Abstract
Disclosed is a condensing type optical sheet for use in a liquid crystal display, which prevents the generation of a yellow band or a rainbow phenomenon without using a protective sheet.
Claims17
A condensing type optical sheet, comprising:
- a substrate layer, and a structural layer formed on one surface or both surfaces of the substrate layer and having an array of a plurality of three-dimensional structures,
- wherein each of the three-dimensional structures of the structural layer includes a pair of a first slope portion and a second slope portion, each slope portion extending in opposite directions from one peak point where the first slope portion and the second slope portion meet, in which the slope portions are streamlined when viewed in longitudinal cross-section,
- wherein the first and the second slope portions are asymmetrical to the peak point and the first slope portion comprises a part of a circumference of a first imaginary circle and the second slope portion comprises a part of a circumference of a second imaginary circle, the first imaginary circle and the second imaginary circle overlapping each other, and
- wherein the three-dimensional structures of the structural layer have a width corresponding to 1/10-1 of a maximum length between the circumferences at the overlapping region of the first imaginary circle and the second imaginary circle as viewed in a direction perpendicular to an imaginary line connecting two intersections of the first imaginary circle and the second imaginary circle.
