Description

内照式照明装置Internal illumination system
 本発明は、複数の面状発光パネルを用いた内照式照明装置の構造に関する。 The present invention relates to the structure of an internally illuminated lighting device using a plurality of planar light emitting panels.
 近年、有機EL(Organic Electroluminescence)等を利用した面状発光の照明装置が提案されている。この照明装置を大型化しようとした場合、面状発光パネル(面状発光素子)を構成する基板を大型化することで対応できる。 Recently, a planar light emitting lighting device using organic EL (Organic Electroluminescence) has been proposed. When it is going to enlarge this illuminating device, it can respond by enlarging the board | substrate which comprises a planar light emission panel (planar light emitting element).
 しかし、製造装置の大型化、製造における歩留まりの悪化等の問題が発生する。製造が容易な大きさの面状発光パネルを複数平面状に並べることによって、大型化の照明装置を得る技術が、特開2005-266285号公報(特許文献1)に提案されている。 However, problems such as an increase in the size of manufacturing equipment and deterioration in manufacturing yield occur. Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-266285 (Patent Document 1) proposes a technique for obtaining a large-sized lighting device by arranging a plurality of planar light emitting panels that are easy to manufacture in a plane.
 面状発光パネルを複数並べた(タイリングした)照明装置等の場合には、設置場所の制約およびメンテナンスの容易さから、照明装置の前面から面状発光パネルの取り付けが可能である構成が望まれる。 In the case of a lighting device or the like in which a plurality of planar light emitting panels are arranged (tiled), a configuration in which the planar light emitting panel can be attached from the front surface of the lighting device is desirable because of restrictions on installation location and ease of maintenance. It is.
 さらに、意匠上および建築上の理由から、照明装置の厚さを抑えたい場合があり、厚みを抑えることができる照明装置が、特開2012-124159号公報(特許文献2)に提案されている。 Furthermore, there is a case where it is desired to suppress the thickness of the lighting device for design and architectural reasons, and a lighting device capable of suppressing the thickness is proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-124159 (Patent Document 2). .
 しかしながら、特許文献1に開示される照明装置では、複数配置した面状発光パネルと面状発光パネルとの間の隙間領域に生じる非発光領域と面状発光パネルの発光領域との間で輝度差(輝度ムラ)が発生する。その結果、均一な面状発光を有する照明装置を提供することが困難となる。 However, in the lighting device disclosed in Patent Document 1, a luminance difference is generated between a non-light-emitting region and a light-emitting region of the planar light-emitting panel that are generated in a gap region between the plurality of planar light-emitting panels and the planar light-emitting panel. (Brightness unevenness) occurs. As a result, it is difficult to provide a lighting device having uniform planar light emission.
 面状発光パネルと面状発光パネルとの間の隙間領域における非発光領域に反射材を配置して、発光領域と非発光領域との間の輝度差(輝度ムラ)を解消する構成が、特開2010-033818号公報に提案されている(特許文献3)。 A configuration in which a reflective material is disposed in a non-light emitting area in a gap area between the planar light emitting panel and the planar light emitting panel to eliminate a luminance difference (brightness unevenness) between the light emitting area and the non-light emitting area. This is proposed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2010-033818 (Patent Document 3).

 しかし、特許文献2に開示される構成では、照明装置の厚みを抑制することができても、面状発光パネルを保持する部材が発光パネルの背面側に位置しているため、照明装置の薄型化には制約があり十分な薄型化が困難である。 However, in the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 2, even if the thickness of the lighting device can be suppressed, the member that holds the planar light-emitting panel is located on the back side of the light-emitting panel. It is difficult to reduce the thickness sufficiently due to restrictions.
 さらに、面状発光パネルを複数配置した場合の面状発光パネルと面状発光パネルとの間の隙間領域(非発光部)の輝度低下について考慮されていない。その結果、照明装置全体として輝度差(輝度ムラ)が発生する。 Furthermore, a reduction in luminance in a gap region (non-light emitting portion) between the planar light emitting panel and the planar light emitting panel when a plurality of planar light emitting panels are arranged is not considered. As a result, a luminance difference (luminance unevenness) occurs in the entire lighting device.
 特許文献3に開示される構成では、反射材などの光学部材は、面状発光パネルに直接接着されている。光学部材を面状発光パネルに直接接着する構成の場合、面状発光パネルの故障などの時に面状発光パネル単体、または、面状発光パネルを複数枚個組み合わせた面状発光パネルモジュールの交換が難しい。 In the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 3, an optical member such as a reflective material is directly bonded to the planar light emitting panel. In the case where the optical member is directly bonded to the planar light emitting panel, the planar light emitting panel alone or a planar light emitting panel module that combines multiple planar light emitting panels can be replaced in the event of a failure of the planar light emitting panel. difficult.
 この発明は上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、輝度ムラの発生を抑制しながら装置の薄型化を図ることを可能とする内照式照明装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an internal illumination device that can reduce the thickness of the device while suppressing the occurrence of uneven brightness.

