The production and evaluation of the trials will be repeated. However, with the previous party, Muli & must re-create the transfer mold every time the prototype is made. Therefore, the actual situation is that the optimization of the concave and convex shape requires a great cost and time. 161653.doc 201235196 Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for determining a concavo-convex shape of an optical member, comprising: transferring a shape of a transfer mold for trial production at a different transfer rate a step of forming a plurality of optical member prototypes having mutually different uneven shapes, a step of evaluating optical characteristics of the optical member prototypes, and a step of determining the uneven shape of the optical members based on the optical characteristics. According to the method of the present invention, a plurality of prototypes having different uneven shapes are prepared by changing the transfer rate during molding. Therefore, it is not necessary to reproduce the transfer mold for trial production in preparation for the prototype. In other aspects, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an optical member. The manufacturing method of the present invention includes the step of forming an optical member by transfer from a transfer mold for manufacturing an optical member. The transfer mold for manufacturing an optical member has a concave-convex shape determined by the above method According to the manufacturing method of the present invention described above, the transfer mold for optical member manufacturing can be easily prepared, so that an optical member having excellent optical characteristics can be more efficiently produced. In order to stably manufacture an optical member, optical The transfer mold for manufacturing a member preferably has an inverted shape in which the uneven shape of the optical member is formed at a transfer rate of 90% or more. Effect of the Invention 161653.doc 201235196 According to the present invention, a use is provided. The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. That is, a perspective view of one embodiment of the optical sheet. The optical sheet 30 shown in Fig. 1 includes a pair of main faces having a rectangular shape in plan view. The main surface S1 of one side is formed with a concave convex shape having a plurality of convex portions 35. The shape of the cross section of the convex portion 35 extending in the direction of one side of the main surface of the optical sheet 30 and orthogonal to the extending direction of the convex portion 35 is a mountain shape. The plurality of convex portions 35 are arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction thereof. The uneven shape having the convex portion 35 is formed by transfer from a transfer mold. The optical sheet 30 can be used, for example, as a light guide plate of a surface light source device (backlight device) mounted in a transmissive image device, or as a light diffusing plate for uniformly diffusing light from a light source. When the optical sheet 3 is used as a light guide plate, for example, light from a light source is incident from the side surface 33 into the aperture sheet 30, and the planar light is self-contained from the main surface Si having the uneven shape. When the optical sheet 30 is used as a light diffusing plate, for example, the light source is disposed on the back surface S2 side of the reverse surface of the main surface s 1 . The optical sheet 30 is mainly a light transmissive sheet containing a transparent material. The refractive index of the transparent material is usually L48 or more and i.62 or less or 156 or more and 162 or less. As a transparent material, a transparent resin and a transparent glass can be illustrated. In the case of a light diffusing plate, the transparent resin is preferably a self-polycarbonate resin (refractive index: coffee (4)) resin (A 161653.doc 201235196 acrylic acid acrylate-styrene copolymer resin) (refractive index: 丨56~丨59) AS (Acrylonitrile Styrene) resin (acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer resin) (refractive index: 1.56 to 1.59), polystyrene resin (refractive index: j 59), and cycloolefin resin (refractive index 1.51) Choose from ~1.55). The transparent resin is preferably a pmma (polymethylMethacrylate) resin in the case of light guiding/'U-like 疋. In the case where a transparent resin is used as the transparent material, the optical sheet fastener may also contain additives such as an ultraviolet absorber, an antistatic agent, an antioxidant, a processing stabilizer, a flame retardant, and a lubricant. These additives may be used singly or in combination of two or more kinds. Examples of the ultraviolet absorber include, for example, a benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorber, a benzophenone-based ultraviolet absorber, and a cyanoacrylate-based ultraviolet absorber; a propionate-based ultraviolet absorber; and a oxalic acid-based anilide system. Ultraviolet absorber, three-plowed UV absorber, etc. Among these, a stupid triazole-based ultraviolet absorber and a tri-morphic ultraviolet absorber are preferred. The optical sheet 30 may also contain a light diffusing agent. As the light diffusing agent, particles