Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to fluoro-phosphate glass, a near-infrared cut-off filter, and an imaging device, and particularly to a color correction filter for a solid-state imaging element used in a digital camera, a color video camera, etc., and more particularly to fluoro-phosphate glass, a near-infrared cut-off filter, and an imaging device having excellent light transmittance in the visible light region and light absorbance in the near-infrared light region. Background Art

[0002] Solid-state imaging elements such as CCDs and CMOSs used in digital cameras and the like have spectral sensitivity from the visible light region to the near-infrared light region around 1200 nm. Therefore, the solid-state imaging element itself cannot obtain good color reproducibility, and thus a near-infrared cut-off filter glass containing a specific substance that absorbs infrared rays is used to correct the visual sensitivity of the solid-state imaging element.

[0003] Regarding this near-infrared cut-off filter glass, an optical glass in which Cu is added to fluoro-phosphate glass has been developed and used to selectively absorb wavelengths in the near-infrared light region and have high weather resistance. Compositions of these glasses are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3.

[0008] Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-137100 Summary of the Invention

[0009] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0010] In recent years, the thinning and lightening of PCs and cameras have been continuously developed, and along with this, there is a demand for ultra-wide-angle lenses. When the lens is made wide-angle, the back focal length becomes short, and thus there is a demand for thinning of the near-infrared cut-off filter provided therein.

[0011] However, when the near-infrared cut-off filter is thinned, the amount of light absorbed by Cu contained in the glass 2+ decreases, and thus the absorption of light having wavelengths in the near-infrared light region becomes weak. In addition, when the amount of Cu is increased in order to increase the amount of light absorbed by Cu 2+ the content of Cu that absorbs light having wavelengths in the visible light region + increases, and thus the light transmittance in the visible light region decreases.

[0012] In addition, when the melting temperature is lowered to obtain a high light transmittance in the visible light region, there are also the following problems: generation of foreign matter of un-melted raw materials, non-uniformity of the molten liquid due to increased viscosity, and deterioration of quality.

[0046] Hereinafter, modes for implementing the present invention will be described in detail. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. The scale of the drawings is not necessarily accurate, and some features may be exaggerated or omitted.

[0047] In addition, in the specification of the present application, "α to β" representing a range means "α or more and β or less".

[0048] <Fluoro-Phosphate Glass>

[0049] The fluoro-phosphate glass according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, also referred to as the fluoro-phosphate glass of the present embodiment or simply as fluoro-phosphate glass or glass) is characterized by containing P, Cu, Mo, and F, and the content ratio of Mo 6+ and Cu 2+ (Mo 6+ / Cu 2+ is 0.01 to 0.39 based on the mass basis.

[0050] In a fluoro-phosphate glass containing P and F, by containing Mo while containing Cu and adjusting the content ratio of Cu and Mo to a specific range, it is possible to suppress the light transmittance in the near-infrared light region to be low while maintaining a high light transmittance in the visible light region. The reason is not yet determined, but the speculation is as follows.

[0051] That is, when Cu is contained in the glass in the state of Cu 2+ or Cu + , Cu 2+ is a component that absorbs light with wavelengths in the near-infrared light region, so the light transmittance in the near-infrared light region is suppressed to be low. However, Cu + is a component that absorbs light with wavelengths in the visible light region, so the light transmittance in the visible light region becomes low. Here, it is known that Mo exists in the glass in the form of Mo 6+ (hexavalent). However, when Mo and Cu are added to the fluoro-phosphate glass at the same time, Cu + in the glass releases electrons (e - ) and becomes Cu 2+ (Cu + →Cu 2+ +e - ), and Mo 6+ accepts the electrons released by Cu + and becomes Mo 5+ (pentavalent) (Mo 6+ +e - →Mo 5+ ). As a result, the proportion of the existence of Cu + (monovalent) having an absorption characteristic near 300 nm to 600 nm in wavelength decreases, and the light transmittance of light with wavelengths of 400 nm to 540 nm increases. It is considered that Mo 5+ has the characteristic of absorbing light with a wavelength of about 400 nm, and it is considered that the light transmittance of light with a wavelength of about 400 nm does not increase for this reason. In the past, fluoro-phosphate glass containing Cu and Mo was unknown, and the above content is considered to be a new insight discovered by the inventors. On the other hand, when the content of Mo increases, the influence of the absorption of light with wavelengths in the visible light region generated by Mo 5+ is enhanced, and the transmittance in the visible light region decreases. Therefore, it is considered important to adjust the content ratio of Cu and Mo to a specific range.

