Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a laminate, an optical filter, and an imaging device.

Background Art

[0002] An imaging device is a device manufactured in an integrated structure with an element group having a photoelectric conversion function and a storage function and a circuit having a scanning function for sequentially extracting signal charges stored in each element.

[0003] Basically, as shown in FIG. 1, the imaging device includes a lens 10 that receives external light, an optical filter 20, and an image sensor 30.

[0004] In the above structure, the optical filter 20 is used to obtain good color reproducibility and a sharp image. Usually, the optical filter 20 is formed to have a function of transmitting visible light and shielding infrared light such as ultraviolet light and / or near-infrared light. Such an optical filter 20 is required to show a transmittance curve that transmits visible light and blocks ultraviolet light and infrared light.

[0005] However, it is not easy to ensure an optical filter 20 that blocks ultraviolet light near the short-wavelength region of visible light and infrared light in the long-wavelength region of visible light and has a high transmittance for visible light.

[0006] As a known technique, an optical filter is known in which a dielectric multilayer film that reflects and / or blocks infrared light is laminated on both sides of an absorption substrate based on an absorption substrate in which a light absorption layer containing a near-infrared absorbing dye is laminated on a substrate.

[0007] Recently, with the trend of increasing pixel counts in imaging devices, image sensors have been made with higher pixel counts. As the pixel count of the image sensor increases, the sensitivity and reflectance in the near-infrared region increase, resulting in a gradually more prominent problem of petal-shaped red flares occurring in photos of subjects. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the flare phenomenon. Referring to Figure 2, the petal-shaped red band indicated by the white arrow is the flare phenomenon. Specifically, in the flare phenomenon, light in the near-infrared region incident from a light source is reflected on the surface of an image sensor with improved sensitivity due to higher pixel counts, and the reflected light is further reflected by the dielectric multilayer film of the optical filter in contact with the image sensor. The further reflected light contacts the surface of the image sensor and is reflected again, and such a phenomenon continuously occurs repeatedly.

[0008] Therefore, considering the recent trend, it is necessary to secure an absorption substrate and an optical filter that have excellent optical characteristics and can prevent the flare phenomenon.

[0037] As described above, the laminate according to an example of the present application may include a light absorption layer. The light absorption layer can exist in a form laminated on one or both sides of the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate. Specifically, the laminate according to an example of the present application may be formed in a structure of near-infrared absorbing glass substrate / light absorption layer or light absorption layer A / near-infrared absorbing glass substrate / light absorption layer B (where the light absorption layer A and the light absorption layer B are independent of each other). As described above, when the laminate according to an example of the present application includes light absorption layers on both outermost sides, one light absorption layer can be referred to as the light absorption layer A, and the other light absorption layer can be referred to as the light absorption layer B.

[0038] The light absorption layer of the laminate according to an example of the present application can be formed of a light absorption composition. Specifically, the light absorption layer can be formed by applying the light absorption composition to one or both sides of the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate described above and drying it. At this time, the coating method is not particularly limited, and a coating method generally used in the industry such as spin coating, die coating, roll coating, gravure coating, reverse coating, dip coating, or air knife coating can be used. The light absorption layer can be obtained by appropriately drying the applied light absorption composition. For example, a coating film can be coated on one side through spin coating and dried in a drying oven within a range of room temperature to 150°C, room temperature to 120°C, or room temperature to 40°C for about 5 to 300 minutes. The light absorption composition may contain a transparent resin, a near-infrared absorber, an ultraviolet absorber, etc. contained in the light absorption layer described below.

[0039] The light absorption layer of the laminate according to an example of the present application means a layer containing a near-infrared absorber and a transparent resin, and in some cases, a layer containing a near-infrared absorber, an ultraviolet absorber, and a transparent resin. Also, the light absorption layer is a layer in which the near-infrared absorber (and in some cases, an ultraviolet absorber is further included) is uniformly dispersed in the transparent resin, and may be cured. Further, the light absorption layer can be formed by applying a light absorption composition containing a transparent resin and a near-infrared absorber (and in some cases, an ultraviolet absorber is further included) to a substrate and then drying it.

[0040] The light absorption layer of the laminate according to an example of the present application may contain a near-infrared absorber. Further, the light absorption layer of the laminate according to an example of the present application can further contain an ultraviolet absorber. Here, the light absorption layer of the laminate according to another example of the present application may contain a near-infrared absorption layer containing a near-infrared absorber and an ultraviolet absorption layer containing an ultraviolet absorber.

[0041] The term "near-infrared absorber" used in the present application means an absorber having an absorption maximum wavelength in the near-infrared region. Further, the near-infrared absorber preferably has a high transmittance in the visible light region, and the transmittance may be about 80% or more, about 81% or more, about 82% or more, about 83% or more, about 84% or more, or about 85% or more.

[0042] The near-infrared absorber contained in the light absorption layer of the laminate according to an example of the present application is not particularly limited as long as it is used in the art and can be used. For example, it may contain one or more selected from the group consisting of squarylium compounds, cyanine compounds, phthalocyanine compounds, naphthalocyanine compounds, dithiol metal complex compounds, dimonium compounds, polymethine compounds, phthalide compounds, naphthoquinone compounds, and anthraquinone compounds.