An illumination panel that is disposed at a position facing the plurality of planar light emitting units and receives light emitted from the planar light emitting unit; and a light that is disposed in the gap region and is irradiated from the planar light emitting unit. An optical member that reflects toward the lighting panel.

The first optical member 200 has a cross-shaped base member 201 in plan view. At the four ends of the base member 201, there are positions corresponding to the positioning pins 54i, 54k, 54m, 54p provided on the module panel 54 and the fixing holes 54j, 54l, 54n, 54q, respectively. A positioning hole 201a and a fixing hole 201b are formed. Positioning pins 54i, 54k, 54m, 54p provided on the module panel 54 are fitted into the positioning holes 201a, so that the first optical member 200 can be positioned. After the positioning, the base member 201 can be fixed to the gap region 54s of the module panel 54 from the light emitting surface side by using bolts from the light emitting surface side using the fixing holes 201b.
 第1光学部材200は、断面形状が照明パネル60側に頂部が位置する略台形形状を有する反射部材210を有する。反射部材210には、ビス穴210aが設けられている。ベース部材201には、反射部材210を支持する立壁部202が設けられ、この立壁部202には、反射部材210のビス穴210aに対応する位置に固定用雌ねじ穴202aが設けられている。ベース部材201をモジュールパネル54に固定した後、ビス230を用いて、反射部材210をベース部材201に発光面側から固定することができる。 The first optical member 200 includes a reflecting member 210 having a substantially trapezoidal shape in which the top portion is located on the illumination panel 60 side.

The base member 201 is provided with a standing wall portion 202 that supports the reflecting member 210, and the standing wall portion 202 is provided with a fixing female screw hole 202 a at a position corresponding to the screw hole 210 a of the reflecting member 210. After fixing the base member 201 to the module panel 54, the reflection member 210 can be fixed to the base member 201 from the light emitting surface side using the screws 230.
 第1光学部材200の斜面の傾斜角度(反射面同士の間に形成される内角)は、たとえば45°である。この頂角の値は、30°~90°の間で適宜変更してもよい。 The inclination angle of the slope of the first optical member 200 (inner angle formed between the reflecting surfaces) is, for example, 45 °. The value of the apex angle may be appropriately changed between 30 ° and 90 °.
 第1光学部材200を用いることで、非発光部(隙間領域54S)の輝度低下を抑え均一な発光を実現する。さらに、第1光学部材200を隙間領域54Sに配置することで、面状発光パネル10の隙間領域を広く配置しても均一な発光が可能となるので、照明装置に使用する面状発光パネル10の枚数を抑制することができる。その結果、照明装置のコストを抑えることができる。また、第1光学部材200のベース部材の固定用穴201bを用いて第1光学部材200を隙間領域54sに固定するため、固定箇所が反射部材210で覆われ、発光面側から見えることはない。また面状発光パネル10から照射された光が第1光学部材200を固定するための部材によって遮られることがないように配置することが望ましい。 By using the first optical member 200, the luminance reduction of the non-light emitting portion (gap region 54S) is suppressed and uniform light emission is realized. Furthermore, by disposing the first optical member 200 in the gap region 54S, even light emission can be performed even if the gap region of the planar light emitting panel 10 is widely arranged. Therefore, the planar light emitting panel 10 used in the lighting device. The number of sheets can be suppressed. As a result, the cost of the lighting device can be suppressed. In addition, since the first optical member 200 is fixed to the gap region 54s using the fixing hole 201b of the base member of the first optical member 200, the fixing portion is covered with the reflecting member 210 and is not visible from the light emitting surface side. . In addition, it is desirable that the light emitted from the planar light emitting panel 10 is arranged so as not to be blocked by a member for fixing the first optical member 200.

Then, the third optical member 500 is slid in the small diameter direction of the saddle hole 76a. As a result, the small diameter portions of the saddle holes 76a and 77a engage with the groove portion of the grooved pin 510. Thereby, the third optical member 500 is fixed to the side bracket 76 and the lower bracket 77 of the planar light emitting unit 130. Thereafter, the lighting panel 60 is fixed to the light emitting surface side of the housing 600.

