Abstract

The invention provides a sub-wavelength grating true color element and a color generating product containing the same. The sub-wavelength grating true color element is composed of seven structural layers, orderly including a media layer, a media grating layer, the media layer, a media-metal grating layer, the media grating layer, the media-metal grating layer and the media layer from bottom to top, wherein the media layers are uniform thin layers composed of transparent media, and the media grating layer and the media-metal grating layer are respectively sub-wavelength grating layers composed of combination of transparent media and transparent media and combination of transparent media and metal material arranged at intervals. Just by the change of the cycle of the sub-wavelength grating true color element and the change of depth parameters of a few of structural layers, the sub-wavelength grating true color element can present various colorful appearances under s and p polarized white light and non-polarized white light and has a special light and color changing effect, and the sub-wavelength grating true color element can be used in the fields, such as colored decoration, optical anti-counterfeiting and structure color imaging.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sub-wavelength grating true-color element and a color-presenting product containing the element, which can be applied to the fields of color decoration, optical anti-counterfeiting, structural color imaging and the like. Background technique [0002] Color is usually caused by the absorption of specific wavelength bands of incident light by pigments or dyes, but it can also be produced by the diffraction, interference and scattering of incident light by ordered and disordered microstructures such as gratings and multilayer films. The colors are often called structural colors. Compared with traditional pigment coloration, structural color has more types, higher saturation, and more stable color. In addition, it can also show unique color change characteristics such as light color change, polarization color change, etc., which makes it used in color decoration, High-end optical anti-counterfeiting and color imaging have good a...
