Problems solved by technology

However, these materials have a refractive index in the range of about 1.95 to about 2.05 at a wavelength of 550 nm, and cannot be used as high refractive index materials (n > 2.05) and low refractive index materials (n < 1.95) for optical adjustment.
In addition, ITO has the problem of heating the substrate during film formation in order to increase the transmittance, or requiring annealing after film formation, making it difficult to use for plastic substrates that cannot be heated, organic EL devices, etc.
In addition, there is a problem with IZO that it absorbs on the short wavelength side, so it becomes a yellowish film

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an oxide sintered body, an oxide sputtering target, a conductive oxide thin film with high refractive index and a method for manufacturing an oxide sintered body, in particular to the sputtering of a sintered body with low bulk resistance and capable of DC sputtering A target and a high-refractive-index film produced using the sputtering target. Background technique [0002] When using visible light in various optical devices such as displays and touch panels, the materials used need to be transparent, and in particular, high transmittance is desired over the entire visible light region. In addition, in various optical devices, light loss caused by the difference in refractive index at the interface between the film material and the substrate sometimes occurs. As a method to improve these light losses, there are methods for adjusting the refractive index and optical film thickness. A method for optically adjusting films. The ...
