Description

表示装置、及びテレビ受信装置Display device and television receiver
 本発明は、表示装置、及びテレビ受信装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a display device and a television receiver.
 近年、テレビ受信装置をはじめとする画像表示装置の表示素子は、従来のブラウン管から液晶パネルやプラズマディスプレイパネルなどの薄型表示素子を適用した薄型表示装置に移行しつつあり、画像表示装置の薄型化を可能としている。液晶表示装置は、これに用いる液晶パネルが自発光しないため、別途に照明装置としてバックライト装置を必要としている。このようなバックライト装置の一例として、導光板の側面に入光面が設けられ、導光板の側面側にLED等の光源が配されたエッジライト型のバックライト装置が知られている。 In recent years, display elements of image display devices such as television receivers are shifting from conventional cathode ray tubes to thin display devices to which thin display elements such as liquid crystal panels and plasma display panels are applied. Is possible. The liquid crystal display device requires a backlight device as a separate illumination device because the liquid crystal panel used for this does not emit light. As an example of such a backlight device, an edge light type backlight device in which a light incident surface is provided on a side surface of a light guide plate and a light source such as an LED is disposed on a side surface side of the light guide plate is known.
 エッジライト型のバックライト装置において、筺体の一部に位置決め部材を設け、導光板の端部と当接又は嵌合させることで、筺体内において導光板が位置決めされた構成が知られている。このような位置決め構成が実現されたエッジライト型のバックライト装置を備える液晶表示装置が、例えば特許文献1に開示されている。 In an edge light type backlight device, a configuration is known in which a light guide plate is positioned in a housing by providing a positioning member in a part of the housing and abutting or fitting with an end portion of the light guide plate. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a liquid crystal display device including an edge light type backlight device in which such a positioning configuration is realized.

(発明が解決しようとする課題)
 ところで、上記のような位置決め部材は、液晶表示装置の製造工程において、シャーシ内に導光板を収容した後、シャーシの一部にビス留め等によって取り付けられる。ビス留めによって取り付けられる場合、シャーシにビスの固定する際にビスの回転方向に沿って位置決め部材が回転し、位置決め部材が導光板と当接する場合がある。
(Problems to be solved by the invention)
By the way, the positioning member as described above is attached to a part of the chassis by screwing or the like after the light guide plate is accommodated in the chassis in the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display device. When it is attached by screwing, when the screw is fixed to the chassis, the positioning member may rotate along the rotation direction of the screw, and the positioning member may contact the light guide plate.
 ここで、上述した特許文献1の液晶表示装置では、導光板を保持するとともにシャーシ内において導光板を位置決めするための位置決め部材としての複数のストッパー金具が、シャーシの側板にビス留めによって取り付けられる。しかしながら、これらのストッパー金具は、導光板の厚み方向を回転軸方向としてビス留めされるものであるため、液晶表示装置の製造工程においてストッパー金具をシャーシに取り付ける際にストッパー金具が回転して導光板と当接すると、導光板が位置決め部材によって押されてその板面方向に沿って回転し、導光板が位置ずれする虞がある。シャーシ内において導光板が位置ずれすると、液晶パネルの表示面において輝度ムラが発生する要因となる。 Here, in the liquid crystal display device of Patent Document 1 described above, a plurality of stopper fittings as positioning members for holding the light guide plate and positioning the light guide plate in the chassis are attached to the side plates of the chassis by screws. However, since these stopper fittings are screwed with the thickness direction of the light guide plate as the rotation axis direction, when the stopper fitting is attached to the chassis in the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display device, the stopper fitting rotates to rotate the light guide plate. , The light guide plate is pushed by the positioning member and rotated along the plate surface direction, and the light guide plate may be displaced. If the light guide plate is displaced in the chassis, it causes luminance unevenness on the display surface of the liquid crystal panel.
 本明細書で開示される技術は、上記の課題に鑑みて創作されたものである。本明細書で開示される技術は、エッジライト型の照明装置を備える表示装置において導光板が位置決めされる構成を実現しながら、その製造工程において、導光板がその板面方向に沿って位置ずれすることを防止することができる技術を提供することを目的とする。 The technology disclosed in this specification has been created in view of the above problems. The technology disclosed in this specification realizes a configuration in which a light guide plate is positioned in a display device including an edge light type illumination device, and in the manufacturing process, the light guide plate is displaced along the plate surface direction. An object of the present invention is to provide a technique that can prevent this from happening.

 この導光板16の主面のうち、表側を向いた面(光学部材15との対向面)が内部の光を光学部材15及び液晶パネル11に向けて出射させる光出射面16aとなっている。導光板16における主面に対して隣り合う外周端面のうち、X軸方向に沿って長手状をなす長辺側の両端面(短辺方向についての両端部が有する両端面)は、それぞれLED22(LED基板18)と所定の空間を空けて正対する形で対向状をなしており、これらがLED22から発せられた光が入射される一対の光入射面16bとなっている。この光入射面16bは、X軸方向及びZ軸方向(LED基板18の主板面)に沿って並行する面とされ、光出射面16aに対して略直交する面とされる。また、LED22と光入射面16bとの並び方向は、Y軸方向と一致しており、光出射面16aに並行している。 Of the main surface of the light guide plate 16, the surface facing the front side (the surface facing the optical member 15) is a light emitting surface 16 a that emits internal light toward the optical member 15 and the liquid crystal panel 11. Of the outer peripheral end surfaces adjacent to the main surface of the light guide plate 16, both end surfaces on the long side that are long along the X-axis direction (both end surfaces on both ends in the short side direction) are LED 22 ( The LED substrate 18) and the LED substrate 18) are opposed to each other with a predetermined space therebetween, and form a pair of light incident surfaces 16b on which light emitted from the LEDs 22 is incident. The light incident surface 16b is a surface parallel to the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction (the main plate surface of the LED substrate 18), and is a surface substantially orthogonal to the light emitting surface 16a. Further, the alignment direction of the LED 22 and the light incident surface 16b coincides with the Y-axis direction and is parallel to the light emitting surface 16a.
