Illumination device and display using light reflector
[Object] To provide an illumination device that suppresses degradation of display quality by preventing damage of light source elements, a reflection sheet, and an optical sheet; and a display. [Solution] A backlight device 10 includes: an LED substrate 11 ; a plurality of LEDs 15 disposed adjacent to each other on the LED substrate 11 ; an optical member 24 disposed to face the LEDs 15 ; a reflection sheet 12 disposed on the LED substrate 11 and having a plurality of openings at which the LEDs 15 are disposed; and a support body 17 formed at least in a gap between the reflection sheet 12 and the LEDs 15 , at at least one of the plurality of openings, the support body 17 projecting further than the LEDs 15 on a side opposite to the LED substrate 11 and supporting the optical member 24.
1. An illumination device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of light source elements disposed adjacent to each other on the substrate;
an optical member disposed to face the light source elements;
a reflection member disposed on the substrate and having a plurality of openings at which the light source elements are disposed; and
a support body within at least one of the plurality of openings and formed at in a gap between the reflection member and the light source elements; the support body projecting further than the light source elements on a side opposite to the substrate and supporting the optical member.
2. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the reflection member and a height of the light source elements are equal or substantially equal to each other.
3. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the support body is formed in a linear shape so as to be continuously disposed at two or more of the openings in plan view.
4. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the support body is formed at an entirety of the reflection member and an entirety of gaps of the plurality of openings.
5. The illumination device according to claim 4 , wherein the support body is formed at an entirety of the plurality of light source elements.
6. A display comprising the illumination device according to claim 1 .
7. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the reflection member and a height of the light source elements are equal or substantially equal to each other.
8. The illumination device according to claim 1 , wherein the support body is formed in a linear shape so as to be continuously disposed at two or more of the openings in plan view.
9. A display comprising the illumination device according to claim 1 .
10. An illumination device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of light source elements disposed adjacent to each other on the substrate;
an optical member disposed to face the light source elements;
a reflection member disposed on the substrate and having a plurality of openings at which the light source elements are disposed; and
a support body formed within each of the plurality of openings and in a gap between the reflection member and the light source elements, the support body projecting further than the light source elements on a side opposite to the substrate and supporting the optical member.
11. An illumination device comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of light source elements disposed adjacent to each other on the substrate;
an optical member disposed to face the light source elements;
a reflection member disposed on the substrate and having a plurality of openings at which the light source elements are disposed; and
a support body made of transparent resin; the support body formed within the plurality of openings in a gap between the reflection member and the light source elements resulting in a plurality of support bodies within the plurality of openings in the reflection member.