[0043] The near-infrared absorber contained in the light absorption layer of the laminate according to an example of the present application may contain three or more selected from the group consisting of a first near-infrared absorber having an absorption maximum wavelength in the range of 700 nm or more and 720 nm or less, a second near-infrared absorber having an absorption maximum wavelength in the range of more than 720 nm and 740 nm or less, a third near-infrared absorber having an absorption maximum wavelength in the range of more than 740 nm and 760 nm or less, and a fourth near-infrared absorber having an absorption maximum wavelength in the range of more than 760 nm and 800 nm or less.

[0044] Conventional optical filters were designed with a dielectric multilayer film to reflect light in the wavelength range of approximately 700 to 750 nm. However, when using this type of filter, as described above, there was a problem of the occurrence of petal-shaped red flares. To improve such problems, the dielectric multilayer film of the optical filter was redesigned to transmit light having a wavelength range of approximately 700 to 750 nm. In this case, however, the optical filter generated a second peak having a transmittance of approximately 2% with respect to light having a wavelength around approximately 750 nm (in the wavelength range of approximately 730 to 780 nm), which caused problems in the image by absorbing light unnecessary for imaging.

[0045] The laminate according to an example of the present application includes a light absorption layer containing three or more selected from the group consisting of the first near-infrared absorber, the second near-infrared absorber, the third near-infrared absorber, and the fourth near-infrared absorber. By doing so, when a dielectric multilayer film is formed on the laminate to manufacture an optical filter, the problem of the occurrence of the above-described second peak can be prevented. That is, when the dielectric multilayer film is designed to transmit light having a wavelength range of approximately 700 to 750 nm and applied to the laminate according to an example of the present application to manufacture an optical filter, the problem of the occurrence of the second peak can be prevented. Through this, unnecessary light is blocked to prevent the flare phenomenon, the transmittance of visible light is high, and while efficiently and accurately blocking ultraviolet rays near the short-wavelength region of visible light and infrared rays in the long-wavelength region of visible light, a sharp visible light transmission band can be obtained, and an image in a form similar to that of the human eye can be obtained.

[0046] The term "absorption maximum wavelength of the absorber" used in the present application means the wavelength at which the transmittance of light is the lowest when light in the range of 250 to 1,300 nm is transmitted through the layer containing the absorber. Here, the layer containing the absorber means a layer in which the absorber is dispersed in a resin. Further, the resin means a resin having a transmittance of at least 90% or more in the visible light region when cured to form a layer, and when the transmittance in the visible light region is satisfied, such as an acrylic resin or a silicone resin, it can be used without particular limitation.

[0047] The first near-infrared absorber may contain one or more selected from the group consisting of squarylium compounds, cyanine compounds, and phthalocyanine compounds whose absorption maximum wavelength is in the range of 700 nm or more and 720 nm or less. Further, the first near-infrared absorber contained in the light absorption layer may have an OD (optical density) value with respect to the light having the absorption maximum wavelength in the range of 0.5 to 1.2. In another example, the OD value of the first near-infrared absorber may be 0.55 or more, 0.6 or more, 0.65 or more, 0.7 or more, 0.75 or more, 0.8 or more, 0.85 or more, 0.9 or more, or 0.95 or more, or 1.15 or less, 1.1 or less, 1.05 or less, or 1 or less.

[0048] In the present application, the term "OD (optical density) value" means a negative value of the value obtained by taking the common logarithm of the value of the light energy E1 after transmission with respect to the light energy E2 before transmission when the light having the absorption maximum wavelength of the absorber is transmitted through the layer containing the absorber. Specifically, the OD can be measured by the following [OD formula].

[0049] [OD formula] OD (optical density) value = -log 10 (E1 / E2)

[0050] The second near-infrared absorber may contain one or more selected from the group consisting of squarylium compounds, cyanine compounds, and phthalocyanine compounds whose absorption maximum wavelength is in the range of more than 720 nm and 740 nm or less. Further, the second near-infrared absorber contained in the light absorption layer may have an OD (optical density) value with respect to the light having the absorption maximum wavelength in the range of 0.2 to 0.6. In another example, the OD value of the second near-infrared absorber may be 0.25 or more, 0.3 or more, 0.35 or more, or 0.4 or more, or 0.55 or less, 0.5 or less, or 0.45 or less.

[0051] The third near-infrared absorber may include one or more selected from the group consisting of squarylium compounds, cyanine compounds, and phthalocyanine compounds having an absorption maximum wavelength in the range exceeding 740 nm and not exceeding 760 nm. Further, the third near-infrared absorber contained in the light absorption layer may have an OD (optical density) value in the range of 0.4 to 1 with respect to the light having the absorption maximum wavelength. In another example, the OD value of the third near-infrared absorber may be 0.45 or more, 0.5 or more, 0.55 or more, or 0.6 or more, or may be 0.95 or less, 0.9 or less, 0.85 or less, 0.8 or less, 0.75 or less, 0.7 or less, or 0.65 or less.

