[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor lighting, in particular to a light distribution member and a vehicle lamp. BACKGROUND

[0002] LED light sources have the advantages of small size, long service life, high efficiency, etc., and are widely used in various lighting scenes. The lighting device using LED light sources, such as high brake lights, can clearly observe the multiple light source bright spots inside when lit, and the visual effect is poor, which cannot meet the requirements. In order to weaken or eliminate the light source bright spots, the number of LED light sources is usually doubled, and the distance between light sources is reduced, so that the light emitting range of adjacent LED light sources is greatly overlapped, and the light is fully mixed, so as to weaken or eliminate the light source bright spots, and produce the visual effect of continuous and uniform light strip or light band. However, the cost of the lighting device is significantly increased due to the doubling of the number of light sources. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a light distribution member and a vehicle lamp to solve the problem that the cost of the lighting device is significantly increased due to the doubling of the number of LED light sources.

[0004] A light distribution member comprises:

[0007] wherein the light emitting surface of each microlens is convex outward, and the orthographic projection of the light emitting surface on the base body has a first maximum dimension in the first direction and a second maximum dimension in the second direction, and the first maximum dimension is greater than the second maximum dimension.

[0008] In one of the embodiments, the orthographic projection is a parallelogram; the first maximum dimension is a long side of the orthographic projection, and the second maximum dimension is a short side of the orthographic projection; or the first maximum dimension is a long diagonal of the orthographic projection, and the second maximum dimension is a short diagonal of the orthographic projection.

[0009] In one of the embodiments, the orthographic projection is a rectangle; each microlens has a long side side surface and a short side side surface, and the height of the long side side surface is greater than the height of the short side side surface.

[0010] In one of the embodiments, the orthographic projection is a rectangle; the light emitting surface is an arc surface and has a long side arc and a short side arc connected.

[0011] In one of the embodiments, the curvature of the part of the long-side arc is equal to the curvature of the short-side arc.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, the orthographic projection is a rhombus.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the ratio of the first maximum dimension to the second maximum dimension is 1.2-10.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the base body is a cuboid, and the microlens array covers one side surface of the base body.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the thickness of the base body is 2-15 mm.

[0016] A vehicle lamp, comprising:

[0017] A light distribution member as described in any one of the above embodiments; and

[0018] A light source module corresponding to the microlens array of the light distribution member.

[0019] The light distribution member and the vehicle lamp described above, by arranging the microlens array on one side surface of the base body, and the first maximum dimension of the orthographic projection of the light-emitting surface of each microlens being greater than the second maximum dimension, since the first maximum dimension is in the first direction, each microlens can scatter more light in the first direction, and the light emission is more divergent, the light emission between adjacent microlenses is fully mixed, at the same time, the total reflection effect of each microlens in the first direction is enhanced, thereby increasing the light propagating in the first direction inside the light distribution member, and the overall brightness of the light distribution member is significantly improved. When applied to a lighting device, the light distribution member can perform light distribution on multiple LED light sources with a regular pitch, and through the scattering, total reflection of the microlenses and the mixing of light between the microlenses, the luminous brightness of the light distribution member is significantly improved as a whole, the light source bright spot is eliminated, and the lighting device has the characteristics of high brightness and no light source bright spot, without the need to multiply the number of LED light sources, thereby significantly reducing the cost of the lighting device. Moreover, the light emission of the light distribution member is more uniform as a whole, and a uniform illumination area extending in the first direction can be formed visually, without visual dark areas, and the overall visual effect is good.

[0020] In addition, compared with the traditional thick-wall lens design or double-layer lens design, the thickness of the light distribution member is significantly thinned, and the structure is simple, the single-layer lens design of the light distribution member can replace the traditional double-layer lens design, the light propagation loss is significantly reduced, the light distribution brightness is high, and the material is greatly saved, thereby further reducing the cost. Compared with the traditional diffuser sheet light scattering mode, the light scattering of the microlens array does not cause a large amount of light emission loss, and the light emission brightness is high.

If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This illustration shows a partial structural diagram of the light distribution element in one embodiment of the present application from a certain viewing angle. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A partial structural schematic diagram of a light distribution component from another perspective. One embodiment of this application provides a light distribution component 100, which includes a substrate 110 and a microlens array 120. The microlens array 120 is disposed on one side surface of the substrate 110, and the other side surface of the substrate 110 has a light-incident surface 112. The light-incident surface 112 is used for light emitted from a light source to enter, and the microlens array 120 can scatter the light entering from the light-incident surface 112. The microlens array 120 is arranged in a rectangular array with a first direction x and a second direction y along both sides. Adjacent microlenses 121 of the microlens array 120 are connected. The light-emitting surface 122 of each microlens 121 is convex, and the orthographic projection 114 of the light-emitting surface 122 on the substrate 110 has a first maximum size 116 in the first direction x and a second maximum size 118 in the second direction y, where the first maximum size 116 is larger than the second maximum size 118.

