一种液晶显示装置及其背光模组，该背光模组包括导光板（2）和设置在该导光板（2）旁侧的至少一发光源（1），该至少一发光源（1）是设置在该导光板（2）的角落的旁侧的，该背光模组还包括设置在该导光板（2）外侧的至少一反光片（3），每个反光片（3）是对应于一发光源（1）而倾斜地设置在该导光板（2）的旁侧并位于该发光源（1）的外侧。

Description

液晶显示装置及其背光模组 技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示装置， 特别是涉及液晶显示装置中的背光模组的结构。 背景技术 液晶显示装置是采用液晶提供图像的显示， 其通常由液晶面板、 背光模组、 相关的数 字电路以及电源等组成。 以灯管的位置进行分类， 背光模组主要可分为三类： 1、 侧光式 结构， 发光源设置在导光板的侧边； 2、 直下型结构， 光线由自发性光源射出通过反射板 反射后， 向上经扩散板均匀分散后于正面射出； 3、 中空型结构， 使用热阴极管作为发光 源， 此结构以空气作为光传媒， 光源向下被稜镜片与反射板对方向调整及反射后， 一部分 向上穿过导光板并出射于表面，另一部分因全反射再度进入中空腔直到经折反射作用后穿 过导光板出射， 而向上的光源或直接进入导光板出射， 或经一连串折反射作用再出射， 导 光板的形状为楔型结构。
现今的侧光式背光模块有采用 LED来做发光源的， 参见图 1， 由于 LED光源 la具有 很好的指向性， 致使 LED所发出的光线太过集中， 导致 LED发光时， 导光板 2a的出光面 会呈现亮度分布不均的画面 （又称为 hot spot 或车头灯现象） 。 现有的这种结构， 由亮 度分布不均的现象会导致显示区 S 面积的减少， 对制造更大尺寸的液晶显示装置构成障 碍。 发明内容
本发明的目的在于， 提供一种液晶显示装置的背光模组的结构， 可以有效解决亮度分 布不均的问题， 为制造更大尺寸的液晶显示装置扫除障碍。
为了实现上述的目的， 本发明提出一种液晶显示装置的背光模组， 包括一导光板和设 置在该导光板旁侧的至少一发光源， 该至少一发光源是设置在该导光板的角落的旁侧的， 该背光模组还包括设置在该导光板外侧的至少一反光片，每个反光片是对应于一发光源而 倾斜地设置该导光板的旁侧并位于该发光源的外侧。
该导光板为四边形， 发光源的数目为二， 分别设置在该导光板的对角处。
该导光板为四边形， 发光源的数目为四， 分别设置在该导光板的四个角落处。
每个反光片的一端与导光板的一个角倾斜相交、 另一端位于该发光源外侧。 该反光片与导光板的夹角小于 90度。
该反光片与导光板的夹角小于 45度。
该反光片的长宽尺寸与其所对应的导光板的侧面的长宽尺寸相当。
该光源是 LED的。
该发光源是面向与其对应的反光片发光的。
为了实现上述的目的， 本发明还提出一种液晶显示装置， 包括如上所述的背光模组。 与现有技术相比， 本发明的液晶显示装置及其背光模组， 通过将发光源设置导光板的 角落处并在发光源的外侧相对该导光板倾斜设置反光片，可以有效解决亮度分布不均的问 题， 为制造更大尺寸的液晶显示装置扫除障碍。 附图说明
图 1为现有的液晶显示装置及其背光模组的工作原理示意图。
图 2为本发明的液晶显示装置及其背光模组实施例一的结构示意图。
图 3为本发明的液晶显示装置及其背光模组实施例二的结构示意图。 具体实施方式
以下结合附图所示之最佳实施例作进一步详述。
参见图 2， 本发明的液晶显示装置及其背光模组实施例一大致包括： 发光源 1， 导光 板 2和反光片 3。 其中，
该导光板 2为四边形， 优选地， 为矩形。 发光源 1的数目为二， 分别设置在该导光板
2的对角处。 反光片 3与发光源 1相对应， 倾斜地设置该导光板 2的旁侧并位于对应发光 源 1的外侧。每一发光源 1是面向与其对应的反光片 3发光的。每个反光片 3的一端与导 光板 2的一个角倾斜相交、 另一端位于该发光源 1外侧， 也就是说， 对应于该导光板 2的 一侧的两个角， 发光源 1设置在其中一角处， 对应于该发光源 1的反光片 3则与该导光板 2相交于另一角处， 如果将该反光片 3和与其相交的导光板 2的侧面视为一夹子， 则发光 源 1恰好是设置在该夹子的夹口处。 该夹子的夹角小于 90度， 优选地， 小于 45度。
优选地， 发光源 1是 LED的。 LED是面向反光片 3并成适当的角度发光的， 以使其发 出的光线能够经由反光片 3均匀地从侧面入射到导光板 2中，然后能均匀地由导光板 2的 出光面送出， 为液晶面板 （图未示出） 提供分布均匀的背光。
参见图 3，本发明的液晶显示装置及其背光模组实施例二与上述实施例一的区别在于: 发光源 1的数目由二变为四， 分别设置在该导光板 2的四个角落处， 相应地， 反光片 3的 数目由二变为四， 分别设置在该导光板 2的四侧。
与现有技术相比， 本发明的液晶显示装置及其背光模块， 通过将发光源 1设置在导光 板 2的角落处， 并在发光源 1的外侧设置反光片 3， 利用发光片 3来反射发光源 1发出的 光线， 以使发光源 1发出的光线间接地入射到导光板 2中， 从而可以减少或消除光线分布 不均的情形， 进而扩大显示区的有效面积， 为制造更大尺寸的液晶显示装置扫除障碍。
以上， 仅为本发明之较佳实施例， 意在进一步说明本发明， 而非对其进行限定。 凡根 据上述之文字和附图所公开的内容进行的简单的替换， 都在本专利的权利保护范围之列。
