   When the envelope 3 and the reflecting member 4 are partially adhered, they can be handled in the same manner as the light source, and the positional accuracy of the light emitting element 1 and the reflecting member 4 can be improved. Moreover, when making it a separate member, although the fixing method and assembly of the reflecting member 4 become difficult, these problems can be solved by integrating with the LED light source 10.

図2には、本実施の形態1に係るLED光源10を用いた面状光源装置の分解斜視図を示している。また、図3には、本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置の断面図を示している。さらに、図4には、LED光源10近傍の詳細断面図を示している。   FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of a planar light source device using the LED light source 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the planar light source device according to the present embodiment. Further, FIG. 4 shows a detailed sectional view of the vicinity of the LED light source 10.

図2において、面状光源装置は一つの面に開口部9が形成された筐体8、開口部9と対向する面にLED基板11を介して保持されたLED光源10、開口部9及びLED光源10を覆う位置に設けられた導光板6、およびLED光源10に対応する導光板6の位置に設けられ筐体8の開口部9に開口する円柱形状の貫通した孔部7を備えている。なお、孔部7に代えて有底の凹部であってもよい。   In FIG. 2, the planar light source device includes a housing 8 having an opening 9 formed on one surface, an LED light source 10 held on a surface facing the opening 9 via an LED substrate 11, the opening 9 and the LED. A light guide plate 6 provided at a position covering the light source 10 and a cylindrical through-hole portion 7 provided at a position of the light guide plate 6 corresponding to the LED light source 10 and opening in the opening 9 of the housing 8 are provided. . In addition, it may replace with the hole part 7 and may be a bottomed recessed part.

導光板6は透明なアクリル樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂およびガラス等で構成されている。そして、導光板6は、図2および図3のように板状形状であり、導光板6の上面の光出射面16には、導光板6をくりぬいたように円形状の孔部7が設けられている。さらに、導光板6の光出射面16の反対面には、図示していないが光の伝播方向を乱して光出射面16に光を導くための光散乱部が形成されている。この光散乱部は、導光板6の内部に向かって光を反射する手段として機能する。そして、反射する手段としては、光出射面16の反対面にドットパターン印刷を印刷する方法、光出射面16の反対面を粗面化してシボ面を形成する方法、あるいは光出射面16の反対面側に微小な球面および凹凸を形成する方法等が考えられる。   The light guide plate 6 is made of transparent acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, glass and the like. The light guide plate 6 has a plate shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the light emitting surface 16 on the upper surface of the light guide plate 6 is provided with a circular hole 7 so that the light guide plate 6 is hollowed out. It has been. Further, on the surface opposite to the light exit surface 16 of the light guide plate 6, a light scattering portion (not shown) for guiding the light to the light exit surface 16 while disturbing the light propagation direction is formed. This light scattering portion functions as a means for reflecting light toward the inside of the light guide plate 6. As a means for reflecting, a method of printing a dot pattern on the opposite surface of the light emitting surface 16, a method of roughening the opposite surface of the light emitting surface 16 to form a textured surface, or the opposite of the light emitting surface 16 A method of forming a minute spherical surface and unevenness on the surface side is conceivable.

LED光源10は、図3のようにLED基板11に実装されている。なお、LED基板11は、LED光源10を保持するとともに、LED光源10に電力を供給するための回路パターンが形成されている。   The LED light source 10 is mounted on the LED substrate 11 as shown in FIG. The LED substrate 11 holds the LED light source 10 and has a circuit pattern for supplying power to the LED light source 10.

また、LED光源10は、メタルコア(Metal Core:MC)基板であるLED基板11に実装することで、LED光源10から発せられる熱を効率よく周囲に伝えることができる。あるいは、LED光源10は、MC基板より厚さが薄いFPC(Flexible Printing Circuit)に実装することで、LED光源10からの熱をさらに効率よく周囲に伝えることできるとともに、面状光源装置の外形サイズを小型化することができる。   Moreover, the LED light source 10 can efficiently transmit the heat generated from the LED light source 10 to the surroundings by mounting the LED light source 10 on the LED substrate 11 which is a metal core (MC) substrate. Alternatively, the LED light source 10 is mounted on an FPC (Flexible Printing Circuit) having a thickness smaller than that of the MC substrate, so that the heat from the LED light source 10 can be more efficiently transmitted to the surroundings, and the outer size of the planar light source device. Can be miniaturized.

