Description

本発明は、片面に複数の平行な断面略三角形のプリズム部を有する光学機能シート（いわゆるプリズムシート）に関し、さらに詳述すると、液晶表示装置のバックライト光の輝度向上部材として好適に使用することができる光学機能シートに関する。   The present invention relates to an optical functional sheet (so-called prism sheet) having a plurality of parallel triangular prism sections on one side. More specifically, the present invention is suitably used as a backlight improving luminance member of a liquid crystal display device. It is related with the optical function sheet which can do.

ディスプレイの一つとして液晶表示装置がある。液晶表示装置では、液晶自体は発光しないため、バックライトユニットを用いて輝度を得ており、バックライトユニットを改良して、その明るさを向上させる試みがなされてきている。   There is a liquid crystal display device as one of the displays. In the liquid crystal display device, since the liquid crystal itself does not emit light, luminance is obtained using a backlight unit, and attempts have been made to improve the brightness by improving the backlight unit.

図８は液晶表示装置の一例を示す断面図である。図中１はバックライトユニット、２はバックライトユニットの上方に配置された液晶セルを示す。バックライトユニット１は、光源（冷陰極管：ＣＦＬ）３、反射シート４、導光板５、拡散シート６、２枚のプリズムシート７、８によって構成されている。液晶セル２は、偏光フィルタ９、ガラス１０、透明電極１１、ＴＦＴ１２、配向膜１３、液晶１４、配向膜１５、透明電極１６、カラーフィルタ１７、ガラス１８、偏光フィルタ１９によって構成されている。   FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a liquid crystal display device. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a backlight unit, and 2 denotes a liquid crystal cell arranged above the backlight unit. The backlight unit 1 includes a light source (cold cathode tube: CFL) 3, a reflection sheet 4, a light guide plate 5, a diffusion sheet 6, and two prism sheets 7 and 8. The liquid crystal cell 2 includes a polarizing filter 9, a glass 10, a transparent electrode 11, a TFT 12, an alignment film 13, a liquid crystal 14, an alignment film 15, a transparent electrode 16, a color filter 17, a glass 18, and a polarizing filter 19.

上述したバックライトユニットのプリズムシートは、液晶セル側に多数の平行な断面三角形のプリズム部を有する透明シートであり、導光板と拡散シートを通ってきた拡散光を、正面側（液晶セル側）に向かう光に方向を変える役割を果たしている（例えば、特許文献１、２参照）。   The prism sheet of the backlight unit described above is a transparent sheet having a large number of parallel triangular prism portions on the liquid crystal cell side, and diffused light that has passed through the light guide plate and the diffusion sheet is front side (liquid crystal cell side). It plays the role of changing the direction to the light going to (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

特表平１１−５０１１４９号公報Japanese National Patent Publication No. 11-501149 特表２００２−５０４６９８号公報JP-T-2002-504698

前述したバックライトユニットのプリズムシートにおいては、２枚のプリズムシートのうちの液晶セル側のシートから出射される光についてのプリズム部側輝度（正面側輝度）の視野角依存性は、図９に示す分布となっている。   In the prism sheet of the backlight unit described above, the viewing angle dependence of the prism portion side luminance (front side luminance) for the light emitted from the liquid crystal cell side sheet of the two prism sheets is shown in FIG. The distribution is shown.

しかし、図９からわかるように、上記プリズムシートでは正面から深い角度にも多くの光が出射されており、この光はディスプレイの鑑賞角度としては正面からの角度が深すぎるため、表示機能に貢献できない光となっている。   However, as can be seen from FIG. 9, the prism sheet emits a lot of light at a deep angle from the front, which contributes to the display function because the angle from the front is too deep as the viewing angle of the display. The light is impossible.

これに対し、特許文献１、２において、プリズムシートにおけるプリズム部の高さを変化させた構造が示されているが、この構造ではプリズム部側輝度を大きく向上させることは難しかった。   On the other hand, Patent Documents 1 and 2 show a structure in which the height of the prism portion of the prism sheet is changed. However, in this structure, it is difficult to greatly improve the prism portion side luminance.

