Description
【技术领域】【Technical field】
本发明是有关于一种光学元件与光源,且特别是有关于一种导光板与光源模组。The invention relates to an optical element and a light source, and in particular to a light guide plate and a light source module.
【背景技术】【Background technique】
现有侧边入光式光源模组是利用导光板将配置于导光板旁的发光元件所发出的光束导引至导光板的正面,以形成面光源。一般而言,当发光元件所发出的光束经由导光板的侧面进入导光板后,会不断地被导光板的上、下表面全反射,而被局限于导光板中。然而,设于导光板的表面之微结构则可破坏全反射,以使光束以小于临界角的角度入射上表面,并穿透上表面。In the existing side light source module, the light guide plate is used to guide the light beam emitted by the light-emitting element disposed beside the light guide plate to the front of the light guide plate to form a surface light source. Generally speaking, when the light beam emitted by the light-emitting element enters the light guide plate through the side of the light guide plate, it will be continuously totally reflected by the upper and lower surfaces of the light guide plate, and be confined in the light guide plate. However, the microstructures on the surface of the light guide plate can destroy the total reflection, so that the light beam enters the upper surface at an angle smaller than the critical angle and penetrates the upper surface.
虽然微结构可达到破坏全反射的效果,但经过微结构的作用的大部分光束为斜向出射导光板的上表面,而不是从上表面正向出射。为了使光束正向出射,现有光源模组的导光板的上表面上通常会配置棱镜片,以将光束的行进方向导向接近于正上方的方向。此外,棱镜片会将部分行进角度的光束全反射回导光板而再次利用光束。然而,当光束多通过一片棱镜片及将光束全反射回导光板时皆会造成光损耗,而使光源模组所能提供的亮度降低。Although the microstructure can achieve the effect of destroying total reflection, most of the light beams affected by the microstructure exit obliquely from the upper surface of the light guide plate instead of forwardly exiting from the upper surface. In order to make the light beams exit in the forward direction, a prism sheet is usually disposed on the upper surface of the light guide plate of the existing light source module to guide the light beams in a direction close to directly above. In addition, the prism sheet will totally reflect a part of the light beam at the traveling angle back to the light guide plate to reuse the light beam. However, when the light beam passes through one more prism sheet and the light beam is totally reflected back to the light guide plate, light loss will be caused, and the brightness provided by the light source module will be reduced.

The first and second annular microstructures have different bottom widths. The microstructure can be located on the lower surface of the light guide plate. US Patent No. 6454452 discloses that the bottom surface of the light guide plate has a wedge-shaped groove, wherein the angle between the slope of the groove and the bottom surface can be 43 degrees, 45 degrees and 47 degrees. China Taiwan Patent No. M321111 discloses a light guide plate with a microstructure arranged in a certain order. US Patent No. 6612722 discloses a light guide plate with microstructures.

