Abstract

A displaying light source device which is provided with excellent characteristics of light emitting diodes, is free from uneven brightness of light, and can provide a high-brightness, uniform surface light emission even with a small power consumption. When a light emitting diode (20) goes on, a high-brightness light flux emitted from its head (21) and having a narrow directional angle is refraction-reflected at a wide angle toward the entire periphery from the center of the light flux by a reflection element (30) and diffused toward the bottom surface and the like of a frame (11). Since the inner sides of the bottom surface and side surfaces of the frame (11) are covered with a high-reflection material (12), the light reflected in various directions inside the frame (11) has its brightness uniformized but not lowered while passing through a translucent resin (40). The light then goes toward the opened upper surface of the frame (11) and is emitted to the outside through a light dispersing resin (50).

Description

明細書 表示用光源装置 技術分野  Description Light source device for display Technical field
本発明は、 発光ダイオー ドを光源と して、 均一な面発光を得ることが できる表示用光源装置に関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to a display light source device that can obtain uniform surface light emission using a light emitting diode as a light source. Background art
従来、 この種の表示用光源装置は、 広告看板のバックライ トや各種情 報を報知する電光表示板等、 様々な用途に活用されており、 これらの光 源には一般に蛍光灯やネオンサイン管等が用いられていた。  Conventionally, this type of display light source device has been used for various purposes, such as a backlight for an advertisement signboard and an electric display panel for notifying various kinds of information. These light sources are generally used as a fluorescent lamp or a neon sign tube. Etc. were used.
また、 光源の 1つと して発光ダイオードも知られており、 これは主に ディスプレイや表示用と して使用されるほか、 各種装置類に組み付けら れて電源の入切や作動状態を示すパイロ ッ トランプと して多く使用され ていた。  Light emitting diodes are also known as one of the light sources. They are mainly used for displays and displays, and they are mounted on various devices to turn on and off the power and indicate the operating status. It was often used as a lamp.
しかしながら、 前述したような従来の技術では、 光源が蛍光灯やネオ ンサイン管の場合、 発光ダイオードに比べれば耐久時間が短いため、 交 換作業が面倒であり、 コス トも嵩むという問題があった。  However, the conventional technology described above has a problem that when the light source is a fluorescent lamp or a neon sign tube, the replacement work is troublesome and the cost increases because the durability time is shorter than that of the light emitting diode. .
また、 蛍光灯等は放電的発光であるために点灯消灯時間が遅く、 また、 光電変換効率が比較的低いため消費電力が大きいという問題もあった。 また、 長尺化や薄型化が難しく形状の自由度が著しく制限されていた。 さらには、 衝撃にも弱く破損し易いという実用上の問題もあった。  In addition, fluorescent lamps and the like have a problem in that they emit light in a discharge manner, so that the on / off time is long, and that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is relatively low, so that power consumption is large. In addition, it was difficult to make the device longer and thinner, and the degree of freedom of the shape was significantly restricted. In addition, there was a practical problem that it was easily damaged due to impact.
一方、 発光ダイオードを利用した表示用光源装置では、 蛍光灯等と比 ベて長寿命であり、 視認性や輝度も極めて高く、 放電的発光でないため 点灯消灯時間が早く、 光電変換効率が高いため消費電力が少なく、 耐衝 撃性にも優れる等の利点もあるが、 次のような問題があった。 On the other hand, display light source devices that use light-emitting diodes have a longer life than fluorescent lamps, and have extremely high visibility and brightness.They do not discharge light, so they turn on and off quickly and have high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Low power consumption, shockproof Although it has the advantage of being superior in impact resistance, it has the following problems.
すなわち、 発光ダイオー ドは特性上、 高輝度の光束を得られるのだが その指向角が非常に狭いため、 たとえ高密度にマ ト リクス状に並べた場 合でも、 広告看板のバックライ トと して使用すると、 光束の当たる部分 と当たらない部分とで、 光の明暗が生じてしまい均一な面発光を得るこ とが困難であった。  In other words, a light emitting diode can obtain a high-luminance luminous flux due to its characteristics, but its directional angle is very narrow, so even if it is arranged in a high-density matrix, it can be used as a backlight for advertising signs. When used, the light was illuminated and darkened between the area where the light beam hit and the area where the light beam did not hit, making it difficult to obtain uniform surface light emission.
