no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0036] figure 1 It is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the first embodiment of the optical component of the present invention. figure 2 It is a figure which shows typically an example of the particle size distribution of the silica particle which comprises the anti-reflection film of the optical component of this invention.

[0037] Such as figure 1 As shown, the optical component P10 of this embodiment includes a base material P1 and an anti-reflection film P2 containing silica particles P21.

[0038] In addition, the silica particles P21 contained in the anti-reflection film P2 have a predetermined particle size distribution.

[0039] That is, the silica particles P21 contained in the anti-reflection film P2 have the first maximum value MV1 in the range of 1.5 nm to 2.5 nm (the first range R1) in the number-based particle size distribution, which is at 3.5 nm There is a second maximum value MV2 in the above 4.5nm range (second range R2), and a third maximum value MV3 i...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0104] image 3 It is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the second embodiment of the optical component of the present invention. In the following description, differences from the above-mentioned embodiment will be mainly described, and description of the same matters will be omitted.

[0105] Such as image 3 As shown, the optical component P10 of this embodiment includes a substrate P1, an anti-reflection film P2 containing silica particles P21, and a base layer P3.

[0106] By having the base layer P3 in this way, for example, the close adhesion between the base material P1 and the anti-reflection film P2 (adherence via the base layer P3) can be particularly excellent, and the durability and reliability of the optical component P10 can be particularly excellent . As the constituent material of the base layer P3, for example, various resin materials, SiO 2 Wait.

[0107] The thickness of the base layer P3 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 5 nm or more a...

Embodiment 1

[0176] The glass cover which is an optical component is manufactured by the method shown below.

[0177] First, a plate (glass plate) made of sapphire glass is prepared as a base material (base material preparation step), and necessary parts are cut and polished. The base material after cutting and grinding is approximately disc-shaped, with a size of diameter: 30 mm × thickness: 1 mm.

[0178] Next, the surface of the base material on the side where the anti-reflection film is to be formed is subjected to an ultraviolet irradiation treatment to irradiate ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 248 nm.

[0179] Next, the composition for forming an anti-reflection film is applied to the entire one surface of the substrate by a spraying method (the composition applying step for forming an anti-reflection film).

[0180] As a composition for forming an anti-reflection film, tin oxide (SnO) which is a mixture of silica particles and conductive particles (conductive transparent metal oxide p...

Abstract

An optical component includes a base material and an antireflection film containing silica particles, wherein the silica particles have a first local maximum in the range of 1.5 nm or more and 2.5 nm or less (a first range), a second local maximum in the range of 3.5 nm or more and 4.5 nm or less (a second range), and a third local maximum in the range of 7.5 nm or more and 8.5 nm or less (a third range) in a number-based particle size distribution. It is preferred that the silica particles have a fourth local maximum in the range of 5.5 nm or more and 6.5 nm or less in the number-based particle size distribution(a fourth range).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to optical components and timepieces. Background technique [0002] In optical parts such as timepiece glass covers, for the purpose of improving visibility on the opposite surface side, an anti-reflection film is provided to prevent light reflection. [0003] Conventionally, in order to obtain a sufficient anti-reflection function, there is an optical component having a complicated structure in which a plurality of layers are laminated (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In addition, in the past, since the layers constituting the anti-reflection film were formed by the vapor phase film formation method, the productivity of the optical component was poor and the production cost was also high. [0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-37115 Summary of the invention [0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an optical component provided with an anti-reflection film having an...
