[Prior Art] As a surface light source for a backlight of a liquid crystal display panel, a light-transmitting flat plate is used as an edg-light method of a light guide plate. The surface light source is a side incident light from a side end surface (edge portion) of the light guide plate formed by a transparent parallel plate or a wedge-shaped flat plate to spread the entire area of the light guide plate and to propagate the light. A part of the light reflecting member on the back surface of the light guide plate diffuses and reflects light, and diffused light is emitted from the front surface of the light guide plate. The edge light type light guide plate used for the light source of the liquid crystal display panel is widely used because it can reduce the thickness of the light guide plate and simplify the structure. The edge light source of many edge light modes uses a cold cathode tube lamp as its light source, and a cold cathode tube lamp is mounted on the edge of the light guide plate. On the other hand, in recent years, portable devices have become popular, and there is a need for power saving. Fang, & as a backlight source with a π-type device, compared with conventional cold-cathode tube lamps, the use of LED components with low power consumption as a light source has attracted attention and practical use. Figure # is a schematic cross-sectional view of a surface light source using LED elements. As shown in the figure, the side surface light source is composed of a light guide plate 1, a point light source 2 formed by an LED, and the like. A square light source 2 is formed by a plurality of white led wafers 311740 5 ! 254176 at the edge of the V-plate 1 . The light guide plate 1 is provided with a light reflecting surface u on the side perpendicular to the point light source 2, and a light exit surface 12 is provided on the side opposite to the light reflecting surface 11. Then, the light of the point light source 2 is reflected on the three side faces 13 of the light reflecting surface 11 and the guiding pure one, and most of the incident light is finally emitted from the light emitting surface 12 to have uniform light of uniformity. Exit. Further, a diffusion sheet 3 and a lens sheet 4 are disposed on the upper surface of the light exit surface of the light guide plate 1. The structure around the point light source 2 is a structure in which the reflector 22 surrounds the substrate 21 on which the LEDs are mounted, and the light of the point source 2 can be guided to the light guide plate. However, the LED element is used as a light source. At this time, it is necessary to fix a plurality of chip wafers on the substrate 21, and the reflection efficiency of the light is affected by the surface state of the substrate. For example, on the substrate 21, the resistor and the diode are sealed, and light is absorbed by the color tone of the component, which causes a problem of lowering the light efficiency. Further, when the components fixed on the substrate 21 have errors in the right and left directions, there is a problem that the luminance of the left and right sides is uneven. Further, the reflector 22 does not enclose the structure of the body of the point light source 2, so that there is a problem that light leakage is caused and light efficiency is lowered. The yarn of the present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and aims to provide a surface light source with improved light efficiency and improved luminance unevenness. Means for Solving the Problem 311740 6 1254176 The present invention relates to a surface light source device that emits light from a plurality of point light sources disposed on one side of an end surface of a light guide plate and emits light on a light reflecting surface of the light guiding plate. The surface light source device for backlighting is characterized in that the light reflecting surface of the light guide plate is provided with a reflection of the light-emitting surface of the light-reflecting sheet surrounding the majority of the point light sources, and the reverse (four) is provided with a plug. In the insertion port of the above-mentioned point system, the insertion port 4 has a slit σ' and a space for enclosing the light reflecting surface and the plurality of point light sources. The number of populations of the reflective sheet can be set to be the same as the number of point sources, and the point source can be inserted into the insertion port. Further, when a white light that emits white light is used, and a single-color LED that emits monochromatic light is used as a point light source, a wavelength conversion device that converts the light emitted from the single-color LED into white light can be provided on the guide plate. According to the above configuration, the surface light source 1 is placed in a light source such as a light source of a liquid crystal display panel using a point light source. The point light source is inserted and mounted on a population, and thus a reflection sheet exists between the point light sources. As a result, the influence of the substrate to which the point source is fixed can be reduced, and the light leakage can be reduced by the reflection sheet 15 around the light source, thereby improving the light efficiency.

