Problems solved by technology

Although most of the existing secondary optical lenses can reduce the thickness of the backlight system to a large extent, they have a bottleneck that is difficult to overcome. In the backlight systems currently available on the market, the limit of the secondary optical lens is The height / width ratio (that is, the ratio of the distance from the LED substrate to the LCD screen to the LED arrangement spacing) is generally about 0.25, that is, when the LED spacing is 100mm, the distance from the LED substrate to the LCD screen needs to be about 25mm , if it is less than 0.25, the center of the spot facing the LED will be too bright, making it difficult to achieve uniform illumination of the LCD screen

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0049] The first embodiment of the LED lens device related to the present invention, the cross-sectional view of the lens device is as figure 1 As shown, the front view, perspective view, top view, right view, and bottom view of the lens according to this embodiment are shown in FIG. 2. The lens device includes an LED light source, a secondary optical lens 1 and a filter 2. The secondary optical lens 1 is characterized in that there is an inner groove under the lens near the middle of the LED light source, the side surface 11 of the inner groove is an arc-shaped revolving surface (that is, the section line is an arc), and the inner groove The top surface 13 is an aspheric condensing surface; there is a cylindrical protrusion above the lens, and a conical reflecting surface 14 recessed downward in the middle of the protrusion, on which there is a step 16 for placing the filter, the convex The outer surface 15 is a cylindrical curved surface with a slight slope as the light-emitt...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0066] In the second embodiment, except that the light distribution curved surface 122 on the outer surface of the secondary optical lens is different from the first embodiment, the other structures are basically the same as the first embodiment. The design principle of the second specific embodiment is as follows Picture 12 As shown, all the output light that passes through the light distribution curved surface 122 and the optical axis is θ max , And in the specific embodiment, the output light that is distributed through the light distribution curved surface 12 is uniformly distributed at an angle of 0 to θ with the optical axis OZ max Between angles, here θ max It is also preferably 85°. In terms of appearance, the curved surface 122 of the second embodiment is flatter, while the light distribution curved surface 12 of the first embodiment looks like a rounded arc at the junction with the cylindrical outer surface 15 above the lens.

[0067] The second embodiment has a w...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0069] The third embodiment of the secondary optical lens involved in the present invention, its cross-sectional view is as Figure 15 Shown. The difference from the first embodiment is that the side surface 113 of the concave portion under the lens near the middle of the LED is a tapered surface. The design method of the other surfaces is the same as the first embodiment, including the concave top surface 133 is an aspheric condensing surface; there is a cylindrical protrusion above the lens, and a downwardly concave cone is located in the middle of the protrusion. A total reflection surface 143, on which there is a step 163 for placing the filter, the convex outer surface 153 is a slightly inclined cylindrical light-emitting surface; the outer ring side surface 123 of the lens is also a light-emitting surface, which plays a role in light distribution Function, it is a continuous smooth curved surface; the bottom surface 173 of the lens is a non-optical surface, on which there...

Abstract

The invention discloses a secondary optical lens used in a liquid crystal display backlight system, comprising a bottom surface and a light distribution curved surface, the middle part of the top of the light distribution curved surface protrudes upwards to form a bulge, and the outer surface of the bulge is a cylinder A light surface is formed, the middle part of the convex top is recessed downwards to form a reflective surface, and a step is provided inside the total reflection surface, and an inner groove is formed upwards from the middle part of the bottom surface, and the inner groove It has a side surface and a light-gathering surface located on the top of the side surface, the side surface is a turning surface, so that a part of the incident light is converged by the light-gathering surface, and then shoots to the total reflection surface, and the reflected light passes through the convex surface. The raised outer side shoots. The secondary optical lens adopts the combination of refraction and total reflection to realize light distribution with full beam angle greater than or equal to 170°, which can further shorten the distance between the LED substrate and the LCD screen, and greatly reduce the thickness of the backlight system.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a secondary optical lens used in a large-screen liquid crystal display backlight system. Background technique [0002] Direct-lit LED backlight system (that is, the lighting system in which the LEDs are arranged under the LCD screen and directly illuminate the LCD panel), because of its simple structure, low light loss, high color rendering quality, good uniformity, LEDs can be arranged at will, no need The complex light guide plate dot design and other features have been more and more widely used. The pursuit of thinner and uniform lighting is the development trend of the backlight system of large-screen LCD (liquid crystal display), and the secondary optical lens is a key factor that plays a decisive role. Although most of the existing secondary optical lenses can reduce the thickness of the backlight system to a large extent, they have a bottleneck that is difficult to overcome. Among the backlight systems currently available on...
