Publication number: 20160153638Abstract: An optical prism sheet includes a transparent substrate having a light-entrance surface, and a plurality of elongated prisms that protrude from the transparent substrate. Each of the prisms has a scalene triangular cross-section and first and second surfaces that intersect each other to define an apex angle. The apex angle of each of the prisms is divided by a normal line of the transparent substrate into first and second sub-angles that are different from each other. At least one of the light-entrance surface and the first and second surfaces of each of the prisms is roughened to form a plurality of micro-protrusions, each of which has a height ranging from 0.1 ?m to 5 ?m.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2015Publication date: June 2, 2016Inventors: Kuang-Lin Yuan, Li-Jen Hsu, Chun-Ming Hsu, Wei-Chun Peng
