Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a light-absorbing composition, a light-absorbing film, and an optical filter. [Background technology]

[0002] CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) In imaging devices using solid-state imaging elements such as the IR-1000 and IR-10000 series, various optical filters are arranged in front of the solid-state imaging element in order to obtain images with good color reproducibility. In general, solid-state imaging elements have spectral sensitivity in a wide wavelength range from the ultraviolet region to the infrared region. Meanwhile, human visual sensitivity exists only in the visible light region. For this reason, a technique is known in which an optical filter that blocks part of infrared or ultraviolet light is arranged in front of the solid-state imaging element in order to bring the spectral sensitivity of the solid-state imaging element in the imaging device closer to the human visual sensitivity.

[0003] Conventionally, such optical filters generally use light reflection by a dielectric multilayer film to block infrared or ultraviolet rays. Meanwhile, in recent years, optical filters with a film containing a light absorbent have been attracting attention. The transmittance characteristics of an optical filter with a film containing a light absorbent are not easily affected by the angle of incidence, so that even if light is obliquely incident on the optical filter in an imaging device, a good image with little change in color can be obtained. In addition, a light-absorbing optical filter that does not use a light-reflecting film can suppress the occurrence of ghosts and flares caused by multiple reflections by the light-reflecting film, so that good images can be easily obtained in backlit conditions or when photographing night scenes. In addition, an optical filter with a film containing a light absorbent is also advantageous in terms of miniaturizing and thinning an imaging device.

[0004] As such a light absorbing agent, a light absorbing agent formed by phosphonic acid and copper ions is known. For example, Patent Document 1 describes an optical filter having a light absorbing layer containing a light absorbing agent formed by phosphonic acid having a phenyl group or a halogenated phenyl group (phenyl-based phosphonic acid) and copper ions.

[0005] Patent Document 2 also describes an optical filter having a UV-IR absorbing layer capable of absorbing infrared and ultraviolet rays. The UV-IR absorbing layer contains a UV-IR absorbent formed of phosphonic acid and copper ions. In order for the optical filter to meet certain optical properties, the UV-IR absorbing composition contains, for example, a phenyl-based phosphonic acid and a phosphonic acid having an alkyl group or a halogenated alkyl group (alkyl-based phosphonic acid).

[0006] Furthermore, Patent Document 3 describes an infrared cut filter including an organic dye-containing layer that contains a specific organic dye, and a copper phosphonate-containing layer. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] In order to obtain a spectral characteristic closer to the transmission spectrum corresponding to the visual sensitivity of humans, the light absorbing film is required to sufficiently absorb and block light having a wavelength of about 400 nm. It is expected that the overspectrum will require improvement.

[0009] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a light-absorbing composition that is advantageous for blocking light with a wavelength of around 400 nm in order to obtain spectral characteristics close to the transmission spectrum corresponding to the visual sensitivity of humans.

[0034] The phosphonic acid contained in the phosphonic acid-containing compound is not limited to a specific phosphonic acid. The phosphonic acid is, for example, represented by the following formula (a).

[0036] In formula (a), R 1 is an alkyl group, at least one hydrogen atom in the alkyl group The halogenated alkyl group is substituted with a halogen atom, an aryl group, a nitroaryl group, a hydroxyaryl group, or an aryl group in which at least one hydrogen atom is substituted with a halogen atom. The aryl group is, for example, a phenyl group, a benzyl group, or a toluyl group.

[0037] The phosphonic acid contained in the phosphonic acid-containing compound may be an aryl-based phosphonic acid having an aryl group, a nitroaryl group, a hydroxyaryl group, or an aryl halide group.The aryl-based phosphonic acid is not limited to a specific phosphonic acid.The aryl-based phosphonic acid is, for example, phenylphosphonic acid, nitrophenylphosphonic acid, hydroxyphenylphosphonic acid, bromophenylphosphonic acid, or iodophenylphosphonic acid.

[0038] The phosphonic acid contained in the phosphonic acid-containing compound may be an alkyl phosphonic acid having an alkyl group or a halogenated alkyl group.The alkyl phosphonic acid is not limited to a specific phosphonic acid.The alkyl phosphonic acid is, for example, methyl phosphonic acid, ethyl phosphonic acid, normal (n-) propyl phosphonic acid, isopropyl phosphonic acid, normal (n-) butyl phosphonic acid, isobutyl phosphonic acid, sec butyl phosphonic acid, or tert butyl phosphonic acid, or bromomethyl phosphonic acid.

