Patent ID: 7712911

Claim:
A light diffusion component to be disposed on a front surface of a display panel, the display panel being used for an image display device, comprising: a transmission piece extending in a horizontal direction of the display panel, and having a substantially trapezoidal cross-section in a plane extended in a vertical direction of the display panel; a light absorption piece extending in the horizontal direction of the display panel, and having a substantially wedged cross-section in a plane extended in the vertical direction of the display panel, the substantially wedged cross-section becoming thinner in a direction of an image light from the display panel; wherein the light transmission piece and the light absorption piece are alternated and juxtaposed in the vertical direction of the display panel; wherein the light absorption piece includes a first wedged portion located at a side of the display panel, and a second wedged portion joined to the first wedged portion; wherein a slope of the first wedged portion with respect to the image light direction is larger than a slope of the second wedged portion with respect to the image light direction; wherein a bordering trapezoid of the substantially wedged cross-section of the light absorption piece is at least partially delimited by two proximal edges of the first wedged portion at the display panel side and two distal edges of the second wedged portion farthest away from the display panel side; and wherein a combined area of a cross-section of the first wedged portion in a plane extended in the vertical direction and an area of a cross-section of the second wedged portion in a plane extended in the vertical direction is at least equal to ⅓ and no greater than ⅔ of an area of the cross-section of the bordering trapezoid in a plane extended in the vertical direction.
