Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small light source having a function of automatically correcting effect of deterioration with the passage of time. SOLUTION: This is a light source (50) having a photodetectors (58, 60, 72, 75) embedded in a light pipe (52). The light pipe (52) has a layer of transparent material and the layer of the transparent material has an upper face and a bottom face, and further, a first and a second opposed side faces crossing the upper and the bottom faces. The photodetectors (58, 60, 72, 75) are embedded in the layer at a position adjoining the second side face, and a plurality of emitters (11, 101-106) are arranged so as to make the light couple with the layer of a material at the critical angle or smaller of the layer from the first end face. The bottom face can have a projection (22) to diffuse the light upward. The controller (71) adjusts the intensity of light of the various kinds of emitters (11, 106-106), according to the intensity of light detected by the photodetectors (58, 60, 72, 75). The light, emitted from the upper face of the light pipe (52), can be used for illumination of the display. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