本発明は、 以上のよ うな従来技術が有する問題点に着目 してなされた もので、 発光ダイォードの優れた特性を備えると共に、. 光の不均一な明 暗が生じることがなく、 少ない消費電力でも高輝度で均一な面発光を得 ることができる表示用光源装置を提供することを目的と している。 発明の開示  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and has excellent characteristics of a light-emitting diode and low power consumption without generating uneven light and darkness.

[ 7 ] 発光ダイオードを光源と して、 均一な面発光を得ることができ る表示用光源装置において、  [7] In a display light source device capable of obtaining uniform surface light emission using a light emitting diode as a light source,
平面方向に広がる平板形に成形する透光性樹脂と、 該透光性樹脂中に 所定間隔おきに並べて埋設する複数の発光ダイォ一 ドと、 前記透光性樹 脂中にて各発光ダイォ一ドの頭部に対向する位置に配置する反射材と、 前記透光性樹脂の上面側に予め積層させる光分散樹脂とを有し、 前記透光性樹脂および光分散樹脂は所望の形状に切断され、 その切断 面と底面とを光反射効率の高い高反射性材料で覆い、  A light-transmitting resin molded into a flat plate shape spreading in a plane direction, a plurality of light-emitting diodes embedded and arranged in the light-transmitting resin at predetermined intervals, and each light-emitting diode in the light-transmitting resin. A reflector disposed at a position facing the head of the gate, and a light-dispersing resin laminated in advance on the upper surface side of the light-transmitting resin, wherein the light-transmitting resin and the light-dispersing resin are cut into a desired shape. Then, the cut surface and the bottom surface are covered with a highly reflective material having high light reflection efficiency,
前記各発光ダイォ一ドは、 それぞれ頭部が前記透光性樹脂の上面に向 かう上向きの状態で、 前記所望の形状に切断された透光性樹脂中に埋設 され、  Each of the light emitting diodes is embedded in the translucent resin cut into the desired shape, with the head thereof facing upward to the upper surface of the translucent resin,
前記各反射材は、 前記各発光ダイオー ドの頭部よ り照射される指向角 の狭い高輝度の光束を、 該光束の中心よ り全周方向へ広角に反射させる 状態で、 前記透光性樹脂中の発光ダイォードの頭部に対向する位置に配 置されることを特徴とする表示用光源装置。  Each of the reflectors reflects a light beam having a narrow directivity angle and a high brightness emitted from the head of each of the light emitting diodes at a wide angle from the center of the light beam to the entire circumference. A display light source device, which is disposed at a position facing a head of a light emitting diode in a resin.
発光ダイォードが点灯すると、 頭部より照射される指向角の狭い高輝 度の光束は、 反射材によって光束の中心より全周方向へ広角に屈折反射 し、 型枠の底面側等へと広域にわたり分散する。 型枠の底面や側面の内側は高反射性材料で覆われているため、 型枠内 で様々な方向へと反射した光は、 透光性樹脂を通過する間に輝度が低下 することなく平均化される。 そして、 光は型枠の開口 した上面側へと向 かって、 光分散樹脂を通り外部へ照射される。 When the light-emitting diode is turned on, the high-luminance luminous flux emitted from the head with a narrow directivity angle is refracted and reflected in a wide angle from the center of the luminous flux by the reflector, and is distributed over a wide area to the bottom side of the mold. I do. Since the inside of the bottom and side surfaces of the mold is covered with a highly reflective material, the light reflected in various directions within the mold can be averaged without decreasing brightness while passing through the translucent resin. Be transformed into Then, the light is irradiated to the outside through the light dispersion resin toward the upper surface side of the opening of the mold.
光分散樹脂では、 光が様々な方向へと細かく乱反射されることで、 光 の通過滞在時間が長く なり、 型枠の開口を覆う光分散樹脂の表面より、 高輝度で均一な面発光を得ることができる。  With light-dispersing resin, light is diffusely reflected finely in various directions, so that the staying time of light becomes longer, resulting in higher brightness and uniform surface emission than the surface of the light-dispersing resin that covers the opening of the formwork. be able to.
