Moreover, an evaluation method which can evaluate the optical homogeneity of the film with a higher precision than in conventional evaluation methods is provided. A film that is a cast film containing a resin having a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 or more, wherein, when line profiles in a direction h and a direction v which are orthogonal to each other in a film inverse space image obtained by Fourier transforming a projection image obtained by a projection method using the cast film are a line profile h and a line profile v.

An optical plastic product has an optical multilayer film formed on one or both surfaces of a base made of plastic, directly or via an intermediate film, wherein the optical multilayer film includes a tensile-stress high-refractive-index layer having tensile stress as internal stress and made of a high refractive index material, and a low refractive index layer made of a low refractive index material, and the tensile-stress high-refractive-index layer is disposed with a physical film thickness of not greater than 10 nm, in a first layer as counted from the base side in the optical multilayer film.

Disclosed herein is a process for producing a transparent film, including the step of stretching a film in at least one direction under a condition(s) that satisfies an expression (5):
200%/min[stretching speed(strain rate)]1,200%/min(5),
wherein the film comprises a polycarbonate resin containing at least a constitutional unit derived from a dihydroxy compound (A) that has a bonded structure represented by a structural formula (1): ##STR00001##
in which no hydrogen atom is bonded to the oxygen atom contained in the structural formula (1).

The disclosure provides post-production methods for functionalization of optical quality films produced by top tier manufactures. The methods disclosed herein allow for the incorporation of different additives into existing films.

The present application relates to a transmittance variable film, a method for producing the same, and a use thereof. The transmittance variable film of the present application can solve the drive unevenness phenomenon by adjusting the pre-tilt of the opposite alignment film of the alignment film to which the ball spacer is fixed to minimize the reverse tilt occurring upon on-off driving. The transmittance variable film of the present application can be used as sunroofs.

A computer-implemented method for optical element fabrication with optical scanner feedback includes initiating the optical scanner to obtain an optical measurement of an optical layer of a multi-layer film. A rotational orientation for an optical element that is to be cut from the multi-layer film is then determined based on the optical measurement. The method also includes initiating a cutting instrument to cut the optical element from the multi-layer film at the rotational orientation.

A feedblock including a first packet creator that forms a first packet including a first plurality of polymeric layers, the first plurality of layers including at least four first individual polymeric layers; and a second packet creator that forms a second packet including a second plurality of polymeric layers, the second plurality of layers including at least four second individual polymeric layers, wherein the first and second packet creators are configured such that, for each packet creator, respective individual polymeric layers of the plurality of polymeric layers are formed at approximately the same time. The feedblock may include a packet combiner that receives and combines the first and second primary packets to form a multilayer stream. In some examples, at least one of the first and second primary packets may be spread in the cross-web direction prior to being combined with one another.

The present disclosure discloses an optical film, a mold and an electronic device cover plate, wherein the optical film comprises: a carrier; a patterned layer located on a surface of the carrier, the patterned layer comprising continuously disposed micro-nano structures, which are convex structures and/or concave structures; wherein the optical film visually has a stereoscopic impression not less than 1 mm in depth or height. The optical film provided by the present disclosure is disposed with a patterned layer comprising continuously disposed micro-nano structures, so that the stereoscopic effect can be achieved only by adopting the one-layer structure, and there is a visual difference of at least 1 mm in depth or height, thereby reducing the thickness and the manufacturing process of the film, and well decreasing the cost.

In an example method of forming a waveguide film, a photocurable material is dispensed into a space between a first mold portion and a second mold portion opposite the first mold portion. Further, a relative separation between a surface of the first mold portion with respect to a surface of the second mold portion opposing the surface of the first mold portion is adjusted. The photocurable material in the space is irradiated with radiation suitable for photocuring the photocurable material to form a cured waveguide film. Concurrent to irradiating the photocurable material, the relative separation between the surface of the first mold portion and the surface of the second mold portion is varied and/or an intensity of the radiation irradiating the photocurable material is varied.

Provided is an antireflection film obtained by laminating, in succession, a transparent substrate, a first layer, and a second layer having a lower refractive index than the refractive index of the first layer. The first layer is obtained by curing a film containing an ionizing radiation-curable material, a quaternary ammonium salt material, a leveling agent, and a solvent, and has a structure wherein a middle layer, hard coating layer and recoating layer are laminated in succession from the transparent substrate side. The recoating layer does not contain a quaternary ammonium salt. The hard coating layer contains a quaternary ammonium salt, and the concentration of the quaternary ammonium salt in the hard coating layer gradually increases from the middle layer side to the recoating layer side.
