As an example of such a backlight device, an edge light type backlight device in which a light source such as an LED is arranged on a side plate side of a chassis as a housing is known.
 特許文献1に、エッジライト型のバックライト装置が開示されている。このバックライト装置は、導光板を備えておらず、シャーシの底板の表側に表示面側に向かって凸状をなす立体形状の反射シートが配されている。この反射シートによって、光源から出射された光は、表示面側へと反射される。このような反射シートを適用することにより、光源からの光を導光板等を介さずに直接表示面側へと導光するエッジライト型のバックライト装置が実現されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses an edge light type backlight device. This backlight device is not provided with a light guide plate, and a three-dimensional reflection sheet that is convex toward the display surface side is arranged on the front side of the bottom plate of the chassis. The light emitted from the light source is reflected by the reflection sheet toward the display surface. By applying such a reflection sheet, an edge light type backlight device that guides light from the light source directly to the display surface side without using a light guide plate or the like is realized.

By the way, in the case of a backlight device that does not include a light guide plate, light directed from directly above the light source (display surface side, opposite to the bottom plate) out of light emitted from the light source directly enters the display surface. For this reason, a portion of the display surface corresponding to the portion directly above the light source becomes excessively bright, and brightness and darkness may occur between the display surface and other portions, resulting in uneven brightness on the display surface.
 ここで、特許文献1のバックライト装置では、光源から当該光源の直上に出射された光を反射するためのリフレクタを備えており、これにより光源の直上に相当する部位が過度に明るくならない構成とされている。しかしながら、このようなリフレクタ等の部材を配するために、シャーシ内の側板近傍にスペースが必要となるため、バックライト装置の狭額化を実現することが困難となる。 Here, the backlight device of Patent Document 1 includes a reflector for reflecting light emitted from a light source directly above the light source, thereby preventing a portion corresponding to the light source from being excessively bright. Has been. However, in order to arrange such a member such as a reflector, a space is required in the vicinity of the side plate in the chassis, so that it is difficult to reduce the size of the backlight device.

 反射シート26は、長方形状を成し、合成樹脂製とされると共にその表面が反射面26aとされて光反射性に優れた白色とされており、シャーシ22の底板22aの表側に載置されている。また、反射シート26は、図3に示す断面構成の断面視において、その一部が表側方向に向かって突出する凸状をなすような立体形状とされている。この凸状の部位26bは、断面視曲面状とされ、拡散板20側(シャーシ22の表側)に向かうにつれてその勾配が急になっている。また、凸状の部位26bは、対向する2つの側板22bの中心位置20a1に設けられている。反射シート26は、このような立体形状をなすことで、LED光源28から出射された光をその反射面26aによって拡散板20側へ反射させることが可能となっている(図3の一点鎖線参照)。なお、反射シート26は、賦形反射シートで構成されており、凸状の部位26bを支持ピン等の他の部材で支持しなくてもその立体形状が維持される構成となっている。 The reflection sheet 26 has a rectangular shape, is made of a synthetic resin, has a reflective surface 26a, and has a white surface excellent in light reflectivity, and is placed on the front side of the bottom plate 22a of the chassis 22. ing. Further, the reflection sheet 26 has a three-dimensional shape in which a part of the reflection sheet 26 has a convex shape protruding in the front side direction in the cross-sectional view of the cross-sectional configuration shown in FIG. The convex portion 26b has a curved surface shape in a sectional view, and the gradient thereof becomes steeper toward the diffusion plate 20 side (the front side of the chassis 22). The convex portion 26b is provided at the center position 20a1 of the two opposing side plates 22b. By forming such a three-dimensional shape, the reflection sheet 26 can reflect the light emitted from the LED light source 28 to the diffusion plate 20 side by the reflection surface 26a (see the one-dot chain line in FIG. 3). ). In addition, the reflection sheet 26 is comprised with the shaping reflection sheet, and becomes the structure by which the solid shape is maintained even if it does not support the convex site | part 26b with other members, such as a support pin.
