Description

Optical filter and ambient light sensor
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an optical filter and an ambient light sensor using the same.
Background
In recent years, ambient light sensors have been developed as applications to information terminal devices such as smartphones and tablet terminals. An ambient light sensor in an information terminal device is used as an illuminance sensor for sensing illuminance of an environment in which the information terminal device is placed and adjusting brightness of a display, a color sensor for sensing color tone of the environment in which the information terminal device is placed and adjusting color tone of the display, or the like.
In order to adapt the human visual perception to the brightness or color tone of the display in a natural manner, it is important that only visible light reaches the ambient light sensor. For example, the ambient light sensor can have spectral sensitivity characteristics close to near-eye sensitivity by providing an optical filter such as a near-infrared cut filter.
On the other hand, in response to a request for placing importance on the design of an information terminal device, there is a demand for reducing the transmittance (blackened appearance) of a transmission window through which light is incident on an ambient light sensor, but there are problems as follows: the amount of incident visible light with respect to infrared light is reduced, and it is difficult to detect accurate illuminance or color tone, which causes malfunction. Further, the information terminal device is being made thinner (low profile), and the distance from the entrance window to the ambient light sensor is becoming shorter. Therefore, for example, the proportion of incident light having a high incident angle such as 60 ° from the incident angle increases, and it is required that the spectral characteristic (particularly, the intensity of near infrared rays) of light reaching the ambient light sensor does not change even with respect to the incident light having a high incident angle.
As a means for matching the spectral characteristics of an ambient light sensor to the human visual sensitivity, a device provided with a near infrared cut filter in which a metal multilayer film is formed on a glass plate is disclosed (for example, see patent document 1). However, the near-infrared cut filter formed by forming a metal multilayer thin film on a glass plate has a problem that the detection accuracy of the ambient light sensor is lowered because the optical characteristics thereof greatly change depending on the incident angle of incident light.
As a material capable of cutting a wide range of near infrared rays regardless of an incident angle, various near infrared absorbing particles are known (for example, see patent documents 2 and 3). In order to achieve sufficient near infrared ray cut-off performance for applications as an ambient light sensor using such near infrared ray absorbing particles, it is necessary to increase the amount of the near infrared ray absorbing particles added. However, in the near infrared ray cut filter, if the amount of the near infrared ray absorbing particles added is increased, there is a problem that the visible light transmittance is decreased.
On the other hand, a near infrared ray cut filter including a substrate made of a norbornene resin, a near infrared ray absorbing dye having a maximum absorption at a specific wavelength, and a near infrared ray reflective film has a characteristic that a change in transmittance in a visible region when light is incident from an oblique direction is small (for example, see patent document 4). When the near-infrared cut filter is used for an ambient light sensor, it is considered desirable to further improve the infrared cut performance at high incident angles such as an incident angle of 60 °.
In addition, for the purpose of controlling display luminance according to ambient illuminance that does not depend on the arrangement of the illumination source, an ambient light sensor using a light guide member in which a light incident surface is formed of a light diffusion surface and the position of the light incident surface is located above the position of a light exit surface with respect to the vertical direction has been proposed (see, for example, patent document 5).
On the other hand, it is known to use actinic rays that can emit electromagnetic radiation having a peak emission wavelength of about 700nm to 1200nm in order to authenticate a person or user using biometric features. Furthermore, it is also known that in order to reduce the amount of background light incident from the spectrum of the sun, it is particularly advantageous to use light having a wavelength around 940 nm. The wavelength of light of 940nm is filtered to some extent from the solar spectrum by moisture in the atmosphere, and background noise in the wavelength region is reduced when ambient light includes sunlight (see, for example, patent document 6).
Information terminal devices such as smartphones, tablet terminals, and personal computers, home appliances such as televisions, and machines such as automated teller machines are required to have both a function of authenticating individuals or users and a function of displaying images on a display, and ambient light sensors are used as an illuminance sensor, a color sensor, and the like as described above.
However, in a device equipped with both the biometric authentication system and the ambient light sensor as described above, 940nm light used in the biometric authentication system may adversely affect the detection accuracy of the ambient light sensor.

