<1. Configuration example of display device>
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of one embodiment of a display device according to the present disclosure.
 図1の表示装置1は、発光時には映像による所定の情報表示ができ、非発光時には所定の意匠を視認させることができる装置である。 The display device 1 in FIG. 1 is a device capable of displaying predetermined information by video when emitting light, and allowing a predetermined design to be visually recognized when not emitting light.
 表示装置1は、基板11と、その基板11上に所定の配置ピッチP1で実装された複数の発光部12と、発光部12が実装された領域以外の基板11上に形成された加飾層13とを含んで構成されている。 The display device 1 includes a substrate 11, a plurality of light emitting units 12 mounted on the substrate 11 at a predetermined arrangement pitch P1, and a decorative layer formed on the substrate 11 other than the area where the light emitting units 12 are mounted. 13.
 基板11は、例えば、ガラスエポキシ基板、ガラスポリイミド基板等で構成され、基板11には、発光部12の発光を制御する制御信号の配線と制御回路等が形成されている。 The substrate 11 is composed of, for example, a glass epoxy substrate, a glass polyimide substrate, or the like, and the substrate 11 is provided with control signal wiring for controlling the light emission of the light emitting section 12, a control circuit, and the like.
 発光部12は、光源21と、その周囲に形成された導光部22とを含む。光源21は、例えば、赤色を発光する発光素子、緑色を発光する発光素子、および、青色を発光する発光素子を備え、各発光素子は、例えば発光ダイオード(LED)で構成される。発光部12のサイズ(例えばチップサイズ)は特に制限されないが、例えば1mm以下、あるいは、例えば0.3mm以下、あるいは、例えば0.1mm以下の大きさで形成され、微小光源とされる。なお、発光部12は、赤色、緑色、および、青色を発光する発光素子の個数が1個ずつではなく、複数個でもよい。また、発光する色によって発光素子の個数が異なっていてもよい。さらに、一部または全ての発光部12には、白色光を発光する発光素子や、イエロー、シアン、またはマゼンタを発光する発光素子が設けられてもよい。光源21を構成する複数の発光素子の配置も任意である。 The light emitting section 12 includes a light source 21 and a light guiding section 22 formed therearound. The light source 21 includes, for example, a light emitting element that emits red light, a light emitting element that emits green light, and a light emitting element that emits blue light, and each light emitting element is configured by, for example, a light emitting diode (LED). Although the size (for example, chip size) of the light emitting part 12 is not particularly limited, it is formed with a size of, for example, 1 mm 2 or less, or, for example, 0.3 mm 2 or less, or, for example, 0.1 mm 2 or less, and is used as a minute light source. . Note that the number of light emitting elements for emitting red, green, and blue light in the light emitting section 12 may not be one each, but may be plural. Also, the number of light-emitting elements may differ depending on the color of light emitted. Furthermore, some or all of the light emitting units 12 may be provided with a light emitting element that emits white light, or a light emitting element that emits yellow, cyan, or magenta light. Arrangement of a plurality of light emitting elements which constitute light source 21 is also arbitrary.
 導光部22は、例えばエポキシ樹脂やシリコン樹脂等のモールド樹脂により、光源21が発する光の出射方向(図1において一点鎖線で示される領域)と、その周囲を含む領域に形成されている。基板11上に形成された導光部22は、基板11との接続面である底部S1の面積31が、光出射口となる上部S2の面積32よりも大きく、上部S2から底部S1へ向かうに従って側壁が外側に拡がるテーパ形状(傾斜形状)を有している。光出射口となる上部S2のサイズは、光源21の光の出射方向の拡がり角をθ、光源21から上部S2までの距離を加飾層13の厚みTKと同じとすると、好ましくは、(上部S2のサイズ)>{(光源21のサイズ)+2*TK*tanθ}、すなわち、{(光源21のサイズ)+2*TK*tanθ}が、上部S2のサイズより小さくなるように形成されている。ただし、導光部22が、内部の多重反射光を取り出せる構造を有する場合などはこの限りではない。光源21の拡がり角θは、一般的な発光ダイオードでは例えば45°程度であり、狭配光の発光ダイオードの場合はさらに小さくなる。 The light guide part 22 is formed in a region including the emission direction of the light emitted by the light source 21 (the region indicated by the dashed-dotted line in FIG. 1) and its surroundings, for example, using molding resin such as epoxy resin or silicone resin. In the light guide portion 22 formed on the substrate 11, the area 31 of the bottom portion S1, which is the connection surface with the substrate 11, is larger than the area 32 of the top portion S2, which is the light exit port, and the area 32 increases from the top portion S2 toward the bottom portion S1. The side wall has a tapered shape (inclined shape) that expands outward. The size of the upper portion S2 serving as the light exit port is preferably (upper portion The size of S2)>{(size of light source 21)+2*TK*tan θ}, that is, {(size of light source 21)+2*TK*tan θ} is formed to be smaller than the size of upper portion S2. However, this is not the case when the light guide section 22 has a structure capable of extracting the multiple reflected light inside. The spread angle θ of the light source 21 is, for example, about 45° for general light emitting diodes, and is even smaller for narrow light distribution light emitting diodes.
