Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a transparent layered element with a diffuse reflection property, this layered element as such, as well as its use in a plurality of applications
- the invention also relates to a projection or rear projection process using such a layered element.
- the layered element can be rigid or flexible. It may in particular be a glazing, for example made from glass or from a polymer material. It can also be a flexible film based on a polymer material, in particular capable of being attached to a surface in order to give it diffuse reflection properties while preserving its transmission properties.
- Known glazing includes standard transparent glazing, which gives rise to a specular transmission and reflection of radiation incident on the glazing, and translucent glazing, which gives rise to diffuse transmission and reflection of radiation. incident on the glazing.
- transmission through a glazing is said to be specular when radiation incident on the glazing with a given angle of incidence is transmitted through the glazing with a transmission angle equal to the angle of incidence.
- a drawback of standard transparent glazing is that they return clear reflections, like mirrors, which is undesirable in certain applications.
- glazing when glazing is used for a building window or display screen, it is preferable to limit the presence of reflections, which reduce visibility through the glazing.
- Clear reflections on glazing can also generate risks of dazzling, with consequences in terms of safety, for example when vehicle headlights are reflected on glazed facades of buildings. This problem arises particularly for glazed facades of airports. It is in fact essential to limit as much as possible the risk of dazzling pilots when approaching the terminals.
- translucent glazing if they have the advantage of not generating clear reflections, however, do not allow a clear vision to be obtained through the glazing.
- this central layer being formed either by a single layer which is a dielectric layer with a refractive index different from that of the outer layers or a metal layer, or by a stack of layers which comprises at the at least one dielectric layer with a refractive index different from that of the outer layers or a metal layer,
- each contact surface between two adjacent layers of the layered element which are one dielectric and the other metallic, or which are two dielectric layers of different refractive indices is textured and parallel to the other textured contact surfaces between two adjacent layers which are one dielectric the other metallic or which are two dielectric layers of different refractive indices.
- the transparent substrate can be made, in particular, of polymer
- the transparent substrate is made of polymer, it can be rigid or flexible.
- a transparent substrate is advantageously provided, on one of its main external surfaces, with a layer of adhesive covered with a protective strip intended to be removed for bonding the film.
- the layered element in the form of a flexible film is then able to be attached by bonding to an existing surface, for example a surface of a glazing, in order to give this surface properties of diffuse reflection, while maintaining properties of specular transmission.
- Each outer layer of the layered element can be formed by a stack of layers, as long as the different constituent layers of the outer layer are made of dielectric materials all having substantially the same index of refraction.
- dielectric material or layer is understood to mean a material or a layer of low electrical conductivity, less than 100 S / m.
- index refers to the optical index of refraction, measured at the wavelength of 550 nm.
- two dielectric materials have substantially the meaning of the invention.
- the absolute value of the difference in refractive index at 550 nm between the constituent materials of the two outer layers of the layered element is less than 0.05, more preferably less than 0.015.
- the contact surface between two adjacent layers is the interface between the two adjacent layers.
- the following definitions are used:
- a transparent element is an element through which there is specular transmission of radiation at least in the wavelength ranges useful for the intended application of the element. For example, when the element is used as a building or vehicle glazing, it is transparent at least in the visible wavelength range.
- a smooth surface is a surface for which the surface irregularities are smaller than the wavelength of the radiation incident on the surface, so that the radiation is not deflected by these surface irregularities.
- the incident radiation is then transmitted and reflected specularly by the surface.
- a textured surface is a surface for which the surface irregularities vary on a scale greater than the wavelength of the radiation incident on the surface. The incident radiation is then transmitted and reflected diffusely by the surface.
- the parallelism of the textured contact surfaces implies that the or each constituent layer of the laminar assembly which is dielectric with a refractive index different from that of the outer layers, or which is metallic, has a uniform thickness perpendicular to the surfaces of contact of the laminar assembly with the outer layers.
- This uniformity of the thickness can be global over the entire extent of the texture, or local over sections of the texture.
- the texture exhibits variations in slope
- the thickness between two consecutive textured contact surfaces may change, by section, as a function of the slope of the texture, the textured contact surfaces however always remaining parallel to each other. This case arises in particular for a layer deposited by cathodic sputtering, where the thickness of the layer is all the smaller as the slope of the texture increases.
