Definitions
- the present invention relates to a backlight unit that supplies light to a non-light emitting panel such as a liquid crystal display panel, and a liquid crystal display device including the backlight unit.
- a sidelight type backlight unit 149 (a backlight unit 149 of a type in which light enters the side surface 142S of the light guide plate 142) described in Patent Document 1 as shown in FIG. .
- the backlight unit 149 obtains light to be supplied to the liquid crystal display panel 159 from an LED (Light Emitting Diode) 112.
- the LED (light emitting element) 112 is small in size, and is frequently used in the recent backlight unit 149. In particular, the LED 112 is frequently used for a mobile tool such as a portable terminal.
- the LED 12 is often mounted on a flexible mounting substrate 111 (the mounting substrate 111 on which such an LED 112 is mounted is also referred to as an LED module mj). If the flexible mounting substrate 111 is excessively long, the mounting substrate 111 bends more than necessary.
- the mounting substrate 111 may be bent. More specifically, an excessively long mounting substrate 111 may be bent during the manufacturing process of the notebook PC. In addition, when the mounting substrate 111 bends, the LEDs 112 may be peeled off from the mounting substrate 111, resulting in defective products.
- the FFC (connection wiring) 114 contacts the side surface (light receiving surface) 142S of the light guide plate 142.
- the FFC 114 is interposed between the light emitting surface 112F of the LED 112 and the side surface 142S of the light guide plate 142, and the amount of light incident on the light guide plate 142 from the LED 112 may be reduced.
- the backlight unit 149 is enlarged by the space of the FFC 114.
- the backlight unit 149 on which a series of LED modules mj as shown in FIG. 10 is mounted there is a design restriction between the light emitting surface 112F of the LED 112 and the side surface 142S of the light guide plate 142.
- the care must be taken in handling the FFC 114 the manufacturing efficiency of the backlight unit 149 also decreases.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a backlight unit that can freely set the distance between the light emitting surface of the light emitting element and the side surface of the light guide plate, and a liquid crystal display device including the backlight unit. It is in.
- the backlight unit includes, for example, a light emitting unit that includes a plurality of mounting substrates on which a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in parallel are arranged in parallel via connection wiring, and a light guide plate that receives light from the light emitting unit.
- a recess is formed on the light receiving surface of the light guide plate that receives light from the light emitting element. The recess accommodates the connection wiring that connects the mounting substrates arranged in parallel.
- connection wiring does not contact the light receiving surface of the light guide plate but fits in the recess, there is no restriction on the distance between the light receiving surface of the light guide plate and the light emitting surface of the light emitting element. Therefore, the interval between the light emitting surface of the light emitting element and the light receiving surface of the light guide plate is freely set.
- the position of the light emitting unit relative to the light guide plate for example, the position of the light emitting unit in the longitudinal direction of the light receiving surface is specified. (In other words, the depression serves as a positioning function). Therefore, the attachment property of the light emitting unit to the light guide plate is also improved.
- the connector connected to the connection wiring is formed only on the mounting surface of the mounting board on which the light emitting element is mounted.
- the mounting surface of the mounting board faces the light receiving surface of the light guide plate. Therefore, if the connector is formed on the mounting surface, the connection wiring is very close to the light receiving surface, and the connection wiring is accommodated in the recess of the light receiving surface even with a relatively short length. In addition, if the connection wiring is very close to the light receiving surface, it can be easily accommodated in the depression of the light receiving surface arranged oppositely, so that the mounting property of the light emitting unit to the light guide plate is reliably improved.
- the printed wiring that connects between the connector connected to the connection wiring and the light emitting element is formed only on the mounting surface of the mounting substrate on which the light emitting element is mounted.
- printed wiring need not be formed on the non-mounting surface, which is the back surface of the mounting substrate. That is, a mounting board on which one side is subjected to printed wiring processing is used in the backlight unit. And if it becomes like this, the mounting substrate will be comparatively low-cost, and it will lead to the cost reduction of a backlight unit by extension.
- a heat dissipating material is attached to the non-mounting surface that is the back surface of the mounting surface of the mounting substrate on which the light emitting element is mounted.
- the light emitting element generates heat when driven, and the light emitting element itself and the mounting substrate are heated. However, if the heat radiating material is attached to the mounting substrate, the heat applied to the light emitting element and the mounting substrate escapes to the heat radiating material.
- the non-mounting surface is a smooth surface, and the heat dissipation material is easily attached to the surface.
- the smooth non-mounting surface is in close contact with the heat dissipation material to a relatively high degree. For this reason, the heat applied to the light emitting element and the mounting substrate efficiently escapes to the heat dissipation material.
- the depression of the light receiving surface of the light guide plate is tapered as it is away from the light receiving surface.