 基板11上に複数実装されている発光部12(光源21)どうしの第1方向(例えばX方向)の間隔である配置ピッチP1は、0.1mmないし10mmの範囲の所定の値、例えば、1.26mmなどとされる。第1方向に直交する基板11の第2方向(例えばY方向)の配置ピッチP2(不図示)は、第1方向の配置ピッチP1に合わせてもよいし、異ならせてもよい。配置ピッチP1およびP2は、解像度、発光部12のサイズ、発光時の必要輝度、視聴距離等に応じて適宜決定することができる。例えば、視聴距離に応じて配置ピッチP1を決定する場合、配置ピッチP1=視聴距離[m]÷2160により決定することができる。また例えば、表示装置1としての必要輝度を満たすために、例えば、{(配置ピッチP1)÷(発光部12のサイズ)}<100となるように、発光部12のサイズに応じて配置ピッチP1を決定してもよい。 The arrangement pitch P1, which is the interval in the first direction (for example, the X direction) between the plurality of light emitting units 12 (light sources 21) mounted on the substrate 11, is a predetermined value in the range of 0.1 mm to 10 mm, for example, 1 .26 mm. An arrangement pitch P2 (not shown) of the substrates 11 in a second direction (for example, the Y direction) orthogonal to the first direction may be matched with or different from the arrangement pitch P1 in the first direction. The arrangement pitches P1 and P2 can be appropriately determined according to the resolution, the size of the light emitting section 12, the required brightness during light emission, the viewing distance, and the like. For example, when the arrangement pitch P1 is determined according to the viewing distance, it can be determined by the arrangement pitch P1=viewing distance [m]/2160. Further, for example, in order to satisfy the luminance required for the display device 1, the arrangement pitch P1 is adjusted according to the size of the light emitting units 12 so that {(arrangement pitch P1)÷(size of the light emitting units 12)}<100, for example. may be determined.
 ここで、図2を参照して、発光部12の平面形状について説明する。図2のAないしCは、基板11の上側から発光部12をみた平面図である。 Here, the planar shape of the light emitting section 12 will be described with reference to FIG. 2A to 2C are plan views of the light emitting section 12 viewed from above the substrate 11. FIG.
 導光部22の平面形状は、例えば図2のAに示されるように、円形状とすることができる。また例えば、光源21の平面形状が長方形である場合には、図2のBまたはCに示されるように、導光部22の平面形状を楕円形状や長方形としてもよい。勿論、導光部22の平面形状を正方形とすることもできる。 The planar shape of the light guide part 22 can be circular, for example, as shown in A of FIG. Further, for example, when the planar shape of the light source 21 is rectangular, the planar shape of the light guide section 22 may be elliptical or rectangular as shown in B or C of FIG. 2 . Of course, the planar shape of the light guide portion 22 can also be square.
 導光部22の基板側の底部S1の径(幅)は、上部S2の径(幅)以上、配置ピッチP1以下であればよい。導光部22の光出射口である上部S2の径(幅)は、光源21の径(幅)以上、配置ピッチP1の30%以下とされる。導光部22の光透過率は、例えば80%以上とすることが好ましい。 The diameter (width) of the bottom portion S1 on the substrate side of the light guide portion 22 may be equal to or greater than the diameter (width) of the upper portion S2 and equal to or less than the arrangement pitch P1. The diameter (width) of the upper portion S2, which is the light exit port of the light guide portion 22, is greater than or equal to the diameter (width) of the light source 21 and less than or equal to 30% of the arrangement pitch P1. It is preferable that the light transmittance of the light guide section 22 is, for example, 80% or more.
 図1に戻り、加飾層13は、例えば、ファブリック(布、繊維)、革、木目調等の化粧板、壁紙(漆喰などの凹凸のあるテクスチャ素材を含む)、絵画、意匠層を形成したフィルム、金属薄膜が塗膜されたフィルム等で構成される。加飾層13は、発光部12が点灯していない状態において、観察者に、所定の意匠を視認させる。また、加飾層13は、加飾層13の厚みや凹凸により、観察者に所定の質感や肌触りを提供する。加飾層13には、絵、文字、ロゴ、記号、符号、印、標章、図案等を含む模様が形成されていてもよい。 Returning to FIG. 1, the decorative layer 13 includes, for example, fabric (cloth, fiber), leather, veneer such as wood grain, wallpaper (including uneven texture materials such as plaster), painting, and design layer. It is composed of a film, a film coated with a metal thin film, or the like. The decorative layer 13 allows an observer to visually recognize a predetermined design when the light emitting section 12 is not lit. In addition, the decorative layer 13 provides the observer with a predetermined texture and feel due to the thickness and unevenness of the decorative layer 13 . Patterns including pictures, characters, logos, symbols, signs, marks, emblems, designs, and the like may be formed on the decorative layer 13 .
