1. A diffuser structure comprising:
- a structure having at least a first part and a second part, the first part diffusing light passing through the first part and including at least a first material, the second part providing at least one function other than diffusing light passing through the second part and including at least a second material, wherein at least a portion of the at least a first material adjacent the second part is crosslinked to at least a portion of the at least a second material adjacent the first part.

Abstract
A structure including an integrally formed diffuser may be formed by depositing a first layer including a first polymerizable material and another material, and depositing a second layer including a second polymerizable material adjacent the first layer. The first and second layers are simultaneously irradiated with light that causes the first polymerizable material and the second polymerizable material to polymerize. There is not an optical boundary between the first and second layers since the first and second materials are polymerized together.

22. A method of forming an integrated diffuser comprising:
-
depositing a first layer including a first polymerizable material and another material;
depositing a second layer including a second polymerizable material adjacent the first layer; and
simultaneously irradiating the first layer and the second layer with light that causes the first polymerizable material and the second polymerizable material to polymerize, wherein the another material causes light diffusion once the first polymerizable material is polymerized by the simultaneously irradiating. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36)