- the transparent layered element is considered laid horizontally, with its first face oriented downward defining a lower outer main surface and its second face, opposite to the first face, oriented upward defining a surface main external upper; the meanings of the expressions “above” and “below” are thus to be considered in relation to this orientation.
- the expressions “above” and “below” do not necessarily mean that the two layers are placed in contact with one another.
- the terms “lower” and "upper” are used herein in reference to this positioning.
- the layered element 1 shown in Figure 1 comprises two outer layers 2 and 4, which are made of transparent dielectric materials having substantially the same refractive index n2, n4.
- Each outer layer 2 or 4 has a smooth main surface, respectively 2A or 4A, directed towards the outside of the layered element, and a textured main surface, respectively 2B or 4B, directed towards the inside of the layered element. layers.
- the smooth outer surfaces 2A and 4A of the layered element 1 allow specular transmission of radiation to each surface 2A and 4A, that is to say the entry of radiation into an outer layer or the output of radiation from an outer layer without changing the direction of the radiation.
- the textures of the internal surfaces 2B and 4B are complementary to each other. As clearly visible in FIG. 1, the textured surfaces 2B and 4B are positioned facing each other, in a configuration where their textures are strictly parallel to each other.
- the layered element 1 also comprises a laminar assembly 3, interposed in contact between the textured surfaces 2B and 4B.
- the laminar assembly 3 is formed by a transparent stack of several layers 3 1 , 3 2 , ..., 3 k , where at least one of the layers 3 1 to 3k is either a metallic layer or a dielectric layer with a refractive index different from that of the outer layers 2 and 4.
- each of the two layers 3 1 and 3k located at the ends of the stack is a metal layer or a dielectric layer with a refractive index n3i or n3 k different from that of the outer layers 2 and 4.
- the laminar assembly 3 in contact between the textured surfaces 2B and 4B which are parallel to each other, the contact surface So between the outer layer 2 and the laminar assembly 3 is textured and parallel to the contact surface Si between the laminar assembly 3 and the outer layer 4.
- the laminar assembly 3 is a textured layer having, at least locally, a uniform thickness e3, taken perpendicular to the contact surfaces So and Si.
- each contact surface S 2 , ..., S k between two adjacent layers of the stack constituting the laminar assembly 3 is textured and strictly parallel to the contact surfaces So and If between the outer layers 2, 4 and the laminar assembly 3.
- all the surfaces of contact So, Si ,, S k between adjacent layers of element 1 which are either of different natures, dielectric or metallic, or dielectric with different refractive indices, are textured and parallel to each other.
- each layer 3 1 , 3 2 , ..., 3 k of the constituent stack of the laminar assembly 3 has, at least locally, a uniform thickness b3 ⁇ , b32, ..., e3 k , taken perpendicularly with contact surfaces So, Si, ..., S k.
- each contact surface So, Si or So, Si, ..., S k of the layered element 1 is formed by a plurality of recessed or protruding patterns compared to a general plane p of the contact surface.
- Figure 1 illustrates the path of radiation, which is incident on
- the incident rays Ri arrive perpendicular to the outer layer 2.
- the incident rays Ri when they reach the contact surface So between the layer external 2 and the laminar assembly 3, with a given angle of incidence Q, are reflected either by the metal surface, or due to the difference in refractive index at this contact surface respectively between the external layer 2 and l laminar assembly 3 in the variant of Figure 2 and between the outer layer 2 and the layer 31 in the variant of Figure 3.
- the reflection takes place in a plurality of directions Rr. The reflection of the radiation by the layered element 1 is therefore diffuse.
- the rays Rt transmitted by the layered element are transmitted with a transmission angle Q ' equal to their angle of incidence Q on the layered element.
- the transmission of radiation by the layered element 1 is therefore specular.
- a layered element as described above can be obtained via a manufacturing process comprising the following steps:
- a laminar assembly 3 is deposited S2 on the main textured surface 2B of the lower outer layer 2, i.e. when the laminar assembly 3 is formed by a single layer, which is a dielectric layer with a refractive index different from that of the outer layer 2 or a metal layer, by depositing the laminar assembly 3 in a conformal manner on said main textured surface 2B, that is, when the laminar assembly 3 is formed by a stack of layers (3 1 , 3 2 , ...