此外,在本实施例中,弯曲状凹槽242、弯曲状倾斜反射面243及弯曲状侧面245在实质上平行于第一表面210的方向上弯曲。如此一来,弯曲状倾斜反射面243所反射的光束112便能够在平行于第一表面210的方向上展开,而不会局限在特定的某一方向。此外,在本实施例中,弯曲状倾斜反射面243在沿着垂直于第一表面210的方向上切开后所得的截线亦呈弯曲状(如图1A所绘示),如此可使光束112在垂直于第一表面210的平面上展开,而不会局限在特定的某一方向。由于弯曲状倾斜反射面243可使光束展开,因此由第一表面210出射的光束112可具有较为平滑的光分布,且可符合较广视角的需求,而适于用来作为液晶显示面板的背光源,或作为其他对平滑光分布或较广视角有需求的照明。然而,在其他实施例中,弯曲状倾斜反射面243在垂直于第一表面210的方向上的截线亦可以呈直线状。In addition, in this embodiment, the
在本实施例中,每一凹槽组240的这些弯曲状凹槽242的这些弯曲状倾斜反射面243相对于第一表面210的平均倾斜角θ实质上不相同,举例而言,弯曲状凹槽242a、242b、242c的倾斜反射面243的平均倾斜角θ1、θ2、θ3彼此互不相等。由于弯曲状倾斜反射面243在垂直于第一表面210的方向上的截线呈弯曲状(如图1A所绘示的弯曲状截线),因此在此截线上的不同点上的切线方向相对于第一表面210的倾斜角亦可能不同。平均倾斜角的定义为将此截线上的每一点上的切线方向相对于第一表面210的倾斜角相加后,再除以这些截线上的点之个数。由于平均倾斜角θ1、θ2、θ3互不相等,因此被弯曲状凹槽242a、242b、242c的弯曲状倾斜反射面243所反射的光束112的行进方向亦会在垂直于第一表面210的平面上展开,如此可使出射光束112具有较为平滑的光分布,且符合较广视角的需求。In this embodiment, the average inclination angle θ of the curved inclined
在本实施例中,每一凹槽组240的这些弯曲状凹槽242的这些弯曲状倾斜反射面243相对于第一表面210的平均倾斜角θ依由大至小的顺序归类后,在大小顺序上相邻的任二平均倾斜角θ之差值小于等于10度。举例而言,平均倾斜角θ1、平均倾斜角θ2与平均倾斜角θ3的大小例如为44度、50度及56度,而44度与50度的差值小于等于10度,且50度与56度的差值亦小于等于10度。此外,本发明并不限定平均倾斜角θ1、θ2、θ3的大小是由小到大,其亦可以是由大到小或是随机排列。In this embodiment, after the average inclination angle θ of the curved and inclined
在本实施例中,每一弯曲状倾斜反射面243的平均倾斜角θ为大于等于30度至小于等于60度,如此可使光束210往接近垂直于第一表面210的方向出射。在本实施例中,导光板200的材质为塑胶(例如压克力)。然而,在其他实施例中,导光板200亦可以是玻璃、其他塑胶或其他适当的透光材质。此外,在本实施例中,弯曲状背光侧面245可实质上垂直于第一表面210、接近垂直于第一表面210或相对第一表面210倾斜。In this embodiment, the average inclination angle θ of each curved inclined
每一凹槽组240的这些弯曲状凹槽242a、242b、242c在从曲率中心C所辐射出的径向上的宽度P1、P2、P3可以实质上相等、部分相等或全不相等。此外,每一凹槽组240的这些弯曲状凹槽242a、242b、242c的深度H1、H2、H3亦可以实质上相等,部分相等或全不相等。值得注意的是,本发明不限定每一凹槽组240包含3个弯曲状凹槽242,在其他实施例中,每一凹槽组240亦可以包含2个弯曲状凹槽242或包含4个以上的弯曲状凹槽242。The widths P1 , P2 , P3 of the
此外,在本实施例中,每一凹槽组240的宽度例如为大于等于10微米至小于等于100微米。再者,这些凹槽组240在第二表面220上的分布密度可以经过设计,而使从第一表面210出射的光束112均匀地分布。举例而言,这些凹槽组240的数量密度可从靠近入光面230处往远离入光面230处递增。In addition, in this embodiment, the width of each groove set 240 is, for example, greater than or equal to 10 microns to less than or equal to 100 microns. Moreover, the distribution density of the
在本实施例中,光源模组100更包括一反射单元120,配置于第二表面220上。反射单元120例如为一适于反射光束112的反射片。然而,在其他实施例中,光源模组100亦可以不包括反射单元120。In this embodiment, the
图2为图1A的光源模组的出光分布图,其中第一方向D1为平行于入光面230的方向,而第二方向D2为垂直于入光面230的方向。在本实施例中,第二方向D2亦平行于凹槽组240的这些弯曲状凹槽242之通过曲率中心C的对称平面,但本发明不以此为限。由图2可知,无论在第一方向D1或第二方向D2上的光强度分布均有一定的平滑程度,即随着第一方向D1或第二方向D2上的视角缓慢变化,而没有急剧的变化。如此之光强度分布符合液晶显示器的需求。2 is a light distribution diagram of the light source module in FIG. 1A , wherein the first direction D1 is a direction parallel to the