[0052] The fourth near-infrared absorber may include one or more selected from the group consisting of squarylium compounds, cyanine compounds, and phthalocyanine compounds having an absorption maximum wavelength in the range exceeding 760 nm and not exceeding 800 nm. Further, the fourth near-infrared absorber contained in the light absorption layer may have an OD (optical density) value in the range of 0.5 to 1.1 with respect to the light having the absorption maximum wavelength.

[0053] Depending on the type, number, and / or content of the near-infrared absorber contained in the light absorption layer, the OD values of the respective near-infrared absorbers may be different. The light absorption layer of the laminate according to an example of the present application includes a light absorption layer containing three or more selected from the group consisting of a first near-infrared absorber, a second near-infrared absorber, a third near-infrared absorber, and a fourth near-infrared absorber. By satisfying the OD values of the respective near-infrared absorbers within the ranges described above, unnecessary light is blocked, a flare phenomenon is prevented, the transmittance of visible light is high, infrared rays in the long wavelength region of visible light are efficiently and accurately blocked, a sharp visible light transmission band can be obtained, and an image in a form similar to that of the human eye can be obtained.

When the content ratio of the near-infrared absorber in the light absorption layer satisfies the above range, it is possible to efficiently and accurately block infrared light in the long wavelength region of visible light while obtaining a sharp visible light transmission band.

[0055] The total OD value of the near-infrared absorbers contained in the light absorption layer of the laminate according to an example of the present application may be in the range of 2 to 3. Here, the total OD value of the near-infrared absorbers contained in the light absorption layer may be 2.1 or more, 2.2 or more, 2.3 or more, 2.4 or more, 2.5 or more, 2.6 or more, or 2.7 or more, or 2.95 or less, 2.9 or less, 2.85 or less, 2.8 or less, or 2.75 or less. Further, as described above, the light absorption layer of the laminate according to an example of the present application contains three or more selected from the group consisting of a first near-infrared absorber, a second near-infrared absorber, a third near-infrared absorber, and a fourth near-infrared absorber. By satisfying the total OD value of the near-infrared absorbers contained in the light absorption layer within the above range, unnecessary light is blocked, the flare phenomenon is prevented, the transmittance of visible light is high, ultraviolet light near the short wavelength region of visible light and infrared light in the long wavelength region of visible light are efficiently and accurately blocked, a sharp visible light transmission band can be obtained, and an image in a form similar to the human eye can be obtained.

By the absorption maximum wavelength of the ultraviolet absorber satisfying the above range, it is possible to efficiently and accurately block ultraviolet rays in the vicinity of the short wavelength region of visible light and obtain a sharp visible light transmission band.

[0059] In addition, the OD (optical density) value of the ultraviolet absorber contained in the light absorption layer with respect to the light having the absorption maximum wavelength may be in the range of 0.8 to 1.5.

[0090] The optical filter according to an example of the present application may include a near-infrared absorbing glass substrate, a light absorbing layer, and a dielectric multilayer film. Here, since the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate and the light absorbing layer are the same as those described in the laminate according to an example of the present application described above, detailed content will be omitted.

[0091] Conventional optical filters were designed with a dielectric multilayer film to reflect light having a wavelength range of approximately 700 to 750 nm. However, when using this, as described above, there was a problem of the occurrence of petal-shaped red flares. In order to improve such a problem, the dielectric multilayer film of the optical filter was redesigned to transmit light having a wavelength range of approximately 700 to 750 nm. In this case, however, the optical filter generated a second peak having a transmittance of approximately 2% with respect to light having a wavelength around approximately 750 nm (in the wavelength range of approximately 730 to 780 nm), and by absorbing light unnecessary for imaging, it caused problems in the image.

[0092] An optical filter according to an example of the present application is designed such that a dielectric multilayer film transmits light in a related wavelength range so that no red flare occurs, and by forming the dielectric multilayer film on the laminate according to an example of the present application described above, a second peak that may be generated by the design of the dielectric multilayer film is also prevented, and an image in a form similar to that of a human eye can be obtained.

[0093] In an optical filter according to an example of the present application, a light absorption layer may be located on one or both sides of a near-infrared absorbing glass substrate. Further, dielectric multilayer films may be located on both outermost surfaces of the optical filter, respectively, one of which may be a first dielectric multilayer film and the other may be a second dielectric multilayer film. In particular, when a light absorption layer is located on one side of the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate of the optical filter, the dielectric multilayer film in contact with the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate may be the first dielectric multilayer film, and the dielectric multilayer film in contact with the light absorption layer may be the second dielectric multilayer film. Here, the first dielectric multilayer film is called a so-called IR (infrared) reflection layer, and the second dielectric multilayer film is called a so-called AR (Anti-reflection) layer.

