PLANAR ILLUMINATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18040692 titled 'PLANAR ILLUMINATION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
In a planar illumination device, a reflector is securely fixed to a substrate even during temperature changes.
- The device includes a substrate with light sources, a reflector, a bottom frame, a first fixing member for the reflector, and a second fixing member for the substrate and reflector.
- The second fixing member applies more force at the center of the reflector to ensure stability.
Key Features and Innovation
- Secure fixing of reflector to substrate during temperature changes.
- Use of first and second fixing members for stability.
- Varying force application by second fixing member for better support.

Original Abstract Submitted
In a planar illumination device according to an embodiment, a reflector can be stably fixed to a substrate even when a temperature change occurs. A planar illumination device includes a substrate provided with a plurality of light sources at one surface side, a reflector provided at the one surface side of the substrate, a bottom frame provided at a surface side of the substrate opposite to the one surface side, a first fixing member configured to fix a center portion of the reflector in a longitudinal direction to the bottom frame, and a second fixing member configured to fix the one surface of the substrate and the reflector. A force of the second fixing member restricting the substrate and the reflector is greater at a center portion of the reflector in the longitudinal direction than at a portion of the reflector separated in the longitudinal direction from the center portion.
