2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in response to the demand for higher performance and lighter weight of information equipment, liquid crystal display devices, which are widely used for display devices such as office automation equipment, personal computers, word processors, etc., have become lighter, thinner and more sophisticated. , The demand for power saving is increasing. Along with the improvement of the liquid crystal display mechanism itself, there is a strong demand for thinning and high brightness of the backlight for making it easier to see the liquid crystal display device having no light emitting function, and various attempts have been made to improve the brightness. The method of improving the brightness of the backlight by increasing the input power leads to disadvantages such as increase in power consumption and heat generation, and increase in battery capacity for portable use, shortening of life, etc. Is inevitable. Therefore, it is required to improve the efficiency of the light of the backlight as well as to improve the cold cathode ray tube and the invertor. In a liquid crystal display device, the brightness in front of the observer is important. In the 1-lamp type, which is advantageous for thinning, the light emitted from one end is emitted uniformly over the entire display surface, so the light passing through the light diffusion layer becomes an omnidirectional light and the brightness when passing through the liquid crystal phase is Since this is disadvantageous to the observer, a method has been introduced in which directivity is given again to improve the brightness. For this reason, various lens sheets have been devised.

In these devices, the first example is an effective method for improving the luminance in the direction of the light emitting surface toward the liquid crystal surface. However, when handling the lens sheet, the prism apex is often scratched, which is a drawback that is observed as uneven light. In addition, interference fringes or close contact between the lens sheet and the diffuser plate, or in the case of stacking multiple lens sheets, reduce the lens effect due to interference fringes or close contact, which leads to loss of light uniformity. Easy In the second example, it is easy to protect against scratches on the top of the prism, but the effect of improving the brightness is small. The third example is effective in preventing the occurrence of light unevenness due to interference fringes and adhesion, but generally tends to hinder the improvement of brightness. Therefore, there is a need for a fourth device capable of sufficiently improving the brightness and enhancing the uniformity of light.

One of them is selection of materials. In general, polymethacrylic acid ester and polycarbonate are widely used as optical materials as a translucent thermoplastic material. Further, in recent years, amorphous polyolefin has come to be used as an optical material (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-36331).

In this case, four steps of a resin coating step, a laminating step of stacking transparent base materials, an active energy ray irradiation curing step, and a releasing step are required. Therefore, it is necessary to select a material that can sufficiently increase the brightness and to faithfully form a shape in which scratches are unlikely to occur during handling by the ordinary polymer material processing method and adhesion between sheets and interference fringes are unlikely to occur. To be done.

The material for the lens sheet is excellent in transparency and can form a fine shape with high precision, and the environment resistance of which performance does not change under the use environment conditions of the backlight incorporated in the liquid crystal display device. Heat resistance is required. Polycarbonate is also a useful material for this purpose and is often used, but it is difficult to accurately mold a fine shape by the usual thermoplastic synthetic resin molding method, and the prism sheet obtained by this method has improved brightness.

The present inventors have focused their attention on the fact that amorphous thermoplastic polyester can accurately form a fine shape, and have aimed to improve the performance of the lens sheet, including the improvement of the brightness. 60 or more materials,
The glass transition temperature is 1 to suit the environmental conditions used.
It has been found that the glass transition temperature must be not less than 00 ° C and that the glass transition temperature must be not more than 150 ° C in order to obtain the moldability required for accurately forming a fine shape. On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-168211, it is 9,
9-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) fluorene, 2,
Various polyesters composed of 2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, terephthalic acid, and isophthalic acid have been proposed. Although the glass transition point is sufficiently high, the range for satisfying both the refractive index and molding processability is rather narrow for lens sheets. Further, there are proposals for improving the mechanical properties of this type of polyester (Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-22931) and for improving the film properties (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-73902), but in particular Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 6-49186, 9,9-bis ( Proposed to be suitable for optical disk substrates because polyester made of 4-hydroxyethoxyphenyl) fluorene, ethylene glycol, and terephthalic acid is transparent, has heat resistance, has small optical anisotropy, and has excellent moldability and dimensional stability. Has been done. As a result of multi-faceted examination of this type of copolymer, it has sufficient moldability for molding a fine shape as a lens sheet and has a high refractive index, and as a result, it is possible to sufficiently improve the brightness of the lens sheet. It turned out to be preferable.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. The lens sheet of the present invention has a refractive index of 1.60 or more and a glass transition temperature of 10
It is composed of an amorphous thermoplastic polyester having a temperature of 0 ° C. or higher and 150 ° C. or lower. When the refractive index is less than 1.60, the obtained lens sheet does not sufficiently improve the brightness, and when the glass transition point is less than 100 ° C, it is difficult to endure under the environmental conditions in which it is used, and a polyester copolymer having high heat resistance of 150 ° C or higher is fine. It is difficult to form a simple lens shape and the performance is poor. It is essential to meet these requirements together. Various examples are given as examples of the amorphous polyester copolymer of the present invention. The dicarboxylic acid may be used in combination with an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or a partial aliphatic carboxylic acid. Examples of aromatic dicarboxylic acids include phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, phenylindanedicarboxylic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, tetrahydronaphthalenedicarboxylic acid, etc., but it is necessary to appropriately select them in consideration of the type of glycol to be combined. is there. In particular, terephthalic acid is most preferable for the wide selection of dihydroxy compounds described below.

