Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid crystal module, and more particularly to a liquid crystal module including a liquid crystal panel and a sidelight type backlight disposed on the back side thereof.

  In the case of a liquid crystal module that performs display using light from the outside, a backlight is generally disposed on the back of the liquid crystal panel. In addition, a backlight using a linear light source such as a cold cathode fluorescent tube is well known, and a backlight using this linear light source is roughly divided into two types depending on the arrangement of the linear light source. There are types.

  One is a so-called direct type backlight in which a linear light source is arranged directly under a liquid crystal panel. This is often used for a liquid crystal TV using a large liquid crystal panel which mainly requires high luminance.

  The other is a so-called sidelight-type backlight in which a linear light source is disposed on the side of a light guide plate disposed immediately below the liquid crystal panel. Liquid crystal modules using this sidelight type backlight are often employed for monitors for personal computers and monitors for vehicles that are required to be thin.

  The configuration of the sidelight type backlight is described in, for example, Patent Document 1, and a light guide plate (light guide) is disposed on the back surface of the liquid crystal panel, and an optical device such as a diffusion plate is provided between the liquid crystal panel and the light guide plate. A sheet is disposed, and a reflector is disposed on the back surface of the light guide plate. A lamp that is a linear light source is arranged on the side of the light guide plate.

  Usually, a so-called lamp holder made of an elastic member such as silicon rubber is attached to both ends of the linear light source to support the linear light source.

  The configuration around the lamp holder that supports the linear light source will be described in more detail with reference to the cross-sectional view of FIG. 6 showing an example of a sidelight type liquid crystal module.

  10 is a pair of transparent substrates, a liquid crystal layer (not shown) formed between the pair of transparent substrates, and a polarizing plate attached to the surface of each transparent substrate not facing the liquid crystal layer. It is a liquid crystal panel. Reference numeral 20 denotes a light guide plate 20 disposed on the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 10, which is made of an acrylic resin or the like and has a spot-like reflective paint printed on the bottom surface thereof. An optical sheet such as a diffusion sheet 21 or a prism sheet 22 is disposed between the liquid crystal panel 10 and the light guide plate 20, and a reflection plate 23 is disposed on the back side of the light guide plate.

  Reference numeral 30 denotes a linear light source including a cold cathode tube disposed on the side of the light guide plate 20. A lamp holder 40 for supporting and fixing the linear light source 30 at both ends of the linear light source 30 is provided with a part of the glass tube of the linear light source and a part of the lead wire 35 extending from the electrode and the end of the linear light source. It is attached to cover. The lamp holder 40 has a shape that engages around the corner of the case 50 that houses the light guide plate 20 and the linear light source 30.

  A lamp house 60 covers the linear light source in a U shape along the longitudinal direction of the linear light source 30, and the light emitted from the linear light source 30 by the lamp house 60 is efficiently applied to the side surface of the light guide plate 20. Incident.

Reference numeral 70 denotes a resin inner frame that supports and fixes the liquid crystal panel 10. A lead wire 35 extending from the lamp holder 40 hangs in a space formed between the case 50, the lamp house 60 and the inner frame 70. A front frame 80 having a substantially L-shaped cross section is disposed so as to cover the periphery of the front side end of the liquid crystal panel 10.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-258601 JP-A-10-96900

  Sidelight type liquid crystal modules are mainly used in mobile products to take advantage of their characteristics. Therefore, space saving is desired more and more, and a narrow frame is realized by providing a tapered portion in the lamp holder and reducing the distance between the linear light source and the light guide plate as in Patent Document 1, for example.

  On the other hand, since it is used for mobile, there is a high risk of unexpected impact during use. When the distance between the light guide plate and the linear light source becomes closer as in Patent Document 1, the light guide plate and the linear light source come into contact with each other due to the impact, and the linear light source is damaged. Even if the light guide plate and the linear light source are not in direct contact, the impact is transmitted to the light guide plate through the thin lamp holder, and the linear light source is damaged.

