照明装置および表示装置Illumination device and display device
 この発明は、照明装置および表示装置に関し、特に、光源および反射部材を備えた照明装置および表示装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an illuminating device and a display device, and more particularly to an illuminating device and a display device including a light source and a reflecting member.
 従来、光源および反射部材を備えた表示装置が知られている。 Conventionally, a display device including a light source and a reflecting member is known.

FIG. 14 is a plan view showing the structure of the light source and the reflecting member of FIG. FIG. 15 is an enlarged perspective view showing the structure of the corner portion of the reflecting member of FIG.
 従来の一例による表示装置501は、図13に示すように、表示パネル(被照明部材)502と、表示パネル502を照明するバックライト装置(照明装置)503とを備えている。 A display device 501 according to a conventional example includes a display panel (illuminated member) 502 and a backlight device (illumination device) 503 that illuminates the display panel 502, as shown in FIG.
 バックライト装置503は、複数の光源510と、光源510からの光を表示パネル502側に反射する反射部材520と、光源510および反射部材520の上側(表示パネル502側)に配置された拡散シートなどからなる光学部材530と、光源510および反射部材520を収納するバックライトシャーシ540とによって、構成されている。 The backlight device 503 includes a plurality of light sources 510, a reflection member 520 that reflects light from the light sources 510 toward the display panel 502, and a diffusion sheet disposed on the light source 510 and the reflection member 520 (on the display panel 502 side). And a backlight chassis 540 that houses the light source 510 and the reflection member 520.
 複数の光源510は、図14に示すように、D方向(表示パネル502の長手方向)およびE方向(表示パネル502の短手方向)に配列されている。反射部材520は、長方形状の底面521と、底面521に対して傾斜した4つの側面522とを含む。 The plurality of light sources 510 are arranged in the D direction (longitudinal direction of the display panel 502) and the E direction (short direction of the display panel 502) as shown in FIG. The reflection member 520 includes a rectangular bottom surface 521 and four side surfaces 522 inclined with respect to the bottom surface 521.
 この表示装置501では、図15に示すように、光源510からD方向またはE方向に出射した光P501およびP502は、側面522により、底面521に対して垂直な方向(F方向(D方向およびE方向に垂直な方向))に反射される。これにより、表示パネル502の周縁部の輝度が低下するのを抑制することが可能であり、表示パネル502の輝度が不均一になるのをある程度抑制することが可能である。 In this display device 501, as shown in FIG. 15, light P501 and P502 emitted from the light source 510 in the D direction or the E direction are perpendicular to the bottom surface 521 by the side surface 522 (F direction (D direction and E direction). Reflected in a direction perpendicular to the direction)). Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a decrease in luminance at the peripheral portion of the display panel 502, and it is possible to suppress the luminance of the display panel 502 from becoming uneven to some extent.
 なお、4つの側面が底面に対して傾斜した反射部材を備えた照明装置は、例えば、特許文献1に開示されている。 In addition, the illuminating device provided with the reflective member which four side surfaces inclined with respect to the bottom face is disclosed by patent document 1, for example.

For this reason, there is a problem that the luminance of the corner portion of the display panel 502 is lowered and the luminance of the display panel 502 becomes non-uniform.
 この発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、この発明の目的は、被照明部材の輝度が不均一になるのを抑制することが可能な照明装置および表示装置を提供することである。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an illuminating device and a display device capable of suppressing the luminance of a member to be illuminated from becoming uneven.

 上記第1の局面による照明装置において、好ましくは、傾斜面の中央部の幅は、傾斜面の底面に最も近い部分の幅、および、底面から最も離れた部分の幅よりも大きい。このように構成すれば、傾斜面の中央部に向かって進行する光を、底面に対して垂直な方向に、より多く反射させることができる。これにより、被照明部材のコーナー部の輝度が低下するのを、より抑制することができるので、被照明部材の輝度が不均一になるのを、より抑制することができる。 In the illumination device according to the first aspect, preferably, the width of the central portion of the inclined surface is larger than the width of the portion closest to the bottom surface of the inclined surface and the width of the portion farthest from the bottom surface. If comprised in this way, the light which progresses toward the center part of an inclined surface can be reflected more in the direction perpendicular | vertical with respect to a bottom face. Thereby, since it can suppress more that the brightness | luminance of the corner part of a to-be-illuminated member falls, it can suppress more that the brightness | luminance of an to-be-illuminated member becomes non-uniform | heterogenous.
 この場合、傾斜面は、菱形形状または楕円形状に形成されていてもよい。 In this case, the inclined surface may be formed in a rhombus shape or an oval shape.

 図1~図6を参照して、本発明の第1実施形態による液晶表示装置1の構造について説明する。
(First embodiment)
The structure of the liquid crystal display device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
 本発明の第1実施形態による液晶表示装置1は、例えば液晶テレビジョン受像機(図示せず)などを構成するものである。また、液晶表示装置1は、図1に示すように、液晶表示パネル2と、液晶表示パネル2の下側(背面側)に配置され、液晶表示パネル2を照明するバックライト装置3とによって構成されている。なお、液晶表示装置1は、本発明の「表示装置」の一例であり、液晶表示パネル2は、本発明の「被照明部材」および「表示パネル」の一例である。また、バックライト装置3は、本発明の「照明装置」の一例である。 The liquid crystal display device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention constitutes, for example, a liquid crystal television receiver (not shown). As shown in FIG. 1, the liquid crystal display device 1 includes a liquid crystal display panel 2 and a backlight device 3 that is disposed on the lower side (back side) of the liquid crystal display panel 2 and illuminates the liquid crystal display panel 2. Has been. The liquid crystal display device 1 is an example of the “display device” in the present invention, and the liquid crystal display panel 2 is an example of the “illuminated member” and the “display panel” in the present invention. The backlight device 3 is an example of the “illumination device” in the present invention.
 液晶表示パネル2は、図示しない液晶層を挟み込む2つのガラス基板からなる。また、液晶表示パネル2は、バックライト装置3に照明されることにより、表示パネルとして機能する。 The liquid crystal display panel 2 includes two glass substrates that sandwich a liquid crystal layer (not shown). The liquid crystal display panel 2 functions as a display panel when illuminated by the backlight device 3.
 バックライト装置3は、直下型のバックライト装置であり、複数のLED(Light Emitting Diode:発光ダイオード)10と、LED10からの光を上側(液晶表示パネル2側)に反射する反射部材20と、反射部材20および液晶表示パネル2の間に配置された光学部材30と、LED10および反射部材20を収納するバックライトシャーシ40とによって、構成されている。なお、LED10は、本発明の「光源」の一例である。 The backlight device 3 is a direct type backlight device, and includes a plurality of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) 10 and a reflection member 20 that reflects light from the LEDs 10 upward (to the liquid crystal display panel 2 side). The optical member 30 is disposed between the reflecting member 20 and the liquid crystal display panel 2 and the backlight chassis 40 that houses the LED 10 and the reflecting member 20. The LED 10 is an example of the “light source” in the present invention.
 複数のLED10は、図2に示すように、A方向(液晶表示パネル2の長手方向)およびB方向(液晶表示パネル2の短手方向)に配列されている。また、複数のLED10は、A方向およびB方向にそれぞれ所定の間隔を隔てて配置されている。このLED10の配置間隔は、バックライト装置3の厚みやLED10から出射される光の広がり角などによって決定されている。具体的には、隣接するLED10から出射される光同士がオーバーラップし、隣接するLED10同士の間で暗部が生じないように、複数のLED10は配置されている。なお、LED10の光出射側に、LED10から出射される光の広がり角を大きくするレンズ(図示せず)が設けられていてもよい。 The plurality of LEDs 10 are arranged in the A direction (longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal display panel 2) and the B direction (short direction of the liquid crystal display panel 2) as shown in FIG. The plurality of LEDs 10 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the A direction and the B direction, respectively. The arrangement interval of the LEDs 10 is determined by the thickness of the backlight device 3 and the spread angle of light emitted from the LEDs 10. Specifically, the plurality of LEDs 10 are arranged so that light emitted from the adjacent LEDs 10 overlaps and a dark portion does not occur between the adjacent LEDs 10. A lens (not shown) that increases the spread angle of the light emitted from the LED 10 may be provided on the light emitting side of the LED 10.
