Description

Holographic recording medium, method for manufacturing same, and optical element including same

[0001] [Cross-reference with related application(s)]

[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0022507, filed February 16, 2024, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0022508, filed February 16, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0003] The present application relates to a holographic recording medium, a method for manufacturing the same, and an optical element including the same.

[0004] A holographic recording medium records information by changing the refractive index within the holographic recording layer through an exposure process, and reproduces the information by reading the difference in the recorded refractive index.

[0005] In this regard, the photopolymer composition can be used to manufacture a hologram. The photopolymer can easily store an optical interference pattern as a hologram by photopolymerization of a photoreactive monomer. Therefore, the photopolymer can be used in various fields, such as smart devices such as mobile devices, components of wearable displays, automotive products (e.g., head-up displays), holographic fingerprint recognition systems, holographic optical elements having the functions of optical lenses, mirrors, deflecting mirrors, filters, diffusion screens, diffractive elements, light guides, waveguides, projection screens, and / or masks, media for optical memory systems, optical diffusers, optical wavelength splitters, reflective and transmissive color filters, etc.

[0006] Specifically, a photopolymer composition for hologram production comprises a polymer matrix, a photoreactive monomer, and a photoinitiator system. Then, a photopolymer layer produced from this composition is irradiated with laser interference light to induce local photopolymerization of the monomer.

[0007] This local photopolymerization process creates a refractive index modulation, which in turn creates a diffraction grating. The refractive index modulation value (△n) is influenced by the thickness and diffraction efficiency (DE) of the photopolymer layer, and the angular selectivity broadens as the thickness decreases.

[0008] Recently, there has been an increasing demand for the development of materials that can maintain high diffraction efficiency and stable holograms, and various attempts are being made to manufacture holographic recording media that have a thin thickness but high diffraction efficiency and refractive index modulation value.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a holographic recording medium is provided.

[0010] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing the holographic recording medium is provided.

[0011] According to another embodiment of the present invention, an optical element including the holographic recording medium is provided.

[0012] Hereinafter, a holographic recording medium, a method for manufacturing the same, and an optical element including the same according to specific embodiments of the invention will be described.

[0013] As used herein, “hologram recording medium” means a medium or media capable of recording optical information in the entire visible light range and ultraviolet range (e.g., 300 to 1,200 nm) through an exposure process, unless specifically stated otherwise. Therefore, the hologram recording medium in this specification may mean a medium on which optical information is recorded, or may mean a pre-recording medium capable of recording optical information. The hologram in this specification may include any visual hologram, such as an in-line (Gabor) hologram, an off-axis hologram, a full-aperture pre-hologram, a white-light transmission hologram (“rainbow hologram”), a Denisyuk hologram, a biaxial reflection hologram, an edge-literature hologram, or a holographic stereogram.

[0014] In this specification, with respect to environmental conditions in which a holographic recording medium or a device including the same is placed, “high temperature” may mean a temperature of 60°C or higher. For example, the high temperature may mean a temperature of 65°C or higher, 70°C or higher, 75°C or higher, 80°C or higher, 85°C or higher, 90°C or higher, 95°C or higher, 100°C or higher, 105°C or higher, 110°C or higher, 115°C or higher, or 120°C or higher, and the upper limit thereof is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 200°C or lower, 150°C or lower, 140°C or lower, or 130°C or lower.

[0015] In this specification, when temperature affects the characteristics of a material, object or each component, unless temperature is specifically mentioned otherwise, the temperature conditions under which the characteristics are measured or described may mean room temperature (e.g., a temperature at which no special cooling or heating is performed, in the range of about 15 to 30°C).

[0016] In this specification, unless specifically stated otherwise, the measurement values ​​may be understood as measurement values ​​of a photopolymer layer included in a holographic recording medium.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the invention, a hologram recording medium is provided, which comprises a polymer matrix or a precursor thereof; and a photopolymer layer comprising a photoreactive monomer and a photoinitiator system or a photopolymer obtained therefrom, wherein the photoinitiator system comprises a photosensitive dye and a co-initiator, and the photosensitive dye comprises a photosensitive dye in a red region, a photosensitive dye in a green region, and a photosensitive dye in a blue region, and which satisfies the following formulae 1 and 2.

[0018] [Formula 1]

[0019] T avg ≥ 90%

[0020] In the above equation 1,

[0021] T avg is the average transmittance measured in the range of 400 to 700 nm for the photopolymer layer that was photobleached without recording optical information,

[0022] [Formula 2]

[0023] △E = ≤ 2.5

[0024] In the above equation 2,

[0025] △E is the color difference between a sample of the photopolymer layer bleached without recording optical information and white light having the same brightness as the photopolymer layer.

[0026] L S * , a S * and b S * is the transmittance spectrum of the above-mentioned photobleached sample in the 400 to 700 nm region, the color value in the Lab color coordinate system derived from the standard illuminant D65 and the viewing angle 10 °, and LR * , a R * and b R * is the color value of the Lab color coordinate system of the above white light.

[0027]

[0028] To reproduce holographic images with superior vividness, three-dimensionality, realism, and visibility, a holographic recording medium must exhibit high optical recording properties across all red, green, and blue regions, as well as high transparency. However, increasing the content of the photosensitive dye to improve optical recording properties often results in reduced transparency, while decreasing the content of the photosensitive dye to improve transparency often results in deteriorated optical recording properties.

[0029] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment is intended to solve this problem, and is capable of optical recording in the red, green, and blue regions, and exhibits high transparency to provide a holographic image with vividness, three-dimensionality, realism, and visibility.

[0030] Hereinafter, a holographic recording medium and a method for manufacturing the same according to one embodiment of the present invention, and an optical element including the holographic recording medium will be described in detail.

[0031] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment comprises a polymer matrix or a precursor thereof; and a photopolymer layer comprising a photoreactive monomer and a photoinitiator system or a photopolymer obtained therefrom.

[0032] The above photopolymer layer may be a photopolymer layer in a state before recording that can record optical information, or a photopolymer layer in a state in which optical information is recorded.

[0033] A photopolymer layer having optical information recorded thereon can be manufactured by irradiating the photopolymer layer with object light and reference light before recording. When the photopolymer layer is irradiated with object light and reference light before recording, the photoinitiator system remains in an inactive state in the destructive interference region due to the interference fields of the object light and reference light, so photopolymerization of the photoreactive monomer does not occur. Instead, photopolymerization of the photoreactive monomer occurs in the constructive interference region due to the activated photoinitiator system. As the photoreactive monomer is continuously consumed in the constructive interference region, a concentration difference occurs between the photoreactive monomers in the destructive interference region and the constructive interference region. As a result, the photoreactive monomers in the destructive interference region diffuse into the constructive interference region. Since the photoreactive monomers and the photopolymers formed therefrom have a high refractive index compared to the polymer matrix, a spatial refractive index change occurs in the photopolymer layer, and a grating is formed due to the spatial refractive index modulation that occurs in the photopolymer layer. These grating surfaces act as reflective surfaces that reflect incident light due to the difference in refractive index, and when light of the wavelength recorded in the direction of the reference light is incident after recording the hologram, the Bragg condition is satisfied, so that the light is diffracted in the direction of the original object light, allowing the holographic optical information to be reproduced.

