Abstract
Description
例えば、下記特許文献1には、LEDを使用したエッジライト型の照明装置が記載されている。この照明装置は、LEDと、このLEDからの光導入部が平坦面に形成された官製ハガキ程度の大きさの導光板と、LEDからの光を反射する反射鏡とを備え、導光板の平坦面にLEDを装着するとともに、このLEDを反射鏡で覆った構成となっている。また、下記特許文献2には、LEDからの光をプリズムアレイからなる光源ロッドを介して導光板に導入するようにした照明装置が記載されている。さらに、下記特許文献3には、導光体の入光面に複数のLEDを等間隔に配置し、このLEDからの光を反射体で乱反射させ、その散乱光により導光体の出光面を面発光させて、導光体の出光面に対向配置された表示体を照光するレジ案内灯が記載されている。
指向性の強い点光源と、この点光源からの光を線状光に変換する線状光変換手段と、この線状光を拡散する線状光拡散手段と、この拡散光が照射されて面状照明光を出光させる面状照明手段とを用いて、前記点光源からの光を前記線状光変換手段で線状光に変換し、この変換した線状光を前記線状光拡散手段で所定方向へ拡散して、この拡散光を面状照明手段に照射して面状光にして照明する点光源を用いた面照明方法。
このLED1は、図1に示すように、LED1の発光点または発光面から360度の方向に放射し離れた箇所で収束する略球状の配光特性を有している。すなわち、図1のI―1に示すように、LED1の発光中心点(面)の0と、この発光点(面)0を中心にして水平方向に離れた所定距離並びにこの中心点を通る零度(0°)の垂直線およびこの垂直線との間でなす角度0°~90°の範囲において、符号Aのような配光曲線を有している。この配光曲線Aは、発光点(面)0を中心にして、放射方向、すなわち360度に広がったボール状の曲線を描くものとなっているが、指向角零度(0°)の光軸Axを通る光が最も強いものとなっている
線状光変換装置2のケーシング3は、直方体形状だけではなく、図4に示される形状のものであってもよい。つまり、線状光変換装置2Aは、ケーシング3Aの側板3Abが多角柱状となっているもの、線状光変換装置2Bは、ケーシング3Bの側板3Bbが円柱状となっているものである。また、ケーシングの形状はここに示された形状だけでなく、角柱状若しくは円柱状であればよい。
線状光変換装置2Cは、対向する側板3bの上端縁から所定の角度α傾け、頂部に所定の隙間をあけて対向する一対の光集束反射板a、bが立設されている。この隙間は、例えば0.1~2mmである。光集束反射板は、光学反射板と同じ材料で形成するのが好ましい。
この線状光変換装置2Cによれば、光学反射板4から出射された線状光が5~10mm程度の比較的太い線状光である場合でも、0.1~2mm程度の細い線状光とすることができる。
線状光源変換装置2Dは、ケーシング底部7c上に、所定の内径を有し内壁面が反射面で形成された長尺の筒状体からなるケーシング7a,7bが立設されている。すなわち、このケーシングにおいては側面部および光学反射部が一体となっている。底部7cの略中央部には点光源1が固定されており、点光源1の略真上天井点を通る長手方向には線状光を出光させるスリット8が形成されている。このスリットの中央部8aはその幅が狭く、スリットの外方8bでは中央部8aから離れるに従ってスリットの幅が広くなっている。
複数個の貫通孔は、矩形状の開口をもった孔からなり、線状光拡散部材11の一方の短辺11cから他方の短辺11dに向かって略等間隔で垂直に引いた仮想垂直線X1、X2、X3・・~Xm-2、Xm-1、Xmと一方の長辺11aから他方の長辺11bに向かって略等間隔で水平に引いた仮想水平線Y1、Y2、Y3・・~Yk-2、Yk-1、Ykとが交差する箇所に形成されている。例えば、仮想垂直線X1と各仮想水平線の奇数線例えばY1、Y3・・とが交差する箇所に貫通孔1211、1212、・・~121n-1、121nおよび次の仮想垂直線X2と各仮想水平線の偶数線例えばY2、Y4・・Yk-1とが交差する箇所に貫通孔1221、1222・・~122n-1、122n-1、以下、同様にして、貫通孔12m1~12mnが配列されている。この配列により、これらの貫通孔は、所定の規則性を有し、所定の線状光拡散パターンを形成する。また、これらの貫通孔は、矩形状の開口をもった孔で形成されているが、形状はこれに限定されず、任意の形状、例えば円形、楕円形などに形成してもよい。
cosθp=d/r
cos(90°―θp)=x/r
r=√(x2+d2)
となる。
点Pθでの照度Eθは、
Eθ=cosθp・cos(90°―θp)・K/r2
となるので、上記式より、
Eθ=K・d・x/r4
と表せる。ここで、Kは比例定数である。
Eθをxの函数としてxで微分すると、
dEθ/dx=K・d/r4+K・d・x・(-4x)/r6
=K・d(d2-3x2)/r6
この式に基づいて描いた曲線を図10に示す。図10と、上記式からわかるように、照度Eθが最大となるのはθp=30°、すなわち線状光の中心光軸と該中心光軸との角度が60°のときである。
つまり、線状光拡散部材11に設ける貫通孔の大きさは、光学反射板4から所定位置Pθを見込む角度が30°になる位置で最小となるよう設定すればよい。その他の角度についても、上記式に基づいて線状光変換装置2に設ける貫通孔の大きさを設定することによって、拡散板14B上で均一な面照明を得ることができる。なお、拡散板14Aでも同じである。
