Description

表示装置Display device
 本発明は、画像を表示する表示装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a display device that displays an image.
 液晶パネルを画像表示部として備える表示装置は、液晶パネルの背面側にバックライトを配し、該バックライトからの照射光を液晶パネルにより変調して透過させ、液晶パネルの正面に画像を表示するように構成されている。バックライトは、直下型とエッジライト型とに大別されるが、近年においては、消費電力の低減及び薄型化の観点からエッジライト型のバックライトが広く採用されている。 A display device including a liquid crystal panel as an image display unit includes a backlight on the back side of the liquid crystal panel, modulates and transmits the light emitted from the backlight by the liquid crystal panel, and displays an image on the front of the liquid crystal panel. It is configured as follows. Backlights are roughly classified into direct type and edge light type. In recent years, edge light type backlights are widely used from the viewpoint of reducing power consumption and reducing the thickness.
 エッジライト型のバックライトは、浅底箱型をなすバックライトシャーシ内に収容された導光板及び光源とを備える。導光板は、ガラス又は透光性を有する樹脂材料製の平板であり、バックライトシャーシの底板上に載置されている。光源は、バックライトシャーシの一側壁に取り付け、導光板の一側面に対向させてある。 Edge light type backlight includes a light guide plate and a light source housed in a backlight chassis having a shallow box shape. The light guide plate is a flat plate made of glass or a resin material having translucency, and is placed on the bottom plate of the backlight chassis. The light source is attached to one side wall of the backlight chassis and is opposed to one side surface of the light guide plate.
 光源からの光は、導光板の一側面に入射し、空気及び導光板の屈折率の差により全反射を繰り返して導光板内を進行する。導光板内を進行する光は、導光板に設けられたドットパターンにより反射、散乱し、バックライトシャーシの開口側に露出する導光板の一広面全体に分布して出射される。 The light from the light source is incident on one side of the light guide plate and travels through the light guide plate by repeating total reflection due to the difference in refractive index between air and the light guide plate. The light traveling in the light guide plate is reflected and scattered by the dot pattern provided on the light guide plate, and is distributed and emitted over the entire wide surface of the light guide plate exposed to the opening side of the backlight chassis.
 表示装置は、導光板の一広面を液晶パネルの背面に対向させ、対向面間に光学シートを介装して構成されている。光学シートは、光の拡散、集光作用をなす光学要素であり、導光板からの出射光は、光学シートを経て液晶パネルに照射される。 The display device is configured such that a wide surface of the light guide plate is opposed to the back surface of the liquid crystal panel, and an optical sheet is interposed between the opposed surfaces. The optical sheet is an optical element that functions to diffuse and collect light, and light emitted from the light guide plate is irradiated onto the liquid crystal panel through the optical sheet.
 導光板及び液晶パネルの間にスペーサを配し、光学シートを介装する空間を確保した表示装置が従来提案されている。例えば、特許文献1に記載の表示装置(表示モジュール)においては、導光板と液晶パネルとは、夫々の周縁部に設けた枠状のスペーサにより適宜の間隔を隔てて対向させてあり、光学シートはスペーサの内側空間に配置されている。 Conventionally, a display device has been proposed in which a spacer is provided between the light guide plate and the liquid crystal panel and a space for interposing the optical sheet is secured. For example, in the display device (display module) described in Patent Document 1, the light guide plate and the liquid crystal panel are opposed to each other with an appropriate interval by a frame-like spacer provided on each peripheral portion, and an optical sheet Is disposed in the inner space of the spacer.
 スペーサは、光学シートを介装する空間を確保し、かつ、導光板及び液晶パネルを結合する場合がある。この場合に、導光板及び液晶パネルの結合の簡便性及び強度の観点から、スペーサの材料としてUV硬化性又は湿気硬化性等の樹脂が挙げられる。 The spacer may secure a space for interposing the optical sheet and may couple the light guide plate and the liquid crystal panel. In this case, from the viewpoint of ease of coupling and strength of the light guide plate and the liquid crystal panel, examples of the spacer material include UV curable or moisture curable resins.