[0034] Therefore, if the photopolymer layer is in a pre-recording state, the photopolymer layer may include a photoreactive monomer and a photoinitiator system in a randomly dispersed form within the polymer matrix or its precursor.

[0035] On the other hand, if optical information is recorded in the photopolymer layer, the photopolymer layer may include a photopolymer distributed so as to form a lattice with the polymer matrix.

[0036] The above photopolymer layer may be formed from a photopolymer composition comprising a polymer matrix or a precursor thereof, a photoreactive monomer, and a photoinitiator system.

[0037] The polymer matrix may be formed, for example, by crosslinking a siloxane polymer containing a silane functional group (Si-H) and an acrylic polyol. Specifically, the polymer matrix is ​​formed by crosslinking an acrylic polyol with a siloxane polymer containing a silane functional group. More specifically, the hydroxyl group of the acrylic polyol can form a crosslinking bond through a hydrosilylation reaction with the silane functional group of the siloxane polymer. The hydrosilylation reaction can proceed rapidly even at room temperature (for example, a temperature in the range of about 15 to 30°C in a heated or non-heated state) in the presence of a Pt-based catalyst. Therefore, the photopolymer layer can improve the manufacturing efficiency or productivity of a hologram recording medium by employing a polymer matrix that can be rapidly crosslinked even at room temperature as a support.

[0038] The polymer matrix described above can enhance the mobility of components (e.g., photoreactive monomers or plasticizers) included in the photopolymer layer due to the flexible main chain of the siloxane-based polymer. In addition, the siloxane bond, which has excellent heat and moisture resistance properties, can facilitate securing the reliability of the photopolymer layer on which optical information is recorded and the holographic recording medium including the same.

[0039] The polymer matrix may have a relatively low refractive index, and thus may serve to increase the refractive index modulation of a layer formed from the photopolymer composition. For example, the upper limit of the refractive index of the polymer matrix may be 1.53 or less, 1.52 or less, 1.51 or less, 1.50 or less, or 1.49 or less. And, the lower limit of the refractive index of the polymer matrix may be, for example, 1.40 or more, 1.41 or more, 1.42 or more, 1.43 or more, 1.44 or more, 1.45 or more, or 1.46 or more. In the present specification, "refractive index" may be a value measured with an Abbe refractometer at 25°C.

[0040] The photopolymer layer may include the above-described cross-linked polymer matrix or a precursor thereof. When the photopolymer layer includes a precursor of the polymer matrix, it may include a siloxane-based polymer, an acrylic polyol, and a Pt-based catalyst.

[0041] The above siloxane polymer may include, for example, a repeating unit represented by the following chemical formula 1 and a terminal group represented by the following chemical formula 2.

[0042] [Chemical Formula 1]

[0043]

[0044] In the above chemical formula 1,

[0045] Multiple R's 11 and R 12 are the same or different from each other, and each independently represents hydrogen, halogen, or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms,

[0046] k is an integer between 1 and 10,000,

[0047] [Chemical Formula 2]

[0048]

[0049] In the above chemical formula 2,

[0050] Multiple R's 13 Inland R 15 are the same or different from each other, and each independently represents hydrogen, halogen, or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms,

[0051] At least one repeating unit selected from among the repeating units represented by the above chemical formula 1 and R of one terminal group selected from among the terminal groups represented by the above chemical formula 2 11 Inland R 15 At least one of them is hydrogen.

[0052] In the above chemical formula 2, -(O)- means that when Si of the terminal group represented by the above chemical formula 2 is bonded to the repeating unit represented by the above chemical formula 1, it is bonded via oxygen (O) or directly without oxygen (O).

[0053] In this specification, “alkyl group” may be a straight-chain, branched-chain or cyclic alkyl group. By way of non-limiting example, the term “alkyl group” herein includes methyl, ethyl, propyl (e.g., n-propyl, isopropyl, etc.), butyl (e.g., n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, sec-butyl, cyclobutyl, etc.), pentyl (e.g., n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, tert-pentyl, 1,1-dimethyl-propyl, 1-ethyl-propyl, 1-methyl-butyl, cyclopentyl, etc.), hexyl (e.g., n-hexyl, 1-methylpentyl, 2-methylpentyl, 4-methylpentyl, 3,3-dimethylbutyl, 1-ethyl-butyl, 2-ethylbutyl, cyclopentylmethyl, cyclohexyl, etc.), heptyl (e.g., n-heptyl, 1-methylhexyl, 4-methylhexyl, 5-methylhexyl, cyclohexylmethyl, etc.), It can be octyl (e.g., n-octyl, tert-octyl, 1-methylheptyl, 2-ethylhexyl, 2-propylpentyl, etc.), nonyl (e.g., n-nonyl, 2,2-dimethylheptyl, etc.), etc.

[0054] For example, R of the above chemical formulas 1 and 2 11 Inland R 15 is methyl or hydrogen, and plural R 11 Inland R 15 At least two of them may be hydrogen. More specifically, the siloxane polymer is R of the chemical formula 1. 11 and R 12 are methyl and hydrogen, respectively, and R of the above chemical formula 2 13 Inland R 15 A compound in which each independently represents methyl or hydrogen (e.g., polymethylhydrosiloxane in which the terminal group is a trimethylsilyl group or a dimethylhydrosilyl group); some R of the above formula 1 11 and R 12 are methyl and hydrogen respectively, and the remaining R 11and R 12 All are methyl, and R of the above chemical formula 2 13 Inland R 15 A compound in which each independently represents methyl or hydrogen (e.g., poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methylhydrosiloxane) in which the terminal group is a trimethylsilyl group or a dimethylhydrosilyl group); or R of the above formula 1 11 and R 12 All are methyl, and R of the above chemical formula 2 13 Inland R 15 It may be a compound in which at least one of the terminal groups is hydrogen and the others are each independently methyl or hydrogen (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane in which one or both of the terminal groups are dimethylhydrosilyl groups).

[0055] The above siloxane compound may have, for example, a number average molecular weight (Mn) in the range of 200 to 4,000. Specifically, the lower limit of the number average molecular weight of the siloxane polymer may be, for example, 200 or more, 250 or more, 300 or more, or 350 or more, and the upper limit may be, for example, 3,500 or less, 3,000 or less, 2,500 or less, 2,000 or less, 1,500 or less, or 1,000 or less. When the number average molecular weight of the above siloxane polymer satisfies the above range, the siloxane polymer volatilizes during the crosslinking process with the acrylic polyol at room temperature or a higher temperature, thereby preventing problems such as a decrease in the degree of matrix crosslinking, or the siloxane polymer not being compatible with components of other photopolymer layers, resulting in phase separation with these components, thereby enabling the hologram recording medium of the above embodiment to exhibit excellent optical recording characteristics and excellent durability under high-temperature conditions.

[0056] The above number average molecular weight refers to the number average molecular weight (unit: g / mol) converted to polystyrene as measured by the GPC method. In the process of measuring the number average molecular weight converted to polystyrene as measured by the GPC method, a commonly known analysis device and a detector such as a refractive index detector and an analysis column can be used, and commonly applied temperature conditions, solvents, and flow rates can be applied. Specific examples of the above measurement conditions include a temperature of 25°C, a tetrahydrofuran solvent, and a flow rate of 1 mL / min.