 加飾層13の厚みTKは、素材によって異なる。加飾層13の素材がファブリック(布、繊維)である場合、例えば、100ないし5000μm程度の厚みが想定される。加飾層13の素材が革または化粧板である場合、例えば、500ないし2000μm程度の厚みが想定される。加飾層13の素材が壁紙または絵画である場合、例えば、500ないし3000μm程度の厚みが想定される。加飾層13の素材がフィルムである場合、例えば、50ないし500μm程度の厚みが想定される。 The thickness TK of the decorative layer 13 varies depending on the material. When the material of the decorative layer 13 is fabric (cloth, fiber), the thickness is assumed to be approximately 100 to 5000 μm, for example. When the material of the decorative layer 13 is leather or a decorative board, the thickness is assumed to be about 500 to 2000 μm, for example. When the material of the decorative layer 13 is wallpaper or painting, the thickness is assumed to be about 500 to 3000 μm, for example. When the material of the decorative layer 13 is a film, the thickness is assumed to be approximately 50 to 500 μm, for example.
 加飾層13は、基板11に接着されるが、基板11から剥がして、例えば意匠の異なる新しい加飾層13に貼りかえることも可能である。 The decorative layer 13 is adhered to the substrate 11, but it is also possible to peel it off from the substrate 11 and attach it to a new decorative layer 13 with a different design, for example.
 発光部12の高さ(底部S1から上部S2までの距離)は、加飾層13の厚みに合わせて形成される。観察者に視認される表示装置1の表示面は、導光部22の上部S2か、または、加飾層13となるが、導光部22の上部S2の占める面積は、加飾層13が占める面積の20%以下とすることが好ましい。これにより、加飾層13をより自然に視認することができる。 The height of the light emitting part 12 (the distance from the bottom part S1 to the top part S2) is formed according to the thickness of the decorative layer 13. The display surface of the display device 1 visually recognized by the observer is the upper portion S2 of the light guide portion 22 or the decorative layer 13. The area occupied by the upper portion S2 of the light guide portion 22 is It is preferable to make it 20% or less of the area occupied. Thereby, the decorative layer 13 can be visually recognized more naturally.
 以上のように構成される表示装置1においては、導光部22の側壁が、上部S2から底部S1へ向かうに従って外側に拡がるテーパ形状とされている。このように、導光部22の立体形状を、先端部である上部S2が、底部S1よりも小さくなる突起形状としたことにより、加飾層13を基板11に貼り合わせる際の位置合わせや、加飾層13の発光部12の位置に予め開口部(穴)を設けることを不要としている。 In the display device 1 configured as described above, the side wall of the light guide portion 22 has a tapered shape that expands outward from the top portion S2 toward the bottom portion S1. As described above, the three-dimensional shape of the light guide portion 22 is formed into a projection shape in which the top portion S2, which is the tip portion, is smaller than the bottom portion S1. It is not necessary to provide openings (holes) in advance at the positions of the light emitting portions 12 of the decorative layer 13 .
 すなわち、詳細は後述するが、加飾層13を基板11に貼り合わせる前には、加飾層13の発光部12の位置には開口部(穴)が設けられておらず、加飾層13を基板11に貼り合わせることにより、発光部12の導光部22が加飾層13を貫通し、図1のような断面構成となる。導光部22の立体形状を、先端部である上部S2が、底部S1よりも小さくなる突起形状としたことにより、発光部12が加飾層13を貫通しやすくするとともに、導光部22の根元を補強する機能を有している。導光部22の根元の補強部は、加飾層13を基板11に貼り合わせる際に、発光部12の折れ(倒れ)等を防止する。 That is, although the details will be described later, before bonding the decorative layer 13 to the substrate 11, no openings (holes) are provided at the positions of the light emitting portions 12 of the decorative layer 13, and the decorative layer 13 is attached to the substrate 11, the light guide portion 22 of the light emitting portion 12 penetrates the decorative layer 13, and the cross-sectional configuration shown in FIG. 1 is obtained. The three-dimensional shape of the light guide portion 22 is formed into a projection shape in which the top portion S2, which is the tip portion, is smaller than the bottom portion S1. It has the function of reinforcing the root. The reinforcing portion at the base of the light guide portion 22 prevents the light emitting portion 12 from breaking (falling down) or the like when the decorative layer 13 is adhered to the substrate 11 .

<2. Other Configuration Examples of Light Emitting Unit>
Another configuration example of the light emitting unit 12 will be described with reference to FIG.
 なお、図3において、図1で示した各部と対応する部分については同一の符号を付してあり、その部分の説明は適宜省略する。 In FIG. 3, parts corresponding to those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description of those parts will be omitted as appropriate.
 図3のAないしCは、導光部22のその他の形状例を示す断面図である。 3A to 3C are cross-sectional views showing other shape examples of the light guide portion 22. FIG.
 図1で示した基本の実施の形態では、導光部22の断面形状が、上部S2から底部S1へ向かうに従って大きくなるテーパ形状を有していた。 In the basic embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the cross-sectional shape of the light guide portion 22 has a tapered shape that increases from the top portion S2 toward the bottom portion S1.
