Description
本發明係關於一種擴散板,特別是關於一種表面上具有不同形狀,交互排列之錐狀體之擴散板、以及利用該擴散板之背光模組與顯示裝置。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a diffusing plate, and more particularly to a diffusing plate having a tapered shape with mutually different shapes on the surface, and a backlight module and a display device using the diffusing plate.
液晶顯示技術已廣為被運用於各種領域,例如:電視、攜帶式裝置、數位相機和電腦螢幕等。但是,由於液晶顯示器本身不發光,因此需要藉助一從其背後之發光裝置或「背光模組」來顯示影像。Liquid crystal display technology has been widely used in various fields, such as televisions, portable devices, digital cameras and computer screens. However, since the liquid crystal display itself does not emit light, it is necessary to display an image by means of a light-emitting device or a "backlight module" from the back.
傳統上,背光模組以冷陰極燈管作為其光源。然而,有鑑於發光二極體之諸多優點,似有以發光二極體取代冷陰極燈管之發展趨勢。可是,無論使用何種光源,背光模組之光均勻性必須符合液晶顯示模組之顯示要求。故,若以發光二極體為光源之背光模組,如何使發光二極體之發光均勻,乃發展中之重要課題之一。Traditionally, the backlight module uses a cold cathode lamp as its light source. However, in view of the many advantages of the light-emitting diode, there seems to be a tendency to replace the cold cathode lamp with a light-emitting diode. However, regardless of the light source used, the light uniformity of the backlight module must meet the display requirements of the liquid crystal display module. Therefore, if a backlight module using a light-emitting diode as a light source, how to make the light emission of the light-emitting diode uniform is one of the important topics in development.
圖1顯示一習知技藝之發光二極體背光模組10。要使發光二極體11之發光能均勻地提供給顯示模組,需利用擴散板12和置於擴散板12上方之光學膜片組14來達成,其中擴散板12之表面上可具有複數個金字塔形之凹部,藉此幫助光於擴散板12內之發散,光學膜片組14則可包含一片以上的光學膜片,例如:增光片、擴散片、反射型偏光增光片或上述膜組的組合。然而,發光二極體背光模組10之發光均勻度為發光二極體11間之間距W1 以及擴散板12和發光 二極體11間之距離D1 等之比值所影響,而此一影響決定擴散板12之使用數量。即,若W1 /D1 小於或等於1.25時,則僅使用一片擴散板12便足以使光均勻化;倘若當W1 /D1 大於1.25時,則需兩片擴散板12和13才可使顯示模組獲得均勻之發光,甚至是兩片以上的擴散板。FIG. 1 shows a conventional LED backlight module 10 of the prior art. In order to uniformly provide the illuminating energy of the illuminating diode 11 to the display module, it is achieved by using the diffusing plate 12 and the optical film set 14 disposed above the diffusing plate 12, wherein the diffusing plate 12 may have a plurality of surfaces on the surface thereof. a pyramid-shaped recess for facilitating the divergence of light within the diffuser panel 12, the optical film set 14 may comprise more than one optical film, such as a brightness enhancement sheet, a diffusion sheet, a reflective polarization addition sheet, or the above-mentioned film group combination. However, the light emitting uniformity of the light emitting diode 10 of the backlight module is a light emitting diode 11 from the influence of the ratio D 1, etc. The distance W is 11 and a diffusion plate 1 and the light emitting diode 12, and this impact The number of uses of the diffusion plate 12 is determined. That is, if W 1 /D 1 is less than or equal to 1.25, then only one diffusion plate 12 is sufficient to homogenize the light; if W 1 /D 1 is greater than 1.25, two diffusion plates 12 and 13 are required. The display module is evenly illuminated, even two or more diffusers.
