     TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to a light source device used for illumination of a display device or the like, and a surface light source device equipped with the light source device. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    A general display device comprises a display panel, a circuit board, a light source device and the like. A light source device that irradiates light from the rear surface thereof is either a side light type (edge light type) including a light source on the side surface of an enclosure or a direct type including a light source on the bottom of an enclosure in a position opposed to a display panel. 
         [0004]    Some of the side light type light source devices use a light guide plate in order to guide light from a light source to an opening of an enclosure. A light source device using a light guide plate propagates, inside the light guide plate, light emitted from a linear light source such as a cold-cathode tube or a point light source such as a light emitting diode (hereinafter referred to as an LED) and diffuses the light by way of a diffusion pattern provided in the light guide plate to take out the light in the shape of a plane at the opening of the enclosure. 
         [0005]    With a light source device using a point light source such as an LED as a light-emitting element described above, the luminance of a display screen is enhanced by increasing the number of point light sources thus increasing an element density or increasing the current supplied to each point light source. In any way, heat from each point light source caused by light emission brings the periphery of the point light source at high temperature. 
         [0006]    There is proposed a light source device including a light source substrate mounting heat-dissipating means, the light source substrate composed of a flexible printed circuit board (hereinafter referred to as an FPC) mounting point light sources and a wiring pattern to feed power to each light source (for example, Patent Reference 1 (Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 2006-210183) and Patent Reference 2 (Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 2002-229022)). A surface lighting device  1  disclosed in Patent Reference 1 is arranged so that a heat-transmitting part  10   a  provided in a recessed part  10  formed on the side wall  8  of a frame  6  made of a metallic material will come into contact with a mounting surface  3   d  of each of the point light sources  3  thus receiving the light sources  3  in the recessed part  10 . An FPC  4  as a light source substrate and the point light sources  3  are fixed together with a conductive adhesive  12 . The technique disclosed in Patent Reference 1 uses this arrangement to efficiently transmit heat generated by the light emission of the point light source  3  by way of a metallic frame  6  thus enhancing the heat dissipation, which allows the element density of the point light source  3  and the current supplied to each point light source  3 . 
         [0007]    In a backlight device disclosed in Patent Reference 2, a soft metallic sheet  7  for dissipating heat from a light-emitting diode  2  formed in almost the same shape as a film wiring board  4  is bonded with adhesive to a surface opposite to the surface of the film wiring board  4  on which the light-emitting diode  2  is mounted, thus covering a metallic reflector  8 . The technique disclosed in Patent Reference 2 uses this arrangement to effectively transmit heat generated on the light-emitting diode  2  as a light source to the film wiring board  4  and a heat-dissipating member such as the soft metallic sheet  7  without letting the heat fill the backlight device itself. 
         [0008]    However, the light source devices disclosed in Patent Reference 1 and Patent Reference 2 have following disadvantages. For example, although a light source substrate and a heat-dissipating member are fixed together with an adhesive, the adhesive peels off over time. 
         [0009]    When a metallic plate such as an MCPCB (Metal Core Printed-Circuit Board) is used for a light source substrate in order to prevent the peel-off, the resulting cost is higher than that of using an FPC.

       Embodiment 1 
       [0028]    As shown in  FIG. 1  or  2 , a numeral  1  represents a box-shaped rear frame  1  having an opening  1   a.  A light source device  31  for emitting light is arranged on an inner side surface  1   b  as a side surface of the inner wall of the rear frame  1 . A reflector  2 , which guides light emitted from the light source device  31  toward the opening  1   a,  is arranged on the bottom surface  1   c  of the inner wall of the rear frame  1 . An almost rectangular light guide plate  7  for propagating, in the shape of a plane, light emitted from the light source device  31  is arranged inside the rear frame  1 . An incidence surface  7   b  as a side surface of the light guide plate  7  is arranged in a position opposite to a light-emitting part  31   a  of the light source device  31  from which light is emitted. The rear frame  1  is fitted to a front frame  8  including an opening to provide a surface light source device  32 . A display panel  9  and a circuit board  10  for driving and controlling the display panel  9  are arranged on the exit surface of the surface light source device  32 . A front frame  11  including an opening  11   a  is fitted to the surface light source device  32  to provide a display device  33 . 