導光板6の光出射面16(筐体8の開口部9)には、図3のように拡散板14が配置されている。この拡散板14には、PET(ポリエチレンテレフタレート)、PMMA(アクリル)もしくはPC(ポリカーボネート)等の樹脂板またはガラス基板のような光を透過する性質を有する材料が用いられる。また、拡散板14には、上記の材料に反射材を混入したり、表面を粗面化させたりして入射光を散乱させる機能を持たせている。その機能を有する拡散板14を用いることで広い指向性を持つ面状光源装置を得ることができる。なお、面状光源装置の構成によっては、拡散板14を設けずとも所望の表示品位を得られる場合があり、この場合には特に拡散板14を設ける必要はない。   A light diffusing plate 14 is disposed on the light emitting surface 16 of the light guide plate 6 (the opening 9 of the housing 8) as shown in FIG. The diffusion plate 14 is made of a material having a property of transmitting light, such as a resin plate such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (acrylic), or PC (polycarbonate), or a glass substrate. Further, the diffusion plate 14 has a function of scattering incident light by mixing a reflective material into the above material or roughening the surface. By using the diffuser plate 14 having the function, a planar light source device having a wide directivity can be obtained. Depending on the configuration of the planar light source device, a desired display quality may be obtained without providing the diffusion plate 14, and in this case, it is not necessary to provide the diffusion plate 14 in particular.

さらに、図3のように拡散板14上には、複数の光学シート12からなる光学シート類を設けている。光学シート類は、レンズシートを拡散シートで挟み込んだ構造となっている。また、輝度の向上が必要な場合には、複数枚のレンズシートを用いて個々のシートに形成されているプリズムの方向を最適に組み合わせる。さらに拡散シートによる拡散性を向上させる場合に、2枚以上の拡散シートを用いる方法が考えられる。また、レンズシートの配光特性によっては、レンズシートを1枚または使用しなくとも良い。さらに、光学シート類には、保護シートおよび偏光反射シートを組み合わせても良い。なお、光学シート類の構成は、求める輝度および配光特性等を鑑みて最適なシート構成とすることが望ましい。導光板6の裏面(光出射面16の反対面)上には反射シート13が設けられている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, optical sheets composed of a plurality of optical sheets 12 are provided on the diffusion plate 14. Optical sheets have a structure in which a lens sheet is sandwiched between diffusion sheets. When the luminance needs to be improved, the directions of the prisms formed on the individual sheets are optimally combined using a plurality of lens sheets. Furthermore, when improving the diffusibility by a diffusion sheet, the method of using two or more diffusion sheets can be considered. Depending on the light distribution characteristics of the lens sheet, one lens sheet or no lens sheet may be used. Further, a protective sheet and a polarizing reflection sheet may be combined with the optical sheets. In addition, it is desirable that the configuration of the optical sheets is an optimal sheet configuration in view of the required luminance, light distribution characteristics, and the like. A reflective sheet 13 is provided on the back surface of the light guide plate 6 (the surface opposite to the light emitting surface 16).

次に、図2および図3では図示していないが、面状光装置上には表示パネルが配置される。表示パネルには、液晶の複屈折性を応用した液晶表示パネル、あるいは文字および絵が透明板に印刷された表示パネル等が考えられえる。本実施の形態では、表示パネルに液晶表示パネルを用いた表示装置の場合について以下に説明する。   Next, although not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a display panel is disposed on the planar optical device. As the display panel, a liquid crystal display panel using the birefringence of liquid crystal, a display panel on which characters and pictures are printed on a transparent plate, or the like can be considered. In this embodiment, the case of a display device using a liquid crystal display panel as a display panel will be described below.