然而,隨著節能化之要求,發光二極體11之使用數量將縮減,在使用同樣大小的顯示模組的情形下,發光二極體11間之間距W1 必將增加。當間距增加使W1 /D1 超過1.25時,為了維持一定之發光均勻度,則必須使用兩片擴散板12和13。雖然,增加擴散板12和13之數量可使發光均勻,但隨著擴散板12和13之用量增加,發光二極體背光模組10之成本亦隨之上升。However, with the demand for energy saving, the number of use of the light-emitting diodes 11 will be reduced, and in the case of using the same size display module, the distance W 1 between the light-emitting diodes 11 will necessarily increase. When the pitch is increased such that W 1 /D 1 exceeds 1.25, in order to maintain a certain degree of uniformity of illumination, two sheets of diffusion plates 12 and 13 must be used. Although increasing the number of the diffusion plates 12 and 13 makes the light emission uniform, as the amount of the diffusion plates 12 and 13 increases, the cost of the light-emitting diode backlight module 10 also increases.
綜上所述,目前發光二極體背光模組利用擴散板和置於擴散板上方之光學膜片組來達成光均勻化之目的,雖然擴散板上可配置用於幫助光發散之複數個金字塔形之凹部,然而,此亦不足以解決當發光二極體間或發光二極體與擴散板間之幾何比例改變後,造成對光均勻度之影響。故,此方面仍有待新的技術之開發。In summary, the current LED backlight module utilizes a diffusion plate and an optical film set placed above the diffusion plate to achieve light homogenization, although the diffusion plate can be configured with a plurality of pyramids for helping light to diverge. The concave portion of the shape, however, is not sufficient to solve the effect on the uniformity of light after the geometrical ratio between the light-emitting diodes or between the light-emitting diodes and the diffusing plate is changed. Therefore, this aspect still needs the development of new technologies.

The surface 21 is cross-arranged, wherein the two directions may be vertical or sandwiched by a predetermined angle, and the invention is not limited thereto. The sub-linear protrusions 24 have a smaller apex angle so that the light can be dispersed to a farther position, and the main line-like protrusions 23 can disperse the light to a closer position. By using the combination of the main linear protrusions 23 and the sub-linear protrusions 24, the ability to disperse light can be increased, thereby solving the problem that when W 1 /D 1 exceeds 1.25, it is impossible to achieve using only a single diffusion plate 20 The problem of uniform dispersion of light, particularly when 1.25 < W 1 / D 1 < 1.5, requires only one diffusion plate 20 to be used, and the effect of the conventional two diffusion sheets 12, 13 can be achieved. By arranging the main linear convex portions 23 and the sub-linear convex portions 24 having different apex angles and heights, the sub-linear convex portions 24 having weak structural strength can obtain main linear convex portions having strong structural strength. The protection of 23 increases the durability of the diffuser panel 20.

Therefore, a plurality of pyramid-shaped recesses 25 arranged in a matrix and having different shapes are formed on the light-emitting surface 21.

In this way, the vertical distances H 1 and H of the bottom portion 51a and the bottom portion 51b on both sides of the main linear convex portion 23, the laterally corresponding pyramid-shaped concave portion 25a and the pyramid-shaped concave portion 25b, and the top portion 52b of the main linear convex portion 23 are located. 1 'different. In the embodiment of the present invention, the top portion 52 of the main linear convex portion 23 is located between the pyramidal concave portion 25a corresponding to the lateral direction of the main linear convex portion 23 and the bottom portion 51a and 51b of the pyramidal concave portion 25b. The difference does not exceed one-fifth of the height of the main linear convex portion 23 (the vertical distance from the top 52 of the main linear convex portion 23 to the reference line 54; H 1 ), that is, | H 1 -H 1 '|<H 1 / 5. Further, the top portion 53b of the sub-linear convex portion 24b is located between the bottom portion 51c of the pyramid-shaped concave portion 25c and the bottom portion 51d of the pyramid-shaped concave portion 25d which are located on both sides of the sub-linear convex portion 24b, and the bottom portion 51d of the pyramid-shaped concave portion 25d.

When H 1 '>H 1 and H 2 '>H 2 , the top portion 53a of the secondary linear protrusion 24b can be made more than the bottom portions 51b and 51c of the pyramidal recesses 25b and 25c on both sides. protruding. However, in other embodiments, | H 1 -H 1 '| or | H 2 -H 2 '| may be minimized to zero, to avoid individual main linear protrusions 23 or sub-linear protrusions 24 The difference between the two is too large to grasp the uniformity of the luminance. Similarly, the relationship between the vertical distance differences may be applied to the other side of the main linear protrusion 23 or the secondary linear protrusion 24, and the invention is not limited thereto.