[0039] When the phosphonic acid contained in the phosphonic acid-containing compound is an aryl phosphonic acid, the phosphonic acid-containing compound is formed by the aryl phosphonic acid and the copper component, and the light having a relatively short wavelength in the wavelength range of light belonging to the infrared region is easily absorbed effectively. On the other hand, when the phosphonic acid contained in the phosphonic acid-containing compound is an alkyl phosphonic acid, the phosphonic acid-containing compound is formed by the alkyl phosphonic acid and the copper component, and the light having a relatively long wavelength in the wavelength range of light belonging to the infrared region is easily absorbed effectively. For this reason, The light absorbing composition desirably includes, as the phosphonic acid, both an aryl-based phosphonic acid and an alkyl-based phosphonic acid.

[0040] When the light-absorbing composition contains an aryl phosphonic acid and an alkyl phosphonic acid, the relationship between the content of the aryl phosphonic acid and the content of the alkyl phosphonic acid is not limited to a specific relationship. In the light-absorbing composition, the ratio R of the content of the aryl phosphonic acid to the content of the alkyl phosphonic acid is AA is, for example, 1.0 to 3.0 based on the amount of substance. This makes the transmission spectrum of the light-absorbing film and optical filter provided by using the light-absorbing composition more suitable for use with an imaging element. AA is preferably 1.3 to 2.7.

[0041] The phosphonic acid contained in the phosphonic acid-containing compound may be a phosphonic acid that does not have a group containing a halogen atom as a substituent. In this case, the light-absorbing film and the optical filter provided by using the light-absorbing composition tend to have good environmental resistance or are less likely to discolor.

[0042] In the light absorbing composition, at least a portion of the copper component reacts with phosphonic acid to form a compound such as a complex containing phosphonic acid and a copper component. The compound containing phosphonic acid and a copper component is likely to effectively absorb a portion of light in the infrared range and also exhibits high transmittance for light in the visible range.

In the preparation of the light absorbing composition, the copper component is supplied, for example, as a copper salt. The copper salt may be an anhydride or hydrate of copper chloride, copper formate, copper stearate, copper benzoate, copper pyrophosphate, copper naphthenate, and copper citrate. For example, copper acetate monohydrate is Cu(CH 3 COO) 2 H 2 O, with one mole of copper acetate monohydrate providing one mole of copper ion.

[0044] The ultraviolet absorbing compound contained in the light absorbing composition has a transmittance spectrum of 16≦T 550 / T 400 and 16≦T 550 / T 800 The ultraviolet absorbing compound is not limited to a specific compound as long as the above condition is satisfied. For example, the ultraviolet absorbing compound has an absorption maximum wavelength λ of 330 nm or more and 430 nm or less. M UV-C This allows the light-absorbing film and According to the optical filter, when used in combination with the compound containing the above phosphonic acid and copper component, the transmission characteristics at wavelengths of 400 nm to 450 nm tend to have spectral characteristics close to the transmission spectrum corresponding to human visual sensitivity. The optical characteristics such as the transmission spectrum and absorption spectrum of the ultraviolet absorbing compound can be determined by measurements using a dispersion liquid in which the ultraviolet absorbing compound is dispersed in a specific solvent as a sample. Unless otherwise specified, the transmission spectrum and absorption spectrum of the ultraviolet absorbing compound refer to those determined by such measurements.

[0045] The maximum absorption wavelength λ of the ultraviolet absorbing compound M UV-C is preferably 350 nm or more and 400 nm or less. m or less.

[0046] The maximum wavelength λ at which 50% transmittance is shown in the transmission spectrum of an ultraviolet absorbing compound in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 450 nm. 50%-L UV-Cand the minimum wavelength λ 50%-S UV-C is not limited to a specific value. 50%-L UV-C For example, the wavelength is 400 nm or more and 470 nm or less. According to the light absorbing film and the optical filter provided by using the light absorbing composition, when used in combination with the compound containing the above phosphonic acid and a copper component, the absorption maximum wavelength λ M UV-C In addition to the above effects obtained by satisfying the above condition, the transmittance at a wavelength of about 400 nm can be easily controlled to be small, and the transmittance of light in the visible light range can be more reliably increased. As a result, the light-absorbing film and optical filter provided using the light-absorbing composition are likely to have spectral characteristics close to the transmission spectrum corresponding to the visual sensitivity of humans. 50%-L UV-C and wavelength λ 50%-S UV-C Used in measuring the transmission spectra of UV-absorbing compounds to determine The concentration of the UV-absorbing compound in the sample is determined by the absorption maximum wavelength λ M UV-C The transmittance at It will be adjusted to 12%.

