Abstract: Superhydrophobic film articles have a microstructured surface. The microstructured surface is free of nanostructures and contains a random arrangement of protrusions that form cavities. The superhydrophobicity is achieved by the selection of the materials of which the microstructures are formed or by a surface coating on the microstructured surface.

The reflective polarizer includes an outer layer including a plurality of first particles partially protruding from a first major surface thereof to form a structured major surface. A first optically diffusive layer is conformably disposed on the structured major surface. The optically diffusive film includes a second optically diffusive layer including a plurality of nanoparticles dispersed therein, and a structured layer including a structured major surface. For a substantially normally incident light and a visible wavelength range from about 450 nm to about 650 nm and an infrared wavelength range from about 930 nm to about 970 nm, the second optically diffusive layer has an average specular transmittance Vs in the visible wavelength range and an average specular transmittance Is in the infrared wavelength range, where Is/Vs ≥ 2.5.

Abstract: An optical construction includes a lens film having opposing first and second major surfaces. The first major surface includes a plurality of microlenses arranged along orthogonal directions. An optically opaque mask layer including a UV-cured polymer material is disposed on the second major surface of the lens film and defines a plurality of laser-ablated through openings therein. The openings are aligned to the microlenses in a one-to-one correspondence. For a substantially collimated light incident on the first major surface along an incident direction, an optical transmittance of the optical construction as a function of a transmitted angle includes a first transmitted peak having a first transmittance T1 at a first transmitted angle within about 10 degrees of the incident direction, and a second transmitted peak having a second transmittance T2 at a second transmitted angle between about 30 to 60 degrees of the incident direction, wherein T2/T1 ≥ 0.01.

Abstract: An optical element including an array of microlenses, a pinhole mask, and a wavelength selective filter is described. The pinhole mask includes an array of pinholes with each pinhole in the array of pinholes aligned with a microlens in the first array of microlenses. The wavelength selective filter is adapted to transmit a first light ray having a first wavelength and transmitted from a first microlens in the array of microlenses through a first pinhole in the array of pinholes aligned with the first microlens, and to attenuate a second light ray having the first wavelength and transmitted from the first microlens through a second pinhole in the array of pinholes aligned with a second microlens in the first array of microlenses adjacent to the first microlens.

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.
