Display articles with diffractive, antiglare surfaces and methods of making the same

A method of making a display article, comprising:

• masking a substrate comprising a thickness and a primary surface with a mask;
• forming a diffractive surface region within the primary surface of the substrate with the mask;
• and
• removing the mask from the substrate,
• wherein the diffractive surface region comprises a plurality of structural features that comprises a plurality of different heights in a multimodal distribution, wherein the plurality of structural features further comprises a first portion of structural features at a first average height and a second portion of structural features at a second average height, and
• wherein the substrate exhibits a sparkle of less than 3%, as measured by pixel power deviation (PPD140) at an incident angle of 0° from normal, and a coupled distinctness of image (DOI) of less than 90% at an incident angle of 20° from normal.
