Abstract

L'invention porte sur une bande d'étanchéité, laquelle bande peut empêcher une détérioration d'une couche de modulation de lumière par un film intermédiaire qui comprend un plastifiant, et laquelle peut également améliorer l'aptitude au travail pendant la production d'une structure de modulation de lumière. La bande d'étanchéité (10) comprend : un matériau de base en forme de bande (11) ; une section adhésive (12) formée par la disposition d'un adhésif sur les deux bords (11a) dans la direction longitudinale du matériau de base (11) ; une section exposée de matériau de base (11b) qui s'étend dans la direction longitudinale du matériau de base (11), et qui est une région entre les deux bords (11a) du matériau de base (11) située sur la surface sur laquelle est formée la section adhésive (12) ; et un matériau anti-adhérent (13) qui recouvre la section adhésive (12) sur les deux bords (11a) du matériau de base (11).
