Abstract

In a plastic optical product, an optical multilayer film having a seven layer structure is formed on a surface of a plastic substrate directly or with an interlayer interposed therebetween. In the seven layer structure of the optical multilayer film, a layer on the plastic substrate side is a low refractive index layer, and the low refractive index layers and high refractive index layers are alternately disposed. At least the high refractive index layer at the center of the seven layer structure contains substoichiometric titanium oxide. In a plastic lens for spectacles belonging to such a plastic optical product, the plastic substrate is a plastic lens substrate for spectacles, the interlayer is a hard coat film, and the optical multilayer film is an anti-reflective film.

Claims (19)

1. A plastic optical product comprising:

a plastic substrate; and

an optical multilayer film having a seven layer structure, formed directly on a surface of the plastic substrate or indirectly on the surface of the plastic substrate with an interlayer interposed therebetween;

wherein a first layer of the seven layer structure in closest proximity to the plastic substrate is a low refractive index layer consisting of SiO 2 , and wherein each of the subsequent low refractive index layers of the seven layer structure consists of SiO 2 and is alternately stacked and arranged with high refractive index layers in the seven layer structure, each high refractive index layer containing one of titanium dioxide and substoichiometric titanium oxide; and

wherein only a centermost layer of the seven layer structure is a high refractive index layer containing substoichiometric titanium oxide.

2. A plastic lens for spectacles comprising:

the plastic optical product according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic substrate is a plastic lens substrate for spectacles, the interlayer is a hard coat film, and the optical multilayer film is an anti-reflective film.

3. The plastic optical product according to claim 1 , wherein the substoichiometric titanium oxide has a formula of TiO x , wherein 1.66≦x<2.

4. A plastic lens for spectacles comprising:

the plastic optical product according to claim 3 , wherein

the plastic substrate is a plastic lens substrate for spectacles,

the interlayer is a hard coat film, and

the optical multilayer film is an anti-reflective film.

5. The plastic optical product according to claim 1 , wherein an average heat resistance of the plastic optical product is at least 100° C.

6. A plastic lens for spectacles comprising:

the plastic optical product according to claim 5 , wherein

the plastic substrate is a plastic lens substrate for spectacles,

the interlayer is a hard coat film, and

the optical multilayer film is an anti-reflective film.
