Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a transparent sheet for an optical module, a method of manufacturing the same and an optical module,

The present invention relates to a transparent sheet for an optical module, a method of manufacturing the same and an optical module, and more particularly, to a transparent sheet for an optical module capable of improving the weather resistance and power generation efficiency of the optical module, will be.

In recent years, interest in renewable energy and clean energy has increased due to global environmental problems and depletion of fossil fuels. Among them, energy using light is attracting attention as a representative pollution-free energy source that can solve environmental pollution problem and fossil fuel depletion problem. Particularly, photovoltaic cells such as solar cells are rapidly spreading in residential and industrial fields.

Photovoltaic cells are devices that convert sunlight to electrical energy, which typically require long exposure to the external environment to easily absorb sunlight, so that various packaging to protect the internal components is performed, And these units are generally referred to as optical modules.

Most optical modules, for example, optical modules such as a solar cell module, include a front member (glass or front sheet) for protecting internal components (e.g., a solar cell) back sheet.

Generally, in the case of a solar cell module, the solar cell module has a structure in which a transparent front member on which light is incident, an encapsulant layer in which a plurality of solar cell cells are encapsulated, and a back sheet are sequentially laminated. As the transparent front member, a tempered glass or a front sheet is mainly used. The plurality of solar cells are electrically connected to each other, and are packed and sealed by the sealing material layer. For example, Korean Patent No. 10-1022820 and Korean Patent Laid-open No. 10-2011-0020227 disclose the above-mentioned techniques.

The solar cell module is required to have a long life without a reduction in output over a long period of time. For the longevity improvement, the front and back sheets must be able to block water and oxygen which adversely affect the solar cell, and can prevent deterioration due to ultraviolet (UV) rays or the like.

Particularly, in the case of a front sheet positioned directly on the front surface of a solar cell module and directly receiving sunlight, a high light transmittance is required for high power generation efficiency. Further, since the front sheet is exposed to the outside for a long period of time, high weather resistance is required, and in particular, excellent ultraviolet shielding ability is required. When ultraviolet rays are transmitted, the weatherability of the solar cell as well as the front sheet itself is deteriorated.

For this purpose, in most cases, ultraviolet absorbers are used for ultraviolet ray shielding. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2006-255927 discloses a transparent protective film for a solar cell using an organic ultraviolet absorber such as benzotriazole, and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0029096 discloses a transparent protective film for zinc oxide (Front sheet) for a solar cell using a light emitting diode (LED).

When the ultraviolet absorber is used as described above, the weather resistance can be improved. However, when the ultraviolet absorber is used alone as in the prior art, there is a problem that it is difficult to show a high power generation efficiency.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technology capable of effectively shielding ultraviolet rays while at the same time minimizing the loss of weatherability and at the same time improving the power generation efficiency of solar cells.

Korean Patent No. 10-1022820 Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0020227 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-255927 Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0029096

When the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and / or the wavelength converting layer 13 exhibits pencil hardness of not less than 1H, the surface hardness is advantageous. The solar cell module to which the resin layer having excellent surface hardness is applied can prevent the surface scratch phenomenon that may occur due to exposure to the external environment.

The transparent sheet 10 according to the present invention may have a multilayer structure of two or more layers. The transparent sheet 10 according to the present invention has a multilayer structure and can include, for example, a base layer 11, an ultraviolet barrier layer 12 formed on the base layer 11, and a wavelength conversion layer 13 have. At this time, the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and the wavelength conversion layer 13 may be adjacent to each other or may be formed with the base material 11 therebetween. These layers 11, 12, and 13 are all transparent. In the present invention, transparency may mean that the irradiated light (visible light) exhibits a light transmittance of, for example, at least 50%, for example at least 60%, or at least 80%, for example, on a vertical line. The higher the light transmittance is, the better the upper limit is, but the limit is not limited, but it may be 99.9%, 99%, or 98% or less, for example.

Fig. 1 illustrates an example in which the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and the wavelength conversion layer 13 are formed on both surfaces of a base layer 11 as an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the transparent sheet 10 according to the present invention comprises, in accordance with one exemplary embodiment, a base layer 11; An ultraviolet blocking layer 12 formed on one side surface (upper surface in FIG. 1) of the base layer 11; And a wavelength conversion layer 13 formed on the other side of the substrate layer 11 (the lower surface in FIG. 1).

