Background technology
In general, the primary structure of liquid crystal display (referred to as " LCD ") includes panel and backlight module two large divisions.Wherein faceplate part mainly includes transparent electrode plate, liquid crystal, alignment film, colored filter, polaroid and drive integrated circult etc., and the part of backlight module is mainly comprising fluorescent tube, light guide plate and various blooming pieces etc..
In order to allow light to be more evenly distributed on panel, the more normal practice of current industry is that diffusion barrier or diffuser plate are added in backlight module;Or further the function that light spreads integrated with concentration piece (prism film) or other blooming pieces, for example, forming concave-convex micro-structure to provide diffusion effect on the surface of reflectance coating or reflecting plate.
Known diffusion diaphragm plate, which is mainly, is coated on the composition of an organic or inorganic particle comprising resin-bonded agent and as granule proliferation on base material to form diffusion layer.Light can produce refraction, reflection and scatter when passing through this diffusion layer, therefore, it is such spread diaphragm plate can effective diffusing light, reach effect of equalizing light rays.However, during diffusion layer is formed, granule proliferation is easily assembled or sticked mutually, influence the uniformity of diffusing light and easily display surface is produced dim spot.Furthermore, if granule proliferation inorganic particle, because the density of inorganic matter is typically greater than the resin-bonded agent being made up of organic matter, therefore inorganic particle process easy to process is settled because Action of Gravity Field is produced, and causes quality after coating to differ.In addition, granule proliferation may also come off, and then influence the optical property of diaphragm.

R w = W i W ii
Wherein Wi is the weight of component (i), and Wii is the weight of component (ii).Rw can be used to adjust the surface roughness (or difference of height of concave-convex micro-structure) of the concave-convex micro-structure layer of diffusion barrier of the present invention, and pass through the light scattering effect of the obtained diffusion barrier of this control.For example, according to an embodiment of the present invention, component (i) is modified alkyd resin, component (ii) is the mixture of acrylic ester monomer and acrylate quasi-oligomer, and Rw is preferably the scope between about 0.1 to about 0.8, the more preferably scope between 0.1 5 to about 0.6.In this embodiment, when Rw is less than 0.1, component (i) content is very few, excessively sparse and protrusion is too small in the protrusion density of substrate surface formation, it is impossible to reach the required light scattering effect of the present invention;When Rw is more than 0.8, component (i) easily forms a continuous level in substrate surface, and surface roughness is not enough, it is impossible to reach required light scattering effect.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, component (i) has the proportion more than component (ii).In this embodiment, because the proportion of component (i) is more than the proportion of component (ii), during forming coating and drying removal solvent, component (i) is easier to, effectively it can not only be attached on base material, utilization ratio is lifted, the contact area of component (ii) and base material can be more reduced, it is easily peeled off (peeling) with base material.According to the better embodiment of the present invention, the proportion of component (i) is about 1.25 to about 1.4, and the proportion of component (ii) is about 0.8 to about 1.2.According to another embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive force of component (ii) and base material is less than the adhesive force of component (i) and base material, now more favourable removal in component (ii).
