  • Patent number: 9063276
    Abstract: Provided is a polarizing lens which is excellent especially in terms of impact resistance, appearance, and prevention of eye strain and which has high precision of the surface shape. The polarizing lens is formed by laminating a sheet of an aromatic polycarbonate through an adhesive layer to each surface of a film having polarizing properties, curving the resultant laminate so as to impart spherical or aspherical surfaces thereto to obtain a polarizing sheet, inserting the polarizing sheet into a mold, and injecting an aromatic polycarbonate, wherein the polarizing sheet is obtained through the laminating so that the stretch axis of one of the aromatic-polycarbonate sheets is perpendicular to the absorption axis of the film having the polarizing properties.

  • Publication number: 20140293618
    Abstract: The present invention solves glare of an embossed matte film of a conventional product produced and sold by the applicant of the present application, and provides a light diffusion film and the like having a surface shape of an irregular pattern that significantly suppresses the glare even when an LED light source is used and also maintains the good optical characteristics. The following is believed sufficient for maintaining good optical characteristics of an embossed matte film and also for solving the glare. To maintain the optical characteristics, the surface shape was defined by use of an inclination angle histogram profile of an embossed surface. In order to solve the glare, the size of unit patterns which make up an entire pattern and do not cause glare was defined by use of the value of the average length RSm of the roughness curve element of the embossed surface.
