    Abstract: An optical system includes an optical film curved about a first axis and a light control film curved about the first axis. The light control film can be disposed between a light source and the optical film. The optical film includes a microstructured first major surface and an opposing second major surface. The microstructured first major surface defines a linear Fresnel lens including a plurality of Fresnel elements extending longitudinally along the first axis. The first major surface of the optical film faces the light control film. The light control film can include a plurality of alternating optically transmissive and optically absorptive regions extending longitudinally along the first axis such that in a cross-section orthogonal to the first axis, for at least a majority of the optically transmissive regions, a centerline between adjacent optically absorptive regions is substantially normal to a major surface of the light control film.

    Abstract: An optical construction includes a lens film having a structured first major surface having a plurality of microlenses and an opposing second major surface. A light absorbing layer is disposed on the second major surface and has an average thickness of greater than about 0.5 microns and an optical density of greater than about 3. A plurality of openings are provided in the light absorbing layer. A major surface of the light absorbing layer includes a plurality of irregular features imparting an average mean square height Sq of greater than about 0.05 microns. In a cross-section, the opening includes opposing first and second sidewalls having respective first and second best linear fits with respective r-squared values R1 and R2 and respective linear slope magnitudes S1 and S2, each of R1 and R2 greater than about 0.8. S1 and S2 within 30% of each other.

    Abstract: A light control film comprises a light input surface and a light output surface; alternating transmissive regions and absorptive regions disposed between the light input surface and the light output surface; and TIR cladding layers. The TIR cladding layer having a refractive index, nTIR. The transmissive regions alternate between high refractive index transmissive regions having a refractive index, n2, and low refractive index transmissive regions having a refractive index, n1. The absorptive regions comprise a core having a refractive index, ncore, adjacent an AR cladding layer; wherein n1
