This is not for fixing the light guide plate 22 and the reflection sheet 23 to the P chassis 13 and the BL chassis 25. Therefore, the thermal expansion of the light guide plate 22 or the restoration from the thermal expansion is not hindered by such clamping.
- the BL chassis 25 (rear surface portion 251 in this embodiment) is provided with a screw hole 253 having a female screw.
- the screw holes 253 face the concave portions 221 and 231 of the light guide plate 22 and the reflection sheet 23.

- the upper sides of each of the light guide plate 22 and the reflection sheet 23 are fixed to the BL chassis 25. Therefore, the light guide plate 22 is unlikely to thermally expand upward. This is because the inner surface of the concave portion 221 of the light guide plate 22 contacts the leg portion 312 of the screw 31 even if the light guide plate 22 attempts to thermally expand upward.
- the lower peripheral portion (other portion of the peripheral portion) of each of the light guide plate 22 and the reflection sheet 23 is not fixed to the BL chassis 25.
- the lower side and the left and right sides (both sides) of each of the light guide plate 22 and the reflection sheet 23 are not fixed to other members including the BL chassis 25. Therefore, the thermal expansion toward the lower side and the left and right sides of the light guide plate 22 or the recovery from the thermal expansion is easy.

- the light source device 2 may include two light sources instead of the light source 24.
- two light sources may be arranged one by one on both the upper and lower sides of the light guide plate 22.
- one light source (or two light sources) may be arranged on either the left side or the right side of the light guide plate 22 (or one for each).

Also, a manufacturer's logo or product name is written directly below the display area of the display panel 11 at the lower front of the cabinet (not shown). Furthermore, a speaker (not shown) is arranged at the lower part of the cabinet. From the above, the display device 1 has a spatial margin on the lower side rather than the upper side. That is, the design constraint is less if the gap S into which the thermally expanded light guide plate 22 should enter is provided below the light guide plate 22. In other words, the display device 1 in which the gap S is provided below the light guide plate 22 can be easily reduced in size compared to the case where the gap S is provided above the light guide plate 22.
- the light emitted from the light source 24 enters the light guide plate 22 from the lower end surface of the light guide plate 22.
- a part of the light incident on the inside of the light guide plate 22 is reflected by the front surface, the rear surface, or the reflecting portion of the light guide plate 22 and is eventually emitted from the front surface to the optical sheet group 21.
- Another part of the light incident on the inside of the light guide plate 22 exits from the rear surface of the light guide plate 22, is reflected by the reflection sheet 23, and enters the light guide plate 22 again.
- the light emitted to the optical sheet group 21 is incident on the inside of the display panel 11 from the rear surface of the display panel 11 after being diffused and condensed by the optical sheet group 21.
- the display panel 11 is illuminated from the back side by the light source device 2.
- the light incident on the display panel 11 passes through the display panel 11 or is blocked from passing through the display panel 11. As a result, an image is displayed in the display area of the display panel 11.
- the configuration is simple. Moreover, since the head 311 or the buffer part 32 of the screw 31 does not protrude above the upper end surface of the light guide plate 22, the head 311 or the buffer part 32 of the screw 31 is arranged above the light guide plate 22. There is no need to provide unnecessary voids.
- the light guide plate 22 may be sandwiched between the rivet and the BL chassis 25, for example, instead of the screw 31.
- the screw 31 is easier to remove than the rivet, for example, the screw 31 is simpler when disassembling when the display device 1 is recycled.
- the upper side of the light guide plate 22 may be bonded to the BL chassis 25 in place of the screws 31 and the BL chassis 25. In this case, it is not necessary to provide the recess 221 in the light guide plate 22.
- the light guide plate 22 is relatively heavy among the components constituting the display device 1. Therefore, it is not easy to prepare an adhesive or an adhesive member that can adhere and fix the light guide plate 22 to the BL chassis 25 as compared to preparing the screw 31.
- the upper side portion of the light guide plate 22 may be clamped and fixed from above by a clip-shaped clamping member, and the clamping member may be fixed to the BL chassis 25.
