Abstract:
A light guide plate has a light conducting portion having a light input surface for introducing light into the light guide plate, a main light guiding body that is thinner than a maximum thickness of the light conducting portion, and disposed continuously from the light conducting portion, a slanted surface that is disposed on the light conducting portion on at least one of a surface near a light output surface and a surface opposite the surface near the light output surface, and that is inclined from a section of the light guide plate that is thicker than the main light guiding body toward an end of the main light guiding body, two cylindrical surfaces that cut into the slanted surface, and a groove formed by the two cylindrical surfaces.
Abstract:
A light guide plate has a light guide plate member having a light incident surface on an end face of the light guide member, and a light emitting surface on a front surface of the light guide plate member, wherein the light incident surface is structured to have light incident thereon, and wherein the light emitting surface is structured to widen and emit light incident thereon out of the light guide plate member, and a directivity changing unit arranged on a light incident end portion of the light guide plate member on the front surface or a back surface of the light guide plate member. The directivity changing unit has a first inner inclined surface and a second inner inclined surface that change a directivity of the incident light within the directivity changing unit to widen the light laterally with respect to a direction perpendicular to the light incident surface.

Abstract:
A light guide plate has a light introducing portion configured to confine light that is incident from an end surface, and a light guide-plate main body configured to emit incident light to an outside from a light emitting surface and provided continuously with the light introducing portion in a thickness smaller than a maximum thickness of the light introducing portion. The light introducing portion has an inclined surface inclined toward the light guide-plate main body from a surface comprising a larger thickness than a thickness of the light guide-plate main body, on at least one of a surface at a light emission side and a surface opposite to the surface at the light emission side. The inclined surface has a main-inclined surface configured to be positioned in front of a light source arranged opposite to the end surface.
Abstract:
A die structure has a first die, a second die that comes in contact with and separate from the first die, a heating unit provided in at least one of the first and second dies, and a transfer member provided in at least one of the first and second dies that brings a resin sheet supplied between the first and second dies into contact with a transfer surface and carrying out transfer molding, and a recess site formed on the transfer member near the transfer surface.

Abstract:
A light guide plate has a light introduction part having an end face configured to have light incident thereon, and a light guide plate body provided continuously to the light introduction part and comprising a thickness smaller than maximum thickness of the light introduction part. The light guide plate body has a light emitting surface configured to emit light incident from the end face. A directivity conversion pattern is provided on at least one of a face on a light exit side and a face opposite to the face. The directivity conversion pattern converts directivity spread in a thickness direction of the light introduction part to a directivity characteristic which is inclined in a direction parallel to a face direction of the light introduction part. A light reflection wall is provided on the end face.
Abstract:
An area light source device has a light guide plate having an end face and a light exit surface, a light source that is disposed in a position facing the end face of the light guide plate, a plurality of optical sheets that are disposed on the light guide plate, a light shielding plate that is disposed so as to cover an upper portion of the light source, and a light blocking member that is provided between the end face of the light guide plate and the light exit surface. The end face of the light guide plate is configured to have light introduced therethrough. The light exit surface of the light guide plate is configured to output the light from the light guide plate. The light blocking member is different from the light shielding plate.
