Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems solved, technical solutions adopted and technical effects achieved by the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In the description of the present invention, unless expressly stated or limited otherwise, the terms "connected," "connected," and "fixed" are to be construed broadly, e.g., as meaning permanently connected, removably connected, or integral to one another; can be mechanically or electrically connected; either directly or indirectly through intervening media, either internally or in any other relationship. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.
In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly stated or limited, "above" or "below" a first feature means that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact with each other via another feature therebetween. Also, the first feature being "on," "above" and "over" the second feature includes the first feature being directly on and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicating that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a scattering film of the related art, which includes a scattering layer 110 and a protective layer 120, as shown in fig. 1. The protection layer 120 has a protection function, and prevents the scattering layer 110 from being damaged during the use of the scattering film. As described in the background of the present invention, after the electromagnetic wave is diffused by the scattering layer 110, a reflection phenomenon occurs at the interface between the scattering layer 110 and the protection layer 120, which results in a loss of electromagnetic energy along the propagation direction, and seriously affects the signal propagation distance and the quality of the transmission signal. The inventor has found that this is caused by the fact that the impedances of the scattering layer 110 and the protection layer 120 are different, the impedance of the two media is suddenly changed at the interface, and the reflection phenomenon is more serious when the impedance difference is larger.
Based on the above technical problem, the present embodiment provides the following solutions:
the scattering film comprises a scattering layer, an impedance gradual change layer and a protective layer which are sequentially stacked;
the scattering layer is provided with a scattering structure through which electromagnetic waves can pass, so that the electromagnetic waves are diffused to the periphery after passing through the scattering structure;
the impedance of the scattering structure is a first impedance value, the impedance of the protective layer is a second impedance value, and the impedance of the impedance gradual change layer along the stacking direction gradually changes from the first impedance value to the second impedance value.
The scattering film provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises a scattering layer, an impedance gradual change layer and a protective layer which are sequentially stacked along the stacking direction, wherein the scattering layer is provided with a scattering structure through which electromagnetic waves can pass, so that the electromagnetic waves are diffused to the periphery after passing through the scattering structure, the space range of electromagnetic wave emission is enlarged, the function of diffusing the electromagnetic waves is realized, and a communication blind area is avoided as far as possible. By arranging the impedance gradual change layer between the scattering layer and the protective layer, the impedance of the impedance gradual change layer along the stacking direction is gradually changed from the impedance of the scattering structure to the impedance of the protective layer, so that the impedance sudden change of the interface of the scattering structure and the protective layer is eliminated, the energy loss of electromagnetic waves in the process of passing through the scattering film is reduced, and the signal transmission distance and the quality of transmission signals are improved.
In order to make the technical solution of the present invention more clearly understood by those skilled in the art, the mask assembly provided in this embodiment is specifically described below with reference to the specific drawings:
an embodiment of the present invention provides a scattering film, and fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a scattering film provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the scattering film includes a scattering layer 210, an impedance-graded layer 220, and a protective layer 230, which are sequentially stacked in a Z direction.
The scattering layer 210 is made of any one metal material or two or more alloy materials selected from copper, aluminum, titanium, zinc, iron, nickel, chromium, cobalt, silver, and gold. Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the scattering layer 210 is copper.
The scattering layer 210 is provided with a scattering structure through which electromagnetic waves can pass, and when the electromagnetic waves pass through the scattering layer 210, the scattering structure scatters the electromagnetic waves, so that the space range of electromagnetic wave emission is enlarged, the function of scattering the electromagnetic waves is realized, and a communication blind area is avoided as much as possible. Illustratively, the scattering structure may include a plurality of second through holes 201 penetrating through the scattering layer 210, each second through hole 201 is filled with the same or different second dielectric materials 202, the second through hole 201 may be used for passing electromagnetic waves, and the aperture of the second through hole 201 may be smaller than the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves, so that the electromagnetic waves are diffracted after being incident to the through hole, so that the propagation path of the electromagnetic waves which are originally only directionally transmitted is changed, and multiple directions of propagation paths are generated through diffraction, thereby achieving scattering of the electromagnetic waves. For example, the scattering structure may also include a plurality of second through holes 201 penetrating through the scattering layer 210, the aperture of each second through hole 201 may be larger than the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, each second through hole 201 is filled with a different second dielectric material 202, in at least one preset direction, the refractive index of the second dielectric material 202 to the incident electromagnetic wave exhibits a trend of small middle and large two sides, and the preset direction is any direction in the surface of the scattering layer. When the electromagnetic wave passes through the scattering layer 210, the electromagnetic wave is deflected to a direction in which the refractive index is large, thereby achieving scattering of the electromagnetic wave.
