Problems solved by technology

But this will cause the scattering and absorption of light, which will reduce the efficiency of the whole system; this phenomenon is more serious when using multi-layer diffuser film
[0005] In response to this situation, US Patent US 20040080938 A1 proposes to use the reflective cup and the product BEF film of 3M Company of the United States to form a system to achieve uniform light emission in the form of direct coupling. However, this solution will form a virtual image of the LED light source on the light exit plane, which is still difficult. Uniform light emission is achieved under the premise of high efficiency; at the same time, according to our experimental results, the use of BEF film in this case will reduce the system efficiency to 60%

Example Embodiment

[0049]Example 1

[0050] In the surface light source based on the assembling of light-emitting diodes of embodiment 1, the surface light source module includes a homogenization-collimation mechanism, that is, a homogenization-collimation lens 91, such as figure 2 Shown. In this embodiment, the homogenization mechanism and the collimation mechanism are integrated, that is, the homogenization-collimation lens 91 is used to replace the functions of the homogenization mechanism and the collimation mechanism.

[0051] figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view and light path diagram of this surface light source module. The light emitting diode light source 93 is packaged with a lens 92. The light emitted from the light-emitting diode light source 93 is refracted once by the lens 92 and then enters the homogenizing-collimating lens 91. The curved surface 94 makes the light with a relatively small angle with the central axis 90 uniformly distributed on the spherical surface 95 and collimat...

Example Embodiment

[0054] Example 2

[0055] In the surface light source based on the assembling of light-emitting diodes of the second embodiment, the surface light source module is another homogenization-collimation mechanism, that is, homogenization-collimation lens groups 120 and 122, such as Figure 6 Shown. Here, the homogenization-collimating lens groups 120 and 122 replace the functions of the homogenization mechanism and the collimation mechanism. The light emitted from the light-emitting diode light source 121 undergoes a series of refractions and reflections on the surfaces of the lens groups 120 and 122, and irradiates uniformly and substantially collimated onto the light exit plane 123. This homogenization-collimation mechanism has a different form from that of Embodiment 1, but the working principle is similar, so it will not be repeated here.

Example Embodiment

[0057] Example 3

[0058] Figure 8 It is a cross-sectional view and an optical path diagram of the surface light source module of Embodiment 3.

[0059] The homogenization mechanism is realized by using a homogenization lens 23. The spherical lens 22 functions to encapsulate the LED light source 20. The function of the homogenizing lens 23 is to refract the light emitted by the light-emitting diode light source 20 by the spherical lens 22 and then redirect it. After the homogenization lens 23 undergoes refraction or a series of refraction and total reflection, it is in the surface light source module. An approximately uniform illuminance is generated on the light exit plane 12, even if the light is uniformly distributed on the light exit plane 12. In this embodiment, only one light-emitting diode light source 20 is used, which is just for the convenience of description and does not limit the possibility of using multiple light-emitting diode light sources.

Abstract

The invention discloses an assembled uniform surface light source, belonging to the packing technique of light-emitting diode. It is characterized in that: it is a surface light source formed by assembling several surface light source modules that based on light-emitting diode. Wherein, each surface light source module comprises light-emitting diode light source, and a light-average collimate optical device which can make the light of light-emitting diode light source, via reflect and/or refract to generate uniform luminance on the emit plane while the emit direction is parallel with the middle axis of light. The invention can attain better light uniformity with high efficiency, while it can be used as a back light source in the personal computer, vehicle navigation system, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an assembled light-emitting diode-based uniform surface light source, which belongs to the technical field of light-emitting diode packaging and application. The present invention is applicable to backlight sources of liquid crystal display devices installed in equipment such as personal computers, vehicle navigation systems, and hand-held phones, and is also applicable to ordinary indoor lighting lamps. Background technique [0002] At present, there are mainly two types of surface light sources based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are widely used: side-light-type and directly-under-light. [0003] The side wall coupling mode refers to using some mechanism to couple the light emitted by the light emitting diode into the light guide plate from the side, so as to form a uniform surface light source. During the transmission of light in the light guide plate, it will gradually weaken due to the exit and material loss, so th...