- the conformal deposition of the laminar assembly 3, whether it is monolayer or formed by a stack of several layers, should preferably be carried out under vacuum, by cathodic sputtering assisted by magnetic field
- Magnetic cathode sputtering This technique makes it possible in particular to deposit, on the textured surface 2B of the substrate 2, either the single layer of conformally, or the different layers of the stack successively in conformance with the texture. In other words, the implementation of this technique guarantees that the surfaces delimiting the different layers are mutually parallel.
- Glazing incorporating a layered element such as that described above has the particularity of having a uniform appearance over its entire transparent surface with diffuse reflection.
- certain industrial applications require that a particular pattern can emerge by reflection from such a surface, for technical and / or aesthetic considerations.
- the invention relates to a transparent layered element comprising at least a lower outer layer and an upper outer layer which each form a smooth outer major surface of the layered element, and which are made of dielectric materials having substantially the same index of refraction, said layered element being characterized in that:
- said layered element comprises a laminar assembly interposed between the outer layers and formed of a plurality of intermediate layers, each intermediate layer being either a single layer which is a layer
- dielectric with a refractive index different from that of the outer layers or a metal layer i.e. a stack of layers that includes at least one dielectric layer with a different refractive index from that of the outer layers or a metallic layer,
- each contact surface between two adjacent layers of the layered element which are one dielectric and the other metallic, or which are two dielectric layers of different refractive indices, is textured and parallel to the other contact surfaces
- said laminar assembly presents in reflection at least two adjacent zones whose colors are distinct from each other.
- a laminar assembly is by definition formed of a plurality of blades deposited successively on a support.
- the concept of color brings together the three psychosensory parameters involved in establishing its visual appearance, which are brightness, hue and saturation, the latter two parameters being grouped together in the concept of chromaticity.
- these three parameters can achieve all the color sensations imaginable.
- the different systems of description of a color for example the colorimetric spaces of type CIE 1931 or CIELAB 76 or the types of coordinates chosen in each of them, are only different ways of defining the three parameters which describe this color.
- the colors are defined throughout the description according to the CIELAB 76 space (CIE 1976) with mean daylight source (D65), and as standard observer the CIE observer 2 ° as defined by its spectral trichromatic components representing the chromatic response of a standardized observer defined by the CIE in 1931, and using Cartesian coordinates (L *, a *, b *) with L * the clarity
- the Delta E calculated according to the spaces CIELAB 76 (CIE 1976), CIE94, CIEDE 2000 or CMC 1: c (1984), is between 4.0 and 5 , 0, preferably between 2.0 and 4.0, preferentially between 1.0 and 2.0, more preferably between 1.0 and 2.0.
- intermediates (3 1 , 3 2 , ..., 3 K ) are of the same nature but differ in their respective thickness, or their deposition process. As a result of these differences, the zones respectively covered by these layers will present in reflection colors distinct from each other.
- At least one intermediate layer partially covers another intermediate layer, called “base layer”, the corresponding covering portion forming in reflection a distinct color zone d 'at least one adjacent area.
- the notion of "covering” is considered from a front view with respect to one of the main external surfaces and therefore does not imply any particular order of arrangement, the layered element being able to be viewed from one of its main external surfaces, as well as from the other.
- the variations related to such a covering on the thickness, the nature and / or the arrangement of the intermediate layers forming the laminar assembly justify obtaining in this overlap zone a distinct color in reflection from at least one adjacent zone.
- laminar may include a plurality of successive stacks allowing different patterns of different colors to be obtained.
- first and second intermediate layers reflect colors distinct from each other.
- the portion of the first intermediate layer, which forms a through inclusion corresponds to the negative of the second intermediate layer.
- At least one intermediate layer is obtained by spraying
- magnetic cathodic assisted by magnetic field sputtering known as “magnetron cathode”
- magnetic cathode cathodic assisted by magnetic field
- said pattern layer is obtained by screen printing.
- WO2012104547A1 obtaining a parallelism of the different layers between them is made complex, even impossible, in the context of a deposition of the laminar assembly by wet process, by vacuum evaporation, via a chemical phase deposition process steam (CVD) and / or via a sol-gel process.
