Optical film having a structured surface with offset prismatic structures
First Claim
1. An optical film having a first surface and a structured surface, the structured surface comprising a plurality of prismatic structures, each structure having a base including at least two first sides and at least two second sides, a first side having a different length than a second side, wherein each of the plurality of prismatic structures comprises five substantially planar surfaces, four surfaces being attached to the base, each of the four surfaces positioned to angle in from the base toward the fifth surface;
- wherein at least one of the first and second sides of at least one of the plurality of prismatic structures is offset with respect to at least one of the first and second sides of at least one other prismatic structure; and
wherein light enters the optical film through either the surface or the structured surface.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to optical films having a first surface and a structured surface, the structured surface comprising a plurality of prismatic structures. Each prismatic structure has a base including at least two first sides and at least two second sides. At least one of the first and second sides of at least one of the plurality of prismatic structures is offset with respect to at least one of the first and second sides of at least one other prismatic structure.