- the clamping member since it is necessary to provide a space for disposing the clamping member above the light guide plate 22, it may be difficult to reduce the size of the display device 1 compared to the case of clamping with the screws 31 and the BL chassis 25.
- the concave portion 221 of the light guide plate 22 is not limited to a U shape, and may be a V shape or a U shape.
- the support part which should fix the light-guide plate 22 is not limited to BL chassis 25,
- P chassis 13 support frame part 132 may be sufficient.
- the clamping by the screw 31 and the BL chassis 25 is possible even without the buffer portion 32 interposed.
- the head 311 of the screw 31 directly contacts the front surface of the peripheral surface of the recess 221 of the light guide plate 22. Therefore, if the screw 31 is tightened strongly, a large external force is applied unnecessarily from the head 311 of the screw 31 to the light guide plate 22, and the light guide plate 22 may be damaged or distorted.
- the screw 31 is weakly tightened, the clamping by the screw 31 and the BL chassis 25 (that is, fixing of the light guide plate 22) becomes incomplete, so that the light guide plate 22 may be displaced or dropped. .
- the buffer 31 is interposed between the screws 31 and the BL chassis 25. This is because, even if the screw 31 is tightened strongly, the buffer portion 32 suppresses intensive application of unnecessary external force from the head 311 of the screw 31 to the light guide plate 22. Further, the buffer portion 32 prevents direct contact between the head 311 of the screw 31 and the light guide plate 22.
- the light source device 2 fixes the lower side of the light guide plate 22 to the BL chassis 25.
- the upper side portion may be configured so as not to be fixed.
- the light source device 2 places the left side portion of the light guide plate 22 on the BL chassis 25. It is sufficient that the right side portion is not fixed.

- differences from the first embodiment will be described, and other parts corresponding to those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.
- the light source device 2 of the present embodiment includes a diffuser plate 26, a reflective sheet 27, and a plurality of light sources 28, 28,... Instead of the light guide plate 22, the reflective sheet 23, and the light source 24 of the first embodiment.
- the diffusion plate 26 is a rectangular plate-shaped optical member made of a material that easily expands.
- the front surface of the peripheral portion of the diffusion plate 26 is disposed to face the support frame portion 132 of the P chassis 13 from the back side.
- the center portion in the surface direction of the diffusion plate 26 is disposed to face the display area of the display panel 11 and the center portion in the surface direction of the optical sheet group 21 from the back side through the opening of the rectangular frame in the support frame portion 132 of the P chassis 13.
- a rectangular frame-shaped buffer member 142 is disposed between the front surface of the peripheral edge of the diffusion plate 26 and the support frame 132 of the P chassis 13.
- a through hole 261 having a circular shape when viewed from the front is provided at the center in the left-right direction on the upper side of the diffusion plate 26.
- the inner diameter of the through hole 261 is smaller than the outer diameter of the screw head 311 of the screw 31, larger than the maximum diameter of the leg portion 312, and approximately the same as the inner diameter of the through hole of the buffer portion 32.
- the through hole 261 corresponds to the recess 221 of the light guide plate 22 of the first embodiment.
- the reflection sheet 27 is provided with a through hole 271 having a circular shape when viewed from the front.
- the inner diameter of the through hole 271 is the same as the inner diameter of the through hole 261 of the diffusion plate 26.
- the through hole 271 corresponds to the recess 231 of the reflection sheet 23 of the first embodiment.
- Each light source 28 uses a fluorescent tube arranged in the left-right direction so as to face the back surface of the diffusion plate 26.
- the BL chassis 25 of the present embodiment has a rear surface portion 254 instead of the rear surface portion 251 of the first embodiment.
- the rear surface portion 254 is provided with a concave portion 255 that is recessed toward the rear surface side.
- the light sources 28, 28,... The front surface of the rear surface portion 251 including the inner surface of the recess 255 is covered with the reflection sheet 27.
- the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27 are sandwiched between the rear surface portion 254 and the support frame portion 132 of the P chassis 13 via the buffer member 142. Such clamping does not hinder the thermal expansion of the diffusion plate 26 or the restoration from the thermal expansion.