- CVD chemical phase deposition process steam
- the parallelism of the textured contact surfaces within the layered element is essential to achieve specular transmission through the element.
- the deposition of an intermediate layer by screen printing makes it possible to retain optical properties close to those of laminar assemblies for which this intermediate layer is deposited by magnetron sputtering, both in reflection than in light transmission. Furthermore, the deposition by screen printing has the advantage of being relatively easy to implement, from a technical point of view, in particular in comparison with the deposition by magnetron sputtering.
- said intermediate layer obtained by screen printing is a dense layer obtained by hardening of a sol-gel solution and comprising, after said hardening, preferably grains of at least one metal oxide, preferably of titanium oxide.
- At least one outer layer is absorbent in the visible range.
- Such a layer therefore has a dark color, which allows:
- At least one intermediate layer preferably said base layer, has a zero saturation value.
- a point having a zero saturation value will be gray, white or black, depending on the lightness.
- a zone of zero saturation in transmission has no hue, and therefore has the advantage of not altering the hue of the light rays transmitted from the outside.
- the targeted chromaticity value has a non-zero saturation and therefore corresponds to a particular color to be obtained in transmission and / or in reflection, whether on the basis of technical reasons and / or aesthetic.
- the intermediate layers are all conductive.
- the main function referred to here is the “solar control” function, that is to say having a low energy transmission.
- the solar control function is traditionally obtained with at least one conductive layer (Silver, ITO, TiN, etc.), and then presents a strong reflection in the infrared (800-2500 nm) while preserving transparency in the visible.
- the function can also be obtained with at least one absorbent layer: either over the entire solar spectrum, or only in the infrared (800-2500nm).
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a layered element comprising the following steps:
- each intermediate layer being either a single layer which is a dielectric layer with a refractive index different from that of the external layers or a metallic layer, or a stack of layers which comprises at least one dielectric layer of refractive index different from that of the external layers or a metallic layer, said intermediate layers forming after deposition a laminar assembly which presents in reflection at least two adjacent zones whose colors are distinct ;
- an upper outer layer is formed on the main textured surface of the laminar assembly opposite the lower outer layer, where the lower and upper outer layers are made of dielectric materials having substantially the same refractive index.
- the successive and conformal deposition of a plurality of intermediate layers ensures that each contact surface between two adjacent layers of the layered element which are one
- dielectric and the other metallic, or which are two dielectric layers of different refractive indices, is textured and parallel to the other contact surfaces.
- step b) of depositing the laminar assembly comprises at least:
- pattern layer a second intermediate layer
- this pattern layer partially covers said base layer, and that the corresponding covering portion forms in reflection a color zone distinct from at least one adjacent zone .
- step b) of depositing the laminar assembly comprises at least:
- base layer the deposition of a first intermediate layer called "base layer”, so that it understands a through light
- a second intermediate layer called a "pattern layer”
- this pattern layer forms a through inclusion within said base layer, said first and second intermediate layers having in reflection colors distinct from one another.
- At least one intermediate layer is deposited by magnetron sputtering.
- At least one intermediate layer is deposited by screen printing and comprises:
- a dielectric layer with a refractive index different from that of the outer layers or a metal layer preferably using a doctor blade, a dielectric layer with a refractive index different from that of the outer layers or a metal layer.
- the laminar assembly is formed by depositing, on the main textured surface of the lower outer layer, a layer which is initially present in a viscous state suitable for shaping operations.
- the layer initially deposited in a viscous, liquid or pasty state may be a layer of photocrosslinkable and / or photopolymerizable material.
- this photocrosslinkable and / or photopolymerizable material is in liquid form at room temperature and gives, when it has been irradiated and photocrosslinked and / or photopolymerized, a transparent solid devoid of bubbles or any other irregularity.
- It may in particular be a resin such as those usually used as adhesives, glues or surface coatings. These resins are generally based on monomers / comonomers / prepolymers of epoxy, epoxysilane, acrylate, methacrylate, acrylic acid, acid methacrylic.
- a resin it can be a photo-crosslinkable aqueous gel, such as a polyacrylamide gel.
