ABSTRACT:
There is provided an optical film. The optical film comprises a first surface defined by a first surface structure function modulated by a second surface structure function such that the first surface acts to diffuse light incident on the film, wherein the first surface structure function has a function of a microlens structure, and the second surface structure function has characteristics to provide the diffuse light. The optical film may be incorporated into a number of optical devices and structures.