The material of the protection layer 230 is an insulating material through which electromagnetic waves can pass, and has a certain impact resistance, so that the problem of short circuit caused by contact between the scattering film and other external electronic components in the use process is prevented, and the scattering film can be protected from being damaged in the use process. For example, the material of the protection layer 230 may be any one of a PPS (Polyphenylene sulfide) film layer, a PEN (Polyethylene naphthalate) film layer, a polyester film layer, a polyimide film layer, a film layer formed after curing epoxy resin ink, a film layer formed after curing polyurethane ink, a film layer formed after curing modified acrylic resin, or a film layer formed after curing polyimide resin.
The impedance of the scattering structure is a first impedance value, that is, the impedance of the second dielectric material 202 is a first impedance value, and the impedance of the protection layer 230 is a second impedance value. The impedance of the impedance gradual change layer 220 along the stacking direction (positive direction of Z) is continuously gradually changed from a first impedance value to a second impedance value, so that impedance abrupt change of an interface of the scattering structure and the protective layer is eliminated, energy loss of electromagnetic waves when the electromagnetic waves penetrate through the interface of the scattering structure and the protective layer is reduced, and signal propagation distance and transmission signal quality are improved.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2, the impedance-graded layer 220 is a unitary structure that continuously grades the impedance from the first impedance value to the second impedance value in the stacking direction (positive direction of Z). Illustratively, the resistance gradual change layer 220 may control the doping concentration of the substrate along the stacking direction by doping the substrate, so as to realize that the resistance of the overall structure along the stacking direction is continuously gradually changed from a first resistance value to a second resistance value.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the impedance-graded layer may not be a unitary structure, but may be formed by stacking a plurality of sub-layers, and the impedance of the plurality of sub-layers is graded from the first impedance value to the second impedance value continuously along the stacking direction.

The second through hole 201 is filled with a second dielectric material 202, and the second dielectric material 202 may be air or a material having no shielding effect on electromagnetic waves. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second dielectric material 202 is air. The aperture of the second through hole 201 is smaller than the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, so that the electromagnetic wave is diffracted after entering the second through hole 201, the propagation path of the original electromagnetic wave which is only transmitted directionally is changed, propagation paths in multiple directions are generated through diffraction, the spatial range of electromagnetic wave emission is expanded, the function of diverging the electromagnetic wave is realized, and a communication blind area is avoided as much as possible.
The material of the protection layer 230 is an insulating material through which electromagnetic waves can pass, and has a certain impact resistance, so that the problem of short circuit caused by contact between the scattering film and other external electronic components in the use process is prevented, and the scattering film can be protected from being damaged in the use process.
The resistance of the second dielectric material 202 is a first resistance value and the resistance of the protection layer 230 is a second resistance value. Illustratively, the resistance graded layer 220 includes a first sublayer 221, a second sublayer 222, and a third sublayer 223 that are sequentially stacked in a stacking direction. Each sublayer is made of a different substrate, and the impedance of each substrate is gradually changed from a first impedance value to a second impedance value along the stacking direction. Specifically, the impedance of the substrate of the first sub-layer 221 in contact with the scattering layer 210 is a first impedance value, and the impedance of the substrate of the third sub-layer 223 in contact with the protection layer 230 is a second impedance value, so that the impedances of the first sub-layer 221 to the third sub-layer 223 gradually change along the stacking direction. The impedance of the impedance gradual change layer along the stacking direction is continuously gradually changed from a first impedance value to a second impedance value, so that the impedance sudden change of the interface of the scattering structure and the protective layer is eliminated, the energy loss of the electromagnetic wave when the electromagnetic wave penetrates through the interface of the scattering structure and the protective layer is reduced, and the signal transmission distance and the quality of transmission signals are improved.
In the above embodiment, each sub-layer is made of a different substrate, and the impedance of each substrate is gradually changed along the stacking direction, so that the impedances of the first sub-layer to the nth sub-layer are gradually changed along the stacking direction. In other embodiments of the present invention, each sub-layer may also be made of the same base material, each sub-layer is provided with a plurality of first through holes penetrating through the sub-layer, the volume of the first through holes on the same sub-layer is the same, and the volumes and/or the numbers of the first through holes on different sub-layers are different, so that the impedances of the first sub-layer to the nth sub-layer gradually change along the stacking direction.

The scattering layer 210 is made of any one metal material or two or more alloy materials selected from copper, aluminum, titanium, zinc, iron, nickel, chromium, cobalt, silver, and gold. Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the scattering layer 210 is copper.
