Description

  The present invention relates to an optical body and a manufacturing method thereof, a window material, a joinery, and a solar radiation shielding device. Specifically, the present invention relates to an optical body that selectively transmits light in a specific wavelength band, while transmitting light other than the specific wavelength band, or an optical body that directs and reflects light.

  In recent years, cases in which a layer that absorbs or reflects a part of sunlight is provided on architectural glass or car window glass such as high-rise buildings and houses are increasing. This is one of the energy-saving measures for the purpose of preventing global warming, and the purpose is to reduce the load of the cooling equipment as the light energy poured from the sun enters the window indoors and the indoor temperature rises. Yes. The light energy poured from sunlight occupies a large proportion of the visible region having a wavelength of 380 to 780 nm and the near infrared region having a wavelength of 780 to 2100 nm. Among these, the transmittance of the window in the latter wavelength region is irrelevant to human visibility, and is therefore an important factor that affects the performance as a highly transparent and highly heat-shielding window.

  As a method of shielding near infrared rays while maintaining transparency in the visible region, a method of providing a layer having a high reflectance in the near infrared region on the window glass and a layer having a high absorption factor in the near infrared region are used. There is a method of providing the glass.

  As for the former method, many techniques using an optical multilayer film, a metal-containing film, a transparent conductive film and the like as a reflective layer have already been disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1). However, since such a reflective layer is provided on a flat window glass, it can only regularly reflect incident sunlight. For this reason, the light irradiated from the sky and specularly reflected reaches another outdoor building or the ground, is absorbed, changes to heat, and raises the ambient temperature. As a result, in the vicinity of buildings where such a reflective layer is applied to the entire window, there are problems such as local temperature rises and heat islands being increased in urban areas, and lawns not growing only on the surface irradiated with reflected light. Has occurred.

  Many techniques using an organic dye film have been disclosed as the latter method (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 to 4). However, if such a dye film is pasted on the window glass, the light absorbed on the window surface is changed to heat, and part of it is transmitted indoors as radiant heat. There is a problem that the glass breaks due to thermal stress. Another problem is that it is difficult to use in high-rise buildings where the dye film has low weather resistance and cannot be frequently replaced.

  In recent years, a technique for providing a window glass with a layer that simultaneously shields not only infrared light but also visible light has been proposed. As such a technique, a metal semi-permeable membrane is known. However, since such a semi-permeable membrane is also provided on a flat window glass, it reaches another outdoor building or the ground, and is absorbed and converted to heat, raising the ambient temperature, as in the above-described technique. There's a problem.

  Furthermore, in recent years, it has been studied to add a function of reflecting sunlight to an outer wall material such as a high-rise structure building or a residence. The ambient temperature will increase.

  Accordingly, the first object of the present invention is to selectively direct and reflect light in a specific wavelength band, while transmitting an optical body that can transmit light other than the specific wavelength band, a manufacturing method thereof, a window material, It is to provide a joinery and a solar shading device.

  In addition, a second object of the present invention is to provide an optical body that directs and reflects light, a method for manufacturing the same, a window member, a fitting, and a solar radiation shielding device.

As a result of intensive investigations aimed at solving the above-described problems of the prior art, the present inventors have made the following invention. That is, the inventors have invented an optical body including an optical layer having an incident surface on which light is incident and a reflective film such as a wavelength selective reflection film or a semi-transmissive film formed in the optical layer. In this optical body, the optical layer that embeds the reflective film is formed of a resin material such as urethane acrylate. The surface of this optical layer may be bonded to an adherend such as glass via an adhesive. In this way, when an optical body is bonded to an adherend such as glass, a method of applying water to the surface of the adherend such as glass is used to reduce the occurrence of wrinkles on the optical body. May be. However, when the optical body having the above-described configuration is bonded to the adherend in this way, water diffuses from the optical layer surface over a long period of use, such as a metal contained in the reflective film. There is a risk of deterioration. Therefore, the present inventors have conducted extensive studies to suppress such deterioration of the reflective film, and have found the following invention. That is, the optical layer of the optical body has a laminated structure including at least a resin layer that embeds a reflection film and a base material formed on the resin layer, and the water vapor transmission rate of the base material is lower than that of the resin layer. It came to find the invention to set.
The present invention has been devised based on the above studies.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the first invention

A wavelength selective reflection film formed in the optical layer,
The wavelength selective reflection film selectively transmits light in a specific wavelength band while transmitting light other than the specific wavelength band.
The optical layer is

At least one of the first optical layer and the second optical layer is
A substrate;
A resin layer formed between the base material and the wavelength selective reflection film,
The substrate is an optical body having a water vapor transmission rate lower than that of the resin layer.

The second invention is

Forming a wavelength selective reflection film on the first optical layer;
Forming a second optical layer on the wavelength selective reflection film,
The step of forming the second optical layer includes
A step of superimposing an uneven surface of the first optical layer on the uneven surface and a substrate having ionizing ray permeability with an ionizing ray curable resin interposed therebetween;
Irradiating the ionizing radiation curable resin with ionizing radiation from the substrate side and curing the ionizing radiation curable resin,
The uneven surface of the first optical layer is provided with an inclined plane or curved surface with an inclination angle of 45 ° or more,
The substrate is a method for producing an optical body having a water vapor transmission rate lower than that of a cured ionizing radiation curable resin.

  In the present invention, the first optical layer and the second optical layer are formed on both main surfaces of the reflective film, respectively. Then, at least one of the first optical layer and the second optical layer is formed of a base material and a resin layer formed between the base material and the reflective film, and the water vapor transmission rate of the base material is higher than that of the resin layer. Is also low. Thereby, the diffusion of moisture from the surface of the first optical layer or the second optical layer to the reflection film can be suppressed. Therefore, deterioration of the reflective film can be suppressed.

  In the present invention, when a wavelength selective reflection film is used as the reflection film, light in a specific wavelength band is directionally reflected and excluded from entering a predetermined space, and light other than the specific wavelength band is taken into the predetermined space. I can. Further, the reflected light intensity in a specific direction other than the regular reflection is stronger than the regular reflected light intensity, and can be sufficiently higher than the diffuse reflection intensity having no directivity.

  In the present invention, when a semi-transmissive film is formed as a reflective film, it is possible to shield solar radiation including visible light while suppressing glare and reflection. Further, by embedding the uneven surface of the first optical layer on which the semi-transmissive film is formed by the second optical layer, it is possible to clearly see the transmitted image.

  As described above, light can be directionally reflected. In addition, when a wavelength selective reflection film is used as the reflection film, light in a specific wavelength band is selectively directional reflected, whereas light outside the specific wavelength band can be selectively transmitted.

<1. First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a directional reflector according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the directional reflector 1 includes an optical layer 2 and a wavelength selective reflection film 3 formed inside the optical layer 2. The optical layer 2 includes a first optical layer 4 formed on the first main surface of the wavelength selective reflection film 3 and a second optical layer formed on the second main surface of the wavelength selective reflection film 3. 5. The directional reflector 1 has an incident surface S1 on which light such as sunlight is incident, and an output surface S2 from which light transmitted through the optical layer 2 is emitted from the incident surface S1. The incident surface S1 of the optical layer 2 is preferably smooth. This is because the transmitted image definition described later can be further improved.

  The directional reflector 1 has transparency. As transparency, it is preferable that it has the range of the transmitted image clarity mentioned later. The refractive index difference between the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 is preferably 0.010 or less, more preferably 0.008 or less, and still more preferably 0.005 or less. If the refractive index difference exceeds 0.010, the transmitted image tends to appear blurred. If it is in the range of more than 0.008 and not more than 0.010, there is no problem in daily life although it depends on the external brightness. If it is in the range of more than 0.005 and less than or equal to 0.008, the diffraction pattern is worrisome only for a very bright object such as a light source, but the outside scenery can be clearly seen. If it is 0.005 or less, the diffraction pattern is hardly a concern. Of the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5, the optical layer on the side bonded to the window material 10 or the like may contain an adhesive as a main component. By setting it as such a structure, the directional reflector 1 can be bonded together to the window material 10 etc. with the optical layer which has an adhesive material as a main component. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the second optical layer 5 includes an adhesive as a main component, and the directional reflector 1 is bonded to the window material 10 or the like by the second optical layer 5. In addition, when setting it as such a structure, it is preferable that the refractive index difference of an adhesive is in the said range.

  It is preferable that the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 have the same optical characteristics such as refractive index. More specifically, the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 are preferably made of the same material having transparency in the visible region, for example, the same resin material. By configuring the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 with the same material, the refractive indexes of both are equal, and thus the transparency of visible light can be improved. However, it should be noted that even if the same material is used as a starting source, the refractive index of the film finally produced may differ depending on the curing conditions in the film forming process. On the other hand, if the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 are made of different materials, the refractive indexes of the two are different, so that the light is refracted at the wavelength selective reflection film 3 and the transmitted image is There is a tendency to blur. In particular, when observing an object close to a point light source such as a distant electric lamp, there is a problem that the diffraction pattern is remarkably observed.

  It is preferable that the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 have transparency in the visible region. Here, the definition of transparency has two kinds of meanings: no light absorption and no light scattering. In general, when the term “transparent” is used, only the former may be indicated. In the present invention, it is necessary to provide both. The retroreflectors currently used are intended for visually recognizing display reflected light such as road signs and clothes for night workers. For example, even if they have scattering properties, they are in close contact with the underlying reflector. If so, the reflected light could be visually recognized. For example, even if an anti-glare process having a scattering property is applied to the front surface of the image display device for the purpose of imparting anti-glare properties, the same principle is that an image can be visually recognized. However, the directional reflector 1 according to the present invention is characterized in that it transmits light other than a specific wavelength that is directionally reflected. The directional reflector 1 is bonded to a transmissive body that mainly transmits the transmitted wavelength, and the transmitted light. Therefore, it is necessary to observe that there is no light scattering. However, depending on the application, the second optical layer 5 can be intentionally provided with scattering properties.

  The directional reflector 1 is preferably used by being bonded to a rigid body mainly having transparency with respect to the transmitted light having a wavelength other than the specific wavelength, for example, the window material 10 via an adhesive or the like. Examples of the window material 10 include window materials for buildings such as high-rise buildings and houses, and window materials for vehicles. When the directional reflector 1 is applied to a building window material, the directional reflector 1 is applied to the window material 10 that is disposed in any direction between the east, south, and west direction (for example, southeast to southwest direction). Is preferred. It is because a heat ray can be reflected more effectively by applying to the window material 10 in such a position. The directional reflector 1 can be used not only for a single-layer window glass but also for a special glass such as a multi-layer glass. Moreover, the window material 10 is not limited to what consists of glass, You may use what consists of a polymeric material which has transparency. It is preferable that the optical layer 2 has transparency in the visible region. This is because by having transparency in this way, when the optical body is bonded to the window material 10 such as a window glass, visible light can be transmitted and daylighting by sunlight can be secured. Moreover, as a bonding surface, it can be used not only on the outer surface of glass but also on the inner surface. Thus, when using for an inner surface, it is necessary to match the front and back of the unevenness | corrugation of the structure 11, and an in-plane direction so that a directional reflection direction may turn into the target direction.

  From the viewpoint of enabling the directional reflector 1 to be easily bonded to the window member 10, the directional reflector 1 preferably has flexibility. Examples of the shape of the directional reflector 1 include a film shape, a sheet shape, a plate shape, and a block shape, but are not particularly limited to these shapes.