[0057] The above acrylic polyol may refer to a polymer having one or more, specifically two or more, hydroxyl groups bonded to the main chain or side chain of an acrylate polymer. In the present specification, "acrylic" refers to at least one selected from acryloyl groups, methacryloyl groups, and derivatives thereof, or a repeating unit formed by polymerization thereof, unless specifically stated otherwise, and "acrylate" refers to at least one selected from acrylates and methacrylates, or a repeating unit formed by polymerization thereof, unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0058] The above acrylic polyol may be a homopolymer of an acrylate monomer having a hydroxyl group, a copolymer of two or more acrylate monomers having hydroxyl groups, or a copolymer of an acrylate monomer having a hydroxyl group and an acrylate monomer not having a hydroxyl group. In this specification, “copolymer” is a term encompassing all random copolymers, block copolymers, and graft copolymers, unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0059] As the acrylate monomer having the above hydroxyl group, examples thereof include hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate or hydroxyaryl (meth)acrylate, and the like, wherein the alkyl is an alkyl having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and the aryl may be an aryl having 6 to 30 carbon atoms. In addition, as the acrylate monomer not having the above hydroxyl group, examples thereof include alkyl (meth)acrylate or aryl (meth)acrylate, and the like, wherein the alkyl is an alkyl having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and the aryl may be an aryl having 6 to 30 carbon atoms. In the present specification, “(meth)acrylate” is a term referring to acrylate and / or methacrylate, unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0060] The above-mentioned acrylic polyol may have, for example, a weight average molecular weight (Mw) within the range of 150,000 to 1,000,000. The weight average molecular weight refers to a weight average molecular weight in terms of polystyrene measured by the GPC method described above. For example, the lower limit of the weight average molecular weight may be 150,000 or more, 200,000 or more, or 250,000 or more, and the upper limit may be, for example, 900,000 or less, 850,000 or less, 800,000 or less, 750,000 or less, 700,000 or less, 650,000 or less, 600,000 or less, 550,000 or less, 500,000 or less, or 450,000 or less. When the weight average molecular weight of the acrylic polyol satisfies the above range, the polymer matrix sufficiently functions as a support, so that even with the passage of time in use, the decrease in recording characteristics for optical information is small, and sufficient flexibility is provided to the polymer matrix to improve the mobility of components (e.g., photoreactive monomers or plasticizers) included in the photopolymer layer, thereby minimizing the decrease in recording characteristics for optical information.

[0061] In order to adjust the crosslinking density of the acrylic polyol by the siloxane polymer to a level advantageous for securing the function of the hologram recording medium, the hydroxyl equivalent of the acrylic polyol can be adjusted to an appropriate level.

[0062] Specifically, the hydroxyl group (-OH) equivalent of the acrylic polyol may be, for example, in the range of 500 to 3,000 g / equivalent. More specifically, the lower limit of the hydroxyl group (-OH) equivalent of the acrylic polyol may be 600 g / equivalent or more, 700 g / equivalent or more, 800 g / equivalent or more, 900 g / equivalent or more, 1000 g / equivalent or more, 1100 g / equivalent or more, 1200 g / equivalent or more, 1300 g / equivalent or more, 1400 g / equivalent or more, 1500 g / equivalent or more, 1600 g / equivalent or more, 1700 g / equivalent or more, or 1750 g / equivalent or more. And, the upper limit of the hydroxyl group (-OH) equivalent of the acrylic polyol may be 2900 g / equivalent or less, 2800 g / equivalent or less, 2700 g / equivalent or less, 2600 g / equivalent or less, 2500 g / equivalent or less, 2400 g / equivalent or less, 2300 g / equivalent or less, 2200 g / equivalent or less, 2100 g / equivalent or less, 2000 g / equivalent or less, or 1900 g / equivalent or less. The hydroxyl group (-OH) equivalent of the acrylic polyol is the equivalent (g / equivalent) for one hydroxyl functional group, and is a value obtained by dividing the weight average molecular weight of the acrylic polyol by the number of hydroxyl functional groups per molecule. The smaller the equivalent value, the higher the density of the functional group, and the larger the equivalent value, the smaller the density of the functional group.When the hydroxyl group (-OH) equivalent of the above acrylic polyol satisfies the above range, the polymer matrix has an appropriate crosslinking density to sufficiently perform its role as a support, and the fluidity of the components included in the photopolymer layer is improved, so that the initial refractive index modulation value is maintained at an excellent level even over time without the problem of the boundary of the diffraction gratings generated after recording collapsing, thereby minimizing the decrease in recording characteristics for optical information.

[0063] The acrylic polyol may have a glass transition temperature (Tg) in the range of, for example, -60 to -10°C. Specifically, the lower limit of the glass transition temperature may be, for example, -55°C or higher, -50°C or higher, -45°C or higher, -40°C or higher, -35°C or higher, -30°C or higher, or -25°C or higher, and the upper limit may be, for example, -15°C or lower, -20°C or lower, -25°C or lower, -30°C or lower, or -35°C or lower. When the glass transition temperature range is satisfied, the glass transition temperature may be lowered without significantly lowering the modulus of the polymer matrix, thereby increasing the mobility (fluidity) of other components within the photopolymer layer and improving the formability of the photopolymer composition. The above glass transition temperature can be measured using a known method, for example, a method such as DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) or DMA (dynamic mechanical analysis).

[0064] The refractive index of the acrylic polyol may be, for example, 1.40 or more and less than 1.50. Specifically, the lower limit of the refractive index of the acrylic polyol may be, for example, 1.41 or more, 1.42 or more, 1.43 or more, 1.44 or more, 1.45 or more, or 1.46 or more, and the upper limit may be, for example, 1.49 or less, 1.48 or less, 1.47 or less, 1.46 or less, or 1.45 or less. When the acrylic polyol has a refractive index in the above-described range, it may contribute to increasing refractive index modulation. The refractive index of the acrylic polyol is a theoretical refractive index and may be calculated using the refractive index of a monomer used in producing the acrylic polyol (a value measured using an Abbe refractometer at 25°C) and the fraction (mole ratio) of each monomer.

[0065] The above acrylic polyol and siloxane polymer may be used so that the molar ratio (SiH / OH) of the silane functional group (Si-H) of the siloxane polymer to the hydroxyl group (-OH) of the acrylic polyol is 0.80 to 3.5. That is, the type and content of the siloxane polymer and the acrylic polyol may be selected so as to satisfy the molar ratio when forming the polymer matrix. The lower limit of the molar ratio (SiH / OH) may be, for example, 0.81 or more, 0.85 or more, 0.90 or more, or 0.95 or more, and the upper limit may be, for example, 3.4 or less, 3.3 or less, 3.2 or less, 3.1 or less, 3.05 or less, or 3.0 or less. When the above molar ratio (SiH / OH) range is satisfied, the polymer matrix is ​​crosslinked at an appropriate crosslinking density, thereby improving reliability under high temperature conditions and implementing a sufficient refractive index modulation value.

[0066] The above Pt series catalyst may be, for example, Karstedt's catalyst. The polymer matrix precursor may additionally include, in addition to the Pt series catalyst, a non-metal series catalyst such as a Rhodium series, an Iridium series, a Rhenium series, a Molybdenum series, an Iron series, a Nickel series, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal series, a Lewis acid series, or a Carbene series, as needed.

