Abstract
Description
以下では、液晶表示パネルが縦姿勢で配されている場合について説明する。
従来、エッジライト方式のバックライトユニットが提案されている(特許文献1参照)。エッジライト方式のバックライトユニットは、液晶表示パネルの背面側に、光学シート群を介して矩形状の導光板を配置し、導光板の下端面に対向して、光源部を配置してなる。光源部は、左右方向に離隔配置された複数個のLEDがLED基板の一面に実装されてなる。
バックライトユニットが液晶表示パネルを均一に照明すれば、液晶表示パネルの表示領域は均一に明るくなる。
特許文献1には、導光板の熱膨張に起因する各LEDと導光板との離隔距離のバラツキを抑制するための技術事項は記載されていない。
ここで、本明細書では、光源部の中央部/両端部とは、光源部における導光板の周縁方向(以下、単に周縁方向という)の中央部/両端部を意味する。
光源部の発熱に起因する光源部の温度は、光源部の両端部夫々よりも、光源部の中央部の方が高い。このため、導光板の周面における光源部の中央部に対応する部分は熱膨張を起こし易い。故に、導光板の周面における光源部の中央部に対応する部分が熱膨張によって光源部に接近する接近量は最大である。
つまり、照明装置の使用時における導光板の内部への入光量を周縁方向に均一にするために、照明装置の未使用時における光源部と導光板との離隔距離が敢えて周縁方向に不均一にされている。
つまり、導光板の非熱膨張時における導光板の形状を従来のものと異ならせることによって、導光板の内部への入光量を周縁方向に均一にすることができる。
導光板の周縁部の形状を従来のものと異ならせることは、例えば光源部の形状を従来のものと異ならせることによりも簡易である。換言すれば、照明装置は、簡易な構成で、導光板の内部への入光量を周縁方向に均一にすることができる。
図1及び図2は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る表示装置1の構成を模式的に示す縦断面図である。図1及び図2には、後述する導光板22の下辺部近傍が示されている。且つ、図1には導光板22の左端部又は右端部が示されており、図2には導光板22の左右方向中央部が示されている。
図3は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る照明装置としてのバックライトユニット12が備える導光板22及び光源部24の位置関係を模式的に示す正面図である。
まず、表示装置1の構成について説明する。
表示装置1は、表示パネル11、バックライトユニット(照明装置)12、バックライトシャーシ13、及びヒートシンク14、並びに、これらを表示パネル11の正面11aにおける表示領域を露出させた状態で収容する図示しないキャビネット等を備えている。
バックライトシャーシ13は、バックライトユニット12を収容する皿状になしてある。バックライトシャーシ13は、皿の底面に相当する背面部と、皿の周面に相当する図示しない周面部とを有する。バックライトシャーシ13の背面部は、縦姿勢に配された板状をなす。
バックライトユニット12は、光学シート群21、導光板22、反射シート23、及び光源部24を有する。
後述する従来の導光板220とは異なり、導光板22の上下方向の長さ(以下、縦長さという)は一定ではない。具体的には、導光板22の縦長さは、左右方向中心部分における縦長さが最短であり、左右両端部における縦長さが最長である。導光板22の最短の縦長さは、表示パネル11の縦長さ以上の長さである。導光板22の左右方向中央部では、左右方向中心部分から左右両側に向けて、導光板22の縦長さは連続的に長くなる。
つまり、導光板22の下辺部(周縁部)における左右方向中央部は、上向きの凹状になしてある。以下では、導光板22の下辺部における凹状の部分を、凹部221という。凹部221の周縁形状は、なだらかな山状をなす。
また、凹部221の周縁形状は、山状に限定されず、矩形状、半長円状、又は三角形状等でもよい。
反射シート23は、導光板22の背面に密着配置されて、導光板22の背面22bを完全に被覆している。従って、導光板22の背面22bからの漏光は、反射シート23にて反射し、再び導光板22の内部に入射する。
ヒートシンク14の上部には、光源部24が配されている。光源部24は、複数個のLED241,241,…とLED基板242とを備える。
LED基板242は、左右方向に長い横姿勢の矩形平板状になしてある。
以下では、光源部24における導光板22の周縁方向の中央部/両端部を、光源部24の中央部/両端部という。本実施の形態では、光源部24の中央部/両端部は、光源部24の左右方向(光源部24の長手方向)の中央部/左右両端部である。
LED241,241,…が発した熱は、LED基板242を介してヒートシンク14に伝導する。また、LED241,241,…が発した熱は、輻射、対流、又は伝導により、導光板22に伝達される。
