背光模块 Backlight module

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种背光模块,且特别是有关于一种可提高整体亮度的背光模块。The invention relates to a backlight module, and in particular to a backlight module capable of improving overall brightness.

背景技术Background technique

一般来说,液晶显示装置通常包含了液晶显示面板与背光模块,其中背光模块主要是用来提供液晶显示面板在进行显示时所需的面光源。Generally speaking, a liquid crystal display device usually includes a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight module, wherein the backlight module is mainly used to provide a surface light source required by the liquid crystal display panel when displaying.

图1为公知一种背光模块的俯视示意图,其中为了方便说明,图1仅绘示背光模块内的发光二极管与导光板的相对位置,并未绘示位于导光板上下的光学膜片。请参考图1,背光模块100包含有多个发光二极管110以及一导光板120。导光板120具有长边与短边,而发光二极管110通常是排列于导光板120的长边或短边以作为背光模块100的发光源,其中图1绘示发光二极管110排列于导光板120的短边,换言之,此短边即为导光板120的一入光面122。FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of a known backlight module. For convenience of illustration, FIG. 1 only shows the relative positions of the light emitting diodes in the backlight module and the light guide plate, and does not show the optical films located above and below the light guide plate. Please refer to FIG. 1 , the backlight module 100 includes a plurality of LEDs 110 and a light guide plate 120 . The light guide plate 120 has long sides and short sides, and the light emitting diodes 110 are usually arranged on the long side or the short side of the light guide plate 120 as the light source of the backlight module 100, wherein FIG. 1 shows that the light emitting diodes 110 are arranged on the light guide plate 120 The short side, in other words, the short side is a light incident surface 122 of the light guide plate 120 .

每一发光二极管110具有一光发射面112与一垂直光发射面112的一光轴114。详细而言,发光二极管110配置于导光板120的短边的排列方式通常为直线平行分布,即每一发光二极管110的光轴112为相互平行,如图1所示。Each LED 110 has a light emitting surface 112 and an optical axis 114 perpendicular to the light emitting surface 112 . In detail, the arrangement of the light emitting diodes 110 arranged on the short side of the light guide plate 120 is generally arranged in parallel to straight lines, that is, the optical axes 112 of each light emitting diode 110 are parallel to each other, as shown in FIG. 1 .

由于发光二极管110的发光角度通常约为110度,且发光二极管110配置于导光板120的短边的排列方式如图1所示,因此,发光二极管110提供的光线于导光板内的折射次数会较低,且入射于导光板120的光路径也会随着接近导光板120的边缘而易于散射导光板120之外,进而降低发光二极管110的光线利用率。如此一来,背光模块100的整体亮度将不易得到提升。Since the light-emitting angle of the light-emitting diodes 110 is usually about 110 degrees, and the arrangement of the light-emitting diodes 110 on the short side of the light guide plate 120 is shown in FIG. The light path is relatively low, and the light path incident on the light guide plate 120 will easily scatter out of the light guide plate 120 as it approaches the edge of the light guide plate 120 , thereby reducing the light utilization efficiency of the light emitting diodes 110 . In this way, the overall brightness of the backlight module 100 will not be easily improved.

For the convenience of illustration, FIG. 2A only shows the relative positions of the light-emitting elements of the backlight module and the light guide plate, and does not show the films positioned above and below the light guide plate. Please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B at the same time. The backlight module 200 of this embodiment includes a light guide plate 210 and a plurality of light emitting elements 220 . The light guide plate 210 has a light incident surface 212 and a light exit surface 214, wherein the light exit surface 214 has a visible area 214a. The light-emitting elements 220 are disposed on the light-incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210, wherein each light-emitting element 220 has a light-emitting surface 222 and an optical axis 224 perpendicular to the light-emitting surface 222, and these optical axes 224 roughly intersect in the visible direction. The center point C1 of the area 214a.

在本实施例中,来自发光元件220的光线适于从入光面212入射至导光板210的内部,并于其中多次折射后再由出光面214出射。另外,发光元件220例如是采用发光二极管,其中发光二极管的种类可以是侧射发光或顶部发光,端视使用者的设计与需求而定。另外,发光元件220所发出的多道光线通常大多垂直发光元件220的光发射面222,其中位于光发射面222中央为光强度最强的位置,而常称为光轴。因此,本实施例的光轴224可定义为光发射面222的中央位置。In this embodiment, the light from the light-emitting element 220 is adapted to enter the light guide plate 210 from the light-incident surface 212 , refract therein multiple times, and then exit the light-emitting surface 214 . In addition, the light-emitting element 220 is, for example, a light-emitting diode, wherein the type of the light-emitting diode can be side-emitting or top-emitting, depending on the user's design and requirements. In addition, the multiple rays of light emitted by the light-emitting element 220 are generally perpendicular to the light-emitting surface 222 of the light-emitting element 220 , and the center of the light-emitting surface 222 is the position with the strongest light intensity, which is often called the optical axis. Therefore, the optical axis 224 of this embodiment can be defined as the central position of the light emitting surface 222 .

