Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Background Art [0002] In recent years, in accordance with a demand for thinning of mobile devices, a surface light source device applied to a device is also required to be gradually thinned. On the other hand, even if the thickness of the planar light guide plate can be reduced for thinning the surface light source device, there is a limit in reducing the height of the light source made of the LED. Therefore, in the case of using a thin flat light guide plate, the height of the light source becomes larger than the thickness of the incident surface of the light guide plate, so that the light source arranged opposite to the incident surface of the light guide plate becomes higher than the upper surface of the light guide plate.
When the light source is higher than the light guide plate, all of the light supplied from the light source does not enter the incident surface of the light guide plate, and a part of the light leaks to the outside. In order to solve such a problem, a wedge-shaped light receiving portion called "edge" having a larger thickness than the main body of the light guide plate is provided on one side of the planar light guide plate main body to enlarge the incident surface, As shown in Fig.
FIG. 1 illustrates a planar light source device using the light guide plate having such a structure. Referring to FIG. 1, the surface

The present invention has been proposed to solve the problems of the above-mentioned prior arts. It is an object of the present invention to provide a light guide plate structure for a backlight unit which is applicable to a surface light source device for backlighting and which can improve the overall structure to prevent light leakage and luminance uniformity deterioration.
Therefore, the present inventors have found that:
First, when the light supplied from the light source enters the incident surface of the light receiving portion in the beginning, the light guide plate is designed to have the directivity in the direction of the optical axis,
Second, the outgoing optical pattern is structurally and morphologically improved;

The light guide structure of the present invention comprises:
And a wedge-shaped light receiving section formed on the light source side of the main body so as to have a greater thickness than the main body, the main body including a plurality of convex lenticular optical patterns formed in parallel to the optical axis direction on the emission surface side And the light receiving unit is based on a conventional light guide plate structure including a light incident surface on the front surface and a rear surface inclined toward the upper surface of the main body at an upper end of the incident surface;

According to the light guide plate structure of the present invention, 1) the light supplied from the light source is guided in the direction of the optical axis through the guide hole or the tube formed in parallel to the optical axis direction so that diffusion and spreading of light are suppressed in left and right directions, 2) At the same time, light leakage and loss in the lateral and longitudinal directions of the pattern are prevented by the light-leakage preventing filler disposed between the light-emitting-side light patterns. As a result, the light efficiency is increased over the entire light exit surface, and the luminance uniformity of the entire light guide plate is prevented from being lowered.