  Moreover, the directional reflector 1 can be used in combination with another heat ray cut film. For example, a light absorbing coating film can be provided at the interface between the air and the optical layer 2. The directional reflector 1 can be used in combination with a hard coat layer, an ultraviolet cut layer, a surface antireflection layer, or the like. When these functional layers are used in combination, it is preferable to provide these functional layers at the interface between the directional reflector 1 and the air. However, since it is necessary to arrange | position the ultraviolet-ray cut layer in the sun side rather than the directional reflector 1, especially when using it for an internal application to the window glass surface indoors and outdoors, this window glass surface and the directional reflector 1 It is desirable to provide an ultraviolet cut layer between them. In this case, an ultraviolet absorber may be kneaded in the adhesive layer between the window glass surface and the directional reflector 1.

  Moreover, according to the use of the directional reflector 1, you may make it color the directional reflector 1 and provide designability. Thus, when designability is imparted, at least one of the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 mainly absorbs light in a specific wavelength band in the visible region as long as transparency is not impaired. It is preferable to do.

  In addition, a layer having water repellency or hydrophilicity may be further provided from the viewpoint of imparting antifouling property to the incident surface S1 or the exit surface S2 of the directional reflector 1. The layer having such a function is, for example, directly formed on the first optical layer 4 or the second optical layer 5 or on various functional layers such as a hard coat layer formed on these optical layers. Formed.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a relationship between incident light incident on the directional reflector 1 and reflected light reflected by the directional reflector 1. The directional reflector 1 has an incident surface S1 on which the light L is incident. The directional reflector 1 selectively directs light L ₁ in a specific wavelength band in a direction other than regular reflection (−θ, φ + 180 °) among the light L incident on the incident surface S1 at an incident angle (θ, φ). While reflecting, it transmits light L ₂ other than the specific wavelength band. The directional reflector 1 is transparent to light other than the specific wavelength band. As transparency, it is preferable that it has the range of the transmitted image clarity mentioned later. Where θ is an angle formed between the perpendicular l ₁ to the incident surface S1 and the incident light L or the reflected light L ₁ . φ: An angle formed between a specific straight line l ₂ in the incident surface S1 and a component obtained by projecting the incident light L or the reflected light L ₁ onto the incident surface S1. Here, the specific straight line l ₂ in the incident surface is when the incident angle (θ, φ) is fixed and the directional reflector 1 is rotated about the perpendicular l ₁ with respect to the incident surface S ₁ of the directional reflector 1. , The axis that maximizes the reflection intensity in the φ direction (see FIGS. 3 and 4). However, when there are a plurality of axes (directions) at which the reflection intensity is maximum, one of them is selected as the straight line l ₂ . The angle θ rotated clockwise with respect to the perpendicular l ₁ is defined as “+ θ”, and the angle θ rotated counterclockwise is defined as “−θ”. The angle φ rotated clockwise with respect to the straight line l ₂ is defined as “+ φ”, and the angle φ rotated counterclockwise is defined as “−φ”.

  The light of a specific wavelength band that selectively and directionally reflects and the specific light that is transmitted vary depending on the application of the directional reflector 1. For example, when the directional reflector 1 is applied to the window member 10, the light in a specific wavelength band that is selectively directionally reflected is near-infrared light, and the light in the specific wavelength band that is transmitted is visible light. It is preferable. Specifically, it is preferable that light in a specific wavelength band that is selectively directionally reflected is mainly near-infrared light having a wavelength band of 780 nm to 2100 nm. By reflecting near infrared rays, when an optical body is bonded to a window material such as a glass window, an increase in temperature in the building can be suppressed. Therefore, cooling addition can be reduced and energy saving can be achieved. Here, the directional reflection means that the reflection has a reflection in a specific direction other than the regular reflection and is sufficiently stronger than the diffuse reflection intensity having no directivity. Here, “reflecting” means that the reflectance in a specific wavelength band, for example, near infrared region is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 50% or more, and further preferably 80% or more. Transmitting means that the transmittance in a specific wavelength band, for example, in the visible light region is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 50% or more, and further preferably 70% or more.

  The direction φo for directional reflection is preferably −90 ° or more and 90 ° or less. This is because, when the directional reflector 1 is pasted on the window member 10, light in a specific wavelength band among light incident from the sky can be returned to the sky direction. When there are no tall buildings in the vicinity, the directional reflector 1 in this range is useful. Further, the direction of directional reflection is preferably in the vicinity of (θ, −φ). The vicinity means a deviation within a range of preferably within 5 degrees from (θ, −φ), more preferably within 3 degrees, and even more preferably within 2 degrees. By making this range, when the directional reflector 1 is pasted on the window member 10, among the light incident from above the buildings with the same height, the light of a specific wavelength band is efficiently introduced above other buildings. It is because it can return well. In order to realize such directional reflection, it is preferable to use a three-dimensional structure such as a spherical surface, a part of a hyperboloid, a triangular pyramid, a quadrangular pyramid, or a cone. The light incident from the (θ, φ) direction (−90 ° <φ <90 °) is based on the shape (θo, φo) direction (0 ° <θo <90 °, −90 ° <φo <90 °). ) Can be reflected. Alternatively, a columnar body extending in one direction is preferable. Light incident from the (θ, φ) direction (−90 ° <φ <90 °) is reflected in the (θo, −φ) direction (0 ° <θo <90 °) based on the inclination angle of the columnar body. Can do.

  Directional reflection of the light of the specific wavelength body is in the vicinity of retroreflection, that is, the reflection direction of the light of the specific wavelength body is near (θ, φ) with respect to the light incident on the incident surface S1 at the incident angle (θ, φ). It is preferable that This is because, when the directional reflector 1 is pasted on the window member 10, the light in the specific wavelength band can be returned to the sky among the light incident from the sky. Here, the vicinity is preferably within 5 degrees, more preferably within 3 degrees, and further preferably within 2 degrees. This is because, when the directional reflector 1 is pasted on the window member 10 within this range, light in a specific wavelength band out of light incident from above can be efficiently returned to the sky. In addition, when the infrared light irradiation part and the light receiving part are adjacent to each other as in an infrared sensor or infrared imaging, the retroreflection direction must be equal to the incident direction, but sensing from a specific direction as in the present invention. If it is not necessary to do so, it is not necessary to have the exact same direction.

  With respect to the transmitted image definition for a wavelength band having transparency, the value when an optical comb of 0.5 mm is used is preferably 50 or more, more preferably 60 or more, and even more preferably 75 or more. If the value of the transmitted image definition is less than 50, the transmitted image tends to appear blurred. If it is 50 or more and less than 60, it depends on the brightness of the outside, but there is no problem in daily life. If it is 60 or more and less than 75, only the very bright object such as a light source is concerned about the diffraction pattern, but the outside scenery can be clearly seen. If it is 75 or more, the diffraction pattern is hardly a concern. Furthermore, the total value of transmitted image sharpness values measured using optical combs of 0.125 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 2.0 mm is preferably 230 or more, more preferably 270 or more, and even more preferably 350. That's it. When the total value of the transmitted image definition is less than 230, the transmitted image tends to appear blurred. If it is 230 or more and less than 270, it depends on the external brightness, but there is no problem in daily life. If it is 270 or more and less than 350, the diffraction pattern is worrisome only for a very bright object such as a light source, but the outside scenery can be clearly seen. If it is 350 or more, the diffraction pattern is hardly a concern. Here, the value of transmitted image definition is measured according to JIS K7105 using ICM-1T manufactured by Suga Test Instruments. However, when the wavelength to be transmitted is different from the wavelength of the D65 light source, it is preferable to perform measurement after calibrating with a filter having a wavelength to be transmitted.

The haze with respect to the wavelength band having transparency is preferably 6% or less, more preferably 4% or less, and still more preferably 2% or less. This is because if the haze exceeds 6%, the transmitted light is scattered and it looks cloudy. Here, haze is measured by a measuring method defined in JIS K7136 using HM-150 made by Murakami Color. However, when the wavelength to be transmitted is different from the wavelength of the D65 light source, it is preferable to perform measurement after calibrating with a filter having a wavelength to be transmitted. The incident surface S1, preferably the incident surface S1 and the exit surface S2 of the directional reflector 1 have smoothness that does not reduce the transmitted image definition. Specifically, the arithmetic average roughness Ra of the entrance surface S1 and the exit surface S2 is preferably 0.08 μm or less, more preferably 0.06 μm or less, and even more preferably 0.04 μm or less. The arithmetic average roughness Ra is calculated as a roughness parameter by measuring the surface roughness of the incident surface, obtaining a roughness curve from a two-dimensional sectional curve. Measurement conditions are based on JIS B0601: 2001. The measurement apparatus and measurement conditions are shown below.

λc = 0.8mm, evaluation length 4mm, cutoff x5 times Data sampling interval 0.5μm

  The transmitted color of the directional reflector 1 is as close to neutral as possible, and a light color tone such as blue, blue-green, or green that gives a cool impression even if colored is preferable. From the viewpoint of obtaining such a color tone, the chromaticity coordinates x and y of the transmitted light and the reflected light that are incident from the incident surface S1, transmitted through the optical layer 2 and the reflective layer 3, and emitted from the output surface S2 are, for example, For irradiation with a D65 light source, preferably 0.20 <x <0.35 and 0.20 <y <0.40, more preferably 0.25 <x <0.32 and 0.25 <y. It is desirable to satisfy the range of <0.37, more preferably 0.30 <x <0.32 and 0.30 <y <0.35. Furthermore, in order for the color tone not to be reddish, it is preferable that y> x−0.02, more preferably y> x. Further, if the reflection color tone changes depending on the incident angle, for example, when applied to a building window, the color tone varies depending on the location or the color appears to change when walking, which is not preferable. From the viewpoint of suppressing such a change in color tone, the color coordinate x of the specularly reflected light that is incident from the incident surface S1 or the exit surface S2 at an incident angle θ of 5 ° to 60 ° and reflected by the directional reflector 1. The absolute value of the difference in color and the absolute value of the difference in color coordinate y are preferably 0.05 or less, more preferably 0.03 or less, and even more preferably 0. 01 or less. It is desirable that the limitation of the numerical range regarding the color coordinates x and y with respect to the reflected light is satisfied on both the incident surface S1 and the exit surface S2.

  In order to suppress a color change in the vicinity of regular reflection, it is desirable that a plane having an inclination angle of preferably 5 ° or less, more preferably 10 ° or less is not included. Further, when the wavelength selective reflection film 3 is covered with a resin, the incident light is refracted when entering the resin from the air, so that a change in color tone in the vicinity of the regular reflection light can be suppressed in a wider incident angle range. I can do it. In addition, when the reflection color other than regular reflection becomes a problem, it is preferable to arrange the directional reflector 1 so that directional reflection does not occur in the problematic direction.

(First optical layer)
The first optical layer 4 is, for example, a support for supporting the wavelength selective reflection film 3. The first optical layer 4 also improves the transmitted image definition and the total light transmittance, and also protects the wavelength selective reflection film 3. The first optical layer 4 has, for example, a film shape, a sheet shape, a plate shape, or a block shape. From the viewpoint of enabling the directional reflector 1 to be easily bonded to the window member 10, the first optical layer 4 is preferably in the form of a film or a sheet. As a material for the first optical layer 4, for example, a thermoplastic resin such as polycarbonate, an ionizing radiation curable resin such as acrylic, or the like can be used.

