Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lighting film which includes a base member having optical transparency, a plurality of protrusions having optical transparency, which are formed to be adjacent to each other on one surface of the base member, and a gap portion formed between the protrusions, in which an area of an end surface of the protrusion on a base member side is greater than an area of an end surface of the protrusion on a side opposite to the base member, and a ratio s/w of an interval s of two adjacent protrusions among the plurality of protrusions to a width w of the protrusion is equal to or less than 0.1.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 2 . (canceled) 3 . A lighting film comprising: a base member having optical transparency; a plurality of protrusions having optical transparency, which are formed to be adjacent to each other on one surface of the base member; a gap portion formed between the protrusions; and a second protrusion provided in a region between the protrusions on the one surface of the base member, wherein the second protrusion has an inclined surface inclined with respect to the one surface of the base member and a height of the second protrusion is smaller than a height of the protrusion. 4 . The lighting film according to claim 3 , wherein an area of an end surface of the protrusion on the base member side is greater than an area of an end surface of the protrusion on the side opposite to the base member. 5 . The lighting film according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of protrusions include a plurality of protrusions having a side surface with an inclination angle that is changed in a continuous or stepwise manner from the base member side to the side opposite to the base member. 6 . The lighting film according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of protrusions include a plurality of protrusions having side surfaces with inclination angles different from each other. 7 . The lighting film according to claim 3 , wherein the protrusion extends in a straight line shape or in a curved line shape and two side surfaces of the protrusion in a cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the protrusion have an inclination angle that is changed in a continuous or stepwise manner from the base member side to the side opposite to the base member. 8 - 22 . (canceled) 23 . A roll screen comprising: a lighting film; a winding mechanism that winds the lighting film around a shaft center; and an accommodation section that accommodates the shaft center and the winding mechanism, wherein the lighting film includes a base member having optical transparency, a plurality of protrusions having optical transparency, which are formed to be adjacent to each other on one surface of the base member, a gap portion formed between the protrusions, and a second protrusion provided in a region between the protrusions on the one surface of the base member, and wherein the second protrusion has an inclined surface inclined with respect to the one surface of the base member and a height of the second protrusion is smaller than a height of the protrusion. 24 . The roll screen according to claim 23 , wherein an area of an end surface of the protrusion on the base member side is greater than an area of an end surface of the protrusion on the side opposite to the base member. 25 . The roll screen according to claim 23 , wherein the plurality of protrusions include a plurality of protrusions having a side surface with an inclination angle that is changed in a continuous or stepwise manner from the base member side to the side opposite to the base member. 26 . The roll screen according to claim 23 , wherein the plurality of protrusions include a plurality of protrusions having side surfaces with inclination angles different from each other. 27 . The roll screen according to claim 23 , wherein the protrusion extends in a straight line shape or in a curved line shape and two side surfaces of the protrusion in a cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the protrusion have an inclination angle that is changed in a continuous or stepwise manner from the base member side to the side opposite to the base member. 28 - 32 . (canceled) 33 . A lighting louver comprising: a plurality of lighting films which are tiltably supported with a predetermined interval therebetween, wherein the lighting film includes a base member having optical transparency, a plurality of protrusions having optical transparency, which are formed to be adjacent to each other on one surface of the base member, a gap portion formed between the protrusions, and a second protrusion provided in a region between the protrusions on the one surface of the base member, and wherein the second protrusion has an inclined surface inclined with respect to the one surface of the base member and a height of the second protrusion is smaller than a height of the protrusion. 34 . The lighting louver according to claim 33 , wherein an area of an end surface of the protrusion on the base member side is greater than an area of an end surface of the protrusion on the side opposite to the base member. 35 . The lighting louver according to claim 33 , wherein the plurality of protrusions include a plurality of protrusions having a side surface with an inclination angle that is changed in a continuous or stepwise manner from the base member side to the side opposite to the base member. 36 . The lighting louver according to claim 33 , wherein the plurality of protrusions include a plurality of protrusions having side surfaces with inclination angles different from each other. 37 . The lighting louver according to claim 33 , wherein the protrusion extends in a straight line shape or in a curved line shape and two side surfaces of the protrusion in a cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the protrusion have an inclination angle that is changed in a continuous or stepwise manner from the base member side to the side opposite to the base member. 38 - 40 .
