This invention relates to the field of optical functional thin film technology, and discloses a
coating solution and an antireflective film. The
coating solution comprises, by volume, the following components: 1-3 parts of a hollow
silica nanoparticle dispersion with a
solid content of 15-25%; 3-5 parts of silica
sol; 1-3 parts of a film-forming aid; and 8-12 parts of an
aqueous solution of an organic temporary binder with a
solid content of 0.05-0.2%. In this invention, by combining the hollow particle framework responsible for optical performance with the silica
sol binder responsible for
mechanical strength, and supplementing it with
process control components such as the organic temporary binder and film-forming aid, an antireflective film that maintains a low
refractive index while possessing good
mechanical strength, adhesion, and durability can be prepared. The
effective refractive index of the antireflective film can be controlled between 1.20 and 1.35 by adjusting the formulation ratio, achieving a good match with the refractive indices of air and the optical substrate. The antireflective film of this invention maintains a low
refractive index and
broadband antireflective performance while also possessing good
mechanical strength, adhesion, and
environmental stability.
