However, in the light guide plate unit, a pattern of a prism sheet having irregularities at a fixed pitch and a fixed pattern formed vertically and horizontally by a liquid crystal display to form a pixel interfere with each other to produce stripes. Generate patterns, for example,
When there are patterns with a constant pitch of N lines / mm and 5N lines / mm, a so-called moire fringe phenomenon is easily caused in which the same pattern is repeated as a stripe pattern every 5N lines, and this moire fringe is generated. Is a major factor that makes it difficult to see the screen.

Light is radiated in the vertical direction due to the unevenness of the prism structure having a triangular cross section of the light diffusing surface formed on the surface, so that the light is radiated intensively toward the liquid crystal display.
Moreover, since it is formed integrally with the light guide plate, there is no light leakage and the light utilization efficiency is high. In addition, since an interference blocking sheet having a thickness of 0.03 to 0.25 mm is interposed between the liquid crystal display and the light diffusion surface, the nature of light is improved as a wave that interferes with a regular rule, and a kind of irregularity is generated. To reduce the intensity due to mutual interference and suppress the generation of moiré fringes. Also, when the position of the interference blocking sheet is as close as possible to the light radiating surface, the light of various radiation angles, which have come out of the irregularities of the prism structure, is captured and directed vertically, thereby improving the brightness of the screen. .

When a flat surface is formed between the irregularities of the prism structure on the light diffusion surface, light near the light source is reflected to a position farther away, and the brightness of the entire display is made uniform. Also, if the reflection surface of the light guide plate is formed as a parallel surface that is in a state parallel to the diffusion surface, the reflection surface on the side closer to the light source will reduce the reflection angle,
Light is reflected to a position further away from the light source, and the illuminance of the display screen is made uniform. The combination of the flat surface and the parallel surface enhances the mutual effect.

On the light diffusion surface 2, irregularities of the prism structure are continuously formed. For the purpose of making the irradiation on the liquid crystal display 5 uniform, a flat surface capable of reflecting light between the irregularities of the prism structure. It is desirable to form surface 2a. That is, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the flat surface 2a receives the direct light incident from the light source 8 or the light from the reflection surface 3 and reflects the light to a position further away from the light source. It fulfills its function. This is because, when only the irregularities of the prism structure are continuously formed, light at a position relatively close to the light source is preferentially radiated, and even when combined with what is usually called a diffusion sheet, as the distance from the light source increases, This is because the amount of scattered light is reduced, and as a result, the portion of the display screen near the light source is bright, and becomes darker as the distance from the light source increases, and the luminance distribution becomes uneven. For this reason, it is generally desirable to increase the flat surface 2a at a position closer to the light source 8 and to decrease the flat surface 2a as the distance from the light source 8 increases. Further, when the light guide plate 1 partially having the flat surface 2a and the liquid crystal display 5 are used in combination, moire fringes occur due to interference between the two. Therefore, it is effective to provide an interference blocking sheet 6 for preventing mutual interference between them.

Although the reflection surface 3 serving as the bottom surface of the light guide plate 1 is conventionally made as an inclined surface and gradually narrowed as the distance from the light source increases, in the present invention, the reflection surface 3 on the side closer to the light source is parallel to the diffusion surface 2. It is desirable to form it on the parallel surface 3a in a state (see FIG. 3A). This is because, as shown in FIG. 3B, the angle of reflection of light from the reflecting surface 3 is lower than that of the inclined surface.
This is because the light is reflected to a position further away from the light source to make the brightness of the display screen uniform as with the flat surface. Therefore, the parallel surfaces 3a are not strictly parallel but include those having a slight inclination.

The flat surface 2a and the parallel surface 3a are combined to form the surface of the light emitting surface 2 into a prism structure having a triangular cross section, and reflect light from a light source between the prism structures. It is more desirable to form a flat surface 2a and to form the light reflecting surface side thereof into a parallel surface 3a and a wedge-shaped inclined surface 3b for transmitting the light from the light source 8 farther.

The interference shielding sheet 6 used in the present invention comprises:
There is no particular limitation as long as it is a plastic material such as acryl, polycarbonate, PET which has good light transmittance and can be processed into a sheet shape, but the surface state of the sheet is roughened. It is necessary that the fine particles have a surface roughness of usually about 1 to 100 μm.
It is formed by applying a liquid coating or mechanical embossing on its surface. The thickness is 30-2
When the thickness is 250 μm or more, the overall brightness decreases and the image becomes dark, and when the thickness is 30 μm or less, the physical strength becomes weak.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. The light emitted from the light source 8 enters the light guide plate 1 from the light receiving surface 4, travels inside the light guide plate 1, is reflected by the reflection surfaces 3 and 7, and is a radiation surface directly facing the liquid crystal display 5. Radiated from 2. At this time, light is radiated in the vertical direction on the light diffusion surface 2 due to the unevenness of the prism structure having a triangular cross section. Therefore, there is no light leakage and the light from the light source is most efficiently used as light for display projection.

However, as it is, the pattern of the prism sheet having irregularities at a constant pitch and the pattern of the liquid crystal display interfere with each other, causing so-called moire fringes. Therefore, if an interference blocking sheet 6 is interposed between the two, the nature of light is improved as a wave interfering with a regular rule, a kind of irregularity is brought in, the intensity of mutual interference is reduced, and moire fringes are generated. Suppress.

At this time, the position of the interference blocking sheet is set as close to the light diffusion surface 2 as possible. Because,
When the irregularities of the prism structure are formed integrally with the light guide plate 1, unlike the case where a prism plate having a constant radiation angle is provided separately, the radiation angles vary, and this radiation light is captured and This is because, in order to direct the light in the direction, it is advantageous to be closer to the light diffusion surface 2 and the luminance of the screen can be improved.

Further, when a flat surface 2a is formed on the light diffusing surface 2 between the irregularities of the prism structure and the number is increased as the position is closer to the light source, light closer to the light source is reflected to a position farther away. As a result, the brightness of the entire display can be made uniform.

As shown in FIG. 3, the reflecting surface 3 of the light guide plate 1 is provided.
Is formed on the parallel surface 3a where the reflection surface close to the light source is parallel to the diffusion surface, the reflection angle (α) becomes lower than the reflection angle (α ′) of the inclined surface, so that the light is further away from the light source. The light can be reflected to a different position, and the screen illuminance of the display 5 is made uniform as in the case of the flat surface 2a.
