Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a pattern manufacturing method of a prism sheet or a light guide plate used for a backlight such as a liquid crystal display, and more particularly, a processing surface of a prism sheet or a light guide plate fixed to an upper surface of a stage rotating at a high speed and integrally rotating with the stage. The present invention relates to a pattern manufacturing method of a prism sheet or a light guide plate for forming a spiral prism pattern or a light guide pattern by reflecting and condensing a laser beam onto the laser beam.
In general, a prism sheet or a light guide panel is a plate that provides a path for condensing or uniformly scattering and diffusing light emitted from a light source to have a constant directionality, and is a light receiving flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display device. It is applied to the surface light source device used for an apparatus, a lighting signboard, etc.
As a surface light source device using a light guide plate, a method of disposing a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) or an LED is widely used. Such a surface light source device is Korean Patent Application Nos. 195-33115, 2001-25870, 2001-53844, 2002-26023, 2002-28919, 2003-03466, 2004-73443 , 2005-12556, 2006-32631, 2006-135207, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional surface
Looking at the path of the light of the surface
However, the
The light guide plate of the printing method is inconvenient in the manufacturing and printing process of the ink for forming the
In order to solve the above problems, a non-printing method was applied. As a non-printing method, an injection molding method using a mold may be used. In this injection molding method, a plurality of mold modifications must be repeated to optimize a pattern. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the development cost increases. In addition, as the production period of the mold becomes longer, it is difficult to meet the development demand that the product model changes very rapidly. In addition, when the thickness of the product becomes thick, the cooling time after injection has a problem of lengthening by several minutes, thus decreasing productivity. On the contrary, when the thickness of the product is very thin and the area is large, perfect injection is not performed. This happens.
In order to improve the above problems, there is a method of processing a pattern portion using a laser. In the case of using a laser, it is not affected by the thickness variation of the material, and can be processed to a desired dimension, and there is no need for an additional device such as a mold or a mask. In addition, since a separate material is not applied to the pattern, it is recyclable and environmentally friendly. However, since all the patterns must be processed by moving the mirror, the processing time is very long.
In addition, in the case of the prism sheet is very difficult to manufacture, it has a disadvantage that the cost is expensive, especially when the large area has a problem that the price increases even more. In addition, in the case of the slim backlight, the light source is used on all four sides, but the conventional prism sheet has a directional direction only in one direction. Therefore, it has the disadvantage of being able to use only the light in the vertical direction. An additional cost problem arises in that the prism sheet must be used overlaid in 90 degree phases.
The present invention is to solve the above problems, it is fixed to the upper surface of the stage rotating at high speed by reflecting and condensing the laser beam on the processing surface of the prism sheet or the light guide plate that is integrally rotated, the spiral prism An object of the present invention is to provide a pattern manufacturing method of a prism sheet or a light guide plate for forming a pattern or a light guide pattern.
According to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, a method of manufacturing a pattern of a prism sheet or light guide plate is disclosed, which method (a) is connected to a pattern design system in which data for a pattern to be formed on the prism sheet or light guide plate is stored. In the control system, transmitting the position signal corresponding to the coordinate value of each pattern to be formed in the prism sheet or the light guide plate to the header part based on the data stored in the pattern design system; Reflecting the laser beam output from the laser system to the prism sheet or the light guide plate in the header part mechanically moving along the central fixed axis according to the position signal transmitted from the system, and (c) Free to be fixed to the upper surface of the stage rotating at high speed to rotate integrally with the stage And forming a pattern on the processed surface of the sheet or light guide plate by the reflected laser beam, wherein the laser beam reflected from the header portion, together with the high speed rotation of the stage and the movement of the header portion moving along the central fixed axis, It is characterized by forming a pattern having a groove in the form of a spiral is collected on the processing surface of the prism sheet or the light guide plate.
Preferably, the optical unit included in the header unit for reflecting the laser beam has a structure in which the angle of incidence of the laser beam output from the laser system is adjustable.
Preferably, the spiral groove is characterized by being a solid line or a dotted line.
Preferably, the pattern is characterized in that the length of the grooves is gradually formed longer away from the light source, or the pitch between the grooves is gradually narrowed away from the light source.
Preferably, the pattern is characterized in that the groove length is gradually longer and the pitch between the grooves is gradually narrower as the distance from the light source.
Preferably, the pattern is characterized in that the width between the grooves is gradually narrowed away from the light source.
Preferably, the pattern is characterized in that the groove length is gradually formed as the distance from the light source is gradually formed, the pitch between the grooves is formed narrow, or the width between the grooves is formed narrow.
Preferably, the intensity of the laser beam output from the laser system can be adjusted according to the position on the processing surface of the prism sheet or the light guide plate.
As described above, the method of rotating the prism sheet or the light guide plate at a high speed and processing the laser can process the prism sheet or the light guide plate in a very fast time, unlike the conventional method, thereby greatly increasing the productivity. . The size of the device can also be reduced compared to the prior art, which can significantly reduce the cost of the device.
In addition, both the prism pattern and the light guide pattern have a directivity perpendicular to the center of the prism sheet or the light guide plate due to the spiral pattern shape. Therefore, in the case of the slim backlight having the light source on the four surfaces, the luminance characteristic toward the center has the best pattern characteristic.
In addition, since the desired incidence angle can be obtained by tilting the optical unit, the cross-sectional angle of the pattern can be controlled to a desired angle, thereby obtaining a larger prism effect. In addition, since all of these prisms have a structure that uniformly faces the center of the light guide plate, an effective brightness increase can be expected.

On the other hand, since the etching method by scanning the laser beam on the acrylic or polycarbonate resin is a method of heating the surface of the resin with strong energy, smoke is generated due to the evaporated resin material. Such smoke may cause absorption or scattering of the laser beam during the scanning process of forming a pattern on the parent material. This reduces the energy of the laser beam being scanned, which interferes with the processing of the desired pattern. In order to eliminate this phenomenon, an
