Title:
LIGHT GUIDE MEMBER, LIGHTING SYSTEM, AND DISPLAY DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004185923
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a light guide member for emitting plane light and easy to be miniaturized.

A plurality of groove parts 321a are provided in one surface of a nearly flat light guide plate 321, which has a nearly wedged cross section formed thick in one end side in the lateral direction, along the vertical direction. The groove parts 321 are formed into a waveform in the vertical direction in the condition that a phase thereof is displaced from the adjacent groove part 321a. A spectral range 321c is provided on a thick side of the other surface of the light guide plate 321, and others are formed into a diffusion range. The spectral range 321c is provided with light guide projections crossing the lateral direction of the light incident direction and formed into a grid. A plurality of curved grooves 321d1 are provided into a waveform along the lateral direction in the diffusion range. Adjacent curved groove parts 321d1 are provided so that phase thereof is displaced from each other. A reflecting sheet is provided in the surface provided with the groove parts 321c. Even in the case of using a point light source for incidence of the light from an end surface on the thick side, the light can outgoes with the nearly even distribution from the nearly whole surface.
