  • Publication number: 20240192415
    Abstract: A multilayer optical film includes a plurality of optical repeat units where each of the optical repeat units includes at least individual first and second layers. The first and second layers in each of the optical repeat units have respective indices of refraction n1 and n2 and corresponding respective f-ratios f1 and f2 along a same in-plane first direction for a same first visible wavelength in a visible wavelength range extending from about 420 nm to about 680 nm, where n1>n2, and one of f1 and f2 is between about 0.55 and about 0.80. For illuminant D65 light incident on the multilayer optical film, the multilayer optical film reflects and transmits the incident light with the reflected and transmitted lights having color shifts below specified limits in a CIE L*a*b* color space. A glass laminate includes the multilayer optical film disposed between glass layers.
