As the optical sheet with diffuse etc., known have the surface to form irregular.For example, in patent documentation 3, the light diffusing patch that is formed with a plurality of point-like protuberances at substrate surface is disclosed.Patent documentation 3 described optical sheets spray ink through ink-jet on substrate, form the protuberance of point-like through making the ink set.
Patent documentation 3: TOHKEMY 2004-157430 communique
The mode spacing (modal pitch) that known surface is formed with by the fine wavy concavo-convex relief pattern that constitutes, relief pattern is that the following relief pattern of wavelength of visible light forms sheet, can be used as optical elements such as antireflection object, polarizer and uses (with reference to non-patent literature 1).
Relief pattern forms sheet and can be used as the antireflection object utilization, is owing to following reason.
When the sheet surface is not provided with relief pattern,,, refractive index causes producing reflection because sharply changing at the interface of sheet and air.But on the surface of sheet, be that the layout setting of sheet and air is when having wavy relief pattern; In the relief pattern part; Refractive index be shown as air refraction and relief pattern form value between the refractive index of sheet (below; Be called middle refractive index), and this middle refractive index changes along the depth direction of relief pattern continuously.Particularly, the position is dark more, forms the refractive index of sheet more near relief pattern.Because middle refractive index changes like this continuously, rapid variation can not take place in the refractive index at above-mentioned such interface, can suppress reflection of light.In addition, the spacing of relief pattern is wavelength of visible light when following, partly is difficult for taking place visible diffraction of light at relief pattern, promptly by visible interference of light cause painted.
In addition, relief pattern form sheet can be used as the polarizer utilization be because, in the part of relief pattern, the mutually different air of refractive index disposes with relief pattern formation sheet alternately, the result manifests optical anisotropy to light.Further, the spacing of relief pattern identical with wavelength of visible light or be its when following, appear at the phenomenon that wide visible wavelength region shows equal phase differential.
Form the instantiation of sheet as such relief pattern; For example; In non-patent literature 2; Gold evaporation is to form metal level on a face of the warmed-up sheet that is made up of dimethyl silicone polymer in proposition, and cooling makes the sheet that is made up of dimethyl silicone polymer shrink then, obtains having formed at layer on surface of metal the sheet of wavy relief pattern.
In addition, in patent documentation 4, propose to form basalis and metal level successively, make the thermal shrinkage of heat-shrinkable film of synthetic resin then, obtain being formed with the sheet of wavy relief pattern at layer on surface of metal on the surface of heat-shrinkable film of synthetic resin.
In patent documentation 5, propose to form by meeting because the layer that exposure-processed causes the material of volumetric contraction to constitute through this layer is carried out exposure-processed, obtains forming irregular on the surface.
Yet the relief pattern that patent documentation 4,5 and non-patent literature 2 are put down in writing forms sheet, does not show excellent properties as optical element.Particularly, can't fully reduce reflectivity when using, in addition, when using, can't fully increase phase differential, can not produce equal phase differential in wide wavelength region may in addition as polarizer as antireflection object.
In addition, as making the method that relief pattern forms sheet, the known photoetching process of utilizing visible light that the use pattern mask is arranged.Yet this method can't be made the relief pattern with the spacing below the light wavelength that can be used as optical element and form sheet.Therefore, need utilization can carry out more ultraviolet laser interferometric method, the electron ray photoetching process of microfabrication.These methods are resist layer exposures of utilizing ultraviolet laser interference light, electron ray to make to form on the substrate, develop, and form the corrosion-resisting pattern layer, as mask, form concaveconvex shape through dry etching method etc. with this corrosion-resisting pattern layer.Yet, when being suitable for ultraviolet laser interferometric method, electron ray photoetching process, be difficult to the wide zone that surpasses 10cm is processed, there is the mass-produced problem that is not suitable for.
In addition, in patent documentation 6, propose on substrate, to dispose stratum granulosum, as etching mask, substrate surface is carried out the method for dry etching with stratum granulosum.Yet this method also is difficult to the wide zone that surpasses 30cm is processed, and has the mass-produced problem that is not suitable for.

Attempting through concavo-convex diffusion of light, the reflex time controlled; When if being spaced apart between jog is suitable with the light wavelength degree; Can produce because interference causes painted problem, in addition, during the exceedance 10 μ m of this interval; May produce can visual identification bright line etc., therefore expect being spaced apart below the 20 μ m between jog.Yet the optical sheet that patent documentation 3 is put down in writing if be spaced apart several 10 μ m~several 100 μ m between jog, can form stable interval, but want to obtain the interval below the 20 desired μ m, then difficulty relatively.
In addition,, make optical characteristics such as diffuse inhomogeneous sometimes, thereby its position in regulation is uprised or step-down becomes inhomogeneous for optical sheet.For example, employed LGP in the back light unit of liquid crystal indicator is in order to prevent to mirror on the LGP surface image of the linear light source that is configured in its side end face, with near the diffuse raising of the bright dipping side surface this linear light source of LGP.In addition, in liquid crystal indicator, use have a plurality of linear light sources, point source of light under during the type back light unit, it is improved from the diffuse directly over it between linear light source, the point source of light gradually.
Form irregular optical sheet for the surface; Inhomogeneous for its optical characteristics is adjusted into, consider to change the interval between jog according to the position, but the optical sheet of being put down in writing in the patent documentation 3; Interval between jog is made as below the 20 μ m; Then be difficult to changing at interval, therefore, thereby the optical sheet that patent documentation 3 is put down in writing is difficult to make optical characteristics to uprise or step-down becomes inhomogeneous at assigned position.

Never be prone to the infringement light transmission and consider that with respect to 100 mass parts the 1st resin, the content of light diffusing agent is preferably below 10 mass parts.
In addition, when relief pattern is formed sheet 10 as diffuser, be purpose with further raising diffusion effect, can in base material 11, contain micro air bubble not having in the scope of big infringement to optical characteristics such as light transmissions.Micro air bubble is difficult for reducing light transmission less to the absorption of light.
As the formation method of micro air bubble, be useful in the method (for example, japanese kokai publication hei 5-212811 communique, the disclosed method of japanese kokai publication hei 6-107842 communique) of sneaking into gas-development agent in the base material 11; The acrylic acid series Foamex is carried out foaming treatment make its method that contains micro air bubble (for example, the disclosed method of TOHKEMY 2004-2812 communique) etc.Further, consider, preferably make foam unevenly in the certain location method of (for example, the disclosed method of TOHKEMY 2006-124499 communique) of micro air bubble from carrying out more face irradiation uniformly.
In addition, can make up use aforementioned lights diffusion agent and micro air bubble.
