Light directing film |
摘要 |
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. |

1. A light directing film comprising a first structured major surface and an opposing second major surface, the first structured major surface comprising a plurality of unitary discrete structures, each unitary discrete structure comprising:
a light directing portion primarily for directing light and comprising:
a plurality of first side facets, each first side facet making an angle with a plane of the light directing film in a range from about 35 degrees to about 55 degrees;a first base defined by the plurality of first side facets and having a first minimum dimension; anda first maximum height; and a bonding portion primarily for bonding the light directing film to a surface, the bonding portion being disposed on and between the plurality of first side facets and comprising:
a plurality of second side facets, each second side facet making an angle with the plane of the light directing film greater than about 70 degrees;a second base defined by the plurality of second side facets and having a second minimum dimension less than about 10% of the first minimum dimension; anda second maximum height, a ratio of the second maximum height to the second minimum dimension being at least about 1.5; wherein the second major surface comprises a plurality of irregularly arranged structures. |
