Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to optical filters. [Background technology]
[0002] In order to reproduce color tones well and obtain clear images, imaging devices using solid-state imaging elements use optical filters that transmit light in the visible band (visible light) and block light in the near-infrared range (near-infrared light). As an optical filter, for example, a near-infrared light cut filter is known, which has a base material containing a dye and a resin and a dielectric multilayer film provided on a glass substrate.
[0003] From the viewpoint of suppressing flare and ghost phenomena, the dye used in the optical filter is preferably a near-infrared absorbing dye that has excellent light-blocking properties against near-infrared light. In recent years, there has been a demand for optical filters that selectively transmit light in multiple bands (for example, RGB bands (red band, green band, blue band)).
[0004] As an optical filter that selectively transmits light in multiple bands, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses an optical filter that includes a laminated film having 30 or more layers, each having at least a layer made of resin A (layer A) and a layer made of resin B (layer B), and that has an average reflectance of 60% or more in the near-infrared band having a wavelength of 850 to 1000 nm, and that satisfies the following formulas a and b:
[0005] T(630nm)-T(595nm)≧20% Formula a T(370nm)≦5% Formula b Where T(xnm): transmittance at wavelength xnm [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an example of an optical filter according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the spectral transmittance curve of the coating film of Test Example 4-2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this specification, the near-infrared absorbing dye may be abbreviated as "NIR dye" and the ultraviolet absorbing dye may be abbreviated as "UV dye". In this specification, a compound represented by formula (1) is also referred to as compound (1). The same applies to compounds represented by other formulas. Furthermore, a group represented by formula (1) is also referred to as group (1), and the same applies to groups represented by other formulas.
[0013] In this specification, the term "internal transmittance" refers to the transmittance obtained by subtracting the influence of interface reflection from the measured transmittance, as expressed by the formula {measured transmittance / (100-reflectance)}×100. In this specification, the transmittance of the substrate or resin layer is always the "internal transmittance" even when it is referred to as "transmittance." On the other hand, the transmittance measured by dissolving a dye in a solvent such as dichloromethane and the transmittance of an optical filter are actually measured transmittances.
[0014] In this specification, for example, a transmittance of 90% or more in a specific wavelength range means that the transmittance is not less than 90% across the entire wavelength range, i.e., the minimum transmittance is 90% or more across the wavelength range. Similarly, for example, a transmittance of 1% or less in a specific wavelength range means that the transmittance is not more than 1% across the entire wavelength range, i.e., the maximum transmittance is 1% or less across the wavelength range. The same applies to internal transmittance. The average transmittance and average internal transmittance in a specific wavelength range are the arithmetic means of the transmittance and internal transmittance per 1 nm in the wavelength range. In this specification, the use of "to" to indicate a range of values includes the upper and lower limits.

The material of the substrate is not particularly limited, and may be an organic or inorganic material as long as it is a transparent material that transmits visible light of 400 to 700 nm.
[0129] When the substrate has a single layer structure, the substrate is preferably a resin substrate containing dye A and a resin. The resin substrate may further contain a UV dye. When the substrate has a multilayer structure, the substrate preferably has a structure in which a resin layer containing dye A and a resin is laminated on at least one main surface of a support. In this case, the support is preferably made of the above-mentioned transparent resin or transparent inorganic material. The resin layer may further contain a UV dye.
[0130] As the transparent inorganic material, glass or crystalline material is preferred. Examples of glass include absorbing glass (near-infrared absorbing glass) containing copper ions in fluorophosphate glass or phosphate glass, soda-lime glass, borosilicate glass, alkali-free glass, and quartz glass.

[0133] As the support, inorganic materials are preferred, and glass and sapphire are particularly preferred, from the viewpoint of shape stability related to long-term reliability of optical properties, mechanical properties, etc., and ease of handling during filter production.
[0134] When the substrate is a resin substrate having a single layer structure containing a transparent resin and dye A, it can be produced, for example, by the following method.
[0135] The resin substrate can be produced by melt-extruding a transparent resin or a mixture of a transparent resin and optional components to form a film. Alternatively, the transparent resin and optional components, if necessary, are dissolved in a solvent to prepare a coating solution, which is then applied to a peelable substrate for producing the resin substrate in a desired thickness, dried, and further cured as necessary, and the resin substrate can then be peeled off from the substrate.