Just fine. For example, when a GaN-based blue LED is used as the fluorescent material, a YAG (yttrium aluminium garnet)-based fluorescent material is used for T. A light reflecting surface u is provided on the side of the light guide plate 1 perpendicular to the point light source 2.... In order to prevent light leakage and improve reflection efficiency, the light reflecting surface 11 is subjected to dot printing or a corneal recess. A light exit surface 12 is provided on a side of the light guide plate 1 opposite to the light reflecting surface u. Thus, the secret of each of the LEDs from the point source 2 is reflected on the m side faces 13 of the light-reflecting surface light guide plate, and most of the persons who emit the light finally emit light having the uniformity of the uniformity from the light exit face. Then, the material of the quick light guide plate 1 is selected from the materials of the translucent core, and usually a acrylic resin or a polycarbonate resin can be used. The shape of the light guide plate i is a parallel flat plate or a wedge-shaped flat plate. The thickness of the light guide plate i is usually about i to 5, and the use of led can be made thinner than when using a cold cathode tube lamp. 311740 8 1254176 Further, other light transmissive materials such as polyacrylic acid ester or thioglycolic acid such as p〇lymethyl methacrylate and p〇lymethyl aery late may be used.

The reflection sheet 5 and the light guide plate 1 are fixed by an adhesive layer 8 such as a double-sided tape or an adhesive. As shown in Fig. 2, an insertion port 7 into which the point light source 2 of the LED can be inserted is provided opposite to the light guide plate 6 surrounded by the reflection sheet 5. Further, a diffusion sheet 3 and a lens sheet 4 are disposed on the upper surface of the light reflecting surface 11 of the light guiding plate 1. The composition of the sheet may be single or two sheets, and the order of overlapping may be reversed. Then, the point light sources 2, . . . mounted on the substrate 21 are respectively inserted into the insertion ports 7 of the reflection sheets 5 fixed to the light guide plate 1 by their insertion ports 7 Empty 311740 9 1254176 between 6 and 6. Then, the substrate 21 on which the LEDs are mounted is fixed by screws or adhesives on the outer frame of the outer side of the light guide plate, and the point light source 2 can be disposed at a predetermined position of the light guide plate. Each of the LED light sources of the 光源 point light source 2····· enters the inside of the light guide plate 1 and is reflected by the light reflection pattern and the three side end faces provided on the light reflecting surface 1 而 to condense the light, and the self-light guide plate The light exiting surface i2 of the light exits from the diffusing plate 3, and is diffused in the same angle range by the lens sheet 4 to be combined and emitted. The liquid crystal display panel can be disposed close to the lens sheet 4. As described above, 'the light guide plate 1 is covered by the reflection sheet 5, and the point light source 2 is inserted on the side of the light incident surface la. 6 and the insertion point π 7 is inserted and the point light source 2 is mounted.

As a result, the surface of the substrate 21 between the point light sources 2····· is covered by the reflection sheet 5, and the color tone and mounting of the substrate 21 can be prevented. The influence of the parts reduces the yield. Further, since the reflection sheet 5 surrounds the light guide plate 1, it is possible to prevent light leakage from both sides of the point source 2. Fig. 3 shows the reflection sheet 5 shown in Fig. 2 attached to the guide The light plate! The front reflection sheet 5 is expanded in an oblique view. As shown in Fig. 3, the reflection sheet 5 is provided with a reflection surface u, three side surfaces 13 of the light guide plate i, and is formed with respect to the light incident surface la.

The reflection sheet 5 is composed of a single piece. Further, the reflection sheet 5 may be a white or silver reflection sheet. According to the configuration of the present invention, the average luminance on the exit surface of the light guide plate is compared with the conventional structure shown in FIG. It can be increased by about 20%. In addition, in the above embodiment, a white coffee wafer is used, but a plurality of single-color LED chips (for example, blue) can be used for the point light source 2. In this case, the light guide plate can be used for the light guide plate. The wavelength conversion device of the light source is converted into a white light wavelength conversion device. For example, the wavelength conversion device may be a fluorescent material added to the light guide plate, or a light emitting surface 12 or a light reflecting surface 11 provided on the light guide plate The fluorescent material is composed of a YAG-based fluorescent material, and the YAG-based fluorescent material can be used as the fluorescent material.
