    摘要: An optical sheet includes: a transparent substrate sheet; and a sticking preventive portion provided on the back face of the transparent substrate sheet. The sticking preventive portion includes a plurality of printed dots. The average diameter of the printed dots is preferably no less than 1 μm and no greater than 200 μm. The ratio of the average height to the average diameter of the printed dots is preferably no less than 1/100 and no greater than 1. The printed dot preferably has a hemisphere-like shape having a height less than a diameter. The arrangement density of the printed dots on the back face of the substrate sheet is preferably no less than 10 dots/mm2 and no greater than 2,500 dots/mm2. A principal component of the printed dots is preferably is preferably an acrylic resin, a urethane resin or an acrylic urethane resin.

    摘要: An optical sheet for a backlight unit for guiding toward a front face side rays of light emitted by an LED light source. The optical sheet includes one or more resin layers. Ultrafine grooves oriented in specific directions are provided on a front face side or a back face side of at least one resin layer of the one or more resin layers. An average number of the ultrafine grooves per unit length in a direction perpendicular to an average orientation of the ultrafine grooves is preferably no less than 10/mm and no greater than 10,000/mm. A face of the at least one resin layer provided with the ultrafine grooves preferably has an arithmetic average roughness (Ra) in a direction perpendicular to an orientation of the ultrafine grooves being no less than 0.01 μm and no greater than 5 μm. Ultrafine grooves preferably constitute a diffraction grating.

    摘要: Provided is a prism sheet for a backlight unit capable of attaining desired luminance in the front direction, and securing a sufficient viewing angle in the direction perpendicular to the orientation direction of the prism array. The prism sheet comprises one or more resin layers, an outermost resin layer of the one or more resin layers comprising a prism array, wherein on a surface of at least one of the one or more resin layers, micro linear grooves are formed to be parallel to, or to intersect at an acute angle with, an orientation direction of the prism array. An average number of existing micro linear grooves per unit length in a direction perpendicular to an average orientation direction of the micro linear grooves is preferably no less than 30/mm and no greater than 10,000/mm. The micro linear grooves are preferably irregular in length, width or pitch.