[0094] The first dielectric multilayer film according to an example of the present application has a light wavelength λ with a reflectance of 50% with respect to light in the wavelength range of 600 to 850 nm R、cutoffmay also be in the range of 750 to 780 nm. By making the wavelength λ of the first dielectric multilayer film satisfy within the above range, near-infrared light that generates red flare can be transmitted. R、cutoff

[0095] Also, the first dielectric multilayer film has a reflectance of 50% with respect to light having an incident angle of n degrees (where n is 30 or 40) in the wavelength range of 600 to 850 nm, and the wavelength λ R、n / cutoff may be in the range of 700 to 760 nm. By making the wavelength λ of the first dielectric multilayer film satisfy within the above range, near-infrared light that generates red flare with respect to light having a changed incident angle can be transmitted. R、n / cutoff

[0096] Also, the average transmittance of the first dielectric multilayer film with respect to light in the wavelength range of 750 to 1,000 nm may be 10% or less, 9.5% or less, 9% or less, 8.5% or less, 8% or less, or 7.5% or less. The lower limit of the average transmittance with respect to light in the wavelength range of 750 to 1,000 nm corresponds to better physical properties the closer it is to 0%, and may be 0% or more, 0.01% or more, or 0.1% or more. Such characteristics of the first dielectric multilayer film can be said to be the characteristics of an IR (infrared) reflective layer. Also, the average transmittance of the first dielectric multilayer film with respect to light having an incident angle of n degrees (where n is 30 or 40) in the wavelength range of 750 to 1,000 nm may be 5% or less, 4.5% or less, 4% or less, 3.5% or less, 3% or less, or 2.5% or less. The lower limit of the average transmittance with respect to light having an incident angle of n degrees (where n is 30 or 40) in the wavelength range of 750 to 1,000 nm corresponds to better physical properties the closer it is to 0%, and may be 0% or more, 0.01% or more, or 0.1% or more.

[0097] In addition, the first dielectric multilayer film may have an average transmittance of 50% or more, 52% or more, 54% or more, 56% or more, 58% or more, 60% or more, 62% or more, or 64% or more with respect to light in the wavelength range of 700 to 750 nm. The closer the upper limit of the average transmittance with respect to light in the wavelength range of 700 to 750 nm is to 100%, the better the physical properties, and it may be 100% or less, 99% or less, or 98% or less. By making the average transmittance of the first dielectric multilayer film with respect to light in the wavelength range of 700 to 750 nm satisfy the above range, near-infrared light that generates red flare can be transmitted.

[0098] In addition, the first dielectric multilayer film may include a dielectric multilayer film in which a first dielectric layer having a refractive index in the range of 1.8 to 3.5 and a second dielectric layer having a refractive index in the range of 1.1 to 1.7 are alternately laminated. The refractive index of the first dielectric layer may be about 1.9 or more, 2 or more, 2.2 or more, 2.4 or more, 2.5 or more, or 2.55 or more, or 3.5 or less, 3.3 or less, 3.1 or less, 2.9 or less, or 2.7 or less. Also, the refractive index of the second dielectric layer may be about 1.1 or more, 1.2 or more, 1.3 or more, or 1.4 or more, or 1.7 or less, 1.65 or less, 1.6 or less, 1.55 or less, or 1.5 or less. Further, the ratio n1 / n2 of the refractive index n1 of the first dielectric layer to the refractive index n2 of the second dielectric layer may be about 1.4 or more, 1.45 or more, 1.5 or more, 1.55 or more, 1.6 or more, or 1.65 or more, or 1.7 or more, or 2 or less, 1.95 or less, 1.9 or less, 1.85 or less, 1.8 or less, 1.75 or less, or 1.7 or less.

[0099] In addition, in the first dielectric multilayer film, appropriate materials can be selected for the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer so as to satisfy the above ranges in consideration of the refractive indices of the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate and the light absorbing layer. TiO2, Ta2O5, Nb2O5, ZnS, or ZnSe can be applied as the first dielectric layer, and SiO2 or Na5Al3F can be used as the second dielectric layer. 14, fluorides such as Na3AlF6 or MgF2 can be applied, but there is no particular limitation as long as it is used in the art.

[0100] Further, when the first dielectric multilayer film is in contact with the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate, in the dielectric layer of the first dielectric multilayer film that contacts the substrate, Na5Al3F 14 , it may include a fluoride layer containing Na3AlF6 and / or MgF2, etc., and include a dielectric multilayer film in which the above-mentioned first dielectric layer and second dielectric layer are alternately laminated on the fluoride layer. By introducing the fluoride layer, the adhesion between the first dielectric multilayer film and the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate can be further improved, and the durability of the optical filter can be enhanced.

[0101] Also, in the first dielectric multilayer film, the thicknesses of the first and second dielectric layers can be adjusted according to the purpose, but each independently is 10 nm or more, 15 nm or more, 20 nm or more, 25 nm or more, 30 nm or more, 35 nm or more, 40 nm or more, 45 nm or more, 50 nm or more, 55 nm or more, 60 nm or more, 65 nm or more, 70 nm or more, 75 nm or more, 80 nm or more, or 200 nm or less, 190 nm or less, 180 nm or less, 170 nm or less, 160 nm or less, 150 nm or less, 140 nm or less, 130 nm or less, 120 nm or less, 110 nm or less, 100 nm or less, 90 nm or less, 80 nm or less, 70 nm or less, 60 nm or less, 50 nm or less, 40 nm or less, 30 nm or less, 20 nm or less, or 15 nm or less.

