Abstract

An optical film and a display device having the same are disclosed. The display device comprises a display panel including a plurality of subpixels and an optical film disposed at one side of the display panel, the optical film includes a base film and a plurality of prisms, wherein a bias angle between a long axis direction of the subpixels and a longitudinal direction of the prisms is substantially 2 to 88 degrees.

Claims (34)

1. A display device, comprising:

a display panel including a plurality of subpixels; and

an optical film disposed at one side of the display panel, the optical film including:

a base film; and

a plurality of prisms,

wherein a bias angle between a long axis direction of the subpixels and a longitudinal direction of the prisms is substantially 2 to 88 degrees.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bias angle is substantially 2 to 40 degrees.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bias angle is substantially 50 to 88 degrees.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the peak heights of the prisms vary along the longitudinal direction of the prisms.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the peak heights of the prisms randomly vary along the longitudinal direction of the prisms.

6. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the peak heights of the prisms periodically vary along the longitudinal direction of the prisms.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the average difference of the peak heights of the prisms is substantially 1 μm to 20 μm.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the pitch between the peaks of the prisms is substantially 20 μm to 300 μm.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the average wavelength of the peaks of the prisms is substantially 100 μm to 500 μm.

10. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a protection layer disposed on one surface of the optical film,

wherein the protection layer comprises a plurality of beads and the diameters of the plurality of beads are substantially 1 μm to 10 μm.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the average horizontal amplitudes of the peaks of the prisms randomly vary.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the average amplitudes of the peaks of the prisms are substantially 1 μm to 20 μm.

13. An optical film, comprising:

a base film having a side edge; and

a plurality of prisms disposed on the base film,

wherein a bias angle between the side edge and a longitudinal direction of the prisms is substantially 2 to 88 degrees.

14. The optical film of claim 13 , wherein the bias angle is substantially 2 to 40 degrees.

15. The optical film of claim 13 , wherein the bias angle is substantially 50 to 88 degrees.

16. The optical film of claim 13 , wherein the peak heights of the prisms vary along the longitudinal direction of the prisms.

17. The optical film of claim 16 , wherein the peak heights of the prisms randomly vary along the longitudinal direction of the prisms.

18. The optical film of claim 16 , wherein the peak heights of the prisms periodically vary along the longitudinal direction of the prisms.

19. The optical film of claim 13 , wherein the average difference of the peak heights of the prisms is substantially 1 μm to 20 μm.

20. The optical film of claim 13 , wherein the pitch between the peaks of the prisms is substantially 20 μm to 300 μm.

21. The optical film of claim 13 , wherein the average wavelength of the peaks of the prisms is substantially 100 μm to 500 μm.

22. The optical film of claim 13 , further comprising a protection layer disposed on one surface of the optical film,

wherein the protection layer comprises a plurality of beads and the diameters of the plurality of beads are substantially 1 μm to 10 μm.

23. The optical film of claim 13 , wherein the average horizontal amplitudes of the peaks of the prisms randomly vary.

24. The optical film of claim 23 , wherein the average amplitudes of the peaks of the prisms are substantially 1 μm to 20 μm.