By thus closely adhering the light scattering layer to the base material (i) via the transparent adhesion layer having the refractive index in the above range, the loss of the amount of light due to the interface reflection can be reduced, and therefore, an optical filter which transmits visible light rays having a high amount of light can be obtained.

< dielectric multilayer film >
The optical filter of the present invention is preferably a laminate comprising the substrate (i) and a dielectric multilayer film provided on at least one surface of the substrate (i) (hereinafter, the laminate before the light scattering layer is formed is also referred to as "laminate for optical filter"). The dielectric multilayer film in the present invention is a film having a near infrared ray reflecting ability or a film having an antireflection effect in the visible region, and by having the dielectric multilayer film, more excellent visible light transmittance and near infrared ray cut-off characteristics can be realized.
The OD value measured from the direction perpendicular to the optical filter laminate at a wavelength of 940nm is preferably 3 or more, more preferably 4 or more, and still more preferably 5 or more and 8 or less. By setting the OD value to the range, it is possible to prevent malfunction of the optical sensor due to laser light used in a system for authenticating a biometric characteristic.
In addition, in the region of a wavelength of 850nm to 1050nm, the average OD value measured from the perpendicular direction of the optical filter laminate is preferably 2 or more, more preferably 3 or more, and still more preferably 4 or more and 8 or less. If the average OD value is in the range, the near infrared ray can be sufficiently cut off.
In the present invention, the dielectric multilayer film may be provided on one side or both sides of the substrate. When the optical filter is provided on one surface, the optical filter is excellent in manufacturing cost and manufacturing easiness, and when the optical filter is provided on both surfaces, the optical filter has high strength and is less likely to warp or twist. When the optical filter is applied to a solid-state imaging device, the optical filter is preferably small in warpage or distortion, and therefore, the dielectric multilayer film is preferably provided on both surfaces of the resin substrate.
In the case where the dielectric multilayer film and the light scattering layer are formed on the same surface side of the substrate (i), the light scattering layer is preferably formed on the dielectric multilayer film.
The dielectric multilayer film preferably has a reflection characteristic over the entire range of a wavelength of preferably 700nm to 1100nm, more preferably 700nm to 1150nm, and even more preferably 700nm to 1200 nm.
As the dielectric multilayer film, a dielectric multilayer film in which high refractive index material layers and low refractive index material layers are alternately stacked may be mentioned. As the material constituting the high refractive index material layer, a material having a refractive index of 1.7 or more can be used, and a material having a refractive index of usually 1.7 to 2.5 is selected. Examples of such a material include a material containing titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, tantalum pentoxide, niobium pentoxide, lanthanum oxide, yttrium oxide, zinc sulfide, indium oxide, or the like as a main component, and a small amount (for example, 0 to 10 mass% based on the main component) of titanium oxide, tin oxide, cerium oxide, or the like.
As the material constituting the low refractive index material layer, a material having a refractive index of 1.6 or less can be used, and a material having a refractive index of usually 1.2 to 1.6 is selected. Examples of such materials include: silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, lanthanum fluoride, magnesium fluoride and sodium aluminum hexafluoride.
The method of laminating the high refractive index material layer and the low refractive index material layer is not particularly limited as long as a dielectric multilayer film in which these material layers are laminated is formed. For example, a dielectric multilayer film in which high refractive index material layers and low refractive index material layers are alternately stacked can be directly formed on the substrate (i) by a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method, a sputtering method, a vacuum Deposition method, an ion-assisted Deposition method, an ion plating method, or the like.
When the wavelength of the near infrared ray to be blocked is λ (nm), the thickness of each of the high refractive index material layer and the low refractive index material layer is preferably 0.1 λ to 0.5 λ. The value of λ (nm) is, for example, 700nm to 1400nm, preferably 750nm to 1300 nm. When the thickness is in the above range, the product (n × d) of the refractive index (n) and the film thickness (d) becomes substantially the same value as the optical film thickness calculated by λ/4 and the thickness of each of the high refractive index material layer and the low refractive index material layer, and there is a tendency that the blocking/transmission of a specific wavelength can be easily controlled in accordance with the relationship between the optical characteristics of reflection and refraction.
