Abstract:
Articles are described such as optical films and optical film stacks 2000. The articles include a substrate 2070 and a primer layer 2075 disposed on the substrate wherein the primer layer comprises a polyacrylate and a nitrogen-containing polymer. The article further includes an adhesive layer 2060 disposed onto the primer layer wherein the adhesive layer comprises a polyacrylate component. In some embodiments, the adhesive is further bonded to a second substrate 2010 or a release liner.
Abstract:
Light directing film is disclosed. The light directing film includes a first structured major surface and an opposing second major surface. The first structured major surface includes a plurality of unitary discrete structures. Each unitary discrete structure includes a light directing portion that is primarily for directing light and includes a plurality of first side facets. Each first side facet makes an angle with the plane of the light directing film in a range from about 35 degrees to about 55 degrees. Each light directing portion also includes a first base that is defined by the plurality of first side facets and has a first minimum dimension. Each light directing portion also has a first maximum height. Each unitary discrete structure also includes a bonding portion that is primarily for bonding the light directing film to a surface. The bonding portion is disposed on and between the plurality of first side facets and includes a plurality of second side facets. Each second side facet makes an angle with the plane of the light directing film greater than about 70 degrees. The bonding portion also includes a second base that is defined by the plurality of second side facets and has a second minimum dimension less than about 10% of the first minimum dimension. The bonding portion also has a second maximum height. The ratio of the second maximum height to the second minimum dimension is at least about 1.5.