特開2007-232809号公報JP 2007-232809 A
 しかしながら、樹脂の性質は様々であり、導光板及び液晶パネルの結合の簡便性及び強度の観点から好ましい樹脂が、透光性を有し、且つ屈折率が空気よりも大きい場合がある。この場合、導光板から出射した光が、導光板及びスペーサの結合部分からスペーサを介して液晶パネル又は光学シートへ入射する可能性がある。意図しない光の入射による輝度むらの制御は困難であり、また、使用者が画面を斜視した場合に意図しない光の出射が顕著に確認され、表示装置の表示品質が低下する。 However, the properties of the resin are various, and a resin that is preferable from the viewpoint of simplicity and strength of coupling between the light guide plate and the liquid crystal panel may have translucency and a refractive index higher than air. In this case, the light emitted from the light guide plate may enter the liquid crystal panel or the optical sheet through the spacer from the coupling portion of the light guide plate and the spacer. It is difficult to control luminance unevenness due to unintended light incidence, and unintentional light emission is remarkably confirmed when the user squints the screen, and the display quality of the display device deteriorates.
 本発明は、斯かる事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、表示品質を保つことができる表示装置を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a display device capable of maintaining display quality.

 本発明によれば、遮光部が導光板からの本体部への光の入射を遮る。したがって、スペーサの本体部が透光性を有する場合であっても、本体部を介する液晶パネル又は光学シートへの光の入射が防止され、表示品質が保たれる。 According to the present invention, the light blocking portion blocks light from entering the main body from the light guide plate. Therefore, even when the main body portion of the spacer has translucency, light is prevented from entering the liquid crystal panel or the optical sheet via the main body portion, and display quality is maintained.

 本発明に係る表示装置は、前記遮光部は黒色であることを特徴とする。 The display device according to the present invention is characterized in that the light shielding portion is black.
 本発明によれば、遮光部が黒色であるので、より確実に光の本体部への入射を遮ることができる。 According to the present invention, since the light shielding portion is black, it is possible to more reliably block light from entering the main body portion.
 本発明に係る表示装置は、前記本体部は、枠状をなし、前記遮光部は、前記本体部の一部又は全部に沿って配され、幅寸法が前記本体部の幅寸法以上であることを特徴とする。 In the display device according to the present invention, the main body portion has a frame shape, the light shielding portion is arranged along a part or all of the main body portion, and a width dimension is equal to or larger than a width dimension of the main body portion. It is characterized by.
 本発明によれば、遮光部は、より確実に光の本体部への入射を遮ることができ、本体部及び導光板に強固に固着される。 According to the present invention, the light shielding portion can more reliably block the light from entering the main body portion, and is firmly fixed to the main body portion and the light guide plate.

Moreover, the width dimension of the short side light-shielding part 32a and the long side light-shielding part 32b is equal to or larger than the width dimension of the short side body part 31a and the long side body part 31b, respectively. That is, the width dimension of the light shielding part 32 is equal to or larger than the width dimension of the main body part 31.
 以下、表示装置1の動作を説明する。光源41から照射された光は、導光板21の一側面から入射し、空気及び導光板の屈折率の差により全反射を繰り返して導光板21内を進行する。導光板21内を進行する光は、導光板21の他広面に設けられたドットパターンにより反射、散乱し、一広面全体に分布して出射する。 Hereinafter, the operation of the display device 1 will be described. The light emitted from the light source 41 is incident from one side of the light guide plate 21 and travels through the light guide plate 21 by repeating total reflection due to the difference in refractive index between air and the light guide plate. The light traveling in the light guide plate 21 is reflected and scattered by the dot pattern provided on the other wide surface of the light guide plate 21 and is distributed and emitted over the entire wide surface.
 導光板21から出射した光は、光学シート23a,23b,23c,23dによる拡散、集光を経て液晶パネル10により変調されて透過し、表示面10aに画像を表示する。 The light emitted from the light guide plate 21 is modulated and transmitted by the liquid crystal panel 10 after being diffused and condensed by the optical sheets 23a, 23b, 23c, and 23d, and displays an image on the display surface 10a.
