    Abstract: A reflective polarizer has a transmittance for a first polarization state having a band edge separating a first wavelength range extending at least from about 450 nm to about 900 nm and a second wavelength range extending at least from about 1100 nm to about 1300 nm. For the first polarization state, the reflective polarizer has an average transmittance in the first wavelength range less than about 10% and an average transmittance in the second wavelength range greater than about 80%; and for a second polarization state, the reflective polarizer has an average transmittance in the first wavelength range greater than about 40% and an average transmittance in the second wavelength range greater than about 80%. A display system includes the reflective polarizer and an infrared light source configured to emit an infrared light having a wavelength W1. The band edge has a band edge wavelength W2>W1.

    Abstract: A light control film includes a plurality of substantially parallel optical cavities. Each of the optical cavities has a height H along a thickness direction of the light control film and a minimum lateral dimension W along an in-plane width direction orthogonal to the thickness direction, where H≥W. The optical cavities are substantially filled with a liquid including a plurality of light absorbing particles configured to move along the thickness direction in response to one or more applied signals or fields such that the movement along the thickness direction causes each of the optical cavities to transition between a substantially opaque state and a substantially transparent state. A full viewing angle of the light control film increases when the optical cavities transition from the substantially opaque state to the substantially transparent state.
