AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing multi-layered polarized lenses are prone to absorbing moisture in high-humidity environments, causing water molecules to penetrate the substrate and react with water-based adhesives, resulting in poor adhesion and material delamination. In addition, injection-molded polarized lenses are more expensive.

Method used

Polycarbonate film is used as the substrate, and a light-curing resin adhesive is used instead of a water-based adhesive. The light-curing resin adhesive is composed of prepolymer, active monomer, photoinitiator and additives. It is cured by ultraviolet light to form a water-resistant lens.

Benefits of technology

It improves the water resistance of the lens, reduces the attenuation of peel force in humid environments, reduces the risk of material delamination, and lowers costs.
