Optical sheet, optical member, surface light source device, and liquid crystal display device

摘要

An optical sheet including a body portion, unit optical elements arranged on one surface of the body portion, and an uneven coating having an uneven surface with micro-protrusions, provided on the other surface of the body portion. When the hardness He of the optical element surface Pe and the hardness Hm of the uneven coating surface Pm are evaluated in terms of the pencil hardness measured in accordance with JIS K5600-5-4 (1999) (load: 1000 g; speed: 1 mm/s), the hardness Hm is not less than the hardness He (hardness Hm≧hardness He) and the hardness Hm is preferably not less than F. Further, the hardness He and the hardness Hm preferably satisfy the following relation:
hardness He+3≧hardness Hm≧hardness He+2wherein the expression “He+1” indicates a hardness harder than He by one unit on the pencil hardness scale.

1. An optical sheet comprising:
a sheet-like body portion; and unit optical elements arranged on one surface of the body portion; wherein the optical sheet has a pair of opposite surfaces; wherein one of the pair of surfaces is configured as an optical element surface formed by the unit optical elements; wherein the optical element surface has a hardness He, and a back surface, defined by the other of the pair of surfaces, has a hardness Hm, which is not less than the hardness He, and wherein the hardness He and the hardness Hm are evaluated in terms of the pencil hardness measured in accordance with JIS K5600-5-4(1999), with a load of 1000 g and at a speed of 1 mm/s; wherein at least the optical element surface and the back surface are cured material of an ionizing radiation curable polymer; and wherein the hardness He and the hardness Hm satisfy the following relation:
hardness He +3 ≧hardness Hm ≧hardness He +2, wherein the expression “+1” indicates a hardness that is harder by one unit on the pencil hardness scale.
