Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical films, and in particular to a single-layer PET reflective film and a backlight module. Background Art

[0002] The reflector reflects the unscattered light source back into the light conduction area. The reflection method of the reflector is mirror reflection, which improves the utilization rate of light.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 There is an optical reflector currently on the market, and this reflector is formed by sputtering a metallic silver reflective material on a base coating of a PET substrate and then coating it with a protective coating. However, the shortcomings of this reflector are: first, due to the inadequate protection of the protective coating, the metallic silver coating will be affected by the ambient temperature and humidity and produce oxidation discoloration, thereby affecting the reflection efficiency of the reflector; second, the quality of this reflector is affected by the thickness of the metallic silver reflective material. When the thickness of the metallic silver reflective layer is not enough, the metallic silver cannot form an effective reflection on the PET substrate, so that the incident light penetrates through the silver layer and is emitted from the side of the reflector away from the incident light, thereby reducing the utilization rate of light. When the thickness of the metallic silver reflective layer is thicker, the production cost of the reflector increases due to the high price of metallic silver.

[0004] Attached Figure 2 This is a reflective sheet structure (named GF-80D2) that is currently being mass-produced by the creator of this exercise. The reflective sheet includes a PET bottom mold, an aluminum film is coated on the bottom mold, a glue layer is set on the aluminum film (the glue layer thickness is set to 3 to 5μm), a silver film is set on the glue layer, and finally a PET top mold layer is set on the silver layer. When light enters from the PET top mold layer of the reflective sheet, reflection occurs when passing through the PET top film layer, the light input is reduced, and the light loss is serious. In practice, the PET bottom mold coated with aluminum film is laminated with the PET top film coated with silver film. When the silver film and the aluminum film are laminated, there is also a problem of warping due to the different shrinkage rates of the metal films. The warping problem increases as the thickness of the PET film decreases.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, a non-glue continuous metal plating design (vacuum plating) is currently used to form an effective shielding, and the design reduces the bonding process and can reduce the thickness of the silver layer.

[0006] However, the main problem with the optical reflector using a non-adhesive continuous metal coating design is how to protect the reflective silver layer, that is, how to effectively prevent the silver reflective layer from being oxidized.

[0007] Therefore, the creator of this exercise combined his own production and processing needs to design a single-layer PET reflective film that uses an organic coating to protect the metal reflective layer and does not hinder the entry and exit of light. Summary of the invention

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 3 , a single-layer PET reflective film, comprising:

[0030] A PET substrate 100, where two end surfaces of the PET substrate 100 are defined as a light incident side 001 and a backlight side 002; in practice, the PET substrate can be selected from transparent, white, black, or gray PET;

[0031] A primer layer 200 is coated on the light incident side of the PET substrate 100. In practice, the primer layer 200 needs to have good ductility. When a cutting machine is used to cut the entire reflective sheet into a single reflective sheet, the primer layer 200 will cover the side of the reflective layer 300 provided on the primer layer 200, thereby preventing the main reflective layer of the reflective layer 300 from being oxidized. At the same time, the primer layer 200 also has the function of blocking air and water for the PET substrate 100. In this embodiment, the primer layer 200 is a hardened coating of one of olefin copolymer TOPAS 9506F-04, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-04, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-400, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 6013F-04 and cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-600.

[0032] A metal reflective layer 300 is vacuum-plated on the base coating layer 200. In this embodiment, the metal reflective layer 300 is a pure silver reflective layer;

[0033] A protective layer 400, comprising a first protective coating 401 disposed on the metal reflective layer 300 and a second protective coating 402 disposed on the first protective coating 401, wherein the refractive index of the first protective coating 401 is greater than the refractive index of the second protective coating 402;

[0034] Among them, the thickness of the PET substrate 100 is 50 to 300 μm, preferably 75 μm, the thickness of the primer layer 200 is 0.5 to 1.5 μm, preferably 1.0 μm, the thickness of the metal reflective layer 300 is 120 to 320 nm, preferably 230 nm, the thickness of the first protective coating 401 is 3 to 8 μm, preferably 5 μm, and its refractive index n is 1.50-1.55, preferably the refractive index n is 1.53, the thickness of the second protective coating 402 is 2 to 5 μm, preferably 3 μm, and its refractive index n is 1.47 to 1.50, preferably the refractive index n is 1.5.

