Description

Beschreibungdescription

Transparente poröse Siθ2-Beschichtung für ein transparentes Substratmaterial,Transparent porous SiO 2 coating for a transparent substrate material,

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der transparenten Materialien, insbesondere der transparenten Materialien, deren Reflexion vermindert wurde.The present invention relates to the field of transparent materials, especially the transparent materials whose reflection has been reduced.

Bei vielen transparenten Materialen, insbesondere transparenten Materialien auf Kunststoffbasis, wie beispielsweise PoIy- carbonat etc. ergibt sich die Schwierigkeit, dass diese z.T. unerwünschte Reflektionseigenschaften haben, welche den Einsatz bei vielen Anwendungen erschweren oder sogar unmöglich machen.In the case of many transparent materials, in particular transparent materials based on plastics, such as, for example, polycarbonate, etc., there is the difficulty that these are in some cases have unwanted reflection properties that make use in many applications difficult or even impossible.

Daher wurden zahlreiche Versuche unternommen, transparente Materialien insbesondere durch Aufbringen weiterer Schichten weniger reflektiv zu gestalten.Therefore, numerous attempts have been made to make transparent materials, in particular by applying further layers less reflective.

Hierzu wurde z.B. vorgeschlagen, durch eine sog ,,flower-like alumina"-Schicht die Reflexion zu vermindern (siehe Yamaguchi et al, Journal of Sol-Gel Science & Technology, 2005, 33, 117-120). Diese Herangehensweise erfordert jedoch einen Tem- perschritt bei erhöhten Temperaturen (ca. 400 0C).For example, it has been proposed to reduce reflection through a so-called "flower-like alumina" layer (see Yamaguchi et al, Journal of Sol-Gel Science & Technology, 2005, 33, 117-120), but this approach requires one TEM Perschmann rode at elevated temperatures (400 0 C).

Andere vorgeschlagene Beschichtungen umfassen Mehrschichtsysteme mit wechselnden Brechungsindices, z.B. Multischichtsys- teme aus Siθ2 und TiÜ2. Auch hier sind jedoch Temperschritte, meist bei Temperaturen über 4000C notwendig (siehe M. Walther, OTTI-Seminar Regensburg, September 2005) . Andere Systeme verwenden Schichten aus Tiθ2 und MgF2 (siehe EP 564 134 Bl), bei denen zusätzlich Fluorkohlenwasserstoffharze vorgesehen sind. Der Nachteil dieses Systems liegt wiederum in der schlechten Aufbringbarkeit .Other proposed coatings include multilayer systems with varying refractive indices, eg multi-layer systems of SiO 2 and TiO 2. Here, too, however, tempering steps, usually at temperatures above 400 0 C are necessary (see M. Walther, OTTI Seminar Regensburg, September 2005). Other systems use layers of TiO 2 and MgF 2 (see EP 564 134 B1), in which fluorohydrocarbon resins are additionally provided. The disadvantage of this system is in turn the poor applicability.

Es stellt sich somit die Aufgabe, eine transparente Beschich- tung für ein transparentes Substratmaterial zu schaffen, wel- che die oben angesprochenen Nachteile zumindest teilweise überwindet und insbesondere auf einfache Weise aufbringbar ist .It is therefore the object to provide a transparent coating for a transparent substrate material, which At least partially overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages and in particular can be applied in a simple manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine transparente Beschichtung nach Anspruch 1 sowie durch das Verfahren nach Anspruch 6 gelöst.This object is achieved by a transparent coating according to claim 1 and by the method according to claim 6.

Demgemäß wird eine transparente Beschichtung für ein transparentes Substratmaterial vorgeschlagen, welche dadurch gekenn- zeichnet ist, dass die Beschichtung auf Siθ2 basiert und eine Porosität von ≥35% bis ≤65% aufweist.Accordingly, a transparent coating for a transparent substrate material is proposed, which is characterized in that the coating is based on SiO 2 and has a porosity of ≥35% to ≤65%.

Die Bezeichnung „basierend auf SiO2" im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung bedeutet oder umfasst insbesondere, dass die Beschichtung Siθ2 als Hauptkomponente enthält. Bevorzugt sind dabei ≥70%, noch bevorzugt ≥80% sowie am meisten bevorzugt >90% bis <100 der Beschichtung aus SiO2.The term "based on SiO 2 " in the sense of the present invention means or comprises in particular that the coating contains SiO 2 as the main component, preferably ≥70%, more preferably ≥80% and most preferably> 90% to <100% of the coating made of SiO 2 .

Die Bezeichnung „transparent" im Sinne der vorliegenden Er- findung bedeutet oder umfasst dabei insbesondere eine Durchlässigkeit von ≥90% im jeweilig verwendeten Wellenlängenbereich, insbesondere im sichtbaren Wellenlängenbereich.The term "transparent" in the sense of the present invention means or in particular includes a permeability of ≥90% in the respectively used wavelength range, in particular in the visible wavelength range.