  In order to prevent contact between the linear light source and the light guide plate, a cube-shaped lamp holder located between the linear light source and the light guide plate as described in Patent Document 2 near both ends of the linear light source. Some have claw provided on the case. However, the contact portion between the side surface of the cube-shaped lamp holder and the light guide plate is very large and the light is shielded so much that a large shadow is formed on the light guide plate. In addition, since the light is largely blocked by the nail, a large shadow is formed on the light guide plate. Therefore, when such a configuration is adopted, large unevenness occurs in the light traveling through the light guide plate, and there is a high risk that light having uneven luminance is directed to the liquid crystal panel.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a side-light type liquid crystal module that can prevent damage to a linear light source when an impact or the like is applied with simple means and without affecting light directed to the liquid crystal panel. And

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a backlight comprising a liquid crystal panel, a light guide plate, a linear light source disposed on the side of the light guide plate, and lamp holders attached to both ends of the linear light source, The lamp holder includes an elastic member and a ring-shaped hard member, and the elastic member is disposed between the linear light source and the ring-shaped hard member. To do.

  Alternatively, a liquid crystal panel, a light guide plate, a linear light source disposed on a side surface of the light guide plate, a lamp holder made of an elastic member attached to both ends of the linear light source, the light guide plate, and the linear shape In a liquid crystal module comprising a light source and a case for housing the lamp holder, a ring-shaped hard member for fixing a distance between the light guide plate and the case is attached to the lamp holder, The elastic member is arranged between a linear light source and a ring-shaped hard member.

  Alternatively, a liquid crystal panel, a light guide plate, a linear light source disposed on a side surface of the light guide plate, a lamp holder made of an elastic member attached to both ends of the linear light source, the light guide plate and the line In a liquid crystal module comprising a light source and a case for housing the lamp holder, a ring-shaped hard member is attached to the lamp holder via an elastic member between the lamp light source and the lamp holder. A ring-shaped hard member attached to the lamp holder is pressed against the light guide plate.

  According to the present invention, in the liquid crystal module having the sidelight type backlight, the lamp holders attached to both ends of the linear light source are formed by the elastic member and the ring-shaped hard member. Even if the distance between the linear light source and the light guide plate is very close, it can be prevented from being destroyed by impact without affecting the light directed to the liquid crystal panel.

  BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples and drawings. However, the following examples are not intended to limit the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a liquid crystal module 1 having a sidelight type backlight. 2A is an enlarged plan view of the IIA part shown in the front view of the liquid crystal module of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2B is a modification thereof. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in the enlarged plan view of FIG. 2A. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of FIG. 2A. 5A to 5G are perspective views of various modifications of the lamp holder. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the structural member similar to FIG. 6 which showed the prior art example. Moreover, in each figure, a part of structural member is abbreviate | omitted and shown.

  The liquid crystal module 1 includes a liquid crystal panel 10 and a sidelight type backlight.

  On the front side of the liquid crystal panel 10, a metal front frame 81 having an opening corresponding to the display area of the liquid crystal panel 10 is disposed so as to cover the periphery of the liquid crystal panel 10. The liquid crystal panel 10 includes a pair of transparent substrates 11 made of glass, a liquid crystal layer (not shown) formed between the pair of transparent substrates, and a side of each transparent substrate that does not face the liquid crystal layer. It is comprised with the polarizing plate 12 affixed on the surface.

  The sidelight type backlight includes a light guide plate 20 located on the back side of the liquid crystal panel 10, a linear light source 30 located on the side of the light guide plate 20, and lamp holders 41 attached to both ends of the linear light source. It is configured.

  The light guide plate 20 has a rectangular shape corresponding to the shape of the liquid crystal panel 10 and is made of an acrylic resin or the like, and has a speckled reflective paint printed on the bottom surface thereof. The light from the linear light source 30 is emitted to the liquid crystal panel 10 side. On the side of the light guide plate 20 facing the linear light source 30, there are no cutouts or protrusions for fixing the position of the light guide plate 20 near the corners. When the light guide plate 20 is provided with a notch, a protrusion, or the like, the light travels unevenly at that portion and abnormal light is likely to be generated. However, in this embodiment, such abnormal light is not likely to be generated. .

