Embodiment approach 1

[0046] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0047] (shape of diffuser plate)

[0048] figure 1 It is a figure which shows the cross-sectional profile of the diffuser plate 1 of this embodiment in the cross-section perpendicular|vertical to the main surface S1. like figure 1As shown, the diffusion plate 1 is a light diffusion plate in which a plurality of microlenses 2 are arranged on the main surface S1 of the substrate. The plurality of microlenses 2 are arranged in a grid on the principal surface S1. figure 1 The vertical axis of represents the height of the main surface S1 of the lens shape with the height of the main surface S1 of the substrate being 0. figure 1 The horizontal axis of represents the position parallel to the direction of the main surface S1. Moreover, the optical axis of the microlens array which consists of several microlenses 2 faces the direction perpendicular to main surface S1. ...

Embodiment

[0115] Hereinafter, based on the example of the diffuser plate 1 of this embodiment, this invention is demonstrated in more detail.

[0116] In the diffuser plate 1 of this embodiment, as described above, the microlens array including the plurality of microlenses 2 on the main surface S1 is designed by dividing the phase modulation shape 4 and the plurality of reference microlenses 3 .

[0117] Across the entire microlens array, a phase modulation shape 4 is set. In the phase modulation shape 4, the maximum height difference from the main surface S1 for imparting a phase difference is ΔH=1.5 μm. On the main surface S1, uniform random numbers corresponding to the respective positions of the plurality of microlenses 2 are generated, and a raised height (raised portion) for imparting a phase difference is set. However, when a different raised height is set only for each microlens 2 among the plurality of microlenses 2 , the phase difference between adjacent microlenses 2 becomes...

Abstract

A diffusion plate (1) according to the present invention is characterized by having a plurality of fine structures (microlenses (2)) each having at least two lens functions arranged on the principle surface (S1) thereof, and enabling diffused light within a desired diffusion angle range to have substantially uniform intensity, wherein when the average pitch of the fine structures is P and the standard deviation of relative luminance of the fine structures in the respective front surface directions is Sk, P<=200 [mu]m, Sk >= 0.005, and P * P * Sk <= 400 [mu]m2 are satisfied. Accordingly, the present invention can provide a diffusion plate having a simple configuration which exhibits optical properties of low luminance unevenness and low color unevenness, and also exhibits favorable exterior appearance quality at a time of image projection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a diffuser plate. Background technique [0002] Diffusion plates using microlens arrays are used as screens for head-up displays, laser projectors, and the like. Compared with the case of using a diffuser such as a translucent plate or ground glass, the use of a microlens array has the advantage that speckle noise of laser light can be suppressed. [0003] Patent Document 1 describes an image forming apparatus having a diffuser plate using a laser projector and a microlens array formed by arranging a plurality of microlenses. The laser projector uses laser light as a light source to The image formed by the arrangement of multiple pixels is projected. When a microlens array is used, incident light can be appropriately diffused, and a desired diffusion angle can be freely designed. [0004] In Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and Non-Patent Document 1, screens using two microlens arrays are described. In the case where o...