- the laminar assembly is formed by depositing, on the main textured surface of the lower outer layer, a sol-gel solution preferably comprising a precursor of a titanium oxide, preferably tetraisopropanolate of titanium, then hardening this sol-gel solution.
- the sol-gel process consists, firstly, in preparing a so-called “sol-gel solution” containing precursors which give rise in the presence of water to polymerization reactions.
- sol-gel solution containing precursors which give rise in the presence of water to polymerization reactions.
- the precursors hydrolyze and condense to form a network trapping the solvent.
- These polymerization reactions lead to the formation of more and more condensed species, which lead to colloidal particles forming sols then gels.
- sol-gel solutions in the form of a solution
- colloidal or gel can be easily deposited on the main textured surface of the laminar assembly opposite the first outer layer, conforming to the texture of that surface.
- the specific choice of a sol-gel layer to form the laminar assembly of the layered element makes it possible to precisely adjust its optical index in order to adjust its reflectivity, to add a component giving a colored appearance to the sol-gel layer, to apply the laminar assembly to complex surfaces of various sizes and without requiring heavy equipment, and to obtain homogeneous deposits in surface, composition and thickness.
- the inventors have surprisingly discovered that the specific use of a particular sol-gel layer to form the laminar assembly of the layered element makes it possible to easily prepare transparent diffuse reflection layered elements. of given optical index, with an accuracy of 0.015.
- the sol-gel layer of the invention has, depending on the proportions of the various precursor compounds constituting it, an adjustable refractive index. It is therefore possible to precisely adjust the refractive index so as to adjust its reflectivity.
- the flexible formulation in terms of index of the sol-gel layer of the invention makes it possible to obtain transparent layered elements having a constant quality in terms of optical performance, regardless of the origin of the substrate or the nature of the material. substrate.
- plastic substrates having a significantly higher index as the lower outer layer.
- the proportions of metal oxides originating from the matrix or dispersed in the form of particles are modified.
- metal oxides have a higher refractive index than silica.
- the refractive index of the sol-gel layer is increased.
- the drying temperature of the sol-gel solution is between 0 and 200 ° C, preferably between 100 ° C and 150 ° C, preferably between 110 ° C and 130 ° vs.
- the laminar assembly is deposited using a screen printing screen equipped with a screen, the number of threads of which per cm is between 50 and 150, preferably between 75 and 125 , preferably between 85 and 115, preferably between 90 and 110, preferably between 95 and 105, preferably between 99 and 101, and whose wire diameter in micrometers is between 24 and 72, preferably between 36 and 60, preferably between 42 and 54 , preferably between 45 and 51, preferably between 47 and 49.
- wire diameter specified above allows to deposit a laminar assembly whose thickness allows the laminar assembly once hardened, and more
- the laminar assembly such as
- deposited has a thickness greater than the peak to valley value of the main textured surface of the lower outer layer.
- the thickness defined between the lowest trough and the highest protrusion or peak corresponds to the value called peak to valley ("Peak to valley").
- the thickness of the laminar assembly as deposited is defined from the lowest recess of the main textured surface of the lower outer layer.
- the outer layer is formed
- the manufacturing process comprises a step subsequent to the deposition of the laminar annealing assembly of this laminar assembly at a temperature above 550 ° C, preferably above 600 ° C.
- Such a minimum temperature selection makes it possible to limit the annealing time, and therefore to improve the chemical resistance of the annealed element, while limiting the risks of chromatic evolution of the latter during the step of. annealing.
- the invention also relates to a glazing for a vehicle, for a building, for urban furniture, for interior furnishings, for a display screen, and / or for a Head Up Display system, said glazing comprising such an element in layers, said layer pattern intermediate being adapted to reveal a given pattern in reflection and / or transmission.
- the glazing according to the invention is capable of being used for all
- glazing such as for vehicles, buildings, street furniture, interior furnishings, lighting, display screens, etc. It can also be a flexible film based on a polymer material, in particular capable of being attached to a surface in order to give it diffuse reflection properties while preserving its transmission properties.
- the highly diffuse reflection layered element of the invention can be used in a so-called head-up display (HUD) system.
