Abstract
A multilayer photochromic article can include a photochromic substrate, which may include a first photochromic layer defining a surface of the substrate, and a second photochromic layer positioned between the surface of the photochromic substrate and a source of actinic radiation, and in which the photochromic substrate and the second photochromic layer are selected such that the fade half-life of the photochromic substrate or the half-life of the first photochromic layer defining the surface of the substrate are greater than the fade half-life of the second photochromic layer.
