Abstract
Description
上記した特許文献1は、方形状とされた導光板を前提としたものであり、そのような導光板は、外周端面が互いに直交する2つの辺を有していることから、その板面に沿う方向についての位置決めを図ろうとした場合には、上記2つの辺を位置決めの基準として利用することで高い精度での位置決めを容易に図ることが可能とされる。しかしながら、導光板の外周端面に曲線状の端面が含まれる構成の場合には、当該曲線状の端面を位置決めの基準として利用するのが難しいため、位置決め精度が低くなりがちとなっていた。
本発明の照明装置は、光源と、前記光源からの光に光学作用を付与するためのシート状をなす光学部材であって、外周端面に平面形状が曲線状とされる曲線状端面が少なくとも含まれる光学部材と、前記光学部材をその板面に沿う方向について位置決めするための位置決め部であって、前記光学部材を厚さ方向に貫通する位置決め孔と、前記位置決め孔に通されてその内面に当接する位置決め突部と、からなる位置決め部と、前記位置決め部を中心として前記光学部材が回動するのを規制する回動規制部であって、前記光学部材の前記外周端面をその周方向について部分的に凹ませる形の光学部材側凹部、または前記光学部材の前記外周端面からその周方向について部分的に突出する形の光学部材側凸部と、前記光学部材側凹部または前記光学部材側凸部に当接する当接部と、からなる回動規制部と、を備える。
(1)前記光学部材の前記外周端面には、前記曲線状端面に加えて平面形状が直線状とされる直線状端面が含まれており、前記位置決め部及び前記回動規制部は、前記光学部材のうち、前記直線状端面における延在方向についての中央を通る法線を挟んだ一方側と他方側とにそれぞれ配されている。このようにすれば、仮に位置決め部及び回動規制部が、光学部材のうち、直線状端面における延在方向についての中央を通る法線に対して片側にまとめて配された場合に比べると、位置決め部の中心から回動規制部までの距離が長く確保される。これにより、回動規制部による回動規制を一層高い精度でもって図ることができ、もって光学部材の位置決め精度の低下をより好適に抑制することができる。
(1)前記位置決め突部は、前記位置決め孔に連通する連通孔を有しており、前記表示パネルには、前記位置決め孔及び前記連通孔に連通するとともに厚さ方向に沿って貫通するパネル側貫通孔が設けられている。このようにすれば、表示パネルを厚さ方向に沿って貫通するパネル側貫通孔が、照明装置の光学部材に設けられた位置決め孔及び位置決め突部の連通孔に連通する形で配されているから、例えば当該照明装置に対して表示パネル側とは反対側に配された物体を、表示パネルに対して出光側からパネル側貫通孔、位置決め孔、及び連通孔を通して視認することが可能される。
本発明によれば、光学部材の位置決め精度が低下するのを抑制することができる。

本発明の実施形態9を図14から図16によって説明する。この実施形態9では、上記した実施形態1から光学部材816に加えて液晶パネル811の位置決め及び回動規制を図るようにしたものを示す。なお、上記した実施形態1と同様の構造、作用及び効果について重複する説明は省略する。
本発明の実施形態10を図17または図18によって説明する。この実施形態10では、上記した実施形態1から固定テープに代えて位置決め突部926に係合爪39を設けるようにしたものを示す。なお、上記した実施形態1と同様の構造、作用及び効果について重複する説明は省略する。
本発明の実施形態11を図19によって説明する。この実施形態11では、上記した実施形態9から位置決め突部1026の形状を変更したものを示す。なお、上記した実施形態9と同様の構造、作用及び効果について重複する説明は省略する。

本発明は上記記述及び図面によって説明した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば次のような実施形態も本発明の技術的範囲に含まれる。
(1)上記した各実施形態では、位置決め部の平面形状が円形状とされた場合を示したが、それ以外にも位置決め部の平面形状は適宜に変更可能である。例えば、図24に示すように、位置決め部23-1の平面形状を四角形とすることが可能である。このようにすれば、位置決め部23-1を構成する位置決め突部26-1の外周面の各辺部が、位置決め孔25-1の内周面の各辺部に当接することで、光学部材16-1が回動し難いものとなる。なお、位置決め孔25-1と位置決め突部26-1との間に生じ得るクリアランスに起因して光学部材16-1に回動が生じ得る場合であっても、回動規制部24-1によってその回動が規制されるようになっている。
