Abstract

A reflective sheet includes a bottom portion; a plurality of inclined portions disposed at an incline from a periphery of the bottom portion; and a fold disposed in a predetermined position on the reflective sheet at a predetermined position in a direction orthogonal to a surface of the bottom portion.

Claims (42)

1. A display device comprising:

a display unit:

a reflective sheet comprising:

a bottom portion;

a first inclined portion extending from the bottom portion; and

a second inclined portion extending from the first inclined portion;

an optical sheet disposed between the display unit and the reflective sheet; and

a rear frame,

wherein an end of the reflective sheet is extended from the second inclined portion and is sandwiched between the optical sheet and the rear frame, and

wherein a first acute angle between a plane parallel to the bottom portion and the first inclined portion is greater than a second acute angle between the plane and the second inclined portion.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the reflective sheet further comprises:

a fold disposed between the first inclined portion and the second inclined portion.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the first inclined portion is trapezoidal, and

an upper base of the first inclined portion is connected to a bottom portion periphery.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the second inclined portion is trapezoidal, and

an upper base of the second inclined portion is connected to a lower base of the first inclined portion.

5. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein a length in an inclination direction of the first inclined portion is smaller than a length in an inclination direction of the second inclined portion.

6. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

longitudinal directions of the bottom portion, the first inclined portion, and the second inclined portion are the same direction, and

the fold extends along the longitudinal direction of the bottom portion.

7. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein both the first inclined portion and the second inclined portion have a flat-surface shape.

8. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the first inclined portion has a curved shape curving along an inclination direction of the first inclined portion.

9. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the reflective sheet further comprises a third inclined portion adjacent to the first inclined portion and the second inclined portion.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the third inclined portion is connected to the second inclined portion and separated from the first inclined portion.

11. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the third inclined portion is connected to the first inclined portion and separated from the second inclined portion.

12. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the reflective sheet further comprises a fourth inclined portion disposed adjacent to the third inclined portion in a lateral direction of the inclined portion, and the third inclined portion and the fourth inclined portion are separated.

13. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second acute angle is in a range of 14 to 25 degrees.

14. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second acute angle is in a range of 16 to 18 degrees.

15. A display device, comprising:

a display unit;

a reflective sheet comprising:

a bottom portion;

a first inclined portion extending from the bottom portion; and

a second inclined portion extending from the first inclined portion;

a plurality of light sources disposed to line up in a predetermined direction on the bottom portion,

wherein a fold disposed between the first inclined portion and the second inclined portion is extended in the predetermined direction.

16. The display device according to claim 15 , wherein the plurality of light sources are disposed farther than a central portion of the bottom portion relative to the first inclined portion.

17. The display device according to claim 15 , further comprising: an optical sheet disposed between the display unit and the reflective sheet, wherein

the fold is disposed nearer to the plurality of light sources than the optical sheet in a direction orthogonal to a surface of the bottom portion.
