用な蛍光管(冷陰極管)の反射カバーに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a reflective cover for a fluorescent tube. More specifically, the present invention relates to a reflective cover for a fluorescent tube (cold cathode tube) useful as a backlight used in a liquid crystal display device or the like.

バックライトとしてもっばら使用されているのは白色蛍
光管である。この理由は下記の通りである。[Prior Art] Liquid crystal display elements, especially liquid crystal display panels, are widely used in laptop computers, word processors, liquid crystal televisions, pocket liquid crystal televisions, etc. Liquid crystal display panels do not have a self-luminous function, so they cannot be used in dark places. The display is difficult to see, and complex displays have poor contrast and resolution.This is why a light source is placed on the back of the LCD panel to make it easier to see even in the dark and to improve contrast. This light source is called a backlight method, and uses high-intensity fluorescent tubes (between cold cathodes).White fluorescent tubes are most commonly used as backlights.The reasons for this are as follows. be.
■ 光量の割に発熱量が少ない。■ The amount of heat generated is low compared to the amount of light.
■ 蛍光管全体が同一光量発光するので、その斑が少な
い。■ Since the entire fluorescent tube emits the same amount of light, there are fewer spots.
■ 光源としての寿命が長い、等が挙げられる。■ It has a long life as a light source.

管の反射板が要請されている。There is a need for an efficient fluorescent tube reflector that effectively utilizes the light emitted from the light source, improves contrast, reduces power consumption, reduces battery consumption, and reduces size and weight. In other words, there is a need for an efficient fluorescent tube reflector that focuses the emitted light toward the liquid crystal panel and prevents it from escaping to the rear.

The technology is known. Furthermore, the present applicant has already proposed a hollow fluorescent tube reflective cover using silicone rubber or the like in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-167255.

くるといった課題もあった。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-mentioned conventional technology has the problem that it is too time-consuming and lacks mass productivity and precision machinability. That is, with the technique of applying white paint to the fluorescent tube itself, it was difficult to apply the masking tape to the fluorescent tube in a straight line, and the paint oozed out at the boundary surface of the masking tape, making it difficult to apply it in a straight line. In addition, the technology of pasting aluminum foil, white plastic film, white plastic sheet, etc. using adhesive is similar to the above-mentioned method.
It was difficult to apply it in a straight line, and there was a definite problem that it was impossible to retouch it if it bent, and there was also the problem that the film would peel off.

課題があった。Furthermore, the technique of providing a reflective layer on the inside of a fluorescent tube requires high processing costs, lacks versatility, and requires going back to the fluorescent tube manufacturing process and redesigning it for each size of liquid crystal panel. Furthermore, although the invention of Japanese Patent Application No. 1-167255 has a certain effect of improving the above-mentioned conventional technology, it has a new feature that depending on the type of fluorescent tube, heat may accumulate, which may affect the image characteristics of the liquid crystal display element. There was a problem.
