Abstract:
1. An Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shield and contrast enhancement film for a direct-view display having a direct-view display panel and an outer panel that provides an outer surface for the direct-view display; a conductive mesh including an array of gaps therein, the conductive mesh configured to shield at least some of the EMI that is emitted by the direct-view display panel; and an optical redirecting structure that is configured to redirect at least some optical radiation that is emitted from the direct-view display panel that would strike the conductive mesh, through the gaps in the conductive mesh; the EMI shield being configured to mount between the direct-view display panel and the outer panel such that the optical redirecting structure is adjacent the direct-view display panel and the conductive mesh is remote from the direct-view display panel; and a substrate having first and second opposing sides; an array of optical microstructures on the first side of the substrate; and an optically blocking film including an array of apertures therein on the second side of the substrate, the contrast enhancement film being configured to mount between the direct-view display panel and the outer panel.
