Abstract

Disclosed is an optical sheet and an LCD device comprising the optical sheet. The optical sheet comprises a base film; and a prism part disposed on one surface of the base film, and comprising a plurality of peaks and a plurality of valleys; wherein the prism part comprises a plurality of diffusion particles, and the prism part is arranged along a longitudinal direction and a height of each peak varies as the peak goes along the longitudinal direction.

Claims (61)

1 . An optical sheet comprising:

a base film; and

a prism part disposed on one surface of the base film, and comprising a plurality of peaks and a plurality of valleys;

wherein the prism part comprises a plurality of diffusion particles,

and the prism part is arranged along a longitudinal direction and a height of each peak varies as the peak goes along the longitudinal direction.

2 . The optical sheet of claim 1 , further comprising;

a protecting layer disposed on the other surface of the base film, the protecting layer comprises a second resin and a plurality of beads.

3 . The optical sheet of claim 2 ,

wherein a diameter of bead is substantially 2 μm to 10 μm.

4 . The optical sheet of claim 1 ,

wherein a height of each peak varies randomly or periodically.

5 . The optical sheet of claim 1 ,

wherein the prism part comprises a first resin,

and about 1 to 10 parts by weight of the diffusion particles based on 100 parts by weight of the first resin.

6 . The optical sheet of claim 1 ,

wherein the prism part comprises a first resin,

a difference between a refractive index of the diffusion particle and a refractive index of the first resin lies substantially in a range between 0.01 and 0.5.

7 . The optical sheet of claim 1 ,

the peaks and valleys are arranged in a zigzag manner along a longitudinal direction on the prism part.

8 . An optical sheet comprising:

a base film; and

a prism part disposed on one surface of the base film, and comprising plurality of peaks and a plurality of valleys,

wherein the prism part comprises a plurality of diffusion particles,

and the prism part is arranged along a longitudinal direction and the peaks and valleys are arranged in a zigzag manner.

9 . The optical sheet of claim 8 , further comprising:

a protecting layer disposed on the other surface of the base film, the protecting layer comprises a second resin and a plurality of beads.

10 . The optical sheet of claim 9 ,

wherein a diameter of bead is substantially 2 μm to 10 μm.

11 . The optical sheet of claim 8 ,

wherein the peaks and the valleys vary randomly or periodically in a zigzag manner.

12 . The optical sheet of claim 8 ,

wherein the prism part comprises a first resin,

and about 1 to 10 parts by weight of the diffusion particles based on 100 parts by weight of the resin.

13 . The optical sheet of claim 8 ,

wherein the prism part comprises a first resin,

a difference between a refractive index of the diffusion particles and a refractive index of the resin lies substantially in a range between 0.01 and 0.5.

14 . An optical sheet comprising:

a base film; and

a prism part disposed on one surface of the base film, and comprising a first resin and a plurality of diffusion particles,

a difference between a refractive index of the diffusion particle and a refractive index of the first resin lies substantially in a range between 0.01 and 0.5.

15 . The optical sheet of claim 14 ,

wherein the diffusion particles are beads

16 . The optical sheet of claim 14 ,

wherein the prism part comprises a first resin, and about 1 to 10 parts by weight of the diffusion particles based on 100 parts by weight of the first resin.

17 . The optical sheet of claim 14 ,

wherein the diffusion particles are made of at least one selected from the group consisting of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene, and silicon.

18 . The optical sheet of claim 14 ,

wherein the prism part comprises a plurality of peaks and a plurality of valleys,

and a height of each peak varies randomly along a longitudinal direction on the prism part.

19 . The optical sheet of claim 14 , further comprising:

a protecting layer disposed on the other surface of the base film, the protecting layer comprises a second resin and a plurality of beads.

20 . The optical sheet of claim 19 ,

wherein the prism part comprises a second resin, and about 10 to 50 parts by weight of the beads based on 100 parts by weight of the second resin.

21 . A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a light source;

an optical sheet disposed on the light source; and

a liquid crystal display panel disposed on the optical sheet,

wherein the optical sheet comprises,

a base film; and

a prism part disposed on one surface of the base film, and comprising a resin and a plurality of diffusion particles,

a difference between a refractive index of the diffusion particles and a refractive index of the first resin lies substantially in a range between 0.01 and 0.5.
