• the prism shape was given by a mold with a pitch of 200 ⁇ m and a depth of 8 ⁇ m.
• the molding machine used was Sodick TR100EH manufactured by Sodick Plastics, and injection molding was performed under conditions of a mold temperature of 125 ° C and a cylinder temperature of 290 ° C to 320 ° C.
• the light guide plate is disposed so that the concave / convex pattern forming surface is on the lower surface side, and a cold cathode tube is disposed at the thick end portion, thereby providing an edge type backlight type surface light source body.
• a luminance meter (“Topcon BM-7” manufactured by Topcon) was installed at a position 30 cm above the surface on which the concave / convex pattern was not formed, and the luminance and color temperature were measured. The average brightness was obtained by averaging the measured values at 9 locations, 3 levels wide and 3 levels long.
• the luminance uniformity was calculated by the equation (minimum luminance value Z maximum luminance value) X 100 (%).
• the color temperature is a numerical value representing the relative intensity of blue and red, defined as "temperature of a black body when a perfect black body emits light of the same color as that light". The higher the value, the stronger the blue color. When used for applications such as displays, the higher the color temperature, the better the power display visibility, so the light guide plate is required to have a higher color temperature.
• the cylinder temperature when a predetermined transfer property (prism depth: 8 m) is obtained is shown.
• the preferred cylinder temperature is 3 10 ° C or lower, more preferably 300 ° C or lower.
• the light guide plate is molded under conditions of constant molding temperature (cylinder temperature: 310 ° C) to evaluate transferability. I was worth it.
• the surface of the concavo-convex pattern was observed with a scanning confocal laser microscope (SHIMADZU / OL YMPUS “OLS1100”), and the depth of the surface prism was measured.