The thickness of hard layer 12 is preferably above 0.05 μ m and below 5 μ m, more preferably 0.1~2 μ m.The thickness of hard layer is for surpassing 0.05 μ m and when 5 μ m are following, easily as after state such manufacturing relief pattern formation sheet.
In addition, be purpose to improve adaptation, to form finer structure, can between base material 11 and hard layer 12, form prime coat.
The mode spacing A that relief pattern forms the relief pattern 12a of sheet 10 is above 1 μ m and below 20 μ m, is preferably above 1 μ m and below 10 μ m.When mode spacing A is lower than 1 μ m, transmittance, when surpassing 20 μ m, the diffuse variation.
Be 100% o'clock with mode spacing A, the mean depth B of the bottom 12b of relief pattern 12a is (that is, length breadth ratio is more than 0.1) more than 10%, is preferably (that is, length breadth ratio is more than 0.3) more than 30%.With mode spacing A is 100%, and mean depth B is lower than at 10% o'clock, uses with operation sheet master as the diffuser manufacturing even relief pattern is formed sheet 10, also is difficult to obtain the high diffuser of diffuse.
In addition, considering from the viewpoint of easy formation relief pattern 12a, is being 100% o'clock with mode spacing A, and mean depth B is preferably (that is, length breadth ratio is below 3.0) below 300%, more preferably (that is, length breadth ratio is below 2.0) below 200%.
Here said bottom 12b is meant the minimum value of the recess of relief pattern 12a; Mean depth B is meant; When observing the cross section (with reference to Fig. 2) along its length relief pattern is formed after sheet 10 cuts off, from forming the whole parallel datum line L of face direction of sheet 10 with relief pattern 1Length B to each protuberance top 1, B 2, B 3... mean value (B AV), and from datum line L 1Arrive the length b of the bottom of each recess 1, b 2, b 3... mean value (b AV) poor (b AV-B AV).
The top of aforementioned protuberance and the bottom of aforementioned recess are the parts that the opposition side with base material 11 sides at hard layer 12 joins.
As the method for measuring mean depth B, adopt the image in the cross section of the relief pattern that obtains through the atomic force microscope photograph to measure the respectively degree of depth of bottom, try to achieve the method for their mean value.
From obtaining the viewpoint of the high diffuser of light diffusing anisotropy, preferred relief pattern 12a is crawling to a certain degree, and the spacing between adjacent protuberance is disperseed along the direction of relief pattern 12a.Here, the dispersion of the orientation of relief pattern 12a is called the degree of orientation.The degree of orientation is big more, is orientated overstepping the bounds of propriety loosing.This degree of orientation is tried to achieve through following method.
At first, through of the top photograph of surface optics microscope, be gray scale file (for example, tiff form etc.) with this image transformation to relief pattern.In the image (with reference to Fig. 3) of gray scale file, whiteness is low more, the bottom of expression recess darker (whiteness is high more, and the top of expression protuberance is high more).Then, the image to the gray scale file carries out Fourier transform.Fig. 4 shows the image behind the Fourier transform.The white portion that expands both sides from the center of the image of Fig. 4 to comprised relief pattern 12a spacing and towards information.
Then, the picture centre along continuous straight runs from Fig. 4 draws boost line L 2, to the mapping of the brightness on this boost line (with reference to Fig. 5).The transverse axis of the figure of Fig. 5 is represented the inverse of spacing, and the longitudinal axis is represented frequency, and the 1/X reciprocal of the value X that frequency is maximum representes the mode spacing of relief pattern 12a.
Then, in Fig. 4, draw and boost line L 2Boost line L perpendicular to value X part 3, to this boost line L 3On brightness mapping (with reference to Fig. 6).Wherein, for can more various concaveconvex structures, the transverse axis of Fig. 6 be divided by the numerical value after the value of X.The transverse axis of Fig. 6 is the index (orientation) of expression with respect to the inclined degree of concavo-convex formation direction (above-below direction among Fig. 3), and the longitudinal axis is represented frequency.In the mapping of Fig. 6, the half breadth W of peak value 1The degree of orientation of (frequency is the peak width on the height of a peaked half) expression relief pattern.Half value broadband W 1Big more, the spacing that expression is crawled is overstepping the bounds of propriety looses.
The above-mentioned degree of orientation is preferably 0.3~1.0.Owing to the degree of orientation is 0.3~1.0 o'clock, the dispersion of the spacing of relief pattern 12a is big more, this relief pattern is formed sheet become higher with the diffuse of using this relief pattern formation sheet as the diffuser of operation sheet master use.Because the degree of orientation surpasses at 1.0 o'clock, it is unordered that the direction of relief pattern becomes to a certain extent, though therefore diffuse can uprise, anisotropy has the tendency of step-down.
In order to make the degree of orientation is 0.3~1.0, when making relief pattern formation sheet, selects suitable method, makes it receive the effect of necessary compression stress.
Constitute the glass transition temperature Tg of the 2nd resin of hard layer 12 2Glass transition temperature Tg with the 1st resin that constitutes base material 11 1Poor (Tg 2-Tg 1) be that relief pattern of the present invention more than 10 ℃ forms sheet 10, can through after the relief pattern the stated manufacturing approach that forms sheet make, therefore can make easily.
In addition; The result found after the inventor etc. studied, and when base material 11 and hard layer 12 were all transparent, the mode spacing A that relief pattern of the present invention forms the relief pattern 12a of sheet 10 was above 1 μ m and below 20 μ m; With aforementioned mode spacing A is 100% o'clock; The mean depth B of the bottom 12b of relief pattern 12a is more than 10%, and it has sufficient diffuse, therefore can be used as diffuser and uses.
But relief pattern of the present invention forms the qualification that sheet does not receive above-mentioned embodiment.For example, the top of the protuberance of the relief pattern of relief pattern formation sheet of the present invention also can be sharp.Yet, consider that from the viewpoint that the anisotropy that makes diffusion becomes higher the shape of the protuberance of relief pattern is preferably the top and has slyness.
(relief pattern forms sheet-2)
Further; Research such as the inventor is the back result find, is below the 1 μ m through the mode spacing A that makes relief pattern 12a, below 0.04 μ m; With mode spacing A is 100% o'clock; The mean depth B of the bottom 12b of relief pattern 12a is more than 10%, when above, can bring into play excellent performance as optical element in particular for 100%.Particularly, reflectivity can be lower when finding relief pattern formed sheet 10 and uses as antireflection object, in addition, and can be when using at the wide equal phase differential of scope generation as polarizer.