 導光板16における裏側、つまり光出射面16aとは反対側の面(シャーシ14との対向面)16cには、図4に示すように、その面16cから裏側外部に出射した光を反射して表側へ立ち上げることが可能な反射シート26がそのほぼ全域を覆う形で設けられている。換言すれば、反射シート26は、シャーシ14と導光板16との間に挟み込まれた形で配されている。この反射シート26は、合成樹脂製とされ、表面が光の反射性に優れた白色を呈するものとされる。反射シート26は、その短辺寸法が導光板16の短辺寸法よりも大きくなっており、その両端部が導光板16の光入射面16bよりもLED22寄りに突き出して配されている。この反射シート26における突出部位によってLED22からシャーシ14側に向けて斜めに進行する光を効率的に反射して、導光板16の光入射面16bへと向かわせることが可能とされている。なお、導光板16における光出射面16aまたはその反対側の面16cの少なくともいずれか一方には、内部の光を反射させる反射部(図示せず)または内部の光を散乱させる散乱部(図示せず)が所定の面内分布を持つようパターニングされており、それにより光出射面16aからの出射光が面内において均一な分布となるよう制御されている。 The back side of the light guide plate 16, that is, the surface opposite to the light emitting surface 16a (the surface facing the chassis 14) 16c reflects light emitted from the surface 16c to the outside outside as shown in FIG. A reflection sheet 26 that can be raised to the front side is provided so as to cover almost the entire area. In other words, the reflection sheet 26 is disposed in a form sandwiched between the chassis 14 and the light guide plate 16. The reflection sheet 26 is made of a synthetic resin and has a white surface with excellent light reflectivity. The reflection sheet 26 has a short side dimension larger than the short side dimension of the light guide plate 16, and both ends thereof are arranged to protrude closer to the LED 22 than the light incident surface 16 b of the light guide plate 16. Light that travels obliquely from the LED 22 toward the chassis 14 can be efficiently reflected by the projecting portion of the reflection sheet 26 and directed toward the light incident surface 16 b of the light guide plate 16. It should be noted that at least one of the light exit surface 16a and the opposite surface 16c of the light guide plate 16 has a reflection part (not shown) for reflecting internal light or a scattering part (not shown) for scattering internal light. Are patterned so as to have a predetermined in-plane distribution, whereby the light emitted from the light exit surface 16a is controlled to have a uniform distribution in the surface.
 次に、LEDユニットLUを構成するLED17、LED基板18及び放熱部材19の構成について順次に説明する。LEDユニットLUを構成するLED17は、図3及び図4に示すように、LED基板18に固着される基板部上にLEDチップを樹脂材により封止した構成とされる。基板部に実装されるLEDチップは、主発光波長が1種類とされ、具体的には、青色を単色発光するものが用いられている。その一方、LEDチップを封止する樹脂材には、LEDチップから発せられた青色の光により励起されて所定の色を発光する蛍光体が分散配合されており、全体として概ね白色光を発するものとされる。なお、蛍光体としては、例えば黄色光を発光する黄色蛍光体、緑色光を発光する緑色蛍光体、及び赤色光を発光する赤色蛍光体の中から適宜組み合わせて用いたり、またはいずれか1つを単独で用いたりすることができる。このLED17は、LED基板18に対する実装面とは反対側の面(導光板16の光入射面16bと正対する対向面)が主発光面17aとなる、いわゆる頂面発光型とされている。 Next, the configuration of the LED 17, the LED substrate 18, and the heat radiating member 19 constituting the LED unit LU will be sequentially described. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the LED 17 constituting the LED unit LU has a configuration in which an LED chip is sealed with a resin material on a substrate portion fixed to the LED substrate 18. The LED chip mounted on the substrate unit has one main emission wavelength, and specifically, one that emits blue light in a single color is used. On the other hand, the resin material that seals the LED chip is dispersed and blended with a phosphor that emits a predetermined color when excited by the blue light emitted from the LED chip, and generally emits white light as a whole. It is said. In addition, as the phosphor, for example, a yellow phosphor that emits yellow light, a green phosphor that emits green light, and a red phosphor that emits red light are used in appropriate combination, or any one of them is used. It can be used alone. The LED 17 is a so-called top surface light emitting type in which the surface opposite to the mounting surface with respect to the LED substrate 18 (the surface facing the light incident surface 16b of the light guide plate 16) is the main light emitting surface 17a.