As a result, the light emitted from the planar light emitting module is reflected by the reflecting surface of the third optical unit without being blocked by the above support locations, and the occurrence of uneven brightness can be suppressed. In addition, since the member for attaching the planar light emitting unit 130 to the housing is not located on the back side of the planar light emitting unit 130, the lighting device can be thinned. *
 さらに、第3光学部材500を、面状発光ユニット130の溝付きピン510を側部ブラケット76または下部ブラケット77のだるま穴76a,77aへ差し込みスライドするだけで固定できる。また、面状発光ユニット130の筐体600への取付も、発光面側から係合軸75を係合フック603へ係合させ、また側部ブラケット76の固定用穴76bを用いて固定することにより、行なわれる。このように、照明パネル側から第3光学部材500及び面状発光ユニットの着脱が容易であり、第3光学部材500又は面状発光ユニット130のいずれかが故障または消耗した場合、照明パネル側から容易に交換することが可能である。 Further, the third optical member 500 can be fixed simply by inserting and sliding the grooved pin 510 of the planar light emitting unit 130 into the side holes 76 or the round holes 76 a and 77 a of the lower bracket 77. Also, the planar light emitting unit 130 is attached to the housing 600 by engaging the engaging shaft 75 with the engaging hook 603 from the light emitting surface side and fixing it using the fixing hole 76b of the side bracket 76. It is done by. As described above, the third optical member 500 and the planar light emitting unit can be easily attached and detached from the lighting panel side.

