A light-diffusing film includes a particle layer containing a polymer matrix having dispersed therein an effective amount of light-diffusing particles, and having a thickness in the range of 5 mil to 20 mil. The film may optionally also include a second polymeric layer adjacent and substantially coextensive with the particle layer, the second layer being translucent and having a thickness in the range of 5 mil to 50 mil. A third translucent layer may also be added. Molded articles having the inventive films on their surface, and methods of making them, are also disclosed. |
