The invention relates to multifunctional optically highly transparent films based on cellulose esters, having the following components within a film: a) a cellulose ester or a mixture of cellulose esters, preferably based on cellulose triacetate, which can be processed into a highly transparent film with a haze value of < 0.4% by virtue of a high degree of purity and optical quality and which is defined by the following properties: b) at least one organic or inorganic material which acts as a plasticizer and as a spacer between the molecule chains of the cellulose esters and thereby allows anoptimal removal of the residual solvent contained in the film during the film drying process and an improved storage and functionality of additionally introduced additives in a synergistically effective manner, c) at least three organic or inorganic materials with a transmission-influencing absorptive function in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 2500 nm, said materials being simultaneously synergistically effective as a plasticizer equivalent as well in the sense of a spacer between the molecule chains of the cellulose ester matrix and having a protective strain-reducing function for the retina of the human eye, wherein the function relates primarily to the reduction of the energy output density acting on the eye in physiologically relevant wavelength ranges, characterized by a reductionof the transmission of the light passing through the film. The invention further relates to a method for producing multifunctional optically highly transparent films.