This be because, the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a is short like this below the 1 μ m, and is 100% o'clock with mode spacing A, mean depth B is dark like this more than 10%.That is, mode spacing A is short, and is identical with wavelength of visible light or be below it, is difficult for producing owing to concavo-convex visible diffraction of light, the diffusion that causes.And, elongated because mean depth B is dark along the middle refractive index continually varying part of thickness direction, can significantly bring into play the effect that suppresses the light reflection.In addition, because mode spacing A is short, mean depth B is dark, and along thickness direction, the part that mutually different air of refractive index and relief pattern formation sheet dispose each other is elongated, and the anisotropic part of display optical is elongated, therefore can produce phase differential.Further, roughly the same in wide scope by the phase differential of such relief pattern 12a generation.
At this moment, with respect to base material 11, the refractive index of hard layer 12 is low, but because can obtain high preventing reflection characteristic, so preferred.
Further, the thickness of hard layer 12 is preferably 1~100nm.The thickness of hard layer 12 is 1nm when above, and hard layer 12 is difficult for producing defectives, and thickness is 100nm when following, can fully guarantee the light transmission of hard layer 12.
In addition, the thickness of hard layer 12 more preferably below the 50nm, is preferably below the 20nm especially.The thickness of hard layer 12 is 50nm when following, states such relief pattern after making easily and forms sheet.
In addition, be purpose to improve adaptation, to form finer structure, can between base material 11 and hard layer 12, form prime coat.
Further, also can on hard layer 12, resin bed be set.
The mode spacing A that relief pattern forms the relief pattern 12a of sheet 10 is below the 1 μ m, is preferably below the 0.4 μ m.In addition, consider that from the viewpoint that can easily form relief pattern 12a mode spacing A is preferably more than the 0.05 μ m.
Each spacing A of relief pattern 12a 1, A 2, A 3... all be preferably mode spacing A ± 60% scope, in the scope more preferably ± 30%.Each spacing be mode spacing A's ± 60% scope in the time, spacing becomes evenly, can bring into play the more performance of excellence as optical element.
In addition, be under the condition below the 1 μ m satisfying mode spacing A, each spacing A 1, A 2, A 3... can change continuously.
Each depth B of relief pattern 12a 1, B 2, B 3... all be preferably mean depth B ± 60% scope in, in the scope more preferably ± 30%.Each spacing be mean depth B's ± 60% scope in the time, the degree of depth becomes evenly, can bring into play the more performance of excellence as optical element.
In addition, be that 100% o'clock mean depth B is under the condition more than 10% with mode spacing A, each depth B 1, B 2, B 3... can change continuously.
Of the back, relief pattern forms sheet 10 except going for optical element, optical element manufacturings such as antireflection object, polarizer with the operation sheet, can also be as utilizations such as super-hydrophobic or ultra hydrophilic sheet.
In addition, relief pattern forms the qualification that sheet does not receive above-mentioned embodiment.For example; In the above-mentioned embodiment; Hard layer has periodic wavy relief pattern along the Width that this relief pattern forms sheet, but except this relief pattern, also can have the periodic wavy relief pattern that forms the length direction of sheet along relief pattern.Further, in most cases, hard layer also can have not the wavy relief pattern along specific direction.Under these situations, because the mode spacing of relief pattern is below the 1 μ m, the former mode spacing of stating is 100% o'clock, and the mean depth of relief pattern bottom is more than 10%, shows excellent performance as optical element.
Consider that from the viewpoint of refractive index the top of protuberance is preferably sharp, but the top also can have slyness.
Relief pattern is tried to achieve the mode spacing through following method for not along specific direction the time.At first, through the top photograph of atomic force microscope, be gray scale file (for example, tiff form etc.) with this image transformation to relief pattern.
In the image (with reference to Figure 24) of gray scale file, whiteness is low more, the bottom of expression recess darker (whiteness is high more, and the top of expression protuberance is high more).Then, the image to the gray scale file carries out Fourier transform.Figure 25 shows the image behind the Fourier transform.In the image behind Fourier transform, the directivity of the direction indication gray scale of observing from the center of white portion, in addition, the inverse of the distance from the center to the white portion is represented the cycle of gray level image.Relief pattern becomes the image of white annulus shown in figure 25 during not along specific direction.Then, the boost line L that on the image behind the Fourier transform, draws linearity laterally from circle ring center 2, with brightness (Y axle) with respect to excentric distance (X axle) mapping (with reference to Figure 26).Then, read the value r that shows peaked X axle among this figure.The inverse of this r (1/r) is the mode spacing.
(relief pattern forms sheet-3)
The relief pattern that is easy to get calmly forms the viewpoint of sheet 10 to be considered, when hard layer 12 is made up of metal or metallic compound, and preferable alloy.
Do not become too high from Young modulus; The viewpoint that forms relief pattern 12a is more easily considered; As metal, be preferably at least a kind of metal that is selected from the group of forming by gold, aluminium, silver, carbon, copper, germanium, indium, magnesium, niobium, palladium, lead, platinum, silicon, tin, titanium, vanadium, zinc, bismuth.Here said metal also comprises semimetal.

In addition, when hard layer 12 was made up of metal, laminar surface can oxidation by air form the air oxidation film, but in the present invention, the layer after such layer on surface of metal oxidation by air is also regarded the layer that is made up of metal as.
The thickness of hard layer 12 be preferably surpass 0.01 μ m and below 0.2 μ m, 0.02~0.1 μ m more preferably.The thickness of hard layer is for above 0.01 μ m and when 0.2 μ m is following, and is of the back, makes relief pattern easily and form sheet.
In addition, be purpose to improve adaptation, to form finer structure, can between base material 11 and hard layer 12, form prime coat.
The mode spacing A that relief pattern forms the relief pattern 12a of sheet 10 is above 1 μ m and below 20 μ m, is preferably above 1 μ m and below 10 μ m.When mode spacing A is lower than 1 μ m, and when surpassing 20 μ m, though with relief pattern form sheet 10 as the diffuser manufacturing with the use of operation sheet master, also be difficult to obtain the high diffuser of diffuse.

More than the relief pattern of explanation forms the manufacturing approach of sheet; Because the glass transition temperature of the 2nd resin of formation surface smoothing hard layer 13 is higher more than 10 ℃ than the 1st resin that constitutes heat shrink property film 11a; Under the temperature between the glass transition temperature of the glass transition temperature of the 1st resin and the 2nd resin, it is higher than heat shrink property film 11a that the Young modulus of surface smoothing hard layer 13 becomes.And; Because the thickness of surface smoothing hard layer 13 is above 0.05 μ m and below 5.0 μ m; Under the temperature between the glass transition temperature of the glass transition temperature of the 1st resin and the 2nd resin, add man-hour, along with the increase of thickness, surface smoothing hard layer 13 also takes place folding.Further, owing to surface smoothing hard layer 13 is laminated on the heat shrink property film 11a, so the stress that the contraction of heat shrink property film 11a produces is distributed in whole equably.Therefore,, surface smoothing hard layer 13 folded deformations can be made, relief pattern formation sheet 10 can be made easy and in large area as the excellent performance of diffuser through the present invention.
