The present invention relates to a prism sheet having a side which is
perpendicular to the normal of a light guiding plate. The prism sheet
includes a prism sheet base film and a plurality of linearly aligned
prisms. The prisms are formed on one side of the prism sheet base film.
Here, one side of each prism is perpendicular to the prism sheet base
film. The prism sheet condenses a light outputted from a light guiding
plate using its internal total reflection, and so the efficiency of the
light is enhanced.