 しかしながら、導光部22の上部S2が底部S1よりも小さくなる形状であれば、導光部22の立体形状はテーパ形状に限られない。 However, as long as the top portion S2 of the light guide portion 22 is smaller than the bottom portion S1, the three-dimensional shape of the light guide portion 22 is not limited to the tapered shape.
 例えば、導光部22は、図3のAに示されるように、導光部22の底部S1側の根元側を第1の径D1の円柱状に形成し、上部S2側の先端側を第2の径D2(<D1)の円柱状で形成して、上部S2が底部S1よりも小さくなる形状としてもよい。 For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the light guide portion 22 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a first diameter D1 on the base side of the bottom portion S1 side of the light guide portion 22, and a first diameter on the tip side of the top portion S2 side. 2 may be formed in a cylindrical shape with a diameter D2 (<D1), and the top portion S2 may be smaller than the bottom portion S1.
 また例えば、導光部22は、図3のBに示されるように、上部S2を含む先端部が底部S1へ向かうに従って外側に拡がるテーパ形状を有し、途中の高さから、テーパ形状の平面積よりも大きい平面積の円柱形状や角柱形状を有する形状としてもよい。 Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the light guide portion 22 has a tapered shape in which the tip portion including the top portion S2 expands outward toward the bottom portion S1, and the tapered shape flattened from the middle height. A cylindrical shape or prismatic shape with a plane area larger than the area may be used.
 あるいはまた、導光部22は、図3のCに示されるように、側壁が導光部22の上部S2から底部S1へ向かうに従って階段状に拡がる形状としてもよい。 Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3C, the light guide portion 22 may have a shape in which the side walls widen stepwise from the top portion S2 of the light guide portion 22 toward the bottom portion S1.
 図1に示したテーパ形状も含めて、導光部22は、平面方向の径(幅)が小さい上部S2を含む先端部と、平面方向の径(幅)が先端部より大きい底部S1を含む根元部とに分けることができる。先端部は、加飾層13を貫通しやすくする貫通補助部として機能し、根元部は、突起形状の導光部22の折れ耐性を備える補強部として機能する。 Including the tapered shape shown in FIG. 1, the light guide portion 22 includes a tip portion including an upper portion S2 having a smaller diameter (width) in the plane direction, and a bottom portion S1 having a larger diameter (width) in the plane direction than the tip portion. It can be divided into root and root. The tip portion functions as a penetration assisting portion that facilitates penetration through the decorative layer 13 , and the root portion functions as a reinforcing portion that provides resistance to bending of the projection-shaped light guide portion 22 .

 配光制御部41は、導光部22の光出射口である上部S2に設けられ、光出射口から出る光を広げる機能を有する。配光制御部41は、例えば、可視光の波長以下の周期で繰り返される凹凸構造、または、ランダムに形成された凹凸構造により構成される。あるいはまた、屈折率の異なる微粒子を分散させた構造により、配光制御部41を形成してもよい。配光制御部41により、光源21から出た光が散乱されることにより、表示装置1の視野角を向上させることができる。 The light distribution control section 41 is provided in the upper portion S2, which is the light exit port of the light guide section 22, and has the function of expanding the light emitted from the light exit port. The light distribution control unit 41 is composed of, for example, an uneven structure that repeats at a period equal to or shorter than the wavelength of visible light, or an uneven structure that is randomly formed. Alternatively, the light distribution control section 41 may be formed with a structure in which fine particles having different refractive indices are dispersed. The viewing angle of the display device 1 can be improved by scattering the light emitted from the light source 21 by the light distribution control section 41 .
 光反射部42は、所定の膜を導光部22のテーパ形状の側壁および底部S1に形成することで構成され、光源21から出た光を反射させ、導光部22の上部S2から出射させる。光反射部42は、例えば、金属膜、誘電体多層膜、高屈折率を有する膜(高屈折率膜)などで構成される。光反射部42により、光源21から出た光の取り出し効率を向上させることができる。 The light reflecting portion 42 is formed by forming a predetermined film on the tapered side wall and the bottom portion S1 of the light guide portion 22, and reflects the light emitted from the light source 21 so that it is emitted from the upper portion S2 of the light guide portion 22. . The light reflecting portion 42 is composed of, for example, a metal film, a dielectric multilayer film, a film having a high refractive index (high refractive index film), or the like. The light reflection part 42 can improve the extraction efficiency of the light emitted from the light source 21 .
 強度強化部43は、所定の膜を導光部22のテーパ形状の側壁および底部S1に形成することで構成され、導光部22の表面を被膜することで導光部22を補強する。強度強化部43は、例えば、無機絶縁膜、金属膜、硬度の高い樹脂膜などで構成される。強度強化部43を設けることにより、導光部22の表面の傷耐性を向上させることができる。 The strength reinforcing portion 43 is formed by forming a predetermined film on the tapered side wall and bottom portion S1 of the light guide portion 22, and reinforces the light guide portion 22 by coating the surface of the light guide portion 22. The strength reinforcing portion 43 is composed of, for example, an inorganic insulating film, a metal film, a hard resin film, or the like. By providing the strength reinforcing portion 43, the scratch resistance of the surface of the light guide portion 22 can be improved.