And, through this manufacturing approach, can easily make the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a surpass 1 μ m and below 20 μ m, make with mode spacing A to be at 100% o'clock, the mean depth B of the bottom 12b of relief pattern 12a is more than 10%.
In addition, as the manufacturing approach of relief pattern formation sheet, the method for following (1)~(4) also can be suitable for.
(1) whole at base material 11 is provided with surface smoothing hard layer 13, cambium layer compressing tablet 10a, the method that a laminate 10a integral body direction is surfacewise compressed.
When the glass transition temperature of base material 11 is lower than room temperature; The compression of laminate 10a is at room temperature carried out; The glass transition temperature of base material 11 is room temperature when above, and being compressed in the glass transition temperature that is higher than base material 11 and being lower than under the temperature of glass transition temperature of surface smoothing hard layer 13 of laminate 10a carried out.
(2) whole at base material 11 is provided with surface smoothing hard layer 13; Cambium layer compressing tablet 10a; Along a direction tensile layer compressing tablet 10a, its vertical direction along draw direction is shunk, thus the method that makes surface smoothing hard layer 13 a direction compression surfacewise.
When the glass transition temperature of base material 11 is lower than room temperature; The stretching of laminate 10a is at room temperature carried out; The glass transition temperature of base material 11 is room temperature when above, and being stretching in the glass transition temperature that is higher than base material 11 and being lower than under the temperature of glass transition temperature of surface smoothing hard layer 13 of laminate 10a carried out.
(3) at the base material that forms by uncured ionization radial line curable resin 11 laminated surface smoothing hard layers 13; Cambium layer compressing tablet 10a; Come curing substrate 11 through the irradiation ionization radial line; Base material 11 is shunk, thereby make the method for surface smoothing hard layer 13 at least one direction compression surfacewise of base material 11 laminated.
(4) through solvent swell and on the dilated base material 11; The level and smooth hard layer 13 of laminating surface; Cambium layer compressing tablet 10a, the solvent of removing in the base material 11 through drying shrinks laminate 10a, thereby makes surface smoothing hard layer 13 at least one the direction compression surfacewise that is laminated on the base material 11.
In method (1), as the method for cambium layer compressing tablet 10a, for example can enumerate, be coated with the solution or the dispersion liquid of coating resin on a face of base material 11 such as machine through spin coater, rod, make the method for solvent seasoning again; Method of the surface smoothing hard layer of making in advance in a face laminated of base material 11 13 etc.
As the method that makes direction compression surfacewise of laminate 10a integral body, for example can enumerate, with end of holding sheet compressing tablet 10a such as vice and with the end of its opposition side, make the method for its compression etc.

In method (4), solvent is according to suitable selection of kind of the 1st resin.Select the The suitable solvent baking temperature according to solvent types.
Surface smoothing hard layer 13 in method (2)~(4) can use and the middle identical composition of material that uses of method (1), can be identical thickness.In addition, the formation method of laminate 10a can be the same with method (1), is useful in the face coating resin solution or the dispersion liquid of base material 11, makes the method for solvent seasoning again; The method of the surface smoothing hard layer of making in advance in a face laminated of base material 11 13.
The 2nd operation-2
The mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a is 1 μ m when following, and for method (1), the thickness of surface smoothing hard layer 13 is preferably below the 50nm, more preferably below the 20nm.The thickness of surface smoothing hard layer 13 is 50mm when following, and the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a can be below the 1 μ m really.
In addition, the viewpoint consideration that the hard layer 12 after compression is difficult for producing defective, surface smoothing hard layer 13 is preferably more than the 1nm.
At this moment, surface smoothing hard layer 13 is made up of than high the 2nd resin more than 10 ℃ of the 1st resin glass transition temperature.Through surface smoothing hard layer 13 is made up of than high the 2nd resin more than 10 ℃ of the 1st resin glass transition temperature; When compression, make base material 11 distortion; And make surface smoothing hard layer 13 form the distortion of crawling of wavy bending, can easily form relief pattern 12a.
Relief pattern in above explanation forms in the manufacturing approach of sheet; Because the glass transition temperature of the 2nd resin of formation surface smoothing hard layer 13 is higher more than 10 ℃ than the 1st resin that constitutes base material 11; Under the temperature between the glass transition temperature of the glass transition temperature of the 1st resin and the 2nd resin, the Young modulus of surface smoothing hard layer 13 becomes than base material 11 height.Therefore, under the temperature between the glass transition temperature of the glass transition temperature of the 1st resin and the 2nd resin, add man-hour, along with the increase of thickness, surface smoothing hard layer 13 also takes place folding.Further, because surface smoothing hard layer 13 is laminated on the base material 11, be distributed in integral body equably owing to compress, shrink the stress that produces.Therefore,, can easily make its distortion of crawling, make relief pattern and form sheet 10, can make relief pattern formation sheet 10 easy and in large area as the excellent performance of optical element through the present invention.
And,, can easily make the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a shorten, and make mean depth B deepen through this manufacturing approach.Particularly, can make easily that the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a is below the 1 μ m, be 100% o'clock with mode spacing A, and the mean depth B of the bottom 12b of relief pattern 12a is more than 10%.
Further, through this manufacturing approach, can easily make each spacing A among the relief pattern 12a 1, A 2, A 3... with each depth B 1, B 2, B 3... evenly.
The 2nd operation-3
As making the surface smoothing hard layer; When using metal or metallic compound to make, in the 2nd operation, through making heat shrink property film 11a thermal shrinkage; On the direction vertical of surface smoothing hard layer 13, form wavy relief pattern 12a, obtain hard layer 12 with shrinkage direction.
Heating means when making heat shrink property film 11a heat shrink can be enumerated hot blast, steam or the method in hot water, passed through etc., wherein, consider the method for preferably in hot water, passing through from making its viewpoint of evenly shrinking.
Heating-up temperature when making heat shrink property film 11a thermal shrinkage is preferably according to kind and the spacing of target relief pattern 12a and the appropriate depth selection of bottom 12b of the heat shrink property film that uses.
In this manufacturing approach, the thickness of surface smoothing hard layer 13 is thin more, and the Young modulus of surface smoothing hard layer 13 is low more, and then the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a becomes more little, and the deformation rate of base material is high more, and then mean depth B becomes dark more.Therefore, in order to make mode spacing A, the mean depth B of relief pattern 12a, need the suitable aforementioned condition of selecting for regulation.
