TEXTURED REGION OF A SUBSTRATE TO REDUCE SPECULAR REFLECTANCE INCORPORATING SURFACE FEATURES WITH AN ELLIPTICAL PERIMETER OR SEGMENTS THEREOF, AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

Abstract:

A substrate for a display article includes: a primary surface; a textured region on at least a portion of the primary surface, the textured region comprising surface features that reflect a random distribution, each of the surface features comprising a perimeter that is parallel to a base-plane extending through a thickness of the substrate below the textured region, wherein the perimeter is elliptical. The textured region can further include (i) one or more higher surfaces residing at a higher mean elevation from the base-plane and (ii) one or more lower surfaces residing at a lower mean elevation from the base-plane that is closer to the base-plane than the higher mean elevation. The higher mean elevation can differ from the lower mean elevation by a distance within a range of 0.05 .mu.m to 0.70 .mu.m.