本発明は、前述した事情に鑑みてなされたもので、プリズムシートにおいて、正面方向から深い角度で出射する光を低減し、正面方向の輝度を向上させた光学機能シートを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an optical functional sheet in a prism sheet that reduces light emitted at a deep angle from the front direction and improves the luminance in the front direction. To do.

本発明者らは、前述した課題を解決するために種々検討を行った結果、特定形状のプリズム部を有するプリズムシートを使用することによって、前述した目的を達成して、プリズムシートの正面方向の輝度を向上させることができることを見出した。   As a result of various studies to solve the above-described problems, the present inventors have achieved the above-described object by using a prism sheet having a prism portion having a specific shape, and in the front direction of the prism sheet. It has been found that the luminance can be improved.

次に、図面を参照して本発明に係る光学機能シートの実施形態を示すが、本発明は下記例に限定されるものではない。図１は本発明に係る光学機能シートの一例を示す正面図、図２は同光学機能シートのプリズム部の拡大図である。   Next, although the embodiment of the optical function sheet concerning the present invention is shown with reference to drawings, the present invention is not limited to the following example. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of an optical function sheet according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a prism portion of the optical function sheet.

本例の光学機能シート２０は、片面に複数の平行な断面略三角形のプリズム部を有する光学機能シートであって、上記プリズム部として、互いに頂部の高さが異なる第１プリズム部２２および第２プリズム部２４を有するものである。上記第１プリズム部２２および第２プリズム部２４は交互に配列されている。   The optical functional sheet 20 of the present example is an optical functional sheet having a plurality of parallel triangular section prism portions on one side, and the first prism portion 22 and the second prism portion having different apex heights as the prism portion. A prism portion 24 is provided. The first prism portion 22 and the second prism portion 24 are alternately arranged.

また、第２プリズム部２４より頂部の高さが高い第１プリズム部２２は、所定の傾斜角Ｐを有する下側部分２２ａと、この下側部分２２ａよりも傾斜角Ｑが小さい上側部分２２ｂとからなる。より具体的には、第１プリズム部２２の下側部分２２ａの傾斜角Ｐは４５°、上側部分２２ｂの傾斜角Ｑは３７°、上側部分２２ｂの頂角Ｒは１０６°である。また、頂部の高さが低い第２プリズム部２４の傾斜角Ｓは４５°、頂角Ｔは９０°である。   In addition, the first prism portion 22 having a top height higher than that of the second prism portion 24 includes a lower portion 22a having a predetermined inclination angle P, and an upper portion 22b having an inclination angle Q smaller than the lower portion 22a. Consists of. More specifically, the inclination angle P of the lower portion 22a of the first prism portion 22 is 45 °, the inclination angle Q of the upper portion 22b is 37 °, and the apex angle R of the upper portion 22b is 106 °. Further, the inclination angle S of the second prism portion 24 having a low apex height is 45 °, and the apex angle T is 90 °.

プリズムシートから出射される光の方向に影響する主な因子としては、プリズムシートの材料の屈折率と、プリズム部の形状（角度）とがある。本例の光学機能シート２０は、プリズムの頂部の角度を適正化することで、正面方向から深い角度で出射する光を低減したものである。すなわち、頂部の高さが高い第１プリズム部２２の頂角を上側部分２２ｂによって大きくし、下側部分２２ａは斜面の傾斜角を大きくするとともに、頂部の高さが低い第２プリズム部２４は、上記下側部分２２ａと同じ傾斜角で斜面が形成され、この斜面によって頂角を構成している。   The main factors affecting the direction of light emitted from the prism sheet include the refractive index of the material of the prism sheet and the shape (angle) of the prism portion. The optical function sheet 20 of this example reduces light emitted at a deep angle from the front direction by optimizing the angle of the top of the prism. In other words, the apex angle of the first prism portion 22 having a high apex height is increased by the upper portion 22b, the lower portion 22a increases the inclination angle of the slope, and the second prism portion 24 having a low apex height is obtained. An inclined surface is formed at the same inclination angle as that of the lower portion 22a, and an apex angle is formed by the inclined surface.

