Abstract

A light source device which includes a light source, a diffusion member configured to diffuse light from the light source, a reflection sheet configured to reflect the light from the light source to the diffusion member, a storage housing in which the diffusion member and the reflection sheet are stored to face each other, and positioning parts configured to position the diffusion member and the reflection sheet in the storage housing is provided. And the reflection sheet is provided with convex parts in one edge part thereof at positions corresponding, in a facing direction, to notches of the diffusion member which correspond to the positioning parts, such that light reflectance in the vicinity of the notches of the diffusion member is increased.

First claim

1 - 15 . (canceled)

16 . A light source device which includes a light source, a diffusion member configured to diffuse light from the light source, a reflection sheet configured to reflect the light from the light source to the diffusion member, a storage housing in which the diffusion member and the reflection sheet are stored to face each other, and positioning parts which are provided in the storage housing and position the diffusion member and the reflection sheet in the storage housing,
wherein the diffusion member is provided with notches corresponding to the positioning parts in one side surface part thereof, the reflection sheet has concaves and convexes in one edge part corresponding to the one side surface part of the diffusion member, and the notches of the diffusion member are disposed to correspond to convex parts of the one edge part of the reflection sheet in the facing direction in which the diffusion member and the reflection sheet face each other.

17 . The light source device according to claim 16 , wherein residual part other than the notches of the one side surface part of the diffusion member is disposed to correspond to concave parts of the one edge part of the reflection sheet in the facing direction.

18 . The light source device according to claim 16 , wherein the convex parts of the reflection sheet have lacking parts having a similar figure to the notches at positions corresponding to the notches of the diffusion member in the facing direction.

19 . The light source device according to claim 18 , wherein the lacking part of the reflection sheet is substantially a triangle.

20 . The light source device according to claim 18 , wherein the lacking part of the reflection sheet is substantially a circle.

21 . The light source device according to claim 16 , wherein the convex part of the reflection sheet includes a fluorescent agent.

22 . The light source device according to claim 21 , wherein the fluorescent agent has a constant reflection spectral distribution characteristic.

23 . A light source device which includes a light source, a diffusion member configured to diffuse light from the light source, a reflection sheet configured to reflect the light from the light source to the diffusion member, a storage housing in which the diffusion member and the reflection sheet are stored to face each other, and positioning parts which are provided in the storage housing and position the diffusion member and the reflection sheet in the storage housing,
wherein the diffusion member is provided with notches corresponding to the positioning parts in one side surface part thereof, the diffusion member has residual part other than the notches of the one side surface part, which faces a bottom of the storage housing in the facing direction in which the diffusion member and the reflection sheet face each other, and a film is formed on a portion of the bottom of the storage housing, the portion facing the residual part, and has a lower reflectance than the other portions.

24 . The light source device according to claim 23 , wherein the film of the storage housing has a constant reflection spectral distribution characteristic.

25 . The light source device according to claim 23 , wherein the film of the storage housing is formed by printing of a plurality of dots.

26 . The light source device according to claim 25 , wherein the dots have a diameter which is configured so as to be decreased toward a central part of the bottom of the storage housing.

27 . The light source device according to claim 16 , wherein the diffusion member includes one surface to emit light, which has a lens shape.

28 . The light source device according to claim 23 , wherein the diffusion member includes one surface to emit light, which has a lens shape.

29 . The light source device according to claim 16 , wherein the diffusion member includes one surface to emit light, which has diffusion beads.

30 . The light source device according to claim 23 , wherein the diffusion member includes one surface to emit light, which has diffusion beads.

31 . The light source device according to claim 16 , wherein the diffusion member includes the diffusion beads.

32 . The light source device according to claim 23 , wherein the diffusion member includes the diffusion beads.

33 . A display apparatus comprising:
the light source device according to claim 16 , and a display panel which is provided on one surface side of the diffusion member, and displays an image using light made incident thereon through the diffusion member.
