Abstract:
A light source includes a lightguide comprising a top side comprising an optical film, a bottom side comprising a diffuse reflector, and an input side extending between the top and bottom sides; and an illumination source disposed proximate the input side of the lightguide, the optical film having adjacent first and second zones, each zone extending substantially an entire thickness of an optical stack or at least one optical packet of the optical film, light entering the lightguide from the light source propagating within the lightguide and being either reflected or transmitted by the optical film primarily by optical interference, wherein for at least one first incidence angle and at least one wavelength, the first and second zones of the optical film have substantially equal optical transmittance, and for at least one second incidence angle and at least one wavelength, the second zone has substantially greater optical transmittance than the first zone of the optical film.
Abstract:
Light assembly having reflector (17), a light source (22), an outer light cover (12) having a first color zone (15) and a second, different color or clear zone (16), and an inner lens (19) with a transflective surface. Embodiments of light assemblies described herein are useful, for example, as signs, backlights, displays, task lighting, luminaire, and vehicle (e.g., cars, trucks, airplanes, etc.) components. Vehicle comprising light assemblies include those where the light assembly is a vehicle tail light assembly.

Abstract:
A blend comprising polyolefin and hydrocarbon resin, wherein the polyolefin is semicrystalline and has a suitable degree of crystallinity and molecular weight, or the polyolefin is amorphous and has sufficiently high molecular weight, and sufficient hydrocarbon resin is present in the blend, so that a film made from the blend is substantially vinyl-like and non-elastomeric. Some of the films are also conformable, drapable or affinely deformable by hand.
