The invention relates to an ophthalmic device (1) satisfying a prescription for at least one power correction for a wearer, to a method for manufacturing it and to a use of a semi-finished hybrid ophthalmic lens.

The device comprises at least one electro-active cell (3) which comprises a rear shell (4) and a front shell (5) defining for the device a backside surface and an opposite front surface, the shells (4 and 5) being provided with transparent electrodes and delimiting a sealed cavity.

According to the invention, the rear shell (4) derives from a semi-finished hybrid ophthalmic lens comprising: a front mineral part having a first mineral face proximal to the front shell (5) and a second mineral face opposite to the first mineral face, and a rear plastic part attached to the front mineral part, the rear plastic part having a front plastic face bonded to said second mineral face and an unsurfaced rear plastic face which defines said backside surface and is configured to impart said prescription to the ophthalmic device, after surfacing said semi-finished hybrid ophthalmic lens.

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.

As a first aspect, provided is a hybrid lens for which peeling and shifting of a glass and a resin lens do not easily occur, and for which floating of an adhesive layer and peeling between the glass and resin lens do not easily occur even when the hybrid lens is exposed to a high temperature environment. As a second aspect, provided is an easily produced hybrid lens in which a glass and a resin lens are laminated, and in which the resin lens and a light-shielding portion are laminated with good precision.

The hybrid lenses 11 and 12 each include a glass substrate 3, a resin lens 2, and an adhesive layer 4 provided between the glass substrate 3 and the resin lens 2. In the hybrid lens 11, the glass transition temperature of the resin lens 2 is higher than the glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer 4, and the difference between the glass transition temperature of the resin lens 2 and the glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer 4 is from 97 to 150° C. The hybrid lens 12 further includes a metal compound layer 52 provided between the glass substrate 3 and the resin lens 2.

A protective coating for transparent panels, especially beneficial for transparent panels covering digital displays. The protective coating includes an adhesion layer formed on a surface of the transparent panel, a stress grading intermediate layer formed over the adhesion layer, a protective layer formed over the stress grading intermediate layer, and an antireflective layer formed over the protective layer. Also provided is a sputtering system for fabricating the protective coating.

Some embodiments provide a lens including a lens body and an optical filter configured to attenuate visible light in certain spectral bands. At least some of the spectral bands can include spectral features that tend to substantially increase the colorfulness, clarity, and/or vividness of a scene. In certain embodiments, eyewear incorporates an optical filter that enhances chroma within one or more spectral bands. In some embodiments, a wearer of the eyewear can perceive the increase in chroma when viewing at least certain types of scenes.

An optical substrate according to one embodiment includes a support substrate, and a projection-depression structure layer on a surface of which shapes of projections and depressions are formed, the projection-depression structure layer being laminated on the support substrate. The extending directions of projection portions contained in the projection-depression structure layer are irregularly distributed seen in planar view. An outline seen in planar view of a projection portion contained in a region per unit area of the projection-depression structure layer includes more straight line sections than curved line sections.

To provide an electrochromic device, including a laminated body, which includes: at least one support; a first electrode layer on the support; an electrochromic layer on the first electrode layer; a second electrode layer disposed to face the first electrode layer; and an electrolyte layer, which fills between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, and is on the electrochromic layer, the at least one support including a resin substrate, and the laminated body having a desired curve formed by thermoforming.

An ophthalmic lens incorporating an optically functional wafer having improved adhesion to a polymerized polyurea-urethane bulk lens resin.

A method for manufacturing optical and microwave reflectors includes: placing an assembly comprising a resin-infiltrated tendrillar mat structure on a mandrel; placing a pre-impregnated carbon fiber (CF) lamina on top of the tendrillar mat structure; placing the assembly in a vacuum device so as to squeeze out excess resin; and placing the assembly in a heating device so as to cure the tendrillar mat structure together with the CF lamina, forming the CF laminae into a laminate that combines with the tendrillar mat structure to create a cured assembly. A reflector suitable for one or more of optical and microwave applications includes: a mandrel; a resin-infiltrated tendrillar mat structure placed on the mandrel; and a pre-impregnated carbon fiber (CF) lamina placed on top of the tendrillar mat structure.

An exemplary lamp assembly includes a lens, a base, and a textured surface between an outwardly facing surface of the lens and an outwardly facing surface of the base. An exemplary lamp molding method includes injecting a first material into a mold cavity to form a lens, and injecting a second material against a textured surface of the lens within the mold cavity to form a base.
