具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本发明的实施方式作进一步详细描述。以下实施例只是用于说明本发明，而不是用于限制本发明的范围。
在本发明的描述中，需要说明的是，除非另有说明，“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上；术语“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”、“内”、“外”、 “前端”、“后端”、“头部”、“尾部”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系，仅是为了便于描述本发明和简化描述，而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作，因此不能理解为对本发明的限制。
此外，术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解，例如，可以是固定连接，也可以是可拆卸连接，或一体地连接；可以是机械连接，也可以是电连接；可以是直接相连，也可以通过中间媒介间接相连。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言，可视具体情况理解上述术语在本发明中的具体含义。
如图1所示，本实施例提供的曲面背光源包括框架110、光学膜材130以及多个光源组件120。光源组件120设置于框架110上，光学膜材130设置在光源组件120的出光面。光源组件120与光学膜材130呈弯曲状。光源组件120可以为呈朝向光学膜材130的弯曲状。该曲面背光源的弯曲形状可与曲面的液晶显示面板相匹配，从而保证显示的均一性，降低背光源厚度，减少背光源成本。
框架110的结构也可设置为弯曲状，以利于与曲面液晶显示面板更好地匹配。优选地，框架110、光学膜材130与光源组件120为相匹配的弯曲状。也就是说，框架110、光学膜材130可与光源组件120完全贴合在一起，使得框架110、光学膜材130与光源组件120具有相同的弯曲曲率。曲面背光源还可与曲面的液晶显示面板具有相同的弯曲曲率，使得曲面的液晶显示面板具有较高的亮度均一性，而且能够充分提高光能利用率。框架110、光源组件120以及光学膜材130的弯曲程度可视曲面液晶显示面板的弯曲程度而定。此外，框架110、光源组件120以及光学膜材130可以部分区域为弯曲状，也可以全部区域为弯曲状。
对于光源组件120而言，并不对其具体尺寸、数量进行限定，可根据实际需要灵活设置。例如：如图4所示，多个光源组件120分别在框架110上等间距地排列，而且各个光源组件120的长度相同。优选地，相邻两个光源组件之间的距离为10mm-100mm。当然，在匹配不同尺寸的曲面液晶显示面板时，还可以根据需要设置为其他尺寸，此处不再做限制。
如图2所示，光源组件120包括导光棒122及发光体121。导光棒122为弯曲柱状，导光棒122固定于框架110上。发光体121分别设置于导光棒122的两端，并且发光体121发出光线的中心轴沿着导光棒122入口处的切线方向。
如图3所示，导光棒122靠近光学膜材的一侧为出光区域123(导光棒122截面图的靠上部分)，导光棒122远离光学膜材的一侧为反射区域124(导光棒122截面图的靠下部分)。这样可有效保证光线全部从出光区域123射出。
该出光区域123的截面形状为半椭圆形，以增加扩散角度，提高光能利用率。半椭圆形的长半轴为水平方向设置，其半椭圆形的长半轴a满足：4mm≤a≤8mm。反射区域124的截面形状为半圆形，其半圆形的半径r满足：4mm≤r≤8mm。长半轴a与半径r的取值相同，以保证向下的光线经反射后全部从出光区域123射出。当然，长半轴a与半径r同样不只局限于上述取值范围，可根据实际需要灵活设置。
为了使光线全部从出光区域123射出，在该出光区域123的出光面的内部或者出光面的外部可以设置有光散射粒子。光散射粒子包括无机物粒子、有机物粒子、金属粒子、复合材料粒子中的至少一种。这样使得能够最大程度地利用光能，同时还能调整出光的方向，使得光线垂直于出光面出射。
出光区域123的出光面内还可以设置有光扩散结构。光扩散结构可以为空心孔洞或棱镜阵列结构。棱镜阵列结构中的棱镜的截面形状为锯齿形或波浪形或随机凸起图形，此处不做限定。
为了减少反射区域124与框架110底板重合部分的光能损失，可以在反射区域124内设置有网点结构以破坏全反射，使得发光体121发出的光在进入导光棒122后能从其出光区域射出。
导光棒122可以为由PMMA或PC制成的实心柱体。这两种透明材质取材方便，导光率较高。在该实心柱体的两端分别设置有一个发光体121，发光体121可以为LED或激光光源，以提供稳定的光源。
值得说明的是，本实施例提供的曲面背光源为直下式背光源，当然，也可根据实际需要进行灵活调整。
本发明实施例还提供一种显示装置，其包括曲面背光源。
该曲面背光源包括框架110、光学膜材130以及多个光源组件120。 光源组件120设置于框架110上，光学膜材130设置在光源组件120的出光面。光源组件120与光学膜材130呈弯曲状。光源组件120可以为呈朝向光学膜材130的弯曲状。该曲面背光源的弯曲形状可与曲面的液晶显示面板相匹配，从而保证显示的均一性，降低背光源厚度，减少背光源成本。
此外，该显示装置还包括曲面液晶显示面板，曲面液晶显示面板与曲面背光源具有相同的曲率(曲面液晶显示面板与框架110、光学膜材130、光源组件120的弯曲程度相同)，使得曲面液晶显示装置具有较高的亮度均一性。至于其他有关曲面背光源的结构已在上面详细阐述，此处不再赘述。
本发明的实施例是为了示例和描述而给出的，而并不是穷举的或者将本发明局限于所公开的实施方式。很多修改和变化对于本领域的普通技术人员而言是显而易见的。选择和描述实施例是为了更好地说明本发明的原理和实际应用，并且使本领域的普通技术人员能够理解本发明从而设计适于特定用途的带有各种修改的各种实施例。
