And, there is the light harvesting function of many diffusion function and brightness enhancement film with diffusion barrier to be integrated into the development research of a blooming at present in order to reach lightening, the purpose such as reduce cost of LCD.Said blooming is in two opposed surface of a base material; Form a diffusion layer and a light-collecting layer respectively; This diffusion layer is towards the light source of LCD; This light-collecting layer utilizes the coarse structure on diffusion layer surface towards the liquid crystal board of LCD, perhaps in diffusion layer, adds the effect that diffusion particulate, bubble with light diffusion reach light diffusion atomizing; In addition, also have diffusion layer is located in the design between this base material and the light-collecting layer, in this diffusion layer, add diffusion particulate or bubble again.The aforementioned patent of utilizing rough surface or non-flat configuration to reach atomizing effect; For example: patent cases such as U.S. Pat 5600462, US5841572, US5598280, US6322236, US6880946, US6356389; And the patent of utilization diffusion particulate or doping bubble; For example: U.S. Pat 2006-0114567, US2006-0290253, US2007-0126074, US2007-0128413, US2007-0164274, US7006293, US20070236938, US5995288, U6280063, patent cases such as Taiwan patent TWI264578, TWM296993, TWM293442.
The patent of above-mentioned doping diffusion particulate or bubble, its diffusion particulate all must make an addition in this diffusion layer, therefore; The blooming of this type all includes three-deckers such as base material, light-collecting layer and diffusion layer simultaneously; In fact, the rete quantity of blooming does not drop to minimum yet, and cost is still high.And the method for making of this type of blooming; Must be used to form the diffusion layer material of this diffusion layer prior to the surface coated one of base material; Be added with the diffusion particulate in this material; Treat that diffusion layer material solidifies the back and forms this diffusion layer,, then also will wait until this light-collecting layer material cured and form light-collecting layer afterwards again in another surface coated light-collecting layer material and the said sheet feeding type of moulding of this base material.
Because each rete of moulding all must be through the rete program curing, cause processing procedure time of above-mentioned blooming long and efficient is slow, cause production capacity can't promote the disappearance still high with manufacturing cost.And this light-collecting layer and base material are unlike material; Base material and diffusion layer also are that unlike material is made; Combination between the rete of unlike material also must be considered linking steady character to each other, so the rete quantity of blooming will more be unfavorable for making so its processing procedure difficulty comparatively the more the time; If any disappearance is arranged in the processing procedure, just possibly cause each rete of this blooming firmly to combine.