 LEDユニットLUを構成する放熱部材19は、例えばアルミニウムなどの熱伝導性に優れた金属製とされ、図3及び図4に示すように、LED基板18が取り付けられるLED取付部(光源取付部)19aと、シャーシ14の板面に面接触される放熱部19bとを備え、これらが断面略L字型の屈曲形状をなしている。放熱部材19は、その長さ寸法が上記したLED基板18の長さ寸法とほぼ同じ程度の大きさとされている。放熱部材19を構成するLED取付部19aは、LED基板18の板面及び導光板16の光入射面16bに並行する板状をなしており、その長辺方向がX軸方向と、短辺方向がZ軸方向と、厚さ方向がY軸方向とそれぞれ一致している。LED取付部19aのうち内側の板面、つまり導光板16側を向いた板面には、LED基板18が取り付けられている。LED取付部19aは、その長辺寸法がLED基板18の長辺寸法と概ね同等とされるものの、短辺寸法がLED基板18の短辺寸法よりも大きくなっている。その上で、LED取付部19aにおける短辺方向の両端部は、LED基板18の両端部からZ軸方向に沿って外向きに突出している。LED取付部19aのうち外側の板面、つまりLED基板18が取り付けられる板面とは反対側の板面は、後述するフレーム13が有する突出部21と対向状をなしている。つまり、LED取付部19aは、フレーム13の突出部21と導光板16との間に介在する形で配されている。LED取付部19aは、次述する放熱部19bにおける内側の端部、つまりLED17(導光板16)側の端部からZ軸方向(液晶パネル11、光学部材15及び導光板16の重なり方向)に沿って表側、つまりフレーム13側に向けて立ち上がる形態とされている。 The heat radiating member 19 constituting the LED unit LU is made of a metal having excellent thermal conductivity such as aluminum, for example, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an LED mounting portion (light source mounting portion) to which the LED substrate 18 is mounted. 19a and a heat dissipating part 19b in surface contact with the plate surface of the chassis 14, and these are bent in a substantially L-shaped cross section. The length of the heat dissipation member 19 is approximately the same as the length of the LED substrate 18 described above. The LED mounting portion 19a constituting the heat radiating member 19 has a plate shape parallel to the plate surface of the LED substrate 18 and the light incident surface 16b of the light guide plate 16, and the long side direction is the X-axis direction and the short side direction. Are coincident with the Z-axis direction and the thickness direction is coincident with the Y-axis direction. The LED board 18 is attached to the inner plate surface of the LED mounting portion 19a, that is, the plate surface facing the light guide plate 16 side. The LED mounting portion 19 a has a long side dimension substantially equal to the long side dimension of the LED substrate 18, but the short side dimension is larger than the short side dimension of the LED substrate 18. In addition, both end portions in the short side direction of the LED mounting portion 19a protrude outward from the both end portions of the LED substrate 18 along the Z-axis direction. The outer plate surface of the LED mounting portion 19a, that is, the plate surface opposite to the plate surface to which the LED substrate 18 is mounted, is opposed to a protruding portion 21 of the frame 13 described later. That is, the LED mounting portion 19 a is arranged in a form that is interposed between the protruding portion 21 of the frame 13 and the light guide plate 16. The LED mounting portion 19a extends in the Z-axis direction (the overlapping direction of the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16) from the inner end of the heat radiating portion 19b described below, that is, the end on the LED 17 (light guide plate 16) side. Along the front side, that is, the frame 13 side.
 放熱部19bは、図3及び図4に示すように、シャーシ14の板面に並行する板状をなしており、その長辺方向がX軸方向と、短辺方向がY軸方向と、厚さ方向がZ軸方向とそれぞれ一致している。放熱部19bは、LED取付部19aにおける裏側の端部、つまりシャーシ14側の端部からY軸方向に沿って外側、つまり導光板16側とは反対側に向けて突出する形態とされている。放熱部19bは、その長辺寸法がLED取付部19aとほぼ同じとされる。放熱部19bのうち裏側の板面、つまりシャーシ14側を向いた板面は、その全域がシャーシ14の板面に対して面接触されている。その上で、放熱部19bのうち表側の板面、つまりシャーシ14に対する接触面とは反対側の板面は、後述するフレーム13が有する突出部21と対向状をなすとともに突出部21の突出端面に対して接触されている。つまり、放熱部19bは、フレーム13の突出部21とシャーシ14との間に挟み込まれる(介在する)形で配されている。これにより、LED17から点灯に伴って生じた熱は、LED基板18、LED取付部19a及び放熱部19bを介して、シャーシ14及び突出部21を有するフレーム13へと伝達されることで、液晶表示装置10の外部へと効率的に放散されるようになっていて内部にこもり難くなっている。そして、この放熱部19bは、突出部21に対してネジ部材SMによって取り付け状態に保持されるようになっており、そのネジ部材SMを通すための挿通孔19b1を有している。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the heat radiating portion 19 b has a plate shape parallel to the plate surface of the chassis 14, and the long side direction is the X-axis direction and the short side direction is the Y-axis direction. The vertical direction coincides with the Z-axis direction. The heat dissipating part 19b protrudes from the end on the back side of the LED mounting part 19a, that is, from the end on the chassis 14 side to the outside along the Y-axis direction, that is, toward the side opposite to the light guide plate 16 side. . The long side dimension of the heat dissipating part 19b is substantially the same as that of the LED mounting part 19a. Of the heat radiating portion 19 b, the entire plate surface on the back side, that is, the plate surface facing the chassis 14 side, is in surface contact with the plate surface of the chassis 14. In addition, the front plate surface of the heat radiating portion 19b, that is, the plate surface on the opposite side to the contact surface with respect to the chassis 14 is opposed to the protruding portion 21 of the frame 13 to be described later, and the protruding end surface of the protruding portion 21 Is in contact with. That is, the heat dissipating part 19b is arranged in such a manner as to be sandwiched (intervened) between the protruding part 21 of the frame 13 and the chassis 14. As a result, the heat generated by the LED 17 when it is turned on is transmitted to the frame 13 having the chassis 14 and the protruding portion 21 via the LED substrate 18, the LED mounting portion 19a, and the heat radiating portion 19b. It is efficiently dissipated to the outside of the device 10 and it is difficult to stay inside. The heat radiating portion 19b is held in an attached state by the screw member SM with respect to the protruding portion 21, and has an insertion hole 19b1 through which the screw member SM passes.