[0067] Meanwhile, optical information can be recorded by irradiating the hologram recording medium of the above embodiment with object light and reference light. Due to the interference field of the object light and the reference light, photopolymerization of the photoreactive monomer does not occur in the destructive interference region, but photopolymerization of the photoreactive monomer occurs in the constructive interference region. As the photoreactive monomer is continuously consumed in the constructive interference region, a concentration difference occurs between the photoreactive monomer in the destructive interference region and the constructive interference region, and as a result, the photoreactive monomer in the destructive interference region diffuses into the constructive interference region. A diffraction grating is generated by the refractive index modulation generated in this way.

[0068] Accordingly, the photoreactive monomer may include a compound having a higher refractive index than the polymer matrix in order to implement the above-described refractive index modulation. However, it is not limited to all photoreactive monomers included in the photopolymer composition of the above embodiment having a higher refractive index than the polymer matrix, and at least some photoreactive monomers may have a higher refractive index than the polymer matrix in order to implement a high refractive index modulation value. For example, the photoreactive monomer may include a monomer having a refractive index of 1.50 or more, 1.51 or more, 1.52 or more, 1.53 or more, 1.54 or more, 1.55 or more, 1.56 or more, 1.57 or more, 1.58 or more, 1.59 or more, or 1.60 or more but 1.70 or less.

[0069] The photoreactive monomer may include at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of a monofunctional monomer having one photoreactive functional group and a polyfunctional monomer having two or more photoreactive functional groups. In this case, the photoreactive functional group may be, for example, a (meth)acryloyl group, a vinyl group, or a thiol group. More specifically, the photoreactive functional group may be a (meth)acryloyl group.

[0070] The above monofunctional monomers include, for example, benzyl (meth)acrylate (Miwon's M1182 refractive index 1.5140), benzyl 2-phenylacrylate, phenoxybenzyl (meth)acrylate (Miwon's M1122 refractive index 1.565), phenol (ethylene oxide) (meth)acrylate (phenol (EO) (meth)acrylate; Miwon's M140 refractive index 1.516), phenol (ethylene oxide) 2 (meth)acrylate (phenol (EO) 2 (meth)acrylate; Miwon's M142 refractive index 1.510), O-phenylphenol (ethylene oxide) (meth)acrylate (O-phenylphenol (EO) (meth)acrylate; Miwon's M1142 refractive index 1.577), and phenylthioethyl (meth)acrylate (Miwon's M1162 refractive index 1.560) and biphenylmethyl (meth)acrylate.

[0071] The above multifunctional monomer is, for example, bisphenol A (ethylene oxide). 2~10 Di(meth)acrylate (bisphenol A (EO) 2~10(meth)acrylate; Miwon's M240 refractive index 1.537, M241 refractive index 1.529, M244 refractive index 1.545, M245 refractive index 1.537, M249 refractive index 1.542, M2100 refractive index 1.516, M2101 refractive index 1.512), bisphenol A epoxy di(meth)acrylate (Miwon's PE210 refractive index 1.557, PE2120A refractive index 1.533, PE2120B refractive index 1.534, PE2020C refractive index 1.539, PE2120S refractive index 1.556), bisfluorene di(meth)acrylate (Miwon's HR6022 refractive index 1.600, HR6040 refractive index 1.600, HR6042 refractive index 1.600), modified bisphenol fluorene di(meth)acrylate (Miwon's HR6060 refractive index 1.584, HR6100 refractive index 1.562, HR6200 refractive index 1.530), tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate tri(meth)acrylate (Miwon's M370 refractive index 1.508), phenol novolac epoxy (meth)acrylate (Miwon's SC6300 refractive index 1.525), and cresol novolac epoxy (meth)acrylate (Miwon's SC6400 refractive index 1.522, SC6400C refractive index 1.522).

[0072] The photopolymer layer may contain a photoreactive monomer in an amount of 50 to 300 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the polymer matrix. For example, the lower limit of the content of the photoreactive monomer may be 50 parts by weight or more, 60 parts by weight or more, 70 parts by weight or more, 80 parts by weight or more, or 90 parts by weight or more, and the upper limit may be 300 parts by weight or less, 280 parts by weight or less, 250 parts by weight or less, 220 parts by weight or less, 200 parts by weight or less, 190 parts by weight or less, or 180 parts by weight or less. When the above range is satisfied, it is advantageous to secure excellent optical recording characteristics and durability in a high-temperature environment.

[0073] In this specification, the content of the polymer matrix means the sum of the contents (weight) of the acrylic polyol and the siloxane polymer forming the matrix.

[0162] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment may further include a plasticizer. When a plasticizer is included in the photopolymer layer, refractive index modulation can be more easily implemented when recording a hologram. More specifically, the plasticizer lowers the glass transition temperature of the polymer matrix, thereby improving the fluidity of the photoreactive monomer, and has low refractive index and non-reactivity characteristics, so that when the photoreactive monomer that has not been photopolymerized moves, it can be uniformly distributed within the polymer matrix and move in the opposite direction, thereby contributing to refractive index modulation. In addition, the plasticizer can also contribute to improving the formability of the photopolymer composition.

[0163] The above photopolymer layer may include a fluorine-based compound as such a plasticizer.

[0164] The above fluorine-based compound may have a low refractive index of 1.45 or less in order to perform the above-described plasticizer function.

Since the fluorine-based compound having a lower refractive index than the above-described photoreactive monomer is used, the refractive index of the polymer matrix can be further lowered, and the refractive index modulation with the photoreactive monomer can be further increased.

[0165] The fluorine-containing compound may include, for example, one or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of an ether group, an ester group, and an amide group, and two or more difluoromethylene groups.

As a non-limiting example, the terminal of the fluorine-containing compound including the (repeating) unit represented by the above chemical formulae 8 and 8-1 may be a 2-methoxyethoxymethyl group by using 2-methoxyethoxymethyl chloride as the end capping agent.

[0177] The above fluorinated compound may have a weight average molecular weight of 300 or more. Specifically, the lower limit of the weight average molecular weight of the fluorinated compound may be, for example, 350 or more, 400 or more, 450 or more, 500 or more, or 550 or more, and the upper limit may be, for example, 1000 or less, 900 or less, 800 or less, 700 or less, or 600 or less. Considering refractive index modulation, compatibility with other components, dissolution problems of the fluorinated compound, etc., it is preferable to satisfy the above weight average molecular weight range. In this case, the above weight average molecular weight means a weight average molecular weight converted to polystyrene measured by the GPC method as described above.

[0178] The photopolymer layer may contain 20 to 200 parts by weight of the fluorine-based compound based on 100 parts by weight of the polymer matrix. Specifically, the lower limit of the content of the fluorine-based compound may be, for example, 25 parts by weight or more, 30 parts by weight or more, 40 parts by weight or more, 50 parts by weight or more, 60 parts by weight or more, 70 parts by weight or more, or 80 parts by weight or more, and the upper limit may be, for example, 190 parts by weight or less, 180 parts by weight or less, 170 parts by weight or less, 160 parts by weight or less, or 150 parts by weight or less. When the above range is satisfied, the fluorine-based compound having a sufficiently low refractive index can exhibit a large refractive index modulation value after recording without problems such as poor compatibility with components included in the photopolymer layer, resulting in some of the fluorine-based compound being eluted to the surface of the photopolymer layer, or poor haze, thereby securing excellent optical recording characteristics.

