    摘要: A reflective film includes microlayers arranged into optical repeat units, each optical repeat unit including a negatively birefringent microlayer. The microlayers are tailored to provide the film with on-axis polarizing properties, such that normally incident light polarized along a block axis is substantially reflected and normally incident light polarized along a pass axis is substantially transmitted. On-axis transmission for the block axis may be 70%. The microlayers also provide the film with angularly dependent polarizing properties: p-polarized light incident in a block plane of incidence is substantially reflected at near-normal angles but substantially transmitted at an oblique angle. The film transmits unpolarized light incident in this plane more strongly at the oblique angle than at normal. The films can be used in direct-lit backlights, luminaires, and similar lighting systems for flux leveling to promote spatial brightness uniformity.

    摘要: A display device includes a display panel and a biaxial reflective polarizer having a plurality of layers characterized by a varying optical thickness. A majority of the layers of the biaxial reflective polarizer having a smaller optical thickness are disposed closer to the display panel than the layers having a larger optical thickness.

    摘要: The present invention is applicable to optical assemblies for use with direct-lit backlights that exhibit a lower transmission for light of normal incidence as compared to the transmission of light at higher angles of incidence, to accomplish a leveling effect of the light across the display. In one embodiment, an optical assembly includes a reflector having an internal Brewster angle and a reflective polarizer having orthogonal reflection and transmission axes. In another embodiment, a direct lit backlight assembly includes one or more lamps, a reflector having an internal Brewster angle, where a major surface of the reflector is facing at least one of the one or more lamps, and a light redirecting layer.

    摘要: A backlight unit (10) has a hollow cavity (16) instead of employing a light guide. One or more light sources (24a-c), such as LEDs, are arranged to emit light into the cavity, which is formed by a front (12) and a back reflector (14). The backlight is typically of the edge-lit type. The backlight can have a large area, is thin and consists of fewer components than conventional devices. Its design permits light recycling. The unit emits light of a predefined polarisation and can be arranged to have desired horizontal/vertical viewing angle properties. Light is uniformly distributed within the guide and the light output (20b, 2Od) is substantially collimated. Such backlights occupy a specific region in a parameter space defined by two parameters: first, the ratio of the output emission area to the total source emission area should lie in the range 0.0001 to 0.1; and second, the ratio of the SEP to the height of the cavity (H) should be in the range 3 to 10, where the SEP is an average plan view source separation, a special measure of the average spacing of light sources in the plane of the unit. There is also a discussion on the required number of light sources N, their arrangement near the periphery of the cavity, as well as the shape and size of the output emission area. A required minimum brightness uniformity (VESA) value to be maintained, when a subset of Madjacent sources is switched off (where M is at least 0.1 N or M>2 or both), is also disclosed. The backlight can be used for a display or for general lighting purposes.
