Abstract

A light source device includes a plurality of light sources, a substrate on which the light sources are arranged, and a reflective member arranged on the substrate via an adhesive member. The reflective member defines a plurality of through holes. The light sources are respectively disposed inside the through holes in a plan view. The adhesive member is light-reflective.

Claims (33)

1. A light source device comprising:

a plurality of light sources;

a substrate on which the light sources are arranged; and

a reflective member arranged on the substrate via an adhesive member, the reflective member defining a plurality of through holes, the reflective member including

first walls defining a first region surrounded by the first walls in a plan view, and

second walls located on an outer side of the first walls and defining a second region having an opening facing outside of the reflective member in the plan view, an area of the second region being smaller than an area of the first region, wherein

the light sources are respectively disposed inside the through holes in a plan view, and

the adhesive member is light-reflective.

2. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein

the adhesive member is arranged in a periphery of each of the through holes.

3. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein

the adhesive member includes a double-sided tape, an adhesive sheet, or a resin adhesive.

4. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein

the reflective member is made of polyethylene terephthalate.

5. The light source device according to claim 1 , further comprising

at least one member selected from a group consisting of

a diffusion plate,

a diffusion sheet,

a wavelength conversion sheet configured to convert light emitted from at least one of the light sources to light having a different wavelength,

a prism sheet, and

a polarizing sheet.

6. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the light sources includes a light-emitting element.

7. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the light sources includes a light-emitting element and a light-transmissive encapsulating member covering the light-emitting element.

8. The light source device according to claim 6 , wherein

each of the light sources further includes a light-reflective film arranged on an upper surface of the light-emitting element.

9. The light source device according to claim 7 , wherein

each of the light sources further includes a light-reflective film arranged on an upper surface of the light-emitting element.

10. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein

the substrate includes a wiring layer electrically connected to the light sources.

11. The light source device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first walls and the second walls are spaced apart from the through holes.
