Abstract

An optical sheet receiving an incident light from a light source is provided. The optical sheet includes a body, a plurality of reflective structures, and a plurality of Fresnel lens units. The body includes an incident surface and an emergent surface. The incident surface receives the incident light with an incident angle. The refractive index of the body is ni and i is a positive integer. The reflective structures are placed on the body. There is a spacing W between two neighboring reflective structures. In the direction of the incident light, the thickness of the reflective structure is t. The Fresnel lens units, having a width P, are disposed on the emergent surface. Each Fresnel lens is corresponded to the spacing. When the equation,is satisfied, the incident light passes through the spacing, the incident angle is adjusted by the thickness t and converged by the Fresnel lens units.