  Between the liquid crystal panel 10 and the light guide plate 20, optical sheets such as a diffusion sheet 21 and a prism sheet 22 are disposed as necessary. A reflector 23 is disposed on the back side of the light guide plate 20. The reflection plate 23 reflects light incident on the light guide plate 20 toward the liquid crystal panel 10. The reflection plate 23 may be arranged not only on the back side of the light guide plate 20 but also on the side surface where the linear light source 30 is not located on the side of the light guide plate 20. Further, it may be integrated with a lamp house 61 described later.

  The linear light source 30 disposed on the side of the light guide plate 20 is a cold cathode tube that is often used as a light source for a backlight of a liquid crystal module, for example, and a phosphor film is formed on the inner surface of the glass tube, A rare gas is sealed inside the glass tube. Electrodes are sealed inside both ends of the glass tube, and lead wires 35 are attached to the electrodes and extend outside the glass tube. The linear light source 30 is longer than the light guide plate 20 and has a tube diameter of about 1.8 mm.

  The lamp holder 41 covers the end of the linear light source 30 and a part of the lead wire 35 extending from the linear light source 30, and has a planar L shape along the corner of the rectangular light guide plate 20. . Further, the outer shape has a circular cross section like the outer shape of the linear light source 30 so that the portion covering the linear light source 30 is equally applied with force, and the portion covering the lead wire 35 stabilizes the lamp holder 41. A plane is formed vertically. Further, the shape is such that it matches the shape of the case 51 described later in detail.

  Most of the lamp holder 41 is made of an elastic member 42 made of a rubber material that is insulating and elastically deformable, such as silicon rubber. This facilitates the attachment of the linear light source 30 to the case 51, stably supports and fixes the linear light source 30 itself in the case 51, and absorbs vibrations and shocks directly applied to the linear light source 30 itself. Damage to the linear light source 30 is prevented.

  A part of the lamp holder 41 is provided with a ring-shaped hard member 43 made of a material harder than the elastic member 42. As shown in FIG. 2A, the ring-shaped hard member 43 has a concave surface on a part of the elastic member 42 along the circumference of the linear light source 30 at a position where the light guide plate 20 and the lamp holder 41 overlap. A recess (between the portions indicated by 42a and 42b in the plan view of FIG. 2A) is formed and engaged with the recess. At this time, the thickness of the elastic member 42 in the recessed portion is about 0.4 mm, and the outer diameter is about 2.6 mm. The ring-shaped hard member 43 has an inner diameter of 2.7 mm and an outer diameter of about 3.0 to 3.5 mm so that a slight gap is formed between the elastic member 42 and the ring-shaped hard member 43. . As shown in FIG. 2B, the elastic member 42b forming the wall of the depression located at the end of the elastic member 42 is omitted, and the side facing the other lamp holder of the elastic member 42 is simply a small-diameter portion. It is also possible. In this case, the ring-shaped hard member 43 is simply engaged with the elastic member 42. Even in this state, the outer diameter of the elastic member 42 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the ring-shaped hard member 43. In this case, the ring-shaped hard member 43 is not easily pulled out by vibration or the like due to the elasticity of the elastic member 42.

  Thus, by providing the ring-shaped hard member 43 in a part of the lamp holder 41 at the position where the light guide plate 20 and the lamp holder 41 are in contact with each other, a large impact is applied to the liquid crystal module 1, and the light guide plate 20 and the linear shape are linear. Even if the light source 30 contacts or does not reach the contact, even if an impact is transmitted through the lamp holder 41, the ring-shaped hard member 43 can be a support to prevent the linear light source 30 from being damaged. . Further, since the hard member 43 has a ring shape, the linear light source 30 can be prevented from being damaged by an impact from the side in contact with the case 51 or an impact from above. Furthermore, since it is ring-shaped, for example, a space can be formed between the case 51 and the lead wire 35 can be passed by effectively utilizing this space as shown in FIG. In particular, when the space between the light guide plate 20 and the case 51 is narrow, if the holder is a cube, the insertion direction is completely determined, so that the assembly workability is deteriorated. It is easy to insert into the housing, and the assembly workability is also improved. In particular, the elastic member 42b shown in FIG. 2A and not shown in FIG. 2B has an elastic member between the ring-shaped hard member 43 and the linear light source 30, as shown in the plan view of FIG. Member 42 is present. That is, the hard member 43 and the linear light source 30 are not arranged continuously in plan view. Therefore, if the hard member 43 is located at the end of the lamp holder 41, the elastic member 42 is greatly deformed, and the hard member 43 and the linear light source 30 may come into contact with each other due to a strong impact. In this case, since the elastic member 42 is always present between the hard member 43 and the linear light source 30, it is stronger against impact.

