A lens comprises an internal cavity structure formed by dissolution of a soluble insert material. The internal soluble material may dissolve through a body of a lens such as a contact lens in order to form the cavity within the contact lens. The cavity within the lens can be shaped in many ways, and corresponds to the shape of the dissolved material, such that many internal cavity shapes can be readily fabricated within the contact lens. The insert can be placed in a mold with a pre-polymer material, and the pre-polymer material cured with the insert placed in the mold to form the lens body. The polymerized polymer may comprise a low expansion polymer in order to inhibit expansion of the lens when hydrated. The polymer may comprise a hydrogel when hydrated. The soft contact lens material comprises a sufficient amount of cross-linking to provide structure to the lens and shape the cavity.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a thin polarizer, the method including: a step of preparing an unstretched polyvinyl alcohol-based film having a thickness of 20 m or less, in which a strength applied to stretch the film by 6 times is 4 N or more; and a single stretching step of forming a stretched polyvinyl alcohol-based film having a thickness of 10 m or less by stretching the unstretched polyvinyl alcohol-based film solely, and a thin polarizer manufactured by using the same.

A method of producing a long polarizer by which a polarizer serving as a final product that can achieve the multi-functionalization and high-functionalization of an electronic device, such as an image display apparatus, and that is free of any variation in quality can be produced at low cost and with high productivity. A method of producing a long polarizer having non-polarization portions according to an embodiment of the present invention includes; laminating, on one surface of a long polarizer, a long surface protective film having through-holes arranged in a lengthwise direction and/or a widthwise direction at predetermined intervals to form a long polarizing film laminate; partially decoloring the polarizer through the through-holes of the surface protective film to form the non-polarization portions; and removing the surface protective film.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a polarizing plate, the method including: preparing a polarizing plate where a protection film is laminated on one surface of a polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizer dyed with at least one or more of iodine and dichromatic dyes; and forming a depolarization region having single transmittance of 80% or more at a wavelength band in a range of 400 nm to 800 nm by bringing a decoloring solution including 1 to 30 wt % of a decolorant into local contact with the other surface of the polarizer, and a polarizing plate manufactured by using the same.

There is provided a polarizer excellent in heat resistance. A polarizer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a resin film containing iodine, wherein an end portion of the resin film has formed therein a high-concentration portion having a concentration of a substance that forms a counter ion of iodine higher than that of another portion.

A functional sheet with protective films obtained by laminating protective sheets includes aromatic polycarbonate onto a functional layer that is a polyvinyl alcohol polarizing layer or a photocromic layer or any combination thereof and having the protective films adhere to the protective sheets. The protective films have at least two or three layers i.e., a base layer composed of a polypropylene that has a melting point higher than the glass transition temperature of an aromatic polycarbonate; an adhesive layer composed of a heat plastic polyolefin elastomer composed of a polyolefin that has a melting point from a temperature that is 15 C. lower than the glass transition temperature of the aromatic polycarbonate to a temperature that is lower than the glass transition temperature and a styrene-olefin-styrene co-poly-elastomer; and a middle layer composed of a polyolefin resin between the base layer and the adhesive layer.
