Description

背光模組及導光板Backlight module and light guide plate

本發明是有關於一種光學模組與光學元件,且特別是有關於一種背光模組與導光板。The present invention relates to an optical module and an optical component, and more particularly to a backlight module and a light guide plate.

近年來隨著顯示科技與照明技術的成熟,各種大小類型的顯示裝置以及照明裝置如液晶顯示器(liquid crystal display,LCD)與平面光源等裝置已發展成熟並廣泛地應用於人們的日常生活中。為了符合消費者對於大型顯示裝置或是大範圍的均勻平面光源的需求,各式各樣的導光板與背光模組被設計以滿足大尺寸之應用。In recent years, with the maturity of display technology and lighting technology, various types of display devices and illumination devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and planar light sources have matured and are widely used in people's daily life. In order to meet consumer demand for large display devices or a wide range of uniform planar light sources, a wide variety of light guides and backlight modules are designed to meet large size applications.

一般而言,基於經濟考量,為了節省製造成本與體積重量,通常採用側光式的照明方式。然而,在側光式的背光模組中,由於發光元件配置於導光板的側邊,再藉由導光板將這些發光元件由導光板側邊發出的光傳導到導光板較中央的部分。如此一來,容易造成導光板周圍輝度較高而中央區域輝度較低的情形,而影響顯示品質。In general, based on economic considerations, in order to save manufacturing costs and volumetric weight, side-lit lighting is often used. However, in the edge-lit backlight module, since the light-emitting elements are disposed on the side of the light guide plate, the light emitted from the light-emitting elements from the side of the light guide plate is guided to the center of the light guide plate by the light guide plate. As a result, it is easy to cause a high luminance around the light guide plate and a low luminance in the central region, which affects the display quality.

其中,若是提高發光元件的亮度以企圖改善導光板中央 區域輝度較低的情形,則會造成在導光板靠近入光面的周圍區域的輝度明顯過高。為了遮擋這些輝度過高的區域,因此前框(front bezel)的寬度也隨之增加,而會造成可觀看的顯示區域縮小的情形。因此,如何在不犧牲顯示畫面的大小之情況下使得背光模組的出光均勻度提升是目前亟待解決之問題。Wherein, if the brightness of the light-emitting element is increased in an attempt to improve the center of the light guide plate In the case where the luminance of the region is low, the luminance in the surrounding region of the light guide plate near the light incident surface is significantly too high. In order to block these areas of excessive brightness, the width of the front bezel is also increased, which causes the viewable display area to shrink. Therefore, how to improve the uniformity of the light output of the backlight module without sacrificing the size of the display screen is an urgent problem to be solved.

此外,中華民國專利公開第201209480號揭露一種背光模組結構,具有一第一彎曲凸面與第二彎曲凸面。中華民國專利公告第M292707號揭露一種導光板入光面結構,具有複數個可破壞光行進路徑的調光結構體,其中各調光結構體可根據不同光源有效調整光源較暗或較亮之區域以提高出光輝度與均勻度。中華民國專利公開第201039022號揭露了一種導光板結構,具有兩個傾斜面,可降低光在非可視區即射出導光板並形成亮點的情形,而可將光朝向導光板之可視區傳遞,進而可提升光取出之效率。In addition, the Republic of China Patent Publication No. 201209480 discloses a backlight module structure having a first curved convex surface and a second curved convex surface. The Republic of China Patent Publication No. M292707 discloses a light-guide plate entrance surface structure having a plurality of dimming structures that can destroy a light traveling path, wherein each dimming structure can effectively adjust a darker or brighter area of the light source according to different light sources. To improve the brightness and uniformity. The Republic of China Patent Publication No. 201039022 discloses a light guide plate structure having two inclined surfaces, which can reduce the light in the non-visible area, that is, the light guide plate is formed and a bright spot is formed, and the light can be transmitted toward the visible area of the light guide plate, thereby It can improve the efficiency of light extraction.

本發明提供一種導光板,其具有倒角表面,以增加導光的均勻度。The present invention provides a light guide plate having a chamfered surface to increase the uniformity of light guide.