The total number of layers of the high refractive index material layer and the low refractive index material layer in the dielectric multilayer film is preferably 16 to 70 layers, and more preferably 20 to 60 layers in the entire optical filter. If the thickness of each layer, the thickness of the dielectric multilayer film as the whole optical filter, or the total number of stacked layers falls within the above range, sufficient manufacturing margin can be secured, and warpage of the optical filter or cracks in the dielectric multilayer film can be reduced.
In the present invention, by appropriately selecting the types of materials constituting the high refractive index material layer and the low refractive index material layer, the thicknesses of the respective layers of the high refractive index material layer and the low refractive index material layer, the order of lamination, and the number of lamination in combination with the absorption characteristics of the compound (S) or the compound (a), it is possible to ensure a sufficient transmittance in the visible region, have a sufficient light cut-off characteristic in the near infrared wavelength region, and reduce the reflectance when near infrared rays enter from an oblique direction.
In order to optimize the conditions, for example, parameters may be set so as to achieve both the antireflection effect in the visible region and the light-blocking effect in the near-infrared region using optical Film design software (e.g., manufactured by core metal machine, Thin Film Center, inc.). In the case of the software, for example, there may be mentioned: in designing the first optical layer, a parameter setting method is used, for example, in which the Target transmittance at a wavelength of 400 to 700nm is set to 100%, the Target Tolerance (Target Tolerance) value is set to 1, the Target transmittance at a wavelength of 705 to 950nm is set to 0%, and the Target Tolerance value is set to 0.5. These parameters may also be used to change the value of the target tolerance by dividing the wavelength range more finely in conjunction with various characteristics of the substrate (i) and the like.
The average value of the transmittances measured in the perpendicular direction of the optical filter laminate in the region having a wavelength of 430nm to 580nm (hereinafter also referred to as "TA' ") is preferably 40% or more and 80% or less, more preferably 40% or more and 70% or less, and still more preferably 40% or more and 60% or less. Average value of transmittance (T)A') too high, the following exists: the intensity of light incident on the light receiving portion of the optical sensor having the optical filter of the present invention becomes too strong, and the optical sensor is saturated and thus cannot function normally. In addition, as the average value (T) of the transmittanceA') too low, the following exists: light incident on the photosensor having the optical filter of the present inventionThe intensity of light at the receiving portion becomes weak, and the intensity of light passing through the filter is not sufficiently secured, and thus the light cannot be preferably used for the above-mentioned purpose.
The laminate for an optical filter preferably has a haze (JIS K7136) of 0.2% or more and 1% or less, more preferably 0.5% or more and 1% or less. When the haze is in the above range, the optical filter laminate can be produced without reducing the yield in the production of the optical filter laminate.

As the polymerization initiator, a known photopolymerization initiator or thermal polymerization initiator may be used, or a photopolymerization initiator and a thermal polymerization initiator may be used in combination. One kind of the polymerization initiator may be used alone, or two or more kinds may be used in combination.
In the curable composition, the proportion of the polymerization initiator to be blended is preferably 0.1 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 10% by mass, and still more preferably 1 to 5% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the total amount of the curable composition. When the blending ratio of the polymerization initiator is in the above range, the curable composition is excellent in curing properties and handling properties, and a functional film such as an antireflection film, a hard coat film, or an antistatic film having a desired hardness can be obtained.
Further, an organic solvent may be added to the curable composition as a solvent, and a known organic solvent may be used as the organic solvent.

When light is incident on the light receiving portion, the photoelectric conversion element 202 generates current or voltage by a photovoltaic effect (photovoltaic effect). The optical filter 100 is provided on the light receiving surface side of the photoelectric conversion element 202. The light entering the light receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion element 202 is converted into light in the visible light range and light in the near infrared range (800nm to 2500nm) is blocked by the optical filter 100. The ambient light sensor 200a senses visible light and outputs a signal.
In the ambient light sensor 200a, another light-transmitting layer may be interposed between the optical filter 100 and the photoelectric conversion element 202. For example, a light-transmitting resin layer may be provided as a sealing material between the optical filter 100 and the photoelectric conversion element 202.