Further, from the viewpoint of imparting design properties to the directional reflector 1, the window material 10, and the like, it is preferable that the first optical layer 4 has a characteristic of absorbing light in a specific wavelength band in the visible region. The pigment dispersed in the resin may be either an organic pigment or an inorganic pigment, but it is particularly preferable to use an inorganic pigment having high weather resistance. Specifically, zircon gray (Co, Ni-doped ZrSiO ₄ ), praseodymium yellow (Pr-doped ZrSiO ₄ ), chrome titanium yellow (Cr, Sb-doped TiO ₂ or Cr, W-doped TiO ₂ ), chrome green (Cr ₂ O ₃ ), peacock blue ((CoZn) O (AlCr) ₂ O ₃ ), Victoria Green ((Al, Cr) ₂ O ₃ ), bitumen (CoO · Al ₂ O ₃ · SiO ₂ ), vanadium zirconium blue (V Inorganic pigments such as doped ZrSiO ₄ ), chrome tin pink (Cr doped CaO · SnO ₂ · SiO ₂ ), porcelain red (Mn doped Al ₂ O ₃ ), salmon pink (Fe doped ZrSiO ₄ ), azo pigments and phthalocyanine series Examples thereof include organic pigments such as pigments.

  The first optical layer 4 includes, for example, a plurality of structures 11 arranged one-dimensionally on the surface on which the wavelength selective reflection film 3 is formed. The pitch P of the structures 11 is preferably 5 μm or more and 5 mm or less, more preferably 5 μm or more and less than 250 μm, and still more preferably 20 μm or more and 200 μm or less. If the pitch of the structures 11 is less than 5 μm, it is difficult to make the shape of the structures 11 as desired, and it is generally difficult to make the wavelength selective characteristics of the wavelength selective reflection film 3 steep. Therefore, part of the transmission wavelength may be reflected. When such reflection occurs, diffraction occurs and even higher-order reflection is visually recognized, so that the transparency tends to be felt poorly. On the other hand, when the pitch of the structures 11 exceeds 5 mm, when considering the shape of the structures 11 necessary for directional reflection, the necessary film thickness increases and flexibility is lost, and the structure 11 is bonded to a rigid body such as the window material 10. It becomes difficult. Therefore, from the viewpoint of ensuring flexibility, the pitch of the structures 11 is preferably 5 mm or less. Further, by setting the pitch of the structures 11 to less than 250 μm, flexibility is further increased, roll-to-roll manufacturing is facilitated, and batch production is not required. In order to apply the directional reflector 1 to a building material such as a window, it is preferable that the directional reflector 1 has a length of about several meters, in order to manufacture the directional reflector 1 having such a length. For this reason, roll-to-roll production is more suitable than batch production. Further, when the pitch is 20 μm or more and 200 μm or less, the productivity is further improved.

  Further, the shape of the structure 11 formed on the surface of the first optical layer 4 is not limited to one type, and a plurality of types of structures 11 are formed on the surface of the first optical layer 4. You may do it. When a plurality of types of structures 11 are provided on the surface, a predetermined pattern composed of a plurality of types of structures 11 may be periodically repeated. Further, depending on desired characteristics, a plurality of types of structures 11 may be formed randomly (non-periodically).

  3A to 3C are perspective views illustrating examples of the shape of the structure formed in the first optical layer. The structure 11 is a columnar convex portion extending in one direction, and the columnar structures 11 are arranged one-dimensionally in one direction. Since the wavelength selective reflection film 3 is formed on the structure 11, the shape of the wavelength selective reflection film 3 has the same shape as the surface shape of the structure 11.

  As the shape of the structure 11, for example, the prism shape shown in FIG. 3A, the shape shown in FIG. 3B with a rounded top of the prism shape, the lenticular shape such as the cylindrical shape shown in FIG. Can be mentioned. Here, the lenticular shape means that the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the ridge line of the convex portion is an arc shape or a substantially arc shape, an elliptic arc shape or a substantially elliptic arc shape, or a part of a parabolic shape or a substantially parabolic shape. Therefore, a cylindrical shape is also included in the lenticular shape. As shown in FIG. 3B, the ridge portion may have R, and the ratio R / P of the curvature radius R and the pitch P of the structure 11 is preferably 7% or less, more preferably 5% or less. More preferably, it is in the range of 3% or less. Moreover, the shape of the structure 11 is not limited to the shape shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C or the inverted shape thereof, and may be a toroidal shape, a hyperbolic column shape, an elliptical column shape, a polygonal column shape, or a free-form surface shape. Good. Also, the apex of the prism shape and the lenticular shape may be a polygonal shape (for example, a pentagonal shape). When the structure 11 has a prism shape, the inclination angle θ of the prism-shaped structure 11 is, for example, 45 °. When applied to the window member 10, the structure 11 preferably has a flat surface or curved surface with an inclination angle inclined by 45 ° or more as much as possible from the viewpoint of reflecting a large amount of light incident from above and returning it to the sky. By adopting such a shape, the incident light returns to the sky with almost one reflection, so that the incident light can be efficiently reflected in the sky direction even if the reflectance of the wavelength selective reflection film 3 is not so high. This is because light absorption in the selective reflection film 3 can be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the shape of the structure 11 may be asymmetric with respect to the perpendicular l ₁ perpendicular to the incident surface S1 of the directional reflector 1. In this case, the main axis l _m of the structure 11 is inclined in the arrangement direction a of the structures 11 with respect to the perpendicular l ₁ . Here, the main axis l _m of the structure 11 means a straight line passing through the midpoint of the bottom of the structure cross section and the vertex of the structure. When the directional reflector 1 is pasted on the window member 10 arranged perpendicular to the ground, as shown in FIG. 4B, the main axis l _m of the structure 11 has the vertical axis l ₁ as a reference. It is preferable to incline downward (on the ground side). In general, the heat inflow through the window is mostly in the time zone around noon, and the altitude of the sun is often higher than 45 °. Therefore, by adopting the above shape, the light incident from these high angles can be efficiently used. This is because it can be reflected upward. 4A and 4B show an example in which the prism-shaped structure 11 has an asymmetric shape with respect to the perpendicular l ₁ . The structure 11 other than the prism shape may be asymmetric with respect to the perpendicular l ₁ . For example, the corner cube body may have an asymmetric shape with respect to the perpendicular l ₁ .

(Second optical layer)
The second optical layer 5 is for improving the transmitted image clarity and the total light transmittance and protecting the wavelength selective reflection film 3. As a material of the second optical layer 5, for example, a thermoplastic resin such as polycarbonate, an ionizing radiation curable resin such as acrylic, or the like can be used. Alternatively, the second optical layer 5 may be an adhesive layer, and the directional reflector 1 may be bonded to the window material 10 via the adhesive layer. For example, a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), an ultraviolet curable resin, or the like can be used as the material of the adhesive layer.

Moreover, in order to give the directional reflector 1 a design property, the second optical layer 5 may have a function of absorbing light of a specific wavelength. As the 2nd optical layer 5 which has such a function, what pigmented resin which is the main component of the 2nd optical layer 5 can be used, for example. The pigment dispersed in the resin may be either an organic pigment or an inorganic pigment, but it is particularly preferable to use an inorganic pigment having high weather resistance. Specifically, zircon gray (Co, Ni-doped ZrSiO ₄ ), praseodymium yellow (Pr-doped ZrSiO ₄ ), chrome titanium yellow (Cr, Sb-doped TiO ₂ or Cr, W-doped TiO ₂ ), chrome green (Cr ₂ O ₃ ), peacock blue ((CoZn) O (AlCr) ₂ O ₃ ), Victoria Green ((Al, Cr) ₂ O ₃ ), bitumen (CoO · Al ₂ O ₃ · SiO ₂ ), vanadium zirconium blue (V Inorganic pigments such as doped ZrSiO ₄ ), chrome tin pink (Cr doped CaO · SnO ₂ · SiO ₂ ), porcelain red (Mn doped Al ₂ O ₃ ), salmon pink (Fe doped ZrSiO ₄ ), azo pigments and phthalocyanine series Examples thereof include organic pigments such as pigments.

(Wavelength selective reflection film)
The wavelength selective reflection film 3 is, for example, a laminated film, a transparent conductive film, or a functional film. Moreover, it is good also as a wavelength selection film | membrane combining 2 or more of laminated films, a transparent conductive film, and a functional film. The average film thickness of the wavelength selective reflection film 3 is preferably 20 μm, more preferably 5 μm or less, and further preferably 1 μm or less. If the average film thickness of the wavelength selective reflection film 3 exceeds 20 μm, the optical path through which the transmitted light is refracted becomes long, and the transmitted image tends to appear distorted. As a method for forming the wavelength selective reflection film, for example, a sputtering method, a vapor deposition method, a dip coating method, a die coating method, or the like can be used.
Hereinafter, the laminated film, the transparent conductive film, or the functional film will be sequentially described.

(Laminated film)
The laminated film is, for example, a laminated film obtained by alternately laminating low refractive index layers and high refractive index layers having different refractive indexes. Alternatively, the multilayer film is, for example, a multilayer formed by alternately laminating a metal layer having a high reflectance in the infrared region and an optical transparent layer having a high refractive index in the visible region and functioning as an antireflection layer, or a transparent conductive film. It is a membrane.

  The metal layer having high reflectivity in the infrared region may be, for example, a simple substance such as Au, Ag, Cu, Al, Ni, Cr, Ti, Pd, Co, Si, Ta, W, Mo, Ge, or a simple substance thereof. The main component is an alloy containing two or more kinds. Of these, Ag-based, Cu-based, Al-based, Si-based, or Ge-based materials are preferred among these. When an alloy is used as the material of the metal layer, the metal layer is mainly composed of AlCu, AlTi, AlCr, AlCo, AlNdCu, AlMgSi, AgPdCu, AgPdTi, AgCuTi, AgPdCa, AgPdMg, AgPdFe, Ag, or SiB. It is preferable to do. In order to suppress corrosion of the metal layer, it is preferable to add materials such as Ti and Nd to the metal layer. In particular, when Ag is used as the material of the metal layer, it is preferable to add the above material.

  The optical transparent layer is an optical transparent layer that has a high refractive index in the visible region and functions as an antireflection layer. The optical transparent layer contains, as a main component, a high dielectric material such as niobium oxide, tantalum oxide, or titanium oxide. The transparent conductive film contains, for example, a ZnO-based oxide, indium-doped tin oxide, or the like as a main component. Examples of the ZnO-based oxide include zinc oxide (ZnO), zinc oxide (GAZO) doped with gallium (Ga) and aluminum (Al), zinc oxide (AZO) doped with Al, and gallium (Ga). At least one selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide doped with (GZO) can be used.

