A microlens array sheet includes a light-shielding base having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and a microlens array attached to the first surface of the light-shielding base, the array having a plurality of microlens. The light-shielding base has a plurality of apertures that correspond to the microlenses. Each aperture has a conical trapezoid-like shape in which a size of each aperture on the first surface side is larger than another size of each aperture on the second surface side. Instead of the light-shielding base, the microlens array sheet may include a transparent base having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and a light-shielding layer, having a third surface and a fourth surface opposite to the third surface, provided on the second surface of the transparent base. The microlens array is attached to the first surface of the transparent base. The light-shielding layer has a plurality of apertures that correspond to the microlenses. Each aperture has a conical trapezoid-like shape in which a size of each aperture on the third surface side is larger than another size of each aperture on the fourth surface side.

Microlens array sheet and method of producing the same

The micro-lens array in which a plural of convexly-protruded micro-lens are closely arranged two-dimensionally and a plural of convex sub-lenses having a curvature-radius smaller than that of the micro-lens are protrusively formed on the surface of each micro-lens has a large view angle, since D/D is in a range from 0.1 to 0.3 where D is the micro-lens bottom face width obtained by halving the summation of the maximum and the minimum width which are measured along the line passing through the center of the bottom face of the micro-lens; Dis the sub-lens bottom face width obtained by halving the summation of the maximum and the minimum width which are measured along the line passing through the center of the bottom face of the sub-lens; and Dis the average sub-lens bottom face width obtained by averaging a plural of the sub-lens bottom face widths D.

A high speed dubbing apparatus for producing magnetic tapes such as video, audio or computer soft tapes, is provided. Typical form of the apparatus may comprise 2 master tape playback devices for synchronously playing back 2 divided master tapes respectively recorded with 2 divided master signals obtained by dividing time-divisionally an original master signal having an original data sequence by 2 and for outputting the 2 divided master signals, a double speed recording signal producing device for time-compressing each of the 2 divided master signals to 1/2 to obtain a double speed recording signal from the 2 divided master signals while restoring the original data sequence in the double speed recording signal and a recording device for recording the double speed recording signal on a slave tape running at a speed which is twice the nominal playback speed of the slave tape.

Tape dubbing and divided master tape producing system

A high speed dubbing apparatus for producing magnetic tapes such as video, audio or computer soft tapes, is provided. Typical form of the apparatus may comprise 3 master tape playback devices for synchronously playing back 3 divided master tapes respectively recorded with 3 divided master signals obtained by dividing time-divisionally an original master signal having an original data sequence by 3 and for outputting the 3 divided master signals, a triple speed recording signal producing device for time-compressing each of the 3 divided master signals to 1/3 to obtain a triple speed recording signal from the 3 divided master signals while restoring the original data sequence in the triple speed recording signal and a recording device for recording the triple speed recording signal on a plurality of slave tapes running at a speed which is 3 times the normal playback speed of the slave tapes.
