Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of HUD, in particular to a HUD reflector with high reflectivity. Background Art

[0002] HUD is an advanced electronic device in cars and other vehicles. It helps drivers get key information more intuitively, such as vehicle speed, navigation instructions and phone numbers, thereby reducing the number of times drivers look down at the instrument. Such a design helps improve driving safety and reduce possible eye movement and distraction during driving.

[0003] In order to achieve efficient reflection in the visible light band, HUD reflectors are usually made by coating aluminum film on a plastic substrate. Most HUD reflectors on the market use this process to improve reflectivity. Aluminum film is widely used due to its excellent cost-effectiveness and stability.

[0004] The refractive index of aluminum film is affected by its microstructure and composition, resulting in a relatively low refractive index, and the average reflectivity at 0° incident angle in the visible light band of 400-700nm can only reach about 90%. If the reflectivity of the reflector is insufficient, the image projected on the reflector will appear dim and the contrast will be reduced, which may make it difficult for the driver to clearly read the display content.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the display effect and driving safety of the HUD reflector, it is necessary to increase its reflectivity. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a HUD reflector with high reflectivity, which can increase the number of reflections of light on the product surface, thereby improving the overall reflectivity in the visible light band.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-reflectivity HUD reflector, comprising a reflector body and a film structure arranged on the optical surface of the reflector body, the film structure being six film layers sequentially arranged on the reflector body, the six film layers comprising two layers of aluminum oxide film layers, two layers of silicon dioxide film layers, one layer of titanium pentoxide film layer and one layer of aluminum film layer.

[0008] Furthermore, the first layer of the six film layers is an aluminum oxide film layer, the second layer is an aluminum film layer, the third layer is an aluminum oxide film layer, the fourth layer is a silicon dioxide film layer, the fifth layer is a titanium pentoxide film layer, and the sixth layer is a silicon dioxide film layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the first layer is 29.9-30.1nm, the thickness of the second layer is 149.9-150.1nm, the thickness of the third layer is 29.9-30.1nm, the thickness of the fourth layer is 44.12-44.32nm, the thickness of the fifth layer is 46.79-46.99, and the thickness of the sixth layer is 29.9-30.1nm.

[0010] Furthermore, the refractive index of the titanium pentoxide film layer is 2.41-2.45, the refractive index of the silicon dioxide film layer is 1.43-1.47, the refractive index of the aluminum oxide film layer is 1.65-1.69, and the refractive index of the aluminum film layer is 0.47-1.55.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model: The utility model provides a high-reflectivity HUD reflector, which improves the reflectivity of the HUD reflector by optimizing the film system structure on the optical surface of the HUD reflector, thereby effectively enhancing the clarity of the displayed content. This improvement enables the driver to more easily read and identify information in the head-up display system, such as vehicle speed, navigation instructions, and telephone numbers; increasing the reflectivity not only improves the clarity of the displayed content, but also significantly reduces the driver's eye fatigue. The use of the head-up display system reduces the number of times the driver looks down at the instrument, but the high-reflectivity reflector can ensure that the displayed content is always bright and clear, thereby reducing the burden on the eyes and improving driving safety. The film system design structure is simple and practical, and it is easy to implement. At the same time, this means that during the implementation process, costs and time can be effectively controlled, and the reliability of the solution can be guaranteed.

It is deposited on the surface of the HUD plastic reflector by vacuum coating. High-refractive-index titanium pentoxide (TI3O5) and low-refractive-index silicon dioxide (SiO2) materials are used as dielectric film layers. Silicon dioxide has high transmittance, excellent adhesion, good wear resistance and chemical stability, which can further increase the number of reflections of light on the product surface, thereby improving the overall reflectivity in the visible light band. The aluminum film layer increases the transmittance of light, reduces mirror reflected light, makes the eyes see more clearly, and reduces mirror reflected light. A dense and uniform film layer is formed on the surface of the titanium pentoxide film layer, which can cooperate with the aluminum film layer and the silicon dioxide film layer to improve the hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and reflectivity of the reflector. The aluminum oxide film layer has good mechanical firmness and stable chemical properties, becoming a good bonding layer to ensure the adhesion of the metal film layer.

The aluminum oxide film layer of the third layer 4 can protect the aluminum film layer and prevent further oxidation of the aluminum film layer. The silicon dioxide film layer of the fourth layer 5 and the titanium pentoxide film layer of the fifth layer 6 can further increase the number of reflections of light on the surface of the product. The silicon dioxide film layer of the sixth layer 7 can form a protective layer with high hardness on the surface to prevent the reflector from being scratched.
