    Abstract: A backlight includes a plurality of discrete light sources configured to face a display, and an optical film disposed on the light sources and below and proximate a first plane. The optical film includes a plurality of through-holes extending between first and second major surfaces of the optical film. Each through-hole has a first opening at the first major surface, and a second opening at the second major surface with an open area, A2. Each through-hole has length, H, such that H/A2 is greater than or equal to about 0.13. The light from the light sources has a first overall peak intensity in the first plane, and a first brightness uniformity across the first plane, and in the absence of the optical film, the light from the light sources has a second overall peak intensity in the first plane, and a second brightness uniformity across the first plane, such that the first and second overall peak intensities are different by less than about 20%, and the first brightness uniformity exhibits an improvement over the second brightness uniformity by at least 2.8%.

    Abstract: Optical diffusing films are made by microreplication from a structured surface tool. The tool is made using a 2-part electroplating process, wherein a first electroplating procedure forms a first metal layer with a first major surface, and a second electroplating procedure forms a second metal layer on the first metal layer, the second metal layer having a second major surface with a smaller average roughness than that of the first major surface. The second major surface can function as the structured surface of the tool. A replica of this surface can then be made in a major surface of an optical film to provide light diffusing properties. The structured surface and/or its constituent structures can be characterized in terms of various parameters such as optical haze, optical clarity, Fourier power spectra of the topography along orthogonal in-plane directions, ridge length per unit area, equivalent circular diameter (ECD), and/or aspect ratio.

    Abstract: A microreplicated optical film (919) for use in optical displays, backlights, and the like includes a prismatic layer (950) carried by a substrate (920). In use, the optical film may be combined in a system with other components such that the optical film is positioned between an extended light source (902) and a polarizer (904). In such cases, if the substrate has an appreciable birefringence, a subtle but characteristic colored pattern known as substrate color mura (SCM) may be detected by a user of the system. To reduce or eliminate the SCM with little or no adverse effect on brightness enhancement capabilities of the optical film, the optical film may include an embedded structured surface (933) between the substrate and the prismatic layer. In order to avoid another optical artifact known as sparkle, at least 80% of the embedded structured surface is preferably occupied by features such as defocusing lenslets or random planar facets.

    Abstract: An optical system includes an extended illumination source configured to emit light from an extended emission surface thereof and a light redirecting layer disposed on the extended emission surface. The light redirecting layer has a structured major surface that includes a regular array of light redirecting structures, each light redirecting structure including a plurality of facets; and a plurality of discrete spaced apart window segments. The optical system includes a plurality of reflective segments where each reflective segment is disposed on a corresponding window segment. For substantially normally incident light, each reflective segment has a total: average optical reflectance of at least 30% in a visible wavelength range extending from about 420 nm to about 650 nm; and optical transmittance of at least 10% for at least one infrared wavelength in an infrared wavelength range extending from about 800 nm to about 1200 nm.

    Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure relates to light control films. The present disclosure also relates to assemblies incorporating light control films. In some embodiments, the light control films of the present disclosure regulate transmission of one or more of visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared light that reaches a substrate after exiting the light control film. The light control film comprises waveguiding channels (130) which collect light incident under larger incidence angles towards the surface opposite the incidence surface. The channels are surrounded by a material (140) having a lower refractive index than the one the channel material and can comprise an absorbing pigment.
