  • Publication number: 20140118630
    Abstract: A display device includes a display component, a light source, a light guide plate, a spacer member, and a biasing member. The display component displays images. The light source emits light. The light guide plate guides the light emitted from the light source to the display component. The light guide plate has a light incident face on which the light emitted from the light source is directly incident. The spacer member is disposed in a region other than where the light guide plate and the light source are opposite each other such that the spacer member maintains a specific spacing between the light source and the light incident face of the light guide plate. The biasing member is arranged to bias one of the light source and the light guide plate towards the other of the light source and the light guide plate.

  • Patent number: 8641252
    Abstract: A planar light-emitting device includes a light source element and a light guide plate. The light source element is configured to emit light. The light guide plate has a housing hole, a light-emitting face and a light reflecting face. The housing hole houses the light source element. The light reflecting face is formed along a side end portion of the light guide plate. The light reflecting face has an inclined portion that is located next to the housing hole in a first direction of the light guide plate and a flat portion that is located next to the inclined portion in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. The inclined portion has an inclination angle with respect to the flat portion such that the light reflected on the inclined portion is prevented from returning the housing hole.

  • Patent number: 8517590
    Abstract: A light source structure includes a light-emitting diode, an optical component, a frame and a mounting substrate. The light-emitting diode emits light. The frame has an inside face defining an inside area and outside face with an attachment opening extending between the inside and outside faces. The light-emitting diode is disposed in the attachment opening to emit the light toward the inside area of the frame. The frame houses the optical component in the inside area of the frame. The mounting substrate has a base member, a copper layer that is laminated on the base member, and a resist film that is laminated on the copper layer. The resist film has a first aperture with the light-emitting diode extending through the first aperture such that the light-emitting diode is electrically coupled to and mounted on the copper layer. The mounting substrate is disposed on the outside face of the frame.
