본 발명은 직하 발광형 백라이트(back light)에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 형광램프가 중력에 의해 처지는 것을 방지하기 위해 형광램프를 지지하는 지지부재의 구조를 개선한 직하 발광형 백라이트에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a direct light emitting backlight (back light), and more particularly, to a direct light emitting backlight having improved structure of a support member for supporting a fluorescent lamp in order to prevent the fluorescent lamp from sagging by gravity.
통상적으로, 평판표시장치(flat panel display)는 발광형과 수광형으로 분류되는데, 발광형으로는 음극선관, 전계 발광(Electro Luminescent;EL) 소자, 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널(Plasma Display Panel;PDP) 등이 있고, 수광형으로는 액정 디스플레이(Liquid Crystal Display;LCD) 등이 있다.In general, a flat panel display is classified into a light emitting type and a light receiving type, and the light emitting type includes a cathode ray tube, an electroluminescent (EL) element, a plasma display panel (PDP), and the like. The light receiving type includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) and the like.
상기 액정 디스플레이는 그 자체가 발광하여 화상을 형성하지 못하고 외부로부터 빛을 받아 화상을 형성하는 수광형 소자이므로, 별도의 광원, 예컨대 백라이트를 설치하여 어두운 곳에서는 화상을 관찰할 수 있도록 하고 있다.The liquid crystal display itself is a light-receiving element that emits light and does not form an image, but receives light from the outside to form an image. Thus, a separate light source, for example, a backlight is provided to allow an image to be observed in a dark place.
상기 액정 디스플레이용 백라이트는 형광램프의 설치 형태에 따라 다수의 형광램프를 액정 아래에 평면 배열하는 직하 발광형(direct light type)과 도광판의 측부에 형광램프가 설치되는 가장자리 발광형(edge light type)으로 구분된다. 그리고, 상기 형광램프로는 양끝 전극이 관내에 설치된 냉음극 형광램프(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp;CCFL)와, 양끝 전극이 관외에 설치된 외부전극 형광램프(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp;EEFL) 등이 사용된다.The backlight for the liquid crystal display includes a direct light type for arranging a plurality of fluorescent lamps under the liquid crystal according to the installation form of the fluorescent lamp and an edge light type for installing the fluorescent lamp on the side of the light guide plate. Separated by. The fluorescent lamp may be a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) having both ends of the electrode installed inside the tube, and an External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp (EEFL) having both ends of the electrode outside the tube.
상기 가장자리 발광형은 일측에서만 광을 조사하는 방식이므로, 요구되는 휘도 조건을 만족할 수 없기 때문에 대형패널에는 그 적용이 부적합하다. 따라서, 최근에는 외부전극을 이용한 직하 발광형의 백라이트에 대한 요구가 점점 커지고 있으며, 이에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다.The edge emission type is a method of irradiating light from only one side, and thus the application of the edge emission type is not suitable for a large panel because it cannot satisfy the required luminance condition. Therefore, in recent years, the demand for a direct light emitting backlight using an external electrode is increasing, and research on this is being actively conducted.
도 1에는 상기 직하발광형을 채용한 종래 백라이트의 일례를 나타낸 분리 사시도가 도시되어 있다.1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of a conventional backlight employing the direct light emitting type.

In order to solve such a problem, conventionally, a lamp ring 20 is inserted into each fluorescent lamp 10, and the inserted lamp ring 20 supports the fluorescent lamp 10 so that the fluorescent lamp 10 ) Prevents sagging by gravity.
그러나 이러한 종래 직하 발광형 백라이트는 다음과 같은 문제점을 가진다.However, such a conventional direct-emitting backlight has the following problems.
첫째; 각 형광램프마다 램프링을 삽입하여야 하므로, 조립 공정이 복잡해지고, 이 때문에 제조원가가 상승한다.first; Since the lamp ring must be inserted in each fluorescent lamp, the assembly process is complicated, which leads to an increase in manufacturing cost.
둘째; 상기 형광램프로부터 상부로 향하는 빛이 상기 램프링에 의해 차단되어 휘도의 불균일 현상이 발생한다.second; Light directed upward from the fluorescent lamp is blocked by the lamp ring so that a phenomenon of uneven brightness occurs.
셋째; 백라이트가 세워진 경우, 종래 램프링의 구조에 의해서는 형광램프(10)가 중력방향으로 처지는 것을 방지할 수 없다.third; When the backlight is erected, the fluorescent lamp 10 cannot be prevented from sagging in the direction of gravity by the structure of the conventional lamp ring.
본 발명은 상술한 바와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 형광램프 지지부재의 조립공정을 단순화하고, 백라이트를 세웠을 때에도 형광램프가 중력방향으로 처지는 것을 방지할 수 있으며, 형광램프의 지지부재에 의해 휘도가 불균일해지는 현상이 발생하지 않는 직하 발광형 백라이트를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention is to solve the problems described above, to simplify the assembly process of the fluorescent lamp support member, and to prevent the fluorescent lamp from sagging in the direction of gravity even when the backlight is set up, the luminance by the support member of the fluorescent lamp It is an object of the present invention to provide a direct-emitting backlight that does not occur unevenly.
