Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a color filter film using guided-mode resonance, and more specifically, to a variable color filter using a stretchable material.
In general, color filters used in industry use chemical pigments or dyeing reagents. However, as the display industry has developed, optical elements have become increasingly integrated, and process simplification has been required, new alternative technologies have been developed.
The colorful colors of peacock feathers found in nature and the lingering colors of butterfly wings are not the colors caused by chemical factors such as dye or dyeing but the color expressed by scattering light because the surface structure is nano-sized. This is called "structural color" and many studies have been conducted on it.
Nano-sized gratings vary in their optical characteristics depending on the structural size, such as the distance between the gratings, the diameter and the height or depth of one grating. There are also studies to improve the efficiency by generating plasmonic phenomenon through a complex structure of metal and dielectric materials used for patterning in nano-size.
Strain sensors are generally developed using optical fibers. A Bragg diffraction grating is formed inside the optical fiber, and then the light is irradiated to one end of the optical fiber to analyze the spectrum of the light that is deformed at the opposite side.

Guided-mode resonance is a phenomenon that the guiding mode of an optical waveguide can be excited by a phase-matching device. A linear grating pattern of silicon material formed on the surface of the glass substrate can operate as a color filter. A color filter can be realized by using only a dielectric material having a high refractive index to make a nano grating structure.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a linear grating pattern having a high refractive index is buried in a stretchable transparent material film having a low refractive index. The film of such a structure can be contracted / stretched by an external force. Such a stretchability can provide a variable color filter capable of varying the wavelength band to be reflected by changing the refractive index and the grating period of the grating pattern. In order to use the variable color filter, a tensile force may be applied to the variable color filter from the outside.