光源部24が発した光は、導光板22の下端面22cを透過して導光板22の内部に入射する。
導光板22の内部に入射した光は、導光板22の正面22aから出射する。導光板22から出射した光は、光学シート群21による拡散及び集光等を経て、表示パネル11の背面11bを透過し、表示パネル11の内部に入射する。
図4は、従来のバックライトユニットが備える導光板220及び光源部24の位置関係を模式的に示す正面図である。
従来のバックライトユニットは、バックライトユニット12と略同様の構成である。ただし、従来のバックライトユニットは、導光板22に替えて、矩形状の導光板220を備えている。
導光板220の横長さは、導光板22の横長さに等しい。
導光板220の縦長さは一定である。導光板220の縦長さは、導光板22の上下方向の最短長さよりも長く、最長長さ以下の長さである。
つまり、光源部24から導光板220までの距離が近い(又は遠い)ほど、導光板220の内部へ入射する光の量が多く(又は少なく)なり、導光板220の面発光の輝度が高く(低く)なる。
光源部24の発光時の発熱によって導光板220の下辺部の温度が上昇する。このとき、導光板220の下辺部における左右方向中央部の温度は、導光板220の下辺部における左右両端部夫々の温度よりも高くなる。故に、導光板220の下辺部における左右方向中央部は、導光板220の下辺部における左右両端部夫々よりも熱膨張し易い。
図4には、非熱膨張時の導光板220の形状を実線で示し、熱膨張時の導光板220の形状を二点鎖線で示している。導光板220の下辺部における左右両端部夫々の熱膨張による変形量は、導光板220の下辺部における左右方向中央部の熱膨張による変形量よりも小さいため、図4には示していない。
一方、導光板220の熱膨張時には、導光板220の下辺部は、左右方向中央部にて下向きの凸部を生じる。故に、導光板220の下端面と光源部24との離隔距離は左右方向に不均一になる。具体的には、導光板220の下端面における左右方向中央部と光源部24との離隔距離が、導光板220の下端面における左右両端部夫々と光源部24との離隔距離よりも短くなる。
従って、光源部24から導光板220の内部へ入射する光の量に関し、導光板220の左右方向中央部に係る入光量は、導光板220の左端部(又は右端部)に係る入光量よりも多い。
導光板220の面発光に係る左右方向の不均一さが光学シート群21の拡散機能によって解消されない場合、従来のバックライトユニットによる照明は左右方向に不均一になる。従って、表示パネル11の表示領域の明るさが左右方向に不均一になる。
図1~図3には、非熱膨張時/熱膨張時の導光板22の形状と光源部24から導光板22への入光とを実線/二点鎖線で示している。導光板22の下辺部における左右両端部夫々の熱膨張による変形量は、導光板22の下辺部における左右方向中央部の熱膨張による変形量よりも小さいため、図1~図3には示していない。
一方、導光板22の熱膨張時には、導光板22の下辺部における左右方向中央部の膨張部分が凹部221を補完するかたちで、導光板22の下辺部は左右方向の直線状をなす。故に、導光板22の下端面22cと光源部24との離隔距離は一定になる。
従って、光源部24から導光板22の内部へ入射する光の量に関し、導光板22の左右方向中央部に係る入光量と、導光板22の左端部(又は右端部)に係る入光量とが同程度になる。換言すれば、導光板22の内部への入光量が左右方向に均一になる。
とはいえ、表示装置1が使用開始され、非熱膨張状態の導光板22が光源部24の発熱を受けて完全に膨張し終えるまでの間は、導光板22の下端面22cと光源部24との離隔距離は不均一である。また、熱膨張状態の導光板22は、表示装置1の使用終了後、自然冷却によって収縮する。従って、表示装置1は、長時間連続的に使用される用途、又は、導光板22が大幅に収縮しない程度の時間間隔で断続的に使用される用途等に適している。
しかしながら、このようなLED基板は一般的ではない。しかも、LED基板の配置スペースが上下方向に増大してしまう。従って、本実施の形態のように、導光板22を用いる方が有利である。
また、本実施の形態では、光源部24は、導光板22の下端面22cに対向配置されている。しかしながら、バックライトユニット12は、導光板22の下端面22cに替えて、又は導光板22の下端面22cに対向配置された光源部24と共に、導光板22の上端面に対向配置された光源部24を備えていてもよい。この場合、導光板22の上辺部に、凹部221に相当するものを設ければよい。
図5は、本発明の実施の形態2に係るバックライトユニット12が備える導光板22及び光源部24の位置関係を模式的に示す正面図である。図5は、実施の形態1の図3に対応する。ただし、反射シート23の図示は省略している。
