Abstract:
A light-guide sheet according to the present disclosure is a light-guide sheet that takes in incident light and waveguides light in a direction intersecting with an incident direction of the incident light inside the light-guide sheet. The light-guide sheet includes: a lower refractive index layer; a light-transmissive layer that is continuously stacked with the lower refractive index layer and has a refractive index that is higher than a refractive index of the lower refractive index layer; and a diffraction grating that is disposed on the light-transmissive layer and changes a travelling direction of the incident light. A pattern of the diffraction grating is divided into a plurality of partial patterns on the light-transmissive layer, and each of the plurality of partial patterns has a concentric circular shape or a concentric polygonal shape.
