An optical lens device includes an optical substrate layer, an optical thin film, an optical polarization layer and a miniature surface structure. The optical substrate layer has a first surface and a second surface and rays of light passes through the optical substrate layer. The optical polarization layer is provided on a surface of the optical thin film. The miniature surface structure is physically processed to form the optical polarization layer and provides a characteristic of optical polarization in the optical polarization layer. The miniature surface structure of the optical thin film provides an optical polarization effect to the rays of light while passing through it.

A method of producing a lens with an embedded foil, comprising the steps of positioning a foil (10) on a foil fixation holder, providing adhesive attachment dots (41) on the foil (10) on surface portions (12) opposite to the foil fixation holder, positioning the front mould (30) ensuring the contact of the attachment dots (41) with a surface (31) of the front mould (30), retracting the foil fixation holder and positioning a back mould (120) opposite to the front mould (30).

The invention provides a wire grid polarizer and a manufacturing method thereof. The method comprising steps of providing a substrate, forming a conductive layer on the substrate, forming an inverted wire grid structure on the conductive layer by nano-imprint or lithography process, and depositing a metal on the inverted wire grid structure to form a wire grid structure by electroforming or electrodeless coating technology. The conductive layer is transparent to the light wave band of the application. Since the method is an additive process, nano-imprint electroplating, electroforming, or electrodeless coating technology can be used, and the steps are simplified compared with subtractive process. Thus, the invention reduces or eliminates the need for expensive lithography technology, and avoids the use of complicated dry etching process.

A method for manufacturing a polarizer film assembly for a display assembly in an information handling system comprises forming a mask on a base film substrate and creating a set of optical targets on the base film substrate prior to applying the dye to the base film substrate. The dye adheres to unmasked areas to form a polarizer film, but the mask prevents the dye from adhering to masked areas, forming a set of non-polarized areas. The set of optical targets may include fiducials for aligning a cutter to the base film substrate for cutting the borders of the base layer substrate such that the polarizer film assembly forms a continuous surface with non-polarized areas positioned relative to a camera or other optical sensor.

Provided is a manufacturing method of an optical film, which manufactures an optical film in which at least a first film and a second film are stacked, the method including: pressing the first film and the second film with the optical film by passing both the first film and the second film between a pair of pressing rolls; forming a slit line in a width direction of the optical film by cutting the second film without cutting the first film at a rear end of a connection portion when the connection portion is included, to which a unit film is connected by a connection member between the first film and the second film which are pressed in the pressing; and conveying the optical film by passing the optical film with the slit line in the slit forming between a pair of conveying rolls.

A retarder film provides a first light retardation and can be heat processed in one or more selected areas to provide a second light retardation in the selected area(s). The retarder film may have an absorption characteristic such that the heat processing can be carried out by selectively exposing the film to a suitable radiant beam. The retarder film is composed of a stack of contiguous ultrathin layers configured to provide an effective optical medium for visible light. Visible light propagates through the stack as an effective medium having effective refractive indices along principal x-, y-, and z-axes. At least some of the ultrathin layers possess intrinsic birefringence, and the effective indices of the stack are functions of the intrinsic refractive indices of the constituent ultrathin layers. The heat processing is carried out so that the ultrathin layer stack structural integrity is not substantially altered in the processed area(s).
