Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a thin-walled light box without any color slurring, capable of being easily assembled and fabricated and excellent in light utilization efficiency by providing a reflecting pattern consisting of an aggregate of fine bubbles to a light transmitting member. CONSTITUTION:A reflecting pattern 3 is a dotted pattern consisting of an aggregate of fine bubbles 9 formed in a high-refractive-index high-transmittance member such as acrylic resin and glass as the substrate 10 of a light transmission plate 2. The dot density is increased as the distance from a light source 1 increases to attain uniform brightness on the illuminating surface. Since the absolute refractive index of the bubble is low, the relative refractive index at the reflecting interface affecting reflectivity is extremely high as compared with the conventional reflecting pattern using the white pigment or glass bead having a high absolute refractive index, and hence the reflectivity is maximized. Besides, since the bubble 9 is globular, the incident light is refracted and diffused as using a concave lens and further superimposedly refracted and diffused as the bubbles are aggregated, and diffusivity is also excellent.

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, in a thin light box having a light guide plate as a constituent element, a light source is provided facing a side end face of a light guide plate having a reflection pattern of a thin line or halftone dot on one side thereof. The light introduced from the above is reflected by the reflection pattern to be extracted to the illumination surface facing the reflection pattern, and the density of the reflection pattern depends on the distance from the light source in order to make the brightness of the illumination surface uniform. I have changed.

Generally, in order to make the illuminated surface brighter and more uniform, the reflection pattern is required to have a high reflectance and an excellent light diffuse reflectance (diffuse reflectance). High fidelity is also required for reproducibility. Conventionally, as a reflection pattern of such a light guide plate, a matte pattern formed by sandblasting, a metal deposition pattern such as aluminum, or a printing pattern using a white pigment ink is used, and a coating film is added to increase light diffusion. In some cases, glass beads were dispersed therein.

However, among the above-mentioned conventional reflection patterns, the matte reflection pattern reflects the light traveling in the light guide plate by the fine uneven surface formed on the surface of the light guide plate, and the reflection surface is the light guide plate. Since it is a single layer in the thickness direction, there is a lot of light leakage, so there is a drawback that sufficient brightness cannot be obtained.The one using a metal deposition film diffuses the light because the pattern surface is a specular surface. Therefore, in order to maintain the uniformity of the light on the illuminated surface, the shape of the pattern and the assembling of the light box require extremely high precision, and there is a color shift due to the absorption of light from the metal. There was a flaw.

Generally, the reflectance and diffusivity at the interface of different media increase as the relative refractive index between these media increases, but in a light guide plate using a white pigment or glass beads for the reflection pattern, white pigment or glass beads are used. Since the relative index of refraction to the light guide plate is smaller than the relative index of refraction to air, the reflectance and diffusivity when the light traveling in the light guide plate is reflected by the reflection pattern travels in the air. There is a drawback in that the light is not as great as when reflected by these reflection patterns, and therefore the effective utilization rate of the light is so low that the illuminated surface becomes dark.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1A is a view showing a cross section of a light box according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1B is a partially enlarged view of a light guide plate 2 in FIG. 1A, and FIG. FIG. 2 is a plan view schematically enlarging a reflection pattern 3 in FIG. In the thin light box shown in these drawings, a light guide plate 2 having a reflection pattern 3 on the lower surface is housed in a flat housing-like housing 5 having an open upper surface, and the light guide plate 2 faces the side end surface 4 of the light guide plate 2. The light source 1 is provided as a light source, and the open surface of the housing 5 is covered with a light transmitting / diffusing plate 7 that is provided so as to face the upper surface of the light guide plate 2.
The light guide plate 2 is introduced inside and repeats reflection on its inner surface.
After passing through the inside, it is reflected by the reflection pattern 3 and is irradiated on the light transmission diffusion plate 7, and the illumination surface 13 is formed there.

The reflection pattern 3 is a halftone dot pattern composed of an assembly of micro-bubbles 10 formed on a high-refractive-index translucent member such as acrylic resin or glass which is the base 10 of the light guide plate 2. The dot density is increased as the distance is increased so that the brightness of the illuminated surface becomes uniform.
As described above, in the reflection pattern of the present invention composed of an aggregate of minute bubbles, the reflection of the light traveling in the light guide plate 2 is performed at the interface between the minute bubbles 9 and the light guide plate substrate 10. Since the refractive index is small, the relative refractive index at the reflective interface that influences the reflective characteristics is extremely large as compared with the conventional reflective pattern using a white pigment or glass beads having a large absolute refractive index, and thus the reflective property is excellent.

Also, the micro-bubbles 9 forming the reflection pattern
As described above, since the absolute refractive index is smaller than that of the light guide plate substrate 10 and the spherical shape is spherical, the incident light is refracted and diffused like a concave lens, and the microscopic bubbles form an aggregate. Will be superposed. Therefore, the reflection pattern of the present invention is extremely superior in terms of reflectivity and diffusivity to the conventional reflection pattern.
Further, since the reflection pattern 3 of the present invention is the bubbles themselves formed on the light guide plate base body 10, there is no wavelength shift at the reflection interface with respect to the light propagating in the base body 10, and therefore no color shift occurs.

It is possible to use a heat-decomposable foaming agent such as the above or a known heat-sensitive foaming agent that foams by heating. In order to form a reflection pattern composed of aggregates of micro bubbles using a heat-sensitive foaming agent, a coating layer is previously provided in a pattern on the surface of the light guide plate substrate as shown in FIG. 5 in addition to the method of FIG. 4 and dried.

When heated below the temperature, the evolved gas does not foam and is diffused to the surface to fix the reflection pattern.
