Abstract:
The present invention provides an optical film composite that comprises a linear reflective polarizing film; a birefringent polymeric substrate layer placed on the reflective polarizing film; and a TF (turning film) layer placed beneath the reflective polarizing film. The optical axis of the birefringent polymeric substrate layer is oriented with respect to the transmission axis of the reflective polarizing film to have 0° to 25° of an angular difference between the axes. The optical film composite can be employed in LCD devices to improve optical performance.

Abstract:
A backlight includes a light source and one or more light recycling films. The light source generates light that exits the light source with an angular exit distribution. The light recycling films are oriented in relation to the light source so that the prism peaks of the recycling films are oriented away from the light source. The recycling films have a range of optimal incident angles that allow light to pass through the recycling films without recycling. The components of the light source, the characteristics of the recycling films, or both, are configured to control the overlap between the exit distribution of the light source and the optimal incident angle range of the recycling films.