  Further, the refractive index of the high refractive index layer contained in the laminated film is preferably 1.7 or more and 2.6 or less, more preferably 1.8 or more and 2.6 or less, and further preferably 1.9 or more and 2.6 or less. Is within the range. This is because antireflection in the visible light region can be realized with a thin film that does not cause cracks. Here, the refractive index is at a wavelength of 550 nm. The high refractive index layer is, for example, a layer mainly composed of a metal oxide. As the metal oxide, it is preferable to use a metal oxide other than zinc oxide from the viewpoint of relaxing the stress of the layer and suppressing the generation of cracks. In particular, it is preferable to use at least one selected from the group consisting of niobium oxide (for example, niobium pentoxide), tantalum oxide (for example, tantalum pentoxide), and titanium oxide. The film thickness of the high refractive index layer is preferably 10 nm to 120 nm, more preferably 10 nm to 100 nm, and still more preferably 10 nm to 80 nm. When the film thickness is less than 10 nm, visible light tends to be easily reflected. On the other hand, when the film thickness exceeds 120, the transmittance tends to decrease and cracks tend to occur.

  The laminated film is not limited to a thin film made of an inorganic material, and may be constituted by laminating a thin film made of a polymer material or a layer in which fine particles are dispersed in a polymer. Further, for the purpose of preventing oxidative degradation of the lower layer metal during the formation of the optical transparent layer, a thin buffer layer such as Ti of about several nm may be provided at the interface of the optical transparent layer to be formed. Here, the buffer layer is a layer for suppressing oxidation of a metal layer or the like as a lower layer by being oxidized by itself during upper film formation.

(Transparent conductive film)
The transparent conductive film is a transparent conductive film whose main component is a conductive material having transparency in the visible region. The transparent conductive film contains, for example, a transparent conductive material such as tin oxide, zinc oxide, a carbon nanotube-containing body, indium-doped tin oxide, indium-doped zinc oxide, and antimony-doped tin oxide as a main component. Alternatively, a layer in which nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanowires of conductive materials such as nanoparticles and metals are dispersed in a resin at a high concentration may be used.

(Functional membrane)
The functional film is mainly composed of a chromic material whose reflection performance is reversibly changed by an external stimulus. The chromic material is a material that reversibly changes its structure by an external stimulus such as heat, light, or an intruding molecule. As the chromic material, for example, a photochromic material, a thermochromic material, a gas chromic material, or an electrochromic material can be used.

A photochromic material is a material that reversibly changes its structure by the action of light. The photochromic material can reversibly change various physical properties such as reflectance and color by irradiation with light such as ultraviolet rays. As the photochromic material, for example, transition metal oxides such as TiO ₂ , WO ₃ , MoO ₃ , and Nb ₂ O ₅ doped with Cr, Fe, Ni, or the like can be used. Moreover, wavelength selectivity can also be improved by laminating | stacking the film | membrane from which these films and refractive indexes differ.

A thermochromic material is a material that reversibly changes its structure by the action of heat. The photochromic material can reversibly change various physical properties such as reflectance and color by heating. For example, VO ₂ can be used as the thermochromic material. Further, for the purpose of controlling the transition temperature and the transition curve, elements such as W, Mo, and F can be added. Further, a laminated structure in which a thin film mainly composed of a thermochromic material such as VO ₂ is sandwiched between antireflection layers mainly composed of a high refractive index body such as TiO ₂ or ITO may be employed.
Alternatively, a photonic lattice such as cholesteric liquid crystal can be used. Cholesteric liquid crystals can selectively reflect light with a wavelength according to the layer spacing, and this layer spacing changes with temperature, so that physical properties such as reflectance and color can be reversibly changed by heating. . At this time, it is possible to widen the reflection band by using several cholesteric liquid crystal layers having different layer intervals.

An electrochromic material is a material that can reversibly change various physical properties such as reflectance and color by electricity. As the electrochromic material, for example, a material that reversibly changes its structure by applying a voltage can be used. More specifically, as the electrochromic material, for example, a reflection-type light control material whose reflection characteristics are changed by doping or dedoping such as proton can be used. Specifically, the reflective dimming material is a material that can control its optical properties to a transparent state, a mirror state, and / or an intermediate state thereof by an external stimulus. Examples of such reflective light-modulating materials include magnesium and nickel alloy materials, alloy materials mainly composed of magnesium and titanium alloy materials, WO ₃ and acicular crystals having selective reflectivity in microcapsules. A confined material or the like can be used.

As a specific functional film configuration, for example, the above-described alloy film, a catalyst film including Pd, a thin buffer layer such as Al, an electrolyte layer such as Ta ₂ O ₅ , and a proton are included on the second optical layer. A structure in which an ion storage layer such as WO ₃ and a transparent conductive film are stacked can be used. Alternatively, a configuration in which a transparent conductive film, an electrolyte layer, an electrochromic layer such as WO _3, and a transparent conductive film are stacked on the second optical layer can be used. In these configurations, by applying a voltage between the transparent conductive film and the counter electrode, protons contained in the electrolyte layer are doped or dedoped into the alloy film. Thereby, the transmittance | permeability of an alloy layer changes. In order to improve wavelength selectivity, it is desirable to laminate an electrochromic material with a high refractive index material such as TiO ₂ or ITO. As another configuration, a configuration in which a transparent conductive film, an optical transparent layer in which microcapsules are dispersed, and a transparent electrode are stacked on the second optical layer can be used. In this configuration, by applying a voltage between both transparent electrodes, the acicular crystal in the microcapsule is in a transmission state in which it is oriented, or by removing the voltage, the acicular crystal is directed in all directions to be in a wavelength selective reflection state. can do.

(Function of directional reflector)
5 and 6 are cross-sectional views for explaining an example of the function of the directional reflector. Here, as an example, the case where the shape of the structure is a prism shape with an inclination angle of 45 ° will be described as an example.
As shown in FIG. 5, some of the near infrared rays L ₁ out of the sunlight incident on the directional reflector 1 are directionally reflected in the sky direction as much as the incident direction, whereas the visible light L _{2 is} reflected. Passes through the directional reflector 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, is incident on the directional reflector 1, light reflected by the reflecting film surface of the wavelength-selective reflective layer 3, at a rate corresponding to the incident angle, the component L _A of the sky reflected sky It is separated into a component L _B not reflected. The component L _B not reflected toward the sky is totally reflected at the interface between the second optical layer 4 and the air is reflected in a direction different from the final incident direction.

The incident angle of light alpha, the refractive index of the first optical layer 4 n, the reflectance of the wavelength-selective reflective layer 3 is R, the ratio x of the sky reflection component L _A to the total incident component the following equation (1 ).
x = (sin (45−α ′) + cos (45−α ′) / tan (45 + α ′)) / (sin (45−α ′) + cos (45−α ′)) × R ² (1)
However, α ′ = sin ⁻¹ (sin α / n)

If the proportion of the component L _B not reflected toward the sky increases, the percentage of incident light is reflected over is reduced. In order to improve the sky reflection ratio, it is effective to devise the shape of the wavelength selective reflection film 3, that is, the shape of the structure 11 of the first optical layer 4. For example, in order to improve the proportion of the sky reflection, the shape of the structure 11 is preferably a cylindrical shape shown in FIG. 3C or an asymmetric shape shown in FIG. By making such a shape, even if it is not possible to reflect the light in exactly the same direction as the incident light, increase the proportion of the light that is incident from the upper direction, such as architectural window material, reflected upward. Is possible. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the two shapes shown in FIGS. 3C and 4 require only one reflection of the incident light by the wavelength selective reflection film 3, and the final reflection component is shown in FIG. It is possible to increase more than the shape that reflects twice. For example, when two-time reflection is used, if the reflectance for a certain wavelength of the wavelength selective reflection film 3 is 80%, the sky reflectance is 64%, but if the reflection is performed once, the sky reflectance is 80%. Become.

FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the ridge line l ₃ of the columnar structure 11 and the incident light L and reflected light L ₁ . The directional reflector 1 selectively selects light L ₁ in a specific wavelength band (θo, −φ) in the direction (0 ° <θo <) among the light L incident on the incident surface S1 at an incident angle (θ, φ). It is preferable that light L ₂ other than the specific wavelength band is transmitted while being directionally reflected at 90 °. It is because the light of a specific wavelength band can be reflected in the sky direction by satisfying such a relationship. Where θ is an angle formed between the perpendicular l ₁ to the incident surface S1 and the incident light L or the reflected light L ₁ . φ: An angle formed by a straight line l ₂ perpendicular to the ridge line l ₃ of the columnar structure 11 in the incident surface S1 and a component obtained by projecting the incident light L or the reflected light L ₁ onto the incident surface S1. The angle θ rotated clockwise with respect to the perpendicular l ₁ is defined as “+ θ”, and the angle θ rotated counterclockwise is defined as “−θ”. The angle φ rotated clockwise with respect to the straight line l ₂ is defined as “+ φ”, and the angle φ rotated counterclockwise is defined as “−φ”.

(Manufacturing method of directional reflector)
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, an example of the manufacturing method of the directional reflector which concerns on the 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
First, a mold having the same concavo-convex shape as the structure 11 or its inverted shape is formed by, for example, a cutting tool or laser processing. Next, the uneven shape of the mold is transferred to a film-like or sheet-like resin material using, for example, a melt extrusion method or a transfer method. Examples of the transfer method include a method of pouring an ionizing ray curable resin into a mold and irradiating the ionizing ray to cure, and a method of applying heat and pressure to the resin to transfer the shape. Thereby, as shown to FIG. 10A, the 1st optical layer 4 which has the some structure 11 in one main surface is formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, the wavelength selective reflection film 3 is formed on one main surface of the first optical layer 4. Examples of the method for forming the wavelength selective reflection film 3 include sputtering, vapor deposition, CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), dip coating, die coating, wet coating, and spray coating. It is preferable to select the film forming method appropriately according to the shape of the structure 11 and the like.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10C, an uncured resin 21 is applied onto the wavelength selective reflection film 3. As the resin 21, for example, a thermoplastic resin or an ionizing radiation curable resin can be used. As the ionizing radiation curable resin, an ultraviolet curable resin is preferable. Next, as shown in FIG. 11A, the peeling film 22 is placed on the resin 21, and the resin surface is molded. Next, as shown in FIG. 11B, the resin 21 is cured by irradiating the resin 21 with UV light from the light source 23 or by cooling the resin 21. Next, as shown in FIG. 11C, the peeling film 22 is peeled from the cured resin 21. Thereby, the second optical layer 5 having a smooth surface is formed on the wavelength selective reflection film 3. At this time, it is also possible to use a film that is transparent to light having a wavelength that is transmitted by the wavelength selective reflection film and ionizing rays without using the peeling film 22 and to be used as an optical body without peeling. Furthermore, the adhesive component dissolved in the solvent is thickly applied, leveled and flattened, and then the release film 22 is covered to form an optical body having the adhesive formed on one side.
As described above, the directional reflector 1 in which the wavelength selective reflection film having a desired shape is provided inside the optical layer 2 is obtained.

  When the concave and convex shape of the first optical layer 4 is formed by a mold as in the above manufacturing method, at least the second optical layer 5 of the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 is used. However, it preferably contains a highly polar functional group. When both the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 contain a highly polar functional group (for example, phosphoric acid acrylate), the content of the highly polar functional group in the second optical layer is The content of the functional group having high polarity in the first optical layer is preferably larger. This is because if the first optical layer 4 contains a large amount of highly polar functional groups, it will be difficult to release the mold when forming an uneven shape with the mold. From the viewpoint of facilitating mold release, at least the second optical layer 5 of the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 has a highly polar functional group as follows. It is preferable to contain. That is, the content of the functional group having high polarity is such that the difference in refractive index between the first optical layer 4 and the second optical layer 5 is preferably 0 or more and 0.010 or less, more preferably 0 or more and 0.009 or less. It is preferable to adjust so that it may become this range. Further, as described above, when the refractive index difference exceeds 0.010, the transmitted image tends to appear blurred.

