    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: An optical stack (400) having a plurality of alternating polymeric layers (401, 402) is described. The alternating layers may be alternating birefringent (syndiotactic polystyrene, sPS) and isotropic (CoPENa) layers, or alternating positively and negatively birefringent layers. Birefringent layers are made using polymers which form optically symmetrical crystallites upon stretching of the polymer. The optical stack has a large refractive index difference in the x-direction (the stretching direction) and small refractive index differences in the y- and z-directions (the non-stretching directions). The optical stack can be made using standard film tentering methods and may be a multilayer reflective polarizer.

    摘要: A projection system is disclosed, in which a screen may have improved rejection of ambient light by having a high reflectivity at low angles of incidence for a polarization parallel to that of the projector, a low reflectivity at high angles of incidence for a polarization parallel to that of the projector, and a low reflectivity at both low and high angles of incidence for a polarization perpendicular to that of the projector. In some embodiments, for p-polarized light polarized parallel to the projector, the power reflectivity is high at low angles of incidence and decreases to a low value at high angles of incidence. In some embodiments, for p-polarized light polarized perpendicular to the projector, the power reflectivity is low at low angles of incidence. In some embodiments, for s-polarized light polarized perpendicular to the projector, the power reflectivity remains low at all angles of incidence. In some embodiments, the screen includes a thin film structure that has alternating quarter-wave layers of isotropic and birefringent materials, which are refractive-index-matched for light polarized perpendicular to the projector, which form a high reflector at normal incidence for light polarized parallel to the projector, and which exhibit Brewster's angle effects for p-polarized light polarized parallel to the projector at high angles of incidence. The Brewster's angle effect may be reached by use of a light-scattering layer that increases the effective incident refractive index.

    摘要: A light diffusing optical construction is disclosed. The optical construction includes a symmetric optical diffuser that scatters light in a first direction with a first viewing angle AH and in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction with a second viewing angle AV, where AV is substantially equal to AH. The symmetric optical diffuser includes an optically transparent first layer and a plurality of randomly arranged optically transparent beads partially embedded in the first layer leaving portions of the beads exposed. The optical construction also includes a specular reflector that reflects light that is not scattered by the symmetric optical diffuser. The specular reflector has a first average reflectance Ro in the visible at zero incident angle and a second average reflectance R60 in the visible at 60 degree incident angle. Ro/R60 is at least about 1.5. The optical construction also includes a light absorbing layer that absorbs light that is not reflected by the specular reflector.
