Abstract
A light transmissive substrate for transforming a Lambertian light distribution includes a base film having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, a plurality of first microstructures disposed on the first side of the base film and a plurality of first valleys. Each of the first valleys is defined by a pair of adjacent first microstructures. A filler material is disposed in the plurality of first valleys and defines a substantially planar surface spaced from and substantially parallel to the first side of the base film. The substrate also includes a plurality of second microstructures disposed on the substantially planar surface of the filler material and a plurality of second valleys. Each of the second valleys is defined by a pair of adjacent second microstructures.
