Definitions
- a near-infrared absorbing glass which exhibits excellent transmittance of light in the visible region (the violet region to the red region) and near-infrared cutting performance even if the thickness of the glass is reduced and which can suppress a decrease in weathering resistance.
- a near-infrared cut filter comprised of the above near-infrared absorbing glass.
- the term “near-infrared absorbing glass” means a glass having the property of absorbing at least light in all or part of the near-infrared wavelength region (wavelengths of 700 to 1200 nm).
- the near-infrared absorbing glass according to one aspect of the present invention can be an oxide glass because the glass contains O ions as constituent ions.
- An oxide glass is a glass in which the main network-forming components of the glass are oxides.
- the near-infrared absorbing glass according to one aspect of the present invention can be a phosphate glass because the glass contains O ions (anions) and P ions (cations) as constituent ions.
- O ions are anions of oxygen atoms, and are commonly referred to as oxide ions.
- the valency of Cu is +2 in order for O 2 ⁇ and Cu contained in the chemical formula of the oxide CuO to be electrically neutral.
- the above glass contains at least O ions as anions, and the content thereof is 90.0 anion % or more in the glass composition indicated by anion %.
- the present inventors considered that if the O/P ratio is lowered in a glass containing mainly O ions as anions as described above, absorption by CuO in the red region can be shifted to the long wavelength side, and it is therefore possible to increase the content of CuO and improve near-infrared cutting performance without lowering the transmittance of light in the red region.
- the content of O ions in the glass composition if expressed in terms of anion %, is 90.0% or more, preferably 95.0% or more, more preferably 98.0% or more, and further preferably 99.0% or more.
- O(P) denotes the amount of oxygen that constitutes the oxide of P ions in the oxide-based glass composition
- O(others) denotes the amount of oxygen determined by subtracting the value of O(P) from the amount of oxygen that constitutes the oxides of the main cations already mentioned in Glass 3 in the oxide-based glass composition
- Cu denotes the content of CuO on a molar basis in the oxide-based glass composition.
- the content of CuO in the oxide-based glass composition is preferably 10.0% or more, and is more preferably 10.5% or more, 11.0% or more, 11.5% or more, 12.0% or more, 12.5% or more, 13.0% or more, 13.5% or more, 14.0% or more, 14.5% or more, 15.0% or more, 15.5% or more, 16.0% or more, 16.5% or more, 17.0% or more, 17.5% or more, 18.0% or more, 18.5% or more, 19.0% or more, 19.5% or more, or 20.0% or more in that order.
- the total content (Al 2 O 3 +La 2 O 3 +Y 2 O 3 +Gd 2 O 3 ) is preferably 8.0% or less, and is more preferably 7.0% or less, 6.5% or less, 6.0% or less, 5.5% or less, 5.0% or less, 4.5% or less, 4.0% or less, 3.5% or less, 3.0% or less, 2.5% or less, 2.0% or less, 1.5% or less or 1.0% or less in that order.
- the total content of MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO, which are oxides of cations having a nominal valency of +2 is preferably such that the molar ratio relative to the content of Li 2 O ((MgO+CaO+SrO+BaO)/Li 2 O), which is an oxide of Li ions, which are essential cations, is 2.0 or less, and is more preferably 1.5 or less, 1.3 or less, 1.2 or less, 1.1 or less, 1.0 or less, 0.9 or less, 0.8 or less, 0.7 or less, 0.6 or less, 0.5 or less, 0.4 or less, 0.3 or less or 0.2 or less.
- the components mentioned above are optional components that can be used together with some alkali components in order to adjust the half value.
- the total content of Na 2 O, K 2 O and ZnO is preferably 30.0% or less, and is more preferably 25.0% or less, 20.0% or less, 15.0% or less, 12.0% or less, 10.0% or less, 9.0% or less, 8.0% or less, 7.0% or less, 6.0% or less, 5.0% or less, 4.0% or less, 3.0% or less, 2.0% or less, or 1.0% or less in that order.
- the expression “(3 ⁇ Al 2 O 3 +Y 2 O 3 +La 2 O 3 +Gd 2 O 3 +BaO/3+(CaO+SrO)/6)” is the sum of a value calculated by multiplying the content of Al 2 O 3 by 3, the content of Y 2 O 3 , the content of La 2 O 3 , the content of Gd 2 O 3 , a value calculated by dividing the content of BaO by 3, and a value calculated by dividing the sum of the content of CaO and the content of SrO by 6, and units for the thus calculated value are % (mol %).
- the content of CeO 2 is also expressed as an outer percentage. That is, if the total content as oxides of all glass components other than CeO 2 , Sb 2 O 3 , SnO 2 and SO 3 is taken to be 100.0 mass %, the content of CeO 2 is preferably less than 2.0 mass % or less than 1.0 mass %, and is more preferably 0.9 mass % or less, 0.8 mass % or less, 0.7 mass % or less, 0.6 mass % or less, 0.5 mass % or less, 0.4 mass % or less, 0.3 mass % or less, 0.2 mass % or less or less than 0.1 mass % in that order.
- the content of CeO 2 may be 0 mass %. If the content of CeO 2 falls within the range mentioned above, it is possible to improve the clarity of the glass.
- the above glass is suitable for use as a glass for a near-infrared cut filter.
- transmittance means external transmittance including reflection losses, unless explicitly indicated otherwise.
- the above near-infrared cut filter can exhibit both excellent near-infrared cutting performance and high transmittance of light in the visible region. According to this near-infrared cut filter, the color sensitivity of a semiconductor image element can be favorably corrected.
