Disclosed herein is an optical article including a multilayer optical film of alternating layers of first and second optical layers, wherein the first and second optical layers have refractive indices along at least one axis that differ by at least 0.04; and a protective layer disposed on an outer surface of the multilayer optical film, the protective layer having a thickness of less than about 0.5 um and including crosslinked hydroxylated polymer. The optical article may further include a microstructured layer disposed on an outer surface of the multilayer optical film opposite the protective layer. Also disclosed herein are a method of making the optical article and a display device including the optical article. |
