Abstract
With increasing use of mobile displays outdoors, privacy-related issues have come to the fore. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a novel concept using directionally guided light transmission using double-sided asymmetric prism arrays for fabricating a privacy protection film for digital displays. The proposed film allows only the user in front of the display to see its contents using dual refraction in a prism array. Otherwise, when the display is viewed at an angle, it is difficult to recognize the contents due to the overlap of different letters. The optical path was analysed through ray-tracing simulations, and the performance of the film was quantified using an optical character recognition (OCR) method. To further enhance the effectiveness of the film, a metal film was applied on the vertical face of the micro prism arrays using an oblique deposition method. This metal-coated double-sided prism array film showed superior privacy-protecting performance compared to a conventional method based on the micro-louver structure.
