Heatable Photochromic Laminate and Method of Making the Same

Abstract

A heatable optical laminate is provided. The heatable optical laminate includes: a first optical element, the first optical element includes: a first polymeric film layer including a first surface and a second surface, and an electrode located over at least a portion of the first surface, wherein the electrode includes an electrically conductive three-dimensional network; a second optical element, the second optical element including: a second polymeric film layer including a first surface and a second surface, and a photochromic adhesive layer including at least one photochromic material and at least one adhesive over at least a portion of the first surface; and a power supply electrically connected to the electrode of the first optical element. The electrode of the first optical element is adhered to at least a portion of the photochromic adhesive layer of the second optical element. A method of making the heatable optical laminate is also provided.
