[technical field]
The utility model is relevant for concentration piece, especially relevant for the diffusing lens of the visible angle and the optically focused Luminance Distribution of the may command optically focused that is used for module backlight.
[background technology]
One known concentration piece such as Figure 1A, shown in the 1B, it has been exposed in United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 626, No. 800 " PREVENTION OF GROOVE TIP DEFORMATION INBRIGHTNESS ENHANCEMENT FILM " in, Figure 1A, 1B shows that concentration piece 1 comprises substrate 11 and several prism cylinders 12, prism cylinder 12 is arranged on the surface of substrate 11, prism cylinder 12 has first plane (facet) 12a and the second plane 12b, the cause first plane 12a and the second plane 12b are the plane, non-curved surface characteristic, so one dimension optically focused effect is only arranged, and do not have two-dimentional light gathering, and its optically focused principle is a utilization prism columns internal refraction, in optically focused brightness, have peak value in special angle and occur, can produce invalid high angle light leak (i.e. the light of excessively assembling in high angle) on the optical application and cause the brightness disproportionation situation during in visual angle change.
Another known concentration piece please refer to Fig. 2 A, shown in the 2B, it has been exposed in United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 277, in No. 471 " BRIGHTNESS ENHANCEMENT FILM " (corresponding to TaiWan, China patent announcement No. 533987 " Wave surface light focusing sheet "), Fig. 2 A, 2B shows that Wave surface light focusing sheet 2 comprises substrate 21 and corrugated slice layer 22, corrugated slice layer 22 is arranged with several corrugated microgrooves 221, corrugated microgroove 221 is to be rearranged by 222 of several light focusing unit (brightnessunit), each light focusing unit 222 has the first surface 223 and second curved surface 224, first surface 223 and 224 low dips of second curved surface are to the upper surface of corrugated microgroove layer 22, and in formation sideline 225, the bottom of the first surface 223 and second curved surface 224, sideline 225 and is connected into a trough mutually between two light focusing unit 222 of adjacency.Because the bootable light of surface curvature of the first surface 223 and second curved surface 224 reflects, and makes it have the light-focusing function of two-dimensional directional.But be same as Figure 1A, its optically focused principle is a utilization prism columns internal refraction, has peak value in special angle in optically focused brightness and occurs, and also can produce invalid high angle light leak on the optical application and cause the brightness disproportionation situation during in visual angle change.
In known module backlight, the module backlight of side-light type as shown in Figure 3, the white light that cold-cathode tube 31 sends is to import light guide plate (LGP) 33 via reflection lampshade 32, again by the reflection printing net-point 34 and the white reflector plate 35 of lower surface, with the light vertical direction that leads, then via after diffusion sheet 36 is spread light down, form a uniform face light, enter concentration piece 37 again and carry out optically focused, and by last diffusion sheet 38 too the light of sharpening spread again, in order to form the face light emitting source of a front optically focused blast.In this known module backlight, must use other diffusion sheet and concentration piece.
In another known module backlight, side-light type reversed prism module backlight as shown in Figure 4, the white light that cold-cathode tube 31 sends is to import light guide plate 41 via reflection lampshade 32, reversed prism structure 42 and direct reflection sheet 43 by the bottom, with the light vertical direction that leads, then carry out the optically focused diffusion, by last diffusion sheet 38 light is spread optimization more again via the contrary rhombus lens vertical 44 with reversed prism structure 42 axial directions.Therefore also must use other diffusion sheet and inverse edge eyeglass.
Above-mentioned known concentration piece is all only had a light-focusing function, fail to possess simultaneously diffusion function, so in known design of backlight module, all need use down under the concentration piece with diffusion sheet and carry out optically focused importing concentration piece again after the light diffusion, and in known reversed prism back light module unit structure, though the inverse edge eyeglass can spread light, but still need diffusion sheet with surperficial light optimization.Therefore for the gain of positive briliancy, also can't only use diffusion sheet or concentration piece (inverse edge eyeglass) separately, so in practical application, no matter the cost of manufacturing cost or time resource is all quite considerable.
