Title:
導光板、面光源装置及び液晶ディスプレイ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4152605
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A surface light source device and LCD provide a visual angle highly uniform two-dimensionally and reduced fine brightness unevenness, utilizing a light guide plate. The surface light source device illuminating an LCD panel employs a light guide plate having a back face 34 provided with many micro-reflectors 20. Beams P1, P2 representing an inner input light is inner-reflected by a slope 21 and then by another slope 22 or 22 and then 21, becoming an inner out light Q1, Q2 proceeding toward an emission face 33. Postures of micro-reflectors 20 are deviated from a standard posture on x-axis, y-axis and z-axis, respectively, thereby causing beams Q1, Q2 to inner-impinge to the emission face 33 at proceeding directions which are different three-dimensionally from each other. This difference is amplified through refraction at emission from the emission face 33. Fine brightness unevenness appearing depending on formed-position/no-formed-position of micro-reflectors is suppressed because the inner output light has a flux already expanded when reaching the emission face 33.