图3为本发明的另一实施例的光源模组的第二表面的局部放大图。请参照图1A、图1C与图3,本实施例的光源模组与图1A的光源模组类似,而两者的差异如下所述。在本实施例的光源模组中,凹槽组240’的每一弯曲状凹槽242’(例如弯曲状凹槽242a’、242b’、242c’)的弯曲状背光侧面245’位于此弯曲状凹槽242’的弯曲状倾斜反射面243’与此弯曲状凹槽的一曲率中心C’之间。如此的弯曲状倾斜反射面243’的弯曲方向亦可达到使光束112展开的效果。FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the second surface of the light source module according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1A , FIG. 1C and FIG. 3 , the light source module of this embodiment is similar to the light source module of FIG. 1A , and the differences between the two are as follows. In the light source module of this embodiment, the curved backlight side 245' of each curved groove 242' (such as curved grooves 242a', 242b', 242c') of the groove group 240' is located in the curved shape. Between the curved inclined reflective surface 243' of the groove 242' and a center of curvature C' of the curved groove. The curved direction of the curved inclined reflective surface 243' can also achieve the effect of expanding the
图4A为本发明的又一实施例的光源模组的上视示意图,而图4B为图4A的光源模组沿着I-I线的剖面及配置于光源模组上的液晶显示面板的剖面的示意图。请参照图4A与图4B,本实施例的光源模组100i与图1A的光源模组100类似,而两者的差异如下所述。在本实施例的光源模组100i中,每一凹槽组240i的每一弯曲状凹槽242i(例如弯曲状凹槽242ai、242bi、242ci)为一环状凹槽。呈环状的弯曲状槽242i可视为是图3的呈弧状的弯曲状凹槽242’的延伸而绕成一圈所形成。在本实施例中,导光板200i具有二个相对的入光面230(例如入光面230a与230b),且发光元件110可分为发光元件110a与110b,发光元件110a与发光元件110b分别配置于此二入光面230a与230b旁。在本实施例中,光源模组100i更包括一控制单元130,电性连接至发光元件110a与110b,以驱使发光元件110a与110b交替闪烁。换言之,当发光元件110a发出光束112a时,发光元件110b不发出光束112b,且当发光元件110b发出光束112b时,发光元件110a不发出光束112a。4A is a schematic top view of a light source module according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4B is a schematic diagram of a cross section of the light source module of FIG. 4A along line I-I and a cross section of a liquid crystal display panel disposed on the light source module . Please refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B , the
在本实施例中,每一弯曲状倾斜反射面243i的平均倾斜角为大于等于40度至小于等于60度。举例而言,弯曲状凹槽242ai、242bi、242ci的倾斜反射面243i的平均倾斜角θ1’、θ2’、θ3’可以互不相等,但本发明不以此为限。本实施例的光源模组100i上方可配置一液晶面板50以形成一立体显示器。在本实施例中,液晶面板50包括由下而上依序排列的主动元件阵列基板52、液晶层54及对向基板56,其中主动元件阵列基板52例如为薄膜电晶体阵列基板,而对向基板56例如为彩色滤光阵列基板。上述的平均倾斜角的设计可使发光元件110b所发出的光束112b被弯曲状倾斜反射面243i往图4B的左上方反射,而在搭载液晶面板50的影像后传递至使用者的左眼L,且使发光元件110a所发出的光束112a被弯曲状倾斜反射面243i往图4B的右上方反射,而在搭载液晶面板50的影像后传递至使用者的右眼R。借由光束112a与112b交替搭载左眼影像与右眼影像,使用者的大脑中便能够形成立体影像。In this embodiment, the average inclination angle of each curved inclined
图5为本发明的再一实施例的光源模组的剖面及配置于光源模组上的液晶显示面板的剖面的示意图。请参照图5,本实施例的光源模组100j与图4B的光源模组100i类似,而两者的主要差异在于弯曲状倾斜反射面的平均倾斜角的设定不同。在本实施例之光源模组100j中,每一凹槽组240j的每一弯曲状凹槽242j(例如弯曲状凹槽242aj、242bj、242cj)的弯曲状倾斜反射面243j的平均倾斜角θ”为大于等于30度至小于等于50度。如此的平均倾斜角的设定可使发光元件110b所发出的光束112b被弯曲状倾斜反射面243j往图5之右上方反射,而在搭载液晶面板50的影像后传递至使用者的右眼R,且使发光元件110a所发出的光束112a被弯曲状倾斜反射面243j往图5的左上方反射,而在搭载液晶面板50的影像后传递至使用者的左眼L。借由光束112a与112b交替搭载左眼影像与右眼影像,使用者的大脑中便能够形成立体影像。在本实施例中,弯曲状倾斜反射面243j在垂直于第一表面210的方向上的截线为直线,然而在其他实施例中亦可以是曲线。5 is a schematic diagram of a section of a light source module and a section of a liquid crystal display panel disposed on the light source module according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5 , the
综上所述,本发明的实施例可具有下列优点或功效的至少其一。在本发明之实施例的导光板与光源模组中,第二表面上设有弯曲状倾斜反射面,而弯曲状倾斜反射面可将光反射至预期的方向。因此,导光板的第一表面上方的光学膜片的使用量可以减少或不使用光学膜片,如此便可降低光损失及减少成本。In summary, the embodiments of the present invention may have at least one of the following advantages or effects.
