The present disclosure provides an interference filter, a lithography system incorporating an interference filter, and a method of fabricating an interference filter. The interference filter includes a transparent substrate having a front surface and a back surface, a plurality of alternating material layers formed over the front surface of the transparent substrate that form a bandpass filter, and an anti-reflective structure formed over the back surface of the transparent substrate. The alternating material layers alternate between a relatively high refractive index material and a relatively low refractive index material.

A functional polarizing film includes a polarizing layer, at least one moisture-binding layer on a first surface of the polarizing layer, and at least one moisture-blocking layer disposed on a first surface of the moisture-binding layer.

The present invention provides a new member having a low refractive index as a substitute for an air layer, for example. The laminated film roll of the present invention includes a long laminated film roll including: an ultra-low refractive index layer having a refractive index of 1.20 or less; and a resin film, wherein the ultra-low refractive index layer is stacked on the resin film. The method of forming the long laminated film roll of the present invention includes steps of: preparing a liquid containing microporous particles; coating a resin film with the liquid; and drying the liquid applied on the resin film, for example.

A document, product, or package, such as a banknote, passport or the like comprises structures having dichroic effects that change color with viewing angle in both transmission and reflection. Such structures can be useful as security features that counter the ability to effectively use counterfeit documents, products, packages, etc.
