Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an optical film, and more particularly to an optical film for a backlight module of a liquid crystal display. [Prior Art] A backlight module of a liquid crystal display (LCD) is an important component for providing a light source, wherein an optical film (also referred to as a cymbal) is used to gather light in a traveling direction to be distributed along a predetermined basis. The direction travels for the most effective use, and is a key component in the backlight module. Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional optical film stack mainly includes a substrate u and a plurality of germanium structures 12. The 稜鏡 structures 12 are light-transmissive and elongated, and are formed on the substrate 11 substantially in parallel with each other. Each 稜鏡 structure has a V-shaped cross section, and the 稜鏡 structure 12 is So that when light passes, refraction and total reflection are generated to concentrate the light and emit light substantially in the direction of the direction of the substrate u. However, since each of the structures 12 is a regular strip structure of a fixed width, Regularly arranged in parallel with each other is formed on the substrate crucible, so that optical interference occurs when light passes, and color lines or light and dark stripes appear. Therefore, various improvements have been proposed by the industry, such as the US Pat. No. 5,519,519, which discloses a technique for forming a different arrangement pitch of a tantalum structure on a substrate, and a method for forming different heights on a substrate as disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,771,328. The technical means of the structure attempts to solve the optical interference phenomenon of the optical film after the light passes. However, the aforementioned patents vary the arrangement and the orientation of the 稜鏡 structure 201113562, and the prism structures are still arranged in accordance with the optical angle of the 彳1. The improvement is limited. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an optical film which can prevent optical interference from occurring after light has passed. Thus, the present invention relates to an optical film comprising a substrate and a plurality of prism structures. The substrate is composed of a light transmissive material. The prism structures are light transmissive and elongated, and are formed substantially parallel to each other on the light transmissive substrate. 'Every 稜鏡 structure includes at least - a long direction along the ridge structure is formed at the rib a groove on the mirror structure. The effect of the invention is that: by forming a groove on the prism structure, when the light passes through the optical material, the refracting and total reflection of the 稜鏡 structure enhances the uniformity of the light exiting in a predetermined direction, and the groove is used on the one hand. The groove increases the diversity of the traveling direction of the light when the light is emitted in a predetermined direction, and avoids the occurrence of optical interference when the light is emitted while improving the brightness of the entire light. The above and other technical contents, features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments. Before the present invention is described in detail, it is noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals. Referring to Fig. 2, a preferred embodiment of an optical film 2 of the present invention comprises a base 201113562 material 21, and a plurality of prism structures 22. The material of the substrate 21 is glass or plastic, wherein the plastic material is selected from the group consisting of polyester resin, polyacrylate resin, polyolefin resin (p〇ly〇iefin resin), and polycarbonate. A material such as a polycarbonate resin, a polyurethane resin, or a triacetate cellulose (TAC), the material of the substrate 21 can be easily replaced by those skilled in the relevant art. I will not repeat them here. • The 稜鏡 structure 22 is formed of a material that transmits light and has a refractive index of ΐ·3 to 2.0, and is formed in a strip shape and substantially parallel to the substrate 21, and has an excellent condensing effect. 'The 稜鏡 structure 22 is selected from a thermosetting resin, an acrylate resin, or an ultraviolet curable resin as a material. More specifically. 'Each 稜鏡 structure 22 includes two inclined faces 221 and a trench 222 extending obliquely upward from the substrate 21 and intersecting at a predetermined angle, such that each prism structure 22 has a triangular cross section, and each trench 222 is along the ridge structure. A long direction of 22 is formed on the inclined surface 221 on the same side of the mother-side structure 22, respectively. Since the groove 222 is formed by the inclined surface 221 on the same side of each of the structures 22, when the light passes through the optical film 2, the light is concentrated and totally reflected by the 稜鏡 structure 22, and the light is concentrated and converged. Light is emitted along the direction of the direction of the substrate 21, thereby increasing the overall amount of light emitted. Further, the grooves 222 formed in the 稜鏡 structure 22 define a plurality of refracting surfaces that are not parallel to each other, so that convergence substantially follows The direction vector of the substrate 21, 201113562, still produces a variety of directions of travel, and it is possible to avoid the occurrence of optical interference under the premise of passing the amount of light. Preferably, the widths of the grooves 222 are between 1//m and 5 〇 between the melons, and the depth is between 1 and 3" m. More preferably, the second degree of the grooves 222 is between ly. Between m~30#m, and the depth is between h and AWm~15//ηι. It can also be shown in various settings, each of which is specifically described here, the groove 222 Formed on the 稜鏡 structure 22, each inclined surface 221 of the body 22 of FIG. 3 has a groove 222 respectively; or as shown in FIG. *, the inclined surface 221 of the same side of each 稜鏡 structure 22 has The plurality of grooves 222 ′ and the grooves on the same inclined surface 221 may be staggered or not staggered with each other. The illustration is staggered by two grooves # 222; or as shown in FIG. 5 , each prism Each of the inclined faces 221 of the structure 22 has a plurality of grooves 222, and the grooves 222 on the same inclined surface 221 may be staggered or not interlaced with each other. Interlaced descriptions can also be achieved by concentrating the light by the prism structure to substantially illuminate the direction of the substrate along the direction of the substrate 21, and the other direction The reducing optical interference generating surface traveling in the quantitative direction can be substantially parallel to the substrate 21 by the groove 222. The traveling direction of the light can still be varied. Referring to FIG. 6, the 稜鏡 structure 22 can also be a substantially triangular cross section. Moreover, the top 胄 223 is in the shape of an arc, and the arrangement of the grooved melon can also reduce the generation of optical interference by the direction of travel of the twin diversity. 201113562 In summary, the present invention mainly provides a An optical film having a groove formed on the 稜鏡 structure, wherein a plurality of non-parallel refracting surfaces are formed on the prism structure by the staggered arrangement of the grooves, and when the light passes through the optical 貘, the 稜鏡 structure is generated by the 稜鏡 structure Refraction and total reflection enhance the uniformity of light exiting in a predetermined direction, thereby producing a concentrating effect. On the one hand, the groove is used to increase the diversity of the traveling direction of the light when exiting in a predetermined direction, and the brightness of the overall light passing through is improved. Under the circumstance, the occurrence of optical interference at the time of light extraction is avoided, and the disadvantage that optical interference occurs in a conventional optical film is indeed improved, so that Φ can achieve the object of the present invention. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the construction of a conventional optical film; FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a first preferred embodiment of the optical film of the present invention.
