1. An optical body comprising:
- a first optical layer;
a second optical layer having an incident surface on which light is incident; and
a reflecting layer sandwiched between the first and second optical layers,wherein the first optical layer includes a plurality of convex or concave structures formed on or in a surface thereof on which the reflecting layer is disposed,ridges of the convex structures or ridges between the concave structures adjacent to each other have tip portions projecting toward the incident surface side,the tip portions are deformed from an ideal shape,the second optical layer is transparent and has a refractive index of 1.1 or more and 1.9 or less, andthe optical body selectively directionally reflects part of light entering the incident surface at an incident angle (θ
, φ
) (where θ
is an angle formed by a line perpendicular to the incident surface and incident light entering the incident surface or light reflected by the incident surface, and φ
is an angle formed between a specific linear line in the incident surface and a component obtained by projecting the incident light or the reflected light to the incident surface), which part is in a specific wavelength band, in direction other than (−

Abstract
An optical body includes a first optical layer, a second optical layer having an incident surface on which light is incident, and a reflecting layer sandwiched between the first and second optical layers, wherein the first optical layer includes a plurality of convex or concave structures formed on or in a surface thereof on which the reflecting layer is disposed, ridges of the convex structures or ridges between the concave structures adjacent to each other have tip portions projecting toward the incident surface side, the tip portions are deformed from an ideal shape, the second optical layer is transparent and has a refractive index of 1.1 or more and 1.9 or less, and the optical body selectively directionally reflects part of light entering the incident surface, which part is in a specific wavelength band, in direction other than the specular reflection direction.

19. An optical body manufacturing method comprising:
-
transferring a concave-convex shape of a mold or a die to a first resin material, thereby forming a first optical layer which includes a plurality of convex or concave structures formed on or in one principal surface thereof; forming a reflecting layer on the concave-convex surface that has been transferred to the first optical layer; and embedding the reflecting layer with a second resin material, thereby forming a second optical layer having an incident surface on which light is incident, the second optical layer being transparent and having a refractive index of 1.1 or more and 1.9 or less, wherein ridges of the convex structures or ridges between the concave structures adjacent to each other have tip portions projecting toward the incident surface side, the tip portions are deformed from an ideal shape, and the optical body selectively directionally reflects part of light entering the incident surface at an incident angle (θ

is an angle formed by a line perpendicular to the incident surface and incident light entering the incident surface or light reflected by the incident surface, and φ
