A light pipe has an upper surface, a lower surface, side surfaces between the upper and lower surfaces, and light output means. At lease two of the side surfaces constitute incidence side surfaces each extending in left-right and front-rear directions of the light pipe. The light output means is formed in one of the upper and lower surfaces so that incident light to the one of the upper and lower surfaces from each of the incidence side surfaces is made to go out from the other one of the upper and lower surfaces by the light output means. The light output means comprises a repetitive structure of prismatic structures having ridgelines extending along each of the incidence side surfaces respectively. There is further provided a plane light source unit in which light sources are provided on the incidence side surfaces, respectively, of the light pipe, and there is still further provided a reflection type or transmission type liquid-crystal display device in which a liquid-crystal cell is disposed on the lower or upper surface side of the light pipe of the plane light source unit.

There is provided a polarizer constituted by a polarizing element, and at least one transparent protective film constituted by two layers of retardation films with an in-plane retardation in a range of from 190 to 320 nm with respect to light having a wavelength of 550 nm. The transparent protective film is bonded onto one of opposite surfaces of the polarizing element so that a fast axis of each of the retardation films is parallel with an absorption axis of the polarizing element. The two layers of retardation films are constituted by a combination of a retardation film with Nz of from 0.05 to 0.2 and a retardation film with Nz of from 0.3 to 0.45 in the condition of nx>ny and Nz=(nx−nz)/(nx−ny) in which nx and ny are in-plane refractive indices of the retardation films respectively, and nz is a refractive index in a direction of thickness of each of the retardation films.
摘要:
A reflection type liquid-crystal display which is excellent in contrast when viewed with or without illumination and also in display brightness and in which displayed images viewed through a light conductive plate are less apt to be disturbed, i.e., excellent in clearness, and are less apt to have a decrease in perceptibility caused by moire phenomenon; and to develop a light conductive plate and a surface light source device with each of which the liquid-crystal display can be fabricated. A light conductive plate having, formed on the upper surface (11) thereof, a light-emitting means which serves to deflect incident light from an incidence-side edge (13) of the plate to emit the light through the lower surface (12) of the plate and further having, at least on the lower surface thereof, an antireflection layer (2) which enables incident light from the lower surface of the plate to pass through the upper surface of the plate; a surface light source device comprising the light conductive plate described above and a light source disposed by the incidence-side edge thereof; and a reflection type liquid-crystal display comprising the surface light source device described above and, disposed on the lower side thereof, a liquid-crystal cell having a reflecting layer. The antireflection layer disposed on the lower surface inhibits the upper surface from emitting the leakage light which is superposed on displayed images to cause white blurring and a decrease in contrast, whereby satisfactory perceptibility is attained regardless of whether the display is in an illuminated or unilluminated state.
摘要:
A process for producing a polymer or a crosslinked article having a region in which the polymerization rate or crosslinking rate is varied is disclosed, comprising irradiating a photopolymerizable substance or photo-crosslinkable substance with laser light having an uneven distribution of intensity. The process is suitable for mass production of polymerization rate- or crosslinking rate-distributed articles. An arbitrary distribution pattern can be designed and formed under good control, and distribution regions having a fine shape can be formed with excellent precision. A plurality of distribution regions having a regular shape can be formed at a high density with high precision.