[0052] It should be noted that the present invention is not limitedly interpreted as the above mechanism of action.

[0053] The components of the fluoro-phosphate glass that can constitute the present embodiment and their suitable contents will be described below. In the specification of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the contents of the components and the total content are in mass%. In addition, the transmittance of the glass of the present embodiment includes the reflection characteristics of the glass surface (that is, it is not the internal transmittance of the glass).

[0054] In the fluoro-phosphate glass of the present embodiment, P is contained in the form of P 5+ .

[0055] P 5+ is the main component for forming the fluoro-phosphate glass and is an essential component for improving the near-infrared cut-off property. If the content of P 5+ is 30% or more, its effect can be fully obtained. If the content of P 5+ is 70% or less, problems such as the glass becoming unstable or the weather resistance decreasing are not likely to occur. Therefore, the content of P 5+ is preferably 30% to 70%. The content of P 5+ is more preferably 32% or more, further preferably 34% or more, still further preferably 35% or more, most preferably 36% or more. In addition, it is more preferably 60% or less, further preferably 50% or less, still further preferably 45% or less, and most preferably 43% or less.

[0056] It should be noted that, from the viewpoints of suppressing the erosion of the platinum crucible and suppressing the volatilization of the components, phosphoric acid or its salts are preferably used as the raw materials of P 5+ .

[0057] In the fluoro-phosphate glass of the present embodiment, F is contained in the form of F - .

[0058] F - is an essential component for stabilizing the glass and improving the weather resistance. In the specification of the present application, when the component elements other than F - contained in the glass are set to 100% by mass, the content of F - contained in the glass is expressed as an external addition ratio.

[0059] F - The content of is preferably 5% to 70% in terms of the external addition ratio. If the content of F - is 5% or more in terms of the external addition ratio, the effect of weather resistance can be fully obtained. When the content of F - is 70% or less in terms of the external addition ratio, problems such as a decrease in the transmittance of light in the visible light region, or a decrease in mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, and elastic modulus, or an increase in the ultraviolet transmittance are not likely to occur. F -The content is more preferably 6% or more, further preferably 8% or more, still further preferably 8.5% or more, and most preferably 10% or more in terms of the externally added ratio. Additionally, it is more preferably 60% or less, further preferably 50% or less, still further preferably 40% or less, and most preferably 25% or less in terms of the externally added ratio.

[0060] In the fluoro-phosphate glass of the present embodiment, Cu is contained in the form of Cu + or Cu 2+ , but the content in the case where all exist in the form of Cu 2+ is described in the specification of the present application.

[0061] Cu 2+ is an essential component for near-infrared cut-off. The content of Cu 2+ is preferably 1% to 20%. If the content of Cu 2+ is 1% or more, its effects and the effect of improving the light transmittance in the visible light region of the glass obtained when added simultaneously with Mo can be sufficiently obtained. Additionally, if the content of Cu 2+ is 20% or less, problems such as devitrification foreign substances generated in the glass or a decrease in the light transmittance in the visible light region are less likely to occur. The content of Cu 2+ is more preferably 2% or more, further preferably 2.5% or more, still further preferably 3% or more, and most preferably 3.5% or more. Additionally, it is more preferably 18% or less, further preferably 16% or less, still further preferably 13% or less, and most preferably 11.5% or less.