圖2A是依照圖1實施例中背光模組的光於導光板內的強度與位置分布圖,圖2B是圖2A之對照組的光於導光板內的強度與位置分布圖,請參照圖2A與圖2B,在本實施例中,背光模組100例如具有3個發光單元120並配置朝向入光面SI發光,其中光於導光板內的強度與位置分布如圖2A。而圖2B代表未配置第一倒角表面SA1及第二倒角表面SA2的導光板110’內的光強度與位置分布圖。比較圖2A與圖2B,可明顯地發現圖2B中的光集中於入光面SI之側,並且有明顯亮度不均勻的熱點(hot spot)現象,並且在導光板110’較遠離發光單元120之區域的光有著明顯強度下降並且強度不均勻的現象。而在圖2A中熱點現象能夠被有效地改善。並且,導光板110中央區域附近的光強度與均勻度亦有明顯的提升。換言之,具有第一倒角表面SA1及第二倒角表面SA2的導光板110可確實改善出光的均勻度以及強度分布,以使得導光板110的出光品質及出光效率提升。並且,由圖2A與圖2B中可明顯地觀察到,圖2A中出光較均勻的區域面積大於圖2B中出光較均勻的區域,並且圖2B中的光強度過度集中於入光面SI附近而使得出光均勻的區域減少。換言之,在配置相同功率與數量的發光單元120之情形下,具有第一倒角表面SA1及第二倒角表面SA2的導光板110可具有較短的均勻混光距離,亦即光由入光面SI進入導光板110後可在傳遞一段較短的距離後即均勻地分散而不致過度集中。另一方面,不具有第一倒角表面SA1及第二倒角表面SA2的導光板110具有較長的均勻混光距離,亦即光 由入光面SI進入導光板110後得傳遞一段較長的距離後才較為均勻地分散。一般而言,為了避免未均勻混光完成的光被觀察到,會利用邊框(bezel)來遮蔽這段未均勻混光完成的區域。對於導光板110’而言,由於均勻混光距離較長,因此邊框需較寬,然而如此一來導光板110’未被邊框遮蔽的區域(亦即可視範圍)就隨之縮小。另一方面,由於具有第一倒角表面SA1及第二倒角表面SA2的導光板110的均勻混光距離較短,因此可縮小所需的邊框並可具有較大的可視範圍。此外,由於導光板110的均勻混光距離較短,因此亦可搭配多種顏色的發光單元(如紅光、藍光、綠光)以配合混光調光,而亦可均勻地發出白光或是其他種色光。再者,導光板110亦可僅在一側(如第一表面S1或第二表面S2)配置有第一倒角表面SA1或第二倒角表面SA2,而另一側配置例如圖1A的虛線段S’所繪示的垂直邊角,而能具有相似之功效,本發明不以此為限。2A is a diagram showing the intensity and position distribution of the light of the backlight module in the light guide plate according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 , and FIG. 2B is a diagram showing the intensity and position distribution of the light of the control group of FIG. 2A in the light guide plate, please refer to FIG. 2A . 2B, in the present embodiment, the backlight module 100 has, for example, three light emitting units 120 and is arranged to emit light toward the light incident surface SI, wherein the intensity and position distribution of the light in the light guide plate is as shown in FIG. 2A. 2B represents a light intensity and position distribution map in the light guide plate 110' where the first chamfered surface SA1 and the second chamfered surface SA2 are not disposed. Comparing FIG. 2A with FIG. 2B, it can be clearly seen that the light in FIG. 2B is concentrated on the side of the light incident surface SI, and there is a hot spot phenomenon in which the brightness is uneven, and the light guide plate 110' is farther away from the light emitting unit 120. The light in the area has a significant decrease in strength and uneven strength. In Fig. 2A, the hot spot phenomenon can be effectively improved. Moreover, the light intensity and uniformity in the vicinity of the central region of the light guide plate 110 are also significantly improved. In other words, the light guide plate 110 having the first chamfered surface SA1 and the second chamfered surface SA2 can surely improve the uniformity of light emission and the intensity distribution, so that the light-emitting quality and light-emitting efficiency of the light guide plate 110 are improved. Moreover, it can be clearly observed from FIGS. 2A and 2B that the area of the light-exposed area in FIG. 2A is larger than the area in which the light-emitting direction is more uniform in FIG. 2B, and the light intensity in FIG. 2B is excessively concentrated near the light-incident surface SI. The area where the light is uniform is reduced. In other words, in the case of arranging the same power and quantity of the light emitting unit 120, the light guide plate 110 having the first chamfered surface SA1 and the second chamfered surface SA2 may have a shorter uniform light mixing distance, that is, the light is incident on the light. After the surface SI enters the light guide plate 110, it can be uniformly dispersed without excessive concentration after being transmitted for a short distance. On the other hand, the light guide plate 110 having no first chamfered surface SA1 and second chamfered surface SA2 has a long uniform light mixing distance, that is, light. After the light-incident surface SI enters the light guide plate 110, it is transmitted for a long distance and then dispersed more uniformly. In general, in order to avoid light that is not uniformly mixed, a bezel is used to mask the area where the uneven mixing is completed. For the light guide plate 110', since the uniform light mixing distance is long, the frame needs to be wide, but in this way, the area (or the viewable range) in which the light guide plate 110' is not covered by the frame is reduced. On the other hand, since the uniform light-mixing distance of the light guide plate 110 having the first chamfered surface SA1 and the second chamfered surface SA2 is short, the required frame can be reduced and a large visible range can be obtained. In addition, since the uniform light mixing distance of the light guide plate 110 is short, it is also possible to match various color light emitting units (such as red light, blue light, and green light) to match the mixed light dimming, and evenly emit white light or other. Kind of light. Furthermore, the light guide plate 110 may be configured with a first chamfered surface SA1 or a second chamfered surface SA2 on only one side (such as the first surface S1 or the second surface S2), and the other side is configured with a dotted line such as FIG. 1A. The vertical corners depicted by the segment S' can have similar effects, and the invention is not limited thereto.