本実施の形態のバックライトユニット12は、実施の形態1のバックライトユニット12と略同様の構成である。以下では、実施の形態1との差異について説明し、その他、実施の形態1に対応する部分には同一符号を付してそれらの説明を省略する。
このために、本実施の形態の導光板22は、実施の形態1の導光板22とは異なり、凹部221を有していない。
従って、非熱膨張時の導光板22の下端面22cと光源部24との離隔距離に関し、導光板22の下端面22cにおける左右方向中央部(即ち凹部223)と光源部24の中央部との離隔距離、及び、導光板22の下端面22cにおける左右両端部(即ち凹部224,224)と光源部24の両端部との離隔距離は、何れも最長である。
図6は、本発明の実施の形態3に係るバックライトユニット12が備える導光板22及び光源部24の位置関係を模式的に示す正面図である。図6は、実施の形態2の図5に対応する。
本実施の形態のバックライトユニット12は、実施の形態2のバックライトユニット12と略同様の構成である。以下では、実施の形態2との差異について説明し、その他、実施の形態2に対応する部分には同一符号を付してそれらの説明を省略する。
実施の形態2の場合、凸部222,222の配置位置は、導光板22の左右両端部から距離{W/9}の位置であるが、本実施の形態の場合、凸部222,222の配置位置は、導光板22の左右両端部から距離{W/4}の位置である。
図7は、本発明の実施の形態4に係るバックライトユニット12が備える導光板22及び光源部24の位置関係を模式的に示す正面図である。図7は、実施の形態1の図3に対応する。ただし、反射シート23の図示は省略している。
本実施の形態のバックライトユニット12は、実施の形態1のバックライトユニット12と略同様の構成である。以下では、実施の形態1との差異について説明し、その他、実施の形態1に対応する部分には同一符号を付してそれらの説明を省略する。
一方、本実施の形態のバックライトユニット12は、導光板22の左右両側方に光源部25,25が配されているサイドエッジライト方式である。
このため、バックライトユニット12は、実施の形態1の光源部24及びヒートシンク14に替えて、光源部25,25及び光源部25,25夫々に係る排熱を担う図示しないヒートシンクを備えている。
また、導光板22は、実施の形態1の導光板22とは異なり、凹部221に替えて、凹部225,225を有している。
LED基板252は、上下方向に長い縦姿勢の矩形状になしてある。LED基板252は、一面を導光板22の側端面(左側端面又は右側端面)に向けて配されている。
LED251,251,…は、LED基板252の一面にて上下方向に一列に等配実装してある。LED251,251,…と導光板22の側端面とは、適長離隔して対向配置されている。
光源部25の温度は上下方向に不均一である。また、光源部25の温度は上下対称である。
光源部25,25が発した光は、導光板22の左右両側端面を透過して導光板22の内部に入射する。
光源部25,25の発光時の発熱に起因する導光板22の熱膨張によって、導光板22の左右両辺部から凹部225,225が失われ、光源部25,25と導光板22の左右両側端面との離隔距離が一定になる。従って、導光板22の内部への入光量が、上下方向に均一になる。
このため、導光板22の面発光が上下方向に均一になる。故に、バックライトユニット12による照明は上下方向に均一になる。従って、表示パネル11の表示領域は上下方向に均一に明るくなる。
なお、バックライトユニット12は、左側(又は右側)の光源部25のみを備えている構成でもよい。この場合、導光板22の右側(又は左側)の凹部225を設ける必要はない。
図8は、本発明の実施の形態5に係るバックライトユニット12が備える導光板22及び光源部24の位置関係を模式的に示す正面図である。図8は、実施の形態1の図3に対応する。
本実施の形態のバックライトユニット12は、実施の形態1のバックライトユニット12と略同様の構成である。以下では、実施の形態1との差異について説明し、その他、実施の形態1に対応する部分には同一符号を付してそれらの説明を省略する。
つまり、本実施の形態においては、導光板22の熱膨張時/非熱膨張時を問わず、光源部24の比較的高温且つ明るい部分から導光板22の下端面22cまでは遠く、光源部24の比較的低温且つ暗い部分から導光板22の下端面22cまでは近い。故に、導光板22の内部への入光量を左右方向に均一にすることができる。
また、本発明の効果がある限りにおいて、表示装置1又はバックライトユニット12に、実施の形態1~5に開示されていない構成要素が含まれていてもよい。
各実施の形態に開示されている構成要件(技術的特徴)はお互いに組み合わせ可能であり、組み合わせによって新しい技術的特徴を形成することができる。