 導光部22のテーパ形状の側壁および底部S1には、光反射部42または強度強化部43のどちらか一方に特化した被膜を形成してもよいし、光反射部42または強度強化部43の両方の機能を有する被膜を形成してもよい。例えば、金属膜を導光部22のテーパ形状の側壁および底部S1に形成することにより、光反射部42および強度強化部43の両方の機能を持たせることができる。 The tapered side wall and bottom portion S1 of the light guide portion 22 may be coated with a film specialized for either the light reflecting portion 42 or the strength enhancing portion 43, or the light reflecting portion 42 or the strength enhancing portion 43 may be formed. A coating having both functions may be formed. For example, by forming a metal film on the tapered side wall and bottom portion S1 of the light guide portion 22, it is possible to provide both the functions of the light reflecting portion 42 and the strength enhancing portion 43. FIG.
 図4のBは、発光部12の第2変形例を示している。 FIG. 4B shows a second modified example of the light emitting section 12. FIG.
 図4のBに示される発光部12は、導光部22の一部に、集光光学系としての高屈折率層45をさらに備えた構成である。高屈折率層45以外の構成は、図1で示した発光部12と同様である。 The light emitting section 12 shown in FIG. 4B has a configuration in which a part of the light guide section 22 is further provided with a high refractive index layer 45 as a condensing optical system. The configuration other than the high refractive index layer 45 is the same as that of the light emitting section 12 shown in FIG.
 具体的には、光源21の光出射方向(前方)に、導光部22の周囲のモールド樹脂よりも屈折率の高い高屈折率層45が形成されている。高屈折率層45は、導光部22の周囲のモールド樹脂よりも屈折率の高い樹脂でもよいし、光ファイバ等でもよい。高屈折率層45と、その周囲の樹脂層との屈折率の違いにより、光源21から出射された光が高屈折率層45で全反射することで、光源21の光を前方へ効率的に出力させることができる。 Specifically, a high refractive index layer 45 having a higher refractive index than the mold resin surrounding the light guide portion 22 is formed in the light emitting direction (forward) of the light source 21 . The high refractive index layer 45 may be a resin having a higher refractive index than the molding resin around the light guide section 22, or may be an optical fiber or the like. Due to the difference in refractive index between the high refractive index layer 45 and the surrounding resin layer, the light emitted from the light source 21 is totally reflected by the high refractive index layer 45, so that the light from the light source 21 is efficiently directed forward. can be output.
 図4のCは、発光部12の第3変形例を示している。 FIG. 4C shows a third modified example of the light emitting section 12. FIG.
 図4のCに示される発光部12は、導光部22内に、集光光学系としての反射板(ミラー)46をさらに備えた構成である。反射板46以外の構成は、図1で示した発光部12と同様である。 The light emitting section 12 shown in FIG. 4C further includes a reflecting plate (mirror) 46 as a condensing optical system within the light guiding section 22 . The configuration other than the reflector 46 is the same as that of the light emitting section 12 shown in FIG.
 具体的には、導光部22内に、光源21の周囲および光出射方向(前方)を囲むように、略半球状の反射板46が形成されている。反射板46は、例えば、金属製の板、または、表面に金属膜が成膜された樹脂製の板等で構成される。光源21から出射された光が反射板46で全反射することで、光源21の光を前方へ効率的に出力させることができる。 Specifically, a substantially hemispherical reflecting plate 46 is formed in the light guide section 22 so as to surround the light source 21 and the light emitting direction (forward). The reflector 46 is configured by, for example, a metal plate or a resin plate having a metal film formed on the surface thereof. Since the light emitted from the light source 21 is totally reflected by the reflector 46, the light from the light source 21 can be efficiently output forward.
 図4のAないしCの発光部12は、図1で示した発光部12の構成に、配光制御部41、光反射部42、強度強化部43、高屈折率層45、または、反射板46の少なくとも一つをさらに追加した構成であるが、図3のAないしCに示した形状の導光部22に対しても同様に追加できることは言うまでもない。また、導光部22の平面形状が、図2のAないしCのいずれの形状であっても同じく適用することができる。図4のAないしCの配光制御部41、光反射部42、強度強化部43、高屈折率層45、および、反射板46の複数を適宜組み合わせて配置してもよい。 4A to 4C has a configuration of the light emitting unit 12 shown in FIG. 46 is further added, it goes without saying that it can be similarly added to the light guide portions 22 having the shapes shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C. Also, the planar shape of the light guide portion 22 can be similarly applied even if it is any shape of A to C in FIG. 2 . A plurality of light distribution control portions 41, light reflecting portions 42, strength enhancing portions 43, high refractive index layers 45, and reflecting plates 46 shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C may be appropriately combined and arranged.
