Abstract

A removable lens stack includes a base layer and one or more removable lens layers. The base layer may include a substrate and moth eye coatings on first and second sides of the substrate. A first removable lens layer may include a substrate and an acrylic or fluoropolymer coating on a first side of the substrate and may be stacked on top of the base layer such that the second side of the substrate faces the first side of the substrate of the base layer. A second removable lens layer may include a substrate and an acrylic or fluoropolymer coating on a first side of the substrate and may be stacked on top of the first removable lens layer such that the second side of the substrate faces the first side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer. The acrylic or fluoropolymer coating may comprise a hard coat.

Claims (27)

1. A removable lens stack comprising:

a base layer including a substrate, a moth eye coating on a first side of the substrate, and a moth eye coating on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side;

a first removable lens layer including a substrate and an acrylic coating on a first side of the substrate, the substrate having a second side opposite the first side, the first removable lens layer being stacked on top of the base layer such that the second side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer faces the first side of the substrate of the base layer; and

a second removable lens layer including a substrate and an acrylic coating on a first side of the substrate, the substrate having a second side opposite the first side, the second removable lens layer being stacked on top of the first removable lens layer such that the second side of the substrate of the second removable lens layer faces the first side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer.

2. The removable lens stack of claim 1 , wherein the acrylic coating of each of the first and second removable lens layers comprises an acrylic hard coat.

3. The removable lens stack of claim 2 , wherein the acrylic hard coat contains silica beads.

4. The removable lens stack of claim 1 , wherein the first removable lens layer further includes a fluoropolymer coating on the second side of the substrate, the fluoropolymer coating being molded to fit the moth eye coating on the first side of the substrate of the base layer.

5. The removable lens stack of claim 1 , wherein the second removable lens layer further includes an acrylic adhesive on the second side of the substrate.

6. The removable lens stack of claim 1 , wherein the second removable lens layer further includes a polyurethane adhesive on the second side of the substrate.

7. A removable lens stack comprising:

a base layer including a substrate, a moth eye coating on a first side of the substrate, and a moth eye coating on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side; and

a first removable lens layer including a substrate and an acrylic coating on a first side of the substrate, the substrate having a second side opposite the first side, the first removable lens layer being stacked on top of the base layer such that the second side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer faces the first side of the substrate of the base layer.

8. The removable lens stack of claim 7 , wherein the acrylic coating comprises an acrylic hard coat.

9. The removable lens stack of claim 8 , wherein the acrylic hard coat contains silica beads.

10. The removable lens stack of claim 7 , wherein the first removable lens layer further includes a fluoropolymer coating on the second side of the substrate, the fluoropolymer coating being molded to fit the moth eye coating on the first side of the substrate of the base layer.

11. The removable lens stack of claim 7 , further comprising a second removable lens layer including a substrate, an acrylic coating on a first side of the substrate, and an acrylic adhesive on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side, the second removable lens layer being stacked on top of the first removable lens layer such that the second side of the substrate of the second removable lens layer faces the first side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer.

12. The removable lens stack of claim 7 , further comprising a second removable lens layer including a substrate, an acrylic coating on a first side of the substrate, and a polyurethane adhesive on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side, the second removable lens layer being stacked on top of the first removable lens layer such that the second side of the substrate of the second removable lens layer faces the first side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer.

13. A removable lens stack comprising:

a base layer including a substrate, a moth eye coating on a first side of the substrate, and a moth eye coating on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side; and

a first removable lens layer including a substrate and a fluoropolymer coating on a first side of the substrate, the substrate having a second side opposite the first side, the first removable lens layer being stacked on top of the base layer such that the second side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer faces the first side of the substrate of the base layer.

14. The removable lens stack of claim 13 , wherein the fluoropolymer coating of the first removable lens layer comprises a fluoropolymer hard coat.

15. The removable lens stack of claim 14 , wherein the fluoropolymer hard coat contains silica beads.

16. The removable lens stack of claim 13 , wherein the first removable lens layer further includes a fluoropolymer coating on the second side of the substrate, the fluoropolymer coating on the second side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer being molded to fit the moth eye coating on the first side of the substrate of the base layer.

17. The removable lens stack of claim 13 , further comprising a second removable lens layer including a substrate and a fluoropolymer coating on a first side of the substrate, the substrate having a second side opposite the first side, the second removable lens layer being stacked on top of the first removable lens layer such that the second side of the substrate of the second removable lens layer faces the first side of the substrate of the first removable lens layer.

18. The removable lens stack of claim 17 , wherein the second removable lens layer further includes an acrylic adhesive on the second side of the substrate.

19. The removable lens stack of claim 17 , wherein the second removable lens layer further includes a polyurethane adhesive on the second side of the substrate.

20. The removable lens stack of claim 17 , wherein the fluoropolymer coating of the second removable lens layer comprises a fluoropolymer hard coat.