ここで、液晶表示パネルは、基板上に着色層、遮光層および対向電極等が形成された対向基板と、基板上にスイッチング素子となる薄膜トランジスタ(以下、TFTともいう)および画素電極等が形成されたTFTアレイ基板とで形成されている。さらに、液晶表示パネルは、対向基板とTFTアレイ基板との間隔を保持するためのスペーサ、対向基板とTFTアレイ基板とを貼り合せるためのシール材、対向基板とTFTアレイ基板との間に挟持させる液晶、液晶を注入する注入口の封止材、液晶を配向させる配向膜、および偏光板を備えている。なお、本発明では、既存の液晶表示パネルを用いるため、詳細な説明は省略する。また、表示装置には、液晶表示パネルを駆動するための回路基板を備えている。   Here, the liquid crystal display panel has a counter substrate in which a colored layer, a light shielding layer, a counter electrode, and the like are formed on a substrate, a thin film transistor (hereinafter also referred to as a TFT) serving as a switching element, a pixel electrode, and the like. TFT array substrate. Furthermore, the liquid crystal display panel is sandwiched between the counter substrate and the TFT array substrate, a spacer for maintaining a distance between the counter substrate and the TFT array substrate, a sealing material for bonding the counter substrate and the TFT array substrate, and the like. It includes a liquid crystal, an inlet sealing material for injecting the liquid crystal, an alignment film for aligning the liquid crystal, and a polarizing plate. In the present invention, since an existing liquid crystal display panel is used, detailed description is omitted. Further, the display device includes a circuit board for driving the liquid crystal display panel.

次に、動作において、発光素子1から発せられた光が、導光板6の光出射面16まで出射して、液晶表示パネルに入射するまでの経路について説明する。まず、発光素子1から発せられた光は外囲器内3に放たれる。発光素子1の上方に放たれた光は、外囲器3の上部反射面で全反射され、水平方向に導かれて、外囲器3の側面より屈折して孔部7の空気層(導光板6と外囲器3の間)に出射される。   Next, in operation, a path from the time when the light emitted from the light emitting element 1 is emitted to the light emitting surface 16 of the light guide plate 6 and enters the liquid crystal display panel will be described. First, light emitted from the light emitting element 1 is emitted into the envelope 3. The light emitted above the light emitting element 1 is totally reflected by the upper reflecting surface of the envelope 3, guided in the horizontal direction, refracted from the side surface of the envelope 3, and the air layer (guided) of the hole 7. (Between the light plate 6 and the envelope 3).

次に、発光素子1から外囲器3の側面に直接入射する光は、図4のように外囲器3の側面で屈折されて導光板6の孔部7の空気層(導光板6と外囲器3の間)に導かれる。   Next, the light directly incident on the side surface of the envelope 3 from the light emitting element 1 is refracted on the side surface of the envelope 3 as shown in FIG. Between the envelopes 3).

一方、一部の外囲器3の上部反射面から反射部材4を突き抜けて空気層へ出射される光も存在する。発光素子1からセラミック基板2で拡散反射した光、および上部反射面が理想的な鏡面でないために上部反射面から反射部材4を突き抜けて空気層に出射される光等が考えられる。これらの大部分の光は、LED光源10の上部に位置する反射部材4により反射されて再び外囲器3に入射し、LED光源10の側面から出射されるが、その内の一部の光は直接面状光源装置の発光面より出射される。   On the other hand, there is also light that passes through the reflecting member 4 from the upper reflecting surface of some of the envelopes 3 and is emitted to the air layer. Light diffused and reflected from the light emitting element 1 by the ceramic substrate 2 and light emitted from the upper reflecting surface through the reflecting member 4 to the air layer because the upper reflecting surface is not an ideal mirror surface can be considered. Most of these lights are reflected by the reflecting member 4 located on the upper part of the LED light source 10, enter the envelope 3 again, and are emitted from the side surface of the LED light source 10. Is directly emitted from the light emitting surface of the planar light source device.

