Abstract
Using extrusion compounding followed by compression molding processes, polycarbonate-based optical diffusers with uniform dispersion of diffusing particles could be prepared for application in direct-lit LED backlight unit. Inorganic porous silica and organic silicone microsphere particles were employed as diffusing agents. The inclusion of diffusing particles up to 3 wt % substantially improved the luminance uniformity with respect to both location and viewing angle, and the effect was shown to be more prominent for the silicone particles. Alternatively, inorganic silica particles could yield diffusers with enhanced absolute luminance and thermal resistance property. The thermo-mechanical property of the elastic modulus was revealed to be improved upon addition of diffusing particles of silica and silicone with cross-linked structure.
