Abstract

Provided are a lenticular lens sheet capable of simultaneously achieving an improvement in visibility due to improving bonding accuracy, and low cost due to shape stabilization during processing the lens, a display apparatus and an electronic equipment including the same. The lenticular lens sheet includes a plurality of cylindrical lenses which extend in a direction parallel to each other; and an alignment mark which has two cylindrical lenses among the plurality of cylindrical lenses, a flat part disposed between the two cylindrical lenses, and a structure which is disposed on the flat part and extends between the two cylindrical lenses.

Claims (28)

1. A lenticular lens sheet, comprising:

a plurality of cylindrical lenses which extend in a direction parallel to each other; and

an alignment mark which has two cylindrical lenses among the plurality of cylindrical lenses, a flat part disposed between the two cylindrical lenses, and a structure which is disposed on the flat part and extends between the two cylindrical lenses.

2. The lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the structure is any one of a cylindrical lens, a hexahedron, and a prism.

3. The lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the structure intersects the flat part in two straight lines, and the two straight lines are parallel to each other.

4. The lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the flat part extends in the extending direction of the cylindrical lenses.

5. The lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the flat part is present only near the structure.

6. The lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

one alignment mark is provided on the same flat part.

7. The lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the extending direction of the cylindrical lenses is inclined with respect to sides forming an external form of the lenticular lens sheet.

8. The lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the cylindrical lenses have a lower surface formed in a flat surface and an upper surface formed in a convex surface, and the structure has a lower height than a height of the cylindrical lenses based on the lower surface.

9. The lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

two or more alignment marks are provided on the lenticular lens sheet.

10. The lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the cylindrical lenses are provided on a glass substrate.

11. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display panel; and

the lenticular lens sheet according to claim 1 , which is attached to the display panel.

12. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising

a protection film which is attached to an upper surface of the lenticular lens sheet.

13. An electronic equipment, comprising:

the display apparatus according to claim 11 .