having a refractive index different from that of the above-mentioned transparent material mainly constituting % of the optical sheet can be preferably used. As the light diffusing agent, for example, organic particles such as styrene resin particles or eucalyptus eucalyptus particles, and organic particles such as carbonated particles and Shiray particles can be used. The particle size of the light diffusing agent is generally Ο-〜''', and FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of a method for producing an optical sheet. The optical sheet manufacturing apparatus shown in FIG. Concavo-convex shape = The optical sheet 3G is formed by extrusion molding of a resin. The optical sheet manufacturing and setting 50 mainly comprises: squeezing the resin in a state of heating and squeezing; 161653.doc 201235196 press 58; a resin input port 57 mounted on the extruder 58 for putting the resin into the resin; The resin extruded by the extruder 58 is discharged to form a stamper 51 of the continuous resin sheet 3; on the downstream side of the stamper 51, the pre-nip rolls 52' first extrusion are sequentially disposed. Roller 52A and second press roll 52B. A transfer mold 53 corresponding to the uneven shape of the optical sheet 3 is formed on the circumferential surface of the second pressing roll 52B. The continuous resin sheet 3 discharged from the stamper 51 passes between the pre-nip roll 52d and the first press roll 52A. The thickness of the continuous resin sheet 3 is mainly controlled by the interval between the pre-pressing roll 52D and the first pressing roll 52A. In the case where the continuous resin sheet 3 is conveyed to a position between the rolls, the molten wall 4 in which the molten resin is retained is formed in a large amount. The continuous resin sheet 3 between the pre-pressing roll 52D and the first pressing roll 52a is conveyed to the circumferential surface of the first pressing roll 52A to be received between the second pressing roll 52A and the second pressing roll 52B. The position of the extrusion. The continuous stencil sheet 3 is pressed from both sides in the thickness direction when passing between the first squeezing dry roll 52a and the second squeezing roll 52B, thereby transferring the shape of the transfer mold 53 to the continuous resin. The surface (main surface) 81 of the sheet 3 is placed. The continuous resin sheet 3 whose shape has been transferred is conveyed on the peripheral surface of the second pressing roll 52B by the cooling surface, and then taken up as an optical sheet 3〇. On the main surface S1 on one side of the optical sheet 3, a concavo-convex shape transferred from the transfer mold 53 is formed. In the case where the optical sheet 30 is molded into an optical member prototype, the trial transfer mold 53' is used to form a plurality of moldings having mutually different uneven shapes while changing the transfer rate. I61653.doc 201235196 Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of a step of forming an optical sheet 3 as an optical member prototype. As shown in Fig. 3 (a), the transfer mold 53 has an inverted shape in which a concave portion 53a which is a groove having a depth hi is formed corresponding to the convex portion 35 having the uneven shape of the optical member 30. As shown in Fig. 3 (b), the continuous resin sheet 3 is pressed and filled into the recesses 53 & The height h2 of the convex portion 35 formed in the concave portion 53a in a state in which the resin is in close contact with the transfer mold 53 is smaller than the maximum depth hi, so that a gap remains between the resin and the transfer mold 53. Further, after the resin is completely filled into the concave portion 53a, it becomes a shape of hl = h2. After the temperature of the resin is lowered to some extent, the optical sheet 3 is detached from the transfer mold 53. Thereafter, the resin shrinks due to thermoelastic deformation, so the height h3 of the convex portion 35 of the optical sheet 3 in the cured state of the resin is h3. It becomes smaller than the height h2. When the filling rate (112/111) is small, there are many cases where the shape of the edge portion of the final convex portion 35 correctly reflects the shape of the transfer mold. The transfer rate (°/〇) can be defined as a value calculated by the formula: (h3/hl)xl〇〇. By changing the transfer rate in the range of, for example, 3 〇 to i 〇〇%, it is possible to easily produce a plurality of prototypes having various irregularities from a transfer mold in a short period of time. To enable those skilled in the art to understand, the transfer rate according to the shape of the transfer mold can be controlled by appropriately adjusting the molding conditions of the optical sheet. For example, there is a method in which the filling rate (h2/hl) of the resin filled in the concave portion 53a of the transfer mold is "the condition". By the method, for example, when raising the temperature of the resin discharged from the stamper, when the line speed is increased, when the molten wall is reduced, or when the temperature of the press roll having the transfer mold is raised, the filling is performed. Since the fluidity of the resin is increased, the transfer rate tends to