[0062] In addition, the total Cu amount is the total amount of Cu in mass% including monovalent, divalent, and other existing valences. When the glass of the present embodiment (where the content of F - is not included) is set to 100% by mass, in this glass, the content range of the total Cu amount is preferably 1% to 20% by mass. When the total Cu amount is 1% by mass or more, even when the plate thickness of the glass is reduced, the effect of near-infrared cut-off can be sufficiently obtained. Additionally, when the total Cu amount is 20% by mass or less, a decrease in the transmittance in the visible light region can be suppressed. It should be noted that the content of Cu + in mass% can be determined within the range of 0.01% to 4.0% for (Cu + / total Cu amount)×100[%.]

[0063] In the fluoro-phosphate glass of the present embodiment, Mo is contained in the form of Mo 5+ or Mo 6+ , but the present application specification describes all in the form of Mo6+ Content in the form of

[0064] Mo 6+ is an essential component for improving the light transmittance in the visible light region of the glass. The present inventors fabricated a fluoro-phosphate glass containing Cu and a fluoro-phosphate glass containing Cu and Mo, and confirmed their optical properties. As a result, the following phenomenon was confirmed: compared with the former glass, the transmittance of light with wavelengths from 400 nm to 540 nm increased significantly in the latter glass. As described above, although it is a hypothesis, it is considered that this phenomenon is based on the following reasons.

[0065] It is known that Mo exists in the glass in the form of Mo 6+ (hexavalent). However, when Mo and Cu are added simultaneously to the phosphate glass, Cu in the glass + releases electrons (e - ) and becomes Cu 2+ (Cu + →Cu 2+ +e - ), and Mo 6+ accepts the electrons released by Cu + and becomes Mo 5+ (pentavalent) (Mo 6+ +e - →Mo 5+ ). As a result, the proportion of the existence of Cu + (monovalent) having an absorption characteristic near wavelengths from 300 nm to 600 nm decreases, and the transmittance of light with wavelengths from 400 nm to 540 nm increases. It is considered that Mo 5+ has the characteristic of absorbing light with a wavelength of about 400 nm, and it is considered that the transmittance of light with a wavelength of about 400 nm does not increase for this reason.

[0066] Mo 6+ content is preferably 0.01% to 4%. If the content of Mo 6+ is 0.01% or more, the effect of improving the light transmittance in the visible light region of the glass can be obtained sufficiently. In addition, if the content of Mo 6+ is 4% or less, problems such as a decrease in near-infrared cut-off property or the generation of devitrified foreign substances in the glass are not likely to occur. The content of Mo 6+ is more preferably 0.05% or more, further preferably 0.1% or more, still further preferably 0.2% or more, most preferably 0.3% or more. In addition, it is more preferably 3.5% or less, further preferably 3% or less, still further preferably 2% or less, most preferably 1% or less.

[0067] Mo 6+ and the content ratio of Cu 2+ (Mo 6+ / Cu2+ )is 0.01 to 0.39 based on the mass basis. By Mo 6+ and Cu 2+ content ratio (Mo 6+ / Cu 2+ )is 0.01 or more, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the absorption of light with wavelengths in the visible light region caused by Cu + , and it is possible to sufficiently promote the absorption of light with wavelengths in the near-infrared light region caused by Cu 2+ . In addition, by Mo 6+ and Cu 2+ content ratio (Mo 6+ / Cu 2+ )is 0.39 or less, it is possible to suppress the decrease in transmittance in the visible light region caused by Mo 5+ . The content ratio of Mo 6+ and Cu 2 + (Mo 6+ / Cu 2+ )is more preferably 0.02 or more, further preferably 0.03 or more, still further preferably 0.05 or more, most preferably 0.1 or more. In addition, it is more preferably 0.35 or less, further preferably 0.3 or less, still further preferably 0.25 or less, most preferably 0.2 or less.

