Abstract

See full text

Chemically-welded optical devices and associated methods for chemically welding optical devices are disclosed herein. Such optical devices may be used in display systems, and may include subcomponents comprising one or more optical films employed for polarization manipulation, as well as a substrate for protecting the optical film(s). An optical film may be chemically welded directly to the substrate using a solvent, and any additional optical films may be chemically welded to a prior optical film previously welded to the substrate. The chemical welding process of the present disclosure may include applying the solvent on the optical film in order to partially dissolve the surface of the optical film prior to adhesion to the substrate. Macromolecules on the dissolved surface of the optical film may be in a loosened state and may be realigned when the solvent evaporates.
