More Information
Summary:Disclosed herein are light guide plates (100, 100′, 100″) comprising a transparent substrate (110) having an edge surface (150), a light emitting first major surface (160), and an opposing second major surface (170); and a polymeric film (120) disposed on at least one of the first (160) and second (170) major surfaces of the transparent substrate, wherein the polymeric film (120) comprises a plurality of microstructures (130) and/or a plurality of light extraction features. At least one light source (140) may be coupled to the edge surface (150) of the transparent substrate (110). Display and lighting devices comprising such light guide plates are further disclosed, as well as methods for manufacturing such light guide plates.
