Abstract

A system for demonstrating the effects of a polarized lens on reducing glare is provided. The system includes a multi-layered light reflecting substrate having a visual indicia layer and a film layer which partially reflects single-axis polarized light and which partially transmits randomly polarized light. The film layer is disposed adjacent the visual indicia layer. The system also includes a polarized lens between the multi-layered light reflecting substrate and a viewer of the visual indicia. Included in the invention is a method of demonstrating the effects of a polarized lens on reducing glare in accordance with the system of the invention.