また、 前記反射材は、 具体的には例えば、 発光ダイオー ドの光束の中 心に頂部が対向する略円錐形に形成すればよい。 この反射材の中心軸に 沿って、 前記光束の中心を透過させる貫通孔を穿設すれば、 光分散樹脂 に反射材の影が少しでも生じることを防ぐことができる。  Further, specifically, the reflecting material may be formed, for example, in a substantially conical shape in which the top is opposed to the center of the light flux of the light emitting diode. By forming a through-hole for transmitting the center of the light beam along the central axis of the reflecting material, it is possible to prevent a slight shadow of the reflecting material from being generated on the light dispersion resin.
また、 前記反射材は、 ホルダー部材を介して発光ダイオー ドの頭部に 対向する位置に配置させれば、 容易に位置決めすることができる。 ここ でホルダー部材は、 発光ダイオー ドの基端部に外嵌させる取付環と、 該 取付環より極細状に延び出て反射材を予め止着しておく支持線材とから 構成すれば、 確実かつ容易に反射材を適所に位置決めすることが可能で あり、 しかもなるべく光を遮らずに済む。  Further, if the reflecting material is arranged at a position facing the head of the light emitting diode via the holder member, positioning can be easily performed. Here, if the holder member is constituted by a mounting ring externally fitted to the base end portion of the light emitting diode, and a supporting wire rod which protrudes extremely finely from the mounting ring and fixes the reflecting material in advance, the holder member can be reliably and reliably provided. The reflector can be easily positioned in the right place, and the light is not obstructed as much as possible.
また、 前記光分散樹脂を、 透光性樹脂中に光分散材と前記発光ダイォ ードの発光色と同系色の着色剤とを混合したものとすれば、 より明瞭で 鮮やかな光を得ることができる。  Further, if the light dispersion resin is a mixture of a light dispersion material and a colorant having a similar color to the emission color of the light emitting diode in a light transmitting resin, clearer and more vivid light can be obtained. Can be.
さ らにまた、 前記型枠を長手方向へ延びる細幅形に形成し、 該型枠内 に複数の発光ダイォ一ドを所定間隔おきに一列に並ぶように配設すれば、 かかる構成を一ュニッ トと して複数並べて所望の大きさの平面と したり、 あるいは円周形を成すように複数並べることで、 円柱形の表示用光源装 置も容易に実現することができる。  Furthermore, such a configuration is achieved by forming the mold in a narrow width extending in the longitudinal direction, and arranging a plurality of light emitting diodes in a row in the mold at predetermined intervals. By arranging a plurality of units as a plane of a desired size or by arranging a plurality of units so as to form a circular shape, a columnar display light source device can be easily realized.
また別の表示用光源装置と して、 前記発光ダイオードを、 その頭部が 前記型枠の底面ないし側面に向かう状態で型枠内に配設するように構成 してもよい。 この場合には前記反射材を設けることはしない。 このよう な簡略化された構成でも、 発光ダイオー ドの光は、 型枠内で様々な方向 へと満遍なく反射され、 透光性樹脂中で平均化された後、 光分散樹脂を 通って外部へ照射される。 As another display light source device, the light emitting diode has a head portion. You may comprise so that it may be arrange | positioned in a formwork in the state which goes to the bottom surface or the side surface of the said formwork. In this case, the reflective material is not provided. Even in such a simplified configuration, the light of the light emitting diode is uniformly reflected in various directions within the mold, averaged in the light transmitting resin, and then passed through the light dispersing resin to the outside. Irradiated.
さらに別の表示用光源装置と して、 前記型枠を用いることなく、 平板 形の透光性樹脂の上面側に予め光分散樹脂を積層しておき、 これを後か ら所望の形状に切断する。 この切断された透光性樹脂の内部に、 複数の 発光ダイォードと反射材を所定間隔おきに並べて埋設してもよい。 それ により、 様々な形の表示用光源装置を容易に形成することもできる。 こ の場合には、 透光性樹脂の底面や切断面を高反射性材料で覆うようにす る。 図面の簡単な説明  Further, as another display light source device, a light-dispersing resin is previously laminated on the upper surface side of the plate-shaped translucent resin without using the mold, and this is cut into a desired shape later. I do. A plurality of light emitting diodes and a reflecting material may be buried side by side at predetermined intervals in the cut translucent resin. Thereby, various types of display light source devices can be easily formed. In this case, the bottom surface or cut surface of the translucent resin is covered with a highly reflective material.