- a screw hole 253 is provided in the BL chassis 25 (the rear surface portion 254 in the present embodiment). The screw holes 253 face the through holes 261 and 271 of the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27.
- the leg portion 312 of the screw 31 is inserted through the through-holes 261 and 271 of the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27 in this order from the front side while passing through the through-hole of the buffer portion 32, and is further inserted into the screw hole 253 from the front side. Inserted from the side and screwed together. As a result, the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27 are sandwiched between the head 311 and the BL chassis 25 via the buffer portion 32. At this time, the head portion 311 and the buffer portion 32 do not protrude above the upper end surface of the diffusion plate 26.
- the clamping by the screws 31 and the BL chassis 25 is for fixing the upper sides of the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27 to the BL chassis 25.
- the upper sides of the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27 are fixed to the BL chassis 25. Therefore, it is difficult for the diffusion plate 26 to thermally expand toward the upper side. This is because the inner surface of the through hole 261 of the diffusion plate 26 abuts on the leg portion 312 of the screw 31 even if the diffusion plate 26 tries to thermally expand upward.
- each of the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27 are not fixed to other members including the BL chassis 25. Therefore, thermal expansion toward the lower side and the left and right sides of the diffusion plate 26, or restoration from thermal expansion is easy.
- the diffuser plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27 are suspended (suspended) from the BL chassis 25 when the upper sides are sandwiched between the screws 31 and the BL chassis 25. From the above, the diffusion plate 26 is likely to thermally expand mainly toward the lower side. Accordingly, a gap (corresponding to the gap S of the first embodiment) into which the thermally expanded diffusion plate 26 should enter is provided below the diffusion plate 26. Therefore, the display device 1 according to the present embodiment can be easily downsized, similar to the display device 1 according to the first embodiment.

- Light incident on the inside of the diffusion plate 26 is diffused and emitted from the front surface of the diffusion plate 26 to the optical sheet group 21.
