A prism sheet capable of achieving an enhancement in light efficiency and
viewing angle characteristics and a backlight unit using the prism sheet
are disclosed. The prism sheet includes: a condensing film which
transmits light incident to the condensing film; a plurality of prism
crests on the condensing film having apexes; and a plurality of
reflection patterns formed on the condensing film such that each of the
reflection patterns faces a boundary of adjacent prism crests associated
with the reflection pattern to reflect light incident onto the reflection
patterns.
