Abstract:
1. A molded laminate for optical use having polarization and photochromic properties, comprising a laminate sheet comprising: a polarizing sheet having a thickness of not greater than 0.2 mm, a light transmissivity of not smaller than 40%, and a polarization degree of not smaller than 99.0%, said polarizing sheet comprising a polarizing film and first and second cellulose triacetate films bonded to respective ones of opposing surface of said polarizing film; a thermoplastic film having a thickness of from 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm and a light transmissivity of not smaller than 80%, said thermoplastic film being bonded to an exposed surface of said first cellulose triacetate film with an adhesive; and a third cellulose triacetate film having a thickness of not greater than 0.2 mm bonded an exposed surface of said second cellulose triacetate film with an adhesive containing an organic photochromic compound; said laminate sheet being subjected to hot bending into an aimed shape in which an exposed surface of said third cellulose triacetate exhibits convexity, and an exposed surface of said thermoplastic film exhibits concavity, and, after that, said hot-bent polarizing sheet being placed in an injection mold, and a molding resin material fusible with said thermoplastic film is injected onto said thermoplastic film, to thereby complete said molded laminate.
