This paper will present recent technological advances in the field of replicated, microstructured plastic optics, and their applications in display optics. A number of technology areas will be discussed, including moth‐eye Antireflective Microstructure™, High Precision Molding (HPM), high temperature polymers, and one‐piece, diffusive imaging screens. Applications discussed will include field lenses, condenser lenses, microlens arrays, and light integrators for LCD Projection systems, specialized optics for microdisplay applications, and imaging screens for photographic and rear projection systems.