 また、複数のLED10のうちの、周縁部に配置されるLED10aには、当然のことながら、外側に隣接するLED10が存在しないので、液晶表示パネル2の周縁部の輝度が低下しやすい。このため、後述するように、反射部材20の4つの側面22は、底面21に対して傾斜されている。 Of course, the LED 10a arranged at the peripheral edge of the plurality of LEDs 10 does not have the LED 10 adjacent to the outside, so that the luminance of the peripheral edge of the liquid crystal display panel 2 is likely to be lowered. For this reason, as will be described later, the four side surfaces 22 of the reflecting member 20 are inclined with respect to the bottom surface 21.
 反射部材20は、LED10からの光、および、LED10から出射し複数の光学部材30(図1参照)で反射された光を、上側(液晶表示パネル2側)に反射する機能を有する。なお、反射部材20は、光を反射する機能を有していれば、材質は特に限定されず、例えば樹脂や金属などを用いて形成することが可能である。 The reflection member 20 has a function of reflecting light from the LED 10 and light emitted from the LED 10 and reflected by the plurality of optical members 30 (see FIG. 1) to the upper side (the liquid crystal display panel 2 side). The material of the reflecting member 20 is not particularly limited as long as it has a function of reflecting light. For example, the reflecting member 20 can be formed using resin, metal, or the like.
 ここで、第1実施形態では、反射部材20は、略四角形状(略長方形状)の底面21と、底面21の4辺に配置された4つの側面22と、反射部材20の4つのコーナー部に設けられた4つの傾斜面23とを含む。 Here, in the first embodiment, the reflecting member 20 includes a substantially rectangular (substantially rectangular) bottom surface 21, four side surfaces 22 arranged on four sides of the bottom surface 21, and four corner portions of the reflecting member 20. And four inclined surfaces 23 provided on.
 底面21には、LED10が位置する部分に、開口部21aが形成されている。なお、LED10は、反射部材20の下側(背面側)に配置された配線基板(図示せず)に搭載されているとともに、反射部材20の開口部21aを介して上側(液晶表示パネル2側)に突出している。 In the bottom surface 21, an opening 21a is formed at a portion where the LED 10 is located. The LED 10 is mounted on a wiring board (not shown) disposed on the lower side (rear side) of the reflecting member 20 and on the upper side (the liquid crystal display panel 2 side) through the opening 21 a of the reflecting member 20. ).
 4つの側面22は、底面21から離れる(上側に向かう)にしたがって外側に向かうように、形成されている。すなわち、4つの側面22は、図3に示すように、底面21を外側に延長した延長面S1とのなす角度(θ1)が90度よりも小さい角度になるように、傾斜している。そして、4つの側面22は、図4に示すように、LED10からA方向またはB方向に出射した光(側面22によりC方向に反射すべき光の主光線)P1およびP2を、底面21に対して垂直な方向(C方向(A方向およびB方向に垂直な方向))に反射させる機能を有する。 The four side surfaces 22 are formed so as to go outward as they move away from the bottom surface 21 (toward the upper side). That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the four side surfaces 22 are inclined so that an angle (θ1) formed with the extended surface S <b> 1 that extends the bottom surface 21 outward is smaller than 90 degrees. As shown in FIG. 4, the four side surfaces 22 emit light P1 and P2 emitted from the LED 10 in the A direction or the B direction (primary rays of light to be reflected in the C direction by the side surfaces 22) with respect to the bottom surface 21. And has a function of reflecting in a direction perpendicular to the direction C (direction perpendicular to the A direction and the B direction).
 また、第1実施形態では、傾斜面23は、三角形状(例えば二等辺三角形状)に形成されている。また、傾斜面23は、底面21および側面22と一体的に形成されている。すなわち、第1実施形態では、底面21の端部を折り曲げることにより、側面22および傾斜面23が形成されている。 In the first embodiment, the inclined surface 23 is formed in a triangular shape (for example, an isosceles triangular shape). The inclined surface 23 is formed integrally with the bottom surface 21 and the side surface 22. That is, in the first embodiment, the side surface 22 and the inclined surface 23 are formed by bending the end portion of the bottom surface 21.
 また、第1実施形態では、4つの傾斜面23は、底面21から離れる(上側に向かう)にしたがって外側に向かうように、形成されている。すなわち、4つの傾斜面23は、図5に示すように、底面21を外側に延長した延長面S1とのなす角度(θ2)が90度よりも小さい角度になるように、傾斜している。 In the first embodiment, the four inclined surfaces 23 are formed so as to go outward as they move away from the bottom surface 21 (toward the upper side). That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the four inclined surfaces 23 are inclined so that an angle (θ2) formed with the extended surface S <b> 1 that extends the bottom surface 21 outward is smaller than 90 degrees.
 また、第1実施形態では、傾斜面23は、図2および図4に示すように、傾斜面23の最も近くに配置されたLED10b(反射部材20のコーナー部に配置されたLED10)側を向くように形成されている。言い換えると、傾斜面23は、図2に示すように、平面的に見て、傾斜面23の垂線L1が傾斜面23の最も近くに配置されたLED10b上を通過するように、形成されている。すなわち、傾斜面23の最も近くに配置されたLED10bは、平面的に見て、傾斜面23の真正面の位置に配置されている。 Moreover, in 1st Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the inclined surface 23 faces LED10b (LED10 arrange | positioned at the corner part of the reflection member 20) arrange | positioned nearest to the inclined surface 23 side. It is formed as follows. In other words, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the inclined surface 23 is formed so that the perpendicular L1 of the inclined surface 23 passes over the LED 10b disposed closest to the inclined surface 23 as viewed in a plan view. . That is, the LED 10b disposed closest to the inclined surface 23 is disposed at a position directly in front of the inclined surface 23 when viewed in plan.
 このため、図4に示すように、LED10bから反射部材20のコーナー部(傾斜面23)に向かって出射した光P3は、傾斜面23により、底面21に対して垂直な方向(C方向)に反射される。なお、図4の点Q1は、LED10bから出射し傾斜面23によりC方向に反射される光が傾斜面23に到達する位置を示している。 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the light P3 emitted from the LED 10b toward the corner portion (inclined surface 23) of the reflecting member 20 is caused to be perpendicular to the bottom surface 21 (C direction) by the inclined surface 23. Reflected. Note that a point Q1 in FIG. 4 indicates a position where the light emitted from the LED 10b and reflected by the inclined surface 23 in the C direction reaches the inclined surface 23.
 また、第1実施形態では、図6に示すように、傾斜面23は、隣接する2つの側面22を延長した延長面S2の交線L2と、傾斜面23に最も近いLED10bとの間に配置されている。 Moreover, in 1st Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the inclined surface 23 is arrange | positioned between the intersection line L2 of the extended surface S2 which extended the adjacent two side surfaces 22, and LED10b nearest to the inclined surface 23. As shown in FIG. Has been.
 光学部材30(図1参照)は、光を拡散させる拡散シートや、光を前方向へ集光させるレンズシートなどの複数のシート部材によって構成されている。 The optical member 30 (see FIG. 1) is composed of a plurality of sheet members such as a diffusion sheet that diffuses light and a lens sheet that collects light in the forward direction.
 バックライトシャーシ40(図1参照)は、例えば金属板によって形成されている。また、バックライトシャーシ40は、コの字状の断面形状を有するように形成されている。 The backlight chassis 40 (see FIG. 1) is made of, for example, a metal plate. The backlight chassis 40 is formed to have a U-shaped cross-sectional shape.
 第1実施形態では、上記のように、反射部材20のコーナー部に、底面21および隣接する側面22に対して傾斜しているとともに、底面21を外側に延長した延長面S1とのなす角度が90度よりも小さくなるように傾斜した傾斜面23を設ける。これにより、LED10から反射部材20のコーナー部に向かって出射された光を、傾斜面23により、底面21に対して垂直な方向(C方向)に反射させることができる。その結果、液晶表示パネル2のコーナー部の輝度が低下するのを抑制することができるので、液晶表示パネル2の輝度が不均一になるのを抑制することができる。 In the first embodiment, as described above, the angle formed between the corner portion of the reflecting member 20 and the extended surface S1 that is inclined with respect to the bottom surface 21 and the adjacent side surface 22 and that extends the bottom surface 21 outward. An inclined surface 23 inclined to be smaller than 90 degrees is provided. Thereby, the light emitted from the LED 10 toward the corner portion of the reflecting member 20 can be reflected by the inclined surface 23 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface 21 (C direction). As a result, it is possible to suppress the brightness of the corner portion of the liquid crystal display panel 2 from being lowered, and thus it is possible to suppress the brightness of the liquid crystal display panel 2 from becoming uneven.