The laminated structure of the transparent sheet 10 according to the present invention is not limited. The transparent sheet 10 according to the present invention may further include one or two or more other functional transparent layers including the base layer 11, the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and the wavelength converting layer 13 have.

Further, in the present invention, the base layer 11, the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and the wavelength conversion layer 13 may be in direct contact with each other, or intervening layers may be interposed therebetween. A primer layer (not shown) may be formed between the substrate layer 11 and the ultraviolet blocking layer 12, and between the base layer 11 and the wavelength conversion layer 13, for example. At this time, the primer layer includes a substrate layer 11; And the interlayer adhesion force between the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and the wavelength conversion layer 13, and may include resin adhesives such as acryl-based, urethane-based, epoxy-based and polyolefin-based resins.

Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of each component constituting the transparent sheet 10 according to the present invention will be described.

The base layer 11 is not particularly limited as long as it is transparent. The substrate layer 11 may be formed of various materials known in the art, and may be appropriately selected depending on the required functions and applications. The base layer 11 may be selected from a polymer film and the like in one example. Specific examples of the base layer 11 include a single sheet such as a polyester film, an acrylic film, a polyolefin film, a polyamide film and a polyurethane film, a laminated sheet, or a pneumatic article.

The base layer 11 may comprise a polyester resin composed of a polymer film and favorable in terms of heat resistance and the like as a base resin, according to an exemplary embodiment. Examples of the polyester resin include at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) But is not limited thereto. The substrate layer 11 may be selected as a polyolefin-based film, according to another exemplary embodiment. At this time, the polyolefin film is, for example, a polypropylene (PP) film. The base layer 11 is preferably a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film in one example.

The base layer 11 may be subjected to an adhesion strengthening treatment for improving adhesion to the ultraviolet ray blocking layer 12 and / or the wavelength conversion layer 13. For example, high frequency spark discharge treatment such as corona treatment or plasma treatment is applied to one surface or both surfaces of the substrate layer 11; Heat treatment; Flame treatment; Anchor treatment; Coupling agent treatment; Surface treatment such as primer treatment or chemical activation treatment using gaseous Lewis acid (ex. BF3), sulfuric acid or high temperature sodium hydroxide can be performed. The surface treatment method may be performed by any well-known means commonly used in the general industrial field. The bonding strength between the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and the wavelength conversion layer 13 can be improved through the surface treatment as described above.

In addition, an inorganic vapor deposition layer may be formed on one side or both sides of the substrate layer 11 from the standpoint of further improving moisture barrier properties and the like. The kind of the inorganic substance is not particularly limited and can be adopted without limitation as long as it has a moisture barrier property. For example, silicon oxide or aluminum oxide can be used. The method of forming the inorganic vapor deposition layer on one side or both sides of the substrate layer 11 is not particularly limited and may be, for example, vapor deposition. In the case where the inorganic vapor deposition layer is formed on one surface or both surfaces of the substrate layer 11 as described above, the above-described surface treatment may be performed on the vapor deposition layer after the inorganic vapor deposition layer is formed on the surface of the substrate layer 11 . That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the spark discharge treatment, the flame treatment, the coupling agent treatment, the anchorage treatment, or the chemical activation treatment described above is performed to further improve the adhesive force on the vapor deposition layer formed on the base layer 11 .

The thickness of the base layer 11 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, in the range of about 20 탆 to 1000 탆, or about 50 탆 to 300 탆. By adjusting the thickness of the base layer 11 to the same range as described above, it is possible to improve the electrical insulating property, moisture barrier property, mechanical property, handling property, and the like of the transparent sheet 10. In the present invention, the thickness of the base layer 11 is not limited to the above-mentioned range, and it can be suitably adjusted as required.

The ultraviolet barrier layer 12 and the wavelength conversion layer 13 may be selected from a coating layer and / or a film layer. Specifically, the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and the wavelength converting layer 13 may be formed by bonding a film on the base layer 11, or by coating and curing the composition. At this time, when the UV blocking layer 12 and / or the wavelength conversion layer 13 is a film, it may be bonded onto the base layer 11 through an adhesive, or may be bonded by thermal fusion (thermal lamination) or the like.