本例の光学機能シート２０は、上述した構成としたことにより、第１プリズム部２２から深い角度で出射される光はほとんど無く、第２プリズム部２４の上を通って逃げていく光がほとんど無い。したがって、本例の光学機能シート２０によれば、深い角度の領域で光学機能シート２０から出て行く光を大きく低減することができる。正面方向に近い角度の光も広がってしまうが、その影響度は小さく、正面から４５度以内に多くの光を入れることができる。   Since the optical function sheet 20 of the present example is configured as described above, almost no light is emitted from the first prism portion 22 at a deep angle, and almost no light escapes through the second prism portion 24. No. Therefore, according to the optical function sheet 20 of this example, it is possible to greatly reduce the light exiting from the optical function sheet 20 in a deep angle region. Light at an angle close to the front direction also spreads, but its influence is small, and a lot of light can be put within 45 degrees from the front.

図３は本発明に係る光学機能シートの他の例のプリズム部を示す拡大図である。本例の光学機能シート６０は、片面に複数の平行な断面略三角形のプリズム部を有する光学機能シートであって、上記プリズム部として、互いに頂部の高さが異なる第１プリズム部６２および第２プリズム部６４を有するものである。上記第１プリズム部６２および第２プリズム部６４は交互に配列されている。   FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing a prism portion of another example of the optical function sheet according to the present invention. The optical function sheet 60 of this example is an optical function sheet having a plurality of parallel triangular prism sections on one side, and the first prism section 62 and the second prism section have different top heights as the prism sections. A prism portion 64 is provided. The first prism portion 62 and the second prism portion 64 are alternately arranged.

本例の光学機能シート６０は、頂部の高さが高い第１プリズム部６２は頂角が大きく、頂部の高さが低い第２プリズム部６４は頂角が小さい。また、頂部の高さが高い第１プリズム部６２は、傾斜角が頂部に向かうにしたがい段階的（２段階）に小さくなり、頂部の高さが低い第２プリズム部６４は、傾斜角が頂部に向かうにしたがい段階的（２段階）に大きくなっている。   In the optical function sheet 60 of this example, the first prism portion 62 having a high top portion has a large apex angle, and the second prism portion 64 having a low top portion has a small apex angle. In addition, the first prism portion 62 having a high top portion has a gradually decreasing inclination angle (two steps) toward the top portion, and the second prism portion 64 having a low top portion has a top portion having an inclined angle at the top portion. As you go to, it grows step by step (two steps).

バックライトユニットを用いて、実施例、比較例１〜３のプリズムシートのプリズム部側輝度の視野角依存性を調査し、比較した。結果を図７に示す。視野角０°（正面）近傍の輝度は４種とも同等であるが、実施例の視野角４５°以内の光の量（輝度向上率の積分量に相当）は最も大きく、また視野角６０°以上の深い角度の領域の光の量（輝度向上率の積分量に相当）は実施例が最も小さかった。したがって、図７の結果より、本例の光学機能シートを用いることで、視野角６０°以上の領域の光を有効に視野角４５°以内の角度領域に使用し、視野角４５°以内の全光量を増加させることができることがわかる。   Using the backlight unit, the viewing angle dependence of the prism side luminance of the prism sheets of Examples and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was investigated and compared. The results are shown in FIG. The brightness in the vicinity of the viewing angle of 0 ° (front) is the same for all four types, but the amount of light within the viewing angle of 45 ° (corresponding to the integrated amount of the brightness improvement rate) in the embodiment is the largest, and the viewing angle is 60 °. The amount of light in the deep angle region (corresponding to the integral amount of the luminance improvement rate) was the smallest in the example. Therefore, from the result of FIG. 7, by using the optical function sheet of this example, light in a region with a viewing angle of 60 ° or more is effectively used in an angle region within a viewing angle of 45 °, and all of the viewing angles within 45 ° are used. It can be seen that the amount of light can be increased.
