However, such a conventional illuminating device converts the luminous flux having a large angle from the normal direction of the light exit surface to the normal direction by the optical action of the prism sheet, so that the apparent brightness is reduced. Although it can be increased, the light flux in the normal direction is reflected by the prism surface and returned to the transparent plate, resulting in a problem of reduced efficiency.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, the transparent plate 1 is a transparent plate having a substantially rectangular shape and a certain thickness, and at least the light emitting surface 2 and the non-light emitting surface 3, preferably all surfaces are mirror surfaces (smooth surfaces). . The transparent plate 1 may be made of any transparent material that absorbs little light and has a refractive index higher than air, but a refractive index of 1.41 or more is particularly desirable, and acrylic resin, amorphous polyolefin resin, polycarbonate resin, polystyrene resin, Glass or the like is used.
When the refractive index is 1.41 or more, the critical angle becomes 45 degrees or less, and all the rays incident on the transparent plate 1 can be totally reflected by the mirror surface that is substantially perpendicular to the end surface 4.

A diffusing system 5 is provided on the reflection surface 3 of the transparent plate 1 by printing or adding a shape. The diffusing system 5 is formed in a thin line shape or a halftone dot shape on the reflection light emitting surface 3 and has a constant distribution with respect to the mirror surface portion. This is the end surface 4 of the transparent plate 1.
The incident light rays are totally reflected by the mirror surface portions of the light emitting surface 2 and the non-light emitting surface 3 that form an approximately right angle with the end surface 4, and the transparent plate 1 has an end surface 4
This is because it is necessary for the light to reach the diffusion system 5 with a certain probability and a part of the light to be emitted from the light emitting surface 2 while traveling further from.

It is desirable that all the surfaces constituting the transparent plate 1 are mirror surfaces because the transparent plate 1 is plate-shaped and the other surfaces have a small area with respect to the light emitting surface 2 and the non-light emitting surface 3. However, the probability of light rays staying in the transparent plate 1 is increased due to the effect of total reflection, and as a result, the light emission efficiency is increased. For example, when a substantially rectangular acrylic resin plate is used as the transparent plate 1, since the critical angle is about 42 degrees, light rays incident from the end face 4 will come from other than the end face on the opposite side of the end face 4 unless they reach the diffusion system 5. Will not come out.

The light source may be any incandescent lamp, linearly arranged light emitting diodes, light introduced by an optical fiber, or the like, but a fluorescent tube is suitable depending on conditions such as luminous efficiency, color, and handling. The light source 6 is arranged on one surface or two or more surfaces of the end surface 4 of the transparent plate 1, and at most the entire circumference, and the light beam from the light source 6 is guided to the transparent plate 1.

A prism sheet 7 is placed on the transparent plate 1 on the light emitting surface 2 side, and a light reflecting sheet 9 is placed on the side opposite to the light emitting surface 3. Prism sheet 7 and light reflection sheet 9
Are arranged with respect to the transparent plate 1 through a slight air layer, and this air layer is necessary for total reflection due to the critical angle described above. The prism sheet 7 has a function of refracting light rays emitted from the light emitting surface 2 in a direction in which a large number of rays are distributed substantially perpendicularly to the light emitting surface 2.

Polycarbonate resin, acrylic resin, or the like is used for the prism sheet 7, and one surface has a substantially flat surface and the other surface has a continuous prism structure having an apex angle of about 80 to 100 degrees. The flat side of the prism sheet 7 is arranged so as to face the light emitting surface 2 of the transparent plate 1. As a result, the light rays emitted from the light emitting surface 2 enter from the flat surface side of the prism sheet 7 and are refracted from the prism surface to the light emitting surface 2 at a higher angle, that is, the emitted light rays are substantially perpendicular to the light emitting surface 2. It has the effect of refracting in the distributed direction. Due to the effect of the prism sheet 7, the brightness when viewed from the front can be increased by about 20% to 50% as compared with the case where the prism sheet is not used.

As the light reflection sheet 9, a plastic sheet such as polyethylene terephthalate resin colored white or vapor-deposited with silver, aluminum or the like, a molded article or the like is used. One side is approximately flat and the other side has an apex angle of 100. It has a continuous prism structure with a degree of 170 degrees. The prism surface side of the light reflection sheet 9 is arranged so as to face the light exit surface 3 of the transparent plate 1.

The prism sheet 7 is provided on the light emitting surface 2 as described above.
On the other hand, a light beam emitted at a low angle, that is, a light beam incident on the plane side of the prism sheet 7 at a low angle is emitted from the prism surface side of the prism sheet 7 at a higher angle, but is incident at a higher angle. The reflected light beam is totally reflected twice on the prism surface of the prism sheet 7 and returns to the incident direction again. When the apex angle of the prism surface of the prism sheet 7 is 90 degrees, if the angle with respect to the light emitting surface 2 is about 80 degrees or more for the polycarbonate resin and about 84 degrees or more for the acrylic resin, the light is not emitted to the prism surface side and is transparent. It will return to the board 1 side. This covers from 10% to 20% of the light emitted from the light emitting surface 2 of the transparent plate 1.

The light rays reflected by the prism surface of the prism sheet 7 almost pass through the transparent plate 1 and reach the light reflecting sheet 9. At this time, if the reflecting surface of the light reflecting sheet 9 does not have an angle with respect to the light-reflective surface 3, most of the light rays reflected by the light reflecting sheet 9 will be reflected again by the prism sheet 7, and there is much waste. . Here, when the reflecting surface of the light reflecting sheet 9 has an angle with respect to the light exiting surface 3, the light rays reflected by the light reflecting sheet 9 enter the prism sheet 7 at a low angle and exit from the prism surface. You can

At this time, since the light rays reflected by the prism sheet 7 are within 10 degrees with respect to the normal direction of the light exit surface 2, the efficiency is obtained when the apex angle of the prism structure of the light reflecting sheet 9 is 160 degrees or less. Is good. On the other hand, when the angle is 120 degrees or less, a part or most of the light rays reflected by the prism surface of the light reflection sheet 9 hit the opposite surfaces of the reflected prism surface in the first place, and the efficiency is lowered. Therefore, experimentally, the front luminance is increased when the apex angle is 100 degrees to 170 degrees, but it is 12 from the viewpoint of efficiency.
It is desirable to be in the range of 0 to 160 degrees. At this time, due to the effect of the light reflection sheet 9, the brightness when viewed from the front is 10 to 20 as compared with the case where the prism structure is not used.
It can be increased by about%.

A diffusion sheet 8 is disposed on the upper surface of the prism sheet 7. Due to the critical angle of the prism surface of the prism sheet 7, the light rays do not suddenly radiate at an angle larger than that, and as a practical phenomenon, when the angle is swung from the front of the illuminating device, the light suddenly increases at a certain angle. Since it becomes dark, the diffusion sheet 8 relaxes them. As the diffusion sheet 8, a textured polycarbonate resin sheet or the like is used.