[0068] Al 3+ is a component for forming glass and is a component for improving the strength of glass, improving the weather resistance of glass, etc. When the glass contains Al 3+ , if the content of Al 3+ is 2% or more, its effects can be sufficiently obtained. If the content of Al 3+ is 20% or less, problems such as the glass becoming unstable or the near-infrared ray cut-off property decreasing are less likely to occur. The content of Al 3+ is preferably 0% to 20%. The content of Al 3+ is more preferably 2% or more, further preferably 3% or more, still further preferably 3.5% or more, most preferably 5% or more. In addition, it is more preferably 18% or less, further preferably 15% or less, still further preferably 13% or less, most preferably 10% or less.

[0069] It should be noted that as the raw material of Al 3+ , AlF 3 , Al 2 O 3 , Al(OH) 3 , etc. can be used. Among them, from the perspective of less likely to cause an increase in melting temperature, generation of unmelted matter, and F -Considering aspects such as the reduction in the input amount and the instability of the glass, it is preferable to use AlF 3 .

[0070] Li + is a component used to lower the melting temperature of the glass, lower the liquidus temperature of the glass, stabilize the glass, etc. Li + content is preferably 0% to 20%. If the Li + content is 20% or less, problems such as the glass becoming unstable or the near-infrared cut-off property decreasing are less likely to occur. The Li + content is more preferably 1% or more, further preferably 2% or more, still further preferably 4% or more, most preferably 5% or more. Additionally, it is more preferably 18% or less, further preferably 15% or less, still further preferably 12% or less, most preferably 10% or less.

[0071] In the fluoro-phosphate glass of this embodiment, Na can be contained in the form of Na + .

[0072] Na + is a component used to lower the melting temperature of the glass, lower the liquidus temperature of the glass, stabilize the glass, etc. Additionally, by the glass containing Na + , the effect of improving the light transmittance in the visible light region of the glass obtained when added simultaneously with Mo can be fully obtained. The mechanism is as follows. Around Cu + in the fluoro-phosphate glass, there are oxygen ions, and these oxygen ions carry negative charges. The electric field generated by the negative charges hinders the transfer of electrons (e - ) between the above-mentioned Cu + and Mo 6+ (Cu + →Cu 2+ +e - ) and (Mo 6+ +e - →Mo 5+ ). By the presence of Na + in the fluoro-phosphate glass, the positive charge carried by Na + neutralizes the negative charge of the oxygen ions. As a result, the transfer of electrons between the above-mentioned Cu + and Mo 5+ is promoted, and the proportion of the existence of Cu + with light absorption characteristics in the visible light region decreases, and the light transmittance in the visible light region increases.

[0073] When the glass contains Na + , the Na + content is preferably 0.1% to 25%. If the Na +If the content of Na is 25% or less, the glass is not likely to become unstable. + The content is more preferably 0.5% or more, further preferably 1% or more, still further preferably 2% or more, most preferably 3% or more. Additionally, it is more preferably 20% or less, further preferably 18% or less, still further preferably 14% or less, most preferably 10% or less.

By the content ratio of Mo 6+ and Na + (Mo 6+ / Na + ) within the above range, the effect of improving the light transmittance in the visible light region of the glass obtained when Mo 6+ and Na + are added simultaneously can be obtained more sufficiently. The content ratio of Mo 6+ and Na + (Mo 6+ / Na + ) is more preferably 0.03 or more on a mass basis, further preferably 0.05 or more, still further preferably 0.08 or more, most preferably 0.1 or more. Additionally, it is more preferably 5 or less, further preferably 3 or less, still further preferably 1.5 or less, most preferably 1 or less.

If the content of K + is 20% or less, the glass is not likely to become unstable, and thus it is preferred. The content of K + is more preferably 15% or less, further preferably 10% or less, still further preferably 5% or less, most preferably 3% or less.

