Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an optical film in which a microlens is disposed on a crucible surface. [Prior Art] As shown in Fig. 1, a conventional optical film includes a prism layer (p) array and is connected to a base layer (B) by a structure to achieve desired optical characteristics. In order to increase the brightness of the optical axis (on-axisbrightness), the film must be designed and changed in terms of angles, directionality, etc., adding complexity and cost to the production. If the light guide is used to direct the light to the direction of the optical axis, the installation, volume and cost of the relevant components will also increase. It has never been attempted to directly add a light guiding structure to the surface of the prism. The inventor of the present invention first invented this direct, inexpensive and effective way to reposition the surface with a microlens to direct the light and approach the light. An optical film in which the axis increases the brightness of the optical axis. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an optical film having a microlens on a crucible surface, comprising: a transparent base layer; and a crucible layer containing a plurality of crucibles connected to the transparent base layer The upper surface of the crucible is provided with a plurality of microlenses (micnWens), so that the projection light passing through the prism surface is refracted through the microlenses to make the outgoing light direction closer to the optical axis. (on-axis), which can increase the brightness of the optical axis of the optical film. The preferred embodiment of the present invention can be clarified by the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 200811479 [Embodiment] Referring to Figures 2, 3 and 4, the optical film of the present invention comprises: a transparent base layer (1); The layer (2) is connected to the base layer (1) and includes a plurality of turns arranged side by side on the base layer (1); the top faces (31, 32) of the respective turns (3) are connected Or a plurality of microlenses (4, micor_lenses) including a convex lens and a concave lens. Each of the microlenses (4) may have a curved shape, a new circular shape, and a semi-circular shape, and the bottom surface thereof is coplanar with the prism surface (31 or 32); that is, each of the microlenses (4) The bottom surface of each of the kneading surfaces (jl or 32) is outwardly convex (c〇vex) away from the kneading surface to the apex of the inflection point (I, Inflection point) of the microlens. The microlenses (4) are preferably integrally formed on the sides (31, 32) of each of the crucibles; and the crucible (3) and the microlenses (4) can be integrally molded by molding or transfer. ) is integrally connected to the base layer (1). The transparent base layer (1) can be produced from a thermoplastic resin, including: polystyrene dicarboxylate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), and the like. The ruthenium layer (3) and the microlens (4) of the ruthenium layer (2) may be formed from a photosensitive or photocurable resin or a thermosetting resin, including a UV curable resin (or uv glue). Of course, other suitable materials may also be selected and applied, and the invention is not limited. For the sake of clarity, the fourth to sixth embodiments of the present invention only disclose that a microlens (4) is attached to the face (31) of the optical film of the present invention. In fact, the shape of the microlens on the facet (31 or 32) of the present invention is not limited thereto, such as the shape, number, arrangement, and the like. As shown in Fig. 4, when the incident light (L) is projected into the pupil plane (31) on the left side of the figure in the 稜鏡(3), the conventional method shown in the broken line in Fig. 4 is not added. Taking the microlens (4) as an example, the incident light (L) at the first boundary® point (P1) passes through the first interface point (ρι) of the pupil plane (31), that is, deviates from the first normal line (N1) to refract The angle (A) is emitted as the first outgoing light (L1). When the microlens (4) of the present invention is added, the incident light (L) penetrates the microlens to a second interface point (p2) above the inflection point (1), ie, deviates from the second normal "2). The angle is emitted as the second outgoing light (L2). The second outgoing light (L2) is obviously more toward the optical axis (X) than the first outgoing light (L1), and the optical axis brightness of the optical film thus formed is increased. 〇n-axis The second normal (N2) method is as follows: 1 • At the second interface point (P2) of the microlens (4), draw a tangent along the curved surface of the microlens (T, tangential line 〇2· On the tangent line (T), draw a vertical line orthogonal to the second interface point (p2), which constitutes the second normal line (N2) 〇 first normal line (N1) and second normal line (N2) Self-twisting or microlens (4) (they are set to have the same refractive index for the same material). The refraction angle (4) of the light is the same, but the second outgoing light (4) is the same as the first normal. The refraction angle refracts the light, but since the second normal (10) has a skew angle (A1) from the first normal line (N1) to the optical axis (X), the second outgoing light (L2) is of course better than the first - The outgoing light (L1) is more in the direction of the optical axis (χ), and if it is added, the light is added. The optical axis brightness of the film is 'sufficient' to prove that the present invention has a microlens (4) structure on the surface of the crucible, so that the light exiting through the 稜鏡φ with the 200811479 microlens is less than that of the micro-wei. Lai tends to the optical axis and increases the optical axis brightness of the optical film. As described above and in Fig. 4, the interface point (4) for refracting light (4) is located above the reverse step (I) of the microlens (4) surface (I) ( Or the right side of the figure), at this time, the exit 2) does tend to be more toward the optical axis. However, the right incident light (L) is incident on the second interface point (4) via the microlens (4) and the inflection point of the surface of the microlens ( I) anastomosis (ie Ι = Ρ 2) as shown in Fig. 5, at this time, the second outgoing light (L2) and the first-exit light (L1) not provided with the microlens are in a parallel direction, at this time, the human shot, The direction of the outgoing light has no adverse effect on the optical axis brightness. As shown in Fig. 6, when the incident light (L) is refracted and emitted from the second interface point (4), the interface point (P2) is already at the microlens inflection point. Below 1 or to the left of the figure, at this time, the second outgoing light (L2) is more deviated from the optical axis (χ) than the first outgoing light (L1); and, fortunately, the second outgoing light (L2) Still injecting into the adjacent cymbal (3), there is no inferior image of light loss (Hghtl〇ss). In summary, the present invention is increased by the addition of microlenses to the surface of the cymbal. When the optical axis brightness is low and the incident light angle is low, it will still enter the adjacent crucible without causing light loss. Overall, the present invention gains the optical characteristics of the optical film, especially increased. The optical axis brightness is excellent and progresses to the conventional technology. As shown in Fig. 7, the rabbit may modify the aforementioned microlens (4) into a micro concave lens (known) from the face of the 稜鏡 (3) (31 '32) is formed by a concave, which constitutes another preferred embodiment of the present invention. The microlens (4) may also be connected to the top surface (3i or 32) by a semi-cylindrical microlens (2008) as shown in FIG. 8, and each microlens (4b) It is also parallel to the two sides (>1 j2) which are upwardly tapered and meet the ridge (rib) line (33), which also forms a further preferred embodiment of the present invention. The present disclosure may also be provided with a microlens (4) mirror (3) and a crucible (3) not provided with a microlens to be alternately spaced as shown in Fig. 9; The mirror surface (9) is provided with a microlens (4), but the other surface (5) is not provided with a microlens, as shown in Fig. 1. In the present invention, the size, shape, height, and pitch of the microlenses (4) are determined by the method of "curvature distribution on the prism or density of the rows", and the filaments are arranged in a fine manner. Of course, the refractive indices of '稜鏡(3) and the microlens (4) may be the same, but they may be different. The present invention is not limited in any way. The invention may be suitably modified or altered without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, in the case of the pyramids of the right-handed pyramids, the microlenses may be provided on the respective pyramid faces, and the variations are applied.
