Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to eyeglass lenses. [Background technology]
[0002] In eyeglass lenses, blocking light in the blue range (wavelengths between 380 and 500 nm) reduces glare and improves visibility and contrast. Furthermore, with regard to eye health, light in the blue range (380 to 500 nm) is said to be highly energetic and to cause damage to the retina and other organs. Damage caused by blue light is called "blue light hazard," with the lowest wavelengths, around 380 to 420 nm, being the most dangerous, and it is said that blocking light in this range is desirable.
[0003] Patent Document 1 describes an optical material that contains one or more ultraviolet absorbers (a) having a maximum absorption peak in the range of 350 nm to 370 nm, and that satisfies the following light transmittance characteristics (1) to (3) measured at a thickness of 2 mm: (1) the light transmittance at a wavelength of 410 nm is 10% or less, (2) the light transmittance at a wavelength of 420 nm is 70% or less, and (3) the light transmittance at a wavelength of 440 nm is 80% or more.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. WO2014 / 133111 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] Conventional eyeglass lenses, such as those disclosed in Patent Document 1, can suppress the transmittance of light with a wavelength of 410 nm by incorporating a specific ultraviolet absorber. However, ultraviolet absorbers generally exhibit light absorption characteristics at a wavelength of 410 nm and also absorb light with wavelengths close to that wavelength. Therefore, suppressing the transmittance of light with a wavelength of 410 nm using an ultraviolet absorber also absorbs light in the visible light range, resulting in coloring issues such as a yellowish tint of the eyeglass lenses. Yellow-tinted eyeglass lenses tend to appear deteriorated, so colorants are often added to give them a gray or slightly bluish color, which increases costs and, in some cases, reduces transmittance. Therefore, we focused on suppressing the coloring of eyeglass lenses caused by ultraviolet absorbers by increasing the transmittance of light with a wavelength of 430 nm.
[0006] One embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a spectacle lens that suppresses the transmittance of light with a wavelength of 410 nm and has excellent transmittance of light with a wavelength of 430 nm. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] One embodiment of the present disclosure is a compound of formula (1): [ka] (In the formula, R 1 is an alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R 3 is an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 1 to 2, and m is an integer of 0 to 2. [Effects of the Invention]
[0008] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a spectacle lens that suppresses the transmittance of light with a wavelength of 410 nm and has excellent transmittance at a wavelength of 430 nm. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a spectacle lens 1 of the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as necessary, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit thereof. In the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted. Furthermore, positional relationships such as up, down, left, and right are based on the positional relationships shown in the drawings unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, the dimensional ratios of the drawings are not limited to those shown. In this specification, for example, when a numerical range is expressed as "1 to 100," it is intended to include both the lower limit value "1" and the upper limit value "100." The same applies to other numerical ranges. For example, "a cured product of an isocyanate component and an active hydrogen compound component" does not mean excluding other components, but means a cured product of a composition containing at least an isocyanate component and an active hydrogen compound component.
[0011] [Eyeglass lenses] The eyeglass lens according to this embodiment has a structure represented by the formula (1): [ka] (In the formula, R1 is an alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R3 is an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and m is an integer of 0 to 2.) (hereinafter also referred to as "compound 1"). According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a spectacle lens that suppresses the transmittance of light with a wavelength of 410 nm and has excellent transmittance at a wavelength of 430 nm.
[0012] <Compound 1> The spectacle lens according to this embodiment contains compound 1 represented by formula (1), which suppresses the transmittance of light with a wavelength of 410 nm and has excellent transmittance at a wavelength of 430 nm. Light with a wavelength of 410 nm is in the visible light range, but has relatively high energy, and is therefore harmful to the eyes when viewed for a long period of time. Compound 1 contains -COR in the benzotriazole ring. 1 Because it has a - group, it can absorb light with a wavelength of 410 nm. Furthermore, since the inclusion of a compound that absorbs light in the visible light region makes it more likely to become discolored, it is desirable not to absorb light with wavelengths longer than 410 nm. However, when observing the absorption spectrum, the absorption peak of the compound also absorbs light at the peak wavelength and its surrounding wavelengths, resulting in a mountain-shaped spectrum. Therefore, if the absorption rate of light with a wavelength of 410 nm is increased, the surrounding light will also be absorbed, making it more likely to become discolored. This causes problems such as discoloration of eyeglass lenses, or the need to use a large amount of dye to make the hue neutral gray to make the discoloration less noticeable, which ultimately reduces the luminous transmittance. To address this issue, Compound 1 has a -COR group on the benzotriazole ring. 1 The presence of this group makes it possible to suppress absorption at a wavelength of 430 nm.
[0013] -COR 1 The substitution position of the group is preferably the 5-position of the benzotriazole ring from the viewpoint of suppressing the transmittance of light with a wavelength of 410 nm and suppressing the transmittance of light with a wavelength of 430 nm.