[0136] The solvent used in the coating solution may be any dispersion medium capable of stably dispersing or dissolving the transparent resin. The coating solution may contain a surfactant to prevent voids caused by minute bubbles, depressions caused by the adhesion of foreign matter, and repellency during the drying process. Furthermore, the coating solution can be applied by, for example, dip coating, cast coating, die coating, or spin coating.
[0137] When the substrate has a multilayer structure having a support and a resin layer containing dye A laminated on at least one main surface of the support, the thickness of the resin layer is preferably 0.3 to 15 μm. When the resin layer is made up of multiple layers, the total thickness of the resin layers is preferably 0.3 to 15 μm.
[0138] The resin layer can be formed by dissolving or dispersing dye A, resin or resin raw material components, and other components, if necessary, in a solvent to prepare a coating solution, applying the coating solution to a substrate, drying, and optionally curing the coating solution. The substrate may be the support included in the filter, or a peelable substrate used only when forming the resin layer. The solvent may be any dispersion medium or solvent capable of stably dispersing the dye.
[0139] The coating liquid may also contain a surfactant to prevent voids caused by microbubbles, depressions caused by the adhesion of foreign matter, and repellency during the drying process. The coating liquid can be applied by, for example, dip coating, cast coating, or spin coating. The coating liquid is applied to a substrate and then dried to form a resin layer. When the coating liquid contains raw materials for a transparent resin, it is further subjected to a curing treatment such as heat curing or photocuring.
[0140] The resin layer can also be produced in the form of a film by extrusion molding, and this film may be laminated on another member and integrated by thermocompression bonding, etc. For example, this film may be attached to a support.
[0141] The present filter may have one resin layer or two or more layers. When the present filter has two or more resin layers, the layers may have the same or different configurations.
[0142] The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited, and may be a block, plate, or film.
[0143] When the substrate has a single layer structure, the thickness of the substrate is preferably 500 μm or less, more preferably 400 μm or less, from the viewpoint of reducing the height of the present filter. When the substrate has a single layer structure, the thickness of the substrate is preferably 30 μm or more, more preferably 50 μm or more, from the viewpoint of handling in the process.
[0144] When the substrate has a multilayer structure, the thickness of the substrate is preferably 500 μm or less, more preferably 400 μm or less, from the viewpoint of reducing the height of the present filter. Also, when the substrate has a multilayer structure, the thickness of the substrate is preferably 30 μm or more, more preferably 50 μm or more, from the viewpoint of handling in the process.
[0145] <Dielectric multilayer film> The filter includes a dielectric multilayer film laminated as an outermost layer on at least one of the main surfaces of the substrate.
[0146] When a dielectric multilayer film is laminated as the outermost layer on both main surfaces of a substrate, at least one of the dielectric multilayer films is preferably designed as a near-infrared reflective layer (hereinafter also referred to as an NIR reflective layer), and the other of the dielectric multilayer films is preferably designed as an NIR reflective layer, a reflective layer having a reflection region other than the near-infrared region, or an antireflection layer.
[0147] When the substrate has a single layer structure, it is preferable to form an NIR reflective layer on both sides of the substrate in order to prevent warping.
[0148] The NIR reflective layer is a dielectric multilayer film designed to block light in the near-infrared region. The NIR reflective layer has wavelength selectivity, for example, to transmit visible light and mainly reflect light in the near-infrared region other than the light-blocking region of the absorption layer. The reflective region of the NIR reflective layer may include the light-blocking region in the near-infrared region of the absorption layer. The NIR reflective layer is not limited to NIR reflection characteristics, and may be appropriately designed to further block light in wavelength regions other than the near-infrared region, for example, the near-ultraviolet region.
[0149] The NIR reflective layer is composed of, for example, a dielectric multilayer film in which dielectric films with low refractive index (low refractive index film) and dielectric films with high refractive index (high refractive index film) are alternately laminated. The high refractive index film preferably has a refractive index of 1.6 or more, more preferably 2.2 to 2.5. Examples of materials for the high refractive index film include Ta2O5, TiO2, and Nb2O5. Of these, TiO2 is preferred in terms of film formability, reproducibility in refractive index, etc., and stability.
