Abstract:
A lighting device includes a light source, a light guide plate, a reflection member, a wavelength converting member, and a complementary color member. The light source is configured to emit primary light rays. The light guide plate includes a light entering surface, a light exiting surface, and an opposite surface disposed opposite from the light exiting surface. The reflection member covers the opposite surface. The wavelength converting member contains phosphors that emit secondary light rays in a wavelength range different from the wavelength range when excited by the primary light rays. The wavelength converting member is configured to pass some of the primary light rays and disposed to cover a space between the light source and a light entering end or cover the light entering end. The complementary color member exhibits a color that makes a complementary color pair with a reference color exhibited by the primary light rays.
Abstract:
A backlight device includes LEDs, a light guide plate, and a heat dissipation member. The light guide plate includes edge surfaces including a light entrance surface through which light from the LEDs enters, a front plate surface as a light exit surface through which the light from the LEDs exits, and another plate surface as an opposed surface on an opposite side from the light exit surface. The heat dissipation member having heat dissipating properties includes a bottom plate portion extending along the opposed surface on an opposed surface side, and an upstanding portion extending from the bottom plate portion toward the light exit surface. The bottom plate portion includes projections projecting toward the light exit surface and facing short-side edge surfaces of the light guide plate. The projections are stopped at the corresponding edge surfaces to restrict a distance between the LEDs and the light entrance surface.
Abstract:
A backlight device of the present invention includes: a light guide plate having light-entering faces on opposing end faces thereof and a light-exiting surface on the front surface thereof; LEDs arranged selectively along one section of the light-entering faces of the light guide plate; a front cabinet arranged on a side of the light-exiting surface of the light guide plate and having a frame-like shape along a periphery of the light guide plate; and a rear cabinet arranged on a side of the light guide plate opposite to the front cabinet such that the rear cabinet and the front cabinet sandwich the light guide plate therebetween. The rear cabinet has a fixed portion that is disposed facing a section of the light-entering face that does not correspond to the one section where the LEDs are selectively arranged, and the fixed portion is fixed to the front cabinet.
Abstract:
An illumination device includes: a plurality of LED substrates having a rectangular plate shape, the plurality of LED substrates arranged in a row along a long side direction thereof, and each of the LED substrates having a plurality of LEDs on one surface thereof; and a heat-dissipating member abutting another surface of each of the LED substrates. A cutout portion is provided in each of the short sides, facing each other, of the LED substrates that are adjacent to each other. A fixing screw has a screw shaft that goes through the cutout portion from the mounting surface of the LED substrates and is fixed to the heat-dissipating member and a screw head that abuts the mounting surface of each of the LED substrates that are adjacent to each other.