- HUD head-up display
- HUD is understood to mean a system making it possible to display information projected onto a window, in general the windshield of the vehicle, which is reflected towards the driver or the observer.
- Such HUD systems are particularly useful in airplane cockpits, trains, but also today in private vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.). These systems make it possible to inform the driver of the vehicle without taking his gaze away from the field of vision in front of the vehicle, which greatly increases safety.
- an actual image is formed at the screen level (and not at the road level). The driver must therefore "refocus” his gaze on the windshield to read the information.
- a virtual image is obtained by projecting the information onto a glazing (in particular a windshield) having a laminated wedge structure formed of two sheets of glass and a plastic insert.
- a drawback of these existing systems is that the driver then observes a double image, a first image reflected by the surface of the glazing oriented towards the interior of the passenger compartment and a second image by reflection of the exterior surface of the glazing, these two images being slightly offset from one another. This mismatch can disrupt the view of information.
- the invention overcomes this problem. Indeed, when the layered element is integrated into a HUD system, as glazing or as a flexible film attached to the main surface of the glazing which receives the radiation from the projection source, the reflection diffuses onto the first surface.
- the textured contact rate encountered by the radiation in the layered member may be significantly higher than the reflection on the outer surfaces in contact with air. Thus, double reflection is limited by promoting reflection on the first textured contact surface of the layered element.
- the invention also relates to a method of projection or
- rear projection according to which such glazing is available used as a projection or rear projection screen and a projector, said method consisting in projecting images visible by spectators on one side of said glazing by means of the projector.
- the transparent layered element has:
- the thickness of the lower outer layer is preferably between 1 ⁇ m and 12 mm and varies depending on the choice of dielectric material.
- At least one outer layer is a glass textured on one side only and has a thickness between 0.4 and 10 mm, preferably between 0.7 and 4 mm.
- At least one outer layer is made of a polymer textured on one side, for example a plastic film, and has a thickness between 0.020 and 2.000 mm, preferably between 0.025 and 0.500 mm.
- At least one outer layer consists of a thermoplastic interlayer, preferably of
- PVB polyvinyl butyral
- At least one outer layer consists of a layer of dielectric materials and has a thickness between 0.2 and 20 ⁇ m, preferably between 0.5 and 2 ⁇ m.
- photocrosslinkable and / or photopolymerizable materials which have a thickness between 0.5 and 20 ⁇ m, preferably between 0.7 and 10 ⁇ m.
- each outer layer of the layered element is formed from a stack of sublayers made up of materials all having substantially the same optical index.
- the interface between these sublayers can be either smooth or textured.
- the choice of the thickness of the laminar assembly depends on a certain number of parameters. In general, it is considered that the total thickness of the laminar assembly is between 5 and 200 nm and the thickness of an intermediate layer of the laminar assembly is between 1 and 200 nm.
- the laminar assembly is a metal layer the thickness of which is between 5 and 40 nm, preferably between 6 and 30 nm and more preferably between 6 and 20 nm.
- the laminar assembly is a dielectric layer, for example of TiO 2, and has a thickness of between 20 and 100 nm, and more preferably between 45 and 75 nm and / or a refractive index between 2.2 and 2.4.
- the layers of sol-gel nature are deposited by a screen printing process and have a thickness before annealing / in the liquid state of between 0.5 and 50 ⁇ m, preferably between 5 and 25 ⁇ m, preferably between 10 and 15 ⁇ m.
- the laminar assembly is deposited on only a portion of the main textured surface of the lower outer layer.
- the base and pattern layers are therefore only applied to this portion of the lower outer layer.
- the smooth external main surfaces of the layered element and / or the smooth external main surfaces of the glazing are flat or curved and preferably these smooth external main surfaces are mutually parallel. This helps to limit light scattering for radiation passing through the layered element, and therefore improves the sharpness of vision through the layered element.

- each intermediate layer (3 1 , 3 2 , ..., 3 K ) being either a single layer which is a dielectric layer with a refractive index (n3) different from that of the outer layers or a metallic layer, or a stack of layers (3 1 , 3 2 , ...,
- 3 k which comprises at least one dielectric layer of refractive index different from that of the outer layers or a metallic layer, said intermediate layers (3 1 , 3 2 , ..., 3 K ) forming after deposition a laminar assembly (3) which presents in reflection at least two adjacent zones (A, B 7) whose colors are distinct;
- an upper outer layer (4) is formed on the main textured surface (3B) of the laminar assembly (3) opposite to the lower outer layer (2), where the lower (2) and upper (4) outer layers are made of dielectric materials having substantially the same refractive index.
