Abstract

An optical film assembly is applied to a light emitting unit which has at least two light sources for emitting light beams respectively. The optical film assembly includes a first prism element and a first diffusion element. The first prism element, which is a sheet thinner than 0.5 mm, has a first substrate and at least one first prism layer disposed on the first substrate. The first diffusion element, which is a sheet thinner than 0.5 mm, is disposed adjacent to the first prism element. The light beams are emitted to the first prism element or the first diffusion element directly. The light sources have a plurality of projection points which are projected to a light-emitting surface of the optical film assembly. The gain of each projection point is less than 1.

Claims
