Abstract:
An optical article employing a lenticular lens array associated with a layer of optically transmissive material and illuminated by a light source. The layer of optically transmissive material includes discrete microscopic surface relief features formed in a surface opposite to the lenses forming the lenticular lens array. The discrete microscopic surface relief features deflect light propagating through the layer of optically transmissive material and direct the light out of the layer. The optical article may be further associated with a reflective surface and/or a photoabsorptive layer configured to partially transmit and partially absorb and convert light.

Claim (Index 17):
The light distribution system of  claim 1 , comprising a planar photoabsorptive layer extending parallel to the optically transmissive sheet and disposed in energy receiving relationship with respect to the optically transmissive sheet, wherein the photoabsorptive layer has a broad-area light input surface, an opposing broad-area light output surface, and a plurality of light harvesting elements distributed throughout a continuous layer of an optically transmissive material and configured for absorbing and converting light to a useful form of energy, wherein the thickness of the photoabsorptive layer is selected to cause at least a substantial portion of light received on the broad-area light input surface to pass through the photoabsorptive layer without being absorbed and to exit from the broad-area light output surface.