[0047] wavelength λ 50%-L UV-C is preferably 415 nm or more and 450 nm or less.

[0048] wavelength λ 50%-S UV-C and wavelength λ 50%-L UV-C For example, 75 nm≦λ 50%-L UV-C -λ 50%-S UV-C The wavelength λ of the light-absorbing compound containing the above-mentioned phosphonic acid and copper component at which the transmittance is 50% in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 450 nm is satisfied. 50%-S IR But, λ 50%-L UV-C and λ 50%-SUV-C It is easy to be included between phosphonic acid and copper components. When used in combination with a compound containing fluorine, the transmission characteristics in the wavelength range of 400 nm to 450 nm have the additional advantage of being close to the transmission spectrum corresponding to the visual sensitivity of humans. 50%-S UV-C and wavelength λ 50%-L UV-C is preferably 80 nm≦λ 50%-L UV-C -λ 50%-S UV-C Meets the condition of ≦100 nm.

[0049] In the transmission spectrum of a UV-absorbing compound, the absorption maximum wavelength λ M UV-C Longer and , 80% transmittance at wavelength λ 80% UV-C For example, 1.8[% / nm]≦30 / (λ 80% UV-C -λ 50%-L UV-C )≦2.6[% / nm]. 80% UV-C -λ 50%-L UV-C ) is the wavelength λ 50%-L UV-C and wavelength λ 80% UV-C UV absorbing compounds in the range between This represents the average slope of the transmission spectrum of the object, and this value is called Δλ 80 / 50 UV-C [% / nm] Also expressed as Δλ 80 / 50 UV-C By being within these ranges, the above-mentioned The consistency with the similar slope value in the transmission spectrum of a compound containing phosphonic acid and a copper component is improved, and when used in combination with a compound containing phosphonic acid and a copper component, the transmission characteristics in the wavelength range of 400 nm to 450 nm tend to have spectral characteristics close to the transmission spectrum corresponding to the human visual sensitivity.80 / 50 UV-C The condition of ≦2.4 [% / nm] is satisfied, and more preferably 1.9 [% / nm]≦Δλ 80 / 50 UV-C ≦2.3[% / nm].

[0050] The minimum transmittance T in the transmission spectrum of an ultraviolet absorbing compound in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 700 nm m 500-700 is not limited to a specific value. The minimum value T m 500-700 is, for example, 80% or more. This makes it easier to reliably increase the transmittance of light in the visible light range in a light-absorbing film and an optical filter provided using the light-absorbing composition. m 500-700 is preferably 85% or more, and more preferably 90% or more.

[0051] As described above, in the transmission spectrum of the light-absorbing film obtained by curing the light-absorbing composition, 16≦T 550 / T 400 and 16≦T 550 / T 800 As long as the above condition is satisfied, the ultraviolet absorbing compound is not limited to a specific compound. On the other hand, the ultraviolet absorbing compound is preferably a compound that is compatible with other components, such as a phosphonic acid-containing compound, contained in the light absorbing composition, and whose performance is not significantly reduced by other components. In addition, the ultraviolet absorbing compound is preferably a compound that does not have significantly poor moisture resistance or light resistance.

[0052] The ultraviolet absorbing compound is, for example, a benzophenone-based compound, a benzotriazole-based compound, a benzoate-based compound, a cyanoacrylate-based compound, or a triazine-based compound.

[0053] Examples of the benzotriazole-based compound include the following compounds. 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methylphenyl)benzotriazole 2-(2'-hydroxy-3'-t-butyl-5'-methylphenyl)-5-chlorobenzotriazole 2-(2'-hydroxy-3',5'-di-t-butylphenyl)-5-chlorobenzoate Triazole 2-(2'-hydroxy-3',5'-di-t-butylphenyl)benzotriazole 2-(2'-hydroxy-5-t-octylphenyl)benzotriazole 2-(2'-hydroxy-5-t-butylphenyl)benzotriazole 2-[2'-Hydroxy-3'-(3'',4'',5'',6''-tetrahydrophthalimidomethyl)-5'-methylphenyl]benzotriazole 2-(2'-hydroxy-3',5'-di-t-amylphenyl)benzotriazole 2-[2'-Hydroxy-3',5'-bis(α,α-dimethoxybenzoyl)phenyl]benzotriazole 2,2'-Methylenebis[4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-6-(2N-benzotriazol-2-yl)phenol] 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloyloxyethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole 2-(2'-hydroxy-3'-dodecyl-5'-methylphenyl)benzotriazole

