Plastic optical filter
First Claim
1. A plastic optical filter comprising a filter base formed of a plastic material comprising a copolymer obtained by copolymerizinga first monomer represented by the following formula I:
-
space="preserve" listing-type="equation">PO(OH).sub.n R.sub.3-n Iwherein R means a polymerizable functional group represented by the following formula II;
space="preserve" listing-type="equation">CH.sub.2 ═
CXCOO(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub.m -- IIin which X denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and m is an integer of 1-5, and n is 1 or 2,with at least one second monomer copolymerizable therewith, and an ionic metal component composed of a copper ion incorporated in the copolymer;
said plastic material having been cast polymerized in a mold having an inner surface on which a negative pattern of a phase grating is formed, to form a phase grating on a surface of the filter base andwherein said second monomer is miscible and soluble uniformly with the first monomer, has good radical polymerizability with the first monomer, and forms an optically transparent copolymer.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a plastic optical filter which has a combined optical function that it has an effect of effectively blocking or attenuating rays in the wavelength range of a near infrared region and excellent luminosity factor-compensating ability and is provided with an optical low-pass filtering function, and is low in specific gravity and hygroscopicity, free from devitrification with time and easy to conduct its processing or machining and polishing treatment.
This plastic optical filter includes a filter base formed of a plastic material comprising a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer represented by the following formula I:
PO(OH).sub.n R.sub.3-n I
wherein R means a polymerizable functional group represented by the following formula II:
CH.sub.2 ═CXCOO(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub.m -- II
in which X denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and m is an integer of 1-5, and n is 1 or 2, with at least one monomer copolymerizable therewith, and an ionic metal component composed of a copper ion incorporated in the copolymer, and a phase grating formed on a surface of the filter base.