- outer layer of the layered element include:
- outer layers include dielectric thin layers, chosen from oxides, nitrides or halides of one or more transition metals, non-metals or alkaline earth metals, in particular layers of Si3N4, Sn02, ZnO, Zr02, SnZnOx, AIN, NbO, NbN, Ti02, Si02, Al203, MgF2, AIF3, or metallic thin layers, including layers of silver, gold, copper, titanium, niobium, silicon, aluminum, alloy nickel-chromium (NiCr), stainless steel, or alloys of these metals.
- dielectric thin layers chosen from oxides, nitrides or halides of one or more transition metals, non-metals or alkaline earth metals, in particular layers of Si3N4, Sn02, ZnO, Zr02, SnZnOx, AIN, NbO, NbN, Ti02, Si02, Al203, MgF2, AIF3, or metallic thin layers, including layers of silver, gold, copper, titanium
- the texturing of one of the main surfaces of the outer layers can be obtained by any known texturing process, for example by embossing the surface of the substrate previously heated to a temperature at which it is possible to deform it, in particular by rolling by means of a roller having on its surface a texturing complementary to the texturing to be formed on the substrate; by abrasion by means of abrasive particles or surfaces, in particular by sandblasting; by chemical treatment, in particular acid treatment in the case of a glass substrate; by molding, in particular injection molding in the case of a thermoplastic polymer substrate; by engraving.
- the patterns of the texture of each contact surface between two adjacent layers of the layered element which are one dielectric and the other metallic, or which are two dielectric layers of different refractive indices, can be distributed randomly on the contact surface.
- the texture patterns of each contact surface between two adjacent layers of the layered element which are one dielectric and the other metallic, or which are two dielectric layers of different refractive indices can be distributed periodically over the contact surface.
- These patterns can be, in particular, cones, pyramids, grooves, ribs, wavelets.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a particular embodiment of the invention, in
- the layered element (1) comprises a laminar assembly (3) interposed between the outer layers (2, 4) and formed of 4 (four) intermediate layers (3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 and 3 k ), each intermediate layer being in the present case a single dielectric layer of refractive index different from that of the outer layers, the contact surfaces of the intermediate layers (3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 and 3 k ) and of the outer layers ( 2, 4) being all textured and parallel to each other in order to exhibit satisfactory properties of transparency and diffuse reflection.
- the laminar assembly (3) shown in section in FIG. 5 is divided into 6 (six) zones (A, ..., F), each zone having in reflection a color distinct from that of the zones. adjacent.
- the laminar assembly (3) in reflection are dictated by the nature and the thickness of the intermediate layers 3 1 and 3 2 . It should be noted in this connection that the zones A and D present in reflection the same color, although these two zones are not adjacent. Zone C is a covering portion of the layers
- zone B presents in reflection a color different from that of the adjacent zones B and D. It should also be noted that this zone C presents a different color in reflection depending on whether it is observed from above the element in layer 1, or from below.
- zone F is characterized by the overlap of intermediate layers 3 1 and 3 3
- zone E is characterized by the overlap of layers 3 1 , 3 3 and 3 k .
- the 4 (four) intermediate layers (3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 and 3 K ) are all of the same nature. If the thicknesses differ from one intermediate layer (3 1 , 3 2 , 3 3 and 3 K ) to another, each zone therefore has a different color in reflection. On the other hand, if the thicknesses of the intermediate layers are identical, a first color is obtained in zones A, B and D, a second color in zones B and F, and a third color in zone E.
- the laminar assembly (3) is deposited on only a portion of the main textured surface of the lower outer layer (2).
- the base and pattern layers are therefore only applied to this portion of the lower outer layer.
- the light transmission ratio is increased.
- the layered element exhibits a higher transmittance.
- the laminar assembly (3) is deposited over the entire textured main surface of the lower outer layer (2).
- two deposition passes are
