    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical article comprising a base lens substrate having a at least one or a plurality of optical elements such as microlenses, a Fresnel structures, etc protruding from a surface thereof, and a hard coat covering encapsulating each optical elements. More particular it relates to an optical article comprising: a base lens substrate having opposing first and second lens surfaces; a protective layer having opposing first and second protective surfaces and a maximum thickness, measured in a direction perpendicular to the first protective surface between the first and second protective surfaces, the first protective surface disposed on the second lens surface; and at least one or a plurality of optical elements, each: defining a portion of one of the first protective surface and the second lens surface; having a maximum height, measured in a direction perpendicular to the second lens surface carrying them, that is less than or equal to 0.1 millimeters (mm) and a diameter that is less than or equal to 2.0 mm. wherein the protective layer is composed of a crosslinked matrix and nanoparticles and the index nc of said protective layer is lower than the index nm of the at least one or each optical element such that the difference nm−nc is greater than 0.045, preferably greater than 0.10, or even greater than 0.15; and wherein the maximum thickness of the protective layer is at least 2 times, preferably at least 5 times of the maximum height of the at least one or each of the optical elements. The invention also relates to the method for forming such optical articles, typically comprising an inkjet step.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems, devices, and methods for preventing contamination during formation of an optical article. In some implementations, a device for preventing contamination of a mold cavity during injection molding of a function wafer includes a containment band having an annular base that defines a first opening configured to receive a functional wafer. The device also includes one or more sidewalls that project a first direction from and surround at least a portion of the first opening. The one or more sidewalls may be configured such that, during formation of an optical article, a first portion of the functional wafer is in contact with the one or more sidewalls.