[0035] It should be noted that the first protective coating 401 and the second protective coating 402 in this embodiment are combined into an anti-reflection layer, which helps to improve visible penetration and does not prevent reflection penetration. In this embodiment, the difference between the high and low refractive indexes of the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 is reduced, that is, the refractive indexes of the reflection penetration of the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 are balanced, so as to achieve the oxidation and hardening of the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 to protect the metal reflection layer 300. In this embodiment, the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 are not emphasized. The reflection or increase of the light of the reflective sheet is also utilized, but the double-layer film anti-reflection principle of the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 is also utilized, and the incident light anti-reflection is generated by the difference in the high and low refractive indexes of the two protective layers; for the refractive index of the first protective coating 401 and the second protective coating 402, when the refractive index of the second protective coating 402 changes with the refractive index of the first protective coating 401, that is, when the first protective coating 401 with a small refractive index is selected, the refractive index of the second protective coating 402 is also selected to be relatively small. In practice, the refractive index difference between the first protective coating 401 and the second protective coating 402 is selected to be 0.2-0.3.

[0036] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first protective coating 401 is a hardened coating of one of cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 9506F-04, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-04, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-400, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS6013F-04 and cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-600. The so-called cyclic olefin copolymer is a COC material. In this embodiment, it is coated on the metal silver reflective layer 300 to form a protective film. In this embodiment, the water vapor permeability (38°C, 90%RH) of the first protective layer 401 after hardening is 0.85g·100μm / (m 2 ·day).

[0037] It can be understood that in this embodiment, in order to achieve the high hardness and low shrinkage performance of the second protective layer 402, the second protective layer 402 can select a UV-7600B hard optical film with a viscosity of 2000-4000mPa·s / 25°C, a molecular weight of 1400MW, a pencil hardness of 3H, and a curing shrinkage of 6.3%, a UV-7640B hard optical film with a viscosity of 2000-5000mPa·s / 25°C, a molecular weight of 1500MW, a pencil hardness of 3H-4H, and a curing shrinkage of 6.6%, and a UV-7630B plastic hard coating with a viscosity of 3000-7000mPa·s / 25°C, a molecular weight of 2200MW, a pencil hardness of 3H, and a curing shrinkage of 6.4%; the above-mentioned hard optical films and plastic hard coatings are products of the Mitsubishi SHIKOH hard film series. In practice, other hard films that meet the requirements of high hardness and low shrinkage can also be used.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figure 4 , a single-layer PET reflective film, comprising:

[0040] A PET substrate 100, where two end surfaces of the PET substrate 100 are defined as a light incident side 001 and a backlight side 002; in practice, the PET substrate can be selected from transparent, white, black, or gray PET;

[0041] A primer layer 200 is coated on the light incident side of the PET substrate 100. In practice, the primer layer 200 needs to have good ductility. When a cutting machine is used to cut the entire reflective sheet into a single reflective sheet, the primer layer 200 will cover the side of the reflective layer 300 provided on the primer layer 200, thereby preventing the main reflective layer of the reflective layer 300 from being oxidized. At the same time, the primer layer 200 also has the function of blocking air and water for the PET substrate 100. In this embodiment, the primer layer 200 is a hardened coating of one of olefin copolymer TOPAS 9506F-04, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-04, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-400, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 6013F-04 and cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-600.