進一步而言,圖2C是圖2A與圖2B中沿著參考線RL測量到的光強度與位置的關係的折線圖,請參考圖2A至圖2C,其中第一折線I代表圖2A中沿著參考線RL所測量到的光強度與位置的關係的折線,而第二折線I’代表圖2B中沿著參考線RL所測量到的光強度與位置的關係的折線。比較第一折線I與第二折線I’,可發現第二折線I’中的最大強度與最小強度的差異遠大於第一折線I中的最大強度與最小強度的差異。換言之,第一折線I相較於第二折線I’的光強度分布較均勻而不致有明顯的熱點 現象而影響出光品質。更進一步而言,表1示出圖2A與圖2B中導光板110與導光板110’的熱點級別(hot spot level)與熱點改善評估值(hot spot improvement)的數據,請參照表1如下: 其中,導光板的光強度之均勻度為顯示區域中最小光強度除以最大光強度所得到的比值,而熱點級別(hot spot level)為待計算的導光板的均勻度除以導光板110’的均勻度所得到的百分比。其中,導光板110具有較低的熱點級別,即光強度分布較為均勻。並且,熱點改善評估值(即導光板110’與導光板110的熱點級別的差)亦提高,換言之,導光板110可藉由第一倒角表面SA1及第二倒角表面SA2以改善熱點現象,進而使得出光的均勻度提升。Further, FIG. 2C is a line graph of the relationship between the light intensity and the position measured along the reference line RL in FIGS. 2A and 2B, please refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C, wherein the first broken line I represents the along the FIG. 2A. The fold line of the relationship between the light intensity measured by the reference line RL and the position, and the second fold line I' represents a line of the relationship between the light intensity measured along the reference line RL in FIG. 2B and the position. Comparing the first fold line I with the second fold line I', it can be found that the difference between the maximum intensity and the minimum intensity in the second fold line I' is much larger than the difference between the maximum intensity and the minimum intensity in the first fold line I. In other words, the light intensity distribution of the first fold line I is relatively uniform compared to the second fold line I' without causing a significant hot spot phenomenon to affect the light quality. Further, Table 1 shows data of hot spot level and hot spot improvement of the light guide plate 110 and the light guide plate 110' in FIGS. 2A and 2B. Please refer to Table 1 as follows: The uniformity of the light intensity of the light guide plate is the ratio of the minimum light intensity in the display area divided by the maximum light intensity, and the hot spot level is the uniformity of the light guide plate to be calculated divided by the light guide plate 110 ′. The percentage obtained by the uniformity. The light guide plate 110 has a lower hot spot level, that is, the light intensity distribution is relatively uniform. Moreover, the hot spot improvement evaluation value (ie, the difference between the hot spot level of the light guide plate 110' and the light guide plate 110) is also improved. In other words, the light guide plate 110 can improve the hot spot phenomenon by the first chamfered surface SA1 and the second chamfered surface SA2. , in turn, the uniformity of the light is increased.

