Four-side light-emitting blue light guide surface light-emitting structure
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to a four-side light-emitting blue light guide surface light-emitting structure.
Background
In recent years, in surface light sources used in backlight display and lighting industries, surface light emitting modules (HLU: HACK LIGHT Unit) are classified into a direct type and a side entry type. The lateral entrance type scheme is thinner in overall thickness, and the number of light sources is small, so that the lateral entrance type structure is adopted by the current vast majority of surface light sources, but the lateral entrance type structure needs to adopt a light guide plate, so that the cost is high, the light conversion efficiency is lower than that of the direct type, regional extinction (Local Dimming) cannot be realized in the display field, and further High Dynamic Range (HDR) cannot be realized, and the HDR is generally 3000:1, the application is greatly limited.
In the direct type surface light source, an LED array is arranged at the bottom of a surface light emitting module, light emitted from an LED is reflected by the bottom surface and the side surface, and then is uniformly emitted through a diffusion plate and an optical module on the surface. The direct type surface light source has the advantages of simple process, reduction of light guide plates, high light conversion efficiency and low cost, and occupies a certain middle-low end market in the field of illumination and display; at present, in order to obtain a display effect with more vivid colors, a High Dynamic Range (HDR), which is a ratio of luminance differences actually existing in reality (i.e., a ratio of brightest object luminance to darkest object luminance), is required, because the HDR can reach 20000:1, therefore, are increasingly gaining attention in area light source applications in the backlight display and lighting industries.
At present, the traditional direct type surface light emitting module mainly comprises 3 modes:
(1) A light source array consisting of conventional LED light sources is adopted, a diffusion plate is arranged above the LED light source array at a certain distance, and a point light source is changed into a surface light source by using the diffusion plate;
(2) A light source array formed by conventional LED light sources is adopted, lenses are closely attached to the LED light sources, light emitted by LED lamp beads is conducted through an air layer between the lenses and a diffusion plate after passing through the lenses, light intensity is overlapped to a certain extent, and then the light source is irradiated onto the diffusion plate, so that a point light source is changed into a surface light source;
(3) And an LED chip array is adopted, and silica gel and fluorescent powder are directly coated on the surface of the LED chip array to form a light guide medium layer, so that a point light source is converted into a surface light source.
The above approaches all have certain drawbacks or limitations:
(1) For the first approach: as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the maximum light emitting angle of the conventional LED light source reaches about 120 °, and a relatively large distance is required between the LED light source 91 and the diffusion plate 92 to achieve a relatively uniform light mixing effect, so that the entire light emitting module is generally thick and can only be applied to lighting industries, such as panel lamps, and the application is very limited.
(2) For the second approach: as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the light emitting angle of the LED light source 91 after the lens 3 is superimposed can reach 135 °, although the light emitting angle is increased, the light emitting from the top surface is greatly reduced, and a more uniform light mixing effect can be achieved in a relatively shorter distance, and since the secondary optical lens is required to be used, the diffusion plate 92 and the secondary optical lens 93 must be spaced apart by a certain distance, and although the thickness is reduced compared with the first mode, the light emitting module cannot achieve an ultrathin effect.
(3) For the third mode, as shown in fig. 6, a fluorescent powder layer 94 is coated on the surface of a light source array formed by a plurality of LED chips 91', so that the lateral propagation and light mixing of white light are slightly increased; however, from optical theory, it is found that when blue light is transmitted through a waveguide containing a phosphor, the intensity of blue light as excitation light is rapidly reduced due to absorption and irregular scattering of the phosphor. As shown in fig. 7, taking a point light source as an example, when the light intensity is transmitted in a waveguide containing fluorescent powder, the intensity is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance in value; as shown in fig. 8, the intensity of the linear light source, when transmitted in a waveguide containing phosphor, is inversely proportional in value to the square of the distance; as shown in fig. 9, the intensity of the surface light source is inversely proportional in value to the distance when the light intensity is transmitted in the waveguide containing the phosphor.
In summary, the first and second surface light sources are not only easy to form dark areas and poor in light mixing uniformity due to the limitation of the light emitting angles of the LED light sources, but also thicker in the whole direct type surface light emitting module, and if the thickness of the whole surface light emitting module is reduced, the reduction of the distance between the adjacent LED light sources can be achieved (see fig. 5), but the required increase of the LED light sources is doubled, and the cost is greatly increased.
The surface light source adopting the third mode solves the problem of the thickness of the module, but the attenuation of the white light obtained by mixing the blue light excited fluorescent powder in the propagation process of the light guide medium is serious, and the blue light excited fluorescent powder is attenuated, so that the intensity of the blue light is reduced, and the transverse propagation intensity along the waveguide direction is reduced; the brightness of the chip is uneven, the light mixing effect is poor, and the brightness of the whole surface of the surface light source is also uneven.

Secondly, the luminous intensity of the light source is successfully and uniformly distributed in the whole luminous angle from the light intensity distribution, and the luminous intensity of the light source is about 73% of the light intensity peak value even under the large-angle range of plus or minus 85 degrees. Whereas in a LED light source of a normal lambertian structure its light output angle is 120 °, i.e. its light output intensity is only half of the peak value when it is at plus or minus 60 ° (see fig. 1).
