This device is a device in which a large-area substrate having a maximum size corresponding to the liquid crystal panel of the liquid-surface panel is completely covered with an LED element, and only the LED necessary for curing the predetermined sealing material is illuminated. Fig. 5 is a schematic view showing a configuration of a light irradiation device in which LEDs are arranged on a substrate, and Fig. 5(a) is a front view of a light source portion viewed from an irradiation surface side. Fig. 5(b) is a view from the lateral direction Side view. The light irradiation device 800 is configured such that the light source is constituted by a plurality of LEDs 81, and the LEDs 81 are arranged in a row on the light source platform 8 2 . The light irradiation device selects a lighting field for a power supply device (not shown) having switching ON/OFF for each LED ‘, and power is supplied from the power supply device to L E D 8 1 . According to Patent Document 1, the workpiece is, for example, a glass substrate for a liquid crystal panel. At this time, a sealing material 84 is formed in a rectangular shape along the predetermined frame [S] -5 - 201111695 between the two substrates 8 3, 8 3 , and liquid crystal is filled in the frame. In order to harden the sealing material 84 sandwiched by the substrate 83' 83, only the electric power is supplied to the LED selected in accordance with the frame of the rectangular shape, and the light is irradiated. However, in recent years, the liquid crystal panel has been enlarged, for example, in the most advanced liquid crystal panel factory, it has been expanded to a size called G10 (2850×3050 mm). 'The irradiation area of the glass substrate is also enlarged. Therefore, the number of LEDs of the light source is increased, and the size of the LED substrate is increased, and the amount of heat generated from the LED is increased. Conventionally, a light source of a light-irradiating device is constituted by one or a small number of LED substrates. However, since the area of the substrate is large, the substrate is expanded by heat, or the stress is bent to cause deformation. In this way, the occurrence of defects such as the deflection of the LED or the lens, or the reduction of the illuminance or the occurrence of uneven illumination distribution may occur. In order to prevent deformation of the LED substrate, for example, a method of dividing the LED substrate into a plurality of LED substrates, reducing stress, or a method of cooling the substrate is considered. However, when the LED substrate is divided into a plurality of numbers, the amount of wiring derived from each of the LED boards is large in a light irradiation device in which a plurality of LED light sources are arranged in a row without a gap. There are difficulties in handling. Further, it is necessary to provide a space for wiring redundantly, and there is also a problem that the device is disadvantageous in size. As such, only the deformation of the substrate -6-201111695 is solved, and other problems occur. Further, the size of the LED substrate is such that the glass substrate corresponding to the liquid crystal panel has a large area, and it is difficult to solve the problem of deformation of the substrate only by cooling such as water cooling, and if a heat exchanger such as a heat pipe is separately prepared, the cost is increased. In the above, the present invention is a light-irradiating device in which a plurality of LEDs are used as a single-segment light source and arranged in a matrix, and at the same time, the problem of the deformation of the LED substrate and the refinement of the feed wiring is solved. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a light irradiation device which irradiates light which is hardened by a sealant disposed between substrates having light transmissivity.

Further, in the present invention, the light guide body is in contact with the water-cooling plate, and according to the present invention, the plurality of LED substrates arranged in an array are fixed to the lower portion of the water-cooled plate in 201111695, so that the substrate is cooled and stressed. Also, there is no case where the substrate is deformed and the LED is biased. Therefore, a situation in which the illuminance distribution is uneven can be generated. Further, in the mounted LED substrate, a hole penetrating vertically is formed in the water-cooling plate, and the wiring is handled simply for the purpose of connecting the hole to the power source, so that the power supply can be prevented from being shortened. Further, since the LED substrate is arranged for division, if there is one substrate, it is easy to replace. Further, the present invention is a plurality of segment light sources in which the LED substrate is used as a light source in a row, and has an LED' lens and a light guide corresponding to the LED substrate. Therefore, the LED substrate is fixed to the lower surface of the board, so that the substrate is cooled and the stress is small, so that it is not deformed. Therefore, the position of the LED or the position of the lens unit is deviated. Moreover, since the LED substrate is used for each of the light sources, even if the LED substrate is deteriorated, the mounting and removal are simple and easy to replace. Further, according to the present invention, the light guide of the segment light source directly abuts against the plate, and the lens unit can be cooled via the light guide. Therefore, the thermal expansion of the lens is suppressed, and the deviation of the arrangement relationship can be prevented. [Embodiment] Fig. 1 is a view for explaining a light irradiation device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, in the light-irradiating device 100, it is arranged that the LED-cooled substrate is not water-cooled, and the water-cooling unit is formed in a total of -8-201111695. Plate-shaped support member i〇, ii. These support members 10'11 are fixed by a frame (not shown). The support member 10 is disposed at equal intervals such that the directions in which the respective faces extend are parallel, and the light irradiation unit 20 is detachably mounted between the two support members 1A. That is, the light-irradiating unit 20 is slid in the direction parallel to the extending direction of the supporting member 10, and the light-irradiating unit 20 is attached to the supporting member 1 1 disposed at the center of the apparatus. The light irradiation device 20 includes a fitting portion (not shown) that is fitted to the support member 1A, a power supply device 22 that is disposed on the upper surface side, and a plurality of segment light sources 23 that are attached to the lower surface side. The support member 1 is, for example, aluminum or non-recorded steel. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the light irradiation unit 20 viewed from the lower side. The segment light sources 23 attached to the lower surface side of the light irradiation unit 20 are arranged in a matrix in a state in which the light irradiation direction is downward. This segment of the light source 23 is an LED (not shown) as a light source in the figure; each of them is independently fed to emit light. On the upper surface side of the segment light source 23, a water-cooling plate 24 and a power source 22 are provided. In Fig. 3, the configuration of the segment of the light source is shown. The LED substrate 237 on which the plurality of LEDs are fixed is disposed on the lower surface of the water-cooling plate 24 by screws or the like. The LED substrate 237 is formed by, for example, forming a wiring pattern by printing using aluminum as a substrate, and the upper surface is in close contact with the water-cooling plate 234. Each of the LEDs is mounted such that the LED lens 231 made of, for example, a molded light-transmitting resin covers the periphery thereof. The light emitted from the LED is -9 - 201111695 - the surface is refracted or reflected by the inside of the LED lens 231, and the direction is guided. The light emitted from each of the LED lenses is a planar light by a lens unit formed by a plurality of lenses. The configuration of the lens unit is shown in the figure as two multi-lens 232, and a Fresnel lens 2 3 3, and the light is mixed by the multi-lens 2 2 2, by means of a Fresnel lens. 2 3 3 Adjusting to emit at a predetermined angle Although not illustrated, a lens or a lens using a cylinder instead of a Fresnel lens may be used. Each of the lenses formed in the lens unit is guided by a light guide 236. The light guide body is made to leak light emitted from the LED in an undesired direction by using a resin or a metal plate into a rectangular tube. The upper end surface of 236 is abutted against the water-cooled plate 24, and is supported by support. At this time, the light irradiated by each of the segment light sources 23 is light having a rectangular cross section in the direction of the pair, and the irradiation surface is irradiated with a degree of expansion. In order to perform uniformity for the selected desired region, the light emitted from each segment of the light source is surrounded by the light guide body 236, and the excess light is superimposed on the illumination surface to prevent the illumination from being uneven. situation. An example of illuminating the irradiation direction is a method of constituting only four sides of the frame when irradiated in a rectangular region. The segment light source is selected to illuminate the light to a desired shape. Therefore, 'when the times are not hardened by the same size, even if the fields to be irradiated are changed one by one, it is toward a certain combination, for example, a lens (homogenization, and, in addition, is a spherical support body, the light guide body is protected by The illuminating stroke is emitted at a certain angle. By the frame that is distributed, it can work without shifting the -10-201111695 moving light source. Figure 4(a) is a sectional view of the plurality of light sources, and Figure 4(b) is a horizontal view. An enlarged cross-sectional view of a part of the light irradiation device of the present invention for explaining the arrangement relationship between the segment light source, the water-cooling plate, and the power source is omitted. The description of the configuration similar to that of Fig. 3 is omitted. The inside of the water-cooling plate 24 is formed. There is a flow path 241 for circulating a cooling medium. Further, a hole 242 which penetrates the water-cooling plate 24 up and down is formed corresponding to each position where one LED substrate is mounted. This is necessary to derive the feeder according to the number of LED substrates. The power source 22 provided on the upper portion of the water-cooling plate 24 is disposed on each of the LED substrates and has a function of supplying power of the substrate unit. Further, the power source 22 is received from an unillustrated device provided on the LED substrate. The feedback of the photodiode has a function of changing the electric power. The LED substrate 237 is closely attached to the lower surface portion 243 of the water-cooling plate 24, for example, by screws 234. Thus, the LED substrate 237 is not used in a large area. At least each of the light sources is divided and mounted, so that deformation of the substrate, bending, or the like due to heat generated from the LED can be solved. Further, the LED substrate 237 is divided and installed at least for each of the light sources. Therefore, it is easy to replace. For example, when the LED is degraded and it has to be replaced, the LED substrate can be removed or mounted in units of the segment light source, and the operation is very simple. Moreover, the deterioration of the LED is made by using the LED substrate. The illustrated photodiode can be detected. A connector 235 for feeding is connected to each LED substrate 237. The connector 23 5 is a feed line 23 8 -11 at both ends thereof, for example, having a metal pin. - 201111695, 23, one end side is electrically connected to the LED substrate 23 7. The other end side of the feed pin 239 extending from the connector 23 5 is derived through the hole 242 formed in the water-cooling plate 24 To the upper side, but connected In addition, the feed pin 239 is shown to be extremely small in diameter, so that it is not in contact with the water-cooling plate 24 to maintain insulation. However, depending on the supplied electric power, it is covered with an insulator such as resin. Therefore, the power is supplied from the power source 22 to the LED substrate 237 through the hole 242 of the water-cooling plate 24, so that the wiring is not complicated, the processing is simple, and the wiring is made smaller. Therefore, the device can be miniaturized. Further, the feeding circuit from the power source to the LED substrate can be shortened, and power consumption can be prevented. Further, the upper end surface of the light guide body 23 made of metal is in contact with water cooling. The plate 24, the body of the light guide body 23 is cooled, and the held lens unit can also be cooled. Thereby, the thermal expansion of the light guide body 23 or the lens constituting the lens unit can be suppressed, and the effect of the deviation of the lens arrangement relationship or the like is less likely to occur.
