Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce consumption of electric power and to obtain a display image high in luminance by using a straight tube type fluorescent lamp provided with a reflective film on the side reverse to the side facing a liquid crystal plate as a light source. CONSTITUTION:An illumination device 7 provided with a built-in fluorescent lamp 6 is arranged on the backside of a display part 5 consisting of a liquid crystal plate 1. A reflective film 10 is formed on at least half or more of the outer circumference of the glass tube 8 of the lamp 6. Therefore, consumption of power is saved, and an image of high luminance is obtained.

In general, a transmissive liquid crystal display device requires a light source on the back side because the liquid crystal is not a self-luminous element. Further, the image display area of the liquid crystal display board is small due to manufacturing limitations of the liquid crystal display board, and many of the images displayed are numbers or simplified figures. The light source of such conventional liquid crystal display devices is often a small incandescent light bulb or a combination of a small incandescent light bulb and a light guide.

Conventional outflow type liquid crystal display devices are constructed as described above, but since the display area is small, there is no problem even if a small incandescent bulb is used, which has the disadvantage of low efficiency and heat generation. It didn't happen.

However, recently, it has become common to construct a transmission type liquid crystal display device in which a large number of liquid crystal plates are combined to increase the display area. In this case, if a small incandescent light bulb is used as a light source, it will require a large number of bulbs due to its low efficiency, resulting in a significant increase in power consumption, and it will be difficult to maintain the functionality of the entire display device as it generates a large amount of heat. In order to prevent this from LL, a large-scale cooling device is required, which is a disadvantageous factor for the performance of the display device. .
