    Abstract: Multilayer reflecting polarizing films are disclosed having increased in-plane refractive index differences between adjacent microlayers along both the pass and block axis, and having negative refractive index differences between adjacent microlayers along the thickness or z-axis. Major front and back surfaces of the film exposed to air provide a Fresnel reflectivity component to the pass axis reflectivity, and the microlayers provide a microlayer component to the pass axis reflectivity, such microlayer component preferably having a reflectivity of p-polarized light that increases with incidence angle faster than the Fresnel reflectivity component decreases so as to substantially avoid off-axis gain peaks for p-polarized light. The films preferably utilize a relatively small total number of microlayers, arranged in a single coherent stack with monotonic optical repeat unit thickness profile, and at least some microlayers preferably include polyethylene naphthalate or a copolymer thereof.

    Abstract: A backlight including a front reflector disposed on a back reflector and defining a cavity therebetween. For a visible wavelength range and for a first incident angle of less than 5 degrees, the front reflector has an average transmittance of less than 20% for the incident light polarized along a first direction, and an average transmittance of between 20% and 85% for the incident light polarized along an orthogonal second direction. For a visible wavelength range and for a second incident angle of greater than 40 degrees, the front reflector has an average transmittance of less than 40% for each of the first and second directions. For at least a first wavelength in an infrared wavelength range, the front reflector has a transmittance of greater than about 40% for each of the first and second incident angles and for each of the first and second directions. For each of the first and second incident angles, for the incident light polarized along each of the first and second directions, the back reflector has a transmittance of greater than 30% for the first infrared wavelength, and an average transmittance of less than 20% in the visible range.

    Abstract: An optical film includes a plurality of polymeric layers. A plot of an average layer thickness versus a layer number of the polymeric layers includes a knee region separating a left region including at least N1 sequentially arranged polymeric layers where the polymeric layers have lower layer numbers from a middle region including at least N2 sequentially arranged polymeric layers where the polymeric layers have higher layer numbers. N1 is greater than about 50 and N2 is greater than about 10. A linear fit to the at least N1 sequentially arranged polymeric layers in the left region has a positive linear slope having a magnitude of greater than about 0.04 nm per layer number, and a linear fit to the at least N2 sequentially arranged polymeric layers in the middle region has a negative linear slope having a magnitude of greater than about 0.05 nm per layer number.

    Abstract: An optical stack for reflecting and transmitting light in a predetermined wavelength range includes stacked first and second optical films, the predetermined wavelength range defining a first wavelength range and a remaining wavelength range. For normally incident light and for each wavelength in a first wavelength range, the first optical film substantially reflects light having a first polarization state, and substantially transmits light having a second polarization state. For each of the first and second polarization states, for wavelengths in the first wavelength range, the second optical film has a maximum optical transmittance Tmax for light incident at a first incident angle, and an optical transmittance Tmax/2 for light incident at a second incident angle, where the second incident angle is greater than the first incident angle by less than about 50 degrees. For wavelengths in the remaining wavelength range, the second optical film reflects at least 80% of light.
