Abstract
Description
また、さらに他の目的は、LEDなどの固体発光素子を用いた発光装置にて、輝度ムラを低減し輝度の均一化を図ることにある。
ここで、配線基板に電気的に接続し、複数の固体発光素子に給電するコネクタをさらに備え、コネクタは、第2の反射部の表示パネル側とは反対側にもぐりこむように設けられることを特徴とすれば、例えばコネクタを配置するための空間を別途設ける必要がなく、発光装置等を小型化できる点で好ましい。
また、第1の反射部は、固体発光素子からの光を正反射する第1の正反射部と、固体発光素子から遠ざかるに従って面積が増加するように形成され、固体発光素子からの光を拡散反射する第1の拡散反射部とを備え、第2の反射部は、固体発光素子からの光を正反射する第2の正反射部と、固体発光素子から遠ざかるに従って面積が減少するように形成され、固体発光素子からの光を拡散反射する第2の拡散反射部とを備えることを特徴とすることができる。
<実施の形態1>
図1は、本実施の形態が適用される液晶表示装置の全体構成を示す図である。なお、図1は、後述する反射体50が取り付けられていない状態を示している。また、図1には、液晶表示装置の縦方向Vと横方向Hとを矢印で表示している。
本実施の形態が適用される液晶表示装置は、液晶表示モジュール20と、この液晶表示モジュール20の背面側(図1では下部側)に設けられるバックライト装置(バックライト)10とを備えている。
なお、バックライト装置10の構成単位は任意に選択される。例えば、発光ユニット30を含むバックライトフレーム11の単位にて「バックライト装置(バックライト)」と呼び、拡散板12、プリズムシート13、14、輝度向上フィルム15などを含まない流通形態もあり得る。
バックライトフレーム11は、例えばアルミニウムやマグネシウム、鉄、またはそれらを含む金属合金などで生成される筐体構造を形成している。この筐体構造としては、液晶表示モジュール20(図1参照)の大きさに対応して設けられる背面部と、この背面部の四隅を囲う側面部を備えている。そして、その筐体構造の内側の側面部には、例えば白色高反射の性能を有するポリエステルフィルム等などが貼られ、リフレクタとしての機能を備える。また、この背面部や側面部には、排熱のための冷却フィン等からなるヒートシンク構造が必要によって形成される場合がある。
また、本実施の形態においては、発光ユニット30ごとに発光制御がなされるようになっており、例えば液晶表示装置において画像を表示する際に、表示画像の中で黒色となる場所の背面側に位置する発光ユニット30を消灯させる等の所謂エリア・コントロールを行うことを可能としている。
図3(a)および(d)に示すように、光源モジュール31は、3個のLED34を備えた発光部310と、複数の発光部310が取り付けられる配線基板36と、遮蔽部材45とを備えている。この配線基板36は、複数の発光部310の各々に設けられるLED34に給電を行う電気経路、および給電に伴ってLED34から発生した熱を逃がす放熱経路を有している。
板状基板32は、この例では矩形状を有し、その母材にはガラス繊維にエポキシ樹脂等を含浸させた所謂ガラスエポキシ基板を用いることができる。そして、板状基板32のLED34が実装される側の第1面(以下、実装面32aという)には、各色LED34に対応して受電パッドとダイパッド(不図示)とがそれぞれ設けられている。また、配線基板36に実装する際、この第1面と直交し隣接する第2面(以下、接触面32bという)を配線基板36側としている。そして、各色LED34は、ダイパッドの上に例えば銀ペースト等のダイボンディング剤によって各々熱的に取り付けられ、さらに、受電パッドとボンディングワイヤ等により電気的に接続される。
以上のように、配線基板36に対して板状基板32を立てて取り付けることにより、発光部310の光軸(図3(d)に示す矢印)は、配線基板36面に対して平行な方向となる。
遮蔽部材45は、矩形状の板部材であり(後述する図4参照)、光の透過率が約10%以下の材料を用いている。また、その表面には正反射面あるいは拡散反射面が形成されている。そして、遮蔽部材45は、図3(d)に示すように、板状基板32の非実装面32c(図3(c)参照)側に設けられた支持部材46に支えられて、板状基板32の液晶表示モジュール20側に取り付けられる。つまり、遮蔽部材45は、列状に並べられた複数の発光部310に対して庇のように取り付けられている。庇の幅W(遮蔽部材45の突出部分の幅W(図3(d)参照))は、少なくとも実装面32aからの封止樹脂35の高さまで形成されることが好ましい。
