  • Publication number: 20100182529
    Abstract: A mount structure includes a wiring board and a semiconductor device composed of a light-emitting device or a light-receiving device mounted on one surface side of the wiring board such that an optical axis thereof is oriented in a direction that extends along a board surface of the wiring board. On the one surface side of the wiring board, a first pad on which a first terminal of the semiconductor device is mounted, a second pad on which a second terminal of the semiconductor device is mounted, and a light-shielding conductive layer are formed using the same conductive layer. The first pad and the second pad are arranged on respective sides of an imaginary center line along which the optical axis of the semiconductor device extends and the light-shielding conductive layer is provided at a position beneath a light emission center or a light reception center of the semiconductor device in plan view.

  • Publication number: 20100027241
    Abstract: A direct-type backlight unit includes: an arrangement surface on which a plurality of light sources are arranged; and a plurality of reflecting surfaces that are formed at a plurality of ends of the arrangement surface and reflect light emitted from the plurality of light source. Light emitted from the light sources and light reflected from the plurality of reflecting surfaces irradiate to a radiation area surrounded by the plurality of reflecting surfaces. The plurality of reflecting surfaces are inclined at an angle that is smaller than 90 degrees with respect to an extension surface of the arrangement surface that extends toward the outside of the reflecting surface. The plurality of reflecting surfaces include reflecting surfaces having a large inclination angle and reflecting surfaces having an inclination angle that is smaller than the large inclination angle.

  • Publication number: 20100026926
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a back light unit that has a light source, an optical member that is arranged so as to face the irradiation direction of the light of the light source, and a spacer that supports the optical member from the light source side and is arranged in a state in which the optical member is arranged parallel to the direction of gravity or inclined with respect to the direction of gravity, and a display panel that is arranged so as to be superimposed on the optical member of the back light unit. In the back light unit, the number of spacers arranged in an upper half area of the optical member with respect to the direction of gravity is configured to be smaller than that of the spacers arranged in a lower half area of the optical member with respect to the direction of gravity.
