Backlight device for dual-view display
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a backlight for dual-view display, comprising: a light source; a light-guide plate, which allows the incoming of light from the light source and uniformly guides and diffuses the light; a diffusing sheet, which is placed between the light-guide plate and liquid crystal panel; two prism sheets, which are placed between the diffusing sheet and the liquid crystal panel; and a reflective sheet, wherein the face where the prism is formed on the prism sheet on the diffusing sheet side amongst the two prism sheets faces the diffusing sheet, and the prism axis (the ridge line of the prism) is placed as to be parallel to a longitudinal direction with respect to the liquid crystal screen; the face where the prism is formed on the prism sheet on the liquid crystal panel side faces the liquid crystal panel, and the prism axis (the ridge line of the prism) is placed as to be the same as the lateral directions with respect to the liquid crystal screen; the prism tip angle of the prism sheet on the diffusing sheet side is 80° to 95°, and the prism tip angle of the prism sheet on the liquid crystal panel side is 70° to 100°.
1. A dual-view display comprising:
a liquid crystal panel showing a liquid crystal screen;
a polarizer having a transmission axis; and
a backlight device comprising:
a light source;
a light-guide plate guiding and diffusing a light from the light source;
a diffusing sheet disposed between the light-guide plate and the liquid crystal panel;
a first prism sheet disposed between the diffusing sheet and the liquid crystal panel and a second prism sheet disposed between the first prism sheet and the liquid crystal panel, wherein the first prism sheet has a prism forming surface facing the diffusing sheet and the second prism sheet has a prism forming surface facing the liquid crystal panel, and wherein there is no other prism sheet between the second prism sheet and the liquid crystal panel; and
a reflective sheet;
wherein the first prism sheet has a ridge line and has a tip angle ranging from 80° to 95°, and the second prism sheet has a ridge line and has a tip angle ranging from 70° to 110°, wherein the ridge line of the first prism sheet is orthogonal to the ridge line of the second prism sheet, and wherein the first prism sheet and the second prism sheet are disposed in such a way that the respective ridge lines thereof are orthogonal to each other and are rotated an angle ranging from +35° to +45° or −35° to −45° with respect to the transmission axis of the polarizer wherein the polarizer is a polarizer of reflective type.
2. The dual-view display according to claim 1 , wherein the tip angle of the first prism sheet ranges from 89° to 90°.
3. The dual-view display according to claim 1 , wherein the tip angle of the second prism sheet ranges from 80° to 100°.
4. The dual-view display according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second prism sheets have a respective plane surface facing to each other, and either one or both of the surfaces are matte-finished.
5. The dual-view display according to claim 4 , wherein the surface of the first prism sheet is matte-finished.
6. A liquid crystal display device comprising the dual-view display according to claim 1 .
7. An automotive dual-view display using the liquid crystal display device of claim 6 .
8. A dual-view display comprising:
a liquid crystal panel;
a polarizer having a transmission axis; and
a backlight device, comprising:
a light source;
a light-guide plate guiding and outputting a light from the light source to an output side of the light-guide plate;
a first prism sheet and a second prism sheet disposed at the output side of the light-guide plate, wherein the first prism sheet has a first prism forming surface facing in a direction towards the light-guide plate, and the second prism sheet has a second prism forming surface facing in a direction away from the light-guide plate and towards the liquid crystal panel, wherein there is no other prism sheet between the second prism sheet and the liquid crystal panel, wherein the first prism forming surface and the second prism forming surfaces face different directions and away from each other, wherein the first prism sheet has a first ridge line, and the second prism sheet has a second ridge line orthogonal to the first ridge line, and wherein the first ridge line and the second ridge line are rotated an angle ranging from +35° to +45° or −35° to −45° with respect to the transmission axis of the polarizer wherein the polarizer is a polarizer of reflective type.
9. The dual-view display according to claim 8 , wherein the first prism sheet is disposed between the light-guide plate and the second prism sheet.
10. The dual-view display according to claim 9 , further comprising a diffusing sheet disposed between the first prism sheet and the light-guide plate.
11. The dual-view display according to claim 10 , further comprising a reflective sheet disposed at a side of the light-guide plate opposite to the output side.
12. The dual-view display according to claim 8 , wherein the first and second prism sheets have respective planar surfaces facing each other, and at least one of the planar surfaces is matte-finished.
13. The dual-view display according to claim 8 , wherein the first prism sheet has a tip angle ranging from 80° to 95°, and the second prism sheet has a tip angle ranging from 70° to 110°.