The scattering layer 210 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 201 penetrating through the scattering layer 210, and the second through holes 201 are used for passing electromagnetic waves. The second through hole 201 is filled with a second dielectric material 202, and the second dielectric material 202 may be air or a material having no shielding effect on electromagnetic waves. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second dielectric material 202 is air. The aperture of the second through hole 201 is smaller than the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, so that the electromagnetic wave is diffracted after entering the second through hole 201, the propagation path of the original electromagnetic wave which is only transmitted directionally is changed, propagation paths in multiple directions are generated through diffraction, the spatial range of electromagnetic wave emission is expanded, the function of diverging the electromagnetic wave is realized, and a communication blind area is avoided as much as possible.
The material of the protection layer 230 is an insulating material through which electromagnetic waves can pass, and has a certain impact resistance, so that the problem of short circuit caused by contact between the scattering film and other external electronic components in the use process is prevented, and the scattering film can be protected from being damaged in the use process.
The resistance of the second dielectric material 202 is a first resistance value and the resistance of the protection layer 230 is a second resistance value. Illustratively, the resistance graded layer 220 includes a first sublayer 221, a second sublayer 222, and a third sublayer 223 that are sequentially stacked in a stacking direction. Each sublayer is made of the same base material, each sublayer is provided with first through holes 203 penetrating through the sublayer, and the plurality of first through holes 203 are arranged in an array along the X direction and the Y direction, wherein the X direction and the Y direction are two directions which are perpendicular to each other in a plane where the impedance gradient layer 220 is located. The number of the first through holes 203 formed in each sub-layer is equal, and the volumes of the first through holes 203 are the same. The first via holes 203 are filled with a first dielectric material 204, the dielectric constants of the first dielectric materials 204 filled in the first via holes 203 on the same sub-layer are the same, and the dielectric constants of the first dielectric materials 204 filled in the first via holes 203 on different sub-layers are sequentially increased along the stacking direction. As shown in fig. 6, the filled first dielectric material 204 is shaded in the first via 203, and the higher the shading density is, the higher the dielectric constant of the first dielectric material 204 is.
As known to those skilled in the art, the dielectric constant of a medium is directly related to impedance, and the higher the dielectric constant of the medium is, the higher the impedance is. The dielectric constants of the first dielectric materials 204 filled in the first through holes 203 on different sub-layers are sequentially increased along the stacking direction, so that the equivalent impedance of each sub-layer gradually changes from a first impedance value to a second impedance value along the stacking direction. Specifically, the dielectric constant of the first dielectric material 204 filled in the first via 203 on the first sublayer 221 is the smallest, so that the equivalent impedance of the first sublayer 221 is equal to or close to the first impedance value, the dielectric constant of the first dielectric material 204 filled in the first via 203 on the third sublayer 223 is the largest, so that the equivalent impedance of the third sublayer 223 is equal to or close to the second impedance value, and the dielectric constants of the first dielectric materials 204 in the first vias 203 on different sublayers sequentially increase along the stacking direction, so that the equivalent impedances of the first sublayer 221 to the third sublayer 223 gradually change along the stacking direction. The impedance of the impedance gradual change layer along the stacking direction is continuously gradually changed from a first impedance value to a second impedance value, so that the impedance sudden change of the interface of the scattering structure and the protective layer is eliminated, the energy loss of the electromagnetic wave when the electromagnetic wave penetrates through the interface of the scattering structure and the protective layer is reduced, and the signal transmission distance and the quality of transmission signals are improved.
Illustratively, the first dielectric material 204 filled in the first through hole 203 of each sub-layer along the stacking direction may be air, glass, sodium chloride, polystyrene, quartz, crystal, copper oxide, iodine crystal, or the like.

It will be clear to a person skilled in the art that the higher the number of sublayers the graded-impedance layer comprises, the more gradual the graded-impedance layer has, the better the effect of eliminating abrupt impedance changes at the interface between the scattering structure and the protective layer. The number of sublayers of the resistance-graded layer may be 3 to 10 layers in consideration of the production cost.
In the above embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the second through hole and the first through hole are not limited, and the cross-sectional areas of the through holes cut on any cross section perpendicular to the Z direction may be the same or different.

The aperture of the second through hole 201 is set to have a variation trend of small middle and large two sides along the X direction, so that the disorder of the diffraction of the electromagnetic waves is enhanced, and the emission space range of the electromagnetic waves is further enlarged.
