The adhesive layer may be provided by applying an adhesive to the substrate side of the sheet laminate.
When a projection image is projected, the sheet laminate of the present embodiment can be used for either of a reflection type and a transmission type. In the case of the transmissive type, the substrate is not particularly limited as long as the optical characteristics are not impaired.
The sheet laminate of the present embodiment can be formed into a sheet laminate excellent in flame retardancy by adding an appropriate amount of a flame retardant such as antimony trioxide, antimony pentoxide, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, melamine cyanurate, BestBoron, or Soufa to a light-scattering-body-forming composition and using flame-retardant vinyl chloride, a flame-retardant polyethylene terephthalate (ポリエチテンレテフタレート) film, a polyphenylene sulfide film, an aromatic polyamide film, or a flame-retardant polycarbonate film as a base material.
The sheet laminate of the present embodiment can be produced, for example, by a method including the steps of: coating a composition for forming a light scattering body, which contains a composition for a resin, a hollow particle precursor, and light scattering particles, on a base material; and a step of drying or curing the coating film.

< projection Screen >
The projection screen of the present embodiment includes the light scattering body of the present embodiment or the sheet laminate of the present embodiment. The projection screen of the present embodiment may be a transmission type screen capable of recognizing an image from the side of transmitting to the light source, or may be a reflection type screen capable of recognizing an image from the side of reflecting to the light source.
The projection screen of the present embodiment may be configured by a light scattering body or a sheet laminate alone, but preferably has a function of fixing the light scattering body or the sheet laminate in space when an image is projected by a projection source.
Specifically, a fixing member may be attached to the entire upper portion or a part of the sheet-like stacked body. In order to prevent image blurring or distortion, the fixing function is preferably capable of maintaining the sheet laminate in a flat state without bending.
The projection screen of the present embodiment preferably includes a storage means capable of storing the sheet laminate in a roll shape. The storage means may be a take-up type storage device. In this case, the image projection unit of the sheet laminate can be protected when the projection screen is not used, and storage, portability, transportability, and the like can be improved.
The projection screen of the present embodiment may have a weight in a lower portion of the sheet laminate in order to suppress the projection surface from being curved or deformed by wind, vibration, or the like. By applying a force of 1kg to 500kg as a weight, the flatness of the image projection surface is easily maintained, and distortion of the projected image is eliminated.
The projection screen of the present embodiment may be a projection screen in which a light scattering body or a sheet-like laminated body is provided on a substrate having a curved surface. In this case, the light scattering body or the sheet-like laminate may be bonded or adhered to the curved base material, or the light scattering body may be formed by directly applying the above-mentioned composition for forming a light scattering body to the surface of the curved base material.
In this case, a transmission type curved transparent screen or a reflection type curved transparent screen suitable for a curved image, projection of a stereoscopic image, and projection onto a stereoscopic curved surface can be configured.
The light scattering body or the sheet laminate of the present embodiment can be used as a light diffusion sheet capable of reducing the directivity of light.
Further, the light scattering body or the sheet-like laminated body of the present embodiment can be used as a composite light diffusion sheet for further amplifying the light scattering effect by forming it on another light diffusion sheet. For example, when an LED (light emitting diode) or an LD (laser diode) is used as a light source for illumination, the use of the composite light scattering sheet can effectively scatter light, increase the scattering angle to an angle suitable for use, and uniformly scatter illumination light indoors or outdoors.
A light intensifier for illumination can be constituted using the light scattering body or the sheet laminate of the present embodiment. By using a light scattering body or a sheet-like laminate as a light intensifier for illumination, light scattering can be efficiently performed with an extremely simple configuration.
The sheet laminate or the projection screen of the present embodiment may be used for a vehicle member. For example, a sheet laminate or a projection screen may be bonded to the surfaces of the side window and the rear window to provide a function of displaying an image on the side window and the rear window.
The sheet laminate or the projection screen of the present embodiment may be used for a building member. For example, a sheet laminate or a projection screen may be attached to a transparent window material, and an image may be projected by a projector to be used as an advertisement or information provision for a store.