- the light emitted to the optical sheet group 21 is incident on the inside of the display panel 11 from the rear surface of the display panel 11 after being diffused and condensed by the optical sheet group 21.
- the display panel 11 is illuminated from the back side by the light source device 2.
- the configuration is simple. Moreover, since the head 311 or the buffer 32 of the screw 31 does not protrude above the upper end surface of the diffusion plate 26, the head 311 or the buffer 32 of the screw 31 is disposed above the diffusion plate 26. There is no need to provide unnecessary voids. In addition, if the legs 312 of the screws 31 are inserted into the through holes 261 and 271 of the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27, the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27 are positioned. When attaching to the chassis 25, the position shift or dropping of the diffusion plate 26 and the reflection sheet 27 is suppressed. That is, the assemblability of the light source device 2 is improved.

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光源装置が提案されている。エッジライト方式の光源装置は、液晶表示パネルの背面側に縦姿勢で配された矩形状の導光板と、導光板の下端面に対向配置された光源とを備える。
光源が発した光は、導光板の下端面から導光板の内部へ入射し、更に、導光板の前面から導光板の正面側へ出射する。この結果、液晶表示パネルは背面側から照明される。
特許文献1に記載されている第1実施形態の導光板の場合、導光板は上下方向中央部が固定されているので、上下両側に向けて熱膨張する。故に、導光板の上方及び下方の両方に、熱膨張した導光板が進入すべき空隙が必要である。
特許文献1に記載されている第2実施形態の導光板の場合、導光板は下部が突起に載置されているので、上側に向けて熱膨張する。故に、導光板の上方に、熱膨張した導光板が進入すべき空隙が必要である。
従って、熱膨張した導光板が進入すべき空隙を導光板の下方に設けた場合、導光板の上方に設けた場合よりも、液晶表示装置の小型化を図ることができる。
故に、光源装置(又は光源装置を備える表示装置)においては、熱膨張した光学部材が進入する空隙が、光学部材の周縁部の他部分周辺に設けてあればよい。換言すれば、熱膨張した光学部材が進入する空隙を、光学部材の周縁部の一部分周辺に設ける必要がない。
図1及び図2は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る光源装置2を備える表示装置1の上部側及び下部側の構成を略示する断面図である。
図3は、光源装置2が備える導光板22の構成を略示する正面図である。
本実施の形態の表示装置1は、例えばテレビジョン受信機、電子看板、又は、パーソナルコンピュータ用のモニタ等として構成されている。
表示装置1は、表示パネル11、ベゼル12、Pシャーシ13、緩衝部材141,142、光源装置2、及び図示しないキャビネット等を備えている。
光源装置2は、光学シート群21、導光板22(光学部材)、反射シート23、光源24、BLシャーシ25(支持部)、ビス31、及び緩衝部32を備えている。
前面部121は矩形枠状であり、矩形枠の開口を通して表示パネル11の表示領域を露出させた状態で、表示パネル11の額縁領域を正面側から覆う。前面部121と表示パネル11の額縁領域との間には、矩形枠状の緩衝部材141が配されている。
側面部122は、前面部121の外周縁部から後ろ向きに突出している。
基部131は、前後方向の矩形筒状であり、ベゼル12の側面部122に外側から覆われている。基部131の前部は、表示パネル11及び光学シート群21夫々の周縁端面を覆う。
導光板22の周縁部の前面とPシャーシ13の支持枠部132との間には、矩形枠状の緩衝部材142が配されている。
導光板22は、導光板22の内部に入射した光が、導光板22の前面から出射するようにしてある。このために、導光板22の後面には、図示しない複数の反射部が設けられている。反射部に入射した光は、前面側へ反射する。
