Surface light source device and liquid crystal display assembly
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display assembly includes a liquid crystal display, and a surface light source device that illuminates the liquid crystal display from a back surface. The surface light source device includes a housing including a bottom plate, a light source that is arranged on the bottom plate and illuminates the liquid crystal display, and a plurality of radiator fins arranged at a spacing from each other. Each of the radiator fins includes a first fin portion formed by bending a part of the bottom plate in a direction away from the liquid crystal display, the first fin portion extending substantially perpendicularly to the bottom plate, and a second fin portion formed by bending a part of the first fin portion in a direction away from the liquid crystal display, the second fin portion extending substantially parallel to the bottom plate.
1. A liquid crystal display assembly, comprising:
a liquid crystal display; and
a surface light source device that illuminates the liquid crystal display from a back surface,
wherein the surface light source device includes
a housing including a bottom plate,
a light source that is arranged on the bottom plate and illuminates the liquid crystal display, and
a plurality of radiator fins arranged at a spacing from each other, and
wherein each of the radiator fins includes
a first fin portion formed by bending a part of the bottom plate in a direction away from the liquid crystal display, the first fin portion extending substantially perpendicularly to the bottom plate, and
a second fin portion formed by bending a part of the first fin portion in a direction away from the liquid crystal display, the second fin portion extending substantially parallel to the bottom plate;
wherein a cover surrounding the plurality of radiator fins is arranged so as to face the bottom plate, a vent hole and a blower-means opening are formed in the cover, and blower means is arranged in the opening.
2. The liquid crystal display assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the light sources are arranged at a spacing from each other, and each of the light sources is arranged at the boundary between the first fin portion and the bottom plate.
3. A surface light source device that illuminates the liquid crystal display from a back surface, comprising:
a housing including a bottom plate;
a light source that is arranged on the bottom plate and illuminates the liquid crystal display; and
a plurality of radiator fins arranged at a spacing from each other,
wherein each of the radiator fins includes
a first fin portion formed by bending a part of the bottom plate in a direction away from the liquid crystal display, the first fin portion extending substantially perpendicularly to the bottom plate, and
a second fin portion formed by bending a part of the first fin portion in a direction away from the liquid crystal display, the second fin portion extending substantially parallel to the bottom plate;
wherein a cover surrounding the plurality of radiator fins is arranged so as to face the bottom plate, a vent hole and a blower-means opening are formed in the cover, and blower means is arranged in the opening.
4. The surface light source device according to claim 3 , wherein a plurality of the light sources are arranged at a spacing from each other, and each of the light sources is arranged at the boundary between the first fin portion and the bottom plate.