         [0029]    Next, the light source device  31  according to Embodiment 1 will be detailed referring to drawings. As described earlier, in  FIG. 1 , the light source device  31  is arranged on the inner side surface  1   b  of the rear frame  1 . As shown in  FIGS. 3 and 4 , the light source device  31  includes an almost rectangular light source substrate  4  on which point light sources  3  are mounted, a light source substrate cover  5  arranged on the surface  41  of the light source substrate  4  mounting the point light sources  3 , and a support member  6  arranged opposite to a rear surface  42 . The point light source  3  is made of, for example, a light-emitting diode for emitting light of red, green, blue, or white color or an intermediate color thereof. A single point light source or a plurality of point light sources  3  is arranged and mounted on the light source substrate  4  via soldering. In case plural point light sources  3  are mounted, a particular color of light may be selected depending on the application. A combination of colors may be selected as required. The point light sources  3  may be arranged in desired positions and with desired spacing depending on the application or purpose. In Embodiment 1, plural point light sources  3  are mounted on the light source substrate  4  in an almost straight line and with same spacing. 
         [0030]    As shown in  FIGS. 2 to 4 , the light source substrate  4  of the light source device  31  includes a recessed part  4   a  in a position where a projection  5   b  provided on a light source substrate cover  5  and a recessed part  6   a  provided on the support member  6  overlap one on the other. The light source substrate  4  maybe a glass epoxy substrate, metal base substrate, a flexible substrate or the like. A wiring pattern (not shown) for feeding power to the point light sources  3  is arranged on the light source substrate  4 . 
         [0031]    As shown in  FIGS. 2 to 5 , the light source substrate cover  5  is arranged on the surface  41  of the light source substrate  4  mounting the point light sources  3 . Through holes  5   a  are formed on the light source substrate cover  5 , and the through holes  5   a  are formed in a position where the through holes  5   a  is arranged opposite to the point light sources  3  on the light source substrate  4 . A projection  5   b  protruding from a rear surface  52  is arranged between the through holes  5   a,  and arranged on the side of a top surface  53  and a bottom surface  54 . As shown in  FIG. 5 , the projection  5   b  comprises a tip  5   c  fitted in a recessed part  6   a  provided on the support member  6 . As shown in  FIG. 2 , by forming the light source substrate cover  5  thicker than the point light source  3  so that the point light source  3  mounted on the light source substrate  4  will not protrude from the through hole  5   a,  as described below, it is possible to prevent the point light source  3  from being damaged while being in contact with the rear frame  1 , front frame  2 , light guide plate  7  or the like upon assembling the light source device  31  into the display device  32  or in an attempt to remove the light source device  31 . The through hole  5   a  may be a notch and may have any shape as long as the shape receives a light source. The light source substrate cover  5  is made of a plastic resin, a metal, or a material including a metallic material. The light source substrate cover  5  may be formed of a single member or a combination of plural members. The light source substrate cover  5  desirably includes a surface formed of a high reflection member in a white color or having a mirror surface so that light emitted from the point light source  3  is directed to the light guide plate  7 . 
         [0032]    As shown in  FIGS. 2 to 5 , the support member  6  is formed in the same size equal to or larger than that of the light source substrate  4  and arranged on the side of the rear surface  42  of the light source substrate  4  thus preventing warp or displacement of the light source substrate  4 . The top surface  61  and bottom surface  62  of the support member  6  are provided with recessed parts  6   a  for fitting to the light source substrate cover  5 . As shown in  FIGS. 3 and 5 , the recessed part  6   a  is a recessed part  6   a  with a different step height on the front surface  63  or on the rear surface  64 , and the recessed part  6   a  is formed so that the projection  5   b  and the tip  5   c  of the light source substrate cover  5  will not protrude from the rear surface  64  and the top surface  61  of the support member  6 . While the support member  6  may be formed of a plastic resin, the support member  6  may be formed of a metal with high thermal conductivity including aluminum, stainless steel, iron or copper, or a material including such a metal in order to enhance the heat dissipating effect. The support member  6  may be formed of a single member or a combination of plural members. 
