It is considered the thickness to be solved ' d ', i.e., dielectric layer internal electric field is the position at zero or positioning.
Referring now to Fig. 3, equation 19 is used to calculate when being exposed to the EMR of the wavelength with 434nm shown in Figure 1A ZnS dielectric layer in zero or nearly zero electric field point be at 70nm the 77nm of 500nm wavelength (rather than be directed to).In addition, The Cr absorber layers of 15nm thickness are inserted at the thickness of Al reflector layer 70nm to provide zero or nearly zero electric field ZnS-Cr Interface.The structure of this creativeness allows the light with 434nm wavelength to pass through Cr-ZnS interface, but absorbs and do not have The light of 434nm wavelength.In other words, Cr-ZnS interface has zero or nearly zero electric field about the light with 434nm wavelength, because The light of this 434nm passes through the interface.However, Cr-ZnS interface for do not have 434nm wavelength light do not have then zero or Nearly zero electric field, therefore such light is by Cr absorber layers and/or the absorption of Cr-ZnS interface and anti-not by Al reflector layer It penetrates.
It is to be appreciated that a certain proportion of light within the +/- 10nm of desired 434nm passes through the boundary Cr-ZnS Face.However, it will again be appreciated that, the narrowband of this reflected light, such as 434+/- 10nm, distinct knot is still provided to human eye Structure color.
Be illustrated in FIG. 4 the multilayer laminated Cr absorber layers in Fig. 3 as a result, reflectivity percentages are shown To the EMR wavelength reflected.Shown in dotted line, the dotted line and ZnS electricity shown in Fig. 3 in the case where no Cr absorber layers Dielectric layer is corresponding, and a narrow reflection peak is present in about 400nm, but a much broader peak appears in about 550+ nm Place.In addition, still thering is a considerable number of light to be reflected in 500nm wavelength region.Therefore, occur obstruction it is multilayer laminated have or The bimodal of schemochrome is presented.
On the contrary, the solid line in Fig. 4 is corresponding with structure shown in Fig. 3 in the presence of Cr absorber layers.Such as figure Shown in, occur sharp peak at about 434nm and is provided by Cr absorber layers for the wavelength greater than 434nm The sharply decline of reflectivity.It is to be appreciated that being visually revealed as strikingly color/structure by the sharp peak that solid line shows Color.In addition, Fig. 4 instantiates the place of the width of measurement reflection peak or band, i.e., at the 50% of the reflectivity of maximum reflection wavelength Determine bandwidth, also referred to as halfwidth degree (FWHM).
The omnidirection of the multilayered structure shown in Fig. 3 shows, and the thickness of ZnS dielectric layer can be designed or be set as So that the first harmonic of only reflected light is provided.It is to be appreciated that this is enough, the still production of " red " color for " indigo plant " color It is raw to need additional consideration.For example, the control for red angle independence is difficult, this is because needing thicker dielectric Layer, this results in higher hamonic wave in turn and designs, i.e. second harmonic and possible triple-frequency harmonics is inevitable.This Outside, wine-colored tone space is very narrow.Therefore, red multilayer laminated to there is higher angular variance (angular variance)。
It is directed to red higher angular variance in order to overcome, this application discloses the uniquenesses that can provide the independent red color of angle , novel design/configuration.It is directed to for example, Fig. 5 A instantiates to present when the outer surface of dielectric layer is by from 0 and 45 degree of viewing The dielectric layer of the primary and secondary harmonic wave of incident white light.As shown in the graphical representation, provided by the thickness of dielectric layer low Angle-dependence (small Δ λc), however, this multilayer laminated group with blue (first harmonic) and red (second harmonic) Merge and is therefore not suitable for desired " Shan Hong " color.So having been developed for absorbing using absorber layers undesired humorous Concept/structure of wave system.Fig. 5 A also illustrates the reflection band central wavelength (λ for given reflection peakc) position and work as sample By the residual quantity or offset (Δ λ from central wavelength when 0 and 45 degree of viewingc) example.
Turning now to Fig. 5 B, absorbed with the Cr absorber layers being located at suitable dielectric layer thickness (for example, 72nm) Second harmonic shown in Fig. 5 A simultaneously provides distinct blue.It is more importantly for this invention that Fig. 5 C is instantiated and is passed through use Cr absorber layers at different dielectric layer thickness (for example, 125nm) absorb first harmonic to provide red.However, figure 5C, which is also illustrated, to be still resulted in by the use of multilayer laminated Cr absorber layers more than desired angle-dependence, that is, is greater than and is wished Δ λc
It is to be appreciated that for red λ compared with bluecIn relatively large offset be since peony tone is empty Between very narrow and Cr absorber layers absorb wavelength (that is, not absorbing light when electric field is zero or nearly zero) relevant to non-zero electric field The fact.Therefore, Fig. 6 A instantiates the optical wavelength for different incidence angles, and zero or non-zero points are different.This factor causes Angle relevant absorptivity shown in Fig. 6 B, i.e., the difference of 0 ° and 45 ° absorbance curves.Therefore more in order to further improve Layer stack design and angle independence performance have been used regardless of whether electric field is zero absorber layers for all absorbing such as blue light.
Specifically, Fig. 7 A show with the Cu absorber layers extended throughout dielectric ZnS layer rather than Cr absorber layers It is multilayer laminated.It is shown in Fig. 7 B using this " colored " or " selective " absorber layers as a result, which show be directed to The gathering much of " compact " of 0 ° and 45 ° multilayer laminated absorbance curves shown in Fig. 7 A.Therefore, between Fig. 6 B and Fig. 7 B Comparison instantiate when using selective absorbing body layer rather than while using neutral absorber layer, is independent in absorptivity angle Significantly improving in terms of property.
