Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide an antireflective film having an anti-reflection function with which reflection of external light which is incident on the antireflective film can be further reduced and a high-visibility display device having such an antireflective film. The tops of the plurality of pyramidal projections are evenly spaced and each side of the base of a pyramidal projection is in contact with one side of the base of an adjacent pyramidal projection. That is, one pyramidal projection is surrounded by other pyramidal projections, and the base of the pyramidal projection and the base of the adjacent pyramidal projection have a side in common.

Claims (21)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a pair of substrates, at least one of which is a light-transmitting substrate;

a light-emitting element provided between the pair of substrates; and

a plurality of pyramidal projections on an outer side of the light-transmitting substrate,

wherein tops of the plurality of pyramidal projections are evenly spaced,

wherein each side of the base of one pyramidal projection is in contact with one side of the base of an adjacent pyramidal projection, and

wherein a refractive index of each of the plurality of pyramidal projections increases from the top to the base thereof.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein six adjacent pyramidal projections are arranged around one pyramidal projection.

3. A light-emitting device comprising:

a pair of substrates, at least one of which is a light-transmitting substrate;

a light-emitting element provided between the pair of substrates; and

a plurality of pyramidal projections on an outer side of the light-transmitting substrate,

wherein tops of the plurality of pyramidal projections are evenly spaced,

wherein each side of the base of one pyramidal projection is in contact with one side of the base of an adjacent pyramidal projection,

wherein the distance between the tops of the plurality of pyramidal projections is equal to or shorter than 350 nm and the height of each of the plurality of pyramidal projections is equal to or longer than 800 nm, and

wherein a refractive index of each of the plurality of pyramidal projections increases from the top to the base thereof.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 3 , wherein six adjacent pyramidal projections are arranged around one pyramidal projection.

5. The light-emitting device according to claim 3 , wherein the fill rate of bases of the plurality of pyramidal projections per unit area is equal to or more than 80%.

6. The light-emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein the fill rate of bases of the plurality of pyramidal projections per unit area is equal to or more than 80%.

7. The light-emitting device according to claim 4 , wherein the ratio of the height of a pyramidal projection to the width of a base there of is equal to or more than 5.

8. The light-emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein the ratio of the height of a pyramidal projection to the width of a base there of is equal to or more than 5.