 以上のように構成された表示装置1は遮光部32が導光板21からの本体部31への光の入射を遮る。したがって、スペーサ30の本体部31が透光性を有し、屈折率が空気よりも大きい場合であっても、本体部31を介する液晶パネル10又は光学シート23a,23b,23c,23dへの光の入射を防止することができ、液晶パネル10の表示品質が保たれる。 In the display device 1 configured as described above, the light shielding portion 32 blocks light from entering the main body portion 31 from the light guide plate 21. Therefore, even when the main body 31 of the spacer 30 has translucency and the refractive index is larger than that of air, the light to the liquid crystal panel 10 or the optical sheets 23a, 23b, 23c, and 23d via the main body 31 is obtained. Can be prevented, and the display quality of the liquid crystal panel 10 is maintained.
 また、UV硬化性樹脂を用いることで簡単に本体部31を形成することができる。遮光部32が黒色であるので、より確実に本体部31への光の入射を遮ることができる。更に遮光部32の幅寸法が本体部31の幅寸法以上であるので、より確実に本体部31への光の入射を遮ることができる。また、遮光部32は、本体部31及び導光板21に強固に固着される。 Moreover, the main body 31 can be easily formed by using a UV curable resin. Since the light shielding portion 32 is black, it is possible to more reliably block light from entering the main body portion 31. Furthermore, since the width dimension of the light shielding part 32 is equal to or larger than the width dimension of the main body part 31, it is possible to more reliably block light from entering the main body part 31. The light shielding part 32 is firmly fixed to the main body part 31 and the light guide plate 21.
 なお、スペーサ30の本体部31はUV硬化性の樹脂により形成する構成でなく、湿気硬化性の樹脂又はホットメルト系の樹脂により形成する構成であってもよい。また、光学シート23a,23b,23c,23dは、夫々凸部を設けない構成であってもよい。 The main body 31 of the spacer 30 may not be formed of a UV curable resin, but may be formed of a moisture curable resin or a hot melt resin. Further, the optical sheets 23a, 23b, 23c, and 23d may have a configuration in which no convex portion is provided.
(変形例)
 以下、変形例に係る表示装置1についてその実施の形態を示す図面に基づいて詳述する。図4は、変形例に係る遮光部32を示す断面図である。遮光部32は、短辺側遮光部32a,32aを有し、長辺側遮光部32b,32bを有しない。また、短辺側本体部31a,31aは、UV硬化性の樹脂により形成されており、長辺側本体部31b,31bは、遮光性を有する材料により形成されている。
(Modification)
Hereinafter, the display device 1 according to the modification will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating embodiments thereof. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a light shielding part 32 according to a modification. The light shielding part 32 has short side light shielding parts 32a and 32a, and does not have long side light shielding parts 32b and 32b. The short side body parts 31a and 31a are made of a UV curable resin, and the long side body parts 31b and 31b are made of a light-shielding material.
 この場合、短辺側遮光部32aが導光板21からの短辺側本体部31aへの光の入射を遮る。したがって、スペーサ30の短辺側本体部31aが透光性を有し、屈折率が空気よりも大きい場合であっても、短辺側本体部31aを介する液晶パネル10又は光学シート23a,23b,23c,23dへの光の入射が防止される。 In this case, the short-side light shielding portion 32a blocks light from entering the short-side main body portion 31a from the light guide plate 21. Therefore, even if the short-side main body 31a of the spacer 30 has translucency and the refractive index is larger than air, the liquid crystal panel 10 or the optical sheets 23a, 23b, The incidence of light on 23c and 23d is prevented.
 一方で、長辺側本体部31b,31bは遮光性を有する材料により形成されているので、液晶パネル10又は光学シート23a,23b,23c,23dへの光の入射は防止されている。 On the other hand, since the long-side main body portions 31b and 31b are formed of a light-shielding material, light is prevented from entering the liquid crystal panel 10 or the optical sheets 23a, 23b, 23c, and 23d.
 以上の構成によれば、表示装置1は、表示品質が保つことができ、また材料選択の幅を広げて設計の多様化を図ることができる。 According to the above configuration, the display device 1 can maintain the display quality, and can diversify the design by expanding the range of material selection.
