Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of reflective films, in particular to a depolarized partial reflective film. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, HUD head-up display systems have begun to be widely used in automobiles. Compared with the mainstream LCD instrument panels at this stage, they can indeed give drivers a safer and more interactive driving experience to a certain extent. C-HUD (Combiner Head-Up Display) combined head-up display, the optical imaging system of this type of HUD head-up display system is a resin lens, which is used to receive and reflect the picture from the image generation unit PGU. The resin lens needs to be plated with a partial reflective film (semi-transparent and semi-reflective film) through PVD to display driving information, so that the driver can see the driving information without blocking the driving line of sight. Due to the Fresnel effect of light, the reflectivity of light increases with the increase of the incident angle and a polarization effect will occur. In the range of incident angles of 30° to 60°, S polarized light is always higher than P polarized light and the difference increases with the increase of the incident angle, which will affect the driver and make it easy for the driver to see the driving information displayed on the C-HUD, affecting driving safety.
