Provided is an
optical film requirement that does not use fine particles for light
diffusion, is entirely composed of a transparent resin, and has a self-moire pattern that cannot be visually recognized by the
naked eye, said
optical film requirement having high front brightness without luminance unevenness on the
light emission surface of a backlight when mounted on an edge-light backlight. A light-collecting auxiliary film inserted between the
light emission surface of a
light guide plate and the light incidence surface of a brightness enhancement film (BEF) in an edge-light backlight unit using discrete LED
point light sources, the light-collecting auxiliary film being characterized by comprising: an optical
waveguide layer comprising a light-transmitting base film, and a light-collecting layer comprising a light-transmitting base film, the light-collecting auxiliary film being interposed between the
light emission surface of the
light guide plate and the light incidence surface of the brightness enhancement film (BEF), the light-collecting auxiliary film being interposed between the light-emitting surface of the
light guide plate and the light incidence surface of the brightness enhancement film (BEF); a light extraction layer that is formed on one surface of the optical
waveguide layer and has a plurality of inverted rectangular
pyramid-shaped unit recesses; and a light introduction layer formed on the other surface of the optical
waveguide layer and having a plurality of unit triangular prisms extending in parallel in one direction, the light extraction layer constituting a light emission surface, and
prism surfaces of the plurality of unit triangular prisms constituting the light introduction layer constituting a light incidence surface. The direction of the
ridge lines of the plurality of unit recesses and the direction of the
ridge lines of the plurality of unit triangular prisms intersect at an angle of 42 DEG to 48 DEG, and the light extraction layer, the optical waveguide layer, and the light introduction layer do not contain fine particles for light
diffusion. The self-moire pattern generated by the plurality of unit recesses and the plurality of unit
triangular prism lenses cannot be visually recognized by naked eyes.
