Preferably, the pitch of the second prism pattern may be 50 to 170 탆.
Preferably, the second prism pattern has a smaller internal angle than the first prism pattern.
Preferably, the internal angle of the second prism pattern may be 0.5 to 7 degrees.
Preferably, the reverse prism type protective sheet further includes a second prism pattern having a plurality of prisms arranged on a lower surface thereof, and a non-planar pattern having a random cross-sectional shape on an upper surface facing the first prism pattern .
Preferably, the reverse prism type protective sheet may have a haze ranging from 1 to 35%.
Preferably, the non-planar pattern included in the inverse prism-type protective sheet may be formed as a surface having a plurality of fine protrusions.
Preferably, the non-planar pattern included in the reverse prism type protective sheet may be formed as a surface having a plurality of fine grooves.
Preferably, the non-planar pattern included in the inverse prism-type protective sheet may be formed as a surface having a plurality of convex divided regions.
The first prism pattern may be formed of a material having a first refractive index, and the second prism pattern may be formed of a material having a second refractive index different from the first refractive index.
Preferably, the first refractive index may have a value greater than the second refractive index.
The material of the first prism pattern and the material of the second prism pattern may have different intensities.
Preferably, the reverse prism sheet may be adhered to the reverse prism type protective sheet by an adhesive layer.
In the inverse prism type optical element according to the present invention, since the inverse prism type protective sheet for preventing damage is disposed between the light guide plate and the reverse prism sheet, the damage due to the contact between the light guide plate and the reverse prism sheet is eliminated, It is effective.
By disposing the reverse prism type protective sheet as in the present invention between the light guide plate and the reverse prism sheet, it is possible to solve the problem that scratches occur in the light guide plate due to assembly or pressing during use or that the vertex of the prism pattern formed on the reverse prism sheet is damaged . Therefore, reliability and durability of the entire device can be improved.

Haze = (DT / TT) x 100 (unit,%)
Here, the diffused transmitted light (DT) is the amount of scattered light (lux) among the light transmitted through the sample, and the total transmitted light (DT) is the amount of all light transmitted through the sample. Parallel transmittance (PT), on the other hand, can be expressed as TT - DT, where PT is the amount of light transmitted without causing scattering in the transmitted light.

The fine protrusions and the fine grooves generally have a circle shape in planar projection, but may have various shapes such as an ellipse, a polygon, and the like, and shapes and sizes may be different from each other. The diameter when the planar projection shape of the fine protrusions and the fine grooves is not a circle is defined as a maximum value of the distances between two points on the edge of the planar projection shape.