 続いて本実施形態の要部である光学部材34の構成について詳しく説明する。光学部材34は、図3に示すように、延在部34aと取付部34bとから構成されている。取付部34bは板状をなしており、その板面がシャーシ22の側板22bの外側の面(取付板36の側面部36bと当接する側とは反対側の面)と当接して当該側板22bに取り付けられ、当該側板22bとフレーム14との間に挟持されている。延在部34aは、その一部がシャーシ22の側板22bの上端面と当接するように、取付部34bの上端縁から先端に向かうにつれて先細り状とされた板状をなしており、シャーシ22の底板22aの板面に対して平行となるようにシャーシ22の底板の中心(対向する2つの側板22bの中心位置20a1)側に向かって延在している。 Next, the configuration of the optical member 34 that is a main part of the present embodiment will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 3, the optical member 34 includes an extending portion 34a and an attaching portion 34b. The mounting portion 34b has a plate shape, and its plate surface comes into contact with the outer surface of the side plate 22b of the chassis 22 (the surface opposite to the side contacting the side surface portion 36b of the mounting plate 36). And is sandwiched between the side plate 22 b and the frame 14. The extending portion 34 a has a plate-like shape that tapers from the upper end edge of the mounting portion 34 b toward the tip so that a part of the extending portion 34 a contacts the upper end surface of the side plate 22 b of the chassis 22. It extends toward the center of the bottom plate of the chassis 22 (the center position 20a1 of the two opposing side plates 22b) so as to be parallel to the plate surface of the bottom plate 22a.
 光学部材34の延在部34aは、図3に示すように、その先端が、液晶パネル16の表示領域16a内にまで達しており、表示面の端縁部と重畳している。そして、延在部34aは、入射した光の一部を透過し、一部を反射させるような材料で形成されている。具体的には、当該延在部34aはポリメタクリル(PMMA)樹脂で形成されている。このため、LED光源28から出射されてLED光源28の直上(底板22aとは反対側、表側)に向かう光は、一部が延在部34aを透過して拡散板20の裏面に入光し、一部が延在部34aによって反射シート26側へ反射される(図3の一点鎖線参照)。この反射シート26側に反射された光は当該反射シート26の反射面26aによって再び反射され、拡散板20の裏面のうち、液晶パネル15の表示面の中央近傍と重畳する位置に入光することとなる。このように、LED光源28の直上に向かった光は、その一部のみが反射シート26を介することなく直接拡散板20に入光することとなるので、LED光源28の直上に向かった光の全てが直接拡散板20に入光する場合に比して、LED光源28の直上が過度に明るくなることがなく、液晶パネル16の表示面における輝度ムラが防止ないし抑制される。 As shown in FIG. 3, the extended portion 34a of the optical member 34 reaches the inside of the display area 16a of the liquid crystal panel 16 and overlaps the edge of the display surface. The extending portion 34a is formed of a material that transmits a part of incident light and reflects a part thereof. Specifically, the extension part 34a is made of polymethacrylic (PMMA) resin. For this reason, a part of the light emitted from the LED light source 28 and traveling directly above the LED light source 28 (on the opposite side to the bottom plate 22a, the front side) passes through the extending portion 34a and enters the back surface of the diffusion plate 20. A part of the light is reflected toward the reflection sheet 26 by the extending part 34a (see the one-dot chain line in FIG. 3). The light reflected toward the reflection sheet 26 is reflected again by the reflection surface 26a of the reflection sheet 26, and enters the position on the back surface of the diffusion plate 20 that overlaps with the vicinity of the center of the display surface of the liquid crystal panel 15. It becomes. In this way, only a part of the light directed directly above the LED light source 28 enters the diffusion plate 20 without going through the reflection sheet 26, so that the light directed directly above the LED light source 28 Compared to the case where everything directly enters the diffuser plate 20, the portion directly above the LED light source 28 does not become excessively bright, and luminance unevenness on the display surface of the liquid crystal panel 16 is prevented or suppressed.
 また、光学部材34は、上述したように、その取付部34bがシャーシ22の側板22bの外側に配され、その延在部34aがシャーシ22の側板22bの上端面と当接するように配されるので、シャーシ22内に光学部材34を配するためのスペースを設ける必要がない。このため、バックライト装置24の狭額縁化を実現可能な構成となっている。 Further, as described above, the optical member 34 is disposed such that the attachment portion 34b is disposed on the outer side of the side plate 22b of the chassis 22 and the extending portion 34a is in contact with the upper end surface of the side plate 22b of the chassis 22. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a space for arranging the optical member 34 in the chassis 22. For this reason, the configuration of the backlight device 24 can be reduced.
