A rearview system may comprise a light sensor assembly having: a photosensor operable to detect light and generate a signal based, at least in part, on the detected light; a dichroic filter in optical communication with the photosensor and operable to filter light; and a rearview assembly having an electro-optic element may comprise an electro-optic medium and operable to variably change the amount of light passing through the electro-optic medium based, at least in part, on the signal. The dichroic filter may be configured to substantially inhibit light having a wavelength of less than 400 nm or greater than 650 nm from transmitting therethrough.

A two-color molding die includes: a fixed primary die; a fixed secondary die; and a movable die. The fixed primary die includes a first concave portion. The movable die includes a second concave portion facing the first concave portion, and a core pin that protrudes from a base end surface of the second concave portion toward a base end surface of the first concave portion to form a tubular primary molding cavity between the core pin and the first concave portion and the second concave portion. The fixed secondary die includes a third concave portion configured to form a concave secondary molding cavity.

Optical film stacks are described. More particularly, optical film stacks including a half-wave retardation layer are described. Achromatic half-wave retardation layers, including achromatic half-wave layers formed from a quarter-wave and a three-quarters-wave retardation layer, are described. Film stacks including reflective polarizers tuned to reduce wavelength dispersion of the half-wave retardation layer are also described.