Along the X direction, each second through hole 201 is filled with a different second dielectric material 202, and along the X direction, the refractive index of the second dielectric material 202 filled in each second through hole 201 shows a variation trend of being small in the middle and large on both sides, so that the whole scattering layer 210 shows a variation trend of being low in the middle and high on both sides for the refractive index of the electromagnetic wave in the X direction, thereby realizing the divergence of the electromagnetic wave. Illustratively, iodine crystals, copper oxide, crystal, quartz, polystyrene, sodium chloride, glass, air, glass, sodium chloride, polystyrene, quartz, crystal, copper oxide, iodine crystals are filled in sequence along the X direction. As shown in fig. 9, the filled second dielectric material 202 is shaded in the second through hole 201, and the greater the shading density, the greater the refractive index of the second dielectric material 202.

The concrete description is as follows:
fig. 10 is a top view of another scattering layer according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10, a plurality of second through holes 201 penetrating through the scattering layer 210 are formed in the scattering layer 210, and an aperture of each second through hole 201 is larger than a wavelength of an electromagnetic wave. The plurality of second through holes 201 are arranged in an array, specifically, the plurality of second through holes 201 are arranged in an array along the X direction and the Y direction on the surface of the scattering layer 210, the second through holes 201 are cylindrical through holes, the plurality of second through holes 201 have the same aperture, and the second through holes 201 are arranged in the same distance along the X direction.
Along the X direction, each second through hole 201 is filled with a different second dielectric material 202, and along the X direction, the refractive index of the second dielectric material 202 filled in each second through hole 201 shows a variation trend of being small in the middle and large on both sides, so that the whole scattering layer 210 shows a variation trend of being low in the middle and high on both sides for the refractive index of the electromagnetic wave in the X direction, thereby realizing the divergence of the electromagnetic wave. Illustratively, iodine crystals, copper oxide, crystal, quartz, polystyrene, sodium chloride, glass, air, glass, sodium chloride, polystyrene, quartz, crystal, copper oxide, iodine crystals are filled in sequence along the X direction. As shown in fig. 10, the filled second dielectric material 202 is shaded in the second through hole 201, and the greater the shading density, the greater the refractive index of the second dielectric material 202.
In this case, the second through holes 201 no longer have a diffraction effect on the electromagnetic waves, and the refractive index of the dielectric material 202 filled in each second through hole 201 in the X direction shows a tendency of small middle and large two sides, so that the refractive index of the electromagnetic wave in the X direction of the whole scattering layer 210 shows a tendency of low middle and high two sides, and when the electromagnetic wave passes through the scattering layer 210, the electromagnetic wave is deflected to the direction with the larger refractive index, thereby realizing the scattering of the electromagnetic wave.
On the basis of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 to fig. 6, the scattering film may further include a first protrusion structure 240, the first protrusion structure 240 is disposed on the impedance gradual change layer 220 on a side away from the scattering layer 210, and the first protrusion structure 240 extends into the protection layer 230, that is, the protection layer 230 covers the first protrusion structure 240. When the electromagnetic wave is emitted through the first protrusion structure 240, diffuse reflection occurs, so that the movement path of the original electromagnetic wave which is only directionally transmitted is changed, and a transmission path in multiple directions is generated through the diffuse reflection, thereby further expanding the divergence range of the electromagnetic wave. For the material for realizing the electromagnetic wave reflection function, the first protrusion structure 240 made of metal is preferably used in the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any material capable of realizing the electromagnetic wave reflection function may be applied to the present invention, and for example, the first protrusion structure 240 made of alloy may be used.
The first protrusion structure 240 extends into the protection layer 230, so as to improve the connection reliability between the impedance gradual change layer 220 and the protection layer 230, and prevent the protection layer 230 and the impedance gradual change layer 220 from peeling off. The height of the first bump structures 240 is smaller than the thickness of the protection layer 230, and the design ensures that the first bump structures 240 extend into the protection layer 230 but not extend out of the protection layer 230, so as to prevent the protection layer 230 from failing. It should be noted that, when the first protruding structure 240 includes a plurality of protruding portions 241 with different heights, the height of the first protruding structure 240 at this time refers to the highest height of all the protruding portions 241. Illustratively, the thickness of the protective layer 230 is 1 μm to 25 μm, and the height of the first bump structure 240 is 0.1 μm to 15 μm.
For example, the first protrusion structure 240 may include a plurality of protrusions 241 to improve a diffuse reflection effect. The distance between adjacent protrusions 241 is smaller than the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, and illustratively, the distance between adjacent protrusions 241 is 0 μm to 500 μm. The adjacent protrusions 241 may be connected to each other or may be spaced apart from each other. The size of the convex portion 241 is not particularly limited in the present invention, and the plurality of convex portions 241 may be the same size or different sizes.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the first protrusion structure 240 may have a variety according to actual needs, and may be a regular or irregular solid geometry, which is not limited herein. In some examples, the first protrusion structures 240 are one or more of pointed, inverted conical, granular, dendritic, columnar, and massive in shape. For example, as shown in the examples of fig. 2-6, the first protruding structure 240 is an irregular curved shape.
