Description
長手方向に対して並列にそれぞれ隙間を有して設けられた複数の導光体、
上記複数の導光体に光を入射させる光源、および、
導光体における光出射側とは反対側に配設されている基体と、隣り合う導光体と導光体との間の上記隙間に沿って当該基体から突出している突出部とを有する支持部材を備えており、
上記突出部の突出端よりも、上記導光体の上記光出射側の面の少なくとも一部の領域のほうが光出射方向に突出していることを特徴としている。
本発明の一実施の形態を説明すれば、以下の通りである。なお、本実施の形態では、本願発明の面光源装置を、電子機器としての液晶表示装置の光源モジュールとして適用した例について説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
図5に示す本実施の形態の光源モジュール10には、長手方向に対して並列にそれぞれ隙間22を有して設けられた複数の導光体21と、導光体21の内部にて導光される光を取り出すために導光体21における光の出射側、又はその反対側である反射シート11側に複数設けられている光路変換部としての光散乱体23とが示されている。
図1は、本実施の形態の光源モジュール10における主要部のみを概略的に示した断面図であり、図4に示すX-X’線断面図である。
支持部材31の基体31cは、図4に示すように略長方形状を有しており、その導光体支持面(表面)の両端部と中央部とにそれぞれ突出部31aが設けられている。
突出部31aは、図1に示すように、隣り合う薄肉部21bと薄肉部21bとの間の隙間22に沿って設けられている。
上記支持部材31の材料に関しては、上記支持部材31は高反射部材(例えば高反射ポリカーボネイト)であることが好ましい。
以上のように、本実施の形態における光源モジュール10においては、長手方向に対して並列にそれぞれ隙間を有して設けられた複数の導光体21、複数の導光体21に光を入射させる光源、および、導光体21における光出射側とは反対側に配設されている基体31cと、隣り合う導光体21と導光体21との間の上記隙間22に沿って当該基体31cから突出している突出部31aとを有する支持部材31を備えており、突出部31aの突出端31a’よりも、導光体21の厚肉部21cの光出射面21dのほうが拡散板15に向けて突出している。これにより、導光板20を複数の導光体21に分割して複数の導光体21を長手方向に対して並列に配列している構成において、支持部材31を具備することによって、導光体21と導光体21との間に設ける隙間22を所定の長さで維持することができる。
以下に説明する本実施の形態では、上述した実施の形態1の支持部材31の形状が異なる以外は、実施の形態1と同じ構成である。したがって、説明の便宜上、実施の形態1で用いたものと同じ機能を有する部材には同じ参照符号を付して、その説明を省略する。
図1に示した実施の形態1に具備される基体31cには突出部31a形成面側とは反対側の面に構造物が一切無いのに対して、図6(a)~図6(d)に示す本実施の形態に具備される支持部材31は、上記基体31cの導光体支持面とは反対側の面(裏面)の両端部と中央部とにそれぞれ掛止部材31bが設けられている点で異なる。
図7(a)は、本実施の形態に具備される支持部材31の部分斜視図であり、突出部31a配設側をみた図である。突出部31aが導光体21の長手方向に沿って所定の長さを有して構成されていることは上記実施の形態1において述べたが、更に、本実施の形態に具備される突出部31aは、上記所定の長さに関して、図7(a)に示すように、基体31cに近い側から突出端31a’に向けて、上記長さが徐々に短くなっている。図7(b)は、図7(a)のQ-Q’線断面図であるが、この断面図でみれば明らかなように、本実施の形態に具備される突出部31aは、突出端31a’における上記長さが、基体31cに隣接した部分の上記長さよりも短く構成されている。図7(b)の断面図では、突出部31aは台形になる。
上記基体31cの裏面に設けられた掛止部材31bは、それぞれシャーシ2(図2)に設けられた掛穴(図示せず)に掛止することにより、支持部材31の下方に配置されるシャーシ2に固定するようになっている。
本実施の形態の構成によれば、上記実施の形態1の作用効果に加えて、突出部31aが導光体21の長手方向に沿って所定の長さを有して構成されており、且つ、上記所定の長さに関して、図7(a)に示すように、基体31cに近い側から突出端31a’に向けて、上記長さが徐々に短くなっている。これにより、導光体内を伝播する光が、当該導光体の光出射面に向けて立ち上がる。そのため、輝度の向上に寄与することができる。
本実施の形態の変形例として図8に示す構成を上げる。図8に示す突出部31aは断面弓状にして、弓状の突起側にて導光体21の薄肉部21bを挟み込むようにすることが考えられる。