The above aliphatic glycol is used, but it is preferable to use a part of this glycol by replacing it with a dihydroxy compound containing an aromatic ring in the molecule. In order to maintain heat resistance while being amorphous, the aliphatic glycol is changed to 9,9-bis- (4-hydroxyethoxyphenyl) -fluorene, 9,9-bis (4-hydroxypropoxyphenyl) -fluorene, or the like. It is convenient to replace it. In particular, it is preferable to replace 10 mol% or more of all glycol components in the resin with 9,9-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) -fluorene. If it is less than 10 mol%, the refractive index is difficult to increase and the heat resistance is insufficient. At this time, it is preferable to combine ethylene glycol as the glycol component.

In the production of a lens sheet, a shape in which a large number of lens portions of prism-shaped units, which are substantially triangular prisms on at least one surface, are arranged in a plane so that their major axis directions are substantially parallel to each other, improves brightness. effective. The apex angle of the triangular prism is preferably 70 to 110 degrees. Less than 70 degrees and 11
If it exceeds 0 degrees, the effect of improving the brightness is small. This apex angle is a substantial angle, and even if a slight curvature occurs, there is no problem as long as the brightness is not greatly reduced. As a method of preventing scratches that are likely to occur when handling the lens sheet, it is also preferable to provide a slight curvature at the top. One way. Further, it is preferable to use those having substantially the same length from the apex to the respective hypotenuses because light is likely to be concentrated in the normal direction of the prism bottom surface, that is, in front of the observer. Further, in order to make it difficult to distinguish the stripe pattern of the linear prism by the light emitted through the lens sheet, the interval between the prism units is 10 to 100.
0 μm is preferable, and further 10 to 500 μm
More preferably m. The height of the prism unit is determined by the interval of the prism unit. The thickness of the sheet is preferably 50 to 1000 μm. 50 μm
If the thickness is less than 100 μm, the mechanical strength is insufficient, and if the thickness exceeds 1000 μm, it is disadvantageous for light transmission, weight reduction and thickness reduction.

Example 2 Using 26 parts of dimethyl terephthalate, 54 parts of 9,9-bis- (4-hydroxyethoxyphenyl) -fluorene and 20 parts of ethylene glycol as a raw material composition, 0.028 parts of calcium acetate and 0. Pellets were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 009 parts and 0.022 part of trimethyl phosphate were used. This amorphous thermoplastic polyester has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.43 and a glass transition temperature of 145.
C. and the refractive index was 1.63. 9 out of all glycol components
This means that 1.9 mol% was replaced with 9,9-bis- (4-hydroxyethoxyphenyl) -fluorene. Using this polyester, the lens sheet 2A is formed by the method of lens sheet molding A except that the mold temperature is changed to 280 °.
I got Further, a lens sheet 2B was obtained by the same method except that the temperature of the metal roll was changed to 135 ° C. and the extruded resin temperature was changed to 290 ° C. by the method of lens sheet molding B. The brightness of these two types of sheets was measured and the prism shape was confirmed by the same method as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1.
The results of Example 1 are also summarized in Table 1. As is clear from Table 1, the polyester having a high glass transition temperature (Example 2) has low moldability in both the sheet molding method A and the sheet molding method B, and the prism is likely to be slightly displaced from the design dimension of the mold. In particular, the top portion is lowered and the curvature is likely to occur. However, the effect of improving the brightness is kept relatively high, and the advantage of protecting the easily damaged top is obtained.

A lens sheet was manufactured under temperature conditions and the obtained lens sheet was evaluated for performance in the same manner as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1. As is clear from Table 1, the moldability of the lens sheet of polycarbonate is poor, and a lens sheet that is considerably different from the design dimension of the mold is likely to be formed.