<3.表示装置の製造方法>
 次に、図5を参照して、表示装置1の製造方法について説明する。
<3. Method for manufacturing display device>
Next, a method for manufacturing the display device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
 初めに、図5のAに示されるように、光源21が基板11の所定の位置に実装される。図5は、1つの光源21に注目して示した図であるが、実際には、上述したように、複数の光源21が所定の配置ピッチP1またはP2で基板11に実装される。 First, the light source 21 is mounted at a predetermined position on the substrate 11 as shown in FIG. 5A. FIG. 5 is a diagram focusing on one light source 21, but in reality, as described above, a plurality of light sources 21 are mounted on the substrate 11 at a predetermined arrangement pitch P1 or P2.
 次に、図5のBに示されるように、光源21の周囲に導光部22が、例えばエポキシ樹脂などにより形成される。導光部22は、例えば、上部S2から底部S1へ向かうに従って側壁が外側に拡がるテーパ形状にモールド成形される。光源21の周囲に導光部22が形成されたことにより、発光部12が完成する。光反射部42や強度強化部43を形成する場合には、導光部22を形成する前の基板11上面や、導光部22を形成した後の側壁に、光反射部42や強度強化部43が形成される。また、配光制御部41を形成する場合には、導光部22が形成された後、その上部S2に配光制御部41が形成される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, a light guide portion 22 is formed around the light source 21 using, for example, epoxy resin. The light guide portion 22 is molded, for example, in a tapered shape in which side walls widen outward from the top portion S2 toward the bottom portion S1. By forming the light guide portion 22 around the light source 21, the light emitting portion 12 is completed. When forming the light reflecting portion 42 and the strength enhancing portion 43, the light reflecting portion 42 and the strength enhancing portion are formed on the upper surface of the substrate 11 before the light guide portion 22 is formed and on the side wall after the light guide portion 22 is formed. 43 are formed. Moreover, when forming the light distribution control part 41, after the light guide part 22 is formed, the light distribution control part 41 is formed in the upper part S2.
 次に、図5のCに示されるように、ローラ51など部材で機械式に加飾層13を基板11に押し付けることにより、基板11の上面に、加飾層13が貼り合わされる。加飾層13の裏面(基板11側の下面)および基板11の上面の少なくとも一方または両方には、粘着層が設けられている。貼り合わせ前の加飾層13には、特に開口部(穴)は設けられておらず、加飾層13が基板11の上面に貼り合わされることにより、発光部12の導光部22が加飾層13を貫通して、図1に示した断面構造が完成する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 5C, the decoration layer 13 is attached to the upper surface of the substrate 11 by mechanically pressing the decoration layer 13 against the substrate 11 with a member such as a roller 51 . An adhesive layer is provided on at least one or both of the rear surface of the decorative layer 13 (lower surface on the substrate 11 side) and the upper surface of the substrate 11 . The decoration layer 13 before bonding is not particularly provided with openings (holes). The cross-sectional structure shown in FIG. 1 is completed through the decorative layer 13 .
 加飾層13の裏面と基板11上面の粘着強度は剥がせる程度の強度とし、加飾層13は貼り替え可能とされる。 The adhesive strength between the back surface of the decorative layer 13 and the top surface of the substrate 11 is set to a level that allows them to be peeled off, and the decorative layer 13 can be replaced.
 図6および図7を参照して、図5のCに対応する、加飾層13と基板11を貼り合わせる工程のその他の方法を説明する。 Another method of bonding the decorative layer 13 and the substrate 11, corresponding to C in FIG. 5, will be described with reference to FIGS.
 例えば、図6のAに示されるように、ドライヤ52の温風で上側から下方へ加圧することで加飾層13と基板11を貼り合わせたり、図6のBに示されるように、加飾層13と基板11との間を真空吸着することにより、加飾層13と基板11を貼り合わせる方法を採用することができる。 For example, as shown in A of FIG. 6, the decorative layer 13 and the substrate 11 are bonded together by applying pressure from the upper side to the lower side with hot air from a dryer 52, or as shown in B of FIG. A method of bonding the decorative layer 13 and the substrate 11 together by vacuum suction between the layer 13 and the substrate 11 can be employed.
 また、図6のCに示されるように、加飾層13に接着されたマグネット53Nと、基板11に接着されたマグネット53Sとにより、加飾層13と基板11を貼り合わせる方法を採用してもよい。この場合、マグネット53Nおよび53Sの配置密度は、光源21の配置密度よりも疎な密度とすることができる。すなわち、マグネット53Nおよび53Sの平面方向の配置ピッチは、光源21の配置ピッチP1またはP2よりも大きく設定することができる。 Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6C, a method is adopted in which the decorative layer 13 and the substrate 11 are bonded together by a magnet 53N adhered to the decorative layer 13 and a magnet 53S adhered to the substrate 11. good too. In this case, the arrangement density of the magnets 53N and 53S can be made less dense than the arrangement density of the light sources 21. FIG. That is, the arrangement pitch of the magnets 53N and 53S in the planar direction can be set larger than the arrangement pitch P1 or P2 of the light source 21. FIG.
