At this time, the reflectance and diffusivity of light are increased by the beads 151, so that the light quantity and the uniformity of the outgoing light supplied to the diffusion plate are improved, and as a result, the luminance of the illumination device can be improved.

The bead 151 may be appropriately adjusted to obtain a desired light diffusion effect. More specifically, the bead 151 may be adjusted in a range of 0.01 to 0.3% based on the weight of the entire resin layer 150, but is not limited thereto . That is, the light emitted laterally from the light source 130 is diffused and reflected through the resin layer 150 and the bead 151, and can proceed in the upward direction. The beads 151 may be made of any one selected from the group consisting of sillicon, silica, glass bubble, PMMA, urethane, Zn, Zr, Al 2 O 3 , And the diameter of the beads 151 may be in the range of 1 占 퐉 to 20 占 퐉, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

3 and 11 to 13, the illumination device 100d of the present invention is formed between the resin layer 150 and the diffusion plate 290 and includes a first optical sheet (not shown) formed on the resin layer upper surface 150 A second optical sheet 190 formed on the first optical sheet 170 and an adhesive layer 180 formed between the first optical sheet 170 and the second optical sheet 190 And a second air gap 181 may be further formed in the adhesive layer 180. That is, the adhesive layer 180 is formed by forming a space (second air gap) 181 spaced around the optical pattern 183 and applying an adhesive material to the other portion to form the first optical sheet 170 and the second optical sheet 183, (190) to each other. Further, an optical pattern 183 may be further formed on the upper surface of the first optical sheet 170 or on the lower surface of the second optical sheet 190, and one or more additional optical sheets may be additionally formed on the second optical sheet 190 It is also possible to do. The structure including the first optical sheet 170, the second optical sheet 190, the adhesive layer 180 and the optical pattern 183 can be defined as the optical pattern layer A. [

The optical pattern 183 may be formed as a light-shielding pattern formed to prevent the light emitted from the light source unit from being focused. For this purpose, alignment between the optical pattern 183 and the position of the light source 130 is required The first optical sheet 170 and the second optical sheet 190 are adhered to each other by using the adhesive layer 180 for securing the fixing force.

The first optical sheet 170 and the second optical sheet 190 can be formed using a material having a high light transmittance. For example, PET can be used.

The optical pattern 183 disposed between the first optical sheet 170 and the second optical sheet 190 basically functions to prevent the light emitted from the light source 130 from being concentrated. The optical pattern 183 may be formed as a light shielding pattern so that a light shielding effect can be realized to prevent a phenomenon in which the light is excessively strong in strength and the optical characteristics are deteriorated or the yellow light is yellowish. The pattern may be formed by performing a printing process on the upper surface of the first optical sheet 170 or the lower surface of the second optical sheet 190 using light shielding ink.

The optical pattern 183 is not a function to completely block the light, but can be implemented so that the light shielding degree and the diffusing degree of the light can be controlled by one optical pattern so as to perform a function of partial shielding and diffusion of light. Furthermore, more particularly, the optical pattern 183 according to the present invention may be implemented with a superimposed printing structure of a complex pattern. The structure of superimposed printing refers to a structure in which one pattern is formed and another pattern is printed on the pattern.

For example, when the optical pattern 183 is implemented, at least one selected from TiO 2 , CaCO 3 , BaSO 4 , Al 2 O 3 , and Silicon is formed on the lower surface of the polymer film (for example, the second optical sheet) A light-shielding pattern formed by using a light-shielding ink including a diffusion pattern formed using a light-shielding ink containing a substance and a mixed material of Al or Al and TiO 2 . That is, it is also possible to form a diffusion pattern on the surface of a polymer film by white printing, and then form a light-shielding pattern thereon or a double structure in the reverse order. Of course, it will be obvious that the formation design of such a pattern can be variously modified in consideration of light efficiency, intensity, and shading ratio. Alternatively, it is also possible to form a light-shielding pattern, which is a metal pattern, in the middle layer in a sequential laminated structure, and to form a triplet in which a diffusion pattern is formed on the upper and lower portions, respectively. In such a triple structure, it is possible to select and implement the above-mentioned materials. As a preferable example, one of the diffusion patterns is realized by using TiO 2 having excellent refractive index, and CaCO 3 excellent in light stability and color is used together with TiO 2 The light diffusing pattern can be realized and the light efficiency and homogeneity can be ensured through the triple structure which realizes a light shielding pattern by using Al which is excellent in concealment. Particularly, CaCO 3 functions to reduce the exposure of yellow light and finally realize white light. Thus, it is possible to realize light with more stable efficiency. In addition to CaCO 3 , particles such as BaSO 4 , Al 2 O 3 , It is also possible to utilize inorganic materials having a large size and a similar structure. In addition, it is preferable that the optical pattern 183 is formed by adjusting the pattern density so that the pattern density becomes lower as the distance from the LED light source emission direction increases.

The adhesive layer 180 has a structure that surrounds the periphery of the optical pattern 183 and forms a second air gap 181 in the other portion or a structure that forms a second air gap 181 in the periphery of the optical pattern 183 So that the two optical sheets can be adhered to each other to form an array. In other words, the adhesive structure of the first optical sheet 170 and the second optical sheet 190 can also realize the function of fixing the printed optical pattern 183.

At this time, the adhesive layer 180 may be a thermosetting PSA, a thermosetting adhesive, or a UV cured PSA type material, but is not limited thereto.

The first air gap 280 described in the description of FIG. 11 may be formed between the second optical sheet 190 and the diffuser plate 170, and the presence of the first air gap 280 may cause diffusion The uniformity of the light supplied to the plate 290 can be increased and consequently the uniformity of the light diffused and emitted through the diffuser plate 290 can be improved. At this time, in order to minimize a deviation of light transmitted through the resin layer 150, the thickness of the first air gap 280 may be formed in a range of 0 to 20 mm, but the present invention is not limited thereto, Is as described above in the description of Fig.

Although not shown in the drawings, it is described above that at least one optical sheet may be additionally formed on the optical pattern layer A as necessary.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, Those skilled in the art will appreciate that many suitable modifications and variations are possible in light of the present invention. Accordingly, all such modifications and variations as fall within the scope of the present invention should be considered.
