Light-scattering Materials

Light-Scattering Materials is a class of optical materials that, by virtue of microscopic inhomogeneities or engineered structures, differentially redirect incident light rays in multiple directions through elastic scattering processes, thereby modifying the spatial distribution, intensity, or angular profile of transmitted or reflected light.