進一步而言,請再參照圖1A與圖1B,在本實施例中,背光模組100可更包括複數個條狀光學微結構MS,配置於入光面SI,其中每一條狀光學微結構MS沿著實質上垂直於第一表面S1的方向延伸,且這些條狀光學微結構MS沿著實質上平行於第一表面S1的方向排列。其中,這些條狀光學微結構MS可將發光單元120發出的光束B進一步地分散至導光板110內,進而可使得 導光板110的出光均勻度更進一步地提昇。詳細而言,每一條狀光學微結構MS在垂直於條狀光學微結構MS的橫截面上可呈為V形的條狀微結構MSV。其中,圖1B中所繪示的這些條狀微結構MSV的尺寸大小僅用於說明本實施例,本發明不以此為限。並且,在其他實施例中,亦可具有不同形狀的條狀光學微結構MS(如圓柱、凹凸斑紋或是多邊形柱等),本發明亦不以此為限。Further, please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B again. In this embodiment, the backlight module 100 can further include a plurality of strip-shaped optical microstructures MS disposed on the light-incident surface SI, wherein each strip-shaped optical microstructure MS The strips extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first surface S1, and the strip-shaped optical microstructures MS are arranged in a direction substantially parallel to the first surface S1. Wherein, the strip-shaped optical microstructures MS can further disperse the light beam B emitted by the light-emitting unit 120 into the light guide plate 110, thereby enabling The light uniformity of the light guide plate 110 is further improved. In detail, each strip-shaped optical microstructure MS may have a V-shaped strip-shaped microstructure MSV in a cross section perpendicular to the strip-shaped optical microstructure MS. The size of the strip-shaped microstructures MSV shown in FIG. 1B is only used to describe the embodiment, and the invention is not limited thereto. Moreover, in other embodiments, strip optical micro-structures MS (such as cylinders, embossed plaques, or polygonal columns, etc.) having different shapes may also be used, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

更進一步而言,各種導光板類型的熱點級別與熱點改善評估值可參照表2如下: 其中,任二相鄰發光單元120的間距(pitch)為p,而各個發光單元120之發光面到有效照明區之邊緣的最短距離為a。因此a/p比率 可代表對於同一尺寸大小的導光板在相同的照明效果之情況所需使用發光單元120數量,換言之,a/p比率越高,在同樣照明效果之下需使用越多的發光單元120,反之亦然。由表2可得知,相較於不具倒角表面SA的導光板110’,具有第一倒角表面SA1與第二倒角表面SA2的導光板110的熱點級別可降至67%。換言之,在導光板110僅具有倒角表面SA的情形之下,導光板110即可有效地降低熱點現象,同時亦可節省所使用的發光單元120的數量而仍可達到良好的照明效果。若導光板110同時具有第一倒角表面SA1、第二倒角表面SA2與條狀光學微結構MS,熱點級別可更進一步地降低至55%。因此,藉著第一倒角表面SA1、第二倒角表面SA2與條狀光學微結構MS,導光板110可有效地增加出光的均勻度與節約發光單元120的使用數量,以提升出光效果以及降低成本。Furthermore, the hot spot level and hot spot improvement evaluation values of various light guide types can be referred to Table 2 as follows: The pitch of any two adjacent light emitting units 120 is p, and the shortest distance from the light emitting surface of each light emitting unit 120 to the edge of the effective illumination area is a. Therefore, the a/p ratio can represent the number of light-emitting units 120 required for the same illumination effect of the same size of light guide plate. In other words, the higher the a/p ratio, the more illumination is required under the same illumination effect. Unit 120, and vice versa. As can be seen from Table 2, the hot spot level of the light guide plate 110 having the first chamfered surface SA1 and the second chamfered surface SA2 can be reduced to 67% compared to the light guide plate 110' having no chamfered surface SA. In other words, in the case where the light guide plate 110 has only the chamfered surface SA, the light guide plate 110 can effectively reduce the hot spot phenomenon, and at the same time, the number of the light emitting units 120 used can be saved while still achieving a good illumination effect. If the light guide plate 110 has both the first chamfered surface SA1, the second chamfered surface SA2 and the strip-shaped optical microstructure MS, the hot spot level can be further reduced to 55%. Therefore, the light guide plate 110 can effectively increase the uniformity of light emission and save the use of the light-emitting unit 120 by the first chamfered surface SA1, the second chamfered surface SA2 and the strip-shaped optical microstructure MS, so as to enhance the light-emitting effect and cut costs.

