Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an optical fiber sheet which has a uniform array of fibers, by arraying the optical fibers in a sheet form, covering the edge part of the array with the resin liquid or a dry film which can be hardened with radiant rays and then hardening the edge part of the array with irradiation of the radiant rays. CONSTITUTION:First 20 pieces of optical fibers of methacrylic resin which have 0.125mm. diameter and 2m length respectively are arranged properly, and a resin composition convers this array of optical fibers at its both ends of 20cm width respectively. The resin composition is made of a liquid and photosensitive resin composition which includes 60wt% bisoxyethylenized bisphenol A diacrylate serving as a crosslinkable monomer, 25wt% beta-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 10wt% pentaerythritol triacrylate, and 5wt% benzoin isobutyl ether serving as a photopolimerization initiator. The photosensitive resin layer is hardened with 2-second irradiation of a mercury lamp, etc. to obtain an optical fiber sheet of optical fibers 1 covered with a hardening resin layer 2.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は新規な光学繊維シートの製造法に関するもので

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel method for manufacturing optical fiber sheets.

近年、プラスチック製の光学繊維は軽量、可撓性及び安
価であり、しかも加工がしやすいという特長を生かして
装飾用やモニター用に幅広く使われ始めている。
In recent years, plastic optical fibers have begun to be widely used for decoration and monitors, taking advantage of their characteristics of being lightweight, flexible, inexpensive, and easy to process.

In order to insert optical fibers into these devices, after arranging the optical fibers in advance, they are fixed with adhesive and made into a sheet.
Next, the connector Km is mated. The thermosetting adhesives currently in common use once reduce their viscosity when heated and then harden. At present, the optical fibers are disarranged and cured for a second, so the arrangement of the optical fibers loses uniformity, and some fibers are fixed while sticking out of the arrangement.

となって積層が実際には出来ない状況にある。
In order to transmit a clear image, it is necessary to uniformly arrange a large number of optical fibers with a smaller fiber diameter, but the processability is inversely proportional to this, so it is necessary to uniformly stack nearly 10,000 optical fibers. If you try to do this, you will end up with a number of threads sticking out, making it impossible to actually stack the layers.

本発明者らは光学繊維をシート化するKつき種々検討中

The inventors of the present invention have been investigating various ways to form optical fibers into sheets with K, and have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by adopting the following method.