- connection wiring bends due to the proximity of the mounting boards, the connection wiring warps from the mounting surface and tends to have a tapered shape. Then, if the dent is tapered as it goes away from the light receiving surface, an excessive gap does not occur between the inner wall surface of the dent and the connection wiring. That is, the connection wiring is efficiently accommodated in the recess.
- the inclination angle of the inner wall surface of the light receiving surface in the light guide plate is the same as the maximum divergence angle of the light emitting element.
- the light forming the maximum divergence angle of the light emitting element (outermost light) does not leak into the depression after entering the light guide plate. Therefore, the effective utilization factor of light of the light emitting element increases.
- a main light emission region for emitting main light out of light emitted from the light guide plate is positioned deeper than the bottom of the recess.
- the dark region is not included in the main light emitting region. For this reason, the light emitted from the main light emission region does not include light amount unevenness.
- liquid crystal display device including the above backlight unit and a liquid crystal display panel that receives light from the backlight unit can also be said to be the present invention.
- connection wiring that connects the mounting boards is accommodated in the depression of the light receiving surface of the light guide plate, the light emitting surface of the light emitting element and the light receiving surface of the light guide plate are caused by the presence of the connection wiring. There are no design constraints in between.

- an active matrix substrate 51 including a switching element such as a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) and a counter substrate 52 facing the active matrix substrate 51 are bonded together with a sealant (not shown). Then, liquid crystal (not shown) is injected into the gap between the substrates 51 and 52 (the deflection films 53 and 53 are attached so as to sandwich the active matrix substrate 51 and the counter substrate 52).

- liquid crystal (not shown) is injected into the gap between the substrates 51 and 52 (the deflection films 53 and 53 are attached so as to sandwich the active matrix substrate 51 and the counter substrate 52).
- this liquid crystal display panel 59 is a non-light emitting display panel, it receives a light (backlight light) from the backlight unit 49 and exhibits a display function. Therefore, if the light from the backlight unit 49 can uniformly irradiate the entire surface of the liquid crystal display panel 59, the display quality of the liquid crystal display panel 59 is improved.

- the LED module MJ is mounted on a flexible mounting board 11 such as an FPC board (FlexiblePrinted Circuit board) and an electrode of the mounting board 11 to receive a current supply.
- LED (Light Emitting Diode) 12 that emits light.
- the LED module MJ preferably includes a plurality of LEDs 12 in order to secure the amount of light, and further, the LEDs 12 are preferably arranged in parallel on the mounting surface (support surface) 11A of the mounting substrate 11 (note that the number of LEDs 12). Is not limited to multiple). However, in the drawings, only some of the LEDs 12 are shown for convenience (hereinafter, the direction in which the LEDs 12 are arranged is referred to as a parallel direction P).
- the LED module MJ has a connector 13 at the end of the mounting surface 11A of the mounting substrate 11. And by connecting the flexible flat wiring board (FFC) 14 to the connector 13 of each LED module MJ, a plurality of LED modules MJ are formed in a series (however, for convenience, only some LED modules MJ are shown in the drawing). Only shown). The LED module MJ in a series will be described in detail later.
- FFC flexible flat wiring board

- the heat radiation member 41 has adhesiveness and is interposed between the non-mounting surface 11B of the mounting substrate 11 and the housing 48 (specifically, the inner wall surface of the wall portion 48W of the housing 48). As a result, the heat dissipation material (adhesive material) 41 makes the LED module MJ immobile with respect to the housing 48.
- the housing 48 is formed of a material having a relatively high thermal conductivity, and the heat remaining on the LED 12 and the mounting substrate 11 escapes to the housing 48 via the heat radiation material 41.
- the light guide plate 42 is a plate-like member having a side surface 42S and a top surface 42U and a bottom surface 42B positioned so as to sandwich the side surface 42S.
- One surface (light receiving surface) of the side surface 42S faces the light emitting surface 12F of the LED 12 to receive light from the LED (light emitting element, point light source) 12.
- the received light is mixed inside the light guide plate 42 and emitted from the top surface 42U as planar light.
- the light receiving surface 42S of the light guide plate 42 will be described in detail later.
- the reflection sheet 43 is positioned so as to be covered by the light guide plate 42.
- One surface of the reflection sheet 43 facing the bottom surface 42B of the light guide plate 42 is a reflection surface. Therefore, the reflection surface reflects the light from the LED 12 and the light propagating through the light guide plate 42 so as to return to the light guide plate 42 (specifically, through the bottom surface 42B of the light guide plate 42) without leaking.
- the diffusion sheet 44 is positioned so as to cover the top surface 42U of the light guide plate 42, diffuses the planar light from the light guide plate 42, and spreads the light throughout the liquid crystal display panel 59 (this diffusion sheet). 44 and the optical sheets 45 and 46 are collectively referred to as an optical sheet group 47).
