Abstract

A prism lens film deflecting and outputting light is provided and includes a plurality of lens parts forming an irregular pattern on the light-output side surface, the irregular pattern deflecting the light. One aspect of the prism lens film includes reflecting parts provided between the lens parts for reflecting the introduced light. In another aspect of the prism lens film, a plurality of lens parts has trapezoidal shapes in a sectional view, first concave curved surfaces are formed between the lens parts, and second concave curved surfaces are formed on the upper surfaces of the lens parts.

Claims (35)

1 . A prism lens film deflecting and outputting light introduced thereto, which comprises:

a plurality lens parts comprising an irregular pattern on a light-output side of the prism lens film, the irregular pattern deflecting the light; and

a reflecting parts between the lens parts, the reflecting parts reflecting the light.

2 . The prism lens film according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lens parts are linear parts arranged in parallel with a planar direction in a surface of the light-output side.

3 . The prism lens film according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lens parts is two-dimensionally arranged in parallel with a planar direction in a surface of the light-output side.

4 . The prism lens film according to claim 1 , wherein the lens parts are disposed at equal intervals.

5 . The prism lens film according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the lens parts are disposed at different intervals.

6 . A prism lens film comprising a plurality of films superposed, the films including at least one prism film according to claim 1 .

7 . A prism lens film deflecting and outputting light introduced thereto, which comprises:

a plurality of lens parts comprising an irregular pattern on a light-output side of the prism lens film, the irregular pattern deflecting the light, the plurality of lens parts linearly extending along a planar direction in a surface of the light-output side; and

a first concave curved surface between the lens parts,

wherein each of the lens parts has a trapezoidal shape in a sectional view and has a second concave curved surface on an upper surface thereof.

8 . The prism lens film according to claim 7 , wherein at least a part of the lens parts are disposed at different intervals.

9 . The prism lens film according to claim 7 , wherein when a coordinate in a thickness direction in a sectional view of the prism lens film is set as a y-axis and a coordinate in a planner direction of the prism lens film is set as an x coordinate, the first concave curved surface is formed along a quadratic curve represented by formula:

y=ax 2 +bx+c

wherein a, b and c each independently is a constant value.

10 . A prism lens film comprising two prism lens films each according to claim 7 , the two prism lens films being superposed so that the lens parts in one of the two prism lens films intersect at right angles to the lens parts in the other of the two prism lens films.

11 . A prism lens film deflecting and outputting light introduced thereto, which comprises:

a plurality of lens parts comprising an irregular pattern on a light-output side of the prism lens film, the irregular pattern deflecting the light, the plurality of lens prism films being two-dimensionally arranged along a planar direction in a surface of the light-output side; and

a first concave curved surface between the lens parts,

wherein each of the lens parts has a trapezoidal shape in a sectional view and has a second concave curves surface on an upper surface thereof.

12 . The prism lens film according to claim 11 , wherein at least a part of the lens parts are disposed at different intervals.

13 . The prism lens film according to claim 11 , wherein when a coordinate in a thickness direction in a sectional view of the prism lens film is set as a y-axis and a coordinate in a planner direction of the prism lens film is set as an x coordinate, the first concave curved surface is formed along a quadratic curve represented by formula:

y=ax 2 +bx+c

wherein a, b and c each independently is a constant value.

14 . A prism lens film comprising a plurality of films superposed, the films including to at least one prism lens film according to claims 11 .

15 . A flat light emitting device comprising:

a prism lens film according to claim 1; and

a light source on a light-incident side of the prism lens film.

16 . A flat light emitting device comprising:

a prism lens film according to claim 7; and

a light source on a light-incident side of the prism lens film.

17 . A flat light emitting device comprising:

a prism lens film according to claim 11; and

a light source on a light-incident side of the prism lens film.
