Abstract: An illumination device including a light source; a light scanner for changing a light path of light-source light; a light diffusion device having element diffusion devices; and a light-path adjustment device disposed on a light path of the light-source light, the light-path adjustment device having element adjustment devices corresponding to respective element diffusion devices, adjusting a light path of the light-source light. An incident position of the light-source light on the light-path adjustment device varies depending on a light path determined by the light scanner. An incident angle of the light-source light on each element diffusion device varies depending on an incident position on the element adjustment device corresponding to the element diffusion device. An emergent angle from each element diffusion device varies depending on the incident angle on the element diffusion device. Each element diffusion device illuminates an element illumination area corresponding to the element diffusion device.

Abstract: A light guide plate (30) has a light exit surface (30a), a back surface (30b) opposed to the light exit surface, and a light entrance surface (30c) consisting of at least part of a side surface. The light guide plate has a body portion (40), and a light exit-side layer (50) formed from an ionizing radiation curable resin. The light exit-side layer includes an optical element portion (54) which defines the light exit surface. The optical element portion includes unit shaped elements (55) arranged in one direction intersecting a light guide direction, each unit shaped element extending linearly in a direction intersecting the one direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer sheet suitable for the formation of electrode patterns, dielectric layers, barrier layers, etc. in plasma display panels (PDPs), field emission displays (FEDS), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), fluorescent displays, hybrid integrated circuits, etc. The transfer sheet comprises a base film and a transfer layer releasably provided on the base film, optionally with a protective film provided on the transfer layer. The transfer layer comprises an inorganic component including a glass frit and an organic component removable by firing, optionally with an electrically conductive powder.