參照圖6,圖6係顯示沿y方向之剖面圖。在此實施例中,由於y方向上排列配置之週期結構50與x方向相同,故相關之尺寸與要求之條件與圖5之週期結構50相同,因此不再贅述。Referring to Figure 6, Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view in the y-direction. In this embodiment, since the periodic structure 50 arranged in the y direction is the same as the x direction, the related dimensions and required conditions are the same as those of the periodic structure 50 of FIG. 5, and therefore will not be described again.
圖7顯示本發明一實施範例之擴散板20之入光面22示意圖。擴散板20之入光面22可設有一髮線紋71。該髮線紋71係將形成擴散板20之入光面22之模具表面,以砂輪機產生出於一方向上約略平行的複數條線條紋路,而擴散板20於製作完成後,其入光面22上即將該線條紋路轉印以形成沿一水平方向(x方向)排列,且沿另一水平方向(y方向)延伸配置的該髮線紋71。於一實施例中,沿垂直於y方向量測中心線平均粗糙度Ra,即沿x方向量測中心線平均粗糙度Ra,則所量得之中心線平均粗糙度Ra的範圍可介於0.002微米與2微米之間。另外,藉由該髮線紋的中心線平均粗糙度Ra的數值變化,可調整垂直於髮線紋延伸配置的方向(y方向)之光分散能力,即可調整x方向之光分散能力,中心線平均粗糙度Ra的數值越大,光分散距離越近;而於本案實施例中,該髮線紋71之粗糙度可介於0.5微米與0.6微米之間。FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing the light incident surface 22 of the diffuser panel 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The light incident surface 22 of the diffuser panel 20 may be provided with a hairline 71. The hairline 71 will form the surface of the mold of the diffusing surface 20 of the diffusing plate 20, and the grinder generates a plurality of stripe strips which are approximately parallel in one direction, and the diffusing plate 20 is formed on the light-incident surface 22 after the fabrication is completed. The line stripe is transferred to form the hairline 71 arranged in a horizontal direction (x direction) and extending in the other horizontal direction (y direction). In one embodiment, the center line average roughness Ra is measured perpendicular to the y direction, that is, the center line average roughness Ra is measured along the x direction, and the center line average roughness Ra is measured to be in the range of 0.002. Between microns and 2 microns. In addition, by adjusting the numerical value of the center line average roughness Ra of the hairline, the light dispersion ability perpendicular to the direction in which the hairline extension is arranged (y direction) can be adjusted, and the light dispersion ability in the x direction can be adjusted. The larger the value of the line average roughness Ra, the closer the light dispersion distance is; and in the embodiment of the present invention, the roughness of the hairline pattern 71 may be between 0.5 micrometers and 0.6 micrometers.
圖8A至圖8C顯示本發明一實施範例之擴散板之均勻化效果之示意圖。參照圖8A,複數個發光二極體矩陣排列成一發光二極體陣列80,相鄰發光二極體間之距離約略相 同,舉例言之,該距離可為30厘米。8A to 8C are views showing the effect of homogenizing a diffusion plate according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8A, a plurality of light emitting diode matrices are arranged in a light emitting diode array 80, and the distance between adjacent light emitting diodes is approximately Also, for example, the distance can be 30 cm.
