Abstract: A light collimating and diffusing film and a method for making the film are provided. The film includes a plastic layer having a first side and a second side opposite the first side and at least a first peripheral edge. The first side has a first textured surface, wherein between 7 to 20 percent of slope angles on the first textured surface proximate a first axis has a value between zero and five degrees. The first axis is substantially parallel to the first peripheral edge. The plastic layer collimates light propagating therethrough.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the diffuser film comprises a polymer composition, a first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The diffuser film is capable of diffusing light. The diffuser film, without a coating, has a film haze of about 10% to about 80%, and has no visible mura defects under panel observation as determined with a backlight display having a center brightness of about 6,000 nit to about 6,300 nit.
