Optical Film Design

Microsharp has the capability to develop new optical structures including micro prismatic films, lenticular films, diffusers, microlens structures and nano structured self cleaning films.

We conduct analyses using a range of software, including ray tracing and other analyses with Zemax.

For specific applications we have developed in-house software. For example it has software capable of generating optimised surface structures to create diffraction effects capable of masking heavily pixelated microdisplays (depixelators).
