Abstract

In the manufacture of gradient polarized sunglasses an optical retarder is used in front of a portion of a polarized lens to destroy the linear polarization of incoming light to render that portion of the sunglass lens non-polarized, thus to permit viewing of polarized displays through that non-polarized portion of the polarized sunglass lens.