LED光源10の側面より出射した光は、導光板6の孔部7から導光板6に入射する。導光板6に入射した光は、導光板6と、導光板6と外囲器3の間の空気層との境界において全反射を繰り返しながら導光板6の内部に伝搬する。そして、導光板6の内部を伝搬する光は、導光板6の光出射面16の反対面に施されたドットパターン印刷(図示せず)で拡散反射されて光の伝搬方向が変化する。この光の伝搬方向の変化により、導光板6と、導光板6と外囲器3の間の空気層の境界に対する臨界角に満たなくなった光が、導光板6の光出射面16から出射される。   Light emitted from the side surface of the LED light source 10 enters the light guide plate 6 from the hole 7 of the light guide plate 6. The light incident on the light guide plate 6 propagates inside the light guide plate 6 while repeating total reflection at the boundary between the light guide plate 6 and the air layer between the light guide plate 6 and the envelope 3. And the light which propagates the inside of the light-guide plate 6 is diffusely reflected by the dot pattern printing (not shown) given to the opposite surface of the light-projection surface 16 of the light-guide plate 6, and the propagation direction of light changes. Due to the change in the propagation direction of the light, the light that has become less than the critical angle with respect to the light guide plate 6 and the boundary of the air layer between the light guide plate 6 and the envelope 3 is emitted from the light exit surface 16 of the light guide plate 6. The

なお、導光板6と、導光板6と外囲器3の間の空気層との境界に対する臨界角に満たなくなった光は、導光板6の光出射面16以外からも出射されるが、その光は筐体8に設けられた反射シート13(図3)により反射され、再び導光板6に入射されることになる。そして、最終的には、その光も導光板6の光出射面16から出射されることになる。   Note that the light that has become less than the critical angle with respect to the boundary between the light guide plate 6 and the air layer between the light guide plate 6 and the envelope 3 is emitted from other than the light exit surface 16 of the light guide plate 6. The light is reflected by the reflection sheet 13 (FIG. 3) provided in the housing 8 and enters the light guide plate 6 again. Finally, the light is also emitted from the light exit surface 16 of the light guide plate 6.

本実施の形態では、導光板6の形状が板状であるが、本発明はこれに限るものではなく、導光板6の形状がLED光源10から離れるに従って板厚が薄くなるくさび形の形状でも良い。なお、導光板6をくさび形の形状とすることで、伝搬する光を効率よく光出射面16に導くことができる。そのため、導光板6の側面に設けた反射シートにおいて、反射される光の量が減少するため、側面の反射シートで生じる反射損失を減らすことができ、光出射面16での出射量が増加することになる。   In the present embodiment, the shape of the light guide plate 6 is a plate shape, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the shape of the light guide plate 6 may be a wedge shape in which the plate thickness decreases as the distance from the LED light source 10 increases. good. The light guide plate 6 having a wedge shape can efficiently propagate the light to the light exit surface 16. Therefore, since the amount of reflected light is reduced in the reflection sheet provided on the side surface of the light guide plate 6, the reflection loss caused by the reflection sheet on the side surface can be reduced, and the emission amount at the light emission surface 16 is increased. It will be.

面状光源装置の出射面から出射される光について、LED光源10の上部から出射される光は、LED光源10の上部の位置に備えられた反射部材4を透過した光であり、それ以外の出射面から出射される光は導光板6を介して出射される。   Regarding the light emitted from the emission surface of the planar light source device, the light emitted from the upper part of the LED light source 10 is light that has passed through the reflecting member 4 provided at the upper part of the LED light source 10, and other than that. Light emitted from the emission surface is emitted through the light guide plate 6.

一般的に、反射部材4で透過した光は、低波長側の光が吸収されるため黄色に変化することがある。そのため、LED光源10の上部とそれ以外の部分の色度が異なる等、表示品質を低下させてしまう。   Generally, the light transmitted through the reflecting member 4 may turn yellow because light on the low wavelength side is absorbed. Therefore, the display quality is deteriorated, for example, the chromaticity of the upper portion of the LED light source 10 is different from that of the other portions.

そこで、上述したとおり、反射部材4に青色等の有色印刷を施すことにより、反射部材4を透過した光が黄色に変色することを防ぐことができる。これにより、面状光源装置の表示品位を向上させることができる。   Therefore, as described above, by performing colored printing such as blue on the reflecting member 4, it is possible to prevent the light transmitted through the reflecting member 4 from changing to yellow. Thereby, the display quality of the planar light source device can be improved.