[0042] A metal reflective layer 300 is vacuum-deposited on the base coating layer 200 , wherein the metal reflective layer 300 includes a thickness compensation layer 301 evaporated or sputtered on the base coating layer 200 and a silver reflective layer 302 evaporated or sputtered on the thickness compensation layer 301;

[0043] A protective layer 400, comprising a first protective coating 401 disposed on the metal reflective layer 300 and a second protective coating 402 disposed on the first protective coating 401, wherein the refractive index of the first protective coating 401 is greater than the refractive index of the second protective coating 402;

[0044] Among them, the thickness of the PET substrate 100 is 50-300 μm, preferably 75 μm, the thickness of the primer layer 200 is 0.5-1.5 μm, preferably 1.0 μm, the thickness of the thickness compensation layer 301 is 60-200 nm, preferably 150 nm, the thickness of the silver reflective layer 302 is 60-120 nm, preferably 80 nm, the thickness of the first protective coating 401 is 3-8 μm, preferably 5 μm, and its refractive index n is 1.50-1.55, preferably the refractive index n is 1.53, the thickness of the second protective coating 402 is 2-5 μm, preferably 3 μm, and its refractive index n is 1.47-1.50, preferably the refractive index n is 1.5.

[0045] It should be noted that the first protective coating 401 and the second protective coating 402 in this embodiment are combined into an anti-reflection layer, which helps to improve visible penetration and does not prevent reflection penetration. In this embodiment, the difference between the high and low refractive indexes of the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 is reduced, that is, the refractive indexes of the reflection penetration of the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 are balanced, so as to achieve the oxidation and hardening of the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 to protect the metal reflection layer 300. In this embodiment, the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 are not emphasized. The reflection or increase of the light of the reflective sheet is also utilized, but the double-layer film anti-reflection principle of the first protective layer 401 and the second protective layer 402 is also utilized, and the incident light anti-reflection is generated by the difference in the high and low refractive indexes of the two protective layers; for the refractive index of the first protective coating 401 and the second protective coating 402, when the refractive index of the second protective coating 402 changes with the refractive index of the first protective coating 401, that is, when the first protective coating 401 with a small refractive index is selected, the refractive index of the second protective coating 402 is also selected to be relatively small. In practice, the refractive index difference between the first protective coating 401 and the second protective coating 402 is selected to be 0.2-0.3.

[0046] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first protective coating 401 is a hardened coating of one of cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 9506F-04, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-04, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-400, cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS6013F-04 and cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-600. The so-called cyclic olefin copolymer is a COC material. In this embodiment, the above cyclic olefin copolymer is coated on the metal silver reflective layer 300 to form a protective film. In this embodiment, the water vapor permeability (38°C, 90%RH) of the first protective layer 401 after hardening is 0.85g·100μm / (m 2 ·day).

[0047] It can be understood that in this embodiment, in order to achieve the high hardness and low shrinkage performance of the second protective layer 402, the second protective layer 402 can select a UV-7600B hard optical film with a viscosity of 2000-4000mPa·s / 25°C, a molecular weight of 1400MW, a pencil hardness of 3H, and a curing shrinkage of 6.3%, a UV-7640B hard optical film with a viscosity of 2000-5000mPa·s / 25°C, a molecular weight of 1500MW, a pencil hardness of 3H-4H, and a curing shrinkage of 6.6%, and a UV-7630B plastic hard coating with a viscosity of 3000-7000mPa·s / 25°C, a molecular weight of 2200MW, a pencil hardness of 3H, and a curing shrinkage of 6.4%; the above-mentioned hard optical films and plastic hard coatings are products of the Mitsubishi SHIKOH hard film series. In practice, other hard films that meet the requirements of high hardness and low shrinkage can also be used.

[0048] It can be understood that in this embodiment, due to the lower activity of silver than other metals or alloys, silver will not be more active than other metals at the anode position, oxidation can be suppressed, and the thickness of the silver layer and light leakage can be compensated at the same time. The thickness compensation layer 301 is an aluminum metal layer evaporated or sputtered on the base coating 200, or a titanium metal layer evaporated or sputtered on the base coating 200, or an aluminum-titanium alloy layer sputtered on the base coating 200.
