OPTICAL SHEET AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a sheet-like transparent substrate made of a transparent material;
a microscopic structure layer formed on a surface of the transparent substrate, the microscopic structure layer having an array of microscopic structures to emit light; and
a liquid crystal panel formed above the microscopic structure layer, the liquid crystal panel having defined therein a plurality of pixels to display an image,wherein at least a portion of the microscopic structures has parallel and non-parallel arrangements repeated one or more times in a longitudinal direction thereof with respect to one side-edge of the pixels of the liquid crystal panel.

Abstract
An optical sheet and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) incorporating the same. The LCD includes a sheet-like transparent substrate made of a transparent material and a microscopic structure layer formed on one surface of the transparent substrate. The microscopic structure layer has an array of microscopic structures to emit light. A liquid crystal panel is formed above the microscopic structure layer, and has defined therein a plurality of pixels to display an image. When seen from above the transparent substrate, at least a portion of the microscopic structures has parallel and non-parallel arrangements repeated one or more times in a longitudinal direction thereof with respect to one side-edge of the pixels of the liquid crystal panel.
