(発明が解決しようとする課題)
 ところで、上記の照明装置において、さらなる薄型化および軽量化を図るために、導光板の薄型化が進められている。しかし、導光板を薄型化すると、その端面が小さくなるので、光源の光をロスなく導光板に入射することが難しくなる。
 例えば、この方式の照明装置を、液晶テレビの表示装置等に用いる場合には、表示パネルに対して均一な光を出射することが求められるから、光源の光を効率よく導光板に入射することが重要である。特に、表示装置の大型化に対応するため、大型の導光板の全体から均一な光を出射させるには、導光板への光の入射効率の低下は好ましくなく、導光板の薄型化を図ることは困難であった。
(Problems to be solved by the invention)
By the way, in the above illuminating device, in order to further reduce the thickness and weight, the light guide plate is being made thinner. However, when the light guide plate is thinned, the end face thereof becomes small, so that it becomes difficult for light from the light source to enter the light guide plate without loss.
For example, when this type of illumination device is used for a display device of a liquid crystal television, it is required to emit uniform light to the display panel, so that the light from the light source is efficiently incident on the light guide plate. is important. In particular, in order to deal with an increase in the size of the display device, in order to emit uniform light from the entire large light guide plate, a decrease in light incident efficiency on the light guide plate is not preferable, and the light guide plate should be made thinner. Was difficult.
 本発明は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、導光板を薄型化しても、光源の光を効率よく導光板に入射することが可能な照明装置、表示装置およびテレビ受信装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and an illumination device, a display device, and a television receiver capable of efficiently making light from a light source incident on the light guide plate even if the light guide plate is thinned. An object is to provide an apparatus.

 上記のように構成された本実施形態によれば、以下の効果を奏する。
 本実施形態のバックライト装置20は、導光板22と、導光板22の光入射面22Aに沿って配置されたLED基板23と、を含むバックライト装置20であって、LED基板23と光入射面22Aとの間には、LED基板23からの光を反射する第1反射板34と、第1反射板34からの反射光を反射する第2反射板35とが設けられ、第1反射板34は、LED基板23から光入射面22Aの外側に向かう光を第2反射板35に向けて反射可能な位置に設けられ、第2反射板35は、その焦点が光入射面22Aに位置するように設定された凹面鏡である。
According to the present embodiment configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
The backlight device 20 of the present embodiment is a backlight device 20 including a light guide plate 22 and an LED substrate 23 arranged along the light incident surface 22A of the light guide plate 22, and the LED substrate 23 and the light incidence. Between the surface 22A, a first reflecting plate 34 that reflects light from the LED substrate 23 and a second reflecting plate 35 that reflects reflected light from the first reflecting plate 34 are provided, and the first reflecting plate is provided. 34 is provided at a position where the light traveling from the LED substrate 23 toward the outside of the light incident surface 22A can be reflected toward the second reflecting plate 35, and the second reflecting plate 35 has a focal point located on the light incident surface 22A. The concave mirror is set as follows.
 これにより、LED基板23から出射した光のうち、光入射面22Aの外側に向かう光は、第1反射板34および第2反射板35で反射して導光板22の光入射面22A(焦点)に向かうから、導光板22の厚さにかかわらず、つまり導光板22を薄型化しても、LED基板23の光を効率よく導光板22に入射することができる。したがって、本実施形態のように、導光板22を薄型化しても(従来の約半分)、LED25の光を効率よく導光板22に入射することができる。そして、導光板22の厚さ寸法を従来の半分にすることができるから、その重量が半減し、コスト低減を図ることができる。 As a result, of the light emitted from the LED substrate 23, the light traveling toward the outside of the light incident surface 22A is reflected by the first reflecting plate 34 and the second reflecting plate 35, and the light incident surface 22A (focal point) of the light guide plate 22 is reflected. Therefore, regardless of the thickness of the light guide plate 22, that is, even if the light guide plate 22 is thinned, the light of the LED substrate 23 can be efficiently incident on the light guide plate 22. Therefore, the light of the LED 25 can be efficiently incident on the light guide plate 22 even if the light guide plate 22 is thinned (about half of the conventional one) as in this embodiment. And since the thickness dimension of the light-guide plate 22 can be made into the half of the past, the weight can be halved and cost reduction can be aimed at.