[0102] Also, in the first dielectric multilayer film, the dielectric multilayer film may have a number of layers within the range of 15 to 35 layers or 40 to 100 layers. Specifically, the dielectric multilayer film can be controlled such that the first and second dielectric layers are alternately laminated and the total number of all the layers of the first and second dielectric layers is 15 to 35 layers or 40 to 100 layers. When the first dielectric multilayer film is controlled within the above range, the above-described optical characteristics can be satisfied. In the first dielectric multilayer film, the dielectric multilayer film may be within the range of 18 to 25 layers, or in another example, within the range of 40 to 50 layers.

[0103] In an example of the present application, the second dielectric multilayer film may have an average transmittance of 90% or more, 91% or more, 92% or more, or 93% or more with respect to light in the wavelength range of 750 to 1,000 nm. The upper limit of the average transmittance with respect to light in the wavelength range of 750 to 1,000 nm corresponds to better physical properties the closer it is to 100%, and may be 100% or less, 99% or less, or 98% or less. Such characteristics of the second dielectric multilayer film can be said to be the characteristics of an AR (Anti-reflection) layer. Also, the second dielectric multilayer film may have an average transmittance of 90% or more, 91% or more, 92% or more, or 93% or more with respect to light having an incident angle of n degrees (where n is 30 or 40) in the wavelength range of 750 to 1,000 nm. The upper limit of the average transmittance with respect to light having an incident angle of n degrees (where n is 30 or 40) in the wavelength range of 750 to 1,000 nm corresponds to better physical properties the closer it is to 100%, and may be 100% or less, 99% or less, or 98% or less.

[0104] The second dielectric multilayer film according to an example of the present application may include a dielectric multilayer film in which a first dielectric layer having a refractive index in the range of 1.8 to 3.5 and a second dielectric layer having a refractive index in the range of 1.1 to 1.7 are alternately laminated. The refractive index of the first dielectric layer may be about 1.9 or more, 2 or more, 2.2 or more, 2.4 or more, 2.5 or more, or 2.55 or more, or 3.5 or less, 3.3 or less, 3.1 or less, 2.9 or less, or 2.7 or less. Also, the refractive index of the second dielectric layer may be about 1.1 or more, 1.2 or more, 1.3 or more, or 1.4 or more, or 1.7 or less, 1.65 or less, 1.6 or less, 1.55 or less, or 1.5 or less. Further, the ratio n1 / n2 of the refractive index n1 of the first dielectric layer to the refractive index n2 of the second dielectric layer may be about 1.4 or more, 1.45 or more, 1.5 or more, 1.55 or more, 1.6 or more, or 1.65 or more, or 1.7 or more, or 2 or less, 1.95 or less, 1.9 or less, 1.85 or less, 1.8 or less, 1.75 or less, or 1.7 or less.

[0105] Also, in the second dielectric multilayer film, appropriate materials can be selected for the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer so as to satisfy the above ranges in consideration of the refractive indices of the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate and the light absorbing layer. TiO2, Ta2O5, Nb2O5, ZnS, or ZnSe, etc. can be applied as the first dielectric layer, and fluorides such as SiO2 or Na5Al3F 14 , Na3AlF6, or MgF2 can be applied as the second dielectric layer, but it is not particularly limited as long as it is used in the art.

[0106] Also, in the second dielectric multilayer film, the thicknesses of the first and second dielectric layers can be adjusted according to the purpose, but each independently is 5 nm or more, 10 nm or more, 15 nm or more, 20 nm or more, 25 nm or more, 30 nm or more, 35 nm or more, 40 nm or more, 45 nm or more, 50 nm or more, 55 nm or more, 60 nm or more, 65 nm or more, 70 nm or more, 75 nm or more, or 80 nm or more, or may be 500 nm or less, 450 nm or less, 400 nm or less, 350 nm or less, 300 nm or less, 250 nm or less, 200 nm or less, 190 nm or less, 180 nm or less, 170 nm or less, 160 nm or less, 150 nm or less, 140 nm or less, 130 nm or less, 120 nm or less, 110 nm or less, 100 nm or less, 90 nm or less, 80 nm or less, 70 nm or less, 60 nm or less, 50 nm or less, 40 nm or less, 30 nm or less, 20 nm or less, or 15 nm or less.

[0107] Also, in the second dielectric multilayer film, the number of layers of the dielectric laminate film is not particularly limited and can be designed and applied as needed.