<2. Second Embodiment>
FIGS. 12-14 is sectional drawing which shows the structural example of the structure of the directional reflector which concerns on the 2nd Embodiment of this invention. In the second embodiment, portions corresponding to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the structures 11 are two-dimensionally arranged on one main surface of the first optical layer 4.

  The structures 11 are two-dimensionally arranged on one main surface of the first optical layer 4. This arrangement is preferably the arrangement in the closest packed state. For example, a dense array such as a square dense array, a delta dense array, or a hexagonal dense array is formed on one main surface of the first optical layer 4 by two-dimensionally arranging the structures 11 in the most densely packed state. . The square dense array is a structure in which the structures 11 having a square bottom surface are arranged in a square dense form. The delta dense array is a structure in which the structures 11 having a triangular bottom surface are arranged in a hexagonal dense form.

<12. Twelfth Embodiment>
FIG. 43A is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a directional reflector according to the twelfth embodiment of the present invention. In the twelfth embodiment, the same portions as those in the eighth embodiment (see FIG. 22) are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. The twelfth embodiment is different from the eighth embodiment in that a semi-transmissive film 81 is provided instead of the wavelength selective reflection film 3.

When the directional reflector 1 includes the semi-transmissive film 81 as a reflective film, a part of the light L ₁ out of the light L incident on the incident surface S 1 at an incident angle (θ, φ) is specularly reflected (−θ, φ + 180 °). ), The remaining light L ₂ is transmitted (see FIG. 2). Here, the definitions of θ and φ are the same as those in the first embodiment. When the transflective film 81 is provided as the reflective film, it is preferable that the directionally reflected light is mainly light having a wavelength band of 400 nm or more and 2100 nm or less.

  Regarding the transmitted image definition with respect to the D65 light source, the value when an optical comb of 0.5 mm is used is preferably 30 or more, more preferably 50 or more, and further preferably 75 or more. When the transmitted image definition is less than 30, the transmitted image tends to appear blurred. If it is 30 or more and less than 50, it depends on the brightness of the outside, but there is no problem in daily life. When it is 50 or more and less than 75, only the very bright object such as a light source is concerned about the diffraction pattern, but the outside scenery can be seen clearly. If it is 75 or more, the diffraction pattern is hardly a concern. Furthermore, the total value of transmitted image sharpness values measured using 0.125 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 2.0 mm optical combs is preferably 170 or more, more preferably 230 or more, and even more preferably 350. That's it. If the total value of the transmitted image definition is less than 170, the transmitted image tends to appear blurred. If it is 170 or more and less than 230, it depends on the brightness of the outside, but there is no problem in daily life. If it is 230 or more and less than 350, the diffraction pattern is worrisome only for a very bright object such as a light source, but the outside scenery can be clearly seen. If it is 350 or more, the diffraction pattern is hardly a concern. Here, the value of transmitted image definition is measured according to JIS K7105 using ICM-1T manufactured by Suga Test Instruments.

  The semi-transmissive film 81 is, for example, a reflective film that is semi-transmissive in the visible region and the near-infrared region, and preferably has transparency so that the opposite side can be visually recognized with little scattering. Examples of the semi-transmissive reflective film include a thin metal layer and a metal nitride layer containing a semiconducting substance, and include viewpoints such as antireflection, color tone adjustment, chemical wettability improvement, or reliability improvement for environmental degradation. Therefore, it is preferable to have a laminated structure in which the reflective film is laminated with an oxide layer, a nitride layer, an oxynitride layer, or the like.

  As a material of the metal layer having a high reflectance in the visible region and the infrared region, for example, simple substance such as Au, Ag, Cu, Al, Ni, Cr, Ti, Pd, Co, Si, Ta, W, Mo, Ge, or Examples thereof include a material mainly composed of an alloy containing two or more of these simple substances. Of these, Ag-based, Cu-based, Al-based, Si-based, or Ge-based materials are preferred among these. In order to suppress corrosion of the metal layer, it is preferable to add materials such as Ti and Nd to the metal layer. Examples of the metal nitride layer include TiN, CrN, and WN.

  The film thickness of the semi-transmissive film 81 can be, for example, in the range of 2 nm or more and 40 nm or less, but may be any film thickness that is semi-transmissive in the visible region and the near infrared region, and is not limited thereto. It is not something. Here, the semi-transmitting property indicates that the transmittance at a wavelength of 500 nm to 1000 nm is 5% to 70%, preferably 10% to 60%, and more preferably 15% to 55%. The semi-transmissive film 81 refers to a reflective film having a transmittance of 5% to 70%, preferably 10% to 60%, and more preferably 15% to 55% at a wavelength of 500 nm to 1000 nm.

  As described above, according to the directional reflector 1 according to the twelfth embodiment, since the semi-transmissive film 81 is formed on the uneven surface of the first optical layer 4, while suppressing glare and reflection, It is possible to shield solar radiation including visible light. In addition, the second optical layer 5 embeds the uneven surface of the first optical layer 4 on which the semi-transmissive film 81 is formed, and preferably smoothes the surface so that the transmitted image can be clearly seen. Is possible.

<Modification>
Hereinafter, modifications of the embodiment will be described.

The optical layer 4 is formed to have substantially the same height as the incident surface S1.

<13. Thirteenth Embodiment>
FIG. 44 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a directional reflector according to the thirteenth embodiment of the present invention. In the thirteenth embodiment, the same portions as those in the eighth embodiment (see FIG. 22) are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. The thirteenth embodiment differs from the eighth embodiment in that a high reflection film 82 is provided instead of the wavelength selective reflection film 3.

  The directional reflector 1 directionally reflects most of the light L incident on the incident surface S1 at an incident angle (θ, φ) in a direction other than regular reflection (−θ, φ + 180 °) (see FIG. 2). Here, the definitions of θ and φ are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  The highly reflective film 82 is, for example, a metal film having a high reflectance, and the reflectance at a wavelength of 1000 nm to 2000 is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 50% or more, and further preferably 70% or more. As a material of the highly reflective film 82, for example, a simple substance such as Au, Ag, Cu, Al, Ni, Cr, Ti, Pd, Co, Si, Ta, W, Mo, Ge, or an alloy containing two or more of these simple substances The material which has as a main component is mentioned. Of these, Ag-based, Cu-based, Al-based, Si-based, or Ge-based materials are preferred among these. In order to suppress corrosion of the highly reflective film 82, it is preferable to add materials such as Ti and Nd to the metal layer. Examples of the metal nitride layer include TiN, CrN, and WN. The film thickness of the high reflection film 82 can be, for example, in the range of 10 nm or more and 200 nm or less. However, the film thickness is not limited to this as long as the film thickness is high.

  As described above, according to the directional reflector 1 according to the twelfth embodiment, the directional reflector 1 specularly reflects most of the light L incident on the incident surface S1 at the incident angle (θ, φ) (−θ , [Phi] +180 [deg.]). Therefore, by sticking the directional reflector 1 to the outer walls of buildings such as high-rise buildings and residences, it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the outer walls of those buildings.

<14. Fourteenth Embodiment>
It is known that photocurable resins such as urethane acrylate do not exhibit sufficient adhesion to inorganic films such as metal films and inorganic substrates. Therefore, in the fourteenth embodiment, the first optical layer 4 and / or the second optical layer 5 containing a photocurable resin for various reflective films such as a wavelength selective reflective film, a semi-transmissive film, and a high reflective film are used. The directional reflector 1 with improved adhesion will be described.

  As a method for improving the adhesion, for example, (1) a method for improving the adhesion between the first optical layer 4 or the second optical layer 5 and the reflective film by heating, and (2) a blending amount of the polyfunctional acrylate (3) A compound having a polar group such as a phosphate group as an additive as a functional monomer exhibiting good adhesion to the reflective film. The method of doing is mentioned. As the compound having a polar group such as a phosphoric acid group, it is preferable to use a monomer and / or an oligomer having one or two or more phosphate groups and one or two or more meta (acryloyl groups). . In the present specification, the (meth) acryloyl group means either an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group. Hereinafter, a monomer and / or oligomer having a phosphate group and a meta (acryloyl group) is referred to as a phosphate acrylate.

In the adhesion improving method (3), phosphorus (P) contained in the monomer in the phosphoric acid acrylate contained in the resin composition forming the first optical layer 4 and / or the second optical layer 5. Is preferably 0.005% by mass or more and 1.0% by mass or less, more preferably 0.025% by mass or more and 0.3% by mass or less, and still more preferably 0.05% by mass or more and 0.2% by mass. It is as follows. If the amount is less than 0.005% by mass, the effect of improving the adhesion tends to be hardly obtained, and if it exceeds 1.0% by mass, the cured product tends to become cloudy due to high temperature and high humidity.
Except for the above, this is the same as the directional reflector according to any one of the first to thirteenth embodiments.

<15. Fifteenth embodiment>
The fifteenth embodiment has a configuration in which a reflection film such as a wavelength selective reflection film, a semi-transmission film, and a high reflection film is embedded in an optical layer, and the concentration of inorganic phosphoric acid contained in the resin forming the optical layer Is 1.0% by mass or less.

  As described in the fourteenth embodiment, in order to improve adhesion, phosphoric acid is used as a functional monomer that exhibits good adhesion to a metal film or a metal oxide film included in the reflective film. It is preferable to blend a system acrylate as an additive. And it is preferable that the density | concentration of this phosphoric acid type acrylate is 5.0 mass% or less from a viewpoint of suppressing the white turbidity under the high temperature, high humidity of hardened | cured material. However, according to the knowledge of the present inventors, even when the concentration of the phosphoric acid acrylate is 5% by mass or less, the transparency and weather resistance of the optical layer 2 may be lowered. Therefore, as a result of intensive studies on the cause of the decrease in transparency, the present inventors have found that a functional resin (hereinafter referred to as phosphoric acid-based functionality) containing phosphoric acid acrylate, specifically, phosphoric acid acrylate as a main component. (It is called resin.) It came to discover that the inorganic phosphoric acid which remains in it has influenced transparency and the fall of a weather resistance. Conventionally, in the phosphoric acid functional resin, it is common that the inorganic phosphoric acid used when synthesizing the phosphoric acid functional resin remains as an impurity. It is difficult to avoid the conventional method for synthesizing a phosphate functional resin. When the optical layer 2 is formed using the phosphoric acid functional resin in which inorganic phosphoric acid remains in this way, the residual inorganic phosphoric acid may crystallize on the surface or the like and cause light scattering. . In addition, the remaining inorganic phosphoric acid absorbs moisture in the air and may cause corrosion of metal films such as metal films and metal oxide films. Here, inorganic phosphoric acid is an inorganic compound that does not have a meta (acryloyl group) and does not contribute to polymerization.

  Therefore, the present inventors have intensively studied a technique for suppressing a decrease in transparency and durability due to inorganic phosphoric acid. As a result, by reducing the residual inorganic phosphoric acid concentration in the resin composition for forming the optical layer 2 (excluding volatile components such as a solvent) to 1.0 mass% or less, the directional reflector 1 It came to discover that the fall of transparency and durability could be suppressed. Here, the residual inorganic phosphoric acid concentration is 100 for the entire resin composition excluding volatile components such as a solvent (that is, the entire resin composition remaining as the first optical layer 4 and / or the second optical layer 5 after curing). It shall be mass%.

