Polarizing lens constituted of aromatic polycarbonate
Provided is a polarizing lens which is excellent especially in terms of impact resistance, appearance, and prevention of eye strain and which has high precision of the surface shape. The polarizing lens is formed by laminating a sheet of an aromatic polycarbonate through an adhesive layer to each surface of a film having polarizing properties, curving the resultant laminate so as to impart spherical or aspherical surfaces thereto to obtain a polarizing sheet, inserting the polarizing sheet into a mold, and injecting an aromatic polycarbonate, wherein the polarizing sheet is obtained through the laminating so that the stretch axis of one of the aromatic-polycarbonate sheets is perpendicular to the absorption axis of the film having the polarizing properties.
1. A polarizing lens, which is formed by laminating
an aromatic polycarbonate protection layer through an adhesive layer to each surface of a film having polarizing properties, curving the resultant laminate so as to form a light incidence side having the protection layer positioned thereon and to impart spherical or aspherical surfaces thereto to obtain a polarizing sheet, and injecting an aromatic polycarbonate onto a surface opposite the light incidence side of the polarizing sheet to form a sheet of the injected aromatic polycarbonate, wherein a retardation value of the protection layer positioned on the light incidence side is 2,000 nm or more and less than 20,000 nm, and wherein a stretch axis of the protection layer positioned on the light incidence side is perpendicular to an absorption axis of the film having polarizing properties, and wherein said laminated aromatic polycarbonate sheet the aromatic polycarbonate in the protection layers is prepared from 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane.
2. A polarizing lens, which is formed by laminating an aromatic polycarbonate protection layer through an adhesive layer to each surface of a film having polarizing properties, curving the resultant laminate so as to form a light incidence side having the protection layer positioned thereon and a light exit side having the protection layer positioned thereon and to impart spherical or aspherical surfaces thereto to obtain a polarizing sheet, and injecting an aromatic polycarbonate onto a surface of the light exit side of the polarizing sheet to form a sheet of the injected aromatic polycarbonate, wherein a retardation value of the protection layer positioned on the light incidence side and a retardation value of the protection layer positioned on the light exit side are 2,000 nm or more and less than 20,000 nm, wherein a stretch axis of the protection layer positioned on the light incidence side is parallel to an absorption axis of the film having the polarizing properties, and wherein a stretch axis of the aromatic polycarbonate sheet as a protective layer positioned at the light exit side is perpendicular to the absorption axis of the film having the polarizing properties, and wherein the aromatic polycarbonate in the protection layers is prepared from from 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane.