[0108] According to an example of the present application, the second dielectric multilayer film can ensure a high transmittance for visible light and obtain excellent color reproducibility by significantly reducing the reflectance in the visible light region. The average reflectance of the second dielectric multilayer film for light in the wavelength range of 450 to 750 nm may be 1% or less, 0.9% or less, 0.8% or less, 0.7% or less, 0.6% or less, 0.5% or less, or 0.4% or less. The lower limit of the average reflectance for light in the wavelength range of 450 to 750 nm corresponds to better physical properties, and it may be 0% or more, 0.01% or more, or 0.1% or more. Further, the average reflectance of the second dielectric multilayer film for light having an incident angle of n degrees (where n is 30 or 40) in the wavelength range of 450 to 750 nm may be 1% or less, 0.9% or less, 0.8% or less, 0.7% or less, 0.6% or less, 0.5% or less, 0.4% or less, 0.3% or less, or 0.2% or less. By reducing the average reflectance of the second dielectric multilayer film for light in the wavelength range of 450 to 750 nm, a high transmittance can be ensured for light with a changed incident angle, and excellent color reproducibility can be obtained.

[0109] As described above, in order to reduce the average reflectance of the second dielectric multilayer film for light in the wavelength range of 450 to 750 nm, the dielectric multilayer film may be 2 to 15 layers, 3 to 14 layers, 4 to 13 layers, 5 to 12 layers, 6 to 11 layers, or 7 to 10 layers.

[0110] In the first and second dielectric multilayer films of the optical filter according to an example of the present application, in addition to the first and second dielectric layers of the dielectric multilayer film described above, other dielectric layers may also be included. The ratio of the total number of the first and second dielectric layers to the total number of all layers of the dielectric multilayer film in the first and second dielectric multilayer films may be 80% or more, 85% or more, 90% or more, 95% or more, or it may be formed only by the first and second dielectric layers.

[0111] The method for forming the dielectric multilayer film of the optical filter according to an example of the present application is not particularly limited, and for example, a known vapor deposition method can be applied for formation.

[0112] An optical filter according to an example of the present application may have a maximum transmittance of 1% or less, 0.95% or less, 0.9% or less, or 0.85% or less for light in the wavelength range of 730 to 780 nm. By controlling the maximum transmittance of the optical filter for light in the wavelength range of 730 to 780 nm within the above range, a flare phenomenon can be prevented, and an image in a form similar to that of a human eye can be obtained.

[0113] Also, an optical filter according to an example of the present application may have an average transmittance of 0.5% or less, 0.48% or less, 0.46% or less, 0.44% or less, 0.42% or less, 0.4% or less, 0.38% or less, 0.36% or less, 0.34% or less, 0.32% or less, or 0.3% or less for light in the wavelength range of 730 to 780 nm. By controlling the average transmittance of the optical filter for light in the wavelength range of 730 to 780 nm within the above range, a flare phenomenon can be prevented, and an image in a form similar to that of a human eye can be obtained.

[0114] An optical filter according to an example of the present application can satisfy one or more, two or more, three or more, or all of the following conditions 1 to 4. When the optical filter satisfies one or more, two or more, three or more, or all of the following conditions 1 to 4, unnecessary light is blocked, a flare phenomenon is prevented, the transmittance of visible light is high, ultraviolet rays near the short wavelength region of visible light and infrared rays in the long wavelength region of visible light are efficiently and accurately blocked, a sharp visible light transmission band can be obtained, and an image in a form similar to that of a human eye can be obtained.

[0115] Condition 1: The average transmittance for light in the wavelength range of 430 to 565 nm may be 85% or more, and the minimum transmittance for light in the wavelength range of 430 to 565 nm may be 75% or more. Here, the average transmittance may be 86% or more, 87% or more, 88% or more, 89% or more, or 90% or more, and the upper limit is not particularly limited and may be 100% or less, 99.9% or less, or 99% or less. Also, the minimum transmittance may be 76% or more, 77% or more, or 77.5% or more, and the upper limit is not particularly limited and may be 100% or less, 99.9% or less, or 99% or less.

[0116] Condition 2: The average transmittance for light in the wavelength range of 700 to 725 nm may be 5% or less. Here, the average transmittance may be 4.5% or less, 4% or less, 3.5% or less, 3% or less, or 2.8% or less, and the lower limit is not particularly limited and may be 0% or more, 0.1% or more, or 0.5% or more.

[0117] Condition 3: The average transmittance for light in the wavelength range of 800 to 1,000 nm may be 3% or less. Here, the average transmittance may be 2.9% or less, 2.8% or less, 2.7% or less, or 2.6% or less, and the lower limit is not particularly limited and may be 0% or more, 0.01% or more, or 0.1% or more.

[0118] Condition 4: The wavelength λ F、cuton when the transmittance for light in the wavelength range of 350 to 450 nm is 50% is within the range of 390 to 420 nm. Here, when there are multiple wavelengths at which the transmittance for light having the wavelength range is 50%, the smallest of them is the wavelength λ F、cuton when the transmittance for light in the wavelength range of 350 to 450 nm is 50%. Also, the wavelength λ F、cutoffcan be within the range of 610 to 640 nm. Here, when there are multiple wavelengths at which the transmittance for light having the wavelength region is 50%, among them, when the largest wavelength has a transmittance of 50% for light in the wavelength region of 600 to 700 nm, the wavelength λ F、cutoff may be used.