Relief pattern in above explanation forms in the manufacturing approach of sheet; Because the Young modulus of the surface smoothing hard layer 13 that is made up of metal or metallic compound is much larger than heat shrink property film 11a; Hot compression is during than the hard surface smoothing hard layer 13 of heat shrink property film 11a; It also takes place folding when thickness increases.Further, because surface smoothing hard layer 13 is laminated on the heat shrink property film 11a, heat shrink property film 11a shrinks the stress that produces and is distributed in integral body equably.Therefore,, can make surface smoothing hard layer 13 folded deformations through the present invention, can be easy and the relief pattern of making the excellent performance of the engineering sheet that is used to make diffuser in large area form sheet 10.
And, through this manufacturing approach, can easily make the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a surpass 1 μ m and below 20 μ m, make to be at 100% o'clock with mode spacing A, the mean depth B of the bottom 12b of relief pattern 12a is more than 10%.
In addition, all the time, form the method with sheet as making relief pattern, known have nano impression with the relief pattern of mould by after being pressed on the thermoplastic sheet thermoplastic resin, makes the hot nano impression method of its cooling; After being covered with uncured ionization radial line curable resin constituent on the relief pattern of nano impression with mould, the irradiation ionization radial line makes the light nano impression method of its curing.
Hot nano impression method need apply uniform pressure to mold integral, on thermoplastic resin, pushes the mould with relief pattern, in such method; When the area of mould becomes big; The mould applied pressure is become inhomogeneous, and the result can cause the transfer printing of relief pattern to become inhomogeneous.Therefore, be inappropriate for the production that employed large-area relief pattern in the display screen etc. of LCD TV forms sheet.
In addition, in light nano impression method,, cause the transfer printing of relief pattern to become incomplete because the release property of mould and cured resin is not enough.And the reusable number of times of mould is many more, and this tendency is obvious more.
With respect to these nano impression methods, above-mentioned relief pattern forms the manufacturing approach of sheet because therefore the transfer printing that can omit relief pattern can solve the problems referred to above that the nano impression method exists.
In addition; Though above-mentioned embodiment is whole at base material hard layer is set; But also can hard layer be set, can hard layer all be set, can also hard layer be set in the part on the two sides of base material at the whole face on the two sides of base material in the part of a face of base material.

5. optical sheet
5-1. the 1st embodiment
The 1st embodiment to optical sheet of the present invention describes.
Figure 13 shows the optical sheet of this embodiment.In addition, in order to be easy to explanation, the relief region 212 of Figure 13 is amplified, and expression sparsely should configuration.
The light diffusing patch that the end α that the optical sheet 210a of this embodiment is used as at length direction disposes light source 330 uses; On smooth one side 11; It is the pattern of the relief region 212 of elliptical shape that the point-like decentralized configuration has profile, and its length direction along optical sheet 210a becomes close gradually from an end α to other end β.In addition, in the present invention, the center line average roughness of the smooth JIS of being meant BO601 record is below the 0.1 μ m.In addition, relief region is meant that the center line average roughness of JIS BO601 record is above 0.1 μ m, particularly surpasses more than the 0.5 μ m.
Relief region
Relief region 12 is the zones with relief pattern.In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, be formed with the wavy relief pattern 12a that crawls on the surface of relief region 12.
For the optical sheet 210a of this embodiment that is used for light diffusing patch, the mode spacing A of its relief pattern 12a is preferably above 1 μ m and below 20 μ m, more preferably above 1 μ m and below 10 μ m.When mode spacing A was lower than 1 μ m, below wavelength of visible light, refraction did not take place and sees through light at relief pattern 12a in visible light, and when surpassing aforementioned higher limit, the anisotropy step-down of diffusion is easy to generate the unbalanced tendency of brightness.
With respect to the ratio of the mean depth B of the relief pattern of the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a (B/A, below, be called length breadth ratio.) be preferably 0.1~3.0.Length breadth ratio is lower than at 0.1 o'clock, can not obtain the objective optics characteristic.On the contrary, length breadth ratio in the manufacturing of optical sheet 210a, had the tendency that is difficult to form relief pattern 12a greater than 3.0 o'clock.
Here, mean depth B is meant, the mean depth of the bottom 12b of relief pattern 12a.
In addition, bottom 12b is the minimum point of the recess of relief pattern 12a, and mean depth B is following value: when observing the cross section (with reference to Fig. 2) after short-axis direction cuts off relief region 12, from the parallel datum line L of whole direction of optical sheet 10a 1Length B to each protuberance top 1, B 2, B 3... mean value (B AV), and from datum line L 1Arrive the length b of the bottom of each recess 1, b 2, b 3... mean value (b AV) poor (b AV-B AV).
As the method for measuring mean depth B, adopt through the take a picture image in cross section of the relief pattern 12a that obtains of atomic force microscope and measure the degree of depth of each bottom 12b, try to achieve the method etc. of their mean value.
As this embodiment, relief pattern 12a is meant along crawling of a direction, and the degree of orientation of the relief pattern of trying to achieve through following method is more than 0.3.This degree of orientation is the index of dispersion of the orientation of relief pattern, and this value is big more, and the expression orientation is overstepping the bounds of propriety looses.
The above-mentioned degree of orientation is lower than at 0.3 o'clock, because the dispersion of the orientation of relief pattern 12a diminishes, so diffusion of light property diminishes.
In addition, the degree of orientation is preferably below 1.0.The degree of orientation surpasses at 1.0 o'clock, because the direction of relief pattern 12a becomes unordered to a certain extent, though diffuse uprises, anisotropy has the tendency of step-down.
In order to make the degree of orientation is more than 0.3, for example, after in the manufacturing stated, can suit to select heat shrink property film and relief region to form and use protuberance.
In addition, can use also that on a surface, to be formed with the degree of orientation be the be shaped method of transparent resin of the mould of the relief pattern more than 0.3.
With respect to the area of the face of optical sheet 210a, though the ratio of the area of relief region 212 is according to the target light diffusive and difference is preferably 30~100%.The area ratio of relief region 212 is 30% when above, can bring into play sufficient diffuse.
The constituent material of optical sheet
Optical sheet 210a is made up of the transparent resin to visible light transmittance high (specifically, the full light transmittance of visible light is more than 85%).
In addition, with improve thermotolerance, photostability is a purpose, in can not be to the hurtful scope of optical characteristics such as light transmission, can in optical sheet 10a, contain adjuvant.Can enumerate light stabilizer, ultraviolet light absorber, anti-oxidant, lubricant, light diffusing agent etc. as adjuvant.Wherein, preferably add light stabilizer, with respect to 100 mass parts transparent resins, its addition is preferably 0.03~2.0 mass parts.The addition of light stabilizer is 0.03 mass parts when above, can give full play to its additive effect, but when surpassing 2.0 mass parts, becomes excessive, causes unnecessary cost to increase.
