Abstract: A method for producing optical films is provided which comprises the steps of: melt-extruding a thermoplastic resin into a film through a die of an extruder, pressing the melt-extruded thermoplastic resin layer together with a supporting layer between a cooling roll which is made of metal or ceramic and a rubber roll which is pressed against the cooling roll and rolled in the same circumferential direction, carrying the thermoplastic resin layer together with the supporting layer under taking off tension until the thermoplastic resin layer is cooled down, and peeling and separating the supporting layer from the thermoplastic resin layer to obtain a thermoplastic resin film. Optical films are provided by a melt-extrusion method which have less optical surface defects such as die lines and gear marks and less fluctuations in film thickness and have uniform optical characteristics, which are useful as a material for various optical films used in liquid crystal displays, especially, a retardation film.

Abstract: A plurality of solar batteries are provided between a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate and the second substrate are formed of, for example, a paper or a non-woven cloth, which is a material including a natural fiber, cellulose, as the main component. Papers and silicon have relatively small difference in coefficient of thermal expansion so that warp caused by changes in the temperature is suppressed. Also, papers are light, easy to be processed and spontaneously decomposed so that disposing becomes easy. The first substrate is preferable to be transparent or semitransparent and preferable to be formed of cellophane paper, glassine paper, parchment paper, or Japanese paper. Oil may be included in the material. The second substrate is preferable to be opaque. A waterproof film may be formed on the first substrate and the second substrate.

Abstract: A continuous sheet having an optical function imparted thereto, which is obtained by extruding a thermoplastic resin on a three-dimensional pattern side of a continuous release sheet having a three-dimensional pattern in its surface to shus transfer said pattern to a surface of said thermoplastic resin, simultaneously contacting the other side of said thermoplastic resin with a cooling roll having an uneven pattern or a mirror surface to thus transfer said pattern or mirror surface to a surface of said thermoplastic resin in contact with said cooling roll, and separating by peeling said release sheet from said thermoplastic resin after cooling. The continuous sheet is free of a streak and scratch and freely cuttable in any desired size and form.

Abstract: A prism sheet having a plurality of substantially triangular prism-shaped lens units with their longitudinal axes almost parallel to each other arranged on one side and having the other side roughened, and with a characteristic value of 100 when said roughned side is smooth, the characterstic values are not less than 50 in glossiness, not more than 70 in internal reflective ability, and not more than 70 in friction coefficient when the plane including the prism peaks is rubbed by the roughened surface. The prism sheet of the present invention is therefrom free from interference fringes, substantially safe from scratching and uniform and high in brightness, being thus useful for liquid crystal devices etc.