increase. Or 161653.doc 201235196, you can also set the conditions such as roll temperature and line speed by focusing on the degree of thermoelastic deformation of the resin after demolding (h3/h2). In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the shape of the concave portion of the transfer mold is a mountain shape including a curved line, but the shape of the transfer mold is not limited thereto. For example, a transfer mold having a concave portion having a triangular cross-sectional shape can be preferably used. By using a plurality of transfer dies having different base angles, it is possible to easily produce diversified prototypes having different optical characteristics in a short period of time. A plurality of transfer patterns having different uneven shapes may be prepared, and the test pieces may be formed at different transfer rates for the respective transfer molds. A transfer mold including a plurality of regions having different irregularities may also be used. Since a plurality of transfer embossings having different concavo-convex shapes are prepared in advance, it is possible to produce a variety of concave and convex shapes in a short period of time without designing a transfer mold when designing a new "study sheet". Further, it is possible to more efficiently optimize the optical sheet by changing the material constituting the optical sheet or the like at the time of producing the prototype. For example, the refractive index, particle size, and concentration of the light diffusing agent can be adjusted to further characterize the embossing of the surface of the optical sheet. By evaluating the optical characteristics of each of the tantalum products, and comparing the photon characteristics of each of the prototypes with the target optical characteristics, it is possible to determine the uneven shape of the optical characteristics that are satisfactorily achieved as the manufactured product. The optical member is set to the target uneven shape. 4 If necessary, the shape and transfer rate of the transfer mold are changed, and the steps of forming the prototype and the step of evaluating the optical characteristics of each sample are repeated to optimize the concave and convex shape of the optical sheet. Doc 201235196 and, depending on the situation, select a qualified product from the material composition, embossing, etc., and select the qualified product from, for example. Λ ^ The non-uniformity of the emitted light, the bin, the total light transmittance, and the haze are selected as the optical characteristics for determining the uneven shape. In general, it is preferable that the unevenness in the plane of the emitted light is small (higher uniformity), and the brightness is preferably higher in the range of the emitted light = no damage. The evaluation of the optical characteristics can also be carried out in a state in which it is incorporated in a surface light source device or the like that is supposed to be used. Depending on the need: The optical sheet is optimized by cross-sectional shape observation, simulation, and the like. After the design of the optical sheet as the target optical characteristic is completed by the above-described method, the transfer mold for manufacturing an optical member having an inverted shape corresponding to the uneven shape is prepared. For example, a transfer mold is produced by observing a cross-sectional shape of a prototype which is determined to have a target uneven shape by an optical microscope or the like, and is observed by transfer formation. The concave and convex shape of the cross-sectional shape. Alternatively, it is also possible to produce a replica of a prototype as a standard, and to make an electroformed mold when the replica is produced. An optical sheet as a product is produced by transfer from a transfer mold for optical member manufacturing. In order to stably manufacture the optical member, the transfer mold for producing an optical member is formed by transferring at a transfer rate of preferably 90% or more, more preferably 95% or more, to form an inverted shape of the target uneven shape. If the transfer rate is low, and the cow is molded, there is a tendency that the unevenness of the product becomes large. Although it has not been a problem during the trial production phase, it is strongly expected that the unevenness of the product during mass production should be as small as possible. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the gist of the invention of 161653.doc 201235196. For example, the product of the optical sheet or the molding method of the prototype is not limited to extrusion molding, and may be other molding methods such as injection molding. The concavo-convex shape determined by the present invention is not limited to the one-dimensional lenticular lens of the optical sheet of Fig. 1. For example, the two-dimensional concavo-convex shape such as a microlens or a pyramidal prism can be determined by the present invention. Further, the optical sheet in which the uneven shape is determined by the present invention is not limited to the light guide plate and the light diffusing plate, and may be, for example, an optical film for other surface light source devices, Α(}(α^