此外,在本實施例中,背光模組100可更包括複數個光學微結構M,分布於第一表面S1與第二表面S2之至少其一上。在本實施例中,光學微結構M例如配置在第一表面S1與第二表面S2上,然本發明不以此為限,光學微結構M亦可僅配置於第一表面S1與第二表面S2其中之一,在本實施例中是以配置於第二表面S2上為例。詳細而言,當光於導光板110內全反射傳遞時,這些位在第一表面S1與第二表面S2上的光學微結構M可改變反射條件而使得部份的光散射而由第一表面S1出光,藉此可決定導光板110的出光分布,舉例而言,在導光板110距離發光單元120 較遠的區域的第二表面S2上可配置有較多個光學微結構M以增加輝度,而在導光板110距離發光單元120較近的區域的第二表面S2上可配置較少個光學微結構M以改善輝度過強的情況。此外,搭配可於入光時增加均勻度的條狀光學微結構MS與第一倒角表面SA1或第二倒角表面SA2,可提升整體導光板110的入光及出光的均勻度,以提升導光板110的出光品質及效率。並且,在本實施例中,背光模組100亦可更包括一反射單元RF,配置於第二表面S2旁,其中第二表面S2位於第一表面S1與反射單元RF之間。這些反射單元RF可將由第二表面S2逸出的部分光束B再次反射而重新進入導光板110,藉此可進一步提升導光板110的導光效率,並同時可增加由第一表面S1出光的光強度。In addition, in this embodiment, the backlight module 100 may further include a plurality of optical microstructures M distributed on at least one of the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. In this embodiment, the optical microstructures M are disposed on the first surface S1 and the second surface S2, for example, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the optical microstructures M may be disposed only on the first surface S1 and the second surface. One of the S2s is exemplified by being disposed on the second surface S2 in this embodiment. In detail, when the light is transmitted by the total reflection in the light guide plate 110, the optical microstructures M on the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may change the reflection condition so that part of the light is scattered by the first surface. S1 emits light, thereby determining the light distribution of the light guide plate 110. For example, the light guide plate 110 is away from the light emitting unit 120. A plurality of optical microstructures M may be disposed on the second surface S2 of the farther region to increase the luminance, and a smaller number of optical micros may be disposed on the second surface S2 of the region of the light guide plate 110 closer to the light emitting unit 120. Structure M to improve the case where the luminance is too strong. In addition, the strip optical micro-structure MS and the first chamfered surface SA1 or the second chamfered surface SA2, which can increase the uniformity when entering the light, can improve the uniformity of the light incident and the light output of the whole light guide plate 110, thereby improving Light output quality and efficiency of the light guide plate 110. In addition, in the embodiment, the backlight module 100 further includes a reflective unit RF disposed adjacent to the second surface S2, wherein the second surface S2 is located between the first surface S1 and the reflective unit RF. The reflection unit RF can reflect the partial light beam B escaping from the second surface S2 and re-enter the light guide plate 110, thereby further improving the light guiding efficiency of the light guide plate 110 and simultaneously increasing the light emitted by the first surface S1. strength.

綜上所述,本發明之實施例的背光模組可藉由具有倒角表面的導光板將集中於入光面的光均勻地分布至導光板距離入光面較遠的區域。其中,倒角表面可以是圓弧面或可包括複數個彎折地相接的平面。並且,具有倒角表面的導光板的均勻混光距離較短,進而可縮小邊框的寬度,進而增加導光板的可視區域,同時亦可節省發光單元的數量而仍可達到良好的出光均勻度與強度。此外,導光板可更具有位於入光面上的條狀光學微結構與至少位於第一表面或第二表面的光學微結構以進一步增加導光板的出光均勻度。In summary, the backlight module of the embodiment of the present invention can uniformly distribute the light concentrated on the light incident surface to a region where the light guide plate is farther from the light incident surface by the light guide plate having the chamfered surface. Wherein, the chamfered surface may be a circular arc surface or may include a plurality of planes that are in contact with each other. Moreover, the uniform light-mixing distance of the light guide plate having the chamfered surface is short, thereby reducing the width of the frame, thereby increasing the visible area of the light guide plate, and also saving the number of light-emitting units while still achieving good light-emitting uniformity and strength. In addition, the light guide plate may further have a strip-shaped optical microstructure on the light incident surface and an optical microstructure at least on the first surface or the second surface to further increase the light uniformity of the light guide plate.
