We have investigated a new design for a turning film used in combination with wedge‐shaped light guide plates. The selected design has a top periodic lenticular structure that is in registration with the bottom periodic prisms. Relative registration shift in the prisms and the top lenticular structure was found to be beneficial. Use of such turning film drastically enhances the on‐axis brightness.
