If a known liquid crystal display device (in other words, “liquid crystal display panel”) is placed outside the prism sheet 4 outside the liquid crystal display, The spray is configured.
- the thickness of the light scattering light guide 1 decreases as the distance from the light entrance surface 2 increases, the light extraction surface in the light scattering light guide 1 is reduced. Repeated reflections occur between 5 and the inclined rear surface 6. As a result, uniform and high brightness can be obtained.
- the light introduced into the light-scattering light guide 1 from Motoko Atsushi L is directed to the relatively thin «surface 7, while undergoing the scattering action and the reflecting action.
- the light is guided. In the process, light emission from the light extraction surface 5 gradually occurs.
- the light is extracted according to the particle diameter of the diffractive refractive index particles dispersed in the light scattering light guide 1 (generally, the inhomogeneous refractive index structure having a nonuniform refractive index structure).
- the light emitted from the surface 5 is given directionality and is collimated. In other words, the illuminating light extracted from the light extraction surface 5 has a tendency to preferentially propagate in a specific direction.

The larger the illuminated surface, the less dispersive it is given in order to ensure even brightness. Therefore, an equivalent amount of reflected light from the reflector 3 that is distributed along the back surface of the light-scattering light-guiding body 1 receives sufficient diffusion. Immediately into the observer's eyes.
- the specular reflection sheet such as silver foil or aluminum foil adopted as the projectile 3 gives the spectator a special reflection surface.
- This visual sensation is accompanied by so-called “insufficient whiteness J” and “insufficient softness” (immediately, "glare feeling”).

- the light scattering guide 1 is excessively provided with the scattering ability, the transmission of light from the light entrance surface 2 to a portion far from the light entrance surface 2 is hindered, and the bright surface is illuminated. Degradation may occur.
- the particle size of the anisotropic refractive index particles depends on the magnitude of the forward scattering of the individual scattering processes inside the light scattering light guide 1. It is a factor. In general, the larger the particle size, the stronger the forward scattering. Therefore, if the particle size is relatively large, the luminous flux emitted from the light extraction surface 5 has a clear directivity.

(In other words, the direction of the sight of the luminometer). Brightness is expressed in cd (candela) m-units.

Also, the angle 0 'is based on the perpendicular g that stands on the ff light plane, and the left side when viewed from the light incidence plane 2ffl. Incline (0 '> 0 degrees) or right «I
- the presence of the prism sheet 8 allows the light scattering / guiding member 1 to be positive in the longitudinal section.
- the brightness in the surface direction is improved by about 10%, and the light emission in the direction inclined at ⁇ 30 degrees or more is suppressed.
- the presence of the prism sheet 8 causes the light scattering light guide 1 to be within the cross section of the light scattering light guide 1.

- a part of the light is reflected on the flat surface of the prism sheet 8 (in some cases, totally reflected), and the rest is reflected on the surface of the silver foil 3. . They pass through almost the same route, and a corresponding part of them escapes from the slope 8b on one side of the prism surface to the air S.
- the route C2 during this period is substantially different from the case where the breath sheet 8 does not exist.
- the existence of the rhythm sheet 8 means that the area having a higher refractive index than the surrounding air layer is the longitudinal section of the light scattering light guide 1. It is meant to be distributed along the direction. Therefore, the prism sheet 8 is kept away from the light source element L while closing the light Hj from the back surface 6 of the light scattering light guide 1. It has a function to guide light in all directions.
- the light confined in the brightness sheet 8 repeatedly reflects inside the light, so that the light travels in various directions as a whole. It has the effect of diverging.

- the prism sheet 8 diverges the path of the light that has escaped from the joy face 6 in various ways while performing a smooth conduction operation. (Refer to the branches of C1 and C2). Therefore, while maintaining the brightness of the illuminating light beam, the surface of the silver foil 3 is prevented from being directly reflected on the visual sense, and the connection is prevented. As a result, the observer feels “whiteness”.
- the light source element L is extinguished in a state where the prism sheet 8 is removed from the arrangement of FIG. 4, and the prism sheet 4 and the light scattering guide are turned off.
- the silver foil 3 is observed through the light body 1, the appearance of the silver foil 3 is reflected as it is, and a color far from white (dark silver) is directly reflected. It is observed in.