[0040] By arranging the microlens array 120 on one side surface of the base 110, and the first maximum dimension 116 of the orthographic projection 114 of the light exit surface 122 of each microlens 121 is greater than the second maximum dimension 118, and the first maximum dimension 116 is in the first direction, each microlens 121 can scatter more light in the first direction x, and the light exit is more divergent, and the light exit between adjacent microlenses 121 is sufficiently mixed, while the total reflection effect of each microlens 121 in the first direction is enhanced, and the light propagating in the first direction x inside the light distribution member 100 is increased, and the overall brightness of the light distribution member 100 is significantly improved. When applied to a lighting device, the light distribution member 100 can perform light distribution on multiple LED light sources with a regular interval, and the light distribution member 100 can significantly improve the luminous brightness of the light distribution member 100 as a whole through scattering, total reflection of the microlenses 121, and mixing of light between the microlenses 121, eliminate light source bright spots, and make the lighting device have the characteristics of high brightness and no light source bright spots, without the need to multiply the number of LED light sources, which significantly reduces the cost of the lighting device. Moreover, the light distribution member 100 has more uniform overall light exit, can form a uniform illumination area extending in the first direction x in vision, has no visual dark area, and has good overall visual effect.

[0041] When the lighting device is a high-mounted brake light, a conventional high-mounted brake light uses a thick-walled lens, a double-layer lens, or a diffuser sheet for light distribution to achieve a preset light effect. However, the overall thickness of the thick-walled lens is large, and one side of the thick-walled lens is provided with a reflection structure, the overall structure is complex, and the light exit brightness is affected. The double-layer lens processes the light emitted by the light source twice, which also affects the light exit brightness. The diffuser sheet diffuses the light exit of the lens, has good scattering effect, but can cause a large decrease in light exit brightness. Therefore, compared with the above conventional methods, the thickness of the light distribution member 100 of the present application is significantly reduced, the structure is simple, the single-layer lens design of the light distribution member 100 can replace the conventional double-layer lens design, the light propagation loss is significantly reduced, the light distribution brightness is high, and the material is greatly saved, further reducing the cost.

[0042] It should be noted that the application scenario of the light distribution member 100 can be but is not limited to a vehicle lamp, and the vehicle lamp includes but is not limited to a headlamp, a daytime running lamp, a brake light, a turn signal light, a fog lamp, and a head-up display system light. Obviously, the light distribution member 100 can also be applied to other lighting scenarios, such as smart home appliances, unmanned aerial vehicles, or robots, etc. The above-mentioned "visual dark area", "light source bright spot", and "visual effect" are from the perspective of human eyes, and have no direct relationship with the uniformity of the light spot projected on the plane. Taking a strip-shaped high-mounted brake light as an example, when it is turned on, an observer in a rear vehicle can visually see a uniform and continuous elongated light strip without dark areas or bright spots.

[0043] The base 110 is a cuboid, and its shape is not limited thereto. The microlens array 120 covers one side surface of the base 110 and is in a rectangular shape, wherein the first direction x is the length direction of the microlens array 120, and the second direction y is the width direction of the microlens array 120. The other side surface of the base 110 is the light inlet surface 112. The microlens array 120 fully utilizes one side surface of the base 110, and the light rays entering from the light inlet surface 112 can basically pass through the microlens array 120 and be scattered out. In other embodiments, the microlens array 120 can be in a square shape and only occupy part of one side surface of the base 110. The other part can be used as an assembly surface to contact other elements. The light inlet surface 112 on the other side of the base 110 corresponds to the microlens array 120, and the area of the light inlet surface 112 can be slightly smaller than or equal to the area of the microlens array 120.

[0044] In order to reduce the loss of light rays, the side surface of the base 110 can be provided with a reflective layer (not shown). The reflective layer can be formed by spraying, electroplating reflective materials or pasting reflective film, and can reflect the light rays propagating to the side surface of the base 110, further reduce the light propagation loss, and help to further improve the light brightness of the light distribution piece 100.

[0045] The thickness of the base 110 is 2mm-15mm, so that the overall thickness of the light distribution piece 100 is smaller, further reducing the use of materials, and shortening the propagation path of the light rays in the base 110. The light is more easily penetrated through the base 110, and the propagation loss of the light rays in the base 110 is reduced. Combined with the microlens array 120, the light brightness of the light distribution piece 100 is higher, and the light source bright spot and visual dark area are better eliminated, and a more uniform and continuous lighting area visual effect is generated. In the embodiment, the thickness of the base 110 can be, but is not limited to, 5mm or 6mm.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3A partial top view of the light distribution member in the embodiment is shown, the orthographic projection 114 of the microlens 121 is a parallelogram, specifically a rectangle. The first maximum dimension 116 is the long side of the orthographic projection 114, and the second maximum dimension 118 is the short side of the orthographic projection 114. Since the light distribution member 100 is a cuboid as a whole, each microlens 121 is also a cuboid, and the length directions are the same, the light distribution member 100 can form a uniform and continuous light bar or light band in vision after light distribution. Moreover, the microlens 121 in the cuboid shape can be seamlessly spliced in the first direction x and the second direction y, thereby increasing the number of microlenses 121 per unit area, further improving the light scattering effect, and the light mixing effect between adjacent microlenses 121 is better, so that the overall light distribution is more uniform and the brightness is higher. In alternative embodiments, the orthographic projection 114 of each microlens 121 can be a hexagon or an octagon, and the overall length in the first direction x is greater than the overall length in the second direction y.