[0055] The content of the ultraviolet absorbing compound in the light absorbing composition is not limited to a specific value. The ratio R of the content of the phosphonic acid to the content of the ultraviolet absorbing compound in the light absorbing composition PU is, for example, 10 to 300 on a mass basis. This makes it difficult for the ultraviolet absorbing compound to adversely affect the properties of the light absorbing composition, and makes it easier for the light absorbing film and optical filter provided using the light absorbing composition to more reliably absorb and shield light having a wavelength of about 400 nm. PU is preferably 30 to 100.

[0056] The ratio R of the content of the aryl phosphonic acid to the content of the ultraviolet absorbing compound in the light absorbing composition UR is not limited to a specific value. UR is, for example, 7 to 180 on a mass basis, and desirably 20 to 60. The ratio R of the content of the alkyl phosphonic acid to the content of the ultraviolet absorbing compound in the light absorbing composition UL is not limited to a specific value. UL is, for example, 3 to 120 on a mass basis, and desirably 10 to 40. This makes it easier for light-absorbing films and optical filters provided using the light-absorbing composition to have spectral characteristics close to a transmission spectrum corresponding to the visual sensitivity of humans more reliably.

[0057] The light absorbing composition further comprises, for example, a matrix. The ultraviolet absorbing compound is typically dispersed in a matrix. The matrix has a transmission spectrum of 16≦T 550 / T 400 and 16≦T 550 / T 800 As long as the above condition is satisfied, the matrix is ​​not limited to a specific material. The matrix contained in the light-absorbing composition is typically a material having high transmittance at wavelengths of 400 nm to 600 nm. For example, when a layer having a thickness of 0.1 mm is formed using only the material, the transmittance of the layer at wavelengths of 400 nm to 600 nm is, for example, 70% or more, preferably 75% or more, more preferably 80% or more, and even more preferably 85% or more.

[0058] The material of the matrix contained in the light absorbing composition is, for example, a resin. The type of resin contained in the light absorbing composition is not limited to a specific type. The resin is, for example, a cyclic polyolefin resin, an epoxy resin, a polyimide resin, a modified acrylic resin, a silicone resin, or a polyvinyl resin such as PVB. The resin may be a curable resin that can be cured by energy irradiation such as heat or light. The matrix contained in the light absorbing composition may be an organic-inorganic hybrid material or an inorganic material formed by hydrolyzing and condensing an alkoxide containing a metal component according to a sol-gel method.

[0059] The light absorbing composition may contain a phosphoric acid ester as necessary. The function of the phosphoric acid ester is to make it easier for the phosphonic acid-containing compound to be properly dispersed in the light absorbing composition and the light absorbing film by curing the light absorbing composition. The phosphoric acid ester may function as a dispersant for the phosphonic acid-containing compound, and a part of the phosphoric acid ester may react with a metal component to form a compound. For example, the phosphoric acid ester may be coordinated to a phosphonic acid-containing compound containing a copper component and a phosphonic acid, or may react with the compound. The phosphonic acid-containing compound may contain these compounds or their copper salt components.

[0060] The phosphoric acid ester is not limited to a specific phosphoric acid ester. The phosphoric acid ester has, for example, a polyoxyalkyl group. Examples of such phosphoric acid esters include Plysurf A208N: polyoxyethylene alkyl (C12, C13) ether phosphoric acid ester, Plysurf A208F: polyoxyethylene alkyl (C8) ether phosphoric acid ester, Plysurf A208B: polyoxyethylene lauryl ether phosphoric acid ester, Plysurf A219B: polyoxyethylene lauryl ether phosphate ester, Plysurf AL: polyoxyethylene styrenated phenyl ether phosphate ester, Plysurf A212C: polyoxyethylene tridecyl ether phosphate ester, or Plysurf A215C: polyoxyethylene tridecyl ether phosphate ester. All of these are products manufactured by Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd. In addition, examples of phosphoric acid esters include NIKKOL DDP-2: polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester, NIKKOL DDP-4: polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester, or NIKKOL DDP-6: polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester. All of these are products manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd.

