Wire grid polarizer reflection control with colored films

An optical lens, comprising:

• a polymeric film having a structured surface;
• a wire grid polarizer, having at least one high refractive index material layer and a low refractive index metal layer, and the wire grid polarizer is deposited on the structured surface of the polymeric film;
• and
• a photochromic layer is deposited on the polymeric film to form a laminate;
• wherein the laminate is enclosed between two protective layers.

An optical lens, comprising:

• a polymeric film having a structured surface;
• a wire grid polarizer, having at least one high refractive index material layer and a low refractive index metal layer as a mirror layer, and the wire grid polarizer is deposited on the structured surface of the polymeric film;
• and
• a colored transparent film laminated on the mirror layer of the wire grid polarizer;
• wherein, the colored transparent film provides a colored mirror appearance of the optical lens to a viewer.
