Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un élément optique qui est agencé pour être utilisé sur le côté regardé d'un dispositif d'affichage, avec la surface du côté regardé de l'élément optique qui est traité anti-reflet afin de former des aspérités microscopiques comprenant une région formée selon un angle d'inclinaison supérieur à 30 degrés sur la surface du côté regardé. En supposant que la surface du côté regardé de l'élément optique soit un plan, l'aire de projection qui est obtenue en projetant la région formée selon un angle d'inclinaison supérieur à 30 degrés sur le plan, est de préférence égal ou supérieur à 60 % par rapport à l'aire totale du plan. En outre, le rapport de l'aire obtenue en projetant une région formée selon un angle d'inclinaison supérieur à 45 degrés sur le plan est, de préférence encore, égal ou supérieur à 50 %.
