<p>Various shapes of microstructures and patterns of microstructures are provided to reduce the visibility of fingerprints that occur on the surface of substrates due to handling. The microstructures may be formed directly on an exterior surface of a substrate to render the substrate fingerprint resistant, or formed on a surface of a polymeric sheet to provide a fingerprint-resistant protective layer that may be disposed onto a surface of a substrate (e.g., an optical display). The size, shape, orientation, and distribution of the microstructures across the surface of the substrate may be optimized to enhance the durability of the microstructures and/or to impart a diffusing surface to the substrate for the particular application of the substrate. Density and distribution of the microstructures on a transparent protective layer are also optimized in order to minimize the appearance of haze and Moiré when disposed on a surface of an optical display.</p> |