[0179] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment may additionally include an additive such as a surfactant or an antifoaming agent.

[0180] Examples of the surfactant include silicone-based surfactants, fluorine-based surfactants, or mixtures thereof.

[0181] Examples of the silicone surfactants include BYK-077, BYK-085, BYK-300, BYK-301, BYK-302, BYK-306, BYK-307, BYK-310, BYK-320, BYK-322, BYK-323, BYK-325, BYK-330, BYK-331, BYK-333, BYK-335, BYK-341v344, BYK-345v346, BYK-348, BYK-354, BYK355, BYK-356, BYK-358, BYK-361, BYK-370, BYK-371, BYK-375 from BYK Chemie. BYK-380, BYK-390, BYK-3550, etc. can be used. The above fluorinated surfactants include F-114, F-177, F-410, F-411, F-450, F-493, F-494, F-443, F-444, F-445, F-446, F-470, F-471, F-472SF, F-474, F-475, F-477, F-478, F-479, F-480SF, F-482, F-483, F-484, F-486, F-487, F-172D, MCF-350SF, TF-1025SF, TF-1117SF, TF-1026SF, TF-1128, TF-1127, TF1129, manufactured by DIC (DaiNippon Ink & Chemicals). TF-1126, TF-1130, TF-1116SF, TF-1131, TF1132, TF1027SF, TF-1441, TF-1442, etc. can be used.

[0182] If the hologram recording medium of the above embodiment includes a surfactant, the surfactant may be included in an amount of 0.01 parts by weight or more, 0.02 parts by weight or more, 0.03 parts by weight or more, or 0.05 parts by weight or more, but 5 parts by weight or less, or 3 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the polymer matrix. When the above range is satisfied, excellent adhesiveness and releasability can be imparted to the photopolymer layer, thereby preserving excellent optical recording characteristics.

[0183] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment may include a silicone-based reactive additive as a defoaming agent. As the silicone-based reactive additive, a commercially available product such as Tego Rad 2500 may be used, for example. The content of the defoaming agent may be appropriately adjusted so as not to impede the function of the holographic recording medium.

[0184] The above photopolymer layer may be formed from a photopolymer composition containing a solvent.

[0185] The solvent may be an organic solvent, and for example, may be at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ketones, alcohols, acetates, and ethers, but is not limited thereto. Specific examples of such organic solvents include at least one selected from the group consisting of ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, acetylacetone, or isobutyl ketone; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, n-butanol, i-butanol, or t-butanol; acetates such as ethyl acetate, i-propyl acetate, or polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate; and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or propylene glycol monomethyl ether.

[0186] The organic solvent may be added at the time when each component included in the photopolymer composition is mixed, or may be included in the photopolymer composition while each component is added in a dispersed or mixed state in the organic solvent.

[0187] The photopolymer composition may include a solvent so that the solid concentration is 1 to 90 wt%. Specifically, the photopolymer composition may include a solvent so that the solid concentration is 20 wt% or more, or 30 wt% or more, and 85 wt% or less, 80 wt% or less, 75 wt% or less, or 70 wt% or less. Within this range, the photopolymer composition exhibits appropriate flowability and can form a coating film without defects such as stripes, and no defects occur during the drying and curing processes thereof, so that a photopolymer layer exhibiting desired physical properties and surface characteristics can be formed.

[0188] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment may further include a substrate on at least one surface of the photopolymer layer. The type of substrate is not particularly limited, and any substrate known in the relevant technical field may be used. For example, substrates such as glass, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), TAC (triacetyl cellulose), PC (polycarbonate), and COP (cycloolefin polymer) may be used.

[0189] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment has excellent refractive index modulation, diffraction efficiency and driving reliability despite having a thin photopolymer layer.

[0190] The thickness of the photopolymer layer may be, for example, in the range of 5.0 to 40.0 μm. Specifically, the lower limit of the thickness of the photopolymer layer may be, for example, 6 μm or more, 7 μm or more, 8 μm or more, or 9 μm or more. And, the upper limit of the thickness may be, for example, 35 μm or less, 30 μm or less, 29 μm or less, 28 μm or less, 27 μm or less, 26 μm or less, 25 μm or less, 24 μm or less, 23 μm or less, 22 μm or less, 21 μm or less, 20 μm or less, 19 μm or less, or 18 μm or less.

[0191] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can implement a refractive index modulation value (△n) of 0.020 or more, 0.025 or more, 0.026 or more, 0.027 or more, 0.028 or more, 0.029 or more, 0.030 or more, 0.031 or more, 0.032 or more, 0.033 or more, 0.034 or more, or 0.035 or more, even though the thickness of the photopolymer layer is as thin as 5 to 30 ㎛. The upper limit of the refractive index modulation value is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 0.060 or less.

[0192] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can record optical information in the red, green and blue regions while exhibiting very high transparency.

[0193] Specifically, the holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can satisfy the following equations 1 and 2.

[0194] [Formula 1]

[0195] T avg ≥ 90%

[0196] In the above equation 1,

[0197] T avg is the average transmittance measured in the range of 400 to 700 nm for the photopolymer layer that was photobleached without recording optical information.

[0198] [Formula 2]

[0199] △E = ≤ 2.5

[0200] In the above equation 2,

[0201] △E is the color difference between a sample of the photopolymer layer bleached without recording optical information and white light having the same brightness as the photopolymer layer.

[0202] L S * , a S * and b S *is the transmittance spectrum of the above-mentioned photobleached sample in the 400 to 700 nm region, the color value in the Lab color coordinate system derived from the standard illuminant D65 and the viewing angle 10 °, and L R * , a R * and b R * is the color value of the Lab color coordinate system of the above white light.

[0203] T of the above formula 1 avg is the average transmittance in the visible light range (400 to 700 nm) of the photopolymer layer bleached before recording. T in the above equation 1 avg T of more than 90% means that the photopolymer layer has a high transmittance in the visible light range, which means that the photopolymer layer is very transparent. T of the above equation 1 avg For example, it can be 90.0% or more, 90.1% or more, 90.2% or more, 90.3% or more, or 90.4% or more. T of the above formula 1 avg The upper limit is not particularly limited and may be 100% or less or 98% or less.

[0204] △E of the above equation 2 is the color difference in the visible light region (400 to 700 nm region) between the photopolymer layer bleached before recording and the reference sample. In △E of the above equation 2, the reference sample is a white light (L) having the same brightness as the photopolymer layer bleached before recording. R * = L S * , a R * and b R * = 0) is defined.

[0205] The low △E above means that the three primary lights of red, green, and blue uniformly pass through the holographic recording medium without being biased to any one side, so that the color of the image visible by passing through the holographic recording medium has little difference from the actual color (originally intended color). Therefore, the holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can provide a holographic image with vividness, three-dimensionality, realism, and visibility as the △E of the above formula 2 is 2.5 or less.

[0206] △E of the above formula 2 may be, for example, 2.50 or less, 2.40 or less, 2.30 or less, 2.20 or less, 2.10 or less, 2.00 or less, 1.95 or less, or 1.90 or less. The lower limit of △E of the above formula 2 is not particularly limited, and may be 0 or more or 0.5 or more.

[0207] The hologram recording medium of the above embodiment is not limited thereto, but may be one on which a reflective hologram or a transmissive hologram is recorded.

