Abstract

A reflection plate is formed so as to have a wavy surface, and to have uneven distribution of normal line directions of the surface in terms of a specific azimuth angle. The wavy surface is formed due to line-shaped protruding patterns and an insulation film layer. The protruding patterns intersect with one another to form concave portions each having a shape of a closed figure. The protruding patterns are formed by patterning such that they have almost uniform thickness.

Claims (6)

1. A mask for forming a reflection plate for a liquid crystal display, the mask comprising plural line-shaped protrusion forming portions, said line-shaped protrusion forming portions meeting at intersections to define closed concave forming portions, each of said line-shaped protrusion forming portions having a uniform width except at said intersections where said line-shaped protrusion forming portions are narrower than said uniform width.

2. The mask of claim 1 , wherein said closed concave forming portions are polygons.

3. The mask of claim 1 , wherein a combined height of said line-shaped protrusion forming portions at said intersections is the same as a height of one of said line-shaped protrusion forming portions.

4. A mask for forming a reflection plate for a liquid crystal display, the mask comprising plural line-shaped protrusion forming portions, said line-shaped protrusion forming portions meeting at intersections to define closed concave forming portions, each of said line-shaped protrusion forming portions having a width at said intersections that is less than the width of said line-shaped protrusion forming portions between said intersections.

5. The mask of claim 4 , wherein said closed concave, portions are polygons.

6. The mask of claim 4 , wherein a combined height of said line-shaped protruding portions at said intersections is the same as a height of one of said line-shaped protruding portions.
