  • Patent number: 9618180
    Abstract: An area light source device has a transfer-molded optical member, and a light source disposed in a position facing at least one of end faces of the optical member. Light incident to the optical member from the light source is output through a light exit surface of the optical member. A cutting back clearance portion is provided in at least one of corner portions of the end face of the optical member.

  • Patent number: 8625050
    Abstract: A light guide plate has a light incident surface configured to be arranged facing a point light source for introducing light from the point light source, a light outputting surface that outputs the light to an outside of the light guide plate, a light introducing section for confining the light from the point light source entered from the light incident surface, and a light guide plate main body having a thickness smaller than a maximum thickness of the light introducing section and being arranged to be continuous with the light introducing section, for outputting the confined light to the outside of the light guide plate from the light outputting surface by a light outputting element.

  • Patent number: 8575476
    Abstract: An alloy substrate formed on an alloy of Ni and Mo is formed by electroforming. The alloy substrate has graded composition in which alloy composition varies in a thickness direction thereof. A lower surface side is mainly composed of Ni, and a upper surface side is mainly composed of Mo. An upper surface of the alloy substrate is formed with a large number of minute and pyramidal unevenness having high light scattering property. A CIS light absorbing layer is formed on the upper surface of the alloy substrate, and an upper electrode is provided thereabove.

  • Patent number: 8345184
    Abstract: A light guide plate (63) includes a light introducing section (65), which is at a position facing a point light source (62), for confining light from the point light source, and a light guide plate main body (64), which has a thickness smaller than a thickness at an end of the light introducing section on the point light source side, for outputting the confined light to an outside from a light outputting surface by light outputting means (70). The light introducing section (65) has an inclined surface (67), which is inclined from a surface of the light introducing section towards a surface of the light guide plate main body (64). The inclined surface (67) has a directivity converting pattern (68) for converting a directivity expansion in a thickness direction of the light guide plate of the light entered to the light introducing section (65) to directivity characteristics tilted towards a direction parallel to a surface direction of the light guide plate.
