Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can largely enhance a property of focusing light from a backlight. The backlight arranged on a back surface of a liquid crystal panel includes a light guide plate, a light source, a first asymmetrical prism sheet, and a second asymmetrical prism sheet. A reflection surface having an inclination of 2° or less for guiding light from the light source toward the liquid crystal display panel is formed on a back surface of the light guide plate. The first asymmetrical prism sheet and the second asymmetrical prism sheet respectively include projecting portions which extend in the arrangement direction of the light source and are arranged in parallel to each other in the direction which intersects the arrangement direction of the light source.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device using a light emitting diode as a light source, even when a plurality of light emitting elements are provided, an inclined surface is formed on a light guide plate as a reflection surface, and a light is converged in the liquid-crystal-panel direction using the reflection surface. In a liquid crystal display device which includes a backlight for radiating a light toward a liquid crystal panel, LEDs are formed on the light guide plate which is mounted on the backlight as light emitting elements. The plurality of LEDs are arranged along a side surface of the light guide plate, and a first reflection surface and a second reflection surface are formed on a bottom surface of the light guide plate. The second reflection surface is arranged closer to the LEDs than the first reflection surface and an angle of the second reflection surface is set larger than an angle of the first reflection surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device of high quality having high brightness and uniform brightness distribution by focusing the light radiation direction from a light guide plate in the vertical direction with respect to a light radiation surface of the light guide plate. The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel and a flat lighting device which radiates an illumination light to a back surface of the liquid crystal display panel. The flat lighting device includes a light guide plate which has an upper surface facing a back surface of the liquid crystal display panel in an opposed manner and constituting a light radiation surface and a bottom surface which is arranged opposite to the upper surface. One LED is arranged at a first corner portion of the light guide plate and another LED is arranged at a second corner portion of the light guide plate arranged adjacent to the first corner portion.

A shape of beam control elements which are arranged on a lower surface of a light guide plate is arranged concentrically about the LED.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device having a backlight device which can realize the high brightness and the high uniformity of in-plane brightness by allowing an optical sheet which is arranged above a light guide plate to effectively make use of light from spot light sources. An optical sheet is arranged between a side-light-type backlight device which includes a light guide plate and spot light sources on one side surface of the light guide plate and a liquid crystal display panel. The optical sheet is constituted of a sheet-like transparent base member and a plurality of convex lenses which are arranged on a backlight-device-side surface of the transparent base member. The convex lenses have a circular bottom surface shape and the centers of the bottom surfaces of the lenses are periodically arranged.

Two optical path changing lenses LPL1, LPE2 are arranged in a state that respective optical path changing lenses LPL1, LPE2 have respective one sides thereof abutted on each other above an abutting portion BE of two display panels PNL1, PNL2. The abutted ends form a straight-line shape on the abutting portion BE.

The illumination device has a light guide plate and at least one spot light source on at least one side surface of the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes a large number of upper-surface arcuate cross-sectional grooves in a direction orthogonal to the one side surface on a surface thereof which faces the liquid crystal panel, and a large number of light-incident-surface arcuate cross-sectional grooves are formed in a thickness direction of the light guide plate on at least a portion of the one side surface which faces a position at which the spot light source is arranged. A relationship is provided between a contact angle Oa of the upper-surface arcuate cross-sectional grooves and a contact angle Ea of the light-incident-surface arcuate cross-sectional grooves.

A cylindrical focusing electrode is divided into first cylindrical focusing electrode 4B and second cylindrical focusing electrode 4T and the gap between the both electrodes formed and divided by optimizing the length of the second cylindrical focusing electrode 4T in the tube axial direction is enlarged substantially to increase the infiltration of the velocity modulating magnetic field to the non-electric space of the focusing electrode 4. An electrode 4a having the equal potential with the focusing electrode 4 is disposed at the gap to suppress eddy current from being generated.
