  • Patent number: 11531144
    Abstract: To suppress, in an optical body in which a microlens array as a non-periodic structure is arranged and deployed in a wide range, occurrence of periodic optical properties in a structural unit larger than the non-periodic structure. The optical body includes a single non-periodic structure region or a collection of a plurality of non-periodic structure regions, the non-periodic structure region being composed of a single lens group including a plurality of single lenses. In the non-periodic structure region, a located state of the single lens group is non-periodic as a whole. A ratio of a size of the non-periodic structure region to an average aperture diameter of the single lenses in the non-periodic structure region is more than or equal to 25.

  • Patent number: 8547639
    Abstract: An optical element includes a substrate including protruding structures on the surface and a hard coat layer formed on the substrate. An irregular shape is formed by the structures. An irregular shape resembling the irregular shape of the substrate is formed on a surface of the hard coat layer and is smoother than the that of the substrate. The size of bottoms of the structures changes at random within the range of the minimum distance Rm to the maximum distance RM (Rm: minimum value of the shortest distance from the center of gravity of the bottom of the structure to the rim of the bottom, RM: maximum value of the longest distance from the center of gravity of the bottom of the structure to the rim of the bottom). Neighboring structures have bottoms in contact or substantially in contact with one another. Rm and RM satisfy Rm/RM?0.9.