 続いて、外観部材及び保持部材HMをなすフレーム13及びシャーシ14の構成について説明する。フレーム13及びシャーシ14は、いずれも例えばアルミニウムなどの金属製とされており、仮に合成樹脂製とした場合に比べると、機械的強度(剛性)及び熱伝導性がいずれも高くなっている。これらフレーム13及びシャーシ14は、図3に示すように、その短辺方向についての両端部(両長辺側端部)に対をなすLEDユニットLUをそれぞれ収容しつつも、互いに積層配置された液晶パネル11、光学部材15及び導光板16を表側と裏側とから挟み込む形で収容するものとされる。 Subsequently, the configuration of the frame 13 and the chassis 14 that form the appearance member and the holding member HM will be described. Both the frame 13 and the chassis 14 are made of metal such as aluminum, for example, and mechanical strength (rigidity) and thermal conductivity are both higher than when the frame 13 and the chassis 14 are made of synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 3, the frame 13 and the chassis 14 are stacked on each other while accommodating the LED units LU paired at both ends (both ends on both long sides) in the short side direction. The liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16 are accommodated so as to be sandwiched from the front side and the back side.
 フレーム13は、図3に示すように、液晶パネル11の表示面11cにおける表示領域を取り囲むよう、全体として横長の枠状をなしている。フレーム13は、液晶パネル11の表示面11cに並行するとともに液晶パネル11を表側から押さえるパネル押さえ部13aと、パネル押さえ部13aの外周側部分から裏側に向けて突出する側壁部13bとからなり、断面形状が略L字型となっている。このうち、パネル押さえ部13aは、液晶パネル11の外周側部分(非表示領域、額縁部分)に倣って横長の枠状をなすとともに液晶パネル11の外周側部分をほぼ全周にわたって表側から押さえることが可能とされる。パネル押さえ部13aは、液晶パネル11の外周側部分に加えて、液晶パネル11の外周側部分よりも放射方向について外側に配される光学部材15及び導光板16の外周側部分、及び各LEDユニットLUをも表側から覆うことが可能な幅を有している。パネル押さえ部13aのうち表側を向いた外面(液晶パネル11に対する対向面とは反対側の面)は、液晶パネル11の表示面11cと同じく液晶表示装置10における表側外部に露出しており、液晶パネル11の表示面11cと共に液晶表示装置10の正面を構成している。一方、側壁部13bは、パネル押さえ部13aにおける外周側部分(詳しくは外周端部)から裏側に向けて突出する略角筒状をなしている。側壁部13bは、内部に収容される液晶パネル11、光学部材15、導光板16及び各LEDユニットLUを全周にわたって取り囲むとともに、裏側のシャーシ14をもほぼ全周にわたって取り囲むことが可能とされる。側壁部13bは、液晶表示装置10における周方向に沿った外面が、液晶表示装置10における周方向外部に露出しており、液晶表示装置10における天面、底面、両側面を構成している。 As shown in FIG. 3, the frame 13 has a horizontally long frame shape as a whole so as to surround the display area on the display surface 11 c of the liquid crystal panel 11. The frame 13 includes a panel pressing portion 13a that is parallel to the display surface 11c of the liquid crystal panel 11 and presses the liquid crystal panel 11 from the front side, and a side wall portion 13b that protrudes from the outer peripheral side portion of the panel pressing portion 13a toward the back side. The cross-sectional shape is substantially L-shaped. Among these, the panel pressing portion 13a forms a horizontally long frame shape following the outer peripheral side portion (non-display area, frame portion) of the liquid crystal panel 11, and presses the outer peripheral side portion of the liquid crystal panel 11 from the front side over almost the entire circumference. Is possible. In addition to the outer peripheral portion of the liquid crystal panel 11, the panel pressing portion 13 a includes the optical member 15 and the outer peripheral portion of the light guide plate 16 disposed on the outer side in the radial direction than the outer peripheral portion of the liquid crystal panel 11, and each LED unit. The LU also has a width that can be covered from the front side. The outer surface of the panel pressing portion 13a facing the front side (the surface opposite to the surface facing the liquid crystal panel 11) is exposed to the outside on the front side of the liquid crystal display device 10 like the display surface 11c of the liquid crystal panel 11. The front surface of the liquid crystal display device 10 is configured together with the display surface 11 c of the panel 11. On the other hand, the side wall part 13b has comprised the substantially square cylinder shape which protrudes toward the back side from the outer peripheral side part (specifically outer peripheral edge part) in the panel pressing part 13a. The side wall portion 13b surrounds the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, the light guide plate 16, and each LED unit LU accommodated in the entire circumference, and can also surround the back side chassis 14 over almost the entire circumference. . The side wall portion 13 b has an outer surface along the circumferential direction of the liquid crystal display device 10 exposed to the outside in the circumferential direction of the liquid crystal display device 10, and constitutes a top surface, a bottom surface, and both side surfaces of the liquid crystal display device 10.