[0076] R + (selected from one or more components of Li + , Na + and K + ) is a component for reducing the melting temperature of the glass, reducing the liquidus temperature of the glass, stabilizing the glass, etc. If the total content of R + , that is, the total content of Li + , Na + and K + (ΣR + ) is 0.1% or more, the effect can be obtained sufficiently. If R+ If the total amount is 30% or less, the glass is less likely to become unstable, so it is preferred. Therefore, ΣR + The content is preferably 0.1% to 30%.

When the average transmittance ratio A / B is 1.020 or more, the above effect can be obtained more sufficiently. When the average transmittance ratio A / B is 2.000 or less, the absorption of light in the ultraviolet light region is not easily extended to the visible light region, and the transmittance of light in the visible light region is not easily reduced.

After sufficient stirring and clarification, it is cast into a mold and cut and polished to form a flat plate with a specified plate thickness (forming step).

The adhesion-enhancing film can be a single layer or two or more layers. In the case of two or more layers, multiple substances can be combined.

[0103] <Near-infrared cut-off filter>

[0104] The near-infrared cut-off filter of the present embodiment includes the fluoro-phosphate glass of the present embodiment described above. Thus, a near-infrared cut-off filter can be obtained that can keep the transmittance of light in the visible light region (especially blue light) high while suppressing the transmittance of light in the near-infrared light region low.

[0109] The antireflection film 13 has the function of improving the transmittance by preventing the reflection of light incident on the near-infrared cut-off filter 10 and efficiently utilizing the incident light, and can be formed by conventionally known materials and methods. Specifically, the antireflection film 13 is composed of one or more layers of films such as silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, tantalum pentoxide, magnesium fluoride, zirconium oxide, and aluminum oxide formed by a sputtering method, a vacuum evaporation method, an ion beam method, an ion plating method, a CVD method, etc.; or is composed of silicate esters, silicone-based materials, fluorinated methacrylate-based materials, etc. formed by a sol-gel method, a coating method, etc. The thickness of the antireflection film 13 is usually in the range of 100 nm to 600 nm.

The second infrared light reflection film includes a dielectric multilayer film that reflects light in the infrared light wavelength region. In addition, a second antireflection film can be provided to replace the infrared light reflection film 12, or a second antireflection film can be provided on the infrared light reflection film 12.

By adopting such a structure, a near-infrared cut-off filter capable of suppressing the transmittance of light in the near-infrared light region to a lower level can be obtained.

[0112] When the near-infrared cut-off filter of the present embodiment has the above-mentioned infrared light reflection film and antireflection film, as Figure 2 shown, the near-infrared cut-off filter 100 can have the above-mentioned absorption layer 15 provided between the fluoro-phosphate glass 11 and the antireflection film 13. The absorption layer 15 can also be provided between the fluoro-phosphate glass 11 and the infrared light reflection film 12.

[0113] In the near-infrared cut-off filter of the present embodiment, it is preferable to add a near-infrared absorbing pigment to a transparent resin selected from acrylic resins, epoxy resins, ene-thiol resins, polycarbonate resins, polyether resins, polyarylate resins, polysulfone resins, polyethersulfone resins, polyphenylene resins, polyaryletherphosphine oxide resins, polyimide resins, polyamideimide resins, polyolefin resins, cyclic olefin resins, and polyester resins, and containing them singly or in a mixture of two or more kinds, and include it in the absorption layer.

The near-infrared cut-off filter of the present embodiment can be disposed, for example, between the above-described imaging lens and the solid-state imaging element, or directly adhered to the solid-state imaging element, imaging lens, etc. of the imaging device via an adhesive layer for use. By including a near-infrared cut-off filter having excellent visible light transmittance, specific near-infrared light shielding property, and not easily shifting spectral curves even at a high incident angle, an imaging device with excellent color reproducibility even for light at a high incident angle can be obtained.
