  • Publication number: 20220003897
    Abstract: There is provided an optical body with improved antireflection capability, a display device, and a method for manufacturing an optical body, the optical body including: a first concave-convex structure formed on a surface of a base material; and a second concave-convex structure superimposed on the first concave-convex structure. An average concave-convex period of the first concave-convex structure is larger than a wavelength in a visible light region, an average concave-convex period of the second concave-convex structure is less than or equal to the wavelength in the visible light region, and projecting parts of the second concave-convex structure extend in a direction normal to a flat plane of the base material.

  • Publication number: 20210387429
    Abstract: Provided are a cylindrical base, a master and a method for manufacturing a master enabling a uniform transfer of a fine pattern. A cylindrical base of a quartz glass having an internal strain in terms of birefringence of less than 70 nm/cm is used. A resist layer is deposited to an outer circumference surface of this cylindrical base, a latent image is formed on the resist layer, the latent image formed on the resist layer is developed and the pattern of the developed resist layer is used as a mask for etching to form a structure including concaves or convexes arranged in a plurality of rows on the outer circumference surface of the cylindrical base.