 上記した基礎的構成を有する枠状のフレーム13は、図8に示すように、各辺(各長辺部分及び各短辺部分)毎に分割された4つの分割フレーム13Sを組み付けてなるものとされる。詳しくは、分割フレーム13Sは、フレーム13(パネル押さえ部13a及び側壁部13b)における各長辺側部分を構成する一対の長辺側分割フレーム13SLと、各短辺側部分を構成する一対の短辺側分割フレーム13SSとからなるものとされる。長辺側分割フレーム13SLは、X軸方向に沿って延在する断面略L字型の角柱材からなるのに対し、短辺側分割フレーム13SSは、Y軸方向に沿って延在する断面略L字型の角柱材からなる。これにより、各分割フレーム13Sを製造するに際して、例えば金属材料を押し出し成形する、といった製造方法を採用することが可能となるから、仮に枠状のフレーム13を金属材料の削り出しなどの製造方法によって製造した場合に比べて、製造コストの低廉化を図ることができる。隣り合う長辺側分割フレーム13SL及び短辺側分割フレーム13SSは、それぞれの延在方向についての端部同士を連結することで、枠状のフレーム13を構成している。この長辺側分割フレーム13SL及び短辺側分割フレーム13SSの連結部位(フレーム13の継ぎ目)である各端部は、図8に示すように、平面に視てX軸方向及びY軸方向の双方に対して傾斜状をなしており、詳しくはパネル押さえ部13aの各角部における内端位置と外端位置とを結んだ直線に倣う形状とされている。なお、長辺側分割フレーム13SLは、液晶パネル11、光学部材15及び導光板16に加えて各LEDユニットLUを覆うため(図4を参照)、LEDユニットLUを覆うことがない短辺側分割フレーム13SS(図5を参照)に比べて相対的に幅広に形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 8, the frame-shaped frame 13 having the basic configuration described above is formed by assembling four divided frames 13S divided for each side (each long side portion and each short side portion). Is done. Specifically, the divided frame 13S includes a pair of long side divided frames 13SL constituting the long side portions of the frame 13 (panel pressing portion 13a and side wall portion 13b) and a pair of short sides constituting the short side portions. The side-side divided frame 13SS is used. The long side divided frame 13SL is made of a prismatic material having a substantially L-shaped cross section extending along the X axis direction, whereas the short side divided frame 13SS is substantially cross sectional extending along the Y axis direction. Made of L-shaped prismatic material. As a result, when manufacturing each divided frame 13S, it is possible to employ a manufacturing method such as extrusion molding of a metal material. For example, the frame-like frame 13 is temporarily manufactured by a manufacturing method such as cutting out of the metal material. Compared with the case of manufacturing, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Adjacent long-side divided frames 13SL and short-side divided frames 13SS constitute a frame-like frame 13 by connecting ends in their extending directions. As shown in FIG. 8, each end portion, which is a connecting portion of the long side divided frame 13SL and the short side divided frame 13SS (the joint of the frame 13), is both in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction when viewed in plan. In detail, it is shaped to follow a straight line connecting the inner end position and the outer end position at each corner of the panel pressing portion 13a. The long side divided frame 13SL covers each LED unit LU in addition to the liquid crystal panel 11, the optical member 15, and the light guide plate 16 (see FIG. 4), and thus the short side divided that does not cover the LED unit LU. Compared to the frame 13SS (see FIG. 5), it is formed relatively wide.
 フレーム13のパネル押さえ部13aにおける側壁部13bよりも内寄り(導光板16寄り)の位置には、図4乃至図7に示すように、シャーシ14側に柱状に突出するとともにネジ部材SMが取り付けられる突出部21が一体形成されている。突出部21は、パネル押さえ部13aの内面からZ軸方向に沿って裏側に向けて突出するとともに、パネル押さえ部13aの各辺(X軸方向またはY軸方向)に沿って延在する横長な略ブロック状をなしている。突出部21には、図4及び図5に示すように、裏側に向けて開口するとともにネジ部材SMを締め付けることが可能な溝部21aが形成されている。長辺側の一対の突出部21とLED取付部19aとの間には、図4に示すように、所定の間隔が設けられている。そして、一対の放熱部材19のうち、フレキシブル基板26と平面に視て重畳する位置関係にある放熱部材19と、その放熱部材19が取り付けられる突出部21との間には、図4に示すように、プリント基板27を収容可能な基板収容空間BSとされている。プリント基板27には、その長辺方向に沿って複数のフレキシブル基板26が間欠的に並んで配されるとともにその他方側の端部がそれぞれ接続されている。このプリント基板27は、FPCの一端側が差し込まれて接続されるコネクタ部(FPC共々図示せず)を有しており、このFPCの他端側がシャーシ14に形成されたFPC挿通孔(図示せず)を通してシャーシ14の裏側外部に引き出されるとともにコントロール基板CTBに接続されている。 As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, a screw member SM is attached to the panel pressing portion 13a of the frame 13 at a position closer to the inner side (closer to the light guide plate 16) than the side wall portion 13b. The protruding portion 21 is integrally formed. The protruding portion 21 protrudes from the inner surface of the panel pressing portion 13a toward the back side along the Z-axis direction, and extends horizontally along each side (X-axis direction or Y-axis direction) of the panel pressing portion 13a. It is almost block-shaped. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the protruding portion 21 is formed with a groove portion 21 a that opens toward the back side and can tighten the screw member SM. As shown in FIG. 4, a predetermined interval is provided between the pair of protrusions 21 on the long side and the LED attachment portion 19 a. As shown in FIG. 4, between the pair of heat radiating members 19, the heat radiating member 19 in a positional relationship overlapping with the flexible substrate 26 in a plan view, and the protruding portion 21 to which the heat radiating member 19 is attached. In addition, a board accommodation space BS that can accommodate the printed circuit board 27 is provided. A plurality of flexible boards 26 are intermittently arranged along the long side direction of the printed board 27, and the other end portions are connected to the printed board 27, respectively. The printed circuit board 27 has a connector portion (not shown) connected to one end side of the FPC (not shown), and an FPC insertion hole (not shown) formed in the chassis 14 at the other end side of the FPC. ) Through the outside of the chassis 14 and connected to the control board CTB.