(実施の形態2)
図5には、本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置の詳細な断面図を示す。図6にはもう一つの本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置の詳細な断面図を示す。なお、本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置は、反射部材4のサイズが異なる以外は、実施の形態1と同じ構成である。このため、図5および図6に示す面状光源装置は、図4に示す面状光源装置と同様の構成要素には同じ符号を付し説明を省略する。また、以下で説明する本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置の特有の作用効果以外は、実施の形態1に係る面状光源装置と同様の効果を奏する。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 5 shows a detailed cross-sectional view of the planar light source device according to the present embodiment. FIG. 6 shows a detailed sectional view of another planar light source device according to the present embodiment. The planar light source device according to the present embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment except that the size of the reflecting member 4 is different. For this reason, in the planar light source device shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the same components as those in the planar light source device shown in FIG. Moreover, there exists an effect similar to the planar light source device which concerns on Embodiment 1, except the effect of the surface light source device which concerns on this Embodiment demonstrated below.

本実施の形態の反射部材4は、導光板6の孔部7の大きさと略同等か、若干小さい程度としている。このため、外囲器3の上部より反射部材4の外周が外囲器3の側面に対し庇状に飛び出し、庇部15を形成している。   The reflecting member 4 of the present embodiment is approximately equal to or slightly smaller than the size of the hole 7 of the light guide plate 6. For this reason, the outer periphery of the reflecting member 4 protrudes from the upper part of the envelope 3 in a hook shape with respect to the side surface of the envelope 3, thereby forming a flange portion 15.

これにより、LED光源10からの側面から出射された光(上部反射面で全反射した光も含む)が導光板6の孔部7とLED光源10との隙間から直接出射されてLED光源10の近傍が円状に輝度が高くなることを防ぐことができる。   Thereby, the light emitted from the side surface from the LED light source 10 (including the light totally reflected by the upper reflecting surface) is directly emitted from the gap between the hole portion 7 of the light guide plate 6 and the LED light source 10 and It is possible to prevent the vicinity from becoming bright in a circular shape.

もう一つの本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置の詳細な断面図を図6に示している。図6において、面状光源装置は、上部反射面と反射部材4間に形成された空気層5がなく、LED光源10の側面が垂直方向に曲線ではなく、直線で形成されている。すなわち、外囲器3の側面は、縦断面において縦直線形状を有している。図5のLED光源10と比較して上部曲面の全反射が存在しないため、発光素子1から上部に向かった光は全て反射部材4で反射され、側面より出射される。   FIG. 6 shows a detailed sectional view of another planar light source device according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 6, the planar light source device does not have the air layer 5 formed between the upper reflecting surface and the reflecting member 4, and the side surface of the LED light source 10 is formed in a straight line instead of a curve in the vertical direction. That is, the side surface of the envelope 3 has a vertical straight line shape in the vertical cross section. Since there is no total reflection of the upper curved surface as compared with the LED light source 10 of FIG. 5, all the light traveling upward from the light emitting element 1 is reflected by the reflecting member 4 and emitted from the side surface.

これにより、安価にLED光源10を製造することができ、反射部材4の外囲器3への接続面積が大きいため外囲器3と反射部材4が強力に接続されているため、より信頼性が高い。   Accordingly, the LED light source 10 can be manufactured at low cost, and since the connection area of the reflecting member 4 to the envelope 3 is large, the envelope 3 and the reflecting member 4 are strongly connected. Is expensive.

図6の本実施の形態においても外囲器3より反射部材4が大きく、導光板6の孔部7の直径とほぼ同等か、若干小さい程度となっている。これにより、LED光源10と導光板6の孔部7の隙間から光が漏れることを防ぎ、表示品位が優れた面状光源装置を得ることができる。   Also in the present embodiment of FIG. 6, the reflecting member 4 is larger than the envelope 3, and is approximately equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole 7 of the light guide plate 6. Thereby, it can prevent that light leaks from the clearance gap between the LED light source 10 and the hole 7 of the light-guide plate 6, and can obtain the planar light source device which was excellent in the display quality.