在本实施例中,导光板210的入光面212上设置有奇数个发光元件220,如图2A所示。详细而言,导光板210的入光面212上设置有2n+1个发光元件220,且n为大于零的整数。此外,可视区214a在水平方向P1具有一宽度X且在垂直方向P2具有一长度Y。在本实施例中,每一发光元件220的光轴224与可视区214a的垂直方向P2之间具有一夹角θm,其中夹角θm定义为:In this embodiment, an odd number of light emitting elements 220 are disposed on the light incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210 , as shown in FIG. 2A . In detail, 2n+1 light emitting elements 220 are disposed on the light incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210 , and n is an integer greater than zero. In addition, the viewable area 214a has a width X in the horizontal direction P1 and a length Y in the vertical direction P2. In this embodiment, there is an included angle θ m between the optical axis 224 of each light emitting element 220 and the vertical direction P2 of the visible area 214a, wherein the included angle θ m is defined as:

&theta;&theta; mm == tanthe tan -- 11 || (( (( 22 mm ++ &sigma;&sigma; )) Xx (( 22 nno ++ 11 )) YY )) || ,,

m为0~n的整数,而-1<σ<1。另外,需说明的是,θ0代表位于多个发光元件220的排序最中间的发光元件220其光轴与可视区214a的垂直方向P2之间夹角。m is an integer of 0 to n, and -1<σ<1. In addition, it should be noted that θ 0 represents the angle between the optical axis of the light-emitting element 220 located in the middle of the plurality of light-emitting elements 220 and the vertical direction P2 of the visible area 214 a.

另外,可视区214a在垂直方向P2上具有一中心线L1,且沿水平方向P1每一发光元件220与中心线L1之间具有一距离dm为,其中dm定义为:In addition, the visible area 214a has a centerline L1 in the vertical direction P2, and there is a distance dm between each light emitting element 220 and the centerline L1 along the horizontal direction P1, where dm is defined as:

dd mm == || (( 11 ++ 22 aa YY )) (( mm ++ &sigma;&sigma; )) Xx 22 nno ++ 11 ||

m为0~n的正整数,-0.5<σ<0.5,且a定义为导光板210的入光面212至可视区214a的边缘的距离,此处入光面212指的是平行可视区214a边缘的平面。m is a positive integer from 0 to n, -0.5<σ<0.5, and a is defined as the distance from the light incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210 to the edge of the visible area 214a, where the light incident surface 212 refers to the parallel visible The plane of the edge of region 214a.

承上述结构,若宽度X小于长度Y,则代表发光元件220是以导光板210的短边入射,且因发光元件220是采用上述的条件设置于导光板210的入光面212上,如此,将可提高发光元件220所提供的光线于导光板210内的折射次数。在本实施例中,于宽度X小于长度Y的情况下,发光元件220采用上述的配置方式将可提升入射于导光板210内部的光线的折射次数,且相较于采用公知技术的配置方式至少可提升至8.1%。Based on the above structure, if the width X is smaller than the length Y, it means that the light-emitting element 220 is incident on the short side of the light guide plate 210, and because the light-emitting element 220 is arranged on the light incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210 using the above-mentioned conditions, so, The number of refractions of the light provided by the light emitting element 220 in the light guide plate 210 can be increased. In this embodiment, when the width X is smaller than the length Y, the arrangement of the light-emitting element 220 can increase the number of refractions of the light incident inside the light guide plate 210, and compared with the arrangement of the known technology, it can at least Can be raised to 8.1%.

此外,若宽度X大于长度Y,则代表发光元件220是以导光板210的长边入射,同样地,若发光元件220采用上述的条件设置于导光板210的入光面212时,则可提升入射于导光板210内部的光线的折射次数,且相较于采用公知技术的配置方式至少可提升至50.9%以上。In addition, if the width X is greater than the length Y, it means that the light-emitting element 220 is incident on the long side of the light guide plate 210. The refraction times of the light incident inside the light guide plate 210 can be increased to at least 50.9% compared with the arrangement using the known technology.