[0061] The content of the phosphoric acid ester in the light-absorbing composition is not limited to a specific value. The ratio R of the content of the phosphonic acid to the content of the phosphoric acid ester in the light-absorbing composition PE is, for example, 1.0 or more on a mass basis. This makes it possible to suppress hydrolysis of the phosphate ester even when the light-absorbing film and the optical filter provided using the light-absorbing composition come into contact with water vapor, and the light-absorbing film and the optical filter tend to have good weather resistance. PE The ratio R is preferably 1.5 or more. PE The ratio R may be 1.0 to 3.0. PE By making the ratio R 3.0 or less, aggregation of the phosphonic acid-containing compound can be prevented, and the transmittance of light in the visible light region is more reliably increased in the light-absorbing film and optical filter provided by using the light-absorbing composition. PE is preferably 1.5 to 2.0.

[0062] The light-absorbing composition may further contain at least one selected from the group consisting of metal alkoxides, hydrolysis condensates of metal alkoxides, silicon alkoxides, and hydrolysis condensates of silicon alkoxides, as necessary. This makes it easier for the phosphonic acid-containing compound to be uniformly dispersed in the light-absorbing composition, or in the light-absorbing film and optical filter provided using the light-absorbing composition. In the light-absorbing composition, at least two selected from this group may be contained in a mixed state. For example, the phosphoric acid ester, metal alkoxide, or silicon alkoxide is mixed with a copper component and a component such as phosphonic acid in the preparation of the light-absorbing composition. In this case, a part of the metal alkoxide and silicon alkoxide may be contained in the fine particles containing the phosphonic acid-containing compound by interaction with the copper component or the component such as phosphonic acid or a compound containing these in the preparation of the light-absorbing composition.

[0063] The metal alkoxide that forms the metal alkoxide or the hydrolysis condensate of the metal alkoxide is, for example, an alkoxide of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ge, Sn, Pb, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Zn, Cd, Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pd, Pt, Co, Rh, Ir, Fe, Mn, Cr, Mo, W, V, Nb, Ta, Ti, and Zr.

[0064] The light-absorbing composition can be used to provide, for example, a light-absorbing film 10 as shown in Fig. 1. The light-absorbing film 10 can be obtained, for example, by curing a coating of the light-absorbing composition. Therefore, the light-absorbing film 10 contains a compound containing phosphonic acid and a copper component, and an ultraviolet absorbing compound.

[0065] The thickness of the light-absorbing film 10 is not limited to a specific value. For example, in order to reduce the thickness of the light-absorbing film while the light-absorbing film exhibits the desired light absorption, it is possible to increase the concentration of the phosphonic acid-containing compound and the ultraviolet absorbing compound contained in the light-absorbing composition. In this case, the dispersibility of each compound may not be maintained in a desired state. On the other hand, in order to meet the demand for a low profile of a device equipped with a light-absorbing film, such as an imaging device, it is advantageous for the thickness of the light-absorbing film to be small. From this viewpoint, the thickness of the light-absorbing film 10 is, for example, 25 μm to 500 μm, preferably 50 μm to 300 μm, and more preferably 75 μm to 250 μm.

[0066] 1, the optical filter 1a includes a light absorbing film 10. This allows the optical filter 1a to adequately absorb and block light with a wavelength of about 400 nm and to block light in the ultraviolet range. Furthermore, the optical filter 1a tends to have a high transmittance for light in the visible range.

[0067] The optical filter 1a is, for example, composed of a light absorbing film 10 alone. When the optical filter 1a is composed of a light absorbing film 10 alone, it may be called a light absorbing film or a light absorbing sheet in consideration of its form. The optical filter 1a may be used, for example, separately from an imaging element or an optical component. In this case, the optical filter 1a can be produced according to a known method related to optical filters. For example, a light absorbing composition is applied onto a substrate to form a coating film, and the coating film is cured to form the light absorbing film 10. Thereafter, the light absorbing film 10 is peeled off from the substrate to form a film or sheet. In this way, the film or sheet-like optical filter 1a can be produced. In this case, the material of the substrate may be glass, resin, or metal. The surface of the substrate may be subjected to a surface treatment such as coating using a fluorine-containing compound. The light absorbing film 10 can be produced by such a solution casting method. For example, an imaging device equipped with the optical filter 1a can be provided.