Therefore, the content of the phosphoric acid compound contained in the resin forming the first optical layer 4 and / or the second optical layer 5 is preferably 1.0% by mass or less. If it exceeds 1.0 mass%, the cured product tends to become cloudy due to high temperature and humidity. The residual concentration of inorganic phosphoric acid in the optical layer forming resin composition is determined by, for example, adding the phosphate functional resin before preparing the resin composition by adding the phosphate functional resin to the photocurable resin or the like. It can be adjusted by purification.
Except for the above, this is the same as the directional reflector according to any one of the first to thirteenth embodiments.

Next, the spectral reflectance of the PET film with alternating multilayer films was measured with a DUV3700 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. As a result, the spectral reflectance curve shown in FIG. 29 was obtained. Next, after applying the above-mentioned mixed resin again on the alternate multilayer film and extruding bubbles, the PET film is placed and UV light irradiation is applied to cure the resin, and the resin layer ( 1st optical layer) was formed. Thereby, the optical film which is the target directional reflector was obtained.

(Example 2)
First, as shown in FIGS. 30A and 30B, a triangular pyramid shape was imparted to a Ni-P mold by cutting with a cutting tool. Next, urethane acrylate (Toagosei Co., Ltd., Aronix, post-curing refractive index 1.533) is applied to the Ni-P mold, and a 75 μm thick PET film (Toyobo Co., A4300) is installed on the Ni-P mold. Then, the resin was cured by irradiating UV light from the PET film side.

  Next, after peeling the laminate of the resin and PET from the Ni-P mold, the zinc oxide film and the silver alloy are formed on the molding surface having a triangular pyramid shape formed by the mold as shown in Table 1. An alternating multilayer film was formed by vacuum sputtering. In addition, the alloy target which has a composition of Ag / Nd / Cu = 99.0 at% / 0.4 at% / 0.6 at% was used for film-forming of the AgNdCu film | membrane which is a silver alloy film. After film formation, the same resin as the underlayer (Toagosei Co., Ltd., Aronix, refractive index after curing 1.533) was applied onto the shape surface on which the alternating multilayer film was formed. Further, a 75 μm-thick PET film (A4300, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) was placed thereon, and after extruding bubbles, UV light was irradiated through the PET film to cure the resin.

(Example 3)
An optical film of Example 3 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 2 except that the selective reflection film had a film thickness configuration shown in Table 1.

Example 4
An optical film of Example 4 was obtained in the same manner as Example 2 except that the selective reflection film had a film thickness configuration shown in Table 1.

(Example 5)
As in Example 2, after forming a triangular pyramid shape using a resin having a refractive index after curing of 1.533, selective recursion by an alternating multilayer film of a zinc oxide film and a silver alloy film with the same configuration as in Example 2 A reflective film was formed. Thereafter, a UV curable resin (manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd., Aronix, refractive index after curing 1.540) was applied on the shape surface on which the alternating multilayer film was formed. Further, a 75 μm-thick PET film (A4300, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) was placed thereon, and after extruding bubbles, UV light was irradiated through the PET film to cure the resin. Thus, an optical film of Example 5 having a refractive index difference of 0.007 between the upper layer resin and the lower layer resin was obtained.

(Example 6)
An optical film of Example 6 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 5 except that a UV curable resin having a refractive index of 1.542 after curing was used for the upper layer, and the difference in refractive index between the upper resin and the lower resin was 0.009. .

(Comparative Example 1)
On the PET film having a smooth surface, an alternating multilayer film having a film thickness configuration shown in Table 1 was formed to obtain an optical film of Comparative Example 1.

(Comparative Example 2)
An alternating multilayer film was formed on a PET film having a smooth surface under the same film forming conditions as in Example 2 to obtain an optical film of Comparative Example 2.

(Comparative Example 3)
An alternating multilayer film was formed on a PET film having a smooth surface under the same film forming conditions as in Example 3 to obtain an optical film of Comparative Example 3.

(Comparative Example 4)
On the PET film having a smooth surface, an alternating multilayer film was formed under the same film forming conditions as in Example 4 to obtain an optical film of Comparative Example 4.

(Comparative Example 5)
In the same manner as in Example 2 until the step of forming the alternating multilayer film, a PET film with an alternating multilayer film was obtained, and then the alternating multilayer film was exposed without being filled with the resin. Comparative Example 5 An optical film was obtained.

(Comparative Example 6)
Up to the formation process of the alternating multilayer film, a PET film with an alternating multilayer film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 2, and then the same resin as the underlayer (Aronix, manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd.) was formed on the shape surface on which the alternating multilayer film was formed. After curing, a refractive index of 1.533) was applied. Next, in order to avoid curing inhibition due to oxygen without covering the applied resin with a PET film, the resin was cured by irradiation with UV light under N ₂ purge. This obtained the optical film of the comparative example 6.

(Comparative Example 7)
An optical film of Comparative Example 7 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 5 except that a UV curable resin having a refractive index of 1.546 after curing was used for the upper layer, and the difference in refractive index between the upper resin and the lower resin was 0.013. .

(Evaluation of directional reflectance)
The directional reflectances of the optical films of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were evaluated as follows.
FIG. 31 shows the configuration of a measuring apparatus for measuring the retroreflectance of the optical film. The linear light emitted from the halogen lamp light source 101 and collimated by the lens is incident on the half mirror 102 installed at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the traveling direction of the light. Half of the incident light is reflected by the half mirror 102 and its traveling direction is rotated by 90 °, while the other half of the incident light is transmitted through the half mirror 102. Next, the reflected light is retroreflected by the sample 103 and enters the half mirror 102 again. Half of this incident light passes through the half mirror 102 and enters the detector 104. The intensity of this incident light is measured by the detector 104 as the reflection intensity.

  Using the measuring apparatus having the above-described configuration, the retroreflectance at wavelengths of 900 nm and 1100 nm was determined by the following method. First, a mirror was installed in the sample folder of this measuring apparatus at an incident angle θ = 0 °, and the light intensity of each wavelength was measured by the detector 104. Next, an optical film was installed in the sample folder of this measuring apparatus, and the light intensity was measured at incident angles θ = 0 °, 20 °, 40 °, 60 °, and 80 °. Thereafter, the retroreflectance of the optical film was determined with the light intensity of the mirror as 90% retroreflectance. The results are shown in Table 2 (in this measurement, φ = 0 °).

(Evaluation of directional reflection direction)
Evaluation of the directional reflection direction of the optical films of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 5 to 8 was performed as follows using the measurement apparatus shown in FIG. With the sample 103 as the central axis, the detector 104 was rotated as indicated by the arrow a, and the direction in which the reflection intensity was maximum was measured. The results are shown in Table 3.

(Evaluation of vertical transmittance)
The vertical transmittances of the optical films of Examples 2 to 4 and Comparative Examples 2 to 4 were evaluated as follows.
The vertical transmittance in the visible and near-infrared region was measured with DUV3700 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. The spectral transmittance waveform is shown in FIG. 32 and FIG.

(Evaluation of chromaticity)
The chromaticities of the optical films of Examples 2 to 4 and Comparative Examples 2 to 4 were evaluated as follows.
In order to suppress the influence of the color of the back surface, the optical films of Examples and Comparative Examples were placed on a black plate (Mitsubishi Rayon Acrylite L502) and SP62 (xRite Integrating Sphere Colorimeter. D / 8 °. Measurement was performed with an optical system, a D64 light source, a 2 ° field of view, and a SPEX mode. The results are shown in Table 4. The chromaticity of the black plate measured without placing a sample was x = 0.325 and y = 0.346.

(Evaluation of transmitted image clarity)
The transmitted image clarity of the optical films of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 5 to 8 were evaluated as follows. According to JIS-K7105, transmitted image definition was evaluated using optical combs having a comb width of 2.0 mm, 1.0 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.125 mm. The measuring device used for the evaluation is an image clarity measuring device (ICM-1T type) manufactured by Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd. Next, the total of transmitted image clarity measured using optical combs having a comb width of 2.0 mm, 1.0 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.125 mm was obtained. The results are shown in Table 3.

(Evaluation of haze)
The haze evaluation of the optical films of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 5 to 8 was evaluated as follows.
Based on the measurement conditions based on JIS K7136, the haze was measured using a haze meter HM-150 (manufactured by Murakami Color Research Laboratory). The results are shown in Table 3. The light source was a D65 light source, and measurement was performed without applying a filter.

(Visibility evaluation)
The visibility of the optical films of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 5 to 8 was evaluated as follows.
The produced film was bonded to 3 mm thick glass with an optically transparent adhesive. Next, this glass was held about 50 cm away from the eyes, and the inside of an adjacent building at a distance of about 10 m was observed through the glass and evaluated according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 3.
◎: Multiple images due to diffraction are not seen, and looks like a normal window ○: There is no problem in normal use, but if there is a specular reflector etc., multiple images due to diffraction are slightly visible △: Approximate object The shape can be distinguished, but I'm worried about multiple images due to diffraction. ×: I don't know what is cloudy due to the influence of diffraction.

(Measurement of surface roughness)
The surface roughness of the optical film of Comparative Example 6 was evaluated as follows.
The surface roughness was measured using a stylus type surface shape measuring instrument ET-4000 (manufactured by Kosaka Laboratory). The result is shown in FIG.

Table 1 shows the structure of the optical film of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-8.

Table 2 shows the evaluation results of the directional reflectance of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.

Table 3 shows the directional reflection direction and transmission when light is incident on the optical films of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 5 to 8 at an incident angle (θ, φ) = (10 °, 45 °). The evaluation results of image definition, haze, and visibility are shown.

Table 4 shows the chromaticity evaluation results of Examples 2 to 4 and Comparative Examples 2 to 4.

The following can be understood from Table 2 and FIG.
In the optical film of Example 1, near infrared rays can be directionally reflected while maintaining the transmittance of visible light at 80% or more. On the other hand, the optical film of Comparative Example 1 can make the visible light transmittance as high as that of Example 1, but it cannot retroreflect near-infrared rays except at an incident angle of 0 degree.

The following can be understood from Table 3 and FIG.
In the optical film of Comparative Example 5, directional reflectivity is obtained with respect to near infrared rays having a wavelength of about 1200 nm and visible light is transmitted, but resin layers are formed on the alternating multilayer film and are not transparentized. The object on the opposite side cannot be visually recognized through the optical film. In the optical film of Comparative Example 6, as shown in FIG. 34, the surface cannot be completely flattened during the clearing treatment. For this reason, in the optical film of Comparative Example 6, as in Comparative Example 5, the object on the opposite side cannot be visually recognized through the optical film. Since the maximum height Rz is about 1.3 μm and the arithmetic average roughness Ra is about 0.14 μm with respect to the pitch of the base of the triangular pyramid of about 110 μm, a smoother surface is required to make the transmitted image clear. Is necessary.
Further, in the optical films of Comparative Examples 7 and 8, the refractive index difference is 0.013 and 0.025, respectively, so that the transmitted image sharpness measured using an optical comb having a width of 0.5 mm is less than 50. Yes. Further, the total value of transmitted image sharpness values measured using optical combs of 0.125 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 2.0 mm is less than 230. Therefore, in the optical films of Comparative Examples 7 and 8, the scattered light increases and the selective permeability of visible light decreases. That is, the transparency of the optical film is lowered.

