  • Publication number: 20210283941
    Abstract: A production method for a polymer laminate with at least one diffraction element is simplified. The method includes the following method steps: providing a diffraction element material with a carrier film and a light-sensitive layer located thereon, and also at least one polymer layer; producing the at least one diffraction element by creating a light-diffracting layer from the light-sensitive layer, in that a light-diffracting pattern is created in the light-sensitive layer of the at least one diffraction element material; bringing together the at least one diffraction element and at least one polymer layer to form a stack of layers; and surface bonding the at least one diffraction element and the at least one polymer layer 170 by way of a lamination process, thereby forming the polymer laminate.