遮蔽部材45は、この突出部分の幅Wによって、各発光部310から発せられた光のうち、液晶表示モジュール20側に向かう光の一部を遮蔽する。このような遮蔽部材45を設けることによって、例えばバックライト装置10の発光面において、光源モジュール31の近傍の輝度がホットスポット的に高くなること抑制している。
図4は、反射体50を説明するための図である。図5は、水平反射部51および傾斜反射部を説明するための図である。ここで、図5(a)は図4に示す発光ユニット30のB-B断面図であり、図5(b)は反射体50を図5(a)の上方向から眺めた図である。
反射体50は、図4に示すように、上述した光源モジュール31の光照射側に設けられる。反射体50は、例えばプラスティック等の樹脂を母材として、その表面に銀蒸着フィルム等による正反射(鏡面反射)加工が施された部材であり、例えば、(株)麗光製のルイルミラーを用いることができる。
そして、吸収部材56が水平反射部51の光源モジュール31側に設けられることにより、光の強度が高い光源モジュール31近傍における光の反射が抑制され、この領域における光の反射量が極端に大きくなることに起因する輝度ムラの発生が抑えられる。
以上のように、水平反射部51と傾斜反射部52とは、光源モジュール31による発光方向に対して、光源モジュール31、水平反射部51、傾斜反射部52の順で配置される。
また、本実施の形態が適用される反射体50は、図5(a)に示すように、水平反射部51によって形成される面に対する傾斜反射部52によって形成される面の角度θが約15度になるように設定されている。この角度θは、10度以上20度以下であることが好ましい。
これら第1の拡散反射部51aおよび第2の拡散反射部52aは、光源モジュール31(発光部310)から発光される光を拡散反射(乱反射)させる機能を有しており、それぞれ複数のドット55によって構成される。このドット55は、例えば反射体50の表面に略円形状の白色インクを印刷することで形成される。
また、第1の拡散反射部51aを構成するドット55の大きさ(面積)を一定にした場合、水平反射部51に形成されるドット55の数を、発光部310から遠ざかるに従って、段階的に少なくなるように設定すれば良い。同様に、第2の拡散反射部52aを構成するドット55の大きさを一定にした場合には、傾斜反射部52に形成されるドット55の数を、発光部310から遠ざかるに従って、段階的に多くするように設定すれば良い。
以上のように構成される発光ユニット30は、バックライトフレーム11に複数取り付けられる(図2参照)。このとき、図6に示すように、各発光ユニット30において、一つの発光ユニット30に設けられた光源モジュール31が、隣接して設けられる他の発光ユニット30に設けられた傾斜反射部52の下側(液晶パネル21側とは反対側)にもぐりこむように設けられ、傾斜反射部52が光源モジュール31の上側(液晶パネル21側)を覆うように並べて取り付けられている。
なお、図6に示すように、バックライトフレーム11に発光ユニット30を取り付ける際に、傾斜反射部52を固定するために支柱53を用いて支持しても良い。
なお、上述した実施の形態とは異なり、一つの発光ユニット30において、配線基板36を傾斜反射部52側に延伸させ、この傾斜反射部52の下側にコネクタ39をもぐりこませるように配置しても良い。
電源によって、各光源モジュール31に電圧がかけられると、各発光部310に設けられた赤色LED34R、緑色LED34Gおよび青色LED34B(図3(b)参照)に電流が流れる。そして、各発光部310における各色LED34から反射体50側に向けてR(赤色)、G(緑色)、B(青色)の色の光が照射される。そして、各発光部310によって照射されたRGBの光は、バックライトフレーム11内を進行するうちに混色されて白色光となる。そして、この白色光は、反射体50によって反射され、この例では拡散板12に向けて進行する(図6参照)。そして、この白色光は、拡散板12によって混色がさらに促進された後、プリズムシート13、14および輝度向上フィルム15を透過した後、液晶表示モジュール20に向けて照射される。
一方、第2の拡散反射部52aにおいて光源から遠い側の正反射面の面積を大きくすることで(図5(b)参照)、光源からの光の強度を低下させないまま光源からの光を反射することができ、さらに、例えば拡散板12に対して、反射体50の直下のみならず、広範囲に光源からの光を反射させることが可能となる。
