  • Optical sheet for use in manufacturing a cylindrically shaped optically correct visor and method of manufacturing said visor
    Patent number: 6893126
    Abstract: A plano-convex optical sheet having a positive power including: a substantially planar inner surface; opposed lateral edges, and a thickness s that is decreasing proceeding from a transversal central line passing through the geometric center of the optical sheet towards said opposed lateral edges along a portion of predetermined width w of the optical sheet, so as to define a convex outer surface having a curvature such that the optical sheet is capable of providing once bent a cylindrically shaped optically correct visor.

  • Multilayer interference filter for photochromic lenses
    Publication number: 20040240067
    Abstract: A multi-layer thin film is provided preferably for use with photochromic lenses,wherein the thin film comprises a plurality of layers, preferably including dielectric layers, selected and arranged so as to reflect less than about 6 percent of the UVA rays in a range of about 315 to 400 nm, more preferably about 350 to 380 nm. The thin film preferably has an activation value greater than 25%.

  • Multi-layer interference filter having colored reflectance and substantially uniform transmittance and methods of manufacturing the same
    Publication number: 20040036973
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a new family of optical element for use in eyeglasses, visors, masks and screens which produce a new chromatic effect through a vacuum deposition of two or plus layers of dielectric substances and methods of manufacturing the same. These new filters combine some colored reflection on the outer surface with a uniform transmission looking through the lens so complying the European Standard in terms of luminous transmittance uniformity.