 また、図7に示されるように、発光部12に対応する位置が凹んだ治具54で、加飾層13の上側から基板11方向へ押し付けることにより、加飾層13と基板11を貼り合わせてもよい。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the decoration layer 13 and the substrate 11 are bonded together by pressing the decoration layer 13 from the upper side toward the substrate 11 with a jig 54 having a concave portion corresponding to the light emitting portion 12 . may
 上述した各種の製造方法の例では、光源21を基板11上に実装した後で、導光部22を形成したが、導光部22が光源21と一体にパッケージ化された発光部12を用いることもできる。一般にSMD(Surface Mount Device)と呼ばれる表面実装型の発光ダイオード(LED)が、このようなパッケージ化された発光部12に相当する。 In the examples of the various manufacturing methods described above, the light guide portion 22 is formed after the light source 21 is mounted on the substrate 11. However, the light emitting portion 12 in which the light guide portion 22 is integrally packaged with the light source 21 is used. can also A surface-mounted light-emitting diode (LED) generally called an SMD (Surface Mount Device) corresponds to such a packaged light-emitting unit 12 .
 図8は、光源21と導光部22が一体にパッケージ化された発光部12を用いる場合の表示装置1の製造方法を説明する図である。 FIG. 8 is a diagram explaining a method of manufacturing the display device 1 when using the light emitting section 12 in which the light source 21 and the light guide section 22 are integrally packaged.
 初めに、図8のAおよびBに示されるように、基板11の所定の位置に、パッケージ化された発光部12が実装される。発光部12の配置ピッチP1またはP2などは、上述した製造方法と同様である。 First, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the packaged light-emitting portion 12 is mounted at a predetermined position on the substrate 11 . The arrangement pitch P1 or P2 of the light emitting units 12 is the same as in the manufacturing method described above.
 次に、図8のCに示されるように、ローラ51などの部材で機械式に加飾層13を基板11に押し付けることにより、基板11の上面に、加飾層13が貼り合わされる。貼り合わせ前の加飾層13には、特に開口部(穴)は設けられておらず、加飾層13が基板11の上面に貼り合わされることにより、発光部12の導光部22が加飾層13を貫通し、図1に示した断面構造が完成する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 8C, the decoration layer 13 is attached to the upper surface of the substrate 11 by mechanically pressing the decoration layer 13 against the substrate 11 with a member such as a roller 51. The decoration layer 13 before bonding is not particularly provided with openings (holes). The decoration layer 13 is penetrated, and the cross-sectional structure shown in FIG. 1 is completed.
 導光部22が光源21と一体にパッケージ化された発光部12を用いた場合には、導光部22を形成する工程が省略できるので、表示装置1をより簡単に製造することができる。 When the light guide part 22 uses the light emitting part 12 packaged integrally with the light source 21, the process of forming the light guide part 22 can be omitted, so the display device 1 can be manufactured more easily.
 上述した各種の製造方法によれば、貼り合わせ前の加飾層13には、貼り合わせ後の発光部12の位置に開口部は設けられておらず、加飾層13を貼り合わせることにより導光部22が加飾層13を貫通することで、加飾層13に対して所定の配置ピッチP1またはP2で発光部12が配置された構造の表示装置1が製造される。 According to the various manufacturing methods described above, the decoration layer 13 before bonding is not provided with an opening at the position of the light-emitting part 12 after bonding, and the decoration layer 13 is bonded to the light-emitting portion 12 so that the light-emitting portion 12 is guided. The display device 1 having a structure in which the light emitting sections 12 are arranged at a predetermined arrangement pitch P1 or P2 with respect to the decorating layer 13 is manufactured by having the light sections 22 pass through the decorating layer 13 .
 加飾層13には、発光部12が挿入される位置に開口部を予め設ける必要がないので、加飾層13を表示装置1専用に加工する必要がない。加飾層13に事前の加工が不要であるため、加飾層13として一般の加飾材を活用することもでき、表示装置1を低コストで実現できる。 Since the decorative layer 13 does not need to have openings in advance at positions where the light-emitting portions 12 are inserted, the decorative layer 13 does not need to be processed specifically for the display device 1 . Since the decoration layer 13 does not need to be processed in advance, a general decoration material can be used as the decoration layer 13, and the display device 1 can be realized at low cost.
 また、加飾層13には開口部がないので、貼り合わせをする際、発光部12との位置合わせが不要となるので、簡単に貼り合わせることができる。発光部12の位置に対応して加飾層13に開口部を設けておき、位置合わせをしながら、基板11に加飾層13を貼り合わせる製造方法の場合、仮に位置ずれが発生した場合には、光源21からの光を遮る部分が発生するため、視野角が狭くなってしまう。視野角悪化を防止するため、マージンを持たせて開口部を大きめに形成すると、加飾層13の自然な視認性が損なわれる。 In addition, since the decorative layer 13 has no openings, it is not necessary to align it with the light-emitting part 12, so that it can be easily attached. In the case of a manufacturing method in which an opening is provided in the decorative layer 13 corresponding to the position of the light-emitting portion 12 and the decorative layer 13 is adhered to the substrate 11 while aligning the position, even if misalignment occurs, , there is a portion that blocks the light from the light source 21, resulting in a narrow viewing angle. In order to prevent deterioration of the viewing angle, the natural visibility of the decorative layer 13 is impaired if the opening is formed with a large margin.