反射シート23の上辺部における左右方向中央部には、正面視U字状の切り欠き状の凹部231が設けられている。凹部231は、導光板22の凹部221に臨む。導光板22及び反射シート23の凹部221,231夫々の正面視の形状は合同である。
側面部252は、Pシャーシ13の基部131の後部に外側から覆われている。側面部252は、導光板22及び反射シート23夫々の周縁端面を覆う。
Pシャーシ13とBLシャーシ25とによる挟持は、導光板22とPシャーシ13の支持枠部132との間、又は導光板22と反射シート23との間に無用な空隙が生じること(延いては、この無用な隙間を通した漏光)を抑制するためのものであり、導光板22及び反射シート23をPシャーシ13及びBLシャーシ25に固定するためのものではない。故に、このような挟持によって、導光板22の熱膨張、又は熱膨張からの復元が阻害されることはない。
頭部311の半径は、導光板22の凹部221に係る左右方向の開口寸法よりも短い。
この結果、頭部311とBLシャーシ25との間に、緩衝部32を介して、導光板22及び反射シート23が挟持される。このとき、頭部311及び緩衝部32が、導光板22の上端面よりも上側に突出することはない。
つまり、導光板22及び反射シート23は、上辺部がビス31及びBLシャーシ25に挟持されることによって、いわばBLシャーシ25から垂下する(吊り下げられる)。
以上のことから導光板22は、主に下側に向けて熱膨張し易い。
光源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状になしてある。LED基板242の上面は、導光板22の下端面に対面配置されている。
LED241,241,…と、まだ熱膨張していない導光板22との間の空隙Sは、熱膨張した導光板22の下辺部(図2に二点鎖線で図示)が進入すべき空隙として機能する。
或いは、1個の光源(又は2個の光源)が、導光板22の左方及び右方の何れか一方(又は両方に1個ずつ)に配されていてもよい。
換言すれば、空隙Sが導光板22の下方に設けてある表示装置1は、空隙Sが導光板22の上方に設けてある場合よりも、容易に小型化することができる。
光源24が発した光は、導光板22の下端面から導光板22の内部に入射する。
導光板22の内部に入射した光の一部は、導光板22の前面、後面、又は反射部にて反射し、やがて前面から光学シート群21へ出射する。導光板22の内部に入射した光の他の一部は、導光板22の後面から出射し、反射シート23に反射して再び導光板22の内部に入射する。
以上のように、表示パネル11は、光源装置2によって背面側から照明される。表示パネル11の内部に入射した光は、表示パネル11を透過するか、又は、表示パネル11の通過を遮断される。この結果、表示パネル11の表示領域に映像が表示される。
しかも、ビス31の頭部311又は緩衝部32が、導光板22の上端面よりも上側に突出することはないので、導光板22の上方に、ビス31の頭部311又は緩衝部32を配すべき無用な空隙を設ける必要がない。
また、導光板22を固定すべき支持部は、BLシャーシ25に限定されず、例えばPシャーシ13(支持枠部132)でもよい。
しかしながら、緩衝部32が存在しない場合、ビス31の頭部311が導光板22の凹部221の周面における前面に直接的に接触する。
従って、ビス31を強く締め付けることによって、ビス31の頭部311から導光板22へ無用に大きな外力が集中的に加わり、導光板22に損傷又は歪み等が生じる虞がある。かといって、ビス31の締め付けが弱いと、ビス31及びBLシャーシ25による挟持(即ち、導光板22の固定)が不完全になるので、導光板22の位置ずれ又は脱落等が生じる虞がある。
更に、導光板22の熱膨張/復元、又は振動等によって、導光板22とビス31の頭部311とが強く当接する虞がある。この場合、導光板22の損傷、更には導光板22の損傷に起因する粉体の発生等が起こり得る。
また、表示装置1において、例えば装置右部に空間的な余裕が比較的多く、装置左部に空間的な余裕が比較的少ない場合、光源装置2は、導光板22の左辺部をBLシャーシ25に固定し、右辺部は固定しない構成であればよい。
図4は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る光源装置2を備える表示装置1の構成を略示する断面図である。
図5は、光源装置2が備える拡散板26の構成を略示する正面図である。
図4及び図5は、実施の形態1の図1及び図3に対応する。
本実施の形態の光源装置2は、実施の形態1の光源装置2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。
拡散板26は熱膨張し易い素材からなる矩形板状の光学部材である。拡散板26の周縁部の前面は、Pシャーシ13の支持枠部132に背面側から対向配置されている。拡散板26の面方向中央部は、Pシャーシ13の支持枠部132における矩形枠の開口を通して、表示パネル11の表示領域、及び光学シート群21の面方向中央部に背面側から対向配置されている。
拡散板26の周縁部の前面とPシャーシ13の支持枠部132との間には、矩形枠状の緩衝部材142が配されている。
各光源28は、拡散板26の背面に対向して左右方向に配された蛍光管を用いてなる。光源28,28,…は上下方向に適長離隔並置してある。
後面部254には、背面側へ凹む凹部255が設けられている。凹部255の内部には、光源28,28,…が収容されている。凹部255の内面を含む後面部251の前面は、反射シート27で覆われている。
