An optical element has an area in which a transmittance varies, includes first and second antireflection layers, and an absorption layer disposed between the first and second antireflection layers, and satisfies certain conditions.

A glass plate structure includes: a glass plate having first and second major surfaces; an antireflection film; and a print portion. The first major surface includes: a curved surface region that is a region of an end portion of the glass plate, is curved convexly, and has a radius of curvature r that is 50% or more of a thickness t of the glass plate; and a flat surface region that is connected to the curved surface region. The antireflection film is a laminate in which a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer are laminated alternately. The number of layers of the antireflection film is 12 or smaller. A total thickness of the antireflection film in the flat surface region is 400 nm or smaller. A thickness of an outermost layer of the antireflection film in the flat surface region is 90 nm or larger.

An optical sensing device includes a substrate, a sensing element layer, a light-shielding layer, and a light absorbing layer. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The sensing element layer is disposed on the first surface and includes multiple sensing elements. The light-shielding layer is disposed on the sensing element layer and has multiple openings. An orthogonal projection of the opening on the substrate overlaps an orthogonal projection of the sensing element on the substrate. The light absorbing layer is disposed on the second surface. An electronic apparatus including the optical sensing device is also provided.

The present invention provides a UV antireflective coating stack for ophthalmic lenses. The antireflective coating stack is deposited by sputtering, which lowers the reflectivity of the antireflective stack in the UV range and maintains low reflectivity in the visible range. The antireflective coating stack offers improved thermo-mechanical performance as compared to evaporation-based UV antireflective stacks.
