2. Description of the Related Art One of the following two methods is adopted as a conventional method for forming a light guide pattern composed of a non-scattering portion and a scattering portion. A scattering material such as titanium oxide is printed on the transparent plate by screen printing. A transparent material is injection-molded with a mold that incorporates a pattern consisting of rough and smooth portions. At this time, in the transferred pattern, the rough surface portion becomes the scattering portion and the smooth portion becomes the non-scattering portion.

The conventional methods for forming a light guide pattern composed of a non-scattering portion and a scattering portion have the following problems. First, in the method of printing the scattering material on the transparent plate by screen printing, it is necessary to mechanically contact the screen on which the predetermined pattern is formed in advance with the transparent plate at the time of printing.
However, there is a drawback in that a problem such as clogging of the screen is likely to occur and the pattern forming repeatability is low. Since the brightness uniformity is achieved by the light guide pattern, it is difficult to obtain the stability of the brightness uniformity when the pattern forming repeatability is low. Further, the injection molding method has a drawback that it is expensive because it requires the production of a mold. Further, in the injection molding of a thin light guide body having a thickness of about 2 mm, a body shape defect such as a warp is likely to occur in the light guide body during molding, and the molding operation itself is difficult.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention, showing a process for forming a light guide pattern composed of a non-scattering portion and a scattering portion. First, as shown in FIG. 1A, a photocurable resin 3 that becomes transparent after curing is applied onto a rough surface 2 of a transparent material light guide 1 such as acrylic having at least one surface roughened.
A photomask 4 on which a predetermined pattern has been formed in advance is placed on top of it with a space between it and the photocurable resin 3. Here, 4a is a photomask light transmitting portion, and 4b is a photomask light shielding portion. Further, light 5 having a curing wavelength of the photo-curable resin 3 is irradiated from above and exposed.

Next, when a developing step of washing the light guide 1 with a developing solution is performed, as shown in FIG. 1B, the photocurable resin 3a immediately below the photomask light transmitting portion 4a is cured and remains. Then
The outermost layer of the light guide in this portion becomes a smooth surface. Further, the photocurable resin immediately below the photomask light-shielding portion 4b is removed to expose the rough surface 2 of the light guide body, which is the outermost layer. Since the smooth surface serves as the non-scattering portion and the rough surface serves as the scattering portion, the light guide pattern including the non-scattering portion and the scattering portion is formed by the above processing.

As described above, according to the present invention, the exposure / development processing step is performed without mechanical contact between the photomask and the light guide body in which a predetermined pattern is formed in advance and between the photomask and the photocurable resin. Since the light guide pattern including the non-scattering portion and the scattering portion is formed, the pattern forming repeatability is increased. That is, since the light guide pattern achieves the brightness uniformity, the brightness uniformity is eventually increased in the present invention. In addition, since an expensive mold is not required, it can be formed at a low cost, and even when forming a light guide pattern of a thin light guide, a shape defect does not occur in the light guide body.
