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


Product OverviewInnovative, 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


Anti-Reflective Stack

Low Index

High Index

Mid Index

Hard Coat

•Alternating layers of high and low index thin films

•Film thickness ~100nm

•Tolerance ~+/- 5nm

•Minimum of three layersLens


Anti-Reflection and Nanomaterials

Material Mohs Hardness Refractive Index

Al2O3 9 1.62 @ 600nm

SiO2 7 1.46 @ 600nm

TiO2 6 2.2-2.7 @ 550nm

• 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


Nanomaterials Overview

www.nsf.gov/.../bordogna/ rochester/sld006.htm


Research and Development Team• Cooperative research between investigators at ODC and the

University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky


University Involvement

The relationship with the Universities is facilitating development with innovative nano-materials solutions and advanced research tools

•Development of new and novel nanomaterials and their dispersions

– Control of refractive index from 1.4 to 2.2

– Improved mechanical performance– Stable chemistries

•Material characterization

•Agreements with both Universities are in place


Liquid AR Product Advantages• Product enables AR coating in a retail

environment. AR coated lenses delivered to customers in about an hour

• Much lower hardware cost than current vacuum technology

• Hardware and process can be scaled for effective use in various retail environments

• Ease of use• Low residual stress in the layers results in a

more durable coating• Glass molds are much easier to clean than

plastic lenses