次に作用を説明する。 先ず表示用光源装置 1 0を製造するには、 図 1 において、 型枠 1 1 内 に各発光ダイオード 2 0を所定間隔おきに一列に並ぶように配設し、 各 発光ダイオード 2 0の頭部 2 1 に対向する位置にそれぞれ反射材 3 0を 配置させる。 Next, the operation will be described. First, in order to manufacture the display light source device 10, in FIG. 1, the light emitting diodes 20 are arranged in a line at predetermined intervals in the mold 11 and the head of each light emitting diode 20 is arranged. A reflector 30 is arranged at a position facing 21.
各反射材 3 0は、 ホルダー部材 3 5を介して発光ダイオー ド 2 0に装 着されるので、 確実かつ容易に反射材 3 0を適所に位置決めした状態に 装着することができる。 ここでホルダ一部材 3 5の取付環 3 6は、 発光 ダイオード 2 0 の基端部に外嵌させるので装着作業が簡単であり、 また 支持線材 3 7は極細状に延びているから、 発光ダイォ一ド 2 0の光をな るべく遮らずに済む。  Since each reflector 30 is mounted on the light emitting diode 20 via the holder member 35, the reflector 30 can be reliably and easily mounted in a state where the reflector 30 is positioned at an appropriate position. Here, the mounting ring 36 of the holder member 35 is externally fitted to the base end of the light emitting diode 20 so that the mounting operation is easy. Further, since the support wire 37 extends in an extremely fine shape, the light emitting diode is provided. It is not necessary to block the light of 20 degrees.
続いて型枠 1 1 内に、 前記発光ダイオード 2 0や反射材 3 0を総て覆 い尽くすように透光性樹脂 4 0を充填し、 さらに透光性樹脂 4 0の上に 光分散樹脂 5 0を積層させればよい。 このよ う にして製造された表示用 光源装置 1 0は、 様々な用途に使用することができるが、 特に広告看板 のバックライ ト等に適用するとよい。  Subsequently, the mold 11 is filled with a light-transmitting resin 40 so as to completely cover the light-emitting diode 20 and the reflecting material 30, and a light-dispersing resin is further placed on the light-transmitting resin 40. 50 may be stacked. The display light source device 10 manufactured in this manner can be used for various purposes, and is particularly preferably applied to a backlight of an advertising signboard or the like.
具体的には前記表示用光源装置 1 0をュニッ トと して複数用意し、 図 5に示すように、 各表示用光源装置 1 0を平面状の枠組み A内に密に並 ベるように設置する。 各表示用光源装置 1 0が並ぶ平面上には透光性の ある写真フィルム等の広告シ一 ト 6 0を貼着すれば、 かかる広告シー ト 6 0を発光させることができる。  Specifically, a plurality of the display light source devices 10 are prepared as a unit, and as shown in FIG. 5, each display light source device 10 is closely arranged in a planar frame A. Install. If an advertisement sheet 60 such as a translucent photographic film is attached on a plane on which the display light source devices 10 are arranged, the advertisement sheet 60 can emit light.
また別の例と して、 前記表示用光源装置 1 0が台形断面であることを 利用し、 図 6に示すように、 各表示用光源装置 1 0を円柱の外周面に密 に並べるように設置することもできる。 かかる場合も、 各表示用光源装 置 1 0が並ぶ円周面上に広告シー ト 6 0を貼着すれば、 円周形の広告シ — ト 6 0を発光させることができる。  As another example, utilizing the fact that the display light source device 10 has a trapezoidal cross section, as shown in FIG. 6, the display light source devices 10 are arranged closely on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder. Can also be installed. In such a case as well, by adhering the advertisement sheet 60 on a circumferential surface on which the display light source devices 10 are arranged, the circumferential advertisement sheet 60 can emit light.