 以上のように、本実施の形態による複数の面状発光ユニット130を用いた内照式照明装置1において、輝度ムラの発生を抑制しながら装置の薄型化を図ることを可能とする内照式照明装置1を提供することを可能としている。これにより、内照式照明装置1のデザイン性、機能性を向上させることも可能になる。 As described above, in the internally illuminating device 1 using the plurality of planar light emitting units 130 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the device while suppressing the occurrence of uneven brightness. The lighting device 1 can be provided. Thereby, it becomes possible to improve the designability and functionality of the internal illumination device 1.
 さらに、第3光学部材500は、面状発光ユニット130に対して照明パネル60側から着脱可能に支持されている。面状発光ユニット130も、筐体600に対して照明パネル60側から着脱可能に支持されている。また、第2光学部材300、第1光学部材200も、照明パネル60側から着脱が可能である。これにより、面状発光ユニット130及び光学部材500、300、200の交換作業、および、メンテナンス作業を容易(工数の低減)とする内照式照明装置1を提供することを可能としている。 Furthermore, the third optical member 500 is detachably supported from the illumination panel 60 side with respect to the planar light emitting unit 130. The planar light emitting unit 130 is also detachably supported from the lighting panel 60 side with respect to the housing 600. Moreover, the 2nd optical member 300 and the 1st optical member 200 can also be attached or detached from the illumination panel 60 side. Thereby, it is possible to provide the internally illuminated lighting device 1 that facilitates the replacement work and maintenance work of the planar light emitting unit 130 and the optical members 500, 300, and 200 (reduction of man-hours).
 たとえば、トンネル内の誘導灯、ビルの壁面に用いる内照式照明装置、広告用表示装置の場合、後方からの取り付けが難しいため、前面から着脱できる構造が重要になる。 For example, in the case of guide lights in tunnels, internally-illuminated lighting devices used for building walls, and advertising display devices, it is difficult to attach from the rear, so a structure that can be detached from the front is important.
 (他の実施の形態)
 図15および図16を参照して、他の実施の形態における面状発光モジュール100Aについて説明する。図15は、他の実施の形態における第1光学部材を除く面状発光モジュール100Aの正面図、図16は、図15中XVI-XVI線矢視断面図である。
(Other embodiments)
With reference to FIGS. 15 and 16, a planar light emitting module 100A according to another embodiment will be described. FIG. 15 is a front view of a planar light emitting module 100A excluding the first optical member in another embodiment, and FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XVI-XVI in FIG.
 この面状発光モジュール100Aにおいては、実施の形態1におけるモジュールパネル54に設けられた固定用穴54e,54f,54g,54hに代わり、磁石541e,541f,541g,541hが、モジュールパネル54にあらかじめ埋め込まれている。磁石541e,541f,541g,541hの埋め込み位置は、面状発光パネル10の間の隙間領域54Sに埋め込むことで、面状発光モジュール100の厚さが大きくなることはない。 In this planar light emitting module 100A, magnets 541e, 541f, 541g, 541h are embedded in the module panel 54 in advance instead of the fixing holes 54e, 54f, 54g, 54h provided in the module panel 54 in the first embodiment. It is. By embedding the magnets 541e, 541f, 541g, and 541h in the gap region 54S between the planar light emitting panels 10, the thickness of the planar light emitting module 100 does not increase.
 このように、モジュールパネル54のユニットパネル70への固定位置にあらかじめ磁石を配置しておくことで、発光面側から容易にモジュールパネル54をユニットパネル70に固定することができる。 As described above, the module panel 54 can be easily fixed to the unit panel 70 from the light emitting surface side by arranging the magnet in advance at the position where the module panel 54 is fixed to the unit panel 70.
 上記各実施の形態において、固定用雌ねじ穴を用いた箇所については、固定用雌ねじ穴に代わりボルトを立設し、ナットで固定するようにしてもよい。図15および図16に示したように、ねじを用いて固定する箇所に磁石を配置して磁力に基いて固定する構造を採用することによっても、発光面側から各部品の取り付け、および、交換作業を行なうことができる。 In each of the above embodiments, a bolt may be erected in place of the fixing female screw hole and fixed with a nut for the portion using the fixing female screw hole. As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, each part can be attached and replaced from the light emitting surface side by adopting a structure in which a magnet is arranged at a place to be fixed using a screw and fixed based on a magnetic force. Work can be done.
 上記実施の形態では、面状発光の最小単位を面状発光パネル10とし(図3参照)、次に面状発光パネル10を4枚組み合わせた構成を面状発光モジュール100(面状発光パネル10は4枚)とし、次に、面状発光モジュール100を4枚組み合わせた構成を面状発光ユニット130(面状発光パネル10は16枚)とし、さらに、面状発光ユニット130を4枚組み合わせた構成を内照式照明装置(面状発光パネル10は64枚)と定義しているが、以下のように定義することも可能である。 In the above embodiment, the minimum unit of planar light emission is the planar light emitting panel 10 (see FIG. 3), and then the planar light emitting module 100 (planar light emitting panel 10) is configured by combining four planar light emitting panels 10 next. Next, a configuration in which four planar light emitting modules 100 are combined is a planar light emitting unit 130 (16 planar light emitting panels 10), and four planar light emitting units 130 are combined. Although the configuration is defined as an internally-illuminated lighting device (the number of planar light emitting panels 10 is 64), it can also be defined as follows.
 たとえば、最小単位の面状発光パネル10を面状発光モジュール(面状発光パネル10は1枚)と定義した場合には、この面状発光モジュールを4枚組み合わせた構成が、面状発光ユニットとなり(面状発光パネル10は4枚)、この面状発光ユニットを4枚組み合わせた構成が、内照式照明装置(面状発光パネル10は16枚)となる。 For example, when the planar light emitting panel 10 of the minimum unit is defined as a planar light emitting module (one planar light emitting panel 10), a configuration in which four planar light emitting modules are combined becomes a planar light emitting unit. (The planar light-emitting panel 10 is four sheets), and a configuration in which four planar light-emitting units are combined is an internally illuminated illumination device (16 planar light-emitting panels 10).
 面状発光ユニット130を、面状発光モジュール(面状発光パネル10は16枚)と定義した場合には、この面状発光モジュールを4枚組み合わせた構成が、面状発光ユニットとなり(面状発光パネル10は64枚)、この面状発光ユニットを4枚組み合わせた構成が、内照式照明装置(面状発光パネル10は256枚)となる。 When the planar light-emitting unit 130 is defined as a planar light-emitting module (16 planar light-emitting panels 10), a configuration in which four planar light-emitting modules are combined becomes a planar light-emitting unit (planar light-emitting unit). The panel 10 has 64 sheets), and the configuration in which four of the planar light emitting units are combined is an internally illuminated lighting device (the planar light emitting panel 10 has 256 sheets).
 上記実施の形態では、面状発光モジュール100を4枚組み合わせた構成を面状発光ユニット130とし、この面状発光ユニット130を支持部材としての筺体600に支持する構成を採用しているがこの構成に限定されない。複数の面状発光モジュール100を、ユニットパネル70を用いずに支持部材としての筺体600に直接支持される構成の採用も可能である。ユニットパネル70を支持部材として用い、筺体600を用いない構成の採用も可能である。 In the above embodiment, a configuration in which four planar light emitting modules 100 are combined is referred to as a planar light emitting unit 130, and a configuration in which the planar light emitting unit 130 is supported by a housing 600 as a support member is employed. It is not limited to. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a plurality of planar light emitting modules 100 are directly supported by a housing 600 as a supporting member without using the unit panel 70. It is possible to employ a configuration in which the unit panel 70 is used as a support member and the housing 600 is not used.
 光源として、有機ELパネルに限定されず、平面状の面状発光パネル(光源)を使用することも可能であり、一般的に多く出回っている平面状のリジッドパネル、フレキシブルパネル、複数の面状発光パネルを平面状にモジュール化した発光パネル、または、一般的なフレキシブルパネルにも適用が可能であり、用途に合わせて入手性の良い光源を選択して使用することが可能となる。 The light source is not limited to an organic EL panel, and a planar planar light-emitting panel (light source) can also be used. Generally, a large number of planar rigid panels, flexible panels, and a plurality of planar shapes. The present invention can also be applied to a light-emitting panel obtained by modularizing a light-emitting panel, or a general flexible panel, and a light source having high availability can be selected and used according to the application.
