A light managing screen may provide a rear projection screen, front projection
screen or component thereof. The screen may comprise a polymeric composition including
a first polymeric material, and a second polymeric material disposed as a plurality
of elongated structures within the first polymeric material. Each elongated structure
has a major axis and the major axes are substantially aligned. The first polymeric
material has an index of refraction that differs by at least 0.01 from an index
of refraction of the second polymeric material. In some instances, a pressure sensitive
adhesive material is selected as the first polymeric material. The orientation
of the elongated structures and the difference in indices of refraction results
in the polymeric composition scattering light asymmetrically.
