Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide single-lens type polarizing glasses which are optically sufficient in performance, and are rich in variety from a view point of design. Both of a polarizer of a right eye lens and a polarizer of a left eye lens can be two independent polarizing plates, both sides of which are protected with protective sheets, respective polarizing plates are bending-processed into a spherical, nonspherical or toric shape, and a backup resin is thermally adhered on the protective sheet on a concave side of the bending-processed polarizing plate to make a single-lens type polarizing lens, which is further prepared into single-lens type polarizing glasses.

Claims (28)

1. Single-lens type polarizing glasses comprising:

a polarizer separated into a right eye lens and a left eye lens, the right eye lens and the left eye lens having independent lens curves, wherein

the right eye lens and the left eye lens are both independent spherical lenses, nonspherical lenses, or toric lenses, and

both of the polarizer of the right eye lens and the polarizer of the left eye lens comprise two independent polarizing plates, both sides of which are protected with protective sheets, and a backup resin is thermally adhered to one side of respective polarizing plates.

2. The single-lens type polarizing glasses according to claim 1 , wherein the right eye lens and the left eye lens are both independent biaxial toric lenses.

3. The single-lens type polarizing glasses according to claim 2 , wherein the right eye lens and the left eye lens are both biaxial toric lenses having a toric axis in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, and both lenses have the same toric curve in a horizontal direction and, at the same time, have the same toric curve in a vertical direction.

4. The single-lens type polarizing glasses according to claim 3 , wherein a toric curve in a horizontal direction is 6 to 11C, and a toric curve in a vertical direction is 2 to 8C.

5. The single-lens type polarizing glasses according to claim 3 , wherein a toric curve in a horizontal direction is 8 to 10C, and a toric curve in a vertical direction is 4 to 6C.

6. The single-lens type polarizing glasses according to claim 1 , wherein further comprising a resin sheet which is laminated on the protective sheet of one side of respective polarizing plates, and the resin sheet and a backup resin are thermally adhered.

7. The single-lens type polarizing glasses according to

claim 1 , wherein further comprising a coating layer having the adhering function which is provided on the protective sheet of one side of respective polarizing plates, and the coating layer and a backup resin are adhered.

8. A lens configuration for polarized glasses, comprising:

a right eye lens including a first polarizing plate having a first curvature, a right eye object-side surface and a right eye eye-side surface;

a left eye lens including a second polarizing plate separate from the right eye lens and having a second curvature independent of the first curvature of the right eye lens, a left eye object-side surface and a left eye eye-side surface; and

a backup resin layer adhered to both the right eye eye-side surface of the right eye lens and the left eye eye-side surface of the left eye lens to integrate the right eye lens and the left eye lens into a single lens body,

wherein

the backup resin layer is thermally adhered to both the right eye eye-side of the right eye lens and the left eye eye-side of the left eye lens.

9. The lens configuration of claim 8 , wherein

the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate are adhered to the object-side surfaces of the right eye lens and the left eye lens, respectively.

10. The lens configuration of claim 8 , wherein

the first polarizing plate and the second polarizing plate each include an object-side

protective sheet and an eye-side protective sheet, and

the backup resin is adhered to the eye-side protective sheet of the first polarizing plate and the eye-side protective sheet of the second polarizing plate.

11. The lens configuration of claim 10 , further comprising a coating layer that adheres the eye-side protective sheet of the first polarizing plate and the eye-side protective sheet of the second polarizing plate to the backup resin.

12. The lens configuration of claim 10 , further comprising a resin sheet that adheres the eye-side protective sheet of the first polarizing plate and the eye-side protective sheet of the second polarizing plate to the backup resin.

13. The lens configuration of claim 8 , wherein

the backup resin includes a bridge portion that is not adhered to either the eye-side

surface of the right eye lens or the eye-side surface of the left eye lens, but that connects respective portions of the backup resin that are thermally adhered to the eye-side surface of the right eye lens and the eye-side surface of the left eye lens.
