Abstract
In LCD application, it was thought that transparent polymer materials were necessary for optical-transmission media of light sources. Therefore, for conventional edge-light type backlight systems which have lamps on one or both edges, transparent PMMA homopolymer plate has been used as a waveguide. And, it was believed that a transparent PMMA homopolymer plate as a waveguide was indispensable. However, this conventional system has not given satisfied luminance.
