Abstract

See full text

An example optical filter may include an angle blocking layer Slaving a first angular light blocking range θAL relative to a normal axis, and an interference filter adjacent the angle blocking layer having a second angular light blocking range θIF relative to the normal axis. θIF and θAL at least partially overlap. The example optical filter has a predetermined light transmission zone comprising angles from 0° to a maximum light transmission angle θTmax relative to a normal axis of the major surface. The example optical filter has a predetermined angular light blocking zone θB, a union of θIF and θAL. An example optical filter may include an interference filter having an incidence angle-dependent reflection band and an absorbing layer having an absorption band. The incidence angle-dependent reflection band and the absorption band may overlap at least one wavelength at least one angle of incidence.