  Note that, when viewed in plan, a part of the ring-shaped hard member 43 may be in contact with the side surface of the light guide plate 20 on the side surface of the light guide plate 20. Even if the ring-shaped hard member 43 is not in direct contact with the side surface of the light guide plate 20, it is sufficient if the ring-shaped hard member 43 can block the impact transmitted to the linear light source 30 via the elastic member 42. 42 may be embedded. Further, for example, the ring-shaped hard member 43 is positioned on the right side of the position shown in FIG. 2, and the ring-shaped hard member 43 is provided on the lamp holder 41 even if the ring-shaped hard member 43 is not in contact with the light guide plate 20. By being present, the linear light source 30 can be protected from the impact transmitted through the members existing around the lamp holder 41, so that the members can be closely arranged and a space-saving liquid crystal module is provided. be able to.

  The hard member 43 is preferably a complete ring. If a part of the ring is missing, elasticity is generated in the ring, so that it is easy to attach the linear light source 30 to the lamp holder 41, but this is preferable. This is because the linear light source 30 may be broken and broken. In particular, when the lamp holder 41 is arranged in a very narrow space, if the ring is partially cut, the ring shape is greatly affected, and there is a high possibility that the linear light source 30 is broken. A ring-shaped hard member 43 is preferable. As described above, if the hard member 43 is ring-shaped, damage to the linear light source 30 can be evenly protected against impacts applied from all directions along the ring shape, and further the ring-shaped hard member 43. Can be installed very easily.

  Here, the ring-shaped hard member 43 is made of a material harder than the elastic member 42, but in the present embodiment, it is made of a metal such as iron or stainless steel. This is because the strength of the ring-shaped hard member 43 is higher than that formed by a resin such as plastic, and when the same strength as that of a metal is obtained by the resin-made hard member 43, the ring-shaped hard member 43 itself is This is because it becomes large and is not very suitable for space saving. In the case of the metal hard member 43, the heat conductivity is relatively good, so that the heat near the electrode portion of the linear light source 30 can be effectively released. In addition, in order to increase the strength of the ring-shaped hard member 43, for example, nitriding treatment or the like may be performed on the metal surface.

  In this embodiment, the ring-shaped hard member 43 is engaged with the elastic member 42 where the concave depression is formed. That is, the ring-shaped hard member 43 does not engage with the recess of the elastic member 42 at the position where the end of the lamp holder 41 is formed (that is, only the elastic member 42 a), but on both sides of the ring-shaped hard member 43. The elastic members 42 are engaged so that they are positioned (that is, when the elastic members are 42a and 42b). This is because the distance along the surface of the elastic member 42 from the connection portion between the electrode of the linear light source 30 and the lead wire 35 to the metal hard member 43, that is, the creeping distance is increased by the presence of 42b, so This is because it becomes more effective to achieve insulation. Moreover, it becomes difficult to remove | deviate from the hollow which the ring-shaped hard member 43 engages compared with the case where there is no elastic member 42b.

  A lamp house 61 having a U-shaped cross section is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the linear light source 30 to which the lamp holder 41 is attached so as to cover the linear light source 30 and the lamp holder 41. By the lamp house 61, the light emitted from the linear light source 30 efficiently enters the side surface of the light guide plate 20. The lamp house 61 is, for example, an insulating white sheet, and the upper end is fixed to the upper surface of the light guide plate 20 with a double-sided tape or the like. The lower end is fixed between the light guide plate 20 and the case 51.

  In this embodiment, the ring-shaped hard member 43 is exposed by providing an opening 61 a in the lamp house 61 at the portion where the ring-shaped hard member 43 of the lamp holder 41 and the lamp house 61 overlap. Thus, by providing the opening 61 a at a position corresponding to the ring-shaped hard member 43 of the lamp holder 41 of the lamp house 61, it is possible to further reduce the space, and the impact transmitted to the ring-shaped hard member 43. Can be prevented from being transmitted directly to the lamp house 61, so that the lamp house 61 is not easily displaced and the fixation is stable, and the incidence of light on the light guide plate 20 is also very stable.

