Polarizing optical element comprising a polarizing film and method for making same

摘要

The invention concerns a polarizing optical element comprising a basic transparent optical element (1) and a layered structure (2) incorporating a polarizing film (2a). The polarizing film is of the dichroic colouring type and uniaxially oriented. The layered structure is bonded on the basic optical element via a layered structure (3) including at least one pressure-sensitive adhesive material layer. Through the use of pressure-sensitive adhesive material, the polarizing film (2a) maintains during bonding a high polarizing efficiency and an optical quality compatible with the numerous applications of the optical element, in particular ophthalmological applications.
