    Abstract: A lens is formed from at least two sections or bodies that are shaped to mate with each other, and a multilayer optical film is sandwiched between these two sections. Smooth surfaces of each section combine to provide a first optical surface of the lens, e.g., a concave, convex, or flat optical surface. The multilayer optical film includes a stack of polymer layers configured to selectively reflect light by constructive or destructive interference, at least some of the polymer layers being birefringent. The multilayer optical film may thus be or comprise e.g. a reflective polarizer and/or a narrow band or otherwise notched reflector. The multilayer optical film has an extended terminus that separates the smooth surfaces of the two sections. Any edge defects such as cracks or delaminations that may exist along the extended terminus are characterized by an average defect distance of no more than 100 or 50 microns.

    Abstract translation: 由形成为彼此配合的至少两个部分或主体形成透镜,并且多层光学膜夹在这两个部分之间。 每个部分的平滑表面组合以提供透镜的第一光学表面,例如凹形,凸形或平坦的光学表面。 多层光学膜包括被构造为通过结构性或相消干涉选择性地反射光的聚合物层的叠层,至少一些聚合物层是双折射的。 因此,多层光学膜可以是或包括例如。 反射偏振器和/或窄带或其它缺口反射器。 多层光学膜具有延伸的末端,其分离两个部分的光滑表面。 沿着延伸的末端可能存在的诸如裂纹或分层的边缘缺陷的特征在于不超过100或50微米的平均缺陷距离。
