Abstract: Optical films for redirecting light are described, and optical systems, such as display systems, incorporating such optical films are described. The optical film may include a first structured surface including a plurality of prismatic structures, and a second structured surface opposing the first structured surface and including a plurality of microstructures. An effective transmission of the optical film is not more than 1% less than a film with a comparable construction except for a smooth, non-structured second surface.

Abstract: A display system for sensing a finger of a user applied to the display system includes a display panel; a sensor for sensing the finger; a sensing light source configured to emit a first light having a first wavelength W1; and a reflective polarizer disposed between the display panel and the sensor. For a substantially normally incident light, an optical transmittance of the reflective polarizer versus wavelength for a first polarization state has a band edge such that for a first wavelength range extending from a smaller wavelength L1 to a greater wavelength L2 and including W1, where 30 nm≤L2−L1≤50 nm and L1 is greater than and within about 20 nm of a wavelength L3 corresponding to an optical transmittance of about 50% along the band edge, the optical transmittance has an average of greater than about 75%.

Abstract: An optical construction includes a lens film having an outermost structured first major surface and an opposing outermost substantially planar second major surface. The first major surface includes a plurality of microlenses. A radiation cured optically opaque mask layer is disposed on the second major surface of the lens film. The mask layer has an average thickness of less than about 10 microns and defines a plurality of laser-ablated through openings therein. The through openings are aligned to the microlenses in a one-to-one correspondence, such that for a light incident on the structured first major surface along an incident direction forming an incident angle with the second major surface, an optical transmittance of the optical construction as a function of a transmitted angle includes a first transmitted peak having a first peak transmittance T1≥40%. The first transmitted peak can be within about 10 degrees of the incident angle.

Abstract: An optical system includes a lens layer including a plurality of microlenses arranged along orthogonal first and second directions, and at least one optically opaque mask layer spaced apart from the lens layer and defining a plurality of through openings therein arranged along the first and second directions. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the microlenses and the openings, such that for each microlens, the microlens and corresponding openings are substantially centered on a straight line making a same oblique angle with the lens layer. An optical layer can include the lens layer and the optically opaque mask layer embedded in the optical layer.