In addition; With further raising light diffusion effect is purpose; In can not be to the hurtful scope of optical characteristics such as light transmission, organic light diffusing agent that can in optical sheet 210a, contain the inorganic light diffuser that constitutes by mineral compound, constitute by organic compound.
As inorganic light diffuser, can enumerate silicon dioxide, white carbon, talcum, magnesium oxide, zinc paste, titanium dioxide, lime carbonate, hydrate of aluminium, barium sulphate, calcium silicate, magnesium silicate, alumina silicate, lagoriolite, zinc silicate, glass, mica etc.
As organic light diffusing agent, can enumerate polystyrene aggregated particles, acrylic acid series aggregated particles, siloxane-based aggregated particles, polyamide-based aggregated particles etc.These light diffusing agents can be distinguished independent use or make up more than 2 kinds and use.
In addition, in order to obtain excellent light diffusion characteristic, these light diffusing agents can be porous structures such as petal-shaped or spherocrystal shape.
The viewpoint that never is prone to the infringement light transmission considers that with respect to 100 mass parts transparent resins, the content of light diffusing agent is preferably below 10 mass parts.
Further, be purpose with further raising light diffusion effect, can not have in the scope of big infringement optical characteristics such as light transmissions, can in optical sheet 210a, contain micro air bubble.Because micro air bubble is few to the absorption of light, be difficult to cause therefore that light transmission reduces.
Formation method as micro air bubble; Can be useful in sneak into gas-development agent among the optical sheet 210a method (for example; Japanese kokai publication hei 5-212811 communique; The disclosed method of japanese kokai publication hei 6-107842 communique), the acrylic acid series Foamex bubble of setting out is handled, make its method that contains micro air bubble (for example, the disclosed method of TOHKEMY 2004-2812 communique) etc.Further, consider the method (for example, the disclosed method of TOHKEMY 2006-124499 communique) that micro air bubble is foamed in certain location unevenly from carrying out face irradiation more uniformly.
In addition, can aforementioned lights diffusion agent and fine foaming combination be used.
The thickness of optical sheet
The thickness of optical sheet 10a be preferably 0.02~3.0mm, more preferably 0.05~2.5mm, be preferably 0.1~2.0mm especially.When the thickness of optical sheet 10a is lower than 0.02mm, because its degree of depth than relief pattern 12a is also little, thus improper, when thicker,, the tendency that is difficult for handling is arranged because the quality of optical sheet 10a becomes big than 3.0mm.
Optical sheet 210a also can be made up of the resin bed more than 2 layers.When optical sheet 10a was made up of the layer more than 2 layers, the thickness of optical sheet 210a also was preferably 0.02~3.0mm.
Method of application
Above-mentioned optical sheet 210a can be used as light diffusing patch and uses.Specifically, make an end α and light source 330 adjacent uses of optical sheet 210a.Through at the end α of optical sheet 210a configuration light source 330, light is propagated in optical sheet 210a.In addition, can make the light in optical sheet 210a, propagated in relief region 212 by diffusion, then from being formed with the face outgoing of relief region 212 1 sides.Further, because relief region 212 is to become close pattern successively from an end α to other end β to be configured, can make at the exit dose of the light of other end β outgoing more.Usually, far away more from light source 330, a little less than the light intensity of in optical sheet 210a, propagating becomes more, but because more near other end β, it is many more that the exit dose of light becomes, and can make from the light intensity of optical sheet 210a outgoing even.
When using optical sheet 120a,, preferably reflecting plate is set at the face that does not have relief region 212 in order to improve the light utilization ratio of light source 330.
More than the optical sheet 210a of the 1st embodiment of explanation brings into play diffuse through the relief pattern 12a that the surface in relief region 212 forms.In addition, configuration relief region 212 make to become close along the pattern of other end β one side of the length direction of optical sheet 210a, thereby the diffuse of other end β one side that makes at length direction uprises.Like this, can adjust the diffuse of optical sheet 210a through the interval between the adjustment relief region 212, the diffuse that obtains expecting in the position of expectation easily.
Manufacturing approach
Example to the method for making optical sheet 210a describes.
(the 1st manufacturing approach)
The 1st manufacturing approach is to use the method for heat shrink property thin film fabrication optical sheet 210a.
Promptly; The 1st manufacturing approach is to make the method that the relief pattern that constitutes optical sheet 210a forms sheet; It possesses following operation: on a face of heat shrink property film, thereby the level and smooth resin system relief region of print surface form operation with protuberance formation printed sheet (below, be called the 1st operation.); Thereby make heat shrink property film heat shrink make the relief region at least of printed sheet form operation with the protuberance folded deformation (below, be called the 2nd operation.)。
The 1st operation
Like Figure 14 and shown in Figure 15, in the 1st operation, form method with protuberance 14 as printing relief region on a face of heat shrink property film 13, can be suitable for for example serigraphy, intaglio printing, offset lithography, ink jet printing etc.
As heat shrink property film 13, for example can using, polyethylene terephthalate is shrinkable film, polystyrene shrinkable film, polyolefin shrinkable film, polyvinyl chloride shrinkable film etc.
In heat shrink property film 213, preferably shrink 50~70% film.When use shrinking 50~70% shrinkable film, deformation rate can be for more than 50%, the mode spacing A that can easily make relief pattern 12a for surpass 1 μ m and below 20 μ m and length breadth ratio be the relief pattern formation sheet 0.1 or more.
Here, deformation rate is meant, (length before the distortion-distortion back length)/(length before the distortion) * 100 (%).Perhaps refer to (distortion back length)/(length before the distortion) * 100 (%).
From being easy to form the wavy relief pattern 12a consideration of crawling, relief region forms with protuberance 214 and is made up of than the high resin (the 2nd resin) more than 10 ℃ of the resin that constitutes heat shrink property film 213 (the 1st resin) glass transition temperature.
As the 2nd resin, can use for example polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polystyrene, acrylic resin, styrene-propene acid copolymer, styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, PEN, polycarbonate, polyethersulfone, fluororesin etc.
Consider that from the relief pattern 12a of easy formation expectation form the surface with protuberance 214 in relief region, the center line average roughness described in the JIS BO601 is below the 0.1 μ m.