[0119] The optical filter according to an example of the present application has λ according to the following general formula 2 d、cutoff where the absolute value of is 15 nm or less, 14.5 nm or less, 14 nm or less, 13.5 nm or less, 13 nm or less, 12.5 nm or less, 12 nm or less, 11.5 nm or less, 11 nm or less, 10.5 nm or less, 10 nm or less, 9.5 nm or less, 9 nm or less, 8.5 nm or less, 8 nm or less, 7.5 nm or less, 7 nm or less, 6.5 nm or less, 6 nm or less, 5.5 nm or less, 5 nm or less, 4.5 nm or less, 4 nm or less, 3.5 nm or less, or 3 nm or less. When the absolute value of λ according to the following general formula 2 for the optical filter satisfies the above range, excellent color reproducibility can be obtained even for light with a changed incident angle. d、cutoff

[0120] [General formula 2] λ d、cutoff =λ F、cutoff -λ F、n / cutoff

[0121] In general formula 2, λ F、cutoff is the wavelength when the transmittance is 50% for light having an incident angle of 0 degrees in the wavelength region of 600 to 700 nm, and λ F、n / cutoff is the wavelength when the transmittance is 50% for light having an incident angle of n degrees in the wavelength region of 600 to 700 nm, and the n is 30 or 40.

[0122] An optical filter according to an example of this application extracts RGB values from a photograph taken under the following shooting conditions using a Color picker tool. The absolute value of the difference between the R value at the point with the smallest R value and the R value at the point with the largest R value in the photograph may be within the range of 0 to 50, 0 to 45, 0 to 40, 0 to 35, or 0 to 30. On the other hand, when the absolute value of the difference in R values is outside the above range, it is considered that a flare phenomenon has occurred.

[0123] [Shooting conditions] Using a rear camera equipped with the optical filter, photograph a halogen LED light source with a color temperature of 3100K as the subject, set the distance between the rear camera and the light source to 50 cm, and proceed with photography in a darkroom.

[0124] The darkroom does not have to be completely black, but in the substantial sense of a darkroom. When extracting RGB values from a photograph taken under the above shooting conditions using a Color picker tool, each of the RGB values can independently satisfy the range of 0 to 50, 0 to 40, 0 to 30, 0 to 20, or 0 to 15.

[0125] On the other hand, the photograph may be taken within a range with a radius of 1 m or less centered on the light source.

[0126] Also, for the RGB values extracted from the photograph taken with the optical filter, the absolute value of the difference between the R value and the G value at the point with the largest R value is within the range of 0 to 50, 0 to 45, 0 to 40, 0 to 35, 0 to 30, 0 to 25, 0 to 20, 0 to 15, 0 to 10, or 0 to 5, and the absolute value of the difference between the R value and the B value may be within the range of 0 to 50, 0 to 45, 0 to 40, 0 to 35, 0 to 30, 0 to 25, 0 to 20, 0 to 15, 0 to 10, or 0 to 5. On the other hand, when the absolute value of the difference between the R value and the G value and the absolute value of the difference between the R value and the B value at the point with the largest R value are outside the above range, it is considered that a flare phenomenon has occurred.

[0127] When the relationship of RGB extracted from the photograph taken under the shooting conditions by the optical filter according to an example of the present application satisfies the above range, it can be seen that the flare phenomenon can be prevented.

[0128] The imaging device of the present application may include a laminate or an optical filter according to an example of the present application. Further, the imaging device may also include other known elements such as an image sensor, and known contents can be applied to the included configurations and forms without limitation.

[0147] Manufacture of Optical Filter (B) An optical filter (B) was manufactured by forming dielectric multilayer films on both outermost surfaces of the produced laminate (A). The dielectric multilayer film in contact with the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate of the laminate (A) is the first dielectric multilayer film, and the dielectric multilayer film in contact with the light absorption layer of the laminate (A) is the second dielectric multilayer film.

[0148] The first and second dielectric multilayer films were formed while depositing by an ion-beam assisted deposition method. The deposition was carried out at 5×10-5 Torr and 120°C, and the conditions were set to an IBS (ion beam sputtering) source voltage of 350 V and a current of 850 mA. By alternately forming a TiO2 layer, which is a high refractive index layer (refractive index for light having a wavelength of 520 nm is about 2.61), and a SiO2 layer, which is a low refractive index layer (refractive index for light having a wavelength of 520 nm is about 1.46), the first and second dielectric multilayer films were formed respectively.

[0149] For the first dielectric multilayer film, the first dielectric multilayer film according to Production Example 1 was produced in the stacking order as shown in Table 2 below, the first dielectric multilayer film according to Production Example 2 was produced in the stacking order as shown in Table 3 below, and the first dielectric multilayer film according to the Comparative Production Example was produced in the stacking order as shown in Table 4 below. In Tables 2 to 4 below, the layer with a stacking order of 1 is the layer in contact with the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate of the laminate (A).

