The invention relates to the technical field of
optical glass manufacturing, in particular to high-refractive-index glass as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
transition metal is less than 4 ppm by
mass, and the
transition metal comprises one or more of Fe, Cr, Ni, Cu, Mn, Co and V; the
oxide is prepared from the following components in mole percent based on the
oxide: 17 mol% to 49 mol% of Bi2O3, 2.7 mol% to 15.7 mol% of Nb2O5, 8.5 mol% to 39 mol% of TeO2, 2 mol% to 19.5 mol% of P2O5, 11.3 mol% to 41 mol% of B2O3, 0 mol% to 1 mol% of TiO2, 0 mol% to 1 mol% of Ta2O5, 0 mol% to 1 mol% of WO3 and 0.5 mol% to 16.5 mol% of ZnO, and Bi2O3 / (TeO2 + TiO2 + WO3 + Nb2O5 + Bi2O3) * 100 is more than or equal to 30 and less than or equal to 75. Tests show that when the thickness of the glass is 10 mm, the
refractive index of the glass is 2.09-2.35, and the
transmittance of the glass with the
wavelength lambda 70 smaller than 450 nm is 82.4%-96.8%. The problems that in the prior art, high-refractive-index glass is low in
refractive index and light
transmittance and low in performance and cost ratio, and the increasingly-developed
visual experience and development requirements of head-mounted displays cannot be met are solved.