For example, the photoelectric conversion layer 208 is formed using a silicon semiconductor. The photoelectric conversion layer 208 is a diode-type element, and exhibits photovoltaic by a built-in electric field. The photoelectric conversion element 202 is not limited to a diode-type element, and may be a photoconductive-type element (also referred to as a photoresistor, a photoconductor, or a photovoltaic cell), or a phototransistor-type element.
The photoelectric conversion layer 208 may be formed using a germanium semiconductor or a silicon germanium semiconductor, in addition to a silicon semiconductor. In addition, GaP, GaAsP, CdS, CdTe, CuInSe may also be used as the photoelectric conversion layer 2082And the like. The photoelectric conversion element 202 formed of a semiconductor material has sensitivity to light from the visible ray range to the near infrared ray range. For example, when the photoelectric conversion layer 208 is formed of a silicon semiconductor, the band gap energy of the silicon semiconductor is 1.12eV, and thus light having a wavelength of 700nm to 1100nm, which is near-infrared light, can be absorbed in principle. However, by including the optical filter 100, the ambient light sensor 200a does not sense near infrared light and has sensitivity to light in the visible light region. The photoelectric conversion element 202 is preferably surrounded by a light-shielding frame 204 so that light transmitted through the optical filter 100 is selectively irradiated. The ambient light sensor 200a may block near infrared light and detect ambient light by including the optical filter 100. Thus, the ambient light sensor 200a can eliminate the inconvenience of erroneous operation due to the sensing of near infrared light.
Fig. 2 shows an example of an ambient light sensor 200b that detects not only the brightness of the surroundings but also the color tone. The ambient light sensor 200b includes the optical filter 100, the photoelectric conversion elements 202a to 202c, and the color filters 212a to 212 c. A color filter 212a that transmits light in the red light range is provided on the light receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion element 202a, a color filter 212b that transmits light in the green light range is provided on the light receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion element 202b, and a color filter 212c that transmits light in the blue light range is provided on the light receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion element 202 c. The photoelectric conversion elements 202a to 202c have the same configuration as that shown in fig. 1, except that they are insulated by the element isolation insulating layer 214. With the above configuration, the photoelectric conversion elements 202a to 202c can independently detect illuminance. The passivation film 216 may be provided between the color filters 212a to 212c and the photoelectric conversion elements 202a to 202 c.
The photoelectric conversion elements 202a to 202c have sensitivity over a wide range from the visible light wavelength region to the near infrared wavelength region. Therefore, the ambient light sensor 200b can block near infrared light and prevent malfunction of the sensor by providing the color filters 212a to 212c corresponding to the photoelectric conversion elements 202a to 202c in addition to the optical filter 100, and can detect light corresponding to each color. The ambient light sensor 200b includes the optical filter 100 and the color filters 212a to 212c that block light in the near infrared region, and thus can be applied not only to the case where ambient light is split into light in a plurality of wavelength ranges and detected, but also to the case where the ambient light cannot be accurately detected due to the influence of near infrared rays in the conventional color sensor.
Fig. 3 shows an example of a cross-sectional structure of an ambient light sensor 200c including an illuminance sensor light-receiving element 112a and an optical filter 100. The ambient light sensor 200c functions as an illuminance sensor by detecting the intensity of external light by the illuminance sensor light receiving element 112 a. An optical filter 100 is provided on the upper surface of the illuminance sensor light-receiving element 112 a. The optical filter 100 blocks light in the near infrared wavelength region of light incident on the light receiving surface of the illuminance sensor light-receiving element 112a, and allows detection of the intensity of external light corresponding to the sensitivity characteristics of the illuminance sensor light-receiving element. By using the optical filter 100 including the base material 102 including the light absorbing layer, the dielectric multilayer film 104, and the light scattering layer 106, a high-light-amount visible light is introduced into the ambient light sensor, and light in a visible light region in which a change due to an incident angle is small in accordance with the visibility characteristics of the illuminance sensor is incident on the illuminance sensor light receiving element, so that the illuminance sensor with less malfunction can be obtained.
When the optical filter of the present invention is used in an ambient light sensor, as shown in fig. 3, the light scattering layer 106 is preferably provided on the upper side (the side on which light enters), and particularly preferably provided as the uppermost layer of the optical filter.