図 3, 2において、 発光ダイオード 2 0が点灯すると、 その頭部 2 1 より照射される指向角の狭い高輝度の光束は、 反射材 3 0によって光束 の中心より全周方向へ広角に屈折反射して、 型枠 1 1 の底面側等へ広域 にわたり分散する。 また、 反射材 3 0の中心には貫通孔 3 1 が穿設され ているため、 光分散樹脂 5 0に反射材 3 0の影が少しでも生じることを 防ぐことができる。 In Figs. 3 and 2, when the light-emitting diode 20 lights up, its head 2 1 The high-luminance luminous flux with a narrower directional angle is refracted and reflected by the reflector 30 in a wide angle from the center of the luminous flux in the entire circumferential direction, and is dispersed over a wide area to the bottom side of the mold 11 or the like. In addition, since the through hole 31 is formed in the center of the reflecting material 30, it is possible to prevent the shadow of the reflecting material 30 from being formed on the light dispersion resin 50.
型枠 1 1の底面や側面の内側は高反射性材料 1 2で覆われているため, 型枠 1 1内で様々な方向へと反射した光は、 透光性樹脂 4 0を通過する 間に平均化されるよ う満遍なく拡散する。 ここで光は透光性樹脂 4 0内 を通るので、 空気中を通過する場合に比べて輝度が低下することもなく 、 透光性樹脂 4 0の全域が拡散光源領域となる。  Since the inside of the bottom and side surfaces of the mold 11 is covered with the highly reflective material 12, light reflected in various directions in the mold 11 passes through the translucent resin 40. Spread evenly so that they are averaged out. Here, since the light passes through the translucent resin 40, the luminance does not decrease compared to the case where the light passes through the air, and the entire area of the translucent resin 40 becomes the diffusion light source area.
型枠 1 1 内の光は開口 した上面側へと向かうが、 光分散樹脂 5 0を通 ることで均等に配光され、 この光分散樹脂 5 0の上面全体よ り外部へと 照射される。 光分散樹脂 5 0では、 光が様々な方向へと細かく乱反射さ れることで、 光の通過滞在時間が長く なる。  The light in the mold 11 goes to the upper surface side of the opening, but is uniformly distributed by passing through the light dispersion resin 50, and is radiated to the outside from the entire upper surface of the light dispersion resin 50. . In the light dispersing resin 50, light is diffusely reflected in various directions in a fine manner, so that the light stays longer.
それによ り、 型枠 1 1 の開口を覆う光分散樹脂 5 0の表面より、 高輝 度で均一な面発光を得ることができる。 また、 光分散樹脂 5 0には、 前 記発光ダイォ一 ド 2 0の発光色と同系色の着色剤が混合されているため、 より明瞭で鮮やかな光を得ることができる。  Thereby, uniform surface emission with high brightness can be obtained from the surface of the light dispersion resin 50 covering the opening of the mold 11. Further, since the light dispersing resin 50 is mixed with a colorant similar in color to the emission color of the light emitting diode 20, clearer and brighter light can be obtained.
図 7は本発明の第 2実施の形態を示している。  FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
本実施の形態は、 型枠 1 1 Aを文字 「T」 の形に成形したものである。 それにより、 発光表示用の文字と してそのまま利用することができる。 もちろん、 型枠 1 1 Αの形状はアルファベッ トの Τに限らず、 他のアル フアベッ トにしたり、 数字を表す 7セグメン トの形に成形することもで きる。 なお、 第 1実施の形態と同種の部位には同一符号を付して重複し た説明を省略する。  In the present embodiment, a mold 11 A is formed into the shape of a letter “T”. As a result, it can be used as it is as a character for light emission display.

In addition, since the base end of the light emitting diode 20 is spaced from the lower surface of the light dispersion resin 50, the shadow of the light emitting diode 20 does not occur on the upper surface of the light dispersion resin 50. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

However, the light of the light emitting diode 20 is uniformly refracted and reflected in various directions in the mold 11, averaged in the translucent resin 40, and then passed through the light dispersing resin 50 to the outside. Irradiated. Of course, the structure can be simplified and the device can be easily manufactured by the amount of omitting the reflecting material 30, and the cost can be significantly reduced.