In addition, the thickness that relief region forms with protuberance 214 is preferably 0.05~5.0 μ m, more preferably 0.1~1.0 μ m.Relief region forms the thickness during as aforementioned range uses protuberance 214, the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a can be really for above 1 μ m and below 20 μ m.And when relief region formed thickness with protuberance 214 and is lower than 0.05 μ m, mode spacing A was below the 1 μ m, and when surpassing 5.0 μ m, mode spacing A is above 20 μ m.
Further, relief region forms uses the thickness of protuberance 214 also can not be certain value, for example, can along a continuous thickening of direction, also can attenuation.
In addition, consider that from forming the wavy relief pattern 12a that crawls more easily the Young modulus that relief region forms with protuberance 214 is preferably 0.01~300GPa, more preferably 0.1~10GPa.

In this manufacturing approach; Relief region forms thin more with the thickness of protuberance 214, and relief region forms low more with the Young modulus of protuberance 214, and then the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a becomes more little; The deformation rate of heat shrink property film is high more, and then mean depth B becomes dark more.
In above-mentioned the 1st manufacturing approach, under the temperature between the glass transition temperature of the glass transition temperature of the 1st resin and the 2nd resin, the Young modulus that relief region forms with protuberance 214 becomes than heat shrink property film 213 height.Therefore, under the temperature between the glass transition temperature of the glass transition temperature of the 1st resin and the 2nd resin, add man-hour, relief region forms with protuberance 214 and folds more than thickness increase.Further,, relief region is laminated on the heat shrink property film 213 with protuberance 214 because forming, therefore, because the stress that the contraction of heat shrink property film 213 produces is distributed in integral body equably.Therefore, shrink, make relief region form, can form relief region 212 with protuberance 214 folded deformations through making heat shrink property film 213.Therefore, through above-mentioned manufacturing approach, can obtain constituting the relief pattern formation sheet of optical sheet 210a.
The above-mentioned relief pattern that obtains like this forms sheet and can directly use as optical sheet 210a.At this moment, formation has formed optical sheet 210a with protuberance 214 with relief region through heat shrink property film 213.

6. diffusion light conductor
Embodiment to diffusion light conductor of the present invention describes.
Fig. 1 shows the diffusion light conductor of this embodiment.The diffusion light conductor 10 of this embodiment is to be made up of the transparent resin layer 11 that is formed with the wavy relief pattern 12a that crawls in one side.Other face (the inside) of the transparent resin layer 11 of this embodiment is not for forming the level and smooth face of relief pattern.
The mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a is for surpassing 1 μ m and below 20 μ m, being preferably above 1 μ m and below 10 μ m.When mode spacing A was lower than 1 μ m, below wavelength of visible light, refraction did not take place and sees through light in visible light at concavo-convex place, and when surpassing 20 μ m, the anisotropy step-down of diffusion is easy to generate brightness irregularities.
With respect to the ratio of the concavo-convex mean depth B of the mode spacing A of relief pattern 12a (B/A, below, be called length breadth ratio.) be 0.1~3.0.Length breadth ratio is lower than at 0.1 o'clock, and the anisotropy step-down of diffusion is easy to generate brightness irregularities.On the contrary, length breadth ratio in the manufacturing of diffusion light conductor 10, was difficult to form relief pattern 12a greater than 3.0 o'clock.
Here, mean depth B is the mean depth of the bottom 12b of relief pattern 12a.In addition, bottom 12b is the minimum value of the recess of relief pattern 12a, and mean depth B is meant, when observing the cross section (with reference to Fig. 2) after along its length diffusion light conductor 10 being cut off, from the datum line L parallel with 10 whole directions of diffusion light conductor 1Length B to each protuberance top 1, B 2, B 3... mean value (B AV), and from datum line L 1Arrive the length b of the bottom of each recess 1, b 2, b 3... mean value (b AV) poor (b AV-B AV).
As the method for measuring mean depth B, adopt through the take a picture image in cross section of the relief pattern 12a that obtains of atomic force microscope and measure the degree of depth of each bottom 12b, try to achieve the method etc. of their mean value.
Of the present invention crawling be meant, the degree of orientation of the relief pattern of trying to achieve through following method is more than 0.3.This degree of orientation is the index of dispersion of the orientation of relief pattern, and this value is big more, and the expression orientation is overstepping the bounds of propriety looses.
In order to try to achieve the degree of orientation, at first,, be gray scale file (for example, tiff form etc.) with this image transformation through of the top photograph of surface optics microscope to relief pattern.In the image (with reference to Fig. 3) of gray scale file, whiteness is low more, the bottom of expression recess darker (whiteness is high more, and the top of expression protuberance is high more).Then, the image to the gray scale file carries out Fourier transform.Fig. 4 shows the image behind the Fourier transform.The white portion that expands to both sides from the center of the image of Fig. 4 comprised relief pattern 12a spacing and towards information.
Then, draw boost line L2 from the center along continuous straight runs of the image of Fig. 4, to the mapping of the brightness on this boost line (with reference to Fig. 5).The transverse axis of scheming among Fig. 5 is the inverse of expression spacing, and the longitudinal axis is represented frequency, and the 1/X reciprocal of the value X when frequency is maximum representes the mode spacing of relief pattern 12a.
Then, in Fig. 4, draw and boost line L 2Boost line L perpendicular to value X part 3, to this boost line L 3On brightness mapping (with reference to Fig. 6).But, for can more various concaveconvex structures, the numerical value after the transverse axis of Fig. 6 is removed by the value of X.The transverse axis of Fig. 6 is the index (orientation) that shows with respect to the inclined degree of concavo-convex formation direction (above-below direction among Fig. 3), and the longitudinal axis is represented frequency.In the mapping of Fig. 6, the half breadth W of peak value 1The degree of orientation of (frequency is the peak width on the height of a peaked half) expression relief pattern.Half value broadband W 1Big more, the spacing that expression is crawled is overstepping the bounds of propriety looses.
Because the above-mentioned degree of orientation is lower than at 0.3 o'clock, the dispersion of the orientation of relief pattern 12a diminishes, so diffusion of light property diminishes.
In addition, the degree of orientation is preferably below 1.0.The degree of orientation surpasses at 1.0 o'clock, because the direction of relief pattern 12a becomes unordered to a certain extent, though diffuse uprises, anisotropy has the tendency of step-down.
In order to make the degree of orientation is more than 0.3, for example after state in the manufacturing, suitable heat shrink property film and the surface smoothing hard layer selected gets final product.For example, the shrinkage factor of heat shrink property film is high more, and perhaps the Young modulus of surface smoothing hard layer is more little, and it is big more that orientation becomes.The diffusion light conductor 10 that obtains through this manufacturing approach is made up of 2 layers of resin bed.