[0068] The optical filter 1a may be formed in contact with the imaging element and the optical component. On the other hand, the light absorbing film 10 may be formed by applying the above-mentioned light absorbing composition to the imaging element or the optical component and curing the light absorbing composition. In this way, an imaging element with a light absorbing film or an optical component with a light absorbing film can be produced. The optical component is, for example, a lens or a cover glass. For example, an imaging device including an imaging element with a light absorbing film or an optical component with a light absorbing film can be provided.

[0069] The optical filter 1a may be modified, for example, to the optical filter 1b shown in Fig. 2. The optical filter 1b is configured similarly to the optical filter 1a, except for the parts that will be particularly described. The components of the optical filter 1b that are the same as or correspond to the components of the optical filter 1a are given the same reference numerals, and detailed description will be omitted. The description of the optical filter 1a also applies to the optical filter 1b as long as there is no technical contradiction.

[0070] 2, the optical filter 1b includes a light-absorbing film 10 and a transparent dielectric substrate 20. The light-absorbing film 10 is formed parallel to one of the main surfaces of the transparent dielectric substrate 20. The light-absorbing film 10 may be in contact with one of the main surfaces of the transparent dielectric substrate 20, for example. In this case, the light-absorbing film 10 can be formed, for example, by applying the above-mentioned light-absorbing composition to one of the main surfaces of the transparent dielectric substrate 20 and curing the light-absorbing composition.

[0071] The type of the transparent dielectric substrate 20 is not limited to a specific type. The transparent dielectric substrate 20 may have an absorption ability in the infrared region. The transparent dielectric substrate 20 may have an average spectral transmittance of 90% or more at wavelengths of, for example, 350 nm to 900 nm. The material of the transparent dielectric substrate 20 is not limited to a specific material, but may be, for example, a specific glass or resin. When the material of the transparent dielectric substrate 20 is glass, the transparent dielectric substrate 20 may be, for example, transparent glass made of silicate glass such as soda-lime glass and borosilicate glass, or phosphate glass and fluorophosphate glass containing coloring components such as Cu and Co. Phosphate glass and fluorophosphate glass containing coloring components are, for example, infrared absorbing glass, and have light absorbing properties themselves. When the light absorbing film 10 is used together with the transparent dielectric substrate 20 of infrared absorbing glass, the light absorbing properties and transmission spectrum of both can be adjusted to produce an optical filter having desired optical properties, and the degree of freedom in designing the optical filter is high.

[0072] When the material of the transparent dielectric substrate 20 is a resin, the resin is, for example, a cycloolefin resin such as a norbornene resin, a polyarylate resin, an acrylic resin, a modified acrylic resin, a polyimide resin, a polyetherimide resin, a polysulfone resin, a polyethersulfone resin, a polycarbonate resin, or a silicone resin.

[0073] Each of the optical filters 1a and 1b may be modified to further include other functional films, such as an infrared reflecting film and an anti-reflection film. Such functional films may be formed on the light absorbing film 10 or the transparent dielectric substrate 20. For example, the optical filter may include an anti-reflection film to increase the transmittance in a predetermined wavelength range (for example, the visible light range). The anti-reflection film may be made of MgF 2 and SiO 2 The layer of such a low refractive index material and TiO may be used. 2 It may be configured as a laminate with a layer of a high refractive index material such as Such an anti-reflection film may be formed by a method involving a physical reaction, such as a vacuum deposition method or a sputtering method, or by a method involving a chemical reaction, such as a CVD method or a sol-gel method.

[0074] The optical filter may be configured, for example, with the light absorbing film 10 disposed between two sheets of glass. This improves the rigidity and mechanical strength of the optical filter. In addition, the main surface of the optical filter becomes hard, which is advantageous from the standpoint of preventing scratches, etc. In particular, when a relatively flexible resin is used as the binder or matrix in the light absorbing film 10, In fact, these advantages are important.

This fluorine treatment agent was poured onto a substrate of borosilicate glass (manufactured by SCHOTT, product name: D263 T eco) having dimensions of 76 mm x 76 mm x 0.21 m to be applied. Thereafter, the glass substrate was left at room temperature for 24 hours to dry the coating film of the fluorine treatment agent, and then the surface of the glass substrate was lightly wiped with a dust-free cloth containing Novec 7100 to remove excess fluorine treatment agent. In this way, a fluorine-treated substrate was prepared.
