Light scattering properties of back grating structures that composed of one-dimensional ZnO gratings and a flat 300-nm Al reflectors are investigated. Results show that grating structures cause an 8% reduction of the total reflectivity, as grating periods increasing from 620 to 1 435 nm, both the diffuse reflectivity and the haze parameter enhance drastically between 400 and 1 000 nm, whereas the diffraction angle at normal incidence reduce greatly, which agree with the values calculated from grating equation. It is concluded that rear gratings have the potential of scattering a substantial amount of incident light to specific angles and enlarging the optical path.
