    摘要: Optical films having structured surfaces are used, inter alia, for managing the propagation of light within a display. As displays become larger, it becomes more important that the film be reinforced so as to maintain rigidity. An optical film of the invention has a first layer comprising inorganic fibers embedded within a polymer matrix. A second layer having a structured surface, for providing an optical function to light passing therethrough, is attached to the first layer. The film may have various beneficial optical properties, for example, light that propagates substantially perpendicularly through the first layer may be subject to no more than a certain level of haze or light incident on the film may be subject to a minimum value of brightness gain. Various methods of manufacturing the films are described.

    摘要: Optical bodies, for example optical films, are formed with inorganic fibers embedded within a polymer matrix. In some embodiments, the refractive indices of the inorganic fibers and the polymer matrix are matched. There need be no bonding agent between the fibers and the polymer matrix. The inorganic fibers may be glass fibers, ceramic fibers, or glass-ceramic fibers. A structure may be provided on the surface of the optical body, for example to provide optical power to light passing through the optical body. The body may be formed using a continuous process, with a continuous layer of the inorganic fibers being embedded within the matrix which is then solidified.

    摘要: A composite polymer fiber comprises a polymer filler material and a plurality of polymer scattering fibers disposed within the filler material. At least one of the filler material and the scattering fibers is formed of a birefringent material. The refractive indices of the filler material and the scattering fibers can be substantially matched for light incident in a first polarization state on the composite polymer fiber and unmatched for light incident in an orthogonal polarization state. The scattering fibers may be arranged to form a photonic crystal within the composite fiber. The composite fibers may be extruded and may be formed into a yarn, a weave or the like. If the filler material is soluble, it may be washed out of the yarn or weave, and the scattering fibers may then be infiltrated with a resin that is subsequently cured.