Table 3 shows the following.
In the optical films of Examples 1 to 6, the transmitted image definition measured using an optical comb having a width of 0.5 mm is 50 or more, and the total value of the transmitted image definition values measured using each optical comb is 230 or more. The visibility evaluation result is “◯” or “◎”.
On the other hand, in the optical films of Comparative Examples 5 to 8, the transmission image definition measured using an optical comb having a width of 0.5 mm was less than 50, and the transmission image definition measured using each optical comb was low. The total value is less than 230. The visibility evaluation result is “x”.
From the above, from the viewpoint of visibility, it is preferable that the transmitted image sharpness measured using an optical comb having a width of 0.5 mm is 50 or more. Further, from the viewpoint of visibility, it is preferable that the total value of transmitted image sharpness values measured using optical combs of 0.125 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 2.0 mm is 230 or more.

Table 3, Table 4, FIG. 32, and FIG. 33 show the following.
The optical film of Comparative Example 2 exhibits a golden tone with high reflectance in the visible light region. The optical film of Comparative Example 3 exhibits a color tone with high reflectivity and bluish green in the visible light region. The optical film of Comparative Example 4 exhibits a reddish color tone with high reflectance in the visible light region. Moreover, the color of the optical film of Comparative Examples 3-4 also changes with viewing angles. That is, the color tone of the optical films of Comparative Examples 2 to 4 is difficult to apply to a building window or the like. On the other hand, the optical films of Examples 2 to 4 having the same film configuration as Comparative Examples 2 to 4, respectively, have a hue that is not noticeable when viewed, Example 2 is slightly green, Example 3, No. 4 is slightly bluish, but the hue hardly changes even when the viewing angle is changed. Such characteristics are preferable when an optical film is applied to a window glass or the like for which designability is required.

(Example 7)
First, a Ni-P die roll having a fine triangular pyramid shape shown in FIGS. 35A to 35C was produced by cutting with a cutting tool. Next, a urethane acrylate (manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd., Aronix, refractive index 1.533 after curing) is applied onto a 75 μm thick PET film (A4300, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.), and UV is applied from the PET film side in a state of being closely attached to the mold The urethane acrylate was cured by irradiation with light. Next, the laminate of the resin layer obtained by curing urethane acrylate and the PET film was peeled from the Ni-P mold. Thereby, a resin layer (hereinafter referred to as a shape resin layer) provided with a triangular pyramid shape was formed on the PET film. Next, a wavelength selective reflection film having a film configuration shown in Table 5 was formed by sputtering on a molding surface having a triangular pyramid shape formed by a mold. An alloy target having a composition of Ag / Pd / Cu = 99.0 at% / 0.4 at% / 0.6 at% was used for forming the AgPdCu film.

  Next, using the manufacturing apparatus shown in FIG. 23, the film formation surface of the shaped film was embedded with resin as follows. That is, a resin composition having the following composition is applied onto a 75 μm-thick smooth PET film (Toyobo, A4300), and a wavelength selective reflection film is formed on the surface so that air bubbles do not enter between the two films. A smooth PET film was laminated with a PET film. Thereafter, the resin composition was cured by irradiating UV light from the smooth PET film side. Thereby, the resin composition between the smooth PET film and the wavelength selective reflection film was cured, and a resin layer (hereinafter referred to as an embedded resin layer) was formed. Thus, the objective optical film of Example 7 was obtained.

<Formulation of resin composition>
99 parts by mass of urethane acrylate (manufactured by Toagosei, Aronix, refractive index after curing 1.533)

(Example 11)
An optical film of Example 11 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 9 except that the wavelength selective reflection film had the film configuration shown in Table 5.

(Example 12)

(Comparative Example 9)
The optical film of Comparative Example 9 was prepared in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that a wavelength selective reflection film having the same configuration as that of Example 7 was formed on a PET film having a smooth surface instead of the shaped PET film. Obtained.

(Comparative Example 10)
The optical film of Comparative Example 10 was prepared in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that a wavelength selective reflection film having the same configuration as that of Example 8 was formed on a PET film having a smooth surface instead of the shaped PET film. Obtained.

(Comparative Example 11)
The optical film of Comparative Example 11 was prepared in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that a wavelength selective reflection film having the same configuration as that of Example 9 was formed on a PET film having a smooth surface instead of the shaped PET film. Obtained.

(Comparative Example 12)
The optical film of Comparative Example 12 was prepared in the same manner as Comparative Example 1 except that a wavelength selective reflection film having the same configuration as Example 10 was formed on a PET film having a smooth surface instead of the shaped PET film. Obtained.

(Comparative Example 13)
The optical film of Comparative Example 13 was prepared in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that a wavelength selective reflection film having the same configuration as that of Example 12 was formed on a PET film having a smooth surface instead of the shaped PET film. Obtained.

(Reflective film adhesion evaluation)
The produced film was bonded to 3 mm-thick glass with an optically transparent adhesive, and the film was peeled off to observe the state.
◎: Peeling is difficult, and if it is forcibly removed, bulk destruction of the substrate or resin occurs. ○: Peeling is relatively difficult, but if it is forcibly removed, peeling occurs at the interface. Δ: Peeling occurs at the interface. However, I feel resistance when peeling ×: Interfacial peeling occurs without resistance

(Transmittance / Reflectance evaluation)
The transmittance and the reflectance were measured by DUV3700 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. The transmittance is 0 ° with respect to the perpendicular of the optical film, and the reflectance is 8 ° with respect to the perpendicular of the optical film. The results are shown in FIGS.

(Color evaluation of transmitted light / reflected light)
The redness of the transmitted light and the reflected light was judged visually. The results are shown in Tables 6 and 7.

Table 5 shows the structures of the optical films of Examples 7 to 12 and Comparative Examples 9 to 13 and the evaluation results thereof.

In Table 5, the average film thickness of each layer in Examples 7 to 12 in which the wavelength selective reflection film is formed on the uneven surface was measured as follows. That is, each layer of the sample in which the wavelength selective reflection film was formed on a smooth film under the same conditions as when the wavelength selective reflection film was formed on the shape resin layer in Examples 7 to 12, and the cross section was cut by FIB. The film thickness was measured using TEM, and the average film thickness was determined based on the measured value. In addition, it was confirmed that the average film thickness measured in this way coincided with the average film thickness t2 in the n2 direction at the center position of the triangular perpendicular forming the triangular pyramid of the shape resin layer (see FIG. 42). ). Here, the triangular perpendicular means a perpendicular drawn from the apex of the triangle forming the pyramid surface of the triangular pyramid to the opposite side (the base of the triangular pyramid). Thus, the position on the triangular pyramid where the average film thicknesses coincide is defined by measuring the average film thickness of the wavelength selective reflection film formed on the triangular pyramid of the shape resin layer as shown in FIG. This is because the average film thickness varies depending on the position on the triangle forming the triangular pyramid. However, in FIG. 42, the n1 direction and the n2 direction indicate the following directions.
n1 direction: a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface of the prism shape applied to the PET film n2 direction: a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the PET film (the thickness direction of the PET film)

Table 6 shows the evaluation results of the optical films of Examples 7 to 10 and 12.

Table 7 shows the evaluation results of the optical films of Comparative Examples 9-13.

FIG. 41 is a graph showing the sensitivity coefficient according to the test method of JIS R 3106.
In order to improve the visible light transmittance, it is necessary to have a high transmittance at a wavelength of about 500 nm where the visible visibility coefficient is high, and it is desirable to pass light of 400 to 750 nm. On the other hand, in order to increase heat shielding, it is necessary to block light in a wavelength region having a high sensitivity coefficient for shielding. In view of these, in order to improve visible transmittance and improve heat shielding, it is necessary to transmit visible light having a wavelength of about 400 to 750 nm and effectively block near infrared light having a wavelength of about 750 to 1300 nm. .

  It is preferable that the shape resin layer formed before the formation of the wavelength selective reflection film and the embedding resin layer formed after the formation of the wavelength selective reflection film have substantially the same refractive index. However, when the same resin is used for both layers, an additive is added to the embedded resin layer in order to improve the adhesion between the wavelength selective reflection film that is an inorganic thin film and the embedded resin layer that is an organic resin layer. In the shape transfer, it becomes difficult to peel the shape resin layer from the Ni-P type. When the wavelength selective reflection film is formed by a sputtering method, high energy particles adhere to it, so that the adhesion between the shape resin layer and the wavelength selective reflection film is rarely a problem. Therefore, it is preferable to suppress the amount of additive of the shape resin layer to the minimum necessary and introduce an additive that improves the adhesion to the embedded resin layer. At this time, if the refractive index of the embedding resin layer and the shape resin layer are greatly different, it is cloudy and the opposite side is difficult to see, but in Examples 7 to 12, the additive amount is 1% by mass, and the refractive index However, since there was almost no change, the transmission clarity was very high. If it is necessary to add a large amount of the additive, it is preferable to adjust the compounding of the resin composition for forming the shaped resin layer so that the refractive index is substantially the same as that of the embedded resin layer.

  When Example 9 and Example 11 are compared, the presence or absence of the ZnO layer as the outermost layer of the wavelength selective reflection film is greatly different, and these spectral spectra are almost the same, but the adhesion with the embedded resin layer is the surface layer. Example 9 in which ZnO was present was higher.

The following can be understood from the evaluation results of FIGS. 36 to 40 and Tables 6 and 7.
The optical films of Comparative Examples 9 and 11 to 13 have a reflection hue of reddish purple to purple, and show a reflection color that is of concern when pasted on a window glass. In the optical film of Comparative Example 10, the red reflection was not worrisome, but among the near infrared rays necessary to block the heat of sunlight, the reflectance at a wavelength of 800 to 900 nm was as low as 50% or less, It is difficult to achieve both redness and heat shielding performance.
On the other hand, in the optical films of Examples 7 to 10 and 12, since the reflected light recurs in the direction of the light source, the reflected color is not recognized and the sunlight is reflected and transmitted. However, only a blue-green color was recognized, and it was a preferable color tone that felt cool when applied to a window. For example, the optical film of Example 9 has the same film configuration as that of Comparative Example 11, and has high infrared reflectivity. Thus, when the film of a present Example is applied, a preferable external color and infrared shielding performance can be made compatible.

  FIG. 49 shows the viscoelastic modulus behavior of the shape transfer resin of Example 2. In addition, the arrow in a figure has shown to which vertical axis | shaft each curve belongs. The tan δ peak value of 95 ° C. is the value of the glass transition point. In Example 2, since the glass transition point is in the range of 60 degrees or more and 150 degrees or less as described above, as described above, the deformation of the resin shape due to heating or film formation in the manufacturing process can be suppressed, and cracks can be generated. And the occurrence of interface peeling can be suppressed.

(Example 13)
First, a Ni-P die roll having a fine triangular pyramid shape shown in FIGS. 35A to 35C was produced by cutting with a cutting tool. Next, a urethane acrylate (manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd., Aronix, refractive index after curing 1.533) is applied onto a 75 μm thick PET film (Toyobo Co., Ltd., A4300), and UV is applied from the PET film side in a state of being in close contact with the mold. The urethane acrylate was cured by irradiation with light. Next, the laminate of the resin layer obtained by curing urethane acrylate and the PET film was peeled from the Ni-P mold. Thereby, a resin layer (hereinafter referred to as a shape resin layer) provided with a triangular pyramid shape was formed on the PET film. Next, a wavelength selective reflection film having the reflection film A shown in Table 9 was formed on the molding surface having a triangular pyramid shape formed by a mold by sputtering. An alloy target having a composition of Ag / Pd / Cu = 99.0 at% / 0.4 at% / 0.6 at% was used for forming the AgPdCu film.

