Claim 0:
1. A curved optical film comprising a plurality of polymeric layers shaped along orthogonal first and second directions such that:
a first curve being an intersection of the optical film with a first plane orthogonal to the second direction and to a reference plane has a best-fit first circular arc subtending a first angle at a center of curvature of the first circular arc of greater than 180 degrees, the optical film having a maximum projected area in the reference plane; and
a second curve being an intersection of the optical film with a second plane orthogonal to the first direction and to the reference plane has a best-fit second circular arc subtending a second angle at a center of curvature of the second circular arc of at least 30 degrees,, wherein each location across at least 90% of a total area of the optical film has a reflectance greater than about 80% and a transmittance less than about 2% for normally incident light having a same predetermined wavelength and a same first polarization state.
