Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dimming films, and in particular to a dye PDLC composition and a PDLC dimming film. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, a large number of electric vehicle brands with Internet genes have entered the market. Benefiting from electric intelligence, the penetration rate of panoramic skylights is getting higher and higher. In addition, it will gradually become a trend for traditional cars to be equipped with panoramic skylights. However, the panoramic glass skylight still has the problem of rising temperature inside the car due to exposure to the sun. Therefore, in view of the common pain points of the current smart electric vehicle skylight products, how to intelligently adjust the light entering the car and achieve a balance between vision and heat while meeting the needs of users in multiple scenarios has become the main research goal.
[0003] The existing smart glass market includes products such as PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal film) smart glass and electrochromic smart glass. Electrochromic smart glass has problems such as complex film layer process, slow response time (8-20s), and blue color in dark state. Although PDLC smart glass can achieve free switching between transparency and haze, it does not block light, does not insulate heat, has a narrow viewing angle, and a narrow full-light dimming range (10-15%), which limits its application.
[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a new PDLC dimming film with excellent performance. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a dye PDLC composition and a PDLC dimming film. The components of the dye PDLC composition provided by the present invention act synergistically, and the PDLC dimming film prepared by using the dye PDLC composition has high off-state haze, low on-state haze and low driving voltage, and has excellent properties such as light absorption and heat insulation, wide full-light dimming range and adjustable color.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a dye PDLC composition, wherein the total weight of the dye PDLC composition is 100%, and the dye PDLC composition comprises the following components in weight percentage:
[0007]
[0008] The polymer precursor comprises an oligomer and an active diluent in a mass ratio of 1:(2-7).
[0009] Wherein, the content of the liquid crystal composition can be 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 66% and the like.
[0010] The content of the anthraquinone-type dichroic dye may be 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, etc.
[0011] The content of the polymer precursor may be 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, etc.
[0012] The content of the photoinitiator can be 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, etc.
[0013] The content of the interstitial particles may be 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, etc.
[0014] The mass ratio of the oligomer to the reactive diluent may be 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, etc.
[0015] The components of the dye PDLC composition provided by the present invention work synergistically, and the PDLC dimming film with high off-state haze, low on-state haze and low voltage drive can be prepared by using the composition. The dimming film has an on-state haze of less than 2.5% at 48V, an off-state haze of greater than 95%, and a contrast ratio of greater than 4. It also has excellent properties such as light absorption and heat insulation, a wide full-light dimming range, and adjustable colors. Specifically:
[0016] The dye PDLC composition provided by the present invention contains anthraquinone-type dichroic dyes. On the one hand, the dye absorbs light, so that the prepared PDLC dimming film can absorb light and insulate heat. On the other hand, the anthraquinone-type dichroic dye is a molecule with dichroism, and has different absorbances along the long axis and short axis of the molecule to show different colors, which can further realize the switching between the bright state and the dark state of the PDLC dimming film, and can greatly improve the full light dimming range of the dimming film. In addition, the color of the PDLC dimming film can be adjusted in multiple colors, and can be customized to black, yellow, red, purple, blue and other monochromes to meet the requirements of buildings, cars, high-speed railways and airplanes for perception. At the same time, the liquid crystal composition provided by the present invention has good mutual solubility with the anthraquinone-type dichroic dye, and the PDLC dimming film prepared by coordinating with other components is not easy to precipitate during the polymerization process, and is not easy to fade, so as to have a lower open-state haze, and the dye will absorb part of the scattered light, which can further reduce the open-state haze. The synergistic effect between the components makes the prepared PDLC dimming film have a higher off-state haze, a lower open-state haze and a lower driving voltage.

[0119] (4) The obtained dye PDLC composition is uniformly coated between two transparent substrates with ITO conductive layers, and a PDLC dimming film is obtained after cutting and UV curing.
[0120] Performance Testing
[0121] (1) The dimming films prepared in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to a 60V, 50Hz sine wave to test the haze and transmittance in the switching state, the contrast of the films was calculated, and the changes in the appearance of the samples were observed.
[0122] The test results are shown in Table 5:

[0126] (2) The dimming films prepared in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to color difference analysis, and the method was as follows: the dye PDLC composition was coated onto two transparent substrates with ITO conductive layers by a coating machine, and the L*, a*, and b* values of the samples were tested before UV curing, which were recorded as L0*, a0*, and b0*; after UV curing, the L*, a*, and b* values of the films were measured again, which were recorded as L1*, a1*, and b1*, and the ΔL*, Δa*, and Δb* values were further calculated, where:
[0127] ΔL*=L0*-L1*;
[0128] Δa*=a0*-a1*;
[0129] Δb*=b0*-b1*;
[0130] Calculate the total color difference ΔE according to the following formula:
[0131] ΔE=[(ΔL*) 2 +(Δa*) 2 +(Δb*) 2 ] 1 / 2 ;
[0132] When ΔE<2, the human eye cannot detect it, thus meeting the color difference change requirement.
[0133] The results are shown in Table 6:
