Description
本発明は、室内照明として使用される照明装置に関し、更に詳しくは、光源と導光板からなり、前記光源からの光が導光板を通して発光面から出射する照明装置、及びこれを用いた電子機器に関する。
The present invention relates to a lighting device used as indoor lighting, and more particularly to a lighting device that includes a light source and a light guide plate, and that emits light from the light source through a light guide plate from a light emitting surface, and an electronic apparatus using the same. .
近年、導光板を利用した薄型の照明装置が種々提案されている。特許文献1には、棒状の導光板と、薄い面状の導光板を組み合わせて広い照射エリアを確保するLED(Light Emitting Diode)面光源装置が提案されている。図12は、特許文献1に示された面光源装置の概略図である。光源モジュール1201からの光を一旦、棒状の導光板1202の端面から入射させ、さらに、この棒状の導光板1202の側面から、これよりも厚みの薄く透明な樹脂で接着された面状の導光板1203に光を入射し、この面状の導光板1203から光を取り出す。このような構成にすることで、面状の導光板1203が薄く大きいサイズになっても光源モジュール1201そのものが必要な光量を確保するために大きくなることは無い。また、特許文献2には、2枚の導光板への導入光量が調整可能な両面発光面状光源が提案されている。図13は特許文献2に示された両面発光面状光源の概略図である。反射板1303を挟んで積層された2枚の導光板1301、1302に対して一つの光源1304で導光板1301、1302への導入光量を調整し、両面発光を行っている。
In recent years, various thin lighting devices using a light guide plate have been proposed. Patent Document 1 proposes an LED (Light Emitting Diode) surface light source device that secures a wide irradiation area by combining a bar-shaped light guide plate and a thin planar light guide plate. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the surface light source device disclosed in Patent Document 1. Light from the light source module 1201 is once incident on the end surface of the rod-shaped light guide plate 1202, and further, a planar light guide plate bonded from the side surface of the rod-shaped light guide plate 1202 with a transparent resin that is thinner than this. Light is incident on 1203 and light is extracted from the planar light guide plate 1203. By adopting such a configuration, even if the planar light guide plate 1203 is thin and large, the light source module 1201 itself does not become large in order to secure a necessary amount of light. Patent Document 2 proposes a double-sided light emitting planar light source that can adjust the amount of light introduced into two light guide plates. FIG. 13 is a schematic view of a double-sided light emitting surface light source disclosed in Patent Document 2. The light quantity introduced into the light guide plates 1301 and 1302 is adjusted by one light source 1304 with respect to the two light guide plates 1301 and 1302 stacked with the reflection plate 1303 interposed therebetween, and double-sided light emission is performed.
しかしながら、特許文献1に示された面光源装置では、光源モジュール1201からの光は、まず、棒状の導光板1202に入り、その後、面状の導光板1203に入射するため、光源モジュール1201からの熱により、導光板1202が変形しやすい。導光板1202と導光板1203が一体成型されている場合、これら導光板の熱膨張率は同じであるが、光源モジュール1201からの熱の伝わり方に違いがあるため、吸収する熱量に違いが生じ、2つの導光板の線膨張が異なり、ひずみが生じる。また、導光板1202と導光板1203を別々に成型し組み立てた場合も、光源モジュール1201から伝わる熱量に違いがあるため、これら導光板の膨張に差が生じ、ずれやひずみが生じる可能性がある。また、特許文献2に示された両面発光面状光源は、2枚の導光板1301、1302は端部で筐体1305に挟まれて固定されているため、環境温度が変化した際に、導光板1301、導光板1302と筐体1305の熱膨張率の違いにより部材が変形し、組み立ての際の部品とのひずみや位置ずれが光学性能の低下に繋がる可能性がある。
However, in the surface light source device disclosed in Patent Document 1, light from the light source module 1201 first enters the rod-shaped light guide plate 1202 and then enters the planar light guide plate 1203. The light guide plate 1202 is easily deformed by heat. In the case where the light guide plate 1202 and the light guide plate 1203 are integrally molded, the thermal expansion coefficients of these light guide plates are the same, but there is a difference in how heat is transmitted from the light source module 1201, so a difference occurs in the amount of heat absorbed. The linear expansion of the two light guide plates is different and distortion occurs. In addition, even when the light guide plate 1202 and the light guide plate 1203 are separately molded and assembled, there is a difference in the amount of heat transmitted from the light source module 1201, which may cause a difference in expansion of these light guide plates, resulting in deviation or distortion. . In the double-sided light emitting planar light source disclosed in Patent Document 2, the two light guide plates 1301 and 1302 are fixed by being sandwiched between the casings 1305 at the ends, so that they are guided when the environmental temperature changes. The members may be deformed due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the light plate 1301, the light guide plate 1302, and the housing 1305, and distortion or misalignment with components during assembly may lead to a decrease in optical performance.

(照明装置の構成)
本実施形態における照明装置100は、第1導光手段11と、第2導光手段12と、上記2つの導光手段の間に介在するベース3と、図3に示すように、ベース3に設置され、上記第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12に光を入射する光源4と、上記2つの導光手段とベース3の間に介在する反射手段5と、上記2つの導光手段と光源4の結合部付近に配置された結合部反射手段6と、上記2つの導光手段と光源4の結合部を覆うカバー7と、上記第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の全周を覆う外枠10から構成されている。 (Configuration of lighting device)
Theilluminating device 100 in this embodiment includes a first light guide means 11, a second light guide means 12, a base 3 interposed between the two light guide means, and a base 3 as shown in FIG. A light source 4 that is installed and makes light incident on the first light guide means 11 and the second light guide means 12, a reflection means 5 interposed between the two light guide means and the base 3, and the two light guides.

(導光手段の位置決め)
図4は、ベース3に対する第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の位置決め手段に関して説明した図である。ベース3に対する第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の位置決めは、ベース3に設けられた位置決めピン8と、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12に設けられたピン受け部9を係合することで行われている。ベース3には上記で説明したように、光源4が取り付けられているため、位置決めピン8とピン受け部9とを係合することで、光源4と第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12との位置合わせを正確かつ容易に行うことが可能となる。 (Positioning of light guide means)
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the positioning means of the first light guide means 11 and the second light guide means 12 with respect to thebase 3. The first light guide unit 11 and the second light guide unit 12 are positioned with respect to the base 3 by positioning pins 8 provided on the base 3 and pin receivers provided on the first light guide unit 11 and the second light guide unit 12. This is done by engaging the part 9. Since the light source 4 is attached to the base 3 as described above, the light source 4, the first light guide means 11, and the second light guide are engaged by engaging the positioning pin 8 and the pin receiving portion 9. Positioning with the means 12 can be performed accurately and easily.
図4は、ベース3に対する第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の位置決め手段に関して説明した図である。ベース3に対する第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の位置決めは、ベース3に設けられた位置決めピン8と、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12に設けられたピン受け部9を係合することで行われている。ベース3には上記で説明したように、光源4が取り付けられているため、位置決めピン8とピン受け部9とを係合することで、光源4と第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12との位置合わせを正確かつ容易に行うことが可能となる。 (Positioning of light guide means)
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the positioning means of the first light guide means 11 and the second light guide means 12 with respect to the
ここでは、第1導光手段11を例に説明するが、第2導光手段12についても同様である。位置決めピン8は、図4右下図の円で囲まれた位置に、ベース3の上下両面に突出して設けられており、また、第1導光手段11に設けられたピン受け部9の形状は、導光手段の径方向に倣ったU字形状となっている。位置決めピン8とピン受け部9とを係合させた状態において、位置決めピン8とピン受け部9の間は空隙Wを有している。これは、照明装置使用時に、光源4からの熱や、環境温度の変化による部材の膨張や収縮に対応し、部材の歪みや撓みの発生を防止するためである。特に本実施形態のように両面発光する照明装置では、光源4の数やパワーが大きいことが多く、照明装置に熱の影響が出る可能性が高い。ピン受け部9の形状を位置決めピン8の外周よりもやや大きめにして、空隙Wを持たせることにより、温度変化に伴いう部材の膨張、収縮による照明装置への影響を抑えることができる。
Here, the first light guide unit 11 will be described as an example, but the same applies to the second light guide unit 12. The positioning pins 8 are provided so as to protrude from both the upper and lower surfaces of the base 3 at positions surrounded by a circle in the lower right diagram of FIG. 4, and the shape of the pin receiving portion 9 provided in the first light guide means 11 is The U-shape follows the radial direction of the light guide means. In a state where the positioning pin 8 and the pin receiving portion 9 are engaged, there is a gap W between the positioning pin 8 and the pin receiving portion 9. This is to prevent the member from being distorted or bent in response to heat from the light source 4 or expansion or contraction of the member due to a change in environmental temperature when the lighting device is used. In particular, in a lighting device that emits light on both sides as in this embodiment, the number and power of the light sources 4 are often large, and there is a high possibility that the lighting device will be affected by heat. By making the shape of the pin receiving portion 9 slightly larger than the outer periphery of the positioning pin 8 and providing the gap W, it is possible to suppress the influence on the lighting device due to the expansion and contraction of the member accompanying the temperature change.
なお、位置決めピン8とピン受け部9の大きさ、形状、位置、個数については、照明装置100の仕様により適宜設定されればよいが、特に個数については、図4の右下図に示したように片面について等間隔に4個設けられることが望ましい。このように設けることで、上面から見て左右、上下いずれにも導光手段とベースがずれることが少ない。さらに、今実施形態では、ベース3に位置決めピン8、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12にピン受け部9を設けたが、ベース3にピン受け部9、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12に位置決めピン8を設けても構わない。
Note that the size, shape, position, and number of the positioning pins 8 and the pin receiving portions 9 may be set as appropriate according to the specifications of the lighting device 100. In particular, the numbers are as shown in the lower right diagram of FIG. It is desirable that four are provided at equal intervals on one side. By providing in this way, the light guiding means and the base are less likely to be displaced in the left, right, and upper and lower directions when viewed from above. Further, in the present embodiment, the positioning pin 8, the first light guide means 11, and the second light guide means 12 are provided on the base 3, but the pin receiver 9 and the first light guide means are provided on the base 3. 11. Positioning pins 8 may be provided on the second light guide means 12.

The first light guide means 11 is mainly made of acrylic resin, and has an incident surface 111 and an output surface 112, and the incident surface 111 and the output surface 112 are in a substantially vertical positional relationship. Similarly, the second light guiding means 12 is also mainly made of acrylic resin, and has an incident surface 121 and an output surface 122, and the positional relationship between the incident surface 121 and the output surface 122 is substantially vertical.
光源4は、第1導光手段11に対して光を入射する第1光源41と、第2導光手段2に対して光を入射する第2光源42から構成されている。第1光源41と第2光源42はそれぞれ入射面111と入射面121に対向して配置されている。本実施形態において、第1光源41と第2光源42はそれぞれ複数のLEDから構成されている。第1光源41は第1光源制御手段410によって制御され、第2光源42は第2光源制御手段420によって制御される。このように、光源4を、第1導光手段11用の第1光源41と、第2導光手段12用の第2光源42とで構成することにより、第1光源41、第2光源42の光出力を個別で調整することが可能となり、その結果、出射面112、出射面122からの取り出し光の光量調整が可能となっている。
The light source 4 includes a first light source 41 that makes light incident on the first light guide unit 11 and a second light source 42 that makes light incident on the second light guide unit 2. The 1st light source 41 and the 2nd light source 42 are arrange | positioned facing the entrance plane 111 and the entrance plane 121, respectively. In the present embodiment, each of the first light source 41 and the second light source 42 includes a plurality of LEDs. The first light source 41 is controlled by the first light source control unit 410, and the second light source 42 is controlled by the second light source control unit 420. As described above, the light source 4 is configured by the first light source 41 for the first light guide unit 11 and the second light source 42 for the second light guide unit 12, thereby the first light source 41 and the second light source 42. It is possible to individually adjust the light output, and as a result, it is possible to adjust the amount of light extracted from the exit surface 112 and the exit surface 122.
第1導光手段11および第2導光手段12のそれぞれの出射面112、出射面122に対向する対向面113、対向面123には、図示しない拡散印刷、プリズム、マイクロレンズ等の拡散パターンが施されている。これら拡散パターンは、入射面111、入射面121から入射される第1光源41、第2光源42からの出射光を出射面112、出射面122側に取り出す働きをするものである。
Each of the first light guide unit 11 and the second light guide unit 12 has a light emission surface 112, a counter surface 113 facing the light output surface 122, and a counter surface 123 having diffusion patterns such as diffusion printing, prisms, and microlenses (not shown). It has been subjected. These diffusion patterns serve to extract the outgoing light from the first light source 41 and the second light source 42 incident from the incident surface 111 and the incident surface 121 to the exit surface 112 and the exit surface 122 side.
反射手段5は、第1導光手段11とベース3の間、および第2導光手段12とベース3の間に挟まれる形で配置されている。反射手段5は、それぞれの導光手段の出射面に対向する対向面113、対向面123より出た光を反射し、出射面112、出射面122から再度取り出すことによって、光をより有効利用するために用いられる。

The reflection means 5 reflects light emitted from the facing surface 113 and the facing surface 123 facing the exit surface of each light guide means, and takes out the light from the exit surface 112 and the exit surface 122 again, thereby making more effective use of the light. Used for.
(結合部について)
光源4と第1導光手段11および第2導光手段12の結合部近辺には、結合部反射部材6が設けられている。光源4から出射する光は拡がりをもっているため、放射角の大きい一部の光は第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12のそれぞれの入射面に入射されない。よって、入射面から外れてしまう光を反射により再度入射面に導き、光源4からの光の利用効率を向上できるように、結合部反射部材6が配置されている。 (About the joint)
A couplingportion reflecting member 6 is provided in the vicinity of the coupling portion between the light source 4, the first light guide unit 11, and the second light guide unit 12. Since the light emitted from the light source 4 has a spread, some light having a large radiation angle is not incident on the respective incident surfaces of the first light guide unit 11 and the second light guide unit 12. Therefore, the coupling portion reflecting member 6 is arranged so that light that is off the incident surface can be guided to the incident surface again by reflection and the light use efficiency from the light source 4 can be improved.

(第1光源、第2光源の構成と色調整について)
図6は、第1光源41、第2光源42の構成を詳細に示した図である。第1光源41、第2光源42には、それぞれ白色LED43と、電球色LED44が複数混在して配置されている。このような構成とすることで、出射面112、出射面122からの取り出し光の色調制御が可能となっている。例えば、出射面112、出射面122から白色の光を取り出したい場合は、白色LED43のみを点灯させればよく、電球色の光を取り出したい場合は、電球色LED44のみを点灯させればよい。また、白色LED43と電球色LED44同時に点灯し、各色の光量の割合を調整することにより、出射面112、出射面122からの取り出し光の色調を変化させることが可能となる。 (Regarding the configuration and color adjustment of the first light source and the second light source)
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the configuration of thefirst light source 41 and the second light source 42 in detail. In the first light source 41 and the second light source 42, a plurality of white LEDs 43 and a plurality of light bulb color LEDs 44 are mixed. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to control the color tone of light extracted from the emission surface 112 and the emission surface 122. For example, when it is desired to extract white light from the emission surface 112 and the emission surface 122, only the white LED 43 needs to be lit. Further, by turning on the white LED 43 and the light bulb color LED 44 at the same time and adjusting the ratio of the amount of light of each color, it is possible to change the color tone of the light extracted from the emission surface 112 and the emission surface 122.

