Privacy Films for Curved Displays

A privacy film configured to cover a display and to reduce a viewing angle of the display, the privacy film comprising:

• a transparent substrate;
• a light-blocking layer formed on the transparent substrate, wherein the light-blocking layer comprises a plurality of opaque portions and a plurality of transparent portions;
• and
• a light-redirecting layer, wherein the light-blocking layer is interposed between the transparent substrate and the light-redirecting layer, wherein the light-redirecting layer has a first portion that redirects light at a first angle and a second portion that redirects light at a second angle that is different than the first angle.

A privacy film configured to cover a display with at least one curved portion and to reduce a viewing angle of the display, the privacy film comprising:

• a first transparent layer;
• a second transparent layer;
• and
• a light-blocking layer having a plurality of opaque portions interposed between the first and second transparent layers, wherein each opaque portion extends along a respective longitudinal axis that extends between the first and second transparent layers at a respective angle relative to the first transparent layer, and wherein the angles of the longitudinal axes gradually change from a first angle for a first opaque portion at a first position to a second angle for a second opaque portion at a second position that is different than the first position.
