Patent attributes
A prism sheet that allows light that is incident with an angle below 2.8° with respect to an axis normal to a light incident surface to be refracted and emitted, and a liquid crystal display device including the prism sheet are presented. The prism sheet includes a first surface through which light from a light source enters the prism sheet and a second surface through which the light exits the prism sheet. The second surface also includes polygonal protruding members having length axes substantially parallel to each other. Each of the polygonal protruding members has at least one first side forming an angle ranging from 65° to 75° with respect to a line normal to the first surface, and at least one second side forming an angle ranged from 40° to 50° with respect to a line normal to the first surface.