[0208] The hologram recording medium of the above embodiment may have a notch filter structure in relation to the diffraction grating structure. That the hologram recording medium of the above embodiment has a notch filter structure may mean, for example, that the diffraction grating is non-slanted (substantially 0°) with respect to the substrate plane, such as that the diffraction grating is parallel to the substrate plane. Such a hologram recording medium may have a structure in which two layers having different refractive indices (e.g., a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer) are alternately repeated. In addition, the two repeated layers may have predetermined thicknesses that are the same or different from each other. Such a non-slanted diffraction grating recording can be manufactured in a manner in which the incident angles of the object light and the reference light are the same with respect to the normal. In a non-slanted structure, the degree of deformation (e.g., shrinkage or expansion) under high temperature and high humidity conditions is clearly identified compared to a slanted structure, and it may be less affected by shrinkage and expansion of the substrate.

[0209] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can record optical information of all red (R), green (G), and blue (B) regions (hereinafter, RGB regions). When optical information of the RGB region is all recorded, a full-color holographic image can be reproduced. The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can reproduce vivid and realistic full-color holographic images because it exhibits high diffraction efficiency in all RGB regions.

[0210] Specifically, when a notch filter hologram is recorded by irradiating the photopolymer layer with light in the red, green, and blue regions, the sum of the diffraction efficiencies in the RGB regions may be 150% or more. The diffraction efficiency may be a value obtained through Equation 8 described in the test example described below for a hologram recording medium in which a notch filter hologram is recorded on a photopolymer layer having a thickness of 5 to 30 μm.

[0211] The diffraction efficiency of the above red (R) region, green (G) region, and blue (B) region refers to the diffraction efficiency at the corresponding recording wavelengths, which are the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) regions, respectively. The sum of the diffraction efficiencies of the RGB regions is obtained by calculating the diffraction efficiency (unit: %) of each RGB region, and then adding up the diffraction efficiencies of the three regions, and the unit is expressed as %. The sum of the diffraction efficiencies of the RGB regions theoretically has a numerical range of 0% to 300%.

[0212] In the holographic recording medium according to the above embodiment, the sum of the diffraction efficiencies of the RGB regions may be, for example, 150% or more, 160% or more, 170% or more, 180% or more, or 190% or more, and the upper limit thereof is not particularly limited, but may be 300% or less or 250% or less.

[0213] However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and optical information can be recorded by irradiating light from one or two regions selected from among the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) regions depending on the purpose of the holographic recording medium. As a non-limiting example, the holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can be utilized for reproducing holographic images such as letters, etc., since it has high visibility. In this case, optical information can be recorded by irradiating light from only one region selected from among the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) regions.

[0214] For example, when a notch filter hologram is recorded by irradiating the photopolymer layer with light in the red (R), green (G), or blue (B) region alone, the diffraction efficiency in the red (R), green (G), or blue (B) region may be 80% or more.

[0215] In this specification, the case where optical information is recorded by irradiating light solely from one region selected from the red (R), green (G), or blue (B) region is referred to as “single recording,” and the diffraction efficiency measured in this case is referred to as “diffraction efficiency during single recording.” The diffraction efficiency during single recording may be a value obtained through Equation 8 described in the test example described below for a hologram recording medium in which a notch filter hologram is recorded on a photopolymer layer having a thickness of 5 to 30 μm.

[0216] The lower limit of the diffraction efficiency in the above-mentioned single recording may be, for example, 80% or more, 85% or more, 86% or more, 87% or more, 88% or more, 89% or more, or 90% or more, and the upper limit is not particularly limited, but may be 100% or less or 99% or less.

[0217] For example, in the case where the holographic recording medium of the above embodiment records optical information solely by irradiating light in the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) regions on three holographic recording media before recording, the diffraction efficiency of each region can all satisfy the above range.

[0218] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment satisfies the above equations 1 and 2, and exhibits excellent diffraction efficiency in both RGB regions, so that even if a holographic image is reproduced in a space beyond the holographic recording medium, the holographic recording medium is not visible, so that a holographic image can be reproduced vividly and realistically in the air, and can exhibit very excellent visibility.

[0219] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can record optical information in the red, green, and blue regions while exhibiting very high high-temperature stability. Specifically, the holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can exhibit excellent high-temperature stability even after recording. More specifically, the holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can satisfy the following Equation 3.

[0220] [Formula 3]

[0221] △T 400 = T 400 a - T 400 b ≤ 10 %p

[0222] In the above equation 3,

[0223] T 400 a is the initial transmittance measured at 400 nm for the photopolymer layer that has been photobleached while recording optical information,

[0224] T 400 b is the transmittance measured at 400 nm after exposing the photopolymer layer whose initial transmittance was measured at 120°C for 500 hours.

[0225] △T of the above equation 3 400 is an indicator that can be used to check the high temperature stability of the photopolymer layer, and is the difference (variation) in transmittance before and after high temperature exposure.

[0226] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can exhibit excellent high-temperature stability even when recording optical information by irradiating light of one or two regions selected from the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) regions, or even when recording all optical information of the RGB region.

[0227] △T of the above equation 3 400 This 10%p or less means that the photopolymer layer has excellent thermal stability and the change in transmittance before and after high temperature exposure is not large.

[0228] △T of the above equation 3 400 For example, it may be 10.0 %p or less, 9.5 %p or less, 9.0 %p or less, 8.5 %p or less, 8.3 %p or less, 8.0 %p or less, 7.8 %p or less, or 7.5 %p or less. △T of the above formula 3 400 The lower limit is not particularly limited and may be 0 %p or more or 0.5 %p or more.

[0229] The holographic recording medium of the above embodiment can exhibit high reliability by maintaining excellent optical recording characteristics even when exposed to high temperatures for a long time.

[0230] For example, the holographic recording medium of the above embodiment may have a diffraction efficiency retention rate of 80% or more calculated by Equation 4 below.

[0231] [Formula 4]

[0232] Diffraction efficiency retention rate (%) = 100 X DE b / DE a

[0233] In the above equation 4,

[0234] DE a is the diffraction efficiency in the corresponding recording wavelength range measured by recording a notch filter hologram by irradiating light in one or more areas selected from the red, green, and blue areas on the hologram recording medium, or the sum of these values.

[0235] DE b is the diffraction efficiency in the corresponding recording wavelength range measured after leaving the above-mentioned holographic recording medium at 120°C for 500 hours, or the sum of these values.

[0236] When measuring the above diffraction efficiency retention rate, if optical information is recorded by irradiating light from one of the red (R), green (G) and blue (B) regions on a holographic recording medium, the diffraction efficiency in the corresponding recording wavelength region is DE a and DEb If optical information is recorded by irradiating two or more regions of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light on a hologram recording medium, the sum of the diffraction efficiencies in the corresponding recording wavelength region is DE a and DE b is substituted. For a detailed method of measuring the above diffraction efficiency maintenance rate, refer to the method described in the test example described below.

[0237] The above diffraction efficiency retention rate may be, for example, 80% or more, 85% or more, 88% or more, 90% or more, 91% or more, 92% or more, 93% or more, 94% or more, 95% or more, 96% or more, 97% or more, 98% or more, or 99% or more. The upper limit of the diffraction efficiency retention rate is not particularly limited and may be 100% or less. The diffraction efficiency after long-term storage may be higher than the diffraction efficiency before long-term storage due to measurement error or device deviation. In this case, the diffraction efficiency retention rate after long-term storage is considered to be 100%.