さらに、第1光源41、第2光源42は、第1光源制御手段410、第2光源制御手段420によりそれぞれ独立で制御可能であるため、出射面112、出射面122からの取り出し光はそれぞれ独立で色調の制御を行うことが可能となっている。
Furthermore, since the first light source 41 and the second light source 42 can be controlled independently by the first light source control means 410 and the second light source control means 420, the light extracted from the emission surface 112 and the emission surface 122 is independent. It is possible to control the color tone.
本実施形態では、色調制御を行うための光源の構成として、白色と電球色のLED光源を使用しているが、使用する光源の種類や色、配列についてはこれに限らず、目的に応じて、種類や色、配列、個数を適宜決定すればよい。
In the present embodiment, white and bulb-color LED light sources are used as the configuration of the light source for color tone control. However, the type, color, and arrangement of the light sources to be used are not limited to this, and depending on the purpose. The type, color, arrangement, and number may be determined as appropriate.
(導光手段内周部の固定方法)
図5に示すように、光源4と各導光手段の結合部付近は、上下二つのカバー7に挟まれる形で覆われているため、塵や埃の進入を防ぐことが可能となっている。カバー7は、基本的には軽量のものが望ましく、デザイン性などを考慮して決定されれば良い。また、上下のカバー7の外周部が、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12を固定しているため、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12それぞれの上下方向の位置を規制しており、重力方向に発生する導光手段の撓みを抑える効果がある。上下のカバー7は、図3に示すベース3の内側の凹凸部と位置あわせをして組み合わせ、ねじ止め固定される。 (Fixing method of inner periphery of light guide means)
As shown in FIG. 5, the vicinity of the coupling portion between thelight source 4 and each light guide means is covered so as to be sandwiched between two upper and lower covers 7, so that dust and dust can be prevented from entering. . The cover 7 is basically preferably lightweight, and may be determined in consideration of design and the like. Moreover, since the outer peripheral part of the upper and lower covers 7 fixes the first light guide means 11 and the second light guide means 12, the vertical positions of the first light guide means 11 and the second light guide means 12 respectively. And is effective in suppressing the bending of the light guide means generated in the direction of gravity. The upper and lower covers 7 are aligned and combined with the concave and convex portions inside the base 3 shown in FIG.

図7は、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の外周部における固定方法について説明した図である。第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の外周部は、外枠10によって固定され、一体となっている。導光手段と外枠10との固定方法に関しては、例えば接着剤や溶着など、強固に接着固定できる方法であればどの方法でも構わない。外枠10に用いられる材料は、熱膨張に耐えうる材質であって、望ましくは導光手段と同じかそれに近い熱膨張率を備えるものが望ましい。具体的には、例えばアクリル樹脂、ポリカーボネート、ABS樹脂、アルミなどが用いられる。 (Fixing method of outer periphery of light guide means)
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a fixing method in the outer peripheral portion of the firstlight guide unit 11 and the second light guide unit 12. The outer peripheral portions of the first light guide unit 11 and the second light guide unit 12 are fixed by the outer frame 10 and are integrated. As a method for fixing the light guide means and the outer frame 10, any method may be used as long as it can be firmly bonded and fixed, for example, an adhesive or welding. The material used for the outer frame 10 is a material that can withstand thermal expansion, and preferably has a thermal expansion coefficient that is the same as or close to that of the light guide means. Specifically, for example, acrylic resin, polycarbonate, ABS resin, aluminum or the like is used.