  The case 51 houses the light guide plate 20, the linear light source 30, the lamp holder 41, the lamp house 61, and optical sheets such as the diffusion sheet 21 and the prism sheet 22, and may be made of resin or metal. The case 51 may be composed of a single member or may be composed of a plurality of members. When the case 51 and the front frame 81 are engaged, the liquid crystal panel 10 and the sidelight type backlight are fixed integrally. Further, in this embodiment, a claw or the like for fixing the light guide plate 20 is not separately formed on the bottom surface of the case 51, and the bottom surface of the case 51 is substantially flat in the periphery between the light guide plate 20 and the lamp holder 41. It has become. That is, the position of the light guide plate 20 is fixed by the side surface of the case 51 that abuts and the lamp holder 41 that press-contacts the side surface of the light guide plate 20. As a result, unnecessary processing of the case 51 is unnecessary, and generation of abnormal light by the fixing claws can be prevented.

  The middle frame 71 is disposed along the four sides of the case 51 and supports and fixes the liquid crystal panel 10 and is also used for fixing the optical sheet. Further, on the linear light source 30, it is also used as a lamp house 61 restraint. The middle frame 71 may also be composed of one member or a plurality of members. Space can be saved by storing the lead wires 35 from the lamp holders 41 at both ends in a space formed between the case 51, the lamp house 61, and the middle frame 71. Then, the lead wire 35 is released to the outside through an opening provided on the side surface of the case 51 at a place where the lead wire 35 extending from both ends of the linear light source 30 meets, and an inverter circuit board (not shown) is connected via a connector. ).

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the elastic member 42b of the lamp holder 41 is provided in an annular shape (FIG. 2A) or the example in which the elastic member 42b is removed (FIG. 2B) has been shown. Even if it is provided, the effect of preventing the hard member 43 from coming off is obtained as in the case where it is provided in an annular shape. This modification is shown in FIGS. 5A to 5G.

  FIG. 5A is a perspective view when using two small disk-shaped small protrusions 42c provided on a part of the end of the elastic member 42, and attaching a ring-shaped hard member 43 thereto, FIG. 5B is a perspective view of the elastic member 42 with the ring-shaped hard member 43 removed.

  Further, the shape of the protrusion can be variously modified other than the disk-shaped small protrusion 42c. For example, FIGS. 5C and 5D show an example in which two small protrusions 42d are provided in the hemispherical shape at the end of the elastic member 42, and FIG. 5C is a perspective view of a state in which a ring-shaped hard member 43 is attached to the elastic member 42. FIG. 5D is a perspective view showing a state in which the ring-shaped hard member 43 is removed. Similarly, FIGS. 5E to 5G show examples in which the small protrusions 42e to 42f are formed in a rib shape extending along the length direction at the end of the elastic member 43, and FIG. 5E shows a ring-shaped hard member 43 on the elastic member 42. FIG. 5F and FIG. 5G are perspective views with the ring-shaped hard member 43 removed. In this case, the length of the rib-like protrusions 42e to 42f may be a length that does not contact the inner surface of the elastic member 43 as shown in FIG. 5F, or a length that contacts the inner surface as shown in FIG. 5G. Also good.

  Even if the small protrusions 42c to 42f of any shape shown in FIGS. 5A to 5G, when the ring-shaped hard member 43 is fitted, these protrusions 42c to 42f are easily deformed. The protrusions 42c to 42f are prevented from coming off after being fitted, and the position of the ring-shaped hard member 43 is less displaced due to vibration or the like. In particular, in the case of the rib-shaped protrusions 42e and 42f, the rib-shaped protrusions 42e and 42f are bent when the ring-shaped hard member 43 is fitted, so that they are easy to insert.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to said Example, If it is a sidelight type liquid crystal module with which the lamp holder was attached to the both ends of a linear light source, it is applicable. Further, the linear light source is not limited to a linear linear light source, and may be an L-shaped or U-shaped linear light source. Further, the lamp holder is not necessarily limited to one that supports and fixes a single linear light source, but may support and fix a plurality of linear light sources arranged on the side of the light guide plate.