Durch eine solche erfindungsgemäße Siθ2-Beschichtung kann in vielen Anwendungen innerhalb der vorliegenden Erfindung einer oder mehrere der folgenden Vorteile erzielt werden:By means of such an SiO 2 coating according to the invention, one or more of the following advantages can be achieved in many applications within the present invention:

Die Beschichtung ist im Wesentlichen homogen und für viele Anwendungen reicht eine einzige Beschichtung aus (anders als bei den oben aufgeführten Mehrschichtsystemen) .The coating is substantially homogeneous, and for many applications, a single coating is sufficient (unlike the multilayer systems listed above).

Die Beschichtung kann - wie im Folgenden noch beschrieben wird - bei den meisten Anwendungen innerhalb der vorliegenden Erfindung durch einfaches Tauchen aufgebracht werden, so dass aufwendige und insbesondere bei hoher Temperatur durchzuführende Aufbringungsschritte vermieden werden können. Die Dicke der hergestellten Beschichtung beträgt - wie im Folgenden noch beschrieben wird - bei vielen Anwendungen im Bereich von 50- 200 Nanometern. Sie ist daher weitgehend unempfindlich gegenüber thermischem und mechanischem Stress (insbesondere Biegebelastung) und be- einflusst Bauteilabmessungen und Toleranzen nur unwesentlich.The coating can - as will be described below - be applied in most applications within the present invention by simple dipping, so that consuming and to be carried out in particular at high temperature application steps can be avoided. The thickness of the coating produced is - as will be described below - in many applications in the range of 50-200 nanometers. It is therefore largely insensitive to thermal and mechanical stress (in particular bending stress) and has only insignificant effects on component dimensions and tolerances.

Gemäß einer mehr bevorzugten Ausführungsform beträgt die Porosität der Beschichtung ≥40% bis ≤60%, noch bevorzugt ≥45% bis <55%.According to a more preferred embodiment, the porosity of the coating is ≥40% to ≤60%, more preferably ≥45% to <55%.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist dadurch ge- kennzeichnet, dass die Dicke der Beschichtung bei ≥95 nm bis ≤135 nm liegt.

This has proven to be particularly favorable for many applications. Preferably, the thickness of the coating is ≥IOO nm to ≤ 130 nm.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Brechungsindex ni der Beschichtung bei ≥0,8 * bis ≤1,2 * liegt, wobei n2 der Brechungsin¬ dex des Substrats ist. In diesem Fall kann für viele Anwendungen innerhalb der vorliegenden Erfindung die Reflexion nochmals vermindert werden. Bevorzugt liegt der Brechungsindex ni der Beschichtung bei ≥O, 9 * bis ≤1,1 * A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the refractive index ni of the coating at ≥0.8 * to ≤1.2 * is wherein n is 2 the Brechungsin ¬ dex of the substrate. In this case, for many applications within the present invention, the reflection can be further reduced. The refractive index ni of the coating is preferably ≥O, 9 * up to ≤1,1 *

Der Term „im wesentlichen" bezeichnet dabei insbesondere ≥90 Vol-%, bevorzugt ≥95 Vol-% der Beschichtung.The term "essentially" designates in particular ≥90 vol%, preferably ≥95 vol% of the coating.

Dadurch kann bei vielen Anwendungen innerhalb der vorliegenden Erfindung eine einfach herstellbare und noch weiter re- flektionsmindernde Beschichtung erreicht werden. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Beschichtung transmissionserhöhende Eigenschaften, insbesondere für Licht im sichtbaren Wellen- längenbereich, aufweist.As a result, in many applications within the present invention, an easily producible and even further reflection-reducing coating can be achieved.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der durchschnittliche Durchmesser der Poren von ≥5 nm bis ≤50 nm beträgt. Dies hat sich bei vielen Anwendungen der vorliegenden Erfindung als besonders günstig für die antireflektiven Eigenschaften der Beschichtung herausgestellt. Bevorzugt beträgt der durchschnittliche Durchmesser der Poren von ≥IO nm bis ≤40 nm, noch bevorzugt ≥IO nm bis ≤25 nm.A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the average diameter of the pores is from ≥ 5 nm to ≦ 50 nm. This has been found in many applications of the present invention to be particularly favorable for the antireflective properties of the coating.

„Im wesentlichen" bedeutet dabei, dass ≥90% der Poren, bevorzugt ≥95% der Poren sowie am meisten bevorzugt ≥98% der Poren dieser Verteilung folgen."Essentially" means that ≥90% of the pores, preferably ≥95% of the pores and most preferably ≥98% of the pores follow this distribution.

Eine derartige Verteilung hat sich für viele Anwendungen der vorliegenden Erfindung als besonders günstig herausgestellt, da so eine optisch besonders homogene Beschichtung erreicht werden kann. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Beschichtung mittels eines Sol-Gel- Verfahrens hergestellt wird.Such a distribution has been found to be particularly favorable for many applications of the present invention, since an optically highly homogeneous coating can be achieved in this way. A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the coating is produced by means of a sol-gel process.

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich außerdem auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer transparenten Beschichtung für ein transparentes Substratmaterial, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Verfahren auf einem Sol-Gel-Prozess beruht.The present invention also relates to a method for producing a transparent coating for a transparent substrate material, characterized in that the method is based on a sol-gel process.
