  • Patent number: 9423537
    Abstract: An optical sheet includes a sheet-like body portion, and unit prisms arranged on one surface of the body portion. Each unit prism extends linearly in a direction intersecting the arrangement direction. Each unit prism, when viewed in a direction parallel to the arrangement direction of the unit prisms, has an uneven polygonal-line-shaped contour and, with reference to raised portions defined by the polygonal-line-shaped contour of each unit prism, the distance between a top of each raised portion, a farthest point from the body portion in the raised portion, and the body portion in the normal direction of the body portion is not constant. The optical sheet can prevent significant problems when it is superimposed on another member.

  • Patent number: 9213929
    Abstract: The pattern printed sheet 1 of the present invention includes a substrate 2 and a non-visible light-reflective transparent pattern 3 printed on a surface of the substrate, wherein an ink for forming the transparent pattern 3 contains a non-visible light-reflective material capable of selectively reflecting a light having a wavelength in a non-visible light range, and the transparent pattern 3 printed on the surface of the substrate 2 has a multilayer structure in section which is repeated at predetermined intervals as observed by a scanning electron microscope, and reflects only a circular polarization component in a predetermined rotation direction relative to an incident light applied thereto.

  • Patent number: 8993100
    Abstract: An infrared ray reflection pattern-printed transparent sheet is provided which can be applied to a data input system of a type of handwriting directly on a screen of a display device and provides a coordinate detect means and which is lightweight, low in a cost, readily increased in an area, possible in mass production and excellent in a read performance. It is an infrared ray reflection pattern-printed transparent sheet in which infrared ray reflective transparent patterns are printed on a surface of a transparent substrate and which is disposed oppositely to a front face of a display device. A cross section obtained by cutting the infrared ray reflective transparent patterns printed on the above transparent substrate in a face orthogonal to the above transparent substrate is formed so that it assumes a multilayer structure comprising a fixed repeating cycle when observed under a scanning electron microscope.

  • Patent number: 8466408
    Abstract: Provided is a surface film for a polarizing plate in which transparent patterns having a non-visible light reflective regularity are printed on a surface of a substrate and in which a reflection preventive layer or an antiglare layer is formed thereon or on a back side thereof, wherein an ink constituting the above transparent patterns contains a material reflecting a non-visible light. Capable of being provided is a surface film which can suitably be used for providing additional informations to an image display medium in such a manner that data are input by handwriting directly on a display device and in which the function described above is built-in from the beginning without making it necessary for the user to stick later a sheet having the above function.
