Surface formed complex polymer lenses diffuse reflector

A diffuse light comprising a light source and a diffuse reflector comprising a reflective layer and a polymeric film comprising a plurality of complex lenses on a surface thereof.

A back lighted imaging media comprising a light source and a diffuse reflector comprising a reflective layer and a polymeric film comprising a plurality of convex and/or concave complex lenses on a surface thereof.

A liquid crystal device comprising a light source and a diffuse reflector comprising a reflective layer and a polymeric film comprising a plurality of complex lenses on a surface thereof wherein the film is located between the light source and the reflective layer.

A liquid crystal device component comprising a light source and a diffuse reflector comprising a reflective layer and a polymeric film comprising a plurality of complex lenses on a surface thereof.

A method for forming a plurality of polymeric complex lenses in a desired pattern on a reflective base comprising the step of coating a melted layer of the polymeric material onto the base and cooling the material while subjecting the layer to a contact with a form having a pattern corresponding to the negative of the desired pattern.

A method for forming a plurality of polymeric complex lenses in a desired pattern on a reflective base comprising continuous casting onto a chill roll of the polymeric material onto the base to a chill roll, and cooling the material while subjecting the layer to a contact with a form having a pattern corresponding to the negative of the desired pattern.
