    Abstract: A transparent projection film structure is provided. The transparent projection film structure includes a substrate layer and multiple light-guiding microstructures disposed on the substrate layer. Each microstructure has at least one inclined surface. The included angle between the inclined surface and the substrate layer defines the first angle. The microstructures are arranged along a direction defined by the first axis and along a direction defined by the second axis. The transparent projection film structure also includes multiple reflective layers disposed on the light-guiding microstructures. The included angle between one side of the orthographic projection of each light-guiding microstructure on the substrate layer and the first axis defines the second angle, which is variable and ranges from ?35°0 to +35°.

  • Publication number: 20250311496
    Abstract: A light-emitting array module includes a light source array and microlens units disposed on the light source array. The light source array includes light-emitting elements arranged in an array. Each microlens unit includes a microlens, a stray light guiding layer, and a stray light reflecting layer. The stray light guiding layer is disposed at a side surface of the microlens. A refractive index of a medium or space at an outer side of the stray light guiding layer is less than a refractive index of the stray light guiding layer. The stray light reflecting layer is disposed at a side of the stray light guiding layer adjacent to the light source array. Light emitted by the light-emitting elements corresponding to the microlens units and reflected into the stray light guiding layer by the stray light reflecting layer undergoes total internal reflection on a surface of the stray light guiding layer.