In order to facilitate connection of the diffusion film of the present invention with other components, as shown in fig. 2 to 6, the diffusion film may further include a connection layer 250, and the connection layer 250 is disposed on the diffusion layer 210 to cover a side away from the impedance-gradient layer 220. Illustratively, the tie layer 250 is a glue film layer. Through setting up the glued membrane layer, can make the scattering film of this embodiment realize being connected with other parts easily. Illustratively, the material used for the adhesive film layer is selected from any one of the following materials: epoxy resin, modified epoxy resin, acrylic acid, modified rubber, thermoplastic polyimide, modified thermoplastic polyimide, polyurethane, polyacrylate, and silicone.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 to 6, the scattering film may further include a second protrusion structure 260, and the second protrusion structure 260 is disposed on a side of the scattering layer 210 away from the impedance gradual change layer 220. The second protrusion structures 260 extend into the connection layer 250, so that the connection reliability between the scattering layer 210 and the connection layer 250 is improved, and the connection layer 250 and the scattering layer 210 are prevented from being peeled off. The connection layer 250 covers all of the second bump structures 260, and therefore, the height of the second bump structures 260 of the present embodiment is less than or equal to the thickness of the connection layer 250. By the design it is ensured that the second bump structures 260 extend into the connection layer 250, but not out of the connection layer 250. It should be noted that the shapes of the second protrusion structures 260 in fig. 2-6 are merely exemplary, and due to differences in process means and parameters, the shapes of the second protrusion structures 260 are regular or irregular solid geometries, for example, the shapes of the second protrusion structures 260 may be one or more of sharp-angled, inverted-tapered, granular, dendritic, columnar, and massive. The second bump structures 260 in the embodiment of the invention are not limited to the shapes shown in the drawings and described above, and any second bump structures 260 that are advantageous for improving the connection stability between the connection layer 250 and the scattering layer 210 are within the scope of the invention. The shapes of the plurality of second protrusion structures 260 may be the same or different, and the sizes of the second protrusion structures 260 may also be the same or different, that is, the shapes of the plurality of second protrusion structures 260 may be one or more of pointed, inverted conical, granular, dendritic, columnar, and blocky, and the sizes of the plurality of second protrusion structures 260 of the same shape may not be completely the same. In addition, the plurality of second protrusion structures 260 are continuously or discontinuously distributed on the side of the scattering layer 210 close to the connection layer 250, for example, when the plurality of second protrusion structures 260 are in the shape of sharp corners and are continuously distributed, a regular and periodic three-dimensional insection pattern or an irregular and disordered three-dimensional insection pattern can be formed.
It should be noted that the heights of the plurality of second protruding structures 260 may be different, and in this case, the height of the second protruding structure 260 refers to the highest height of all the second protruding structures 260. The outer surface of the connection layer 250 and the surface of the scattering layer 210 may be a flat surface without undulation or a non-flat surface with gentle undulation, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the second bump structures 260 are made of a conductive material, so that during the use of the scattering film, the interference charges accumulated in the scattering layer 210 are led out, thereby preventing the accumulation of the interference charges from forming an interference source. Illustratively, the scattering layer 210 and the second bump structures 260 are integrally formed of the same metal material. When connected to other components, the second bump structures 260 are pressed to pierce the connection layer 250 and to be grounded, so as to conduct out the interference charges accumulated in the diffusion layer 210.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the height of the second bump structures 260 is preferably 0.1 μm to 30 μm, and the thickness of the connection layer 250 is preferably 0.1 μm to 45 μm, so as to ensure that the second bump structures 260 can pierce the connection layer 250 when the diffuser film is used, thereby ensuring that the diffuser film can be grounded.
In order to adapt to more application scenes, the scattering film disclosed by the invention is of a flexible, foldable and bendable structure. Specifically, the scattering film of the present invention can have foldable and bendable properties by using a flexible structure of the scattering layer 210, the impedance gradation layer 220, and the protection layer 230, for example, an FPC board, and the connection layer 250 for connection provided on one surface of the scattering layer 210 has a bendable property. In actual use, the scattering film may be bent or folded into any shape such as a ring structure or a semi-closed structure, for example, an arc structure, an oval structure, or a stacked structure, as required.
