第二の拡散部材は、上記LED基板側から順に、第1層と、第2層とをこの順で有する部材であって、上記第1層は、光透過性および光拡散性を有し、上記第2層は、上記第2層の上記第1層側の面に対する光の入射角の絶対値が小さくなるにつれて反射率が大きくなり、上記第2層の上記第1層側の面に対する光の入射角の絶対値が大きくなるにつれて透過率が大きくなる、部材である。本開示においては、上述した拡散部材を有することにより、更なる輝度の面内均一性を向上させつつ、薄型化を図ることが可能である。また、コストおよび消費電力の低減も可能である。
本開示における第1層は、後述の第2層の一方の面側に配置され、光透過性および光拡散性を有する部材である。第1層が有する光透過性としては、例えば、第1層の全光線透過率が50%以上であることが好ましく、中でも70%以上であることが好ましく、特に90%以上であることが好ましい。第1層の全光線透過率が上記範囲であることにより、本開示の面発光装置の輝度を高くすることができる。

なお、透明基材の全光線透過率は、例えば、JIS K7361-1:1997に準拠する方法により測定することができる。
反射構造体の第2態様は、透明基材と、透明基材の一方の面に配置され、光透過性を有するパターン状の凸部と、凸部の透明基材側の面とは反対の面側に配置されたパターン状の第1反射膜と、透明基材の一方の面の凸部の開口部に配置されたパターン状の第2反射膜とを有し、第1反射膜の開口部および第2反射膜の開口部が平面視上重ならないように位置し、第1反射膜および第2反射膜が厚み方向に離れて配置されているものである。本態様の反射構造体の場合、第二の拡散部材において、反射構造体の第1反射膜側の面側に第1層が配置される。
また、透明基材については、上記第1態様と同様とすることができる。
に光拡散性を付与することができる。
第2層が反射型回折格子である場合、反射型回折格子としては、上述した反射率および透過率の入射角依存性を有するものであれば特に限定されない。
第三の拡散部材としては、例えば、ポリスチレン(PS)、ポリカーボネート等の光透過性樹脂を有する樹脂板であり、内部に多数の空隙が存在するもの、または、表面に凹凸を有するものが挙げられ、一般に表示装置分野において汎用されているものを用いることができる。
本開示の面発光装置においては、例えば、拡散部材のLED基板側とは反対の面側に波長変換部材が配置されていてもよく、拡散部材のLED基板側に波長変換部材が配置されていてもよい。
波長変換部材は、例えば、波長変換層単体であってもよく、透明基材の一方の面側に波長変換層を有する積層体であってもよい。中でも、薄型化の点から、波長変換層単体が好ましい。より好ましくは、シート状の波長変換部材が用いられる。
本開示の面発光装置は、例えば、拡散部材のLED基板側の面とは反対の面側に光学部材がさらに配置されていてもよい。光学部材としては、例えば、プリズムシート、反射型偏光シート等が挙げられる。
本開示におけるプリズムシートは、入射した光を集光し、正面方向の輝度を集中的に向上させる機能を有する。プリズムシートは、例えば、透明樹脂基材の一方の面側に、アクリル樹脂等を含むプリズムパターンが配置されたものである。プリズムシートとしては、例えば、3M社製の輝度上昇フィルムBEFシリーズを用いることができる。
本開示における反射型偏光シートは、第1の直線偏光成分(例えば、P偏光)のみを透過し、かつ第1の直線偏光成分と直交する第2の直線偏光成分(例えば、S偏光)を吸収せずに反射する機能を有する。反射型偏光シートで反射された第2の直線偏光成分は再度反射され、偏光が解消された状態(第1の直線偏光成分と第2の直線偏光成分とを両方含んだ状態)で、再度、反射型偏光シートに入射する。よって、反射型偏光シートは再度入射する光のうち第1の直線偏光成分を透過し、第1の直線偏光成分と直交する第2の直線偏光成分は再度反射される。
本開示における面発光装置の用途は、特に限定されないが、表示装置に好適に使用することができる。また、照明装置等にも使用することができる。