[0150] On the other hand, the low refractive index film preferably has a refractive index of less than 1.6, more preferably 1.45 or more and less than 1.55. Examples of materials for the low refractive index film include SiO2, SiO x N y In terms of reproducibility, stability, economy, etc. in film formation, SiO2 is preferred.
[0151] Furthermore, it is preferable that the transmittance of the NIR reflective layer changes sharply in the boundary wavelength region between the transmission region and the light-blocking region. For this purpose, the total number of laminated layers of the dielectric multilayer film constituting the reflective layer is preferably 15 or more, more preferably 25 or more, and even more preferably 30 or more. However, since a large total number of laminated layers can cause warping or an increase in film thickness, the total number of laminated layers is preferably 100 or less, more preferably 75 or less, and even more preferably 60 or less. Furthermore, the overall film thickness of the reflective layer is preferably 2 to 10 μm.
[0152] When the total number of layers and the film thickness of the dielectric multilayer film are within the above ranges, the NIR reflective layer satisfies the requirement for miniaturization, and the incidence angle dependency can be suppressed while maintaining high productivity. In addition, the dielectric multilayer film can be formed by, for example, a vacuum film formation process such as a CVD method, a sputtering method, or a vacuum deposition method, or a wet film formation process such as a spray method or a dipping method.
[0153] The NIR reflective layer may be a single layer (a group of dielectric multilayer films) that imparts predetermined optical characteristics, or two layers that impart predetermined optical characteristics. When the present filter has two or more NIR reflective layers, the reflective layers may have the same or different configurations. When the present filter has two or more NIR reflective layers, the filter is typically composed of multiple NIR reflective layers with different reflection bands. When two NIR reflective layers are provided, one may be a near-infrared reflective layer that blocks light in the short wavelength band of the near-infrared region, and the other may be a near-infrared / near-ultraviolet reflective layer that blocks light in both the long wavelength band of the near-infrared region and the near-ultraviolet region.
[0154] Examples of antireflection layers include dielectric multilayer films, intermediate refractive index media, and moth-eye structures in which the refractive index changes gradually. Among these, dielectric multilayer films are preferred from the viewpoints of optical efficiency and productivity. Antireflection layers are obtained by alternately laminating dielectric films, similar to reflective layers.
[0155] Furthermore, it is preferable that the dielectric multilayer film satisfies all of the following (vi-1) to (vi-7) in the spectral transmittance curve at an incident angle of 5° and the spectral transmittance curve at an incident angle of 30°. (vi-1) The average reflectance of light with a wavelength of 430 nm or more and less than 490 nm is 30% or less. (vi-2) The average reflectance of light with a wavelength of 490 nm or more and less than 590 nm is 30% or less. (vi-3) The average reflectance of light with a wavelength of 590 nm or more and less than 650 nm is 30% or less. (vi-4) The average transmittance of light with a wavelength of 430 nm or more and less than 490 nm is 70% or more. (vi-5) The average transmittance of light with a wavelength of 490 nm or more and less than 590 nm is 80% or more. (vi-6) The average transmittance of light with a wavelength of 590 nm or more and less than 650 nm is 80% or more. (vi-7) The average transmittance of light having a wavelength of 700 nm or more and less than 1000 nm is 20% or less.
[0156] When the dielectric multilayer film satisfies the above (vi-1) to (vi-7), it is possible to suppress intensity fluctuations in the spectral characteristics, known as ripples.
[0157] In (vi-1), The average reflectance is preferably 28% or less, more preferably 25% or less. In (vi-2), The average reflectance is preferably 15% or less, more preferably 10% or less. In (vi-3), The average reflectance is preferably 15% or less, more preferably 10% or less.
[0158] In (vi-4), The average transmittance is preferably 72% or more, and more preferably 74% or more. In (vi-5), The average transmittance is preferably 85% or more, more preferably 87% or more. In (vi-6), The average transmittance is preferably 85% or more, more preferably 87% or more.
[0159] In (vi-7), The average transmittance is preferably 18% or less, more preferably 15% or less.

[0161] The imaging device includes a solid-state imaging element, an imaging lens, and the present filter. The present filter can be used, for example, by being disposed between the imaging lens and the solid-state imaging element, or by being directly attached to the solid-state imaging element, imaging lens, etc. of the imaging device via an adhesive layer.
