  • Patent number: 10028382
    Abstract: A planar lighting device includes a light guide plate, a plurality of light sources arranged in a line shape along a longitudinal direction of a side end face of the light guide plate, and a mounting substrate, on which the light sources are mounted. The mounting substrate has a base material, a conduction pattern formed on the base material, and a cover member arranged on the conduction pattern. The conduction pattern includes pairs of lands corresponding to a plurality of electrode terminals of each light source and to which the pair of electrode terminals is respectively connected, and first and second extension parts that are respectively connected to the pair of lands, extend from a first end portion of the lands, which faces the land of the adjacent light source, extend toward opposite sides of the light guide plate and to extend under the cover member.

  • Patent number: 9383086
    Abstract: A planar lighting device comprises: a mounting substrate having a conduction pattern having an extension part formed on a base material, and a cover member is arranged on the conduction pattern, wherein the cover member has an opening that exposes together the two lands of the two adjacent light sources, and wherein the extension parts comprise: a first extension part formed to extend from a first end portion of the lands toward the light guide plate and to extend under the cover member; a second extension part formed to extend from a second end portion, toward the light guide plate and the other land of the pair of the lands and to extend under the cover member; and a third extension part formed to extend from the first end portion, toward an opposite side to the light guide plate and to extend under the cover member.
