    Abstract: A light control film includes a first portion and a second portion laminated to the first portion. The first portion includes a first functional substrate and a plurality of first louvers formed on the first functional substrate. The first functional substrate includes at least one of an optically active layer and a barrier layer. The second portion includes a second functional substrate disposed distal to the first functional substrate and a plurality of second louvers formed on the second functional substrate. The second functional substrate includes at least one of an optically active layer and a barrier layer. The plurality of first louvers extend along a first direction and the plurality of second louvers extend along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are inclined to each other at an angle that lies within a range from about 70 degrees to about 110 degrees.

    Abstract: An optical system includes a lens layer having a first major surface including first and second microlenses and a first light absorbing layer. The light absorbing layer defines first and second through openings with a one-to-one correspondence between the first and second microlenses and respective first and second through openings. Each pair of first microlens and first through opening centered on a first optical axis makes a first angle with a normal to the first light absorbing layer. Each pair of second microlens and second through opening centered on a second optical axis makes a second angle, different than the first angle, with the normal to the first light absorbing layer. A light source emits light incident on the first major surface side. The emitted light includes first and second light beams carrying respective first and second information and propagating substantially parallel to the first and second optical axes, respectively.

    Abstract: An optical construction includes a lens film having outermost first and second major surfaces. The first major surface includes a plurality of microlenses. A multilayer mask having an average thickness of less than about 0.5 times an average focal length of the microlenses and an optical density of greater than about 2 is disposed on the second major surface. The multilayer mask includes polymeric first and second mask layers where each of the first and second mask layers has an optical density of greater than about 0.3. The multilayer mask defines a plurality of laser-ablated through openings therein that are aligned to the microlenses in a one-to-one correspondence. An optical transmittance of the optical construction as a function of the incident angle has a transmitted peak having a peak transmittance T1 and a corresponding full width at 20 percent of maximum W1, where T1/W1 ≥ 2.4%/degree.