- the optical sheets 45 and 46 are, for example, optical sheets that have a prism shape in the sheet surface and deflect light emission characteristics, and are positioned so as to cover the diffusion sheet 44. Therefore, the optical sheets 45 and 46 collect the light traveling from the diffusion sheet 44 and improve the luminance. In addition, the divergence direction of each light condensed by the optical sheet 45 and the optical sheet 46 is in a relation of crossing.

- the backlight light reaches the liquid crystal display panel 59, and the liquid crystal display panel 59 displays an image by the backlight light.
- FIGS. 1 is a plan view of the light guide plate 42 and the LED module MJ as viewed from the top surface 42U of the light guide plate 42.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the light guide plate 42 and the LED module MJ as viewed from the non-mounting surface 11B of the mounting substrate 11. .
- FIG 3 is a plan view of the LED module MJ as seen from the mounting surface 11A of the mounting substrate 11 (the mounting surface 11A is a surface on which the LEDs 12 are mounted, and the non-mounting surface 11B is the back surface of the mounting surface 11A). ).
- the light emitting unit UT which is a series of LED modules MJ, includes a plurality of mounting boards 11 on which a plurality of LEDs 12 arranged in parallel are arranged in parallel via an FFC (connection wiring) 14. Included.
- the light emitting unit UT directs the light emitting surface 12F of the LED 12 to one of the four side surfaces 42S of the light guide plate 42.
- a recess DH is formed on the side surface (light receiving surface) 42S of the light guide plate 42 that receives light from the light emitting unit UT.
- the recess DH is formed by a notch that falls toward the side surface 42S facing the light receiving surface 42S.
- the two cuts reaching the top surface 42U and the bottom surface 42B of the light guide plate 42 are located apart from each other in the longitudinal direction (parallel direction P) of the light receiving surface 42S, and these cuts are located from the light receiving surface 42S to the light guide plate 42.
- a notch generated as a result becomes a recess DH in the light receiving surface 42S.
- the position of the recess DH on the light receiving surface 42S is a portion facing the FFC 14 in the light emitting unit UT. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, even when the FFC 14 is bent when the light emitting surface 12F of the LED 12 and the light receiving surface 42S of the light guide plate 42 face each other in the light emitting unit UT, the bent FFC 14 receives light. It is accommodated in the recess DH of the surface 42S.
- the distance between the light receiving surface 42S of the light guide plate 42 and the light emitting surface 12F of the LED 12 is freely set without being constrained by the bent FFC 14.
- the bent FFC 14 in order to avoid contact between the bent FFC 14 and the light receiving surface 42S of the light guide plate 42, there is no situation in which the distance of the light emitting surface 12F of the LED 12 to the light receiving surface 42S of the light guide plate 42 is excessively separated.
- the distance of the light emitting surface 12F of the LED 12 with respect to the light receiving surface 42S of the light guide plate 42 is set to be relatively short, the backlight unit 149 becomes small.
- the positioning of the light emitting unit UT with respect to the light guide plate 42 in the parallel direction P and the overlapping direction Q is facilitated. That is, since the depression DH functions to position the light emitting unit UT with respect to the light guide plate 42, the mounting property of the light emitting unit UT with respect to the light guide plate 42 is improved (as a result, the manufacturing efficiency of the backlight unit 49 is improved).
- the connector 13 into which the FFC 14 is inserted is preferably formed on the mounting surface 11A of the mounting substrate 11.
- the FFC 14 will be very close to the light receiving surface 41S, and even if it has a relatively short length, it is accommodated in the recess DH of the light receiving surface 41S. Further, if the FFC 14 is very close to the light receiving surface 41S, the FFC 14 can be easily accommodated in the recess DH of the light receiving surface 41S arranged opposite to the light receiving surface 41S, and the attachment of the light emitting unit UT to the light guide plate 42 is reliably improved. In addition, if the FFC 14 is short, it becomes inexpensive, which leads to a reduction in the manufacturing cost of the backlight unit 49.
- the FFC 14 Even if the FFC 14 is bent toward the recess DH of the light receiving surface 42S, the FFC 14 does not contact the mounting substrate 11 and is not damaged. Therefore, for example, the performance failure (for example, conduction failure) of the light emitting unit UT due to the damaged FFC 14 does not occur.
- printed wiring (not shown) connecting the connector 13 and the LED 12 is also formed on the mounting surface 11A.
- the printed wiring for supplying current to the LED 12 is formed only on the mounting surface 11A.
- the printed wiring processing on the mounting substrate 11 can be performed only on the mounting surface 11A, and further processing such as a through hole is not required. Therefore, the cost of the mounting substrate 11 is reduced.