The UV blocking layer 12 comprises at least an ultraviolet curable monomer or oligomer; And ultraviolet absorber are cured to form.

The wavelength conversion layer (13) comprises at least an ultraviolet curable monomer or oligomer; And a wavelength converting material that converts the wavelength absorbed from the light to a wavelength higher than the absorbed wavelength is formed by curing. The surface hardness of the ultraviolet ray blocking layer 12 and the wavelength conversion layer 13 can be increased and excellent scratch resistance can be secured by using an ultraviolet ray hardening monomer or an oligomer for forming the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and the wavelength converting layer 13 .

The ultraviolet curable monomer or oligomer contained in the composition for forming the ultraviolet blocking layer 12 and the wavelength converting layer 13 may be a conventional ultraviolet curable monomer or oligomer known in the art as long as it is a substance that is cured by irradiation with ultraviolet light. It is available without limit.

For example, the UV-curable monomer may comprise a polyfunctional (meth) acrylate-based compound. The polyfunctional (meth) acrylate compounds include, but are not limited to, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, trimethylolpropaneethoxy triacrylate, glycerin propoxylated triacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, Acrylate, dipentaerythritol tetraacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, urethane acrylate, ester acrylate, dipentaerythritol triacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, dipentaerythritol tetraacrylate, , Epoxy acrylate, ether acrylate, and ethylene oxide (EO) modified compounds thereof, and the like. From the viewpoint of improving the surface hardness of the transparent sheet, a compound having a large number of functional groups per molecular weight such as pentaerythritol triacrylate or dipentaerythritol tetraacrylate is preferable.

The ultraviolet absorber of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it absorbs ultraviolet rays to have an ultraviolet shielding function. For example, the ultraviolet absorber may be selected from materials capable of absorbing an ultraviolet wavelength of about 400 nm or less, more specifically about 100 to 400 nm, and may be selected from, for example, organic, inorganic or reactive ultraviolet absorbers . Among these, a reactive ultraviolet absorber having a reactive group capable of copolymerizing with the ultraviolet curable monomer and / or oligomer is preferable.

By using a reactive ultraviolet absorber having a reactive group capable of copolymerizing with the ultraviolet curable monomer and / or oligomer, the ultraviolet curable monomer and / or oligomer; And the ultraviolet absorber can be increased to have a higher light transmittance and a lower haze value to ensure physical properties such as transparency and at the same time to enhance ultraviolet shielding ability and to secure properties such as weather resistance .

In one embodiment, the ultraviolet absorber may be a compound represented by the following formula (1).

m represents an integer of 1 to 3;

In one embodiment, the ultraviolet absorber may be 2- (2'-hydroxy-5'-methacryloxyethylphenyl) -2H-benzotriazole.

In one embodiment, the composition forming the ultraviolet barrier layer may comprise 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of the ultraviolet absorber per 100 parts by weight of the ultraviolet curable monomer or oligomer. When the amount of the ultraviolet absorber is less than 0.1 part by weight, the ultraviolet absorbing ability depending on the content thereof may be insignificant. If it exceeds 30 parts by weight, for example, it may not be preferable because of the mechanical properties and transparency of the ultraviolet barrier layer 12. Considering this point, the ultraviolet absorber may be contained in an amount of 0.2 to 25 parts by weight, 0.2 to 20 parts by weight, or 0.5 to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the ultraviolet curable monomer or oligomer.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the wavelength conversion material included in the composition for forming the wavelength conversion layer is not limited as long as it is a material that converts the wavelength absorbed from light (e.g., sunlight) to a wavelength higher than the absorbed wavelength . Specifically, the wavelength converting material is not particularly limited as long as it absorbs a wavelength (short wavelength) of a predetermined region and is capable of converting the absorbed wavelength (short wavelength) into a wavelength (long wavelength) higher than that and emitting the wavelength. In one example, the wavelength converting material can be selected from materials that absorb wavelengths below 600 nm and convert to wavelengths above 400 nm. The wavelength converting material may be, for example, a material that absorbs a wavelength of about 100 nm to 600 nm and converts it to a wavelength of about 400 nm to 1200 nm, or a material that absorbs a wavelength of about 300 nm to 600 nm and converts the wavelength to about 400 nm to 800 nm . In general, most solar cells are sensitive to wavelengths from about 400 nm to 1,200 nm. Accordingly, the solar cell mainly absorbs light in the wavelength range and generates electricity. Therefore, it is difficult to show high power generation efficiency due to low sensitivity of solar cell in short wavelength. Particularly in the case of a crystalline silicon solar cell or the like. In addition, the sensitivity of the solar cell increases as it goes to a longer wavelength even within the above wavelength range. At this time, a high reaction sensitivity means that the light of the corresponding wavelength is absorbed at a high absorption rate, which means that the power generation efficiency is increased eventually. In addition, high efficiency is not obtained because the wavelength is high, and most solar cells exhibit high efficiency in a wavelength range of about 400 nm to 1200 nm or about 400 nm to 800 nm.

