Description of the Related Art Today, a liquid crystal display device having a backlight is used. However, in order to meet the recent market demand for low power consumption, a conventional cold cathode tube is used instead of a conventional cold cathode tube. A technique using a light emitting diode in which the light emission is greatly reduced has been proposed. FIGS. 8 to 10 show a backlight type liquid crystal display device using a light emitting diode (hereinafter, the light emitting diode is referred to as an LED) (see JP-A-10-260404 and JP-A-10-301514).

An arc-shaped notch 13 is formed in the light emission direction of the EDs 11 and 12, and light enters the light guide plate 7 from the notch 13. According to the liquid crystal display device 1 having the above configuration, the LE
While a part of the outgoing light of D11 and D12 is reflected by the reflector 14, the light enters the light guide plate 7 from the notch 13 as shown in FIG. 10 and is reflected by the reflection sheet 8 therein. The light enters the liquid crystal display 3 through the light diffusion sheet 9 and the lens sheet 10. However, in the liquid crystal display device 1, the LEDs 11 and 12 having directivity are arranged at the corners of the light guide plate 7, so that the effective light emitting region 6 is formed.
10, uniform light intensity cannot be obtained over the entire surface, and as shown in FIG. 10, the degree of arrival of light is reduced near the center between the LEDs 11 and 12 (the vicinity of the center is a dead space indicated by a hatched portion in FIG. 10). 15), the luminance was lower than in other areas, and luminance unevenness occurred. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid crystal display device in which the luminance in the effective light emitting area of the light guide plate is made uniform. According to the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, a light reflecting member is provided on one main surface and a side surface of a rectangular light guide having a point light source disposed at at least two corners.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A liquid crystal display device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a partially cutaway plan view of the liquid crystal display device 16, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line YY of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view of a main part of another backlight 17a, FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view of another backlight 17b, and FIG.
7c is an enlarged plan view of a main part of FIG. 7c, and FIG.
3 is an enlarged plan view of a main part of FIG. The conventional liquid crystal display device 1
The same reference numerals are used for the same parts. However, the backlight 17a shown in FIG. 4 and the backlight 17b shown in FIG. 5 are shown as reference examples. The liquid crystal display device 16 has a structure in which the liquid crystal display 3 and the backlight 17 are surrounded by the bezel 4, and the effective display area 5 defined in the liquid crystal display 3 and the backlight 1 are provided.
The effective light emitting areas 6 defined in 7 have substantially the same shape and the same area. The backlight 17 includes a rectangular or wedge-shaped light guide plate 18 made of a transparent acrylic resin, and a reflection sheet 19 provided on the back surface and the end surface (side surface) of the light guide plate 18.
(For example, a reflective sheet is provided on the surface of a white sheet such as PET) and a light diffusion sheet 9 (PC, P
A white sheet such as ET is made up of fine irregularities (for example, embossed or the like) on one surface and a lens sheet 10. Further, the point light source is provided at two corners of the light guide plate 18. LEDs 11 and 12 are provided, and arc-shaped notches 13 are formed in the light emitting directions of the LEDs 11 and 12.
Is formed, and the reflector 14 is disposed on the back side of the LEDs 11 and 12, and the LEDs 11 and 12 are fixed to the reflector 14. Then, light enters the inside of the light guide plate 18 through the cutout portion 13. A large triangular cut is made outside the effective light emitting area 6 at a substantially central portion of one side of the light guide plate 18 sandwiched between the LEDs 11 and 12 (a large triangular cut 20). A small triangular incision is made symmetrically on both sides of 20 (triangular small incisions 21, 22). Furthermore, each triangular large cut section 20,
The cut angle θ of the small triangular cut portions 21 and 22 is approximately 90
The degree is an isosceles triangle. By forming such large triangular cuts 20 and small triangular cuts 21 and 22, for example, as shown in FIG. Reflected by sheet 19,
When the reflected light reaches the dead space 15 where the degree of light arrival as shown in FIG. 10 is small, the luminance is complemented. Similarly, a part of the light emitted from the LED 11 is reflected by the reflection sheet 19 provided in the small triangular cut portion 21, and the reflected light reaches the region 15. Further, with respect to the large triangular cut portion 20, when a part of the light emitted from the LEDs 11 and 12 reaches, the reflected light similarly reaches the region 15. Thus, in the liquid crystal display device 16 having the above configuration, the large triangular cut portion 20, the small triangular cut portion 2
1 and 22, the effective light emitting area 6 of the light guide plate 18 is provided.
The uniformity of the emitted light is increased over the entire surface, and uniform brightness is obtained. Moreover, of the light emitted from the LEDs 11 and 12, light traveling outside the effective light emitting region 6 of the light guide plate 18 is effectively introduced into the effective light emitting region 6, thereby increasing the luminance. In the liquid crystal display device 16 described above, the cut portion is formed as an isosceles triangle having a cut angle θ of approximately 90 degrees. Instead of this, a large cut portion 23 of a right triangular shape like a backlight 17a shown in FIG. , Middle notch 2
4. The small cut portions 25 may be sequentially formed. And
By reducing the cutting depth in such an order, the light is directly projected from the LED 12 to any of them. When a plurality of cut portions are formed in each of the LED 11 and the LED 12, a different cut angle θ may be set. For example, regarding the cut angle θ1 of the large cut portion 23, the cut angle θ2 of the middle cut portion 24, and the cut angle θ3 of the small cut portion 25, by setting θ1 <θ2 <θ3, the reflected light can be guided to the pinpoint. The setting may be made, whereby the light can be concentrated on the dead space 15 having a low luminance. As a result, the luminance unevenness is most advantageously eliminated. Further, as shown in a backlight 17b shown in FIG. 5, LEDs 26, 27,
28 and 29 may be provided, and the cuts 30 may be formed in any of the side surfaces in the longitudinal direction. By the way, if the LED is provided at all the corners of the rectangular light guide plate and the cutouts are provided on all the side surfaces, the backlight 17 provided with two LEDs is provided. As compared with the above, the uneven brightness is further eliminated, and the object of the present invention is most advantageously achieved. Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the tip of the cut portion is formed at an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. Alternatively, as shown in a backlight 17c shown in FIG.
b, a cutout portion 31 formed in an arc shape or a semicircle shape, or a light guide plate 18 like a backlight 17d shown in FIG.
The cut-out portion 32 may have a polygonal shape in c. One or more cut-out portions having this shape are provided on one side surface. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes and improvements may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the backlight 17, the two corners of the light guide plate 18 are LE
D11 and 12 are provided, and the large triangular cut portion 20
Although the triangular small cut portions 21 and 22 are formed, LEDs may be disposed at the four corners instead, and similar cut portions may be formed on any of the side surfaces. In addition, the number of cut portions formed on the side surface is also one, two or four, five,
The number may be six or more. As described above, according to the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, the cutout portion is provided on the side of the light guide plate of the backlight outside the effective light emitting region, so that the light emitted from the point light source can be reduced. The light that reaches the cutout enters the low dead space where the luminance in the effective light emitting region is low, whereby the uniformity of the emitted light is increased over the entire effective light emitting region of the light guide plate, and a uniform luminance is obtained. Light directed toward the outside of the effective light emitting region of the light guide plate is effectively introduced into the effective light emitting region, and as a result, a high-performance liquid crystal display device in which light is evenly incident on the effective display region with high luminance can be provided.
