Embodiment

Referring to Figure 17 and Figure 18, illustrate the utility model.Example 1 is embodiment, and example 2 and example 3 are comparative examples.

(example 1)

Preparation is clamped with by liquid-crystal compounds and orientation limitation material between a pair of of soda-lime glass substrate (transparent substrate) 3,5 Expect the optical element 6 of the electrooptics functional layer 4 constituted.The optical element is scattered when applying voltage, is not applying voltage When show pellucidity.As transparent panel 11, light guide plate glass substrate (Asahi Glass Co., Ltd's system, trade name XCV are prepared Refractive index 1.52).The light guide plate is 50mm, in the wavelength region of wavelength 400nm~700nm in optical path length with glass substrate, Average internal transmissivity is 98.8%.

Above-mentioned optical element 6 and light guide plate are connect in such a way that cross sectional shape becomes Figure 17 by optics with glass substrate 11 It closes layer 2 and is bonded.Dynamic storage shear modulus (G ') when optical junction layer is at 35 DEG C, 1Hz is 8.9kPa.Whereby, it makes The structural body of example 1.

(example 2)

As optical element 6, in addition to using commercially available electrooptic element (Nippon Sheet Glass Co Ltd's system, trade name UMU FILM other than), the structural body of example 2 has been made in the same manner as example 1.

(example 3)

Optical element used in example 1 is used alone.

(evaluation)

For example 1~3, determine according to the pellucidity lower 0 ° (normal direction) of the electrooptics functional layer of optical element and 45 ° (oblique incidence direction) of transmissivity and normal direction it is transparent when and the ratio between the luminous brightness of leaded light when scattering (scattering Intensity when Shi Qiangdu/transparent) contrast ratio that calculates.

(transmissivity measurement)

In the state that optical element makes light transmissive state and the not light of radiation source, the structural body of example 1~3 has been carried out Transmissivity measurement.In example 1 and example 3, it is determined in the state of not applying voltage to optical element.In example 2, right The state system that optical element is applied with the voltage of rectangular wave 50Hz, 60V determines transmissivity.The results are shown in tables 1.

Used in the present embodiment as the refractive index of the light guide plate glass substrate of transparent panel be 1.52, with light guide plate use Glass substrate is adjacent and is air (refractive index 1) with the medium of the discontiguous part of optical junction layer.Therefore, it is calculated by above-mentioned formula 3 Measurement angle out is 41.1 °.In the present embodiment, for the convenience of measurement device, transmissivity has been carried out to measure 45 ° of angle Measurement.In general, the transmissivity about optical element, measurement angle is bigger, then is become larger by the distance of the light of optical element, thoroughly Penetrate rate reduction.

(measurement of contrast ratio)

In the state of the light of radiation source, the measurement of the contrast ratio of the structural body of example 1~3 has been carried out.In example 1 and 2, such as Shown in Figure 17, so that the light of light source 13 is from the light guide plate condition of glass substrate incidence, in light guide plate with the one of glass substrate 11 End configures light source 13, in example 3, as shown in figure 18, configures light source 13 in the one end of optical element 6, is determined.

In the measurement of the contrast ratio of 1~example of example 3, in not contacted with optical element 6 for light guide plate glass substrate 11 Barn door 19 is arranged across air layer as shown in figure 18 in face and face not opposite with the detector of optical element 6.Whereby, may be used Inhibit the incidence of the light from the face opposite with the display surface of optical element.

It is measured at each 5 positions of the structural body of example 1~3, by the value of its average value rate as a comparison.In addition, will The intensity of incident light is changed to two ranks (high-intensitive and low-intensity), is measured.It the results are shown in table 1.

[table 1]

As shown in table 1, the structural body of example 1 and example 3 has the normal side being made of liquid-crystal compounds and orientation limitation material To the electrooptics functional layer high with the transmissivity in oblique incidence direction.Therefore, the structural body of example 1 and example 3 with used as commercially available The structural body of the example 2 of the electrooptics functional layer of electrooptic element is compared, and is shown in normal direction and oblique incidence direction high saturating Penetrate rate.In particular, when comparing example 1 and example 2, the transmissivity ratio in the oblique incidence direction of electrooptics functional layer used in example 1 The height of example 2, therefore reach from light guide plate glass substrate, with the light towards medium adjacent thereto the angle of above-mentioned formula 3 ' or more Condition from the light of the end incidence of light guide plate glass substrate in electrooptics functional layer, be not easy the scatter incident light, institute With example 1 it is transparent when guide-lighting luminous intensity become smaller.Optical element scatter when guide-lighting luminous intensity in example 1, example 2 compared with Height, so the contrast ratio of the structural body of example 1 becomes larger.In other words, oblique incidence side the electrooptics functional layer as used in example 2 To the low electrooptics functional layer of transmissivity in, it is incident with glass substrate from light guide plate even if optical element is pellucidity Light is also scattered when guide-lighting in structural body.As a result, even if when transparent, by the light that will be incident to electrooptics functional layer Scattering, guide-lighting luminous intensity are got higher, and contrast ratio reduces.

As described above, the electrooptics functional layer that example 1 and example 3 use the transmissivity in the oblique incidence direction under pellucidity high, So if guide-lighting, then optical element leading when transparent is similarly obtained on viewing surface direction when light is incident to structural body Light luminous intensity is same.

But in example 3, there is no optical junctions in the transparent panel of electrooptics functional layer, and light is incident to composition electrooptics The end of the soda-lime glass substrate of functional layer, so while the light absorption of glass substrate and be unable to get towards viewing surface direction Leaded light itself.Therefore, although optical element is smaller in the same manner as example 1 for the light emission luminance of pellucidity, optical element is in light Leaded light luminous intensity is also small when scattering, so contrast ratio becomes smaller.That is, optics can be reduced only in the composition of the utility model Guide-lighting luminous intensity when element is transparent, meanwhile, by obtaining adequately guide-lighting luminous intensity in the scattering of optical element, The high transparent luminescent of the identity that contrast ratio is 4 or more can be provided to show.

A possibility that being utilized in industry

Structural body according to the present utility model can get and environment is utilized in the sufficiently high situation of intensity of environment light The high contrast ratio of light, optical element transmission and scattering, the situation in the case where environment light is weak or almost without environment light Under, by the way that the light of light source to be incident to the end of transparent panel, can get based on the luminous contrast ratio of leaded light be 5 or more it is good Display.

In addition, lighting device according to the present utility model, it can be in the case where not depending on the intensity of environment light, by right Optical element applies voltage and does not apply voltage, switches pellucidity and luminance.