换言之,无论发光元件220所提供的光线是从导光板210的长边或短边入射,只要每一发光元件220的光轴224大致相交于可视区214a的中心点C1,且每一发光元件220可采用上述的条件设置于导光板210的入光面212时,则可提升光线于导光板210内部的折射次数,进而提升出光面214的整体亮度。另外,本发明的每一发光元件220的光轴222大致相交的设置概念,亦可有效改善导光板210的可视区214a周围亮暗带的问题,可减少亮暗带的差异与提高光线均匀性。In other words, no matter whether the light provided by the light-emitting elements 220 is incident from the long side or the short side of the light guide plate 210, as long as the optical axis 224 of each light-emitting element 220 roughly intersects at the center point C1 of the visible area 214a, and each light-emitting element When the 220 can be installed on the light incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210 under the above conditions, the number of refractions of light inside the light guide plate 210 can be increased, thereby increasing the overall brightness of the light exit surface 214 . In addition, the installation concept that the optical axes 222 of each light-emitting element 220 roughly intersect each other in the present invention can also effectively improve the problem of bright and dark bands around the visible area 214a of the light guide plate 210, reduce the difference between bright and dark bands and improve the uniformity of light sex.

在本实施例中,导光板210的入光面212上具有多个凹槽216,且每一凹槽216内放置有一个发光元件220,如图2A所示。其中,这些凹槽216分别具有一倾斜角度(未标示),且越靠近导光板210的中心线L1的凹槽216的倾斜角度越小。此倾斜角度的大小与上述的夹角θm可实质上相同。凹槽216可作为发光元件220组装定位结构。In this embodiment, the light incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210 has a plurality of grooves 216 , and a light emitting element 220 is disposed in each groove 216 , as shown in FIG. 2A . Wherein, the grooves 216 respectively have an inclination angle (not shown), and the inclination angles of the grooves 216 are smaller as they are closer to the central line L1 of the light guide plate 210 . The magnitude of the inclination angle may be substantially the same as the above-mentioned included angle θ m . The groove 216 can be used as an assembly positioning structure for the light emitting element 220 .

另外,背光模块200更包括一光学膜片组230以及一反射片240,如图2B所示。在本实施例中,光学膜片组230设置于导光板210的出光面214的上方,而反射片240设置于导光板210的出光面214对向侧的表面上。光学膜片组230可为扩散片、增光片、均匀片与复合式光学片至少其一。另外,本实施例的导光板210是以楔形导光板为例来说明,但本发明不限于此种导光板。In addition, the backlight module 200 further includes an optical film set 230 and a reflective sheet 240 , as shown in FIG. 2B . In this embodiment, the optical film set 230 is disposed above the light emitting surface 214 of the light guide plate 210 , and the reflective sheet 240 is disposed on the surface of the light guide plate 210 opposite to the light emitting surface 214 . The optical film set 230 can be at least one of a diffusion film, a brightness enhancement film, a uniform film and a composite optical film. In addition, the light guide plate 210 of this embodiment is described by taking a wedge-shaped light guide plate as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this kind of light guide plate.

Similarly, for the convenience of illustration, FIG. 3 only shows the relative positions of the light-emitting elements of the backlight module and the light guide plate, and does not show the films positioned above and below the light guide plate. Please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 3 at the same time. The backlight module 300 of this embodiment is similar to the backlight module 200, but the difference between the two is that the arrangement of the light emitting elements 210 of the backlight module 300 is slightly different from that of the backlight module 200. The details are as follows.

在背光模块300中,导光板210的入光面212上设置有偶数个发光元件220,如图3所示。详细而言,导光板210的入光面212上设置有2n个发光元件220,且n为大于零的正整数。此外,可视区214a在水平方向P1具有一宽度X且在垂直方向P2具有一长度Y。在本实施例中,每一发光元件220的光轴224与可视区214a的垂直方向P2之间具有一夹角θm,其中本实施例的夹角θm定义为:In the backlight module 300 , an even number of light emitting elements 220 are disposed on the light incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210 , as shown in FIG. 3 . In detail, 2n light emitting elements 220 are disposed on the light incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210 , and n is a positive integer greater than zero. In addition, the viewable area 214a has a width X in the horizontal direction P1 and a length Y in the vertical direction P2. In this embodiment, there is an included angle θ m between the optical axis 224 of each light emitting element 220 and the vertical direction P2 of the visible area 214a, wherein the included angle θ m in this embodiment is defined as:

&theta; m = tan - 1 | ( ( ( 2 m - 1 ) + &sigma; ) X 2 nY ) | , 且θm≠0 &theta; m = the tan - 1 | ( ( ( 2 m - 1 ) + &sigma; ) x 2 n ) | , And θ m ≠0

m为1~n的正整数,而-0.5<σ<0.5。m is a positive integer of 1 to n, and -0.5<σ<0.5.