 また、第1反射板34および前記第2反射板35は、2つの焦点を有する楕円鏡であり、第1反射板34の第1焦点F1は、LED基板23の発光面25Aに位置するように設定され、第2反射板35の第1焦点F2は、光入射面22Aに位置するように設定され、第1反射板34の第2焦点F3と第2反射板35の第2焦点F4とは、同位置となるように設定されている。 The first reflector 34 and the second reflector 35 are elliptical mirrors having two focal points, and the first focal point F1 of the first reflector 34 is positioned on the light emitting surface 25A of the LED substrate 23. The first focal point F2 of the second reflecting plate 35 is set to be positioned on the light incident surface 22A, and the second focal point F3 of the first reflecting plate 34 and the second focal point F4 of the second reflecting plate 35 are set. , Are set to be the same position.
 これにより、LED基板23から光入射面22Aの表側(光入射面22Aに直接入射しない方向)に向かう光は、図5に示すように、第1反射面36の第1焦点F1を出て第1反射面36で反射し、第1反射面36の第2焦点F3に向かう。この第1反射面36の第2焦点F3は、第2反射面37の第2焦点F4と同位置であるから、第1反射面36の反射光は、第2反射面37で反射して第2反射面37の第1焦点F2に向かう。このように、LED基板23から光入射面22Aに直接入射しない方向に向かった光が、第1反射板34および第2反射板35で反射されて光入射面22Aに集まるから、導光板22への光の入射効率を高めることができる。なお、LED基板23から裏側に向かう光は、図6に示すように、導光板22の光入射面22Aに直接入射する。図5および図6には、LED25の発光面25Aから出射して光入射面22Aに入射する光の経路を、1点鎖線にて概略的に図示した。 As a result, the light traveling from the LED substrate 23 toward the front side of the light incident surface 22A (the direction not directly incident on the light incident surface 22A) exits the first focal point F1 of the first reflecting surface 36 as shown in FIG. The light is reflected by the first reflecting surface 36 and travels toward the second focal point F3 of the first reflecting surface 36. Since the second focal point F3 of the first reflective surface 36 is at the same position as the second focal point F4 of the second reflective surface 37, the reflected light of the first reflective surface 36 is reflected by the second reflective surface 37 and is reflected by the second focal point F4. 2 toward the first focal point F2 of the reflecting surface 37. In this way, light directed from the LED substrate 23 in a direction not directly incident on the light incident surface 22A is reflected by the first reflecting plate 34 and the second reflecting plate 35 and gathers on the light incident surface 22A. The incident efficiency of light can be increased. The light traveling from the LED substrate 23 toward the back side is directly incident on the light incident surface 22A of the light guide plate 22 as shown in FIG. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the path of light emitted from the light emitting surface 25 </ b> A of the LED 25 and incident on the light incident surface 22 </ b> A is schematically illustrated by a one-dot chain line.
 また、LED基板23を包囲するリフレクタ30が設けられ、このリフレクタ30は、LED基板23の液晶パネル11側を覆う表面板32を有している。これにより、表示面11Aへの不要な光の漏洩を抑制することができる。 Further, a reflector 30 surrounding the LED substrate 23 is provided, and the reflector 30 has a surface plate 32 that covers the LED substrate 23 on the liquid crystal panel 11 side. Thereby, the unnecessary light leakage to the display surface 11A can be suppressed.
 また、リフレクタ30は金属製であるとともに、LED基板23の板面に沿う背面板33を有している。これにより、LED25から発せられた熱はプリント基板24を介してリフレクタ30に伝わり放散されるから、リフレクタ30の分だけ放散面積が増えるので、放熱性の向上を図ることができる。
 また、リフレクタ30は、アルミニウム製またはアルミニウム合金製とされている。したがって、リフレクタ30の熱伝導性が良いから、放熱性を向上させることができる。
 また、導光板22の裏面側には、反射シート27が備えられているから、導光板22内に入射した光を効率よく出射させることができる。
The reflector 30 is made of metal and has a back plate 33 along the plate surface of the LED substrate 23. Thereby, since the heat generated from the LED 25 is transmitted to the reflector 30 via the printed circuit board 24 and is dissipated, the dissipating area is increased by the amount of the reflector 30, so that the heat dissipation can be improved.
The reflector 30 is made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. Therefore, since the thermal conductivity of the reflector 30 is good, the heat dissipation can be improved.
Further, since the reflection sheet 27 is provided on the back surface side of the light guide plate 22, the light incident on the light guide plate 22 can be efficiently emitted.