 また、第1実施形態では、上記のように、複数の側面22を、底面21を外側に延長した延長面S1とのなす角度が90度よりも小さくなるように傾斜させる。これにより、LED10からの光を、側面22により、底面21に対して垂直な方向(C方向)に反射させることができる。これにより、液晶表示パネル2の周縁部の輝度が低下するのを抑制することができるので、液晶表示パネル2の輝度が不均一になるのをより抑制することができる。 Further, in the first embodiment, as described above, the plurality of side surfaces 22 are inclined so that the angle formed by the extended surface S1 extending from the bottom surface 21 to the outside is smaller than 90 degrees. Thereby, the light from the LED 10 can be reflected by the side surface 22 in a direction (C direction) perpendicular to the bottom surface 21. Thereby, since it can suppress that the brightness | luminance of the peripheral part of the liquid crystal display panel 2 falls, it can suppress more that the brightness | luminance of the liquid crystal display panel 2 becomes non-uniform | heterogenous.
 また、第1実施形態では、上記のように、傾斜面23を、平面的に見て、傾斜面23の最も近くに配置されたLED10bの方向を向くように、形成する。これにより、LED10bから反射部材20のコーナー部に向かって出射された光を、傾斜面23により、容易に、底面21に対して垂直な方向(C方向)に反射させることができる。その結果、液晶表示パネル2のコーナー部の輝度が低下するのを、効果的に抑制することができる。 In the first embodiment, as described above, the inclined surface 23 is formed so as to face the direction of the LED 10b arranged closest to the inclined surface 23 when viewed in a plan view. Thereby, the light emitted toward the corner portion of the reflecting member 20 from the LED 10b can be easily reflected in the direction (C direction) perpendicular to the bottom surface 21 by the inclined surface 23. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the luminance of the corner portion of the liquid crystal display panel 2 from being lowered.
 また、第1実施形態では、上記のように、傾斜面23を、隣接する2つの側面22を延長した延長面S2の交線L2と、傾斜面23の最も近くに配置されたLED10bとの間に配置する。これにより、傾斜面23を、LED10に近づけて配置することができるので、傾斜面23で反射される光の量を多くすることができる。その結果、液晶表示パネル2のコーナー部の輝度が低下するのをより抑制することができる。 In the first embodiment, as described above, the inclined surface 23 is located between the intersection line L2 of the extended surface S2 obtained by extending the two adjacent side surfaces 22 and the LED 10b disposed closest to the inclined surface 23. To place. Thereby, since the inclined surface 23 can be arrange | positioned close to LED10, the quantity of the light reflected by the inclined surface 23 can be increased. As a result, it is possible to further suppress the luminance of the corner portion of the liquid crystal display panel 2 from being lowered.
 また、第1実施形態では、上記のように、傾斜面23を、三角形状に形成することによって、傾斜面23を、容易に、底面21および複数の側面22と一体的に形成することができる。 In the first embodiment, as described above, the inclined surface 23 can be formed integrally with the bottom surface 21 and the plurality of side surfaces 22 by forming the inclined surface 23 in a triangular shape. .
 また、傾斜面23を、底面21および複数の側面22と一体的に形成することによって、反射部材20の部品点数が増加するのを抑制することができる。 Further, by forming the inclined surface 23 integrally with the bottom surface 21 and the plurality of side surfaces 22, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of parts of the reflecting member 20.

That is, it is possible to increase the area of the portion (the central portion of the inclined surface 123) where the light having the highest luminous intensity reaches among the light emitted from the LED 10b. Thereby, more light traveling toward the inclined surface 123 can be reflected in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface 21 (C direction). As a result, it is possible to further suppress the luminance of the corner portion of the liquid crystal display panel 2 from being lowered, and thus it is possible to further suppress the luminance of the liquid crystal display panel 2 from becoming uneven.
 また、第2実施形態では、上記のように、傾斜面123を、底面21および複数の側面122とは別に設ける。これにより、傾斜面123を、菱形形状に容易に形成することができる。また、傾斜面123の面積を、容易に大きくすることができるので、液晶表示パネル2のコーナー部の輝度が低下するのを、容易に、より抑制することができる。 In the second embodiment, the inclined surface 123 is provided separately from the bottom surface 21 and the plurality of side surfaces 122 as described above. Thereby, the inclined surface 123 can be easily formed in a rhombus shape. Further, since the area of the inclined surface 123 can be easily increased, it is possible to more easily suppress the luminance of the corner portion of the liquid crystal display panel 2 from being lowered.
