Description
【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は液晶表示装置用バックライトシステムに用いられる光拡散効果を併せ持つレンズシートの製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、液晶表示装置用バックライトにはエッジライト方式が多く用いられている。エッジライト型バックライトは一般に、透光性材料からなる導光板と、その側面端部に設けられた冷陰極管等からなる線光源と、導光板の下面と線光源を覆うように配置された光反射フィルムと、出光面となる導光板の上面に配置された光拡散フィルムやレンズシートで構成される。
近年、輝度の向上及び消費電力の低下を目的として、特にカラー液晶表示装置においては、光拡散フィルムの上面もしくは光拡散フィルムと導光板の間に表面にプリズム形状を有するレンズシートを1枚もしくは2枚配置することが多くなった。
また、光源からの距離により出光量の不均一を改善するため、導光板の裏面には光拡散インキからなるドット状のパターンが、光源から離れるにしたがって大きくなるように印刷されている。
光拡散フィルムは、光を均一に拡散し、導光板の裏面に印刷されたドット状パターンを見えなくすることを主目的として配置され、レンズシートは導光板から出射した光を効率良く液晶パネルの正面方向に集光するために、光拡散フィルムの上面もしくは光拡散フィルムと導光板の間に1枚もしくは2枚配される。