[0238] The use of the holographic recording medium of the above embodiment is not particularly limited. As non-limiting examples, the holographic recording medium may be used in smart devices such as mobile devices, components of wearable displays, or automotive components (e.g., head-up displays).

[0239] Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the invention, a method for manufacturing a hologram recording medium is provided, comprising a step of forming a photopolymer layer by applying a photopolymer composition comprising a polymer matrix or a precursor thereof, a photoreactive monomer, and a photoinitiator system, wherein the photoinitiator system comprises a photosensitive dye and a co-initiator, and the photosensitive dye comprises a photosensitive dye in a red region, a photosensitive dye in a green region, and a photosensitive dye in a blue region, and wherein the photopolymer layer satisfies the above formulas 1 and 2.

[0240] The above photopolymer composition may be a photopolymer composition for forming a photopolymer layer of a holographic recording medium of the above-described embodiment, and since the components thereof have been described in detail above, a detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0241] In the step of forming the photopolymer layer, a photopolymer composition comprising the above-described composition may first be prepared. When preparing the photopolymer composition, a commonly known mixer, stirrer, or mixer may be used to mix each component without particular limitation. In addition, this mixing process may be performed at a temperature ranging from 0°C to 100°C, from 10°C to 80°C, or from 20°C to 60°C.

[0242] In the step of forming the above photopolymer layer, the prepared photopolymer composition may be applied to form a coating film formed from the photopolymer composition. The coating film may be dried naturally at room temperature or at a temperature in the range of 30 to 80°C. Through this process, a hydrosilylation reaction between the unreacted hydroxyl groups of the acrylic polyol and the silane functional groups of the siloxane polymer may be induced.

[0243] The photopolymer layer manufactured through the step of forming the above photopolymer layer may have a photoreactive monomer, a photosensitive dye, a public initiator, and additives added as needed uniformly dispersed within the crosslinked polymer matrix.

[0244] The method for manufacturing a hologram recording medium according to another embodiment of the present invention may include, after the step of forming a photopolymer layer, a step of irradiating a coherent laser to a predetermined area of ​​the photopolymer layer to selectively polymerize a photoreactive monomer included in the photopolymer layer to record optical information.

[0245] In the step of recording the optical information, when a coherent laser is irradiated onto the photopolymer layer, polymerization of the photoreactive monomer occurs in a region where constructive interference occurs, thereby forming a photopolymer, and polymerization of the photoreactive monomer does not occur or is suppressed in a region where destructive interference occurs, thereby forming a photoreactive monomer. In addition, the unreacted photoreactive monomer diffuses toward the photopolymer side where the concentration of the photoreactive monomer is low, thereby causing refractive index modulation, and a diffraction grating is generated by the refractive index modulation. Accordingly, a hologram, i.e., optical information, is recorded on the photopolymer layer having the diffraction grating.

[0246] The method for manufacturing a holographic recording medium of another embodiment of the present invention may additionally include a step of photobleaching by irradiating light to the entire photopolymer layer on which the optical information is recorded after the step of recording the optical information.

[0247] In the above-described photobleaching step, ultraviolet rays are irradiated onto the photopolymer layer on which optical information is recorded, thereby terminating the reaction of the photoreactive monomer remaining in the photopolymer layer and removing the color of the photosensitive dye. For example, in the above-described photobleaching step, ultraviolet rays (UVA) in the range of 320 to 400 nm are irradiated, thereby terminating the reaction of the photoreactive monomer and removing the color of the photosensitive dye.

[0248] Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the invention, an optical element including the holographic recording medium is provided.

[0249] Specific examples of the optical element include smart devices such as mobile devices, components of wearable displays, automotive products (e.g., head up displays), holographic fingerprint recognition systems, holographic optical elements having the functions of optical lenses, mirrors, deflecting mirrors, filters, diffusion screens, diffractive elements, light guides, waveguides, projection screens and / or masks, media and optical diffusion plates of optical memory systems, optical wavelength splitters, reflective and transmissive color filters, etc.

[0250] An example of an optical element including the above holographic recording medium is a holographic display device. The holographic display device includes a light source unit, an input unit, an optical system, and a display unit.

[0251] Specifically, the light source unit is a unit that irradiates a laser beam used to provide, record, and reproduce three-dimensional image information of an object in the input unit and display unit.

[0252] The above input section is a section that inputs 3D image information of an object to be recorded on a display section in advance, and specifically, it is a section that can input 3D information of an object, such as the intensity and phase of light by space, into an electrically addressed liquid crystal SLM, and at this time, an input beam can be used.

[0253] The above optical system may be composed of a mirror, a polarizer, a beam splitter, a beam shutter, a lens, etc. The above optical system may distribute a laser beam emitted from a light source unit into an input beam sent to an input unit, a recording beam sent to a display unit, a reference beam, an erase beam, a readout beam, etc.

[0254] The display unit can receive three-dimensional image information of an object from an input unit, record it on a hologram plate formed of an optically addressed SLM, and reproduce a three-dimensional image of the object. At this time, the three-dimensional image information of the object can be recorded through interference between an input beam and a reference beam. The three-dimensional image information of the object recorded on the hologram plate can be reproduced as a three-dimensional image by a diffraction pattern generated by a readout beam, and an erase beam can be used to quickly remove the formed diffraction pattern. Meanwhile, the hologram plate can be moved between a position for inputting a three-dimensional image and a position for reproducing the image.

[0255] A holographic recording medium according to one embodiment of the invention has excellent diffraction efficiency and transparent properties, so that even if a holographic image is reproduced in a space beyond the holographic recording medium, the holographic recording medium is not visible, allowing a holographic image to be reproduced vividly and realistically in the air, and exhibiting excellent visibility.

[0256] Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a recording equipment setup for hologram recording. Specifically, Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a process in which a laser of a predetermined wavelength is irradiated from a light source (10), and then passes through a mirror (20, 20'), an iris (30), a spatial filter (40), an iris (30'), a collimation lens (50), and a splitter (PBS, Polarized Beam Splitter) (60), and is irradiated onto a PP (hologram recording medium) (80) located on one surface of a mirror (70).

[0257] Figure 2 is a graph showing the transmittance in the visible light region of the holographic recording medium manufactured in Example 2.

[0258] Figure 3 is a graph showing the diffraction efficiency (DE) according to wavelength (W / L) when full-color optical information is recorded on a holographic recording medium manufactured in Example 2.

[0259] The following specific examples of the invention will further illustrate its functions and effects. However, these examples are presented as illustrative examples and do not limit the scope of the invention in any way.

[0260] In the following manufacturing examples, examples, and comparative examples, the content of raw materials, etc. refers to the content based on solid content unless otherwise specified.

[0261]

[0262] Manufacturing Example 1: Manufacturing of acrylic polyol

[0263] In a 2 L jacketed reactor, 132 g of butyl acrylate, 420 g of ethyl acrylate, and 48 g of hydroxybutyl acrylate were added, and diluted with 1,200 g of ethyl acetate. The reaction temperature was set to 60 to 70 °C, and stirring was performed for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. 0.42 g of n-dodecyl mercaptan (n-DDM) was additionally added, and stirring was performed for about another 30 minutes. Thereafter, 0.24 g of AIBN, a polymerization initiator, was added, and polymerization was performed at the reaction temperature for more than 4 hours until the residual acrylate content became less than 1%, thereby producing an acrylate copolymer (weight average molecular weight of about 300,000, OH equivalent of about 1802 g / equivalent) in which the hydroxyl group was located in the branched chain.