- the non-mounting surface 11B is a smooth surface. Then, when the heat radiation material 41 is interposed between the non-mounting surface 11B of the mounting substrate 11 and the housing 48 in the light emitting unit UT, the heat radiation material 41 and the non-mounting surface 11B are in close contact with each other. As a result, the heat remaining on the LED 12 and the mounting substrate 11 is efficiently released to the heat radiating material 41.
- the degree of adhesion of the heat radiating material 41 to the smooth non-mounting surface 11B is higher than the degree of adhesion of the heat radiating material 41 to the mounting surface 11A, for example. Escape to the housing 48.
- the dent DH on the light receiving surface 42S of the light guide plate 42 taper as the distance from the light receiving surface 42S increases (in short, it is preferably a tapered dent DH).
- the FFCs 14 are bent as the mounting substrates 11 come closer to each other, the FFCs 14 warp (swell) from the adjacent mounting surfaces 11A, and bend in the middle of the interval between the mounting substrates 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the shape connecting the bent portion of the FFC 14 and the two connectors 13 connecting the FFC 14 becomes a triangular shape (tapered shape).
- the FFC 14 having such a triangular shape approaches the light receiving surface 42S of the light guide plate 42, the FFC 14 is efficiently accommodated in the tapered (for example, triangular) recess DH (in short, the inner wall surface of the recess DH). 42D and the FFC 14 do not have an excessive gap).
- the inclination angle ⁇ 1 is within a virtual surface (QR surface formed by the overlapping direction Q and the direction R) perpendicular to the light receiving surface 42S, the top surface 42U, and the bottom surface 42B of the light guide plate 42 and the depression DH. This is the angle formed with the wall surface 42D.
- the maximum divergence angle ⁇ 2 is a PR surface formed by the parallel direction P and the direction R when the LED 12 faces the side surface 42S of the light guide plate 42. And the exit direction W of the outermost light from the LED 12 (the outermost light of the light flux from the LED 12).
- the LED 12 positioned at the end of the mounting substrate 11 and the end of the recess DH of the light receiving surface 42S of the light guide plate 42 are adjacent to each other (light receiving surface). If the edge of the inner wall surface 42D on 42S and the LED 12 positioned at the end of the mounting substrate 11 are adjacent to each other), the light from the LED 12 does not leak into the recess DH after entering the light guide plate. Therefore, the light of the LED 12 is effectively utilized ⁇ the light from the LED 12 is incident on the light guide plate and the rate of utilization as backlight light (effective utilization rate is improved) ⁇ .
- the inclination angle ⁇ 1 and the maximum divergence angle ⁇ 2 is about 42 °. This value is obtained from the following calculation based on Snell's law (note that the refractive index of air is 1 and the refractive index of the light guide plate 42 is 1.51).
- this equation indicates that the angle of light within the light guide plate 42 (side surface 42 s) when the light from the LED 12 is assumed to be incident on the side surface 42 S of the light guide plate 42 at approximately 90 °. It is calculated whether it proceeds at an angle). That is, the light guide plate 42 determines how many angles the light travels at the maximum. And this value is about 42 ° means that if the inclination angle ⁇ 1 and the maximum divergence angle ⁇ 2 are about 42 °, the light from the LED 12 is incident on the light guide plate 42 and then toward the depression DH. There is no leakage.
- the fact that the light from the LED 12 does not leak into the depression DH means that even if the material of the light guide plate 42 is buried in the depression DH, the area becomes a dark area where the light of the LED 12 does not reach.
- the depression DH is formed by removing a portion that becomes a dark region from the light guide plate 42.
- the vicinity of the light receiving surface 42 ⁇ / b> S facing the space between the adjacent LEDs 12 on the mounting substrate 11 also becomes the dark region BK.
- the interval between the LEDs 12 adjacent to each other on the mounting substrate 11 is shorter than the interval between the adjacent mounting substrates 11. Therefore, this dark region BK is only a minimal region and is not conspicuous (in short, the light emitted from the backlight unit 49 does not include unevenness in the amount of light due to the dark region).
- the area LA main light emission area LA; see FIGS. 1 and 6) for supplying light to the effective display area AA in the liquid crystal display panel 59 does not include the dark area BK. Therefore, for example, the main light emission that emits the main light out of the light emitted from the light guide plate 42 deeper than the bottom of the recess DH of the light receiving surface 42S (that is, on the side surface 42S facing the light receiving surface 42S). It is desirable that the area LA is located.
- the dark region BK near the light receiving surface 42S facing the space between the LEDs 12 adjacent to each other in the mounting substrate 11 is not included in the main light emitting region LA. For this reason, the light emitted from the backlight unit 49 does not surely include unevenness in the amount of light.