 表示装置1の製造方法によれば、加飾層13には事前の開口部がなく、加飾層13に対して導光部22を貫通させることで加飾層13に開口部を形成するので、発光部12のサイズに対して開口部のマージンがなく、表示装置1の表示面における発光部12の面積比を小さくすることができ、加飾層13の視認性を向上させることができる。 According to the manufacturing method of the display device 1 , the decoration layer 13 does not have an opening in advance, and the opening is formed in the decoration layer 13 by penetrating the light guide part 22 through the decoration layer 13 . Since there is no opening margin for the size of the light emitting part 12, the area ratio of the light emitting part 12 to the display surface of the display device 1 can be reduced, and the visibility of the decorative layer 13 can be improved.
 また、位置ずれも発生しないので、加飾層13による光のケラレによる視野角特性の低下を防止することができる。 Also, since positional deviation does not occur, it is possible to prevent deterioration of viewing angle characteristics due to vignetting of light by the decorative layer 13 .
 加飾層13には事前の開口部がないため、加飾層13を貫通した発光部12の周辺を拡大すると、図9のように、導光部22の貫通により開口した加飾層13の端部(切り口)がめくれ上がる形で導光部22の周囲を覆う状態となる。このめくれ上がった導光部22の周囲の加飾層13の変形部分が、加飾層13から突き出た導光部22の周辺を保護する保護部としても機能する。 Since the decorative layer 13 does not have a pre-opening portion, when the periphery of the light emitting portion 12 penetrating the decorative layer 13 is enlarged, as shown in FIG. The periphery of the light guide section 22 is covered with the edge (cut) turned up. The deformed portion of the decorative layer 13 around the light guide portion 22 that is turned up also functions as a protective portion that protects the periphery of the light guide portion 22 protruding from the decorative layer 13 .
 なお、上述した例では、加飾層13には事前の開口部を設けないこととしたが、発光部12のサイズに対応した開口部、具体的には、発光部12のサイズ(例えば上部S2のサイズ)以上の開口はないが、それより小さい開口はあってもよい。例えば、貫通を補助する貫通補助部として、発光部12のサイズの1/2ないし1/10程度の小さい穴を均等なピッチで設けてもよい。貫通補助部があることにより、加飾層13を貼り合わせる際に、導光部22の貫通を行いやすくする効果を持たせることができる。貫通補助部は、開口(穴)ではなく、窪みや、十字の切込みなどでもよい。 In the above-described example, the decoration layer 13 was not provided with an opening in advance, but an opening corresponding to the size of the light emitting unit 12, specifically, the size of the light emitting unit 12 (for example, the upper part S2 size), but there may be smaller openings. For example, small holes about 1/2 to 1/10 the size of the light-emitting portion 12 may be provided at a uniform pitch as a penetration assisting portion that assists penetration. The presence of the penetration assisting portion can have the effect of facilitating the penetration of the light guide portion 22 when the decorative layer 13 is adhered. The penetration assisting portion may be a recess, a cross-shaped notch, or the like, instead of an opening (hole).

FIG. 10 is a perspective external view showing another embodiment of the display device according to the present disclosure.
 図1の表示装置1は、それ単体で、大きなディスプレイサイズを有するように形成することもできるが、図10に示されるように、単体では一定程度の小型のディスプレイサイズを有する表示装置1で構成し、その小型の表示装置1を2次元マトリクス状に複数配列することで、大きなディスプレイサイズを有する表示装置100を実現してもよい。 The display device 1 shown in FIG. 1 can be formed by itself to have a large display size, but as shown in FIG. However, by arranging a plurality of small display devices 1 in a two-dimensional matrix, the display device 100 having a large display size may be realized.
 換言すれば、図10の表示装置100は、図1の表示装置1を表示装置ユニットとして、2次元マトリクス状に複数配列して構成される。表示装置100は、表示装置1をタイル状に複数配列して構成され、一つの映像を表示する。各表示装置1は、複数配列された他の表示装置1と連携して一つの映像の一部を表示する。 In other words, the display device 100 in FIG. 10 is configured by arranging a plurality of display devices 1 in FIG. 1 in a two-dimensional matrix as display device units.

In the example of FIG. 10, the display device 100 is configured by arranging 4×3=12 display devices 1, four in the vertical direction (Y direction) and three in the horizontal direction (X direction). , the number of display devices 1 to be tiled is arbitrary, and the display size is scalable.
 表示装置100(表示装置1)の正面が、加飾層13が貼られた表示面であり、所定の配置ピッチで実装された複数の発光部12が発光した時には、映像による所定の情報が表示される。一方、複数の発光部12の非発光時には、表示装置100は、加飾層13による所定の意匠を視認させることができる。 The front of the display device 100 (display device 1) is the display surface to which the decorative layer 13 is attached, and when the plurality of light emitting units 12 mounted at a predetermined arrangement pitch emit light, predetermined information is displayed in the form of images. be done. On the other hand, when the plurality of light-emitting portions 12 do not emit light, the display device 100 allows the predetermined design by the decorative layer 13 to be visually recognized.
