    Abstract: An optical construction includes a lens layer having a structured first major surface including a plurality of microlenses; an optical filter disposed on the lens layer; an optically opaque mask layer disposed between the lens layer and the optical filter and defining a plurality of openings therein; and a low index layer disposed on the optical filter. For a first wavelength in a visible wavelength range, a second wavelength that can be in an infrared wavelength range, the optical filter has: an optical transmission of greater than about 50% for the first wavelength for each of a first incident angle of less than about 10 degrees and a second incident angle of greater than about 30 degrees, and for the second wavelength, an optical transmission of less than about 15% for the first incident angle and of greater than about 30% for the second incident angle.

    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: Multilayer optical film reflective polarizers previously considered to have excessive off-axis color can provide adequate performance in an LC display in an “on-glass” configuration, laminated to a back absorbing polarizer of the display, without any light diffusing layer or air gap in such laminate. The reflective polarizer is a tentered-one-packet (TOP) multilayer film, having only one packet of microlayers, and oriented using a standard tenter such that birefringent microlayers in the film are biaxially birefringent. The thickness profile of optical repeat units (ORUs) in the microlayer packet is tailored to avoid excessive perceived color at normal and oblique angles. Color at high oblique angles in the white state of the display is reduced by positioning thicker ORUs closer to the absorbing polarizer, and by ensuring that, with regard to a boxcar average of the ORU thickness profile, the average slope from an ORU(600) to an ORU(645) does not exceed 1.8 times the average slope from an ORU(450) to the ORU(600).

    Abstract: This application describes a back-lit transmissive display including a transmissive display and a variable index light extraction layer optically coupled to a lightguide. The variable index light extraction layer has first regions of nanovoided polymeric material and second regions of the nanovoided polymeric material and an additional material. The first and second regions are disposed such that for light being transported at a supercritical angle in the lightguide, the variable index light extraction layer selectively extracts the light in a predetermined way based on the geometric arrangement of the first and second regions. The transmissive display may be a transmissive display panel or a polymeric film such as a graphic.

    Abstract: Extended area lighting devices include a light guide and diffractive surface features on a major surface of the light guide, at least some diffractive surface features adapted to couple guided-mode light out of the light guide. The diffractive features include first and second diffractive features disposed on respective first and second portions of the major surface. A patterned light transmissive layer, including a second light transmissive medium, optically contacts the second diffractive features but not the first diffractive features. A first light transmissive medium optically contacts the first but not the second diffractive features. The first and second portions may define indicia, and the first and second diffractive features provide low distortion for viewing objects through the light guide such that the indicia is not readily apparent to users when guided-mode light does not propagate within the light guide. Optical films having such diffractive features are also disclosed.
