Patent number: 11940635Abstract: A light diffusion control body includes at least two light diffusion control layers each having a regular internal structure. The regular internal structure includes a plurality of regions having a relatively high refractive index in a region having a relatively low refractive index. The at least two light diffusion control layers includes a first light diffusion control layer and a second light diffusion control layer each having a minimum value of a haze value of 35% or more. The haze value is measured when one surface of each of the first light diffusion control layer and the second light diffusion control layer is irradiated sequentially with a light ray at an incident angle of ?70° to 70° with respect to the normal direction of the surface being 0°.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: LINTEC CORPORATIONInventors: Baku Katagiri, Kentaro Kusama, Tatsuki Kuramoto