 以上のように本実施形態に係るバックライト装置24では、LED光源28から出射された光のうちLED光源28の直上(底板22aとは反対側)に向かった光は光学部材34によってその一部が反射シート26側に反射されるため、LED光源28の直上が過度に明るくなることがない。さらに、光学部材34は、入射した光の一部を透過することから、液晶パネル16の表示面と重畳して配されてもよいため、シャーシ22の外側に配されてもよく、シャーシ22内の側板22b近傍にスペースが必要となることがない。このため、LED光源28からの光を導光板等を介さずに直接表示面方向へ反射させるタイプのバックライト装置24において、狭額縁化を可能としながら、液晶パネル16の表示面における輝度ムラを防止ないし抑制することができる。 As described above, in the backlight device 24 according to the present embodiment, a part of the light emitted from the LED light source 28 that is directed directly above the LED light source 28 (on the side opposite to the bottom plate 22a) is partially reflected by the optical member 34. Is reflected on the reflection sheet 26 side, so that the portion directly above the LED light source 28 does not become excessively bright. Furthermore, since the optical member 34 transmits a part of the incident light, it may be disposed so as to overlap the display surface of the liquid crystal panel 16, and therefore may be disposed outside the chassis 22. No space is required near the side plate 22b. For this reason, in the backlight device 24 of the type that directly reflects the light from the LED light source 28 in the direction of the display surface without passing through a light guide plate or the like, the luminance unevenness on the display surface of the liquid crystal panel 16 can be reduced while enabling a narrow frame. It can be prevented or suppressed.
 また、本実施形態に係るバックライト装置24では、光学部材34が、シャーシ22の側22b板に取り付けられる取付部34bと、取付部34bの端縁から底板22aと平行に底板22aの中心側に向かって延在する延在部34aとを有している。さらに、光学部材34がアクリル樹脂により形成されている。このため、光学部材34の具体的な構成が実現されている。 In the backlight device 24 according to the present embodiment, the optical member 34 is attached to the side 22b plate of the chassis 22 and the center of the bottom plate 22a is parallel to the bottom plate 22a from the edge of the mounting portion 34b. And an extending portion 34a extending toward the front. Furthermore, the optical member 34 is formed of an acrylic resin. For this reason, a specific configuration of the optical member 34 is realized.
 また、本実施形態に係るバックライト装置24では、表面に複数のLED光源28が配されたLED基板30と、一方の板面にLED基板30が配されるとともに、その一部が底板22aに取り付けられた取付板36とをさらに備えている。このため、LED光源28を側板22b側に取り付けるための具体的な構成が実現されている。 In the backlight device 24 according to the present embodiment, the LED substrate 30 having a plurality of LED light sources 28 disposed on the surface, the LED substrate 30 disposed on one plate surface, and a part of the LED substrate 30 on the bottom plate 22a. And a mounting plate 36 attached thereto. For this reason, the specific structure for attaching the LED light source 28 to the side plate 22b side is realized.
 また、本実施形態に係るバックライト装置24では、取付板36が底板22aよりも放熱性が高い放熱板とされている。このため、LED光源28から発生する熱を取付板36によって外部に効果的に放熱させることができる。 Further, in the backlight device 24 according to the present embodiment, the mounting plate 36 is a heat radiating plate having higher heat dissipation than the bottom plate 22a. For this reason, the heat generated from the LED light source 28 can be effectively radiated to the outside by the mounting plate 36.
 また、本実施形態に係るバックライト装置24では、対向する2つの側板22b側にLED光源28がそれぞれ配されている。そして、反射シート26の凸状とされた部位26bが対向する2つの側板22bの中心位置20aに設けられている。このため、両側のLED光源28から出射された光を反射シート26によって略均一に拡散板20側に反射させることができ、液晶パネル16の表示面の輝度ムラを一層防止ないし抑制することができる。 Further, in the backlight device 24 according to the present embodiment, the LED light sources 28 are arranged on the two side plates 22b facing each other. And the convex part 26b of the reflective sheet 26 is provided at the center position 20a of the two side plates 22b facing each other. For this reason, the light emitted from the LED light sources 28 on both sides can be reflected almost uniformly to the diffuser plate 20 side by the reflection sheet 26, and the luminance unevenness of the display surface of the liquid crystal panel 16 can be further prevented or suppressed. .
 また、本実施形態に係るバックライト装置24では、側板22bの立ち上がり先端側に配された拡散板20をさらに備えている。このため、拡散板20によって反射光のムラを軽減することができる。 In addition, the backlight device 24 according to the present embodiment further includes a diffusion plate 20 disposed on the leading end side of the side plate 22b. For this reason, the unevenness of reflected light can be reduced by the diffusion plate 20.
 また、本実施形態に係るバックライト装置24では、反射シート26の反射面26aが白色とされている。このため、反射シート26の反射効率を高めることができる。 In the backlight device 24 according to the present embodiment, the reflection surface 26a of the reflection sheet 26 is white. For this reason, the reflection efficiency of the reflection sheet 26 can be improved.
