Abstract:
A multilayer optical film including a first layer having an index of refraction n1 at a wavelength λ in a range from about 580 nm to about 650 nm, and a second layer having an index of refraction n2 at λ is described. The first and second layers define an interface therebetween comprising a two-dimensional grating. The grating may have an average height H such that |n1−n2|*H is in a range from 0.24 micrometers to 0.3 micrometers. Optical systems including the multilayer optical film are described. A subpixel in a display surface of the optical system may be diffracted into a zero diffraction order and a plurality of first diffraction orders where the intensities of the zero and first diffraction orders are with 10% of each other at λ. The optical system may have a modulation transfer function greater than 0.4 at 10 line pairs per millimeter.