同样地,可视区214a在垂直方向P2上具有一中心线L1,且沿水平方向P1每一发光元件220与中心线L1之间具有一距离dm为,其中本实施例的dm定义为:Similarly, the visible area 214a has a centerline L1 in the vertical direction P2, and there is a distance dm between each light emitting element 220 and the centerline L1 along the horizontal direction P1, wherein dm in this embodiment is defined as :

d m = | ( 1 + 2 a Y ) ( ( 2 m - 1 ) + &sigma; ) X 4 n | , 且dm≠0 d m = | ( 1 + 2 a Y ) ( ( 2 m - 1 ) + &sigma; ) x 4 no | , and d m ≠0

而m为1~n的正整数,a为导光板210的入光面212至可视区214a的边缘的距离,此处入光面212指的是平行可视区214a边缘的平面,且-1<σ<1。And m is a positive integer from 1 to n, a is the distance from the incident surface 212 of the light guide plate 210 to the edge of the visible area 214a, where the incident surface 212 refers to a plane parallel to the edge of the visible area 214a, and- 1<σ<1.

承上述可知,因背光模块300的发光元件220的数量为偶数个,因此,发光元件220设置于入光面212上的条件同样跟着改变,例如夹角θm、距离dm等参数。且,虽然夹角θm、距离dm会跟着发光元件220的数量而作调整,然而,与上述背光模块200相同的是,每一发光元件220的光轴224同样是大致相交于可视区214a的中心点C1,如图3所示。From the above, it can be seen that since the number of light emitting elements 220 of the backlight module 300 is an even number, the conditions for disposing the light emitting elements 220 on the light incident surface 212 also change accordingly, such as parameters such as angle θ m and distance d m . Moreover, although the included angle θ m and the distance d m will be adjusted according to the number of light-emitting elements 220, however, the same as the above-mentioned backlight module 200, the optical axis 224 of each light-emitting element 220 also roughly intersects in the visible area The center point C1 of 214a is shown in FIG. 3 .

换言之,本实施例的背光模块300与背光模块200仅为发光元件220的数量不同,其中发光元件220设置于入光面212上的参数条件(如夹角θm、距离dm)会随着发光元件220的数量采用奇数个或偶数个而略作调整,因此,本实施例的背光模块300同样具有背光模块200所提及的优点,在此不再赘述。In other words, the backlight module 300 of this embodiment is different from the backlight module 200 only in the number of light-emitting elements 220, wherein the parameter conditions (such as the included angle θ m , distance d m ) of the light-emitting elements 220 disposed on the light incident surface 212 will vary with the The number of light-emitting elements 220 is slightly adjusted by using an odd number or an even number. Therefore, the backlight module 300 of this embodiment also has the advantages mentioned in the backlight module 200 , which will not be repeated here.

综上所述,本发明的背光模块至少具有下列优点。首先,每一发光元件的光轴会大致相交于可视区的中心点,如此一来,发光元件所提供的光线会较集中于可视区内,进而可提升出光面的整体亮度,且位于导光板边缘的发光元件所提供的光线亦较不易散射导光板之外。另外,针对不同数量的发光元件(如奇数个或偶数个),发光元件设置于入光面上的参数条件(如夹角θm、距离dm)也可跟着调整,以提升入射于导光板内的光线的折射次数,进而可进一步提升背光模块的整体亮度。另外,可改善可视区画面因光源分布不均所造成的亮暗带现象。To sum up, the backlight module of the present invention has at least the following advantages. Firstly, the optical axis of each light-emitting element will roughly intersect at the center point of the visible area. In this way, the light provided by the light-emitting element will be more concentrated in the visible area, thereby improving the overall brightness of the light-emitting surface, and located at The light provided by the light emitting elements at the edge of the light guide plate is also less likely to scatter out of the light guide plate. In addition, for different numbers of light-emitting elements (such as odd or even numbers), the parameter conditions (such as angle θ m , distance d m ) of light-emitting elements disposed on the light-incident surface can also be adjusted accordingly, so as to improve the incident light on the light guide plate. The refraction times of the light inside can further improve the overall brightness of the backlight module. In addition, it can improve the phenomenon of bright and dark bands caused by uneven distribution of light sources in the visual area.

当然,本发明还可有其它多种实施例,在不背离本发明精神及其实质的情况下,熟悉本领域的技术人员当可根据本发明作出各种相应的改变和变形,但这些相应的改变和变形都应属于本发明所附的权利要求的保护范围。Certainly, the present invention also can have other multiple embodiments, without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and deformations according to the present invention, but these corresponding Changes and deformations should belong to the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.
