2. Project: nanoCLEAR
A new in-mold AR coating product that enables AR lens production with the quality, speed and cost of table top lens casting.

3. Product Overview
Innovative, low cost, multilayer, thin film anti-reflective coating system based on:
Unique, spin applied liquid chemistries
The coating’s optical and mechanical properties are engineered using nanomaterials
Low cost, low complexity hardware enables retail store deployment
Capital equipment costs are much lower than current vacuum systems
Enables 1 hour service for AR coated Cast to RX ODC Lenses

4. Anti-Reflective Stack
Alternating layers of high and low index thin films
Film thickness ~100nm
Tolerance ~+/- 5nm
Minimum of three layers
Low Index
High Index
Mid Index

5. Anti-Reflection and Nanomaterials
An anti-reflective coating is achieved by depositing thin films of alternating refractive indexes
By engineering the refractive indexes and thicknesses of these films, visible reflections are reduced and transmission is improved
Nano-scale additives must be used to avoid transmission losses and scattering that occur with larger particles
Nanomaterial benefits:
Increased ability to engineer refractive index
Improved mechanical performance