 パネル押さえ部13aのうち、突出部21よりも内寄りの位置には、図4及び図5に示すように、導光板16を表側(表示面11c側)から支持する当接リブ23が一体形成されている。当接リブ23は、パネル押さえ部13aの内面からZ軸方向(突出部21の突出方向)に沿って裏側(導光板16側)に向けてそれぞれ突出するとともに、パネル押さえ部13aの各辺に沿って延在する細長い略ブロック状をなしている。当接リブ23は、パネル押さえ部13aにおける各辺にそれぞれ設けられるとともにそれぞれが各辺の全長にわたる長さ寸法を有している。当接リブ23は、図9に示すように、上記した突出部21と同様に、フレーム13を構成する各分割フレーム13Sにそれぞれ分割して設けられており、各分割フレーム13Sが組み付けられると、全体としてパネル押さえ部13a(導光板16)の全周にわたって配される枠状をなすものとされる。当接リブ23は、図4及び図5に示すように、導光板16のうち液晶パネル11よりも外側に突き出した端側部分16EPと平面に視て(表示面11c側から視て)重畳する配置とされており、その突出先端面が導光板16の端側部分16EPにおける表側の面、つまり光出射面16aに対して当接されている。従って、当接リブ23は、後述するシャーシ14との間で導光板16を挟み込んだ状態で表側(表示面11c側)から支持することが可能とされ、導光板支持機能を有している。導光板16は、その端側部分16EPが全周にわたって枠状をなす当接リブ23によって表側から押さえられることになる。 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a contact rib 23 that supports the light guide plate 16 from the front side (display surface 11 c side) is integrally formed at a position inward of the projection 21 in the panel pressing portion 13 a. Has been. The abutment rib 23 protrudes from the inner surface of the panel pressing portion 13a toward the back side (light guide plate 16 side) along the Z-axis direction (the protruding direction of the protruding portion 21), and on each side of the panel pressing portion 13a. It is in the form of an elongated, substantially block that extends along. The abutting ribs 23 are provided on the respective sides of the panel pressing portion 13a and each has a length dimension over the entire length of each side. As shown in FIG. 9, the abutment rib 23 is divided and provided in each divided frame 13 </ b> S constituting the frame 13, as in the above-described protruding portion 21, and when each divided frame 13 </ b> S is assembled, As a whole, a frame shape is provided over the entire circumference of the panel pressing portion 13a (light guide plate 16). As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the contact rib 23 overlaps with the end side portion 16EP of the light guide plate 16 protruding outward from the liquid crystal panel 11 in a plan view (viewed from the display surface 11c side). The protruding front end surface is in contact with the front side surface of the end portion 16EP of the light guide plate 16, that is, the light emitting surface 16a.

 続いて本実施形態の要部である切り欠き16s、及び位置決め部材30の構成について説明する。本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置10では、図3及び図5に示すように、導光板16の短辺方向における両端部において、その端面であって短辺方向の中央部に、導光板16の厚み方向(Z軸方向)に沿って当該導光板16の板面を貫通するとともに当該導光板16の外側に向かって凹状に開口する切り欠き16sがそれぞれ設けられている。また、反射シート20における各切り欠き16sと平面に視て重畳する部位にもその厚み方向(Z軸方向)に貫通する反射シート側切り欠きがそれぞれ設けられている。 Then, the structure of the notch 16s and the positioning member 30 which are the principal parts of this embodiment is demonstrated. In the liquid crystal display device 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, at both end portions in the short side direction of the light guide plate 16, the end surfaces of the light guide plate 16 are at the end surfaces and in the center portion in the short side direction. Notches 16 s that penetrate the plate surface of the light guide plate 16 along the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) and open in a concave shape toward the outside of the light guide plate 16 are provided. In addition, a reflection sheet side cutout penetrating in the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) is also provided at a portion of the reflection sheet 20 that overlaps each cutout 16s in a plan view.
 一方、フレーム13の突出部21における内側の面(導光板16の端面と向かい合う側の面)21aには、図5及び図6に示すように、断面視矩形状をなす位置決め部材30が取り付けられている。位置決め部材30は断面視矩形状をなすようなブロック状、詳しくは液晶表示装置10の表側と裏側に向かって開口する略角筒型の略箱型状とされており、切り欠き16sとの間にわずかな隙間が設けられた状態で当該切り欠き16s内に収容されている。このため、位置決め部材30は、切り欠き16s内に収容された状態で導光板16と嵌合されている。このように位置決め部材30が導光板16と嵌合されることによって、フレーム13とシャーシ14の間において、導光板16がその板面方向(X-Y平面方向)に位置決めされている。 On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a positioning member 30 having a rectangular shape in cross section is attached to the inner surface (surface facing the end surface of the light guide plate 16) 21 a of the protruding portion 21 of the frame 13. ing. The positioning member 30 is in the form of a block having a rectangular shape in cross-section, and more specifically in the shape of a substantially rectangular tube that is open toward the front side and the back side of the liquid crystal display device 10, and between the notches 16s. Is accommodated in the notch 16s with a slight gap. For this reason, the positioning member 30 is fitted to the light guide plate 16 in a state of being accommodated in the notch 16s. As the positioning member 30 is fitted to the light guide plate 16 in this way, the light guide plate 16 is positioned in the plate surface direction (XY plane direction) between the frame 13 and the chassis 14.
 位置決め部材30の構成について詳しく説明する。略角筒型の略箱型状をなす位置決め部材30は、金属製とされるとともに、中空とされている。ここで、位置決め部材30の各面のうち、導光板16側(内側)に向けられた面を第1面30aと称し、フレーム13側(外側)に向けられた面を第2面30bと称することとする。位置決め部材30は、切り欠き16sの側面と対向する各面(第1面30a及び両側面)が当該切り欠き16sの側面と平行とされた状態で、切り欠き16s内に収容されている(図8参照)。位置決め部材30は、その第2面30bがフレーム13の突出部21における内側の面21aにビス留めされることによりフレーム13に固定されている。具体的には、位置決め部材30は、導光板16の厚み方向(Z軸方向)と直交する方向(本実施形態ではX軸方向)を回転軸方向としてビス留めされている(図10参照)。 The configuration of the positioning member 30 will be described in detail. The positioning member 30 having a substantially rectangular tube shape and a substantially box shape is made of metal and is hollow. Here, among the surfaces of the positioning member 30, the surface directed to the light guide plate 16 side (inner side) is referred to as a first surface 30a, and the surface directed to the frame 13 side (outer side) is referred to as a second surface 30b. I will do it. The positioning member 30 is accommodated in the notch 16s in a state where each surface (the first surface 30a and both side surfaces) facing the side surface of the notch 16s is parallel to the side surface of the notch 16s (see FIG. 8). The positioning member 30 is fixed to the frame 13 by screwing the second surface 30 b to the inner surface 21 a of the protruding portion 21 of the frame 13. Specifically, the positioning member 30 is screwed with the direction (X-axis direction in this embodiment) orthogonal to the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the light guide plate 16 (see FIG. 10).