         [0033]    Next, a method for assembling the light source device  31  will be described referring to  FIG. 3 . First, the light source device  31  is arranged so that the rear surface  42  of the light source substrate  4  mounting the light sources  3  will overlap the front surface  63  of the support member  6 . Next, arrangement is made so that the recessed part  4   a  of the light source substrate  4  will match the recessed part  6   a  of the support member  6 . Next, the through holes  5   a  of the light source substrate cover  5  are arranged so as to fit over the point light sources  3 . The projection  5   b  is aligned with the position of the support member  6  where the recessed part  6   a  of the support member  6  is formed and the projection  5   b  and the tip  5   c  are fitted in the recessed part  6   a.  In this procedure, a double-faced tape, an adhesive, or grease with high thermal conductivity may be used to fix the light source substrate  4  to the support member  6 . This enhances adhesion of the light source substrate  4  to the support member  6  thus improving the heat dissipation. Even in case an adhesive is degraded over time, it is possible to firmly fix the light source substrate  4  and the support member  6  together by fitting and fixing the members to each other. 
         [0034]    As shown in  FIGS. 3 and 5 , in the light source device  31 , at least two fitting parts formed of the projection  5   b  and the tip  5   c  of the light source substrate cover  5 , the recessed part of the light source substrate  4 , and the recessed part  6   a  of the support member  6  are formed at each member to fix the members. By arranging the fitting parts in four positions, that is, two positions on the top surface ( 53 ,  61 ) and two positions on the bottom surface ( 54 ,  62 ), fixing of the members are made reliable. 
         [0035]    While the projection  5   a  and the tip  5   c  for fitting are provided on the light source substrate cover  5  and the recessed part  6   a  for fitting is provided on the support member  6  in this embodiment, the recessed part may be provided on the light source substrate cover  5  and the projection and tip may be provided on the support member  6 . In this way, the positions and numbers of fitting parts may be arbitrarily changed. 
         [0036]    As shown in  FIG. 6 , a projection  5   d  for positioning is arranged on the light source substrate cover  5  and positioning holes for the projection  5   d  are provided in the light source substrate  4  ( 4   b ) and the support member  6  ( 6   b ). They are separately from the above-described fitting part and positioning. By forming the projection for positioning and corresponding positioning holes and performing positioning, it is possible to prevent displacement of the light source substrate cover  5 , light source substrate  4  and support member  6  that could occur in the process of assembling the light source device  31  and the process of assembling the display device  33 . While a projection is provided on the light source substrate cover  5  in this example, positions and shapes of a projection for positioning and positioning holes maybe changed as required. For example, a projection may be provided on the support member  6 . 
         [0037]    Next, a method for assembling the light source device  31  of Embodiment 1 into the display device  33  will be described.  FIG. 7  is an enlarged view of main parts assumed when the light source device  31  is assembled into the surface light source device  32 . 
         [0038]    As described above, in the light source device  31 , the light source substrate cover  5  and the support member  6  sandwich the light source substrate  4  to support the same so as to firmly fix the light source substrate  4  and the support member  6  together. It is thus possible to move the light source device  31  along the inner side surface  1   b  of the rear frame  1  to assemble the light source device  31  into the surface light source  32 . Before the light source device  31  is assembled along the inner side surface  1   b,  a through hole  12  for inserting the light source device  31  is formed in the side surface  1   d  of the rear frame  1  and the side surface of the front frame  8  of the surface light source device  32 . The light source device  31  is inserted from the through hole  12 , along the inner side surface  1   b  of the rear frame  1  in the direction of arrow C. In case the light source device  31  is faulty and must be replaced with spare, the light source device  31  may be readily removed by pulling it out of the through hole  12  in the direction of arrow D. In  FIG. 1 , if wishing to arrange the light source device  31  in a replaceable fashion in the display device  33 , a through hole is formed in the front frame  11  in a position corresponding to the through hole  12 . 
         [0039]    As described above, the light source device  31  according to the invention includes a light source substrate  4  mounting the light sources  3 . The light source substrate cover  5  is arranged on the surface  41  of the light source substrate  4  mounting the point light sources  3 . The support member  6  is arranged on the rear surface  42 . The light source substrate cover  5  and the support member  6  sandwich the light source substrate  4  to support the same, which prevents deformation of or slack in the light source substrate  4  and efficiently transmits heat from the point light sources  3  to the support member  6 . The projection  5   b  and the tip  5   c  of the light source substrate cover  5  are matched with the position of the support member  6  where the recessed part  6   a  is formed. The projection  5   b  and the tip  5   c  are fitted in the recessed part  6   a  and the members are fixed together, thus firmly fixing the light source substrate  4  to the support member  6 . Further, the light source device  31  may be inserted/removed into/from the through hole  12  provided in the surface light source device  32 . It is thus possible to readily replace the light source device  31  with spare in case the light source device  31  has gone faulty. 
         [0040]    As shown in the enlarged view of main parts of  FIG. 8 , as a variation of the light source device  31  of this embodiment, a tapered part  5   g  is provided at the through hole  5   a  of the light source substrate cover  5  for receiving the point light source  3 . The tapered part  5   g  is arranged on the inner side surface forming the through hole  5   a  provided in the light source substrate cover  5 , so as to slant the through hole  5   a  and enlarge the same from the rear surface  52  as a surface opposite to the mounting surface  41  of the light source substrate  4  toward the front surface  51  as a surface opposite to the rear surface  52 . When the light source device  31  including the tapered part  5   g  is assembled into the display device  33  shown in  FIG. 1 , light emitted from the point light source  3  may be reflected on the tapered part  5   g  to be directed to the light guide plate  7 . This eliminates reflection losses at the light source substrate cover  5  and efficiently causes light emitted from the point light source  3  to be incident on the light guide plate  7 . 
         [0041]    As shown in the enlarged view of main parts of  FIG. 9 , as another variation of the light source device  31  of this embodiment, a chamfered part  5   f  is formed at an end of the light source substrate cover  5 . The chamfered part  5   f  is formed at the insertion-starting end of the light source substrate cover  5  before the light source device  31  is inserted from the through hole  12  so as to enhance the workability. Further, as shown in  FIG. 10 , a projecting part  5   e  is arranged at an end of the light source substrate cover  5  where insertion of the light source device  31  is finished. By arranging the projecting part  5   e,  it is possible to prevent leakage of light from the through hole  12  as well as cause light destined to the projecting part  5   e  to reflect toward the light guide plate  7 . 
         [0042]    While the light source device  31  is arranged on one side of the inner side surface  1   b  of the rear frame  1  in this embodiment, the light source devices  31  may be arranged on two to four sides to enhance and make uniform the luminance. 
         [0043]    The rear frame  1  is made of a metal with high thermal conductivity including aluminum, stainless steel, iron or copper, or a plastic resin. The rear frame  1  may be composed as a single member or a combination of plural members as required. 
         [0044]    The front frame  8  is made of a metal with high thermal conductivity including aluminum, stainless steel, iron or copper, or a plastic resin. The front frame  8  may be composed as a single member or a combination of plural members as required. 
         [0045]    A display panel  9  may be a liquid crystal panel. A liquid crystal panel is composed of a pair of reflectors sandwiching in a bonding fashion a pair of glass substrates (top and bottom) which are sealed with a sealant and between which a liquid crystal is injected. The display panel  9  is coupled to a circuit board  10 , such as a flexible substrate on which a driving IC chip is mounted, for driving and controlling the display panel  9 . 
         [0046]    An optical sheet such as a diffusion sheet, a prism sheet or a polarization reflection sheet, or a plate-shaped light diffusion member is arranged between the display panel  9  and the light guide plate  7  in order to enhance the display performance. 
         [0047]    The material of the light guide plate  7  is generally a highly transparent material such as PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate) or PC (Polycarbonate). It is favorable to provide a certain amount of distance between the point light source  3  and the light guide plate  7  in order to prevent degradation of the light guide plate  7  attributable to heat from the point light source  3  in use under high temperatures. As in Embodiment 1, it is possible to provide a certain amount of distance between the point light source  3  and the light guide plate  7  by providing the light source substrate cover  5  with a thickness greater than that of the point light source  3 . 
