Abstract:
1. A reflector, comprising: a sheet metal back chassis which includes a light source supporting section, a through-hole or groove for extracting a light source electrode terminal, a frame for supporting a light diffusing plate and an optical film, and a light diffusing plate support which are integrally formed in the sheet metal back chassis as a single metal-worked sheet metal unit; and a light reflecting layer made of a light reflective thermoplastic resin material which is heat formed onto an inside surface of the sheet metal back chassis such that the sheet metal back chassis and the light reflecting layer are modularized into a single unit by integrating, the sheet metal back chassis serving as a supporting substrate, and the integrating performed by inserting the sheet metal back chassis and by heat forming the light reflecting layer by a vacuum pressure forming method, a heat forming method, or a vacuum laminate forming method.
