Claim 0:
1. A densified nanoim print film, comprising:
a base nanoimprint film comprising nanoparticles, wherein the nanoparticles comprise zirconium oxide, niobium oxide, tantalum oxide, hafnium oxide, chromium oxide, silicon nitride, or any combination thereof; and
a metal oxide disposed on the base nanoimprint film and in between the nanoparticles, wherein the metal oxide comprises niobium oxide, chromium oxide, scandium oxide, yttrium oxide, praseodymium oxide, magnesium oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or any combination thereof, and wherein:
the nanoparticles and the metal oxide contain different materials; and
the refractive index of the densified nanoimprint film is about 2% to about 30% greater than the refractive index of the base nanoim print film.