  Next, using the manufacturing apparatus shown in FIG. 23, the film formation surface of the shaped film was embedded with resin as follows. That is, a resin composition having the following composition is applied onto a 75 μm-thick smooth PET film (Toyobo, A4300), and a wavelength selective reflection film is formed on the surface so that air bubbles do not enter between the two films. A smooth PET film was laminated with a PET film. Thereafter, the resin composition was cured by irradiating UV light from the smooth PET film side. Thereby, the resin composition between the smooth PET film and the wavelength selective reflection film was cured, and a resin layer (hereinafter referred to as an embedded resin layer) was formed. Thus, the objective optical film of Example 13 was obtained.

Table 8 shows the structures and evaluation results of the optical films of Examples 13 to 22 and Reference Example 1. However, in Reference Example 1, since the resin was not released from the mold, a sample for evaluating adhesion could not be produced.

Table 9 shows the film configuration of the wavelength selective reflection film of the optical films of Examples 13 to 23.

(Test Example 1)
First, a ZnO film was formed to a thickness of 20 nm on a glass plate by a vacuum sputtering method to produce a test piece. Next, the amount of 2-acryloyloxyethyl acid phosphate (manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd., Light Acrylate P-1A) to the acrylic resin composition (Toagosei Co., Ltd., Aronix, post-curing refractive index 1.533) is shown. As shown in FIG. Thereby, the acrylic resin composition from which the addition amount of an additive differs was obtained. Next, after applying these acrylic resin compositions to the prepared test pieces, they were covered with a ZEONOR film, and the resin was cured by irradiation with 1000 mJ / cm ^{2 of} UV light. Thus, a target sample was obtained.

(Test Example 4)
Test pieces were prepared in the same manner as in Test Example 1 except that γ-butyrolactone methacrylate (manufactured by Osaka Organic Chemical Co., Ltd., GBLMA) was used as an additive and the amount added was changed as shown in Table 10.

(Adhesion evaluation)
Next, it was produced as described above, the ZEONOR film was peeled from the test piece, the resin was cross-cut into 100 squares with a cutter, and an adhesion test was performed. The evaluation results are shown in Table 10.
A: High adhesion, no peeling
○: Relatively strong adhesion, peeling 0-20
Δ: Adhesion is relatively weak, peeling 20-50
X: Adhesion is weak, peeling 50-100

Table 10 shows the evaluation results of the samples of Test Examples 1 to 4.

Table 10 shows the following.
It can be seen that the adhesiveness is improved by adding a relatively small amount of phosphoric acid based additive of about 0.5%. On the other hand, with succinic acid-based and butyrolactone acid-based additives, it was found that adhesion is improved by adding a relatively large amount of about 20% or more.

(Test Example 5)
First, a Ni-P flat plate mold having a fine triangular shape shown in FIGS. 35A to 35C was manufactured by cutting with a cutting tool. Next, the amount of 2-acryloyloxyethyl acid phosphate (manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd., Light Acrylate P-1A) to the acrylic resin composition (Toagosei Co., Ltd., Aronix, post-curing refractive index 1.533) is shown. 11 was added and changed. Thereby, the acrylic resin composition from which the addition amount of an additive differs was obtained. Next, these acrylic resin compositions were apply | coated to the shape surface of the produced Ni-P flat plate metal mold | die. Next, a PET film (A4300, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) having a thickness of 75 μm was covered, and the resin was cured by irradiation with 1000 mJ / cm ^{2 of} UV light from the PET film in a state where the PET film was closely attached to the mold. Thus, a target sample was obtained.

(Test Example 6)
A sample was prepared in the same manner as in Test Example 5 except that 2-methacryloyloxyethyl acid phosphate (manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd., light acrylate P-2M) was used as an additive, and the addition amount was changed as shown in Table 11. Produced.

(Test Example 7)

(Test Example 8)
A sample was prepared in the same manner as in Test Example 5 except that γ-butyrolactone methacrylate (manufactured by Osaka Organic Chemical Co., Ltd., GBLMA) was used as the additive and the addition amount was changed as shown in Table 11.
(Releasability evaluation)
Next, the laminate of the cured resin layer and the PET film was peeled from the Ni-P flat plate mold to evaluate the releasability. The evaluation results are shown in Table 11.
○: Can be easily peeled after curing Δ: Can be peeled after curing, but some resin remains in the mold, and unevenness is visible on the shape film ×: After curing, cannot adhere to the mold and peel

Table 11 shows the evaluation results of the samples of Test Examples 5 to 8.

Table 11 shows the following.
It was found that a product with zero additive peels easily from the mold, but a product containing at least 1% of an additive for improving adhesion has a problem in peelability. In particular, the addition of a phosphoric acid-based additive that improves adhesion in a small amount completely adheres to the mold with 1% addition, whereas the butyrolactone-based resin with relatively poor adhesion has a resin added with 1% addition. It can be seen that it cannot be used for shape transfer because it remains in some molds.

In the following examples, the content of inorganic phosphoric acid was measured as follows.
The phosphoric acid functional resin was dissolved in toluene-d8 (manufactured by Taiyo Nippon Sanso Co., Ltd.), and ³¹ P-NMR measurement was performed using a nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus (manufactured by JEOL Ltd., trade name: JNM-ECP500). The content of inorganic phosphoric acid in the resin was determined from the obtained spectrum.
The content of inorganic phosphoric acid contained in the optical layer after curing can be measured by solid-state NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance).

(Example 24)
First, the triangular pyramid shape (corner cube shape) shown in FIGS. 35A to 35C was applied to a Ni-P mold by cutting with a cutting tool. Next, a photocurable resin (product name: Aronix, manufactured by Toa Gosei Co., Ltd.), which is a resin composition for forming a shape resin layer, is applied to the Ni-P mold, and PET (polyethylene having a thickness of 75 μm) is further formed thereon. A terephthalate) film (trade name A4300, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) was placed. Next, UV light was irradiated to the photocurable resin from the PET film side and cured.

  Next, the laminate of the photocurable resin and the PET film was peeled off from the Ni-P mold to obtain a shaped resin layer (first optical layer) having a triangular pyramid shaped molding surface. Next, a wavelength selective reflection film was formed on the forming surface on which the triangular pyramid shape was formed by vacuum sputtering.

  Next, the residual inorganic phosphoric acid component in the phosphoric acid-based functional resin (manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd., trade name: P-1M) whose main component is a functional monomer (phosphate ester type acrylate monomer) is reduced. Therefore, purification by extraction was performed, and the content of residual inorganic phosphoric acid in the phosphoric functional resin (residual concentration of inorganic phosphoric acid) was set to less than 0.1% by mass. Add 2.0% by mass of purified functional phosphate resin to the photo-curing resin (product name: Aronix, manufactured by Toa Gosei Co., Ltd.) as the base material, and stir at room temperature for 30 minutes to embed A resin composition for forming a resin layer was prepared. In addition, content of the inorganic phosphoric acid in the resin composition for embedding resin layer formation was less than 0.05 mass%.

  Next, after applying the prepared resin composition for forming an optical layer on the wavelength selective reflection film and extruding bubbles, a PET film (trade name A4300, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) was placed. Next, the resin composition for forming an embedded resin layer was cured by irradiating UV light through this PET film, and an embedded resin layer (second optical layer) was formed on the wavelength selective reflection film. Thus, the target optical film was obtained.

Using an ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectrophotometer (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, trade name: DUV3700), the transmittance at 0 ° was measured based on the perpendicular of the optical film. Table 12 shows the average transmittance at wavelengths of 380 to 780 nm.

(Transmittance after high temperature and high humidity test)
The transmittance after the high-temperature and high-humidity test of the optical films of Examples 24-28 obtained as described above was measured as follows. First, the obtained optical film was stored in a high-temperature and high-humidity tester set at 60 ° C. and 90% high-temperature and high-humidity environment for 168 hours (one week). Next, the transmittance of the optical film after storage was measured in the same manner as the transmittance measurement before the high temperature and high humidity test described above. Table 12 shows the average transmittance at wavelengths of 380 to 780 nm.

(Transmittance decrease)
The difference in transmittance after the high-temperature and high-humidity test measured as described above was taken to determine the amount of decrease in transmittance. The results are shown in Table 12.

(High temperature and high humidity test evaluation)
Based on the amount of decrease in transmittance obtained as described above, the high temperature and high humidity test of the optical film was evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1.
The evaluation criteria for the high temperature and high humidity test are shown below.
○: Transmittance decrease is 3.0% or less ×: Transmittance decrease exceeds 3.0%

Table 12 shows the evaluation results of the optical films of Examples 24-28.

Table 12 shows the following.
In order to improve the weather resistance of the optical film, the content (concentration) of inorganic phosphoric acid remaining in the resin composition for forming an embedded resin layer is preferably 1.0% or less.

  Although the embodiments and examples of the present invention have been specifically described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention are possible.

  For example, the configurations, shapes, materials, numerical values, and the like given in the above-described embodiments and examples are merely examples, and different configurations, shapes, materials, numerical values, and the like may be used as necessary.

  The configurations of the above-described embodiments can be combined with each other without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  Moreover, although the above-mentioned embodiment demonstrated the example which forms the 2nd optical layer 5 with a smooth surface using the film 22 for peeling, the formation method of a surface is not limited to this example. For example, a hot melt resin, an ionizing radiation curable resin, or the like may be applied on the concavo-convex surface of the wavelength selective reflection film 3, and a flat surface may be formed using a mirror roll. Further, a flat surface may be formed by applying an easily leveling resin such as an ionizing ray curable resin or a thermosetting resin on the uneven surface. Furthermore, the step of applying the resin on the uneven surface may be omitted, and the adhesive may be applied to the uneven surface of the wavelength selective reflection film 3 and leveled to form a flat surface.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the directional reflector according to the present invention is applied to a window material or the like has been described as an example. However, the directional reflector according to the present invention may be applied to a blind or a roll curtain. As the blind or roll curtain to which the directional reflector is applied, for example, a blind or roll curtain constituted by the directional reflector itself, a blind or roll curtain constituted by a transparent substrate on which the directional reflector is bonded, etc. Can be mentioned. By installing such a blind or a roll curtain near the indoor window, for example, only infrared rays can be directionally reflected outdoors and visible light can be taken into the room. Therefore, the need for room lighting is reduced even when blinds or roll curtains are installed. Moreover, since there is no scattering reflection by a blind or a roll curtain, the surrounding temperature rise can also be suppressed. Further, when the necessity for heat ray reflection is low such as in winter, there is an advantage that the heat ray reflection function can be easily used properly depending on the situation by raising the blinds or the roll curtain. On the other hand, conventional blinds and roll curtains for shielding infrared rays are coated with infrared reflecting paints and have a white, gray, or cream appearance, so try to block the infrared rays. Then, visible light is also cut off at the same time, and indoor lighting is required. Similarly, it can take the form of a shoji, and can be removed if it is not necessary.
