Display device and planar light source device
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a technique which can make a backlight used in a liquid crystal display device thin and light-weighted. The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which includes a display panel and a backlight which is arranged behind the display panel, wherein the backlight includes a film-like light guide member, a film-like light semi-transmissive member which is adhered to a first surface of the light guide member which faces the display panel in an opposed manner, a film-like reflective member which is adhered to a back surface of the light guide member opposite to the first surface, and a spot light source which is arranged at a position of the light guide member at which light is incident on the light guide member from the first surface or the back surface, and a refractive index of the light semi-transmissive member is set smaller than a refractive index of the light guide member.
1. A planar light source device comprising:
a light source; and
a film-like light guide member, wherein
the light source includes a film-like incident-light adjusting member which is arranged in the direction at which light is radiated in the direction perpendicular to a film surface of the light guide member, and changes the incident direction of light to the light guide member in the propagation direction of light in the light guide member between a region on which the light is incident and a surface to which light of the light source is radiated, and
the incident-light adjusting member has one, two or more projections on a surface side which faces the light guide member in an opposed manner, and distal end surfaces of the projections are brought into close contact with the light guide member.
2. A planar light source device according to claim 1 , wherein a radiation-light adjusting member is provided to a radiation surface of the light guide member the radiation-light adjusting member adjusting a radiation angle of the light from the radiation surface.
3. A planar light source device according to claim 2 , wherein a reflective member is provided to a back surface of the light guide member opposite to a surface on which the incident-light adjusting member is arranged and to a region which is overlapped to the incident-light adjusting member.
4. A planar light source device according to claim 2 , wherein a projection of the incident-light adjusting member is a columnar projection having a curved bottom surface.