また、透光性を有する樹脂製の外囲器3より反射部材4を延長して反射部材4で庇部15を形成しているため、外囲器3の側面から出射された光が反射部材4の庇部15で導光板6の孔部7まで導かれるため、光を消費することなく効率よく導光板6まで導くことができる。これにより、面状光源装置の輝度を向上させることできる。   Further, since the reflecting member 4 is extended from the resin-made envelope 3 having translucency and the flange 15 is formed by the reflecting member 4, the light emitted from the side surface of the envelope 3 is reflected by the reflecting member. Since it is guided to the hole 7 of the light guide plate 6 by the four flange portions 15, it can be efficiently guided to the light guide plate 6 without consuming light. Thereby, the brightness | luminance of a planar light source device can be improved.

(実施の形態3)
図7は、本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置の詳細な断面図を示す。なお、本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置は、反射部材4のサイズが異なる点、および導光板6の孔部形状が異なる点以外は実施の形態2と同じ構成である。このため、図7に示す面状光源装置は、図6に示す面状光源装置と同様の構成要素には同じ符号を付し説明を省略する。また、以下で説明する本実施の形態に係る面状光源装置の特有の作用効果以外は、実施の形態2に係る面状光源装置と同様の効果を奏する。
(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 7 shows a detailed cross-sectional view of the planar light source device according to the present embodiment. The planar light source device according to the present embodiment has the same configuration as that of the second embodiment except that the size of the reflecting member 4 is different and the hole shape of the light guide plate 6 is different. For this reason, in the planar light source device shown in FIG. 7, the same components as those in the planar light source device shown in FIG. Moreover, there exists an effect similar to the planar light source device which concerns on Embodiment 2 except the effect specific to the planar light source device which concerns on this Embodiment demonstrated below.

本実施の形態に係る導光板6の孔部7は図7で示すように2段で構成され段差を有している。光出射面16の反対面側に開口を有する第1の孔部7aの直径より、光出射面16側に開口を有する第2の孔部7bの直径が大きい。また、LED光源10の反射部材4の直径は、第1の孔部7aの直径より大きく、第2の孔部7bの直径より小さく形成されている。反射部材4の庇部15は導光板6の孔部7の段差には嵌合して配置される。また、導光板6の第2の孔部7bの深さはLED光源10の反射部材4と干渉しないように設定することが望ましい。   The hole 7 of the light guide plate 6 according to the present embodiment is composed of two steps as shown in FIG. The diameter of the second hole 7b having the opening on the light emitting surface 16 side is larger than the diameter of the first hole 7a having the opening on the opposite surface side of the light emitting surface 16. The diameter of the reflecting member 4 of the LED light source 10 is formed to be larger than the diameter of the first hole 7a and smaller than the diameter of the second hole 7b. The flange portion 15 of the reflecting member 4 is fitted and arranged in the step of the hole portion 7 of the light guide plate 6. The depth of the second hole 7b of the light guide plate 6 is desirably set so as not to interfere with the reflecting member 4 of the LED light source 10.

本実施の形態に係るLED光源10、面状光源装置および表示装置では、導光板6の第1の孔部7aよりLED光源10の反射材料4の庇部15が大きいため、孔部7aから出射面側にもれる光を完全に防ぐことができる。このため、導光板6の孔部位置とLED光源10の位置決めが正確でなくとも出射面側に光漏れが発生することがなく、冗長性を持った面状光源装置を設計することが可能になる。   In the LED light source 10, the planar light source device, and the display device according to the present embodiment, since the flange portion 15 of the reflective material 4 of the LED light source 10 is larger than the first hole portion 7a of the light guide plate 6, the light is emitted from the hole portion 7a. Light that leaks to the surface side can be completely prevented. For this reason, even if the position of the hole portion of the light guide plate 6 and the LED light source 10 are not accurately positioned, light leakage does not occur on the exit surface side, and it is possible to design a planar light source device having redundancy. Become.

なお、本実施の形態では図6の構成において導光板6の孔部7に段差を設けたが、図5の構成において段差を設けてもよい。   In the present embodiment, a step is provided in the hole 7 of the light guide plate 6 in the configuration of FIG. 6, but a step may be provided in the configuration of FIG.
