Abstract
An optical film for reducing at least one of sparkle and moire in a display system includes a structured first major surface that, in at least a first cross-section in a first plane substantially orthogonal to the optical film, has a sinusoidal shape having a variable pitch of greater than about 0.5 microns. For a substantially normally incident light and blue, green, and red wavelengths that are at least 50 nm apart from each other and are disposed within respective blue, green, and red wavelength ranges, optical transmissions of the optical film versus transmitted angle for the blue, green and red wavelengths have respective blue, green, and red transmission bands disposed at angles greater than about 1 degree and having respective blue, green, and red full width at half maxima (FWHMs), at least two of which at least partially overlap.