[0155]

[0156] Referring to Table 5 above, for the first dielectric multilayer film according to the Comparative Example, since the values of λ R、cutoff and λ R、n / cutoff are not included within the specified range, near-infrared light that generates red flare is reflected, thereby generating red flare.

[0157] Further, the second dielectric multilayer film is a second dielectric multilayer film according to a production example, and is manufactured in the stacking order as shown in Table 6 below.

[0162] Example B1. A first dielectric multilayer film was formed on the laminate manufactured according to Example A1 according to Production Example 1, and a second dielectric multilayer film was formed according to the production example to manufacture an optical filter. The transmittance graph of the optical filter manufactured according to Example B1 is shown in FIG. 12.

[0163] Example B2. A first dielectric multilayer film was formed on the laminate manufactured according to Example A1 according to Production Example 2, and a second dielectric multilayer film was formed according to the production example to manufacture an optical filter. The transmittance graph of the optical filter manufactured according to Example B2 is shown in FIG. 13. Also, the photograph taken under the following shooting conditions is shown in FIG. 14.

[0164] [Shooting Conditions] Using a rear camera equipped with the optical filter, a halogen LED light source with a color temperature of 3100 K is used as the subject, and the distance between the rear camera and the light source is set to 50 cm, and photographing is carried out in a dark room.

[0165] The RGB values for the dark room were 11, 11, and 9, respectively. Also, in the photograph according to FIG. 14, the RGB values at the point where the R value was the smallest were 9, 11, and 8, respectively, and the RGB values at the point where the R value was the largest were 39, 40, and 42, respectively. Since the absolute value of the difference in the R values between the point where the R value was the largest and the point where the R value was the smallest was about 30, it can be seen that no flare phenomenon occurred. Also, since the absolute values of the difference between the R value and the G value and the difference between the R value and the B value at the point where the R value was the largest were about 1 and about 3, respectively, it can be seen that no flare phenomenon occurred. Referring to FIG. 14, it can be confirmed that the flare phenomenon was prevented.

[0166] On the other hand, the photograph was taken within a range of 1 m in radius centered on the light source.

[0167] Comparative Example B1. A first dielectric multilayer film was formed on the laminate produced according to Example A1 according to the comparative example, and a second dielectric multilayer film was formed according to the production example to produce an optical filter. The photograph taken under the following photographing conditions using the optical filter produced according to Comparative Example B1 is shown in FIG. 15.

[0168] [Photographing Conditions] Using a rear camera equipped with the optical filter, a halogen LED light source with a color temperature of 3100 K is used as the subject, and the distance between the rear camera and the light source is set to 50 cm, and photographing is carried out in a dark room.

[0169] The RGB values for the dark room were 11, 11, and 9, respectively. Also, in the photograph according to FIG. 15, the RGB values at the point where the R value was the smallest were 10, 12, and 9, respectively, and the RGB values at the point where the R value was the largest were 136, 43, and 28, respectively. Since the absolute value of the difference in the R value between the point where the R value was the largest and the point where the R value was the smallest exceeded 100, it can be seen that a flare phenomenon occurred. Also, since the absolute values of the difference between the R value and the G value and the difference between the R value and the B value at the point where the R value was the largest were approximately 93 and approximately 108, respectively, it can be seen that a flare phenomenon occurred. Referring to FIG. 15, it can be confirmed that a flare phenomenon occurred.

[0170] On the other hand, the photograph was taken within a range of 1 m in radius centered on the light source.

[0171] Comparative Example B2. A first dielectric multilayer film was formed on the laminate produced according to Comparative Example A1 according to Production Example 1, and a second dielectric multilayer film was formed according to the production example to produce an optical filter. The transmittance graph of the optical filter produced according to Comparative Example B2 is shown in FIG. 16.

[0172] Comparative Example B3. A first dielectric multilayer film was formed on the laminate produced by the comparative example A1, and a second dielectric multilayer film was formed according to the production example to manufacture an optical filter. The transmittance graph of the optical filter produced by the comparative example B3 is shown in FIG. 17.

[0173] The optical characteristics of the optical filters according to the examples B1 and B2 and the optical filters according to the comparative examples B2 and B3 are summarized in Tables 8 and 9 below, respectively. In Tables 8 and 9 below, λ means the wavelength of the incident light.

[0174] [Table 8]

[0175] [Table 9]

[0176] Referring to Table 8 above, in both Examples B1 and B2, the maximum transmittance with respect to light in the wavelength range of 730 to 780 nm did not exceed 1%, and the average transmittance with respect to light in the wavelength range of 730 to 780 nm also did not exceed 0.5%. On the other hand, referring to Table 9 above, in both Comparative Examples B2 and B3, the maximum transmittance with respect to light in the wavelength range of 730 to 780 nm exceeded 1%, and in Comparative Example B2, the average transmittance with respect to light in the wavelength range of 730 to 780 nm also exceeded 0.5%.

[0177] Therefore, it can be seen that Examples B1 and B2 can prevent the flare phenomenon and obtain an image in a form similar to that of a human eye, and it can be seen that problems occur in the images due to the second peak in Comparative Examples B2 and B3.
