Abstract:
1. A photochromic-dichroic article comprising: (a) a substrate having a first surface and a second surface; (b) a fixed-polarized layer positioned over said first surface of said substrate, said fixed-polarized layer having a first polarization axis; and (c) a photochromic-dichroic layer positioned over said first surface of said substrate, said photochromic-dichroic layer comprising a photochromic-dichroic compound, said photochromic-dichroic compound being laterally aligned within said photochromic-dichroic layer and defining a second polarization axis of said photochromic-dichroic layer; wherein said first polarization axis and said second polarization axis are oriented relative to each other at an angle of greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°, wherein said fixed-polarized layer is interposed between said first surface of said substrate and said photochromic-dichroic layer.