       Embodiment 2 
       [0048]      FIG. 11  is an exploded perspective view of a display device showing according to Embodiment 2 of the invention.  FIG. 12  is a cross-sectional view of the display device in  FIG. 11  in an assembled state taken in the direction of arrow E-E. As shown in  FIGS. 11 and 12 , a light source device  34  in Embodiment 2 includes a support member  6  arranged on the rear surface  42  of the light source substrate  4  but does not include a light source substrate cover  5  such as one in Embodiment 1 arranged on the surface  41  of the light source substrate  4  mounting point light sources  3 . The light source device  34  is fitted to a projection  1   f  formed on the rear frame  1  and a recessed part  8   b  formed of the rear frame  1  and a front frame  8  to support the light source substrate  4  and the support member  6 . Embodiment 2 is different from Embodiment 1 only in that the light source device  34  is fitted to the projection  1   f  formed on the rear frame  1  and the recessed part  8   b  formed of the rear frame  1  and the front frame  8  to support the light source substrate  4  and the support member  6 . The remaining configuration is the same as that of Embodiment 1. 
         [0049]    In  FIGS. 11 and 12 , a projection  1   f  is formed on part of a bottom surface  1   c  opposite to the opening  1   a  of the rear frame  1 , and the projection  1   f  includes one side of the bottom surface  1   c  and forms convex from inside to outside. By fitting the light source device  34  to the inner wall of the projection  1   f,  the light source substrate  4  and the support member  6  are supported. In the process, the support member  6  is arranged opposite to the inner side surface  1   b  of the rear frame  1 . The mounting surface  41  of the light source substrate  4  is arranged opposite to a support part  1   e  forming part of the projection  1   f.    
         [0050]    A recessed part  8   b  is formed of an inner side surface  1   b  of the rear frame  1  and part of the side surface  8   a  of the front frame  8  having a side surface  8   a  arranged in opposite position and fitted to the inner side surface  1   b  of the rear frame  1 . The light source device  34  is fitted in the recessed part  8   b.  The mounting surface  41  of the light source substrate  4  is arranged opposite to the support part  8   c  formed at the recessed part  8   b  and fits, together with the inner side surface  1   b  of the rear frame  1 , the light source substrate  4  and the support member  6  and supports them. 
         [0051]    The method for assembling the light source device  34  into the surface light source device  32  according to Embodiment 2 fits the light source device  34  to the inner wall of the projection  1   f  formed on part of the bottom surface  1   c  of the rear frame  1 . In the process, the support member  6  is arranged opposite to the inner side surface  1   b  of the rear frame  1 . The mounting surface  41  of the light source substrate  4  is arranged opposite to a support part  1   e  forming part of the projection. Next, a reflector  2  and a light guide plate  7  are arranged. The front frame  8  is fitted to the rear frame  1  and the light source device  34  is fitted in the recessed part  8   b.    
         [0052]    As described above, the surface light source device  32  according to Embodiment 2 forms, on part of a bottom surface  1   c  opposite to the opening  1   a  of the rear frame  1 , a projection  1   f  including one side of the bottom surface  1   c  and becoming convex from inside to outside and fits the light source device  34  in the recessed part  8   b  to the inner wall of the projection  1   f  and in the recessed part  8   b  formed of the rear frame  1  and the front frame  8 . This firmly fixes the light source substrate  4  and the support member  6 . 
         [0053]    The projection  1   f  formed on the bottom surface  1   c  of the rear frame  1  may be arranged along the light source substrate  4  or support part of the light source substrate  4 . In Embodiment 2, while the light source device  34  is supported by fitting the light source device  34  to the projection  1   f  formed on the rear frame  1  or in the recessed part  8   b  formed of the rear frame  1  and the front frame  8 , any shape may be used as long as the shape allows fitting of the light source device to the rear frame  1  and the front frame  8 . The position where the recessed part  8   b  is formed may be changed in various ways. 
         [0054]    The support member  6  may be fixed to the rear frame  1  via a screw or an adhesive so as to dissipate heat from the light source substrate  4  via the support member  6 .
