Title:
OPTICAL SHEET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/147741
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides an optical sheet (30), which can make printed dots (38) formed on the back surface thereof difficult to see from the front surface side, and a surface light source device (20) and transmissive image-display device (1) provided with the same. The optical sheet, which is formed from a light-transmissive resin, is provided with side surfaces (33) to which light from a light source (22) is incident, a light output surface that is formed in a direction orthogonal to the side surfaces and outputs light in a planar shape, a back surface on the opposite side from the light output surface, dots printed on that back surface and printed by inkjet printing so as to reflect light incident from the side surfaces toward the light output surface side, and a plurality of protruding shaped parts formed on the light output surface, capable of outputting light incident from the side surfaces, and disposed so as to extend in one direction and be lined up in a direction orthogonal to that one direction. The protruding shaped parts are constituted so as to satisfy equation (1). H × T/P ≥ 0.37 ... (1). Here, P is the interval (µm) between adjacent protruding shaped parts; H is the height (µm) of the protruding shaped parts; and T is the thickness (mm) of the sheet.