[0264]

[0265] Manufacturing Example 2: Manufacturing of fluorine compounds

[0266] In a 1000 mL flask, 20.51 g of 2,2'-{oxybis[(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane-2,1-diyl)oxy]}bis(2,2-difluoroethan-1-ol) was added, dissolved in 500 g of tetrahydrofuran, and 4.40 g of sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil) was carefully added several times while stirring at 0 °C. After stirring at 0 °C for 20 minutes, 12.50 mL of 2-methoxyethoxymethyl chloride was slowly dropped. When it was confirmed that all the reactants were consumed by 1H NMR, 29 g of a liquid product with a purity of 95% or more was obtained in a yield of 98% through work-up using dichloromethane. The weight average molecular weight of the manufactured fluorine compound is 586, and the refractive index measured by an Abbe refractometer is 1.361.

[0267]

[0268] Example 1: Preparation of photopolymer composition and holographic recording medium

[0287] Test Example 1: Performance Evaluation of Holographic Recording Media

[0288] (1) Average transmittance in the visible light region (T avg , %)

[0289] After photobleaching a holographic recording medium on which no optical information was recorded (hereinafter, a sample before recording), the transmittance in the visible light range (wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm) was measured.

[0290] Specifically, a photobleached sample was obtained by irradiating the sample with ultraviolet (UV) light and a white LED before recording. The transmittance of the photobleached sample in the 400 to 700 nm range was measured using a UV-Vis spectrometer.

[0291] The average value of the transmittance measured in the above 400 to 700 nm region was calculated and defined as the average transmittance in the visible light region.

[0292] The transmittance in the visible light region of the holographic recording medium manufactured in Example 2 is shown in Fig. 2.

[0293]

[0294] (2) Color difference (△E)

[0295] The transmittance in the visible light region (wavelength region of 400 to 700 nm) of the photobleached sample was measured using the same method as the average transmittance measurement method in the visible light region, thereby obtaining a transmittance spectrum.

[0296] The trichromatic stimulus values ​​(X, Y, Z) of the CIE XYZ color space were calculated from the transmittance spectrum of the photobleached sample. The trichromatic stimulus values ​​were calculated using Equation 5 below.

[0297] [Formula 5]

[0298]

[0299] In the above equation 5, S(λ) is the output distribution function of the standard illuminant (D65), is the color matching function for a viewing angle of 10° in the CIE XYZ color space, is the transmittance distribution function (transmittance spectrum) of the photobleached sample, and λ is the wavelength.

[0300] The trichromatic stimulus value obtained through the above equation 5 is L in the CIE Lab color space through the following equation 6. * , a * , b * Converted to value.

[0301] [Formula 6]

[0302]

[0303] In the above equation 6, X n , Y n and Z nFor a standard illuminant (D65) and a field of view of 10 °, the values ​​are 94.71, 100.00, and 107.08, respectively, and t is X / X n , Y / Y n or Z / Z n am.

[0304] L obtained through the above equation 6 * , a * , b * The color difference (△E) was obtained by substituting it into Equation 7.

[0305] [Formula 7]

[0306]

[0307] In the above equation 7, L S * , a S * and b S * is the value of the target sample for which the color difference is to be measured, and L R * , a R * and b R * is the value of the reference sample.

[0308] In this test example, the reference sample was set to have the same brightness (L) as the target sample. * ) assuming white light with L R * Silver L S * As is the same as (L) in Equation 7 S * - L R * ) 2 is 0, and a R * and b R * It is also 0.

[0309] The above low △E means that the three primary lights of red, green, and blue uniformly pass through the holographic recording medium without being biased to one side, so the color of the image seen by passing through the holographic recording medium has little difference from the actual color (originally intended color).

[0310]

[0311] (3) Diffraction efficiency (DE)

[0312] a) Full-color optical information recording (simultaneous recording)

[0313] A diffraction grating was recorded using a setup similar to that in Fig. 1. Specifically, when the manufactured photopolymer layer is laminated onto a mirror and then irradiated with a laser, a notch filter hologram having a periodic refractive index modulation in the thickness direction can be recorded through interference between incident light (L) and light reflected from the mirror (L').

[0314] For full-color optical information recording, lasers of 640 nm (red), 532 nm (green), and 460 nm (blue) were used to simultaneously irradiate light of the above wavelengths. At this time, the incident angle was 0 ° (degree), and the sum of the laser intensities of each wavelength was 1.5 mW / cm. 2 , the light irradiation time was 30 seconds to record the notch filter hologram. After recording the hologram, the sample was irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) light and a white LED to obtain a photobleached sample after recording. The notch filter and Bragg reflector are optical elements that reflect only light of a specific wavelength, and have a structure in which two layers with different refractive indices are periodically repeatedly laminated at a constant thickness.

[0315]

[0316] b) Sole record

[0317] Optical information was recorded using the same method as for full-color optical information recording, except that optical information was recorded solely using a laser in only one region selected from among the red, green, and blue regions. That is, holographic recording media in which three pieces of optical information were recorded solely per type of holographic recording media manufactured in the examples and comparative examples were manufactured.

[0318]

[0319] c) Measurement of diffraction efficiency

[0320] After recording, the diffraction efficiency (DE) of the sample was calculated using Equation 8 below.

[0321] [Formula 8]

[0322] DE X_λ (%) = {(T0- T m ) / T0} X 100

[0323] In the above equation 8,

[0324] X is indicated as F when the red, green and blue regions are simultaneously irradiated in a recording manner, and S when the red, green or blue region is irradiated alone.

[0325] λ is the recording wavelength region, which is one of the red region (RED), green region (GREEN), and blue region (BLUE),

[0326] DE X_λ is the diffraction efficiency in the recording wavelength range of the sample recorded according to the X method, T0 is the transmittance in the recording wavelength range of the unrecorded sample after photobleaching, and T m is the transmittance in the recording wavelength range of the photobleached sample after recording.

[0332] The diffraction efficiency (DE) according to wavelength (W / L) when full-color optical information was recorded on the holographic recording medium manufactured in Example 2 is shown in Fig. 3. Referring to Table 2 and Fig. 3, it is confirmed that Examples 1 and 2 exhibit excellent optical recording characteristics in all red, green, and blue regions not only when optical information is recorded alone but also when full-color optical information is recorded.

[0333] In contrast, Comparative Example 1 showed poor diffraction efficiency in the red region, Comparative Examples 2 and 3 showed poor diffraction efficiency in the green region, and Comparative Examples 4 to 6 showed poor diffraction efficiency in the blue region. In addition, it was confirmed that in Comparative Examples 1 to 6, the photobleached samples showed low transmittance and high color difference in the visible light region, making it difficult to provide a colorless and transparent holographic recording medium capable of recording full-color optical information.

[0334] Accordingly, it is confirmed that the holographic recording medium according to one embodiment of the invention has excellent diffraction efficiency in the red, green, and blue regions, enabling full-color optical information recording, and exhibits colorless and transparent optical characteristics.
