Definitions
- the physics of this so-called "blue shift" of the reflection band can be explained in connection with FIG. 1, where a portion of a multilayer film 10 is shown greatly enlarged.
- a light ray 12 is incident from medium 1 (with isotropic refractive index ni, for simplicity) at an angle ⁇ . .
- Part of the light ray reflects at an upper interface 14 between medium 1 and medium 2, and another part reflects at a lower interface 16 after traversing the layer of medium 2, whose physical thickness is d.
- Medium 2 is also assumed to have an isotropic refractive index, n , for simplicity.
- the specification discloses optical films whose transmitted appearance changes from substantially clear to a first color over an angular range of observation angles. At least some of these optical films, however, do not appear cyan over such angular range.
- the reflectivity of a reflection band is understood herein to be the maximum reflectivity of such band exclusive of any outer surface reflections of the film.) As the observation angle increases, the reflection band appears in the visible region and increases in strength as shown by curve 32b. The reflection band increases still further with increasing observation angle as shown by curve 32c. The peak reflectivity of the reflection band thus increases substantially monotonically with increasing ⁇ , even though slight decreases in peak reflectivity of a few percent may in some circumstances occur with increasing ⁇ at low reflectivity values if the in-plane refractive index mismatch is significant. Although a blue shift can be seen in the sequence of FIG. 3 (as was the case in the sequence of FIG. 2), FIG.
- the apparent color saturation can be greatly enhanced if the film is illuminated with only p-polarized light, or if it is observed through an analyzer that transmits only p-polarized light.
- the colored appearance of the film can be essentially eliminated even at highly oblique angles if the film is illuminated with only s-polarized light, or if it is observed through an analyzer that transmits only s-polarized light.
- the appearance of the film (whether colored or not, depending on the illumination and viewing conditions) is insensitive to rotations of the film about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the film, and to rotations of the observer about the film in such a way that the observation angle ⁇ is maintained constant.
- the optical repeat units should have optical thicknesses that produce at an oblique angle a reflectivity over the human visible spectrum that is non-uniform, so that the film exhibits a colored appearance in transmitted light at such angle.
- the optical thicknesses of the optical repeat units can be chosen to all be equal such that a single, relatively narrow reflection band emerges in a desired portion of the visible spectrum with increasing incidence angle.
- multiple packets of optical repeat units can be used, where each packet has optical repeat units of a uniform optical thickness, but such optical thickness being different for the different packets so that distinct narrow reflection bands emerge in a desired part of the visible spectrum.
- thickness gradients can be employed to produce broadened reflection bands over portions of the visible spectrum.
- At least some (and preferably substantially all) of the optical repeat units in the subject films reflect visible light over a range of nonzero angles of incidence, i.e., over a range of oblique angles of incidence. Therefore, although the reflection band at large incidence angles is blue-shifted to some extent relative to the reflection band at small incidence angles, most optical films described herein will nevertheless have at least some optical repeat units whose (normal incidence) optical thickness is equal to half of a wavelength of visible light, or half of a wavelength between about 400 and 700 ran, or from about 200 to 350 nm, while also having a normal angle transmitted appearance that is substantially clear and/or having substantially no reflection bands at normal incidence, whether in the visible or near infrared regions.
- each optical repeat unit can consist essentially of just two light transmissible optical layers.
- optical repeat unit designs can also be used in accordance with the above teachings.
- four layer designs using three different materials as described in U.S. Patent 5,103,337 (Schrenk et al.), "Infrared Reflective Optical Interference Film”, and six layer designs using two materials as described in U.S. Patent 5,360,659 (Arends et al.), "Two Component Infrared Reflecting Film”, can also be used.
- a simple two-component quarter-wave (0.50 f-ratio) design is preferred since it provides high reflectivity for the lowest order reflection and since higher order reflections are generally of no concern.
- Films as described herein and articles incorporating such films can be used in a variety of end-use applications.
- specialized optical systems can benefit from the unique properties of a p-polarizer. See, for example, commonly assigned U.S.
- the condensation reaction by-product ethylene glycol
- ethylene glycol is continuously removed until a polymer with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.60 dL/g, as measured in 60/40 wt.% phenol/o-dichlorobenzene at 86°C, is produced.
- This material a thermoplastic polymer, has a glass transition temperature T g of 79°C and a melting temperature T m of 255°C as measured by DSC using ASTM D3418 with a scan rate of 20°C /min, and at a relative humidity of about 50%.
- the thermal history of the polymer is removed as a factor by performing two DSC heat scans on the sample and recording the T g of the second heat scan.
- Polymer 7 - co-PEN containing nano-zirconia The isotropic refractive index of coPEN-HNLT described as Polymer 1 can be increased to 1.65 by incorporation of about 40 wt% zirconia particles with average particle size of less than about 30 nm. Zirconia itself has a refractive index of about 2.2 in the visible. The nano-zirconia particles should be adequately dispersed to avoid excessive haze or scattering of light in the polymer matrix.
- the resulting thermoplastic polymer-based material has the same glass transition temperature as Polymer 1, i.e., about 76°C, and is suitable for use in the isotropic optical layers of a multilayer film.
- the glass transition temperature of this polymer-based material can be tailored by adjusting the relative proportions of the acrylate monomers, since T g « 100°C for naphthyl thio-acrylate, T g « 40°C for naphtyl thioethyl acrylate, and T g « 9°C for naphthyl oxyethyl acrylate.
- the glass transition temperature of the material can be tailored to be below 79°C, the glass transition temperature of PET.
- This Polymer 8 is suitable for use in the isotropic optical layers of a multilayer film.
- PET/ 20%) PETG PETG
- isotropic light transmissible material is Polymer 10 (High Index co-PEN). These materials can be coextruded and oriented under suitable conditions analogous to those of the Example to provide a finished multilayer p-polarizing film whose layers have the following refractive indices: Polymer 10: n x » n y « n z « 1.63
- F-ratio the relative contribution of a given individual layer to the total optical thickness of a given ORU.
- the f-ratio for the k-th individual layer is: , where l ⁇ k ⁇ N, where N is the number of constituent layers in the
