Embodiments disclosed herein include eyewear that has one or more laminates applied to a lens body. In some embodiments, the lens body is constructed from a substantially rigid material having a curved shape. The lens body can have any desired curvature, including, for example, cylindrical, spherical or toroidal. A laminate can include a substantially flexible substrate and one or more functional layers or coatings applied to the substrate. In addition, one or more functional layers or coatings can be applied directly to the lens body. In certain embodiments, a bonding layer bonds a laminate to a convex and/or concave surface of the lens body. Examples of functional layers or coatings that can be applied to a laminate include anti-reflection coatings, interference stacks, hard coatings, flash mirrors, anti-static coatings, anti-fog coatings, other functional layers, or a combination of functional layers.

Provided is a hydrosilylation reactive composition that has a sufficient pot life at room temperature, that can be cured at low temperature by exposure to high energy radiation, and that produces a stable semi-cured product during the curing process, and to provide a semi-cured product and a cured product obtained using this hydrosilylation reactive composition. The composition comprises: (A) a compound containing at least one aliphatically unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon group in the molecule; (B) a compound containing at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms in the molecule; (C) a first hydrosilylation catalyst exhibiting activity in the composition without exposure to high energy radiation; and (D) a second hydrosilylation catalyst not exhibiting activity unless exposed to high energy radiation, and exhibiting activity in the composition by exposure to high energy radiation.

The present invention refers to a printed three-dimensional optical component built up from layers of printing ink characterized in that the three-dimensional optical component comprises at least one foil between two consecutive layers. The present invention further relates to a corresponding manufacturing method.

An optical sheet 10 of the present invention includes a laminate including a polarizing layer 4 containing at least one kind of a light absorbing agent and having a polarizing function, and a protective layer 1 laminated on the polarizing layer 4, in which in the polarizing layer 4, a value of a* is 0 or more and 30 or less and a value of b* is 0 or more and 30 or less in an L*a*b* color system defined by JIS Z 8781-4, and in the optical sheet 10, a size of a Q Blue value defined by Australian Standard Australia/New Zealand Standard 1067-2016 is 0.70 or more. Thus, even when the optical sheet is toned to brown, blue light can be distinguished with excellent distinguishability.

Penetration of moisture and propagation of cracks is prevented in a polarizer. An adhesive is provided to cover one or more edges of the polarizer to seal the side section of the polarizer. The adhesive fills initial cracks to prevent the initial crack from being propagated to the inside of the polarizer. A protective film and the adhesive include a material having a hydrophobic characteristic. In a method of fabricating a polarizer, a polarizing film is shaped to form a polarizing layer, and a protective film is then attached by applying an adhesive onto the edges of the polarizing layer. Then, the adhesive is cured, and the protective film having the polarizing layer attached is processed, thereby dividing the protective film into a plurality of polarizers. The adhesive can firmly fix the crack since the adhesive is fills in cracks in the polarizing layer.

Methods and materials to fabricate laminated devices are disclosed, particularly the laminates where the interlayer is deposited by 3d printing (or also called additive manufacturing process). In particular, emphasis is placed on the fabrication of electrooptical devices, including electrochromic, thermochromic and liquid crystal devices. In the electrochromic devices at least the electrolytic interlayer or optionally some of the other layers are deposited by this process, and for the other two the interlayer contains thermochromic and the liquid crystalline material respectively. In one embodiment printing is used to form both an interlayer and a sealant located at the perimeter of the interlayer. Laminated glass and plastic objects using this invention have many applications including their use in windows for building and transportation.

The present invention provides a method for producing an optical film excellent in anti-fouling properties and scratch resistance as well as anti-reflection properties. The method includes the steps of: (1) applying a lower layer resin and an upper layer resin; (2) forming a resin layer having the uneven structure on a surface thereof by pressing a mold against the lower layer resin and the upper layer resin from the upper layer resin side in the state where the applied lower layer resin and upper layer resin are stacked; and (3) curing the resin layer, the lower layer resin containing at least one kind of first monomer that contains no fluorine atoms, the upper layer resin containing a fluorine-containing monomer and at least one kind of second monomer that contains no fluorine atoms, at least one of the first monomer and the second monomer containing a compatible monomer that is compatible with the fluorine-containing monomer and being dissolved in the lower layer resin and the upper layer resin.

The present invention pertains to polyurethane-urea based optical adhesives for formation of optical film laminates, optically functional film laminates, and ophthalmic or eyeglass lenses employing the same and methods for producing the same.

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.

A polarizable compact is provided with high productivity, which makes a polarizing sheet resistant to the occurrence of color unevenness and voids and also resistant to the occurrence of variations in polarization degree accompanying thermal shrinkage and the like of a protective layer (protective film). A polarizable compact is used for glasses, and a method of manufacturing the same. An injection-molded portion made of a transparent plastic material is thermally bonded to the concave surface side of a polarizing sheet having a predetermined curvature radius. The polarizing sheet has a polarizer layer held between first and second protective layers respectively serving as a convex surface side and a concave surface side. Both the first and second protective layers are formed from transparent films by a casting method with retardation (Re)≤50 nm. The transparent films for the first and second protective layers are respectively formed from an acylcellulose-based film and a polyamide-based film.
