Abstract

PURPOSE: To freely combine a transparent-resin sheet and the components of a light diffusing agent and to reduce cost by embedding or sticking a cloth, wherein the polygonal columnar fibers consisting of a transparent org. or inorg. material are orderly arranged, in or on a transparent-resin sheet. CONSTITUTION: A cloth, wherein polygonal columnar fibers consisting of at least one kind of transparent org. or inorg. material are arranged orderly, e.g. in the same direction, is embedded in or or stuck on a transparent-resin sheet. A light control sheet is obtained by sticking a cloth 4 formed by arranging 10 pts.wt. of polygonal columnar, e.g. triangular columnar, acrylic fibers 2 as a light diffusing agent in the same longitudinal direction, and the polycarbonate fibers 3 having the same composition as a polycarbonate-resin sheet 1 in the same lateral direction on a transparent-resin sheet, e.g. 100 pts.wt. of the polycarbonate-resin sheet 1. At this time, the length of one side a1 of the acrylic fiber 2 is controlled to 10μm. Further, the acrylic fibers 2 can be arranged either in the longitudinal direction or in the lateral direction.

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, this type of light control sheet has been prepared by mixing a transparent resin sheet with a transparent fine particle light diffusing agent having a different refractive index or a resin containing a fine particle light diffusing agent. It is known that the surface of a transparent resin sheet is coated with. Further, in order to improve the strength and the flame retardancy, a light control sheet using a light diffusing agent of fine fibrous material instead of the light diffusing agent of fine particles is disclosed in, for example, JP-A 1-2.
It is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 09402. Further, a so-called anisotropic light control sheet, in which the light diffusing agent of the fine fibrous material is used to impart anisotropy to the outgoing light characteristics of the light control sheet so that more light is emitted in a predetermined direction, For example, it is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-314522.

However, the present inventor has found that the above-mentioned anisotropic light control sheet has the following problems. That is, in the anisotropic light control sheet, the transparent resin sheet mixed with the light diffusing agent of fine particles is stretched to form the light diffusing agent of fine particles in a fibrous shape. However, in order to perform the stretching process, the Tg of the transparent resin sheet component and the Tg of the fine particle component must be very close to each other, so that the selectivity of the transparent resin sheet component and the fine particle component is limited. To be done.

That is, when the transparent resin sheet is stretched at a temperature at which the transparent resin sheet is soft and the fine particles are hard, the fine particles are not formed into a fibrous shape. Further, under the temperature at which the transparent resin sheet is hardened, even if the fine particles are soft, the transparent resin sheet itself is broken during the stretching process. Therefore,
When the transparent resin sheet is in the soft stretchable temperature range, the fine particles also have to be in the soft stretchable state. In this way, the combination of the transparent resin sheet and the components of the fine particles is limited, so that the light control sheet cannot be manufactured with an inexpensive material, resulting in an increase in cost. in addition,
It becomes impossible to realize a combination of materials that obtains sufficient diffusion. In addition, since the drawing process is performed, the yield becomes poor,
The cost will increase.
