Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of low-temperature coating technology, specifically to a film structure with the same reflectivity in the visible light band and its coating process. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of smartphones, people have begun to pursue differentiation in phone appearance, seeking more unique looks and colors, leading to the development of phone back cover decoration. Back cover glass surface decoration shares similarities with ordinary glass surface decoration, but the decoration methods must be simple in process, low in cost, and easy to mechanize production. Some complex, manually operated surface decoration methods that cause significant pollution are not suitable for phone back cover production. There are two main types of phone back cover glass surface decoration methods: one is to directly decorate the surface of the glass back cover, and the other is to adhere a decorative film to the back cover glass.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, although surface decoration directly on the glass back cover can achieve an aesthetic effect, due to the characteristics of the glass substrate, the surface is easily scratched and broken, which may cause injury to people. On the other hand, attaching a decorative film to the back cover glass can also achieve a decorative effect, but due to the transmission and reflection characteristics of the film material, there are defects that are easily noticed by the human eye.

[0004] Therefore, providing a novel film structure with the same reflectivity in the visible light band and its coating process to solve the aforementioned defects in mobile phone back cover decoration is a major problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a film structure and coating process with the same reflectivity in the visible light band. The technical solution provided by the present invention produces a film material that maintains the same transmittance in the visible light band. While achieving this characteristic, the color index of the film material approaches 0, meaning it appears transparent and colorless. Thus, when the film material is adhered to the back cover, its structure is not clearly discernible to the naked eye. This maintains the visual aesthetics of glass while also providing scratch and drop protection. Furthermore, due to its reflectivity, the film material can also be used as a mirror.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0035] 1. Compared with direct decoration on the back cover glass, the technical solution of the present invention improves the adhesion of the film by bombarding the surface of the film material with monocrystalline silicon. The resulting film material can effectively prevent the risk of scratches on the back cover glass. At the same time, the film material attached to the glass also has an explosion-proof effect. Even if the glass breaks due to excessive force, the broken glass will adhere to the surface of the film material to prevent it from causing harm to the human body.

[0036] 2. Compared with traditional decorative films, this invention improves the reflectivity of the film material by using silicon nitride and niobium pentoxide, absorbing yellow light and effectively adjusting color indicators. Without affecting the thickness of the silicon nitride and silicon oxide film layers, the residual use of niobium pentoxide can remove various dazzling colors. In the visible light band, the transmittance is around 80%, the reflectivity is around 20%, and the product's color b-value is <1, approaching 0, thus removing various dazzling colors. While maintaining the various visual characteristics of the glass, the film structure covering the back of the glass is difficult for the naked eye to distinguish, improving the aesthetics and practicality of the glass. At the same time, because the film material has a certain reflectivity, it can also be used as a mirror. Attached Figure Description

[0108] Comparative Example

[0109] Comparative Example 1:

[0110] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that in Comparative Example 1, steps S2, S3, and S4, which originally existed in Example 1, were omitted, thereby eliminating the steps of "deposition of the first silicon nitride layer", "deposition of the second silicon nitride layer", "deposition of the third silicon nitride layer", "deposition of the niobium pentoxide layer", and "modification of the niobium pentoxide layer". In Comparative Example 1, a 20 nm silicon nitride layer is formed by a single deposition, and the silicon oxide film layer is deposited with a thickness of 10 nm in step S5. The remaining steps are exactly the same as those in Example 1.

[0111] Comparative Example 2:

[0112] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that steps S2, S3, and S4, which were originally present in Example 1, were omitted in Comparative Example 2, thereby eliminating the steps of "deposition of the first silicon nitride layer", "deposition of the second silicon nitride layer", "deposition of the third silicon nitride layer", "deposition of the niobium pentoxide layer", and "modification of the niobium pentoxide layer". In Comparative Example 2, a 30 nm silicon nitride layer is formed by a single deposition, and the silicon oxide film layer is deposited with a thickness of 20 nm in step S5. The remaining steps are exactly the same as those in Example 1.

[0113] Comparative Example 3:

[0114] The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that steps S2, S3, and S4, which were originally present in Example 1, were omitted in Comparative Example 3, thereby eliminating the steps of "deposition of niobium pentoxide layer" and "modification of niobium pentoxide layer". A silicon nitride layer with a total thickness of 30 nm was formed by three depositions, and a silicon oxide film layer with a thickness of 20 nm was deposited in step S5. The remaining steps are exactly the same in Comparative Example 3 and Example 1.

[0115] Comparative Example 4:

[0116] The only difference between Comparative Example 4 and Example 1 is that steps S2, S3, and S4, which were originally present in Example 1, were omitted in Comparative Example 4, thereby eliminating the steps of "deposition of niobium pentoxide layer" and "modification of niobium pentoxide layer". In Comparative Example 4, the thickness of the silicon nitride film after three depositions is 20 nm, and the thickness of the silicon oxide film in step S5 is 10 nm. The remaining steps are exactly the same as those in Example 1.

[0117] The presence or absence of niobium pentoxide in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5, and the corresponding transmittance and reflectance at the 550nm wavelength were measured. The results are shown in the table below:

[0118]

[0119]

[0120] The test results in the table show that the color indicators of Examples 1-3 are significantly better than those of Comparative Examples 1-5. Taking the visible light band of 550nm as an example, the transmittance of 550nm is about 80%, the reflectance is about 20%, and the color B value is <1. Therefore, the film structure with the same reflectance in the visible light band provided by the present invention is reliable. At the same time, there are significant differences in the color indicators between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5. This invention demonstrates that, based on the modification of silicon nitride film with niobium pentoxide, and with the silicon nitride film thickness between 30-40 nm and the silicon oxide film thickness between 20-30 nm, without affecting the overall thickness of the silicon nitride film, the method of first coating and then cleaning allows a residual portion of the niobium pentoxide film to remain on the surface of the silicon nitride film. Based on the inherent properties of niobium pentoxide, its combination with the silicon nitride film can effectively adjust color indicators. In the visible light band, the transmittance is around 80%, the reflectance is around 20%, and the product's color b-value is <1, approaching 0. This eliminates various dazzling colors, and while maintaining the various visual characteristics of the glass, the film structure covering the back of the glass is difficult for the naked eye to distinguish, improving the aesthetics and practicality of the glass.

[0121] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
