Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a backlight unit and a display device. The backlight unit comprises at least one light emitting component and at least one reflection support component, wherein the light emitting component comprises a plurality of element surfaces disposed obliquely and a plurality of luminophors disposed on the element surfaces, the reflection support component comprises a plurality of reflective surfaces disposed obliquely.

Claims (17)

1. A backlight unit, comprising:

a light emitting component and reflection support components surrounding the light emitting component,

wherein the light emitting component comprises a plurality of element surfaces disposed obliquely and a plurality of luminophors disposed on the element surfaces, each of the reflection support components comprises a plurality of reflective surfaces disposed obliquely,

wherein the light emitting component is provided outside each of the reflection support components, and the reflection support components surrounding the light emitting component are separated from each other by a distance, and

wherein the backlight unit further comprises a bracket for supporting the reflection support component and the bracket is provided inside the reflection support component.

2. The backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein the element surfaces of the light emitting component form a pyramid structure, and the reflective surfaces of the reflection support component also form a pyramid structure.

3. The backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein each of the reflective surfaces of the reflection support component is in correspondence with one element surface of the light emitting component.

4. The backlight unit of claim 3 , wherein a luminophor is disposed on each of the element surfaces of the light emitting component.

5. The backlight unit of claim 4 , further comprising a backplate and a bottom reflector, wherein the backplate supports the whole backlight unit, the bottom reflector covers a part of the backplate, the light emitting component is disposed on another part of the backplate, and the reflection support component is disposed on the bottom reflector.

6. The backlight unit of claim 5 , wherein the bracket is provided on the backplate.

7. The backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein a height of the light emitting component is 2 to 5 mm, a height of the reflection support component is 5 to 20 mm.

8. The backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein an oblique angle of the element surfaces of the light emitting component is 15°-60°, an oblique angle of the reflective surfaces of the reflection support component is 15°-45°.

9. The backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein the backlight unit comprises a plurality of the light emitting components and a plurality of the reflection support components, wherein the plurality of light emitting components and the plurality of reflection support components are alternatively distributed with equal interval, and the reflection support components surrounding each of the light emitting components are central symmetrically distributed by taking the light emitting component as a center.

10. The backlight unit of claim 1 , wherein at least a part of light from the luminophors is transmitted to the reflective surfaces of the reflection support component.

11. The backlight unit of claim 10 , further comprising a diffuser plate, a top portion of the reflection support component is in contact with the diffuser plate to support the diffuser plate, and the light transmitted to the reflective surfaces of the reflection support component is emitted on the diffuser plate after reflection.

12. A display device comprising the backlight unit of claim 1 .

13. The backlight unit of claim 2 , wherein each of the reflective surfaces of the reflection support component is in correspondence with an element surface of the light emitting component.