図7は、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の外周部における固定方法について説明した図である。第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の外周部は、外枠10によって固定され、一体となっている。導光手段と外枠10との固定方法に関しては、例えば接着剤や溶着など、強固に接着固定できる方法であればどの方法でも構わない。外枠10に用いられる材料は、熱膨張に耐えうる材質であって、望ましくは導光手段と同じかそれに近い熱膨張率を備えるものが望ましい。具体的には、例えばアクリル樹脂、ポリカーボネート、ABS樹脂、アルミなどが用いられる。 (Fixing method of outer periphery of light guide means)
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a fixing method in the outer peripheral portion of the first
組立の方法としては、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12をベース3に対して、位置決めピン8とピン受け部9の係合によりベース3に対して位置決めを行った後、各導光手段を外枠10に対して固定することにより、各導光手段はどの姿勢においてもベース3から外れなくなる。
As an assembly method, after positioning the first light guide means 11 and the second light guide means 12 with respect to the base 3 with respect to the base 3 by engaging the positioning pins 8 and the pin receiving portions 9, By fixing the light guide means to the outer frame 10, each light guide means does not come off the base 3 in any posture.
上記のような固定方法を用いると、各導光手段はベース3に対してネジ止めや接着等で直接固定する必要が無い。導光手段とベース3をネジ止めや接着等で直接固定した場合、環境温度が変化した場合、あるいは光源4の点灯により、熱が発生すると、各部材の熱膨張率の違いから、各導光手段やベース3に歪みが発生し、その結果、光源4と各導光手段の入射面111、入射面121との間に位置ずれが発生し、光学性能が低下する。しかし、本実施形態の構成によれば、第1導光手段11、第2の導光手段12はベース3に対して接着剤などを用いて完全に固定されているわけではないため、熱膨張率の違いにより発生する部材の歪みを防ぐことが可能となっている。
When the fixing method as described above is used, each light guide means does not need to be directly fixed to the base 3 by screwing or bonding. When the light guide means and the base 3 are directly fixed by screwing, bonding, or the like, when the environmental temperature changes, or when heat is generated due to the lighting of the light source 4, each light guide means from the difference in thermal expansion coefficient of each member. As a result, distortion occurs in the means and the base 3, and as a result, a positional shift occurs between the light source 4 and the incident surface 111 and the incident surface 121 of each light guide means, and the optical performance is deteriorated. However, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the first light guide unit 11 and the second light guide unit 12 are not completely fixed to the base 3 using an adhesive or the like. It is possible to prevent member distortion caused by the difference in rate.
また、外枠10は、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の全周を覆うように固定されているため、外周部から導光手段の対向面113、対向面123側への塵や埃の侵入を防ぎ、光学特性の低下を防止することが可能となっている。
Further, since the outer frame 10 is fixed so as to cover the entire circumference of the first light guide unit 11 and the second light guide unit 12, the outer frame 10 faces the opposing surface 113 and the opposing surface 123 side of the light guide unit. It is possible to prevent dust and dust from entering and prevent deterioration of optical characteristics.
ここで、外枠10の熱膨張率は、第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12の熱膨張率と略同一であれば、なお好ましい。外枠10と第1導光手段11、第2導光手段12とで熱膨張率が異なる場合、環境温度が変化した際に、各部材を接着固定しているため、部材に歪みが生じるが、固定する各部材の熱膨張率を略同一とすることにより、環境温度変化時における歪みを低減することが可能となる。
Here, it is more preferable that the thermal expansion coefficient of the outer frame 10 is substantially the same as that of the first light guide means 11 and the second light guide means 12. When the outer frame 10 and the first light guide unit 11 and the second light guide unit 12 have different coefficients of thermal expansion, the members are bonded and fixed when the environmental temperature changes. By making the thermal expansion coefficient of each member to be fixed substantially the same, it becomes possible to reduce the distortion at the time of environmental temperature change.
