Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method of making a solid film. Viscous material (163) is input into a nip between a patterned roller (165) and a belt (167). The nip between the patterned roller (165) and belt (167) is facilitated by a compliant roller (169). Accordingly, a film may be produced that has discrete optical elements and a smooth backside.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polymeric optical film comprising a base provided with integral optical features on at least one side, wherein the features have two or more sides that form a ridge line, wherein the optical film has light leakage through crossed polarizers of less than 1.0%.

Abstract: A touch screen comprising a flexible sheet comprising a substantially planar surface and integral compressible spacer dots formed thereon, where each spacer dot comprises a base cross section in the substantially planar surface of the flexible sheet defined by a first point or set of connected points intersecting an axis in the substantially planar surface, a second opposed point or set of connected points intersecting the axis, and first and second continuous edge segments connecting the first and second points or end points of the first and second sets of points on opposite sides of the axis, wherein the spacer dot has a variable height perpendicular to the substantially planar surface along the axis, and wherein the surface of the spacer dot extending above the base cross section is not equidistant from the mid-point of the axis between the intersections of the first and second points or sets of connected points and the axis.

Abstract: A light redirecting optical device comprises a polymeric film containing a light entry and a light exit surface and bearing on the light exit surface convex macrostructures that have a length, diameter, or other major dimension of at least 25 micrometers, wherein a major portion of the macrostructure surfaces is covered with nano-nodules having an average maximum cord length in a plane perpendicular to the direction of light travel of less than 1200 nm