後面部254とPシャーシ13の支持枠部132との間には、緩衝部材142を介して、拡散板26及び反射シート27が挟持される。このような挟持によって、拡散板26の熱膨張、又は熱膨張からの復元が阻害されることはない。
BLシャーシ25(本実施の形態では後面部254)には、ネジ穴253が設けられている。ネジ穴253は、拡散板26及び反射シート27の貫通孔261,271に臨む。
この結果、頭部311とBLシャーシ25との間に、緩衝部32を介して、拡散板26及び反射シート27が挟持される。このとき、頭部311及び緩衝部32が、拡散板26の上端面よりも上側に突出することはない。
つまり、拡散板26及び反射シート27は、上辺部がビス31及びBLシャーシ25に挟持されることによって、いわばBLシャーシ25から垂下する(吊り下げられる)。
以上のことから拡散板26は、主に下側に向けて熱膨張し易い。従って、熱膨張した拡散板26が進入すべき空隙(実施の形態1の空隙Sに相当するもの)は、拡散板26の下方に設けてある。
故に、本実施の形態の表示装置1は、実施の形態1の表示装置1と同様に、容易に小型化することができる。
光源28,28,…が発した光は、直接的に、又は反射シート27に反射して、拡散板26の後面をから拡散板26の内部に入射する。拡散板26の内部に入射した光は拡散し、拡散板26の前面から光学シート群21へ出射する。
光学シート群21へ出射した光は、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の後面から表示パネル11の内部に入射する。
以上のように、表示パネル11は、光源装置2によって背面側から照明される。
しかも、ビス31の頭部311又は緩衝部32が、拡散板26の上端面よりも上側に突出することはないので、拡散板26の上方に、ビス31の頭部311又は緩衝部32を配すべき無用な空隙を設ける必要がない。
その上、ビス31の脚部312を拡散板26及び反射シート27の貫通孔261,271に挿入すれば拡散板26及び反射シート27が位置決めされるので、特に拡散板26及び反射シート27をBLシャーシ25に取り付ける際に、拡散板26及び反射シート27の位置ずれ又は脱落が抑制される。即ち、光源装置2の組み立て性が向上する。
また、貫通孔261の前部の内径を緩衝部32の外径よりも大きくすることによって、貫通孔261の内部に段部を設けてもよい。この場合、貫通孔261の段部内面に緩衝部32を接触させる。このとき、貫通孔261の内部に緩衝部32(又は緩衝部32及びビス31の頭部)が収容されてもよい。
図6は、本発明の実施の形態3に係る光源装置2が備える導光板22の構成を略示する正面図である。図6は、実施の形態1の図3に対応する。
本実施の形態の光源装置2は、実施の形態1の光源装置2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。
故に、BLシャーシ25には、導光板22の凹部221,221,…に対応するN個のネジ穴253,253,…が設けられている。
導光板22及び反射シート23夫々の上辺部は、各N個のビス31,31,…及び緩衝部32,32,…を用いて、BLシャーシ25に固定してある。この結果、導光板22及び反射シート23は、BLシャーシ25から垂下する(吊り下げられる)。
従って、熱膨張した導光板22が進入すべき空隙Sは、導光板22の下方に設けてある。
故に、本実施の形態の表示装置1は、実施の形態1の表示装置1と同様に、容易に小型化することができる。
また、導光板22のN個の凹部221,221,…に替えて、N個の貫通孔が設けられていてもよい。
図7は、本発明の実施の形態4に係る光源装置2が備える導光板22の構成を略示する正面図である。図7は、実施の形態1の図3に対応する。
本実施の形態の光源装置2は、実施の形態1の光源装置2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。
各凹部222は、正面視U字状の切り欠き状である。導光板22の上端面からの凹部222の離隔距離は、導光板22の左辺部又は右辺部の長さの1/3以下(好ましくは1/10以下)である。つまり、凹部222,222は、左右両辺部の上部に設けてあり、下辺部、並びに左右両辺部の上下方向中央部及び下部には設けられていない。
同様に、反射シート23の左右両辺部の上部には、導光板22の凹部222,222に対応する各1個の図示しない凹部が設けてある。
故に、BLシャーシ25には、導光板22の凹部222,222に対応する2個のネジ穴253,253が設けられている。
以上のことから導光板22は、主に下側に向けて熱膨張し易い。従って、熱膨張した導光板22が進入すべき空隙Sは、導光板22の下方に設けてある。
故に、本実施の形態の表示装置1は、実施の形態1の表示装置1と同様に、容易に小型化することができる。
しかも、2本のビス31,31の脚部312,312を導光板22の凹部222,222及び反射シート23の2個の凹部に挿入すれば、脚部312,312と凹部222,222及び反射シート23の2個の凹部夫々の内面との係合により、導光板22及び反射シート23が位置決めされる。従って、特に導光板22及び反射シート23をBLシャーシ25に取り付ける際に、導光板22及び反射シート23の位置ずれ又は脱落が抑制される。即ち、光源装置2の組み立て性が向上する。
なお、導光板22の2個の凹部222,222に替えて、2個の貫通孔が設けられていてもよい。
また、本発明の効果がある限りにおいて、表示装置1又は光源装置2に、実施の形態1~4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。
