Disclosed is a prism sheet structure that can control optical coupling
between contact surfaces of two prism sheets in a backlight unit. The
prism sheet includes: a structural surface (14) having non-planar peaks
(11) with maximum height and minimum height along a length direction
thereof; and a curved layer (17) having the same cycle as a cycle of
height variation of the peak. The curved layer is formed at a boundary
surface (16) between the structural surface 14 and the flat surface to
maintain the right-angled isosceles triangular prisms formed due to a
difference between the highest point and the lowest point of each of the
peaks to have a predetermined size, so that distance between the valleys
(12) is uniform along the length direction. Although shapes of prisms are
identical, the cycle of the peak height variation allows the moire
patterns to be suppressed or removed.