[0047] The ratio of the long side to the short side of the orthographic projection 114 of the microlens 121 is 1.2-10. Obviously, the larger the ratio, the longer the long side, and the better the scattering effect of the microlens 121 in the length direction.

[0048] Further, the ratio of the long side to the short side of the orthographic projection 114 of the microlens 121 is 1.3-1.7, and the scattering effect in the first direction and the second direction is considered. In the embodiment, the ratio of the long side to the short side of the orthographic projection 114 of the microlens 121 is 1.4, 1.5 or 1.7, but is not limited thereto.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 A partial front view of the light distribution member in the embodiment is shown, Figure 5 A left view of the light distribution member in the embodiment is shown, in combination with Figure 2 The height h1 of the long side side surface 123 of each microlens 121 is greater than the height h2 of the short side side surface 124, thereby increasing the area of the light emitting surface 122 in the length direction and further improving the scattering effect of the microlens 121 in the length direction.

[0050] The light emitting surface 122 is a convex curved surface, and the area of the convex curved surface is relatively large, which is beneficial to enhance the scattering effect. In other embodiments, the microlens 121 can be a convex ridge structure, such as a triangular ridge, and the light emitting surface 122 is two intersecting inclined surfaces.

[0051] Further, the light-out surface 122 is arc-shaped, and has a long-side circular arc 125 and a short-side circular arc 126 connected thereto. In other words, the light-out surface 122 is arc-shaped formed by moving the short-side circular arc 126 along the long-side circular arc 125 or formed by moving the long-side circular arc 125 along the short-side circular arc 126. In the same projection area, the light-out surface 122 has a larger area and better light-out scattering effect. In other embodiments, each microlens 121 can be cylindrical or semi-circular strip-shaped.

[0052] The curvature of the part of the long-side circular arc 125 is equal to the curvature of the short-side circular arc 126, and is easy to form. In this case, the radius of the long-side circular arc 125 is the same as that of the short-side circular arc 126, but the arc length of the long-side circular arc 125 is greater than that of the short-side circular arc 126, i.e., the short-side circular arc 126 can completely coincide with the central part of the long-side circular arc 125.

[0053] The light distribution piece 100 is an integral structure, and can be made by a thermal reflow method, a micro-plastic stamping method, or a micro-droplet jetting method. The material of the light distribution piece 100 can be, but is not limited to, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), optical glass, or silicone. When the material of the light distribution piece 100 is PMMA or PC, the light distribution piece 100 has good impact resistance and optical performance, and meets the application scene requirements of vehicle lamps.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 6 to Figure 8 , Figure 6 a partial top view of a light distribution piece in another embodiment of the present application is shown, Figure 7 a sectional view of the light distribution piece along I-I in Figure 6 a sectional view of the light distribution piece along II-II in Figure 8 a sectional view of the light distribution piece along II-II in Figure 6 Compared with the light distribution piece 100 in the above embodiment, each microlens 121 of the light distribution piece 100 in this embodiment has a different shape, and the orthographic projection 114 thereof is rhombic. The first maximum dimension 116 is the long diagonal of the orthographic projection 114, and the second maximum dimension 118 is the short diagonal of the orthographic projection 114. The area of each microlens 121 is large in the middle and small at the corners, and the central region thereof can better scatter light. The corner positions of each microlens 121 are spliced with three adjacent microlenses 121 in the first direction x and the second direction y, and the light is more fully mixed at the spliced positions. These designs can better eliminate the light source bright spots. As to other technical effects, please refer to the above embodiment, and no further description is given herein. In other embodiments, the orthographic projection 114 of the microlens 121 can also be other parallelograms besides rectangles and rhombuses.

[0055] The height h3 of the section of each microlens 121 in the long diagonal is greater than the height h4 of the section in the short diagonal, so as to increase the area of the light-out surface 122 in the first direction x and further improve the scattering effect of the microlens 121 in the first direction x.

[0056] The light-exiting surface 122 is a convex curved surface, and the area of the convex curved surface is relatively large, which is beneficial to enhance the scattering effect.

[0057] Further, the light-exiting surface 122 is an arc surface, a profile on a long diagonal of the arc surface has a profile long arc 127, a profile on a short diagonal of the arc surface has a profile short arc 128, and the centers of the profile long arc 127 and the profile short arc 128 intersect. Under the same projection area, the area of the light-exiting surface 122 is larger, and the light-exiting and scattering effect is better.

[0058] The curvature of a part of the profile long arc 127 is equal to the curvature of the profile short arc 128, and the profile long arc 127 and the profile short arc 128 are easily formed. In this case, the radii of the profile long arc 127 and the profile short arc 128 are the same, but the curvature of the profile long arc 127 is greater than the curvature of the profile short arc 128, that is, the profile short arc 128 can be completely coincided with the central part of the profile long arc 127.