參照圖8B,將一設有如圖5實施例所示之週期結構50之擴散板20放置於圖8A所示之發光二極體陣列80上,因為該週期結構50包含一條主線狀凸部23及二條次線狀凸部24a和24b,其中主線狀凸部23較次線狀凸部24a和24b為高,且主線狀凸部23較次線狀凸部24a和24b之頂角角度為大之緣故,所以讓各發光二極體之發光聚合至不同之位置上,使得在相鄰發光二極體間可形成四個光點,藉此達到使光均勻化之目的,光點的數量與主線狀凸部23以及次線狀凸部24a和24b的頂角角度相關,並不一定皆為四個。其中,各發光二極體所對應的光點,其直徑與相鄰發光二極體之間的四個光點大小相仿,但亮度較低。Referring to FIG. 8B, a diffusion plate 20 provided with a periodic structure 50 as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 5 is placed on the LED array 80 shown in FIG. 8A because the periodic structure 50 includes a main linear protrusion 23 and The two linear convex portions 24a and 24b, wherein the main linear convex portion 23 is higher than the secondary linear convex portions 24a and 24b, and the apex angle of the main linear convex portion 23 is larger than the secondary linear convex portions 24a and 24b. For this reason, the light emission of each light-emitting diode is polymerized to different positions, so that four light spots can be formed between adjacent light-emitting diodes, thereby achieving the purpose of homogenizing the light, the number of light spots and the main line. The apex angles of the convex portions 23 and the sub-linear convex portions 24a and 24b are not necessarily four. The light spot corresponding to each light-emitting diode has a diameter similar to that of four light spots between adjacent light-emitting diodes, but the brightness is low.
參照圖8C,將出光面上設有如圖5實施例所示之週期結構50及入光面上設有如圖7所示之髮線紋71之擴散板置於圖8A所示之發光二極體陣列80上後,除週期結構50所產生的上述結果外,髮線紋71可使發光二極體之發光及圖8B顯示之各光點之發光往髮線紋71垂直方向上擴散,最後形成如圖8C所示之網狀結構之光影像,其中網狀結構之光影像中,直向與橫向光影相交處即為發光二極體之所在。若再將光學膜片組施加於擴散板之上,該光學膜片組可將該網狀結構之光影像進一步均勻化,最後可達到最小可察覺差異(Just Noticeable Difference;JND)1.8之良好結果。亦即,當一裝置之可察覺差異大於2時,一般人之肉眼即可輕易地辨識出該裝置輝度的不均勻,而當一裝置之可察覺差 異小於2時,該裝置雖然實際上仍有不均勻的現象存在,但已達肉眼無法辨識的程度,故本發明揭示之週期結構50,再配合髮線紋71之配置可得到良好的光均勻化之效果。Referring to FIG. 8C, a diffusing plate having a periodic structure 50 as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 5 and a hairline 71 as shown in FIG. 7 on the light-incident surface is disposed on the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting diode shown in FIG. 8A. After the array 80, in addition to the above results produced by the periodic structure 50, the hairline 71 can cause the light emission of the light emitting diode and the light of each light spot shown in FIG. 8B to be diffused in the vertical direction of the hairline 71, and finally form. As shown in FIG. 8C, in the optical image of the mesh structure, in the optical image of the mesh structure, the intersection of the straight direction and the lateral light and shadow is the location of the light emitting diode. If the optical film set is applied to the diffusion plate, the optical film group can further homogenize the optical image of the mesh structure, and finally achieve a good result of the Just Noticeable Difference (JND) 1.8. . That is, when the perceptible difference of a device is greater than 2, the brightness of the device can be easily recognized by the naked eye of the average person, and when the device is perceived to be poor, When the difference is less than 2, although the device actually has a non-uniform phenomenon, it has reached an extent that the naked eye cannot recognize. Therefore, the periodic structure 50 disclosed in the present invention can be combined with the hairline 71 to obtain good light uniformity. The effect of the transformation.

Referring to Fig. 9, the main linear protrusions 23a and 23b and the sub-linear protrusions 24c included in the periodic structure 50a may have different shapes. In the embodiment of FIG. 9, in the main linear convex portion 23a, the two side faces 93 or other side faces of the side clamp main apex angle θ may be convex surfaces and sub-linear convex portions, in addition to the plane shown in the embodiment of FIG. The side of the 24c can also be convex. Furthermore, the periodic structure 50a may include two main linear convex portions 23a and 23b and a primary linear convex portion 24c, wherein the secondary linear convex portion 24c is interposed between the two main linear convex portions 23a and 23b. By arranging the structure of the periodic structure 50a, the result of the adjacent two main linear protrusions 23a, 23b can be obtained. Referring to Figures 10 and 11, the side faces or other sides of the main linear projections 23c and 23d and the secondary linear projections 24d and 24e may be respectively formed into a concave surface (as shown in Fig. 10) or a continuous concave-convex surface (Fig. 11).