 図10に示すように、位置決め部材30の第1面30aには円形のビス留め用開口30sが設けられている。液晶表示装置10の製造工程の製造工程では、フレーム13の突出部21に位置決め部材30を取り付けた後に、導光板16を位置決めしてフレーム13内に収容する。本実施形態では、位置決め部材30にこのようなビス留め用開口30sが設けられていることで、液晶表示装置10の製造工程において位置決め部材30を突出部21に対してビス留めをする際に、このビス留め用開口30にビス31を挿通させることができるので、ビス留めをし易いものとなっている。 As shown in FIG. 10, the first surface 30a of the positioning member 30 is provided with a circular screwing opening 30s. In the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display device 10, after the positioning member 30 is attached to the protruding portion 21 of the frame 13, the light guide plate 16 is positioned and accommodated in the frame 13. In the present embodiment, the positioning member 30 is provided with such a screwing opening 30s, so that when the positioning member 30 is screwed to the protruding portion 21 in the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display device 10, Since the screw 31 can be inserted through the opening 30 for screwing, it is easy to screw.
 図9に示すように、位置決め部材30の裏側に向かって開口する部位(図9におけるZ軸方向上側)には、導光板16の板面に対して傾斜する方向に板状に延びるとともに、互いに対向状に配された一対の傾斜部30c,30cが設けられている。このような一対の傾斜部30c,30cが設けられていることにより、導光板16の切り欠き16sから漏れて位置決め部材30内に入ってきた光は、傾斜部30cに反射されることによって位置決め部材30内で反射を繰り返すこととなる(図9参照)。このため、当該光が液晶パネル11側へと向かうことを傾斜部30cによって防止ないし抑制できるものとなっている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the portion opening toward the back side of the positioning member 30 (upper side in the Z-axis direction in FIG. 9) extends in a plate shape in a direction inclined with respect to the plate surface of the light guide plate 16, and A pair of inclined portions 30c, 30c arranged in an opposing manner is provided. By providing such a pair of inclined portions 30c, 30c, the light leaking from the notch 16s of the light guide plate 16 and entering the positioning member 30 is reflected by the inclined portion 30c, thereby positioning member. The reflection is repeated within 30 (see FIG. 9). For this reason, it can prevent thru | or suppress that the said light which goes to the liquid crystal panel 11 side by the inclination part 30c.
 さて、上記のように液晶表示装置10は、その製造工程において、位置決め部材30がフレーム13の突出部23に対して導光板16の厚み方向(Z軸方向)と直交する方向(本実施形態ではX軸方向)を回転軸方向としてビス留めされ、その後、位置決め部材30と導光板16の切り欠き16sとが嵌合されるように導光板16を位置決めし、フレーム13内に導光板16が収容される。このため、ビス締め不良等により導光板16の収容後に位置決め部材30が回転した場合であっても、位置決め部材30はビスの軸周りに回転するので、位置決め部材30が導光板16の切り欠き16sの側面と当接したとしても、位置決め部材30に押されることによって導光板16がその板面方向(X-Y平面方向)に回転することがない。この結果、製造工程における導光板16の位置ずれが防止される。 As described above, in the liquid crystal display device 10, in the manufacturing process, the positioning member 30 is perpendicular to the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the light guide plate 16 with respect to the protruding portion 23 of the frame 13 (in this embodiment). The light guide plate 16 is positioned so that the positioning member 30 and the notch 16 s of the light guide plate 16 are fitted, and the light guide plate 16 is accommodated in the frame 13. Is done. For this reason, even if the positioning member 30 rotates after the light guide plate 16 is accommodated due to poor screwing or the like, the positioning member 30 rotates around the screw axis, so the positioning member 30 is notched 16s in the light guide plate 16. Even if the light guide plate 16 abuts on the side surface of the light guide plate 16, the light guide plate 16 is not rotated in the plate surface direction (XY plane direction) by being pushed by the positioning member 30. As a result, misalignment of the light guide plate 16 in the manufacturing process is prevented.
