Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a diffusion sheet from separating a liquid crystal owing to heat generated by the illumination of a light source and to prevent display characteristic from deteriorating by inserting a transparent plate which supports the diffusion sheet into the gap between the diffusion sheet and a linear Fresnel prism. CONSTITUTION:The transparent plate 9 is inserted into the gap between the diffusion sheet 4 provided on the reverse surface of a liquid crystal panel and the linear Fresnel prism plate 5. The tubular light source 7 is applied with a voltage by a turning-on device to emit light with specific brightness and the light passes through light guide plate 6, the linear Fresnel prism plate 5, and a transparent plate 9 and is diffused by the diffusion sheet 4 and modulated by the liquid crystal panel 1 to display a pattern. The heat generated by the tubular light source 7 is conducted to the liquid crystal panel 1 through the light guide plate 6, linear Fresnel prism plate 5, transparent plate 9, and diffusion sheet 4 to cause the diffusion sheet 4 to deform, but the transparent plate 9 prevents the diffusion sheet 4 from separating from the liquid crystal panel 1.

[Prior Art] A liquid crystal display device is a passive display device that does not emit light to the eye, and by controlling the transmittance or reflectance of light, it can be used to control illumination light such as natural light or illumination light from a backlight provided inside. modulates and displays Nobuter 2. In particular, in the case of a liquid crystal display device using a color film, since the amount of light is reduced, it is essential to provide a backlight for the purpose of making the display easier to see. Furthermore, the development of high-performance lighting devices is desired in order to realize high-brightness, thin liquid crystal display devices for use in portable televisions and laptop computers. In this case, an edge light method has been proposed and used which can reduce the depth of the device as a backlight.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional liquid crystal display device as described above, there is a strong demand for thinning, and it is necessary to make the backlight thinner, and as a result, the tubular light source (7) is confined in a narrow space. As a result, the heat generated from the tubular light source (7) is dissipated and the temperature in the vicinity of the liquid crystal panel (1) and the diffusion panel (1) increases. As the temperature rises, the diffusion sheet (4) dissociates from the liquid crystal panel (1) toward the gap (8) provided to reduce moiré fringes, as shown in FIG.
There was a problem in that moiré fringes appeared and the image quality deteriorated.
