Abstract: An optical film assembly comprises a light redirecting film (110) having a first structured major surface (112) and a second, opposed major surface (114). An optical adhesive layer (120) is disposed on the second major surface of the light redirecting film. A light diffusion film (140) comprises a first major surface (142) comprising a light diffusion surface and a second, opposed major surface (144). A plurality of discrete optical decoupling structures (146) project from the light diffusion surface and contact the optical adhesive layer. An air gap (148) is defined between the first major surface of the light diffusion film and the optical adhesive layer. Embodiments of optical film assemblies described herein are useful, for example, for hiding optical defects and improving the brightness uniformity of light emitted by a light source.

Abstract: A lightguide having opposing first and second major surfaces where the first major surface includes a plurality of extended features and a plurality of discrete features is described. The lightguide has a viewable area having a length at least 100 times a thickness of the lightguide. The extended features extend in a first in-plane direction across at least 90 percent of the length L of the viewable area. The discrete features are spaced apart along the length and width of the viewable area. The discrete features may be disposed in spaces between the extended features. The discrete features may have faces extending between and connecting adjacent extended features.
