A LIGHT DIFFUSING COMPONENT AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A LIGHT DIFFUSING COMPONENT

A light diffusing component is disclosed. The light diffusing component comprises a substrate, such as glass, having a frontside, a backside spaced apart from the frontside, and an edge configured to receive a light source. The glass sheet includes at least one scattering layer having a plurality of light scattering centers etched into at least a portion of the frontside of the glass sheet. The scattering centers have an increased density as the distance from the edge increases and the scattering centers are randomly distributed in size and smaller than about 200 [mu]m. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing a light diffusing component comprising masking a substrate, such as a glass sheet, and etching the substrate such that the density of the resulting scattering centers increased as the distance from the light source increases. 公开了光漫射部件。所述光漫射部件包括基板，比如玻璃，所述基板具有前侧、与所述前侧隔开的后侧、以及被配置成用于接收光源的边缘。所述玻璃板包括至少一个散射层，所散射层具有多个光散射中心，所述多个光散射中心被蚀刻至所述玻璃板的所述前侧的至少一部分中。随着离所述边缘的距离增加，所述散射中心具有增加的密度，并且所述散射中心在尺寸上随机分布并且小于约200μm。还