Further, it is understood that the sheet-like laminates of examples 17 to 20 can suppress aggregates of light scatterer particles, and that the sheet-like laminates have excellent appearance and can obtain high image quality even when images are projected.

As shown in fig. 5, it is understood that when 2 times the measurement angle at which the intensity becomes 50% (0.5) is taken as the scattering angle, the scattering angle is about 12 ° in comparative example 3, and about 27 ° in comparative example 4, whereas the scattering angle is 73 ° in the sheet laminate of example 12.
Example 13 composite light diffusion sheet
As shown in fig. 6, a composite light diffuser sheet 15 in which a light scattering body 5 was formed on a commercially available light diffuser sheet 14 was prepared.
Specifically, a light-scattering material-forming composition 2 was applied to one surface of a light diffusion sheet (Scotchcal light diffusion film, manufactured by 3M). A composite light diffusion sheet was produced in the same manner as in example 1, except that the thickness of the light scattering layer was changed to 2.3 μm by coating. The composite light diffusion sheet can improve the light scattering rate.
Example 14 composite light diffusion sheet
A composite light diffusion sheet was produced in the same manner as in example 13, except that the thickness of the light scattering layer was set to 5.4 μm.
Example 15 composite light diffusion sheet
A composite light diffusion sheet was produced in the same manner as in example 13, except that the thickness of the light scattering layer was set to 8.3 μm.
Comparative example 5
A sample in which no light scattering layer was formed on the Scotchcal light diffusion film (manufactured by 3M) used in example 13 was evaluated as a composite light diffusion sheet.
This was used as a comparative example.
The coated surface was irradiated with LED illumination, and the optical properties of the composite light diffusion sheets of examples 13 to 15 and comparative example 5 were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 3.
[ Table 3]
Figure BDA0002690221780000271
The light diffusivity can be calculated by one of the measurement methods specified in german industrial standard DIN5036, specifically, by measuring the luminance L (θ) in the direction of the emission angle θ (± 5 °, ± 20 °, ± 70 °) of the light emitted from the opposite surface by making the light incident on one surface of the resin substrate at an incident angle of 0 degree, and substituting the measured value into the following formula (1), the diffusivity of the resin substrate can be calculated, and a higher value means a wider diffusion of the light.

As is apparent from Table 3, the light diffusion rates of the composite light diffusion sheets of examples 13 to 15 were improved.
Example 16 intensifier for illumination
The sheet laminate 6 as a light intensifier was evaluated using the illumination device 23 shown in fig. 7. The illumination device 23 includes: a box-shaped white acrylic resin plate 20, a transparent acrylic resin plate 21 covering the opening thereof, and a cylindrical LED light source 22 provided inside of them. The sheet laminate 6 was attached to the entire inner surface of the white acrylic resin plate, and the case where the sheet laminate was not attached was compared, thereby performing evaluation.
Specifically, the sheet laminate of example 2 was attached to the entire inner surface (made of a white acrylic resin plate) of an illumination device having a vertical length of 20cm, a horizontal length of 40cm and a depth of 20cm by an adhesive. A straight-tube LED (manufactured by ルートアール, RL-BAR30DLC) was used as a light source, and the opening was closed with a transparent acrylic resin plate. The illuminance was measured at a position 30cm from the projection surface of the illumination device using an illuminometer (FT 3424, manufactured by sun-mounted electric machine) for the case where the sheet laminate was attached and the case where the sheet laminate was not attached. The results are shown in Table 4.
[ Table 4]
Illuminance of light
Illumination device having sheet-like laminate attached to inner surface thereof 3532lux
Illumination device without sheet laminate attached to inner surface 2194lux
Rate of rise of illuminance 1.61 times of
As is clear from table 4, the effect of increasing the illuminance by about 1.61 times was obtained when the sheet laminate of example 2 was used as a light intensifier for illumination.