Accordingly, when the wavelength conversion material is included, the weatherability of the solar cell is improved and the power generation efficiency is improved. Specifically, ultraviolet rays are absorbed by the wavelength converting material, and deterioration of the base material 11 and the solar cell C (see Fig. 2) due to the transmission of ultraviolet rays is prevented. Further, the wavelength converting material absorbs a short wavelength (600 nm or less, 100 nm to 600 nm or 300 nm to 600 nm) having a low reaction sensitivity to a solar cell or the like and then converts the wavelength converting material into a long wavelength (400 nm to 1200 nm or 400 nm to 800 nm) As the power is converted and released, the power generation efficiency is improved.

On the other hand, when the wavelength conversion material is converted into a wavelength that is too high, the temperature may increase, which may be undesirable. That is, when the conversion rate to the infrared wavelength is high, the temperature of the solar cell C or the installation structure (electronic device, etc.) around the module can be increased. Accordingly, it is preferable that the wavelength converting material is selected from a substance capable of converting a wavelength of visible light to a wavelength of near infrared rays (about 800 nm or less) and emitting a large amount of visible light.

Further, in one embodiment, the wavelength converting material may be selected from a material that absorbs a wavelength not overlapping with an absorption wavelength of the ultraviolet absorbing agent. In the present invention, the fact that the absorption wavelength of the ultraviolet absorbing agent does not overlap with the absorption wavelength of the wavelength converting material means that the range of the absorption wavelength of the ultraviolet absorbing agent and the absorption wavelength range of the wavelength converting material are not completely equal. The range of the absorption wavelength of the ultraviolet absorber is limited to a range in which the substrate is not damaged and the wavelength of the other range is absorbed by using the wavelength converting material so that damage of the substrate is prevented and light in a wide wavelength range can be absorbed have.

According to a more specific embodiment, the ultraviolet absorber absorbs ultraviolet light having a wavelength in the range of 200 to 400 nm, and the wavelength converting material has a wavelength not overlapping with the absorption wavelength of the ultraviolet absorber, for example, 300 to 600 nm And may be selected from materials that absorb wavelengths.

In one embodiment, the wavelength converting material may include at least one selected from fluorescent materials such as a naphthalimide-based compound, a metal-organic compound, and a perylene-based compound.

The wavelength converting material as described above has a high light absorbing ability and absorbs a short wavelength (600 nm or less, 100 nm to 600 nm or 300 nm to 600 nm) to produce a long wavelength (400 nm or more, 400 nm to 1200 nm, 400 nm to 800 nm), which is useful in the present invention.

However, all of which are light absorption capacity and the wavelength conversion efficiency is low, The absorbed light can be converted into light of a too high wavelength (infrared ray). In contrast, among the wavelength conversion materials listed above, naphthalimide-based compounds and metal-organic complexes (for example, compounds represented by Chemical Formulas 2 and 3) have a short wavelength (600 nm or less, (300 nm to 600 nm), and the wavelength absorbed is converted into a long wavelength (400 nm or more, 400 nm to 1200 nm, or 400 nm to 800 nm) in a range of high response sensitivity to a solar cell or the like, ultimately improving the power generation efficiency of a solar cell .