 以上のように本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置10では、位置決め部材30が切り欠き16s内に収容されて嵌合されることで、シャーシ14と導光板16とが嵌合されるため、導光板16が位置決めされた構成を実現することができる。そして、位置決め部材30を留めるためのビス31の回転軸方向が導光板16の厚み方向(Z軸方向)と直交しているから、液晶表示装置10の製造工程において、導光板16を位置決めした後、位置決め部材30をビス留めする際に、位置決め部材30がその回転軸周りに回転して導光板16の切り欠き部位と当接したとしても、位置決め部材30は導光板16の厚み方向(Z軸方向)を軸とした回転方向には回転しないため、導光板16がその厚み方向(Z軸方向)を軸とした回転方向に回転することを防止することができる。このため、エッジライト型のバックライト装置12を備える液晶表示装置10において導光板16が位置決めされる構成を実現しながら、その製造工程において、導光板16がその板面方向(X-Y平面方向)に沿って位置ずれすることを防止することができる。 As described above, in the liquid crystal display device 10 according to the present embodiment, since the positioning member 30 is accommodated in the notch 16s and fitted, the chassis 14 and the light guide plate 16 are fitted. A configuration in which 16 is positioned can be realized. Since the rotation axis direction of the screw 31 for fastening the positioning member 30 is orthogonal to the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the light guide plate 16, after positioning the light guide plate 16 in the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display device 10. When the positioning member 30 is screwed, even if the positioning member 30 rotates around its rotation axis and comes into contact with the notch portion of the light guide plate 16, the positioning member 30 does not move in the thickness direction of the light guide plate 16 (Z-axis). Therefore, the light guide plate 16 can be prevented from rotating in the rotation direction about the thickness direction (Z-axis direction). Therefore, while realizing a configuration in which the light guide plate 16 is positioned in the liquid crystal display device 10 including the edge light type backlight device 12, in the manufacturing process, the light guide plate 16 is in the plate surface direction (XY plane direction). ) Can be prevented from being displaced along.
 また。フレーム13は、上述したように押し出し成形された4つの分割フレーム13Sを組み合わせることにより製造されるため、導光板16の厚み方向(Z軸方向)に沿った方向を回転軸方向として位置決め部材30をビス留めする場合、位置決め部材30の一部を収容してビス留めするための凹部を分割フレーム13Sの一部に切削加工等で形成する必要がある。これに対し、本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置10では、導光板16の厚み方向(Z軸方向)と直交する方向に沿った方向を回転軸方向として位置決め部材30をビス留めするため、分割フレーム13Sの一部に切削加工等によって凹部等を設けなくとも、その側面側に位置決め部材30を直接ビス留めすることができる。このため、液晶表示装置10の製造工程を簡略化することできる。 Also. Since the frame 13 is manufactured by combining the four divided frames 13S formed by extrusion as described above, the positioning member 30 is formed with the direction along the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the light guide plate 16 as the rotation axis direction. In the case of screwing, it is necessary to form a recess for accommodating a part of the positioning member 30 and screwing in a part of the divided frame 13S by cutting or the like. On the other hand, in the liquid crystal display device 10 according to the present embodiment, the positioning member 30 is screwed with the direction along the direction orthogonal to the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the light guide plate 16 as the rotation axis direction. The positioning member 30 can be screwed directly to the side surface without providing a recess or the like in a part of 13S by cutting or the like. For this reason, the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display device 10 can be simplified.
 また、本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置10では、位置決め部材30が、導光板16の板面に対して傾斜する方向に板状に延びるとともに、対向状に配された一対の傾斜部30c,30cを有している。これにより、導光板16の端面から位置決め部材30内に漏れてきた光が、一対の傾斜部30c,30cによって反射され位置決め部材30内で反射されるので、当該光が位置決め部材30内から出て行くことを防止ないし抑制することができる。このため、導光板16の端面から位置決め部材30内に漏れてきた光が液晶パネル11側に向かうことを傾斜部30cによって防止ないし抑制することができる。 In the liquid crystal display device 10 according to the present embodiment, the positioning member 30 extends in a plate shape in a direction inclined with respect to the plate surface of the light guide plate 16, and a pair of inclined portions 30c and 30c arranged in an opposing manner. have. Thereby, the light leaking into the positioning member 30 from the end face of the light guide plate 16 is reflected by the pair of inclined portions 30c and 30c and reflected in the positioning member 30, so that the light exits from the positioning member 30. You can prevent or suppress going. For this reason, it is possible to prevent or suppress the light leaking into the positioning member 30 from the end surface of the light guide plate 16 toward the liquid crystal panel 11 side by the inclined portion 30c.
 また、本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置10では、位置決め部材がブロック状をなしている。このため、断面視矩形状をなす切り欠き16s内に位置決め部材30を収容させ易いものとすることができるとともに、位置決め部材30によって好適に導光板16を位置決めすることができる。 Further, in the liquid crystal display device 10 according to the present embodiment, the positioning member has a block shape. For this reason, the positioning member 30 can be easily accommodated in the notch 16 s having a rectangular shape in cross section, and the light guide plate 16 can be suitably positioned by the positioning member 30.
 また、本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置10では、突出部が柱状をなしている。このため、ブロック状をなす位置決め部材30の一面を突出部21に取り付け易いものとすることができる。 Further, in the liquid crystal display device 10 according to the present embodiment, the protruding portion has a columnar shape. For this reason, one surface of the positioning member 30 having a block shape can be easily attached to the protruding portion 21.
 また、本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置10では、フレーム13が、導光板16側に柱状に突出するとともにその先端面が導光板16の光出射面16aと当接する当接リブ23を有している。このため、当接リブ23によって導光板16を表側から押さえつけることで導光板16が支持される構成を実現することができる。 Further, in the liquid crystal display device 10 according to the present embodiment, the frame 13 has a contact rib 23 that protrudes in a columnar shape toward the light guide plate 16 side and whose front end surface contacts the light emitting surface 16 a of the light guide plate 16. Yes. For this reason, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the light guide plate 16 is supported by pressing the light guide plate 16 from the front side with the contact ribs 23.

By providing such a plate-like portion 130d, the positioning member 130 is forced in the rotational direction (the rotational direction of the screw 131) with the direction orthogonal to the thickness direction (Z-axis direction) of the light guide plate 116 as the rotational axis. Even when the plate member 130d is added, since the plate-like portion 130d is in contact with the light guide plate 130, the positioning member 130 can be prevented from rotating in the rotation direction. Furthermore, light that leaks from the chassis side and travels toward the liquid crystal panel in the vicinity of the notch 116s of the light guide plate 116 can be blocked by the plate-like portion 130d.