In addition, can use also that be formed with the degree of orientation on a surface be the be shaped method of transparent resin of the mould of the relief pattern more than 0.3.The diffusion light conductor 10 that obtains through this manufacturing approach is made up of 1 layer of resin bed.
In addition, it is equal that above-mentioned that kind is utilized the mode spacing and the average headway of the relief pattern that Fourier transform tries to achieve.
Transparent resin layer 11 is made up of the transparent resin to visible light transmittance high (specifically, the full light transmittance of visible light is more than 85%).
In addition, with improve thermotolerance, photostability is a purpose, can in can not be to the hurtful scope of optical characteristics such as light transmission, in transparent resin layer 11, contain adjuvant.Can enumerate light stabilizer, ultraviolet light absorber, anti-oxidant, lubricant, light diffusing agent etc. as adjuvant.Wherein, preferably add light stabilizer, with respect to 100 mass parts transparent resins, its addition is preferably 0.03~2.0 mass parts.The addition of light stabilizer is 0.03 mass parts when above, can give full play to its additive effect, but when surpassing 2.0 mass parts, becomes excessive, causes unnecessary cost to increase.
In addition; With further raising light diffusion effect is purpose; Can not cause in the scope of big infringement the organic light diffusing agent that in transparent resin layer 11, contains the inorganic light diffuser that constitutes by mineral compound, constitutes by organic compound to optical characteristics such as light transmissions.
As inorganic light diffuser, can enumerate silicon, white carbon, talcum, magnesium oxide, zinc paste, titanium dioxide, lime carbonate, hydrate of aluminium, barium sulphate, calcium silicate, magnesium silicate, alumina silicate, lagoriolite, zinc silicate, glass, mica etc.
As organic light diffusing agent, can enumerate polystyrene aggregated particles, acrylic acid series aggregated particles, siloxane-based aggregated particles, polyamide-based aggregated particles etc.These light diffusing agents can be distinguished independent use, perhaps make up more than 2 kinds and use.
In addition, in order to obtain excellent light diffusion characteristic, these light diffusing agents can be the porous structure of petal-shaped or spherocrystal shape etc.
Never be prone to the infringement light transmission and consider that with respect to 100 mass parts transparent resins, the content of light diffusing agent is preferably below 10 mass parts.
Further, be purpose with further raising light diffusion effect, can in transparent resin layer 11, contain micro air bubble not causing in the scope of big infringement to optical characteristics such as light transmissions.Micro air bubble is few to the absorption of light, is difficult to cause therefore that light transmission reduces.
As the formation method of micro air bubble, can be useful in the method (for example, japanese kokai publication hei 5-212811 communique, the disclosed method of japanese kokai publication hei 6-107842 communique) of sneaking into gas-development agent in the transparent resin layer 11; The acrylic acid series Foamex bubble of setting out is handled, made its method that contains micro air bubble (for example, the disclosed method of TOHKEMY 2004-2812 communique) etc.Further, consider the method (for example, the disclosed method of TOHKEMY 2006-124499 communique) that micro air bubble is foamed in certain location unevenly from the viewpoint that can carry out face irradiation more uniformly.

Function
Above-mentioned diffusion light conductor 10 has the anisotropic diffusion property of light.Particularly, when light source was set, the light that sends from light source incided diffusion light conductor 10 by the inside at the face that does not form relief pattern 12a one side (the inside) of diffusion light conductor 10, in the diffusion light conductor 10 through arriving male and fomale(M&F) then.Here, the light that the incident angle of the angle at and subcritical angle above with 0 degree arrives reflects, and shines the outside surface of diffusion light conductor 10.Because from the diffusion light conductor 10 interior directions of light of passing through not is a direction, the male and fomale(M&F) of diffusion light conductor 10 and the angle of light are not definite value, and light reflects at wide angular range.And because concavo-convex for disperseing orientation, the anisotropy of diffusion uprises with crawling.
In addition, with respect to male and fomale(M&F), after the light generation total reflection that arrives with the angle more than the critical angle again through in the diffusion light conductor, afterwards, outgoing during with the angle arrival male and fomale(M&F) at subcritical angle.In addition, the light that arrives with the incident angle of the angle of 0 degree does not reflect, and directly shines the outside surface of diffusion light conductor.
In addition, when a side of diffusion light conductor 10 is provided with light source, also with above-mentioned the same, in diffusion light conductor 10, pass through, refraction takes place and shines the outside surface of diffusion light conductor in the light that the incident angle of the angle at and subcritical angle above with 0 degree arrives.Here, concavo-convex is that dispersion is orientated with crawling, thereby the anisotropy of diffusion uprises.
In addition, diffusion light conductor of the present invention does not receive the restriction of above-mentioned embodiment.For example, when side disposes light source in the inside of transparent resin layer,, preferably have the fine wavy concavo-convex of anti-reflective function in the formation of the inside of transparent resin layer in order to improve the incident efficient of light.Here, fine wavy concavo-convex mode spacing is preferably below the 1 μ m, and length breadth ratio is preferably more than 0.1.This is because when the mode spacing surpassed 1 μ m, perhaps length breadth ratio surpassed at 0.1 o'clock, can not obtain anti-reflective function.
Aforementioned fine wavy concavo-convex, also can be with forming the inside that relief pattern that light diffusion uses be formed at transparent resin layer.For example; Through press forming, when injection moulding is made the diffusion light conductor; As mould; Can use at the face that joins with exit facet (surface) side of transparent resin layer to be formed with the relief pattern that light diffusion is used, and be formed with the method for the mould of fine wavy relief pattern at the face that joins with the plane of incidence (the inside) side of transparent resin layer.
In addition, aforementioned fine wavy concavo-convex, also can be formed in the inside of transparent resin layer with the relief pattern different terrain that light diffusion is used.For example, can be attached to the inside side of transparent resin layer through the film that bonding agent will be formed with fine wavy relief pattern.
In addition, in order further to improve light diffusing anisotropy, can contain the film of micro air bubble in plane of incidence side or exit facet side apposition.Shown in figure 20, when plane of incidence side apposition contains the film 317 of micro air bubble, in order effectively to utilize the light that sends from light source 330; Preferably at the part 317a of the strong irradiation of light intensity of light source 330, the content of micro air bubble is many, at other part 317b; The content of micro air bubble is few, perhaps, does not contain.
Diffusion light conductor of the present invention also can be the thickness wedge shape of attenuation gradually that passes through, and light source is disposed at a thick side of the diffusion light conductor of wedge shape.
Diffusion light conductor of the present invention must be formed with the wavy relief pattern that crawls on a face, but is not limited to only be formed with relief pattern at a face.That is, on the another side of transparent resin layer, also can be formed with the wavy relief pattern that crawls.
