View Patent ↗A backlight unit includes a light source having an emission region, a wiring board having the light source mounted thereon, a light guide plate having a side surface into which light from the light source enters, and a front surface from which the light exits, a light shielding adhesive tape adhering to the wiring board, and an optical sheet which overlaps with the front surface of the light guide plate. The front surface of the light guide plate includes an effective region serving as a planar light source and a light entering region ranging from the side surface to the effective region. The wiring board and the light-shielding adhesive tape each have a part positioned in the light entering region, and the optical sheet is arranged from the effective region to the light entering region. An end portion of the optical sheet overlaps with the light-shielding tape.
1. A backlight unit comprising:
a light source having an emission region;
a wiring board having the light source mounted thereon;
a light guide plate having a side surface into which light from the light source enters, and a front surface from which the light exits;
a light shielding adhesive tape adhering to the wiring board; and
an optical sheet which overlaps with the front surface of the light guide plate;
wherein the front surface of the light guide plate comprises an effective region serving as a planar light source and a light entering region ranging from the side surface to the effective region;
wherein the wiring board and the light-shielding adhesive tape each have a part positioned in the light entering region; and
wherein the optical sheet is arranged from the effective region to the light entering region, and at least an end portion of the optical sheet overlaps with the light-shielding layer in the light entering region.
2. The backlight unit according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the light-shielding adhesive tape is interposed between the wiring board and the light guide plate.
3. The backlight unit according to claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding adhesive tape adheres from a surface of the wiring board directed to a side opposite to the light guide plate to the front surface of the light guide plate.
4. The backlight unit according to claim 2 , wherein the light-shielding adhesive tape comprises an overlapping portion with the wiring board, the light-shielding adhesive tape extending from the overlapping portion in a direction of the effective region, and overlapping with the optical sheet outside the wiring board.
5. The backlight unit according to claim 4 , wherein the light-shielding adhesive tape overlaps with the optical sheet arranged on the light guide plate.
6. The backlight unit according to claim 4 , wherein the optical sheet overlaps with the light-shielding adhesive tape arranged on the light guide plate.
7. A backlight unit comprising:
a light source having an emission region;
a wiring board having the light source mounted thereon;
a light guide plate having a side surface into which light from the light source enters, and a front surface from which the light exits;
an adhesive tape provided on the wiring board; and
an optical sheet which overlaps with the front surface of the light guide plate;
wherein the front surface of the light guide plate comprises an effective region outputting the light from the light source and a light entering region provided between the effective region and the side surface;
wherein the wiring board and the adhesive tape each have a part positioned in the light entering region;
wherein the optical sheet is arranged from the effective region to the light entering region, and at least an end portion of the optical sheet overlaps with a light-shielding layer in the light entering region; and
wherein the adhesive tape overlaps with the optical sheet.
8. The backlight unit according to claim 7 , wherein at least a part of the adhesive tape is interposed between the wiring board and the light guide plate.
9. The backlight unit according to claim 7 , wherein the adhesive tape adheres from a surface of the wiring board directed to a side opposite to the light guide plate to the front surface of the light guide plate.
10. The backlight unit according to claim 7 , wherein the adhesive tape comprises an overlapping portion with the wiring board, the adhesive tape extending from the overlapping portion in a direction of the effective region.
