Definitions
- the present invention relates to a backlighting unit.
- Backlighting units are used, for example, to backlight screens. Numerous known backlighting units are thick in order to enable sufficient light distribution and thus to achieve uniform illumination. Flatter backlighting systems are made possible in the prior art by using side-emitting light-emitting diodes, which requires complicated designs.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a backlight unit. This object is achieved by a backlighting unit with the features of the un dependent claim. Various developments are specified in the dependent claims.
- a backlighting unit comprises a carrier with an upper side arranged parallel to an xy plane, a reflector assembly arranged in a z-direction above the carrier, an optics assembly arranged in the z-direction above the reflector assembly, and an optics assembly in the z-direction above the optics assembly arranged diffuser.
- a cell of the backlighting unit comprises a section of the carrier with an optoelectronic semiconductor chip arranged on the upper side, a reflector of the reflector assembly, an optical element of the optical assembly and a section of the diffuser.
- the Re reflector has a concave mirror surface.
- the optical element has a front side facing the reflector and a back facing away from the reflector.
- the front side is divided into front surface sections arranged in the form of a matrix.
- the rear is divided into rear surface sections arranged in the form of a matrix.
- At least two front surface sections are designed differently.
- At least two rear surface sections are designed differently.
- Each front surface section and each rear surface section is designed in such a way that a light beam penetrating the respective surface section centrally in the z-direction undergoes a specified beam deflection and a specified beam widening.
- this backlighting unit can be made very flat, for example with a thickness of less than 3 mm.
- the backlighting unit can be suitable, for example, for direct backlighting of a screen.
- a particular advantage of the backlighting unit is that it allows the use of conventional and inexpensive surface-emitting light-emitting diode chips.
- the backlighting unit has a low sensitivity with regard to positioning tolerances and with regard to fluctuations in the refractive index of the material of the optical assembly.
- an air gap is formed between the reflector assembly and the optical assembly.
- this air gap offers space for a homogenization of the light running from the reflector assembly to the optical assembly.
- an air gap is formed between the optics assembly and the diffuser.
- this air gap ensures a sufficient refractive index difference at the interface between the optics assembly and the air gap.
- the air gap offers space for a homogenization of the light reaching the diffuser from the optical system.
- the reflector has a rectangular upper opening on an upper side facing the optical element.
- edges of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip are oriented parallel to edges of the upper opening.
- such a configuration of the upper opening of the reflector and such an orientation of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip have proven to be particularly effective in order to achieve uniform backlighting.
- the reflector has a circular disc-shaped lower opening on an underside facing the carrier. It has proven to be particularly favorable to form the lower opening of the reflector with a different shape than the upper opening of the reflector.
- the mirror surface of the reflector is subdivided into four azimuthal sectors.
- the mirror surface has kinks at the boundaries between the sectors.
- a reflector with such a mirror surface can be produced easily and reliably.
- a mirror surface configured in this way has proven to be particularly effective in order to uniformly distribute the light emitted by the optoelectronic semiconductor chip.
- each sector has a planar inner facet and a planar outer facet.
- the inner facet and the outer facet are arranged at an angle to one another.
- a reflector with a mirror surface designed in this way can be produced simply and reliably.
- the design of the mirror surface has proven to be effective in order to achieve a uniform distribution of the light emitted by the optoelectronic semiconductor chip.
- the defined beam deflection differs for at least two surface sections.
- the specified beam expansion differs for at least two surface sections.
- this makes it possible to design the optical element of the cell of the backlighting unit in such a way that the light emitted by the optoelectronic semiconductor chip is distributed uniformly over the entire surface of the cell.
- the beam is widened in at least one surface section according to a tophat scattering distribution with a specified scattering width.
- a desired light distribution to be achieved through the optical element of the cell of the backlighting unit.
- At least two front surface sections have different sizes.
- at least two rear surface sections have different sizes.
- rear-side surface sections located further to the outside can have a smaller size than rear-side surface sections located further to the inside.
- a front-side surface section is irradiated by essentially the same light components as a respective corresponding rear-side surface section.
- the number of front-side surface sections corresponds to the number of rear-side surface sections. This advantageously results in a simple construction of the optical element of the cell of the backlighting unit.
- the front surface sections are not congruent with the rear surface sections.
- a front-side surface section is irradiated by essentially the same light components as a corresponding rear-side surface section.
- the front side of the optical element and/or the back side of the optical element are mirror-symmetric with respect to a plane of symmetry parallel to an x-z plane and mirror-symmetric with respect to a plane of symmetry parallel to a y-z-plane. This advantageously results in a simple configuration of the optical element of the cell of the backlighting unit.
- a surface of at least one surface section is divided into a plurality of surface parts.
- the upper surface parts are each tilted with respect to the z-direction.
- a fixed beam deflection is achieved by the surface section.
- the subdivision (faceting) of the surface of the surface section into a plurality of surface parts means that the tilted surface parts only have a small height in the z-direction.
- the surface parts each have a shape that deviates from a flat surface, in particular a wave shape, an arrangement of microlenses, an arrangement of prisms or a randomized roughening.
- a fixed beam widening is achieved through this surface section of the optical element.
- the diffuser is designed as a plane-parallel plate and has a embedded scattering particles.
- a diffuser is simple and inexpensive to produce and has a suitable scattering characteristic.
- the diffuser is designed as a micro-optically structured surface diffuser.
- a diffuser also has a suitable scattering characteristic.
- the diffuser scatters light when irradiated with a collimated light source such that the relative intensity decreases in a first scattering angle range from 0° to 90° and increases in a second scattering angle range from 90° to 180°.
- the relative intensity is greater at a scattering angle of 0° than at a scattering angle of 180°.
- the diffuser then advantageously also causes backward scattering, which achieves additional homogenization of the light emitted by the backlighting unit.
- a wavelength-converting element is arranged between the optics assembly and the diffuser.
- the wavelength-converting element can be provided to convert electromagnetic radiation emitted by the optoelectronic semiconductor chip into electromagnetic radiation of a different wavelength. This can, for example, make it possible to use an optoelectronic semiconductor chip that emits blue light.
- the backlighting unit has a plurality of cells of the same type.
- the cells are arranged in a matrix.
- the backlighting unit can thus be designed with large dimensions and enable uniform backlighting of a large area.
