- ABSTRACT [51] Int. Cl. H01S 4/00 A method of making an electret by annealing a corona [58] Field of Search 29/592, 592 E; 317/262 A; charged dielectric film on a metal plate is disclosed.
- This invention relates generally to a method of making an electret, and more particularly is directed to a method of making an electret with a single electric charge or a monocharge electret.
- a thin film electret is used as an oscillating plate or vibrating diaphragm of a microphone, speaker or the like.
- a high polymer film such as Teflon FEP (Trade name) consisting of a copolymer of tetrafluoro ethylene-hexafluoro propyrene or Teflon TEF (Trade name) is used.
- thermo-electret method a method for producing an electric charge on a dielectric material.
- a dielectric material is gripped between two electrodes and subjected to heating process to make it as an electret by a heterocharge, which is known as a socalled thermo-electret method.
- a heterocharge which is known as a socalled thermo-electret method.
- an electret which is charged with positive and negative charges on its both surfaces, is used as an electrode layer is attached to one surface of the electret and the electric charge produced on the other surface thereof is utilized.
- an electret produced by the above prior art method is employed in an ear-speaker, two of such electrets are used in such a manner that they are mounted on fixed electrodes or back electrodes with apertures to face the charges of the electrets of the same polarity or sign, and an electric conductive vibrating diaphragm is located between the two electrets at their central portions from a spacial point of view to vibrate'the vibrating diaphragm with an input signal applied to an input termi-,
- a method of making an electret in which a high polymer film with no electrode is placed on a metal table and is charged with a negative corona, and then the high polymer film is subjected to an annealing treatment to be an electret with an electric charge of a single sign or a monocharge electret.
- the film is peeled off from the metal table once, and the film is mounted on the table ,with its surface, which is charged with a positive charge, being faced to the surface of the table, and then the film is subjected to the annealing treatment to carry out a charging process with high efficiency for a short time period.
- a negative corona discharge is applied to a non-polar high polymer film disposed on a metal table, and thereafter the film is annealed to obtain a mono-charge electret film.
- a stylus electrode is disposed apart from the surface of the film by 15mm and supplied with a voltage of 4 to 8KV (kilovolts).
- a voltage of 4 to 8KV kilovolts
- the electret is, at it is, annealed at a temperature of about C to have a negative surface charge density of l09 C/cm and then peeled off from the metal table to be a monocharge electret film with a net charge as maintained.
- a monocharge electret film can be obtained for a short time period.
- FIGS. 1A to IE, inclusive are diagrams showing a process of one of the methods according to this invention.
- FIGS. 2A to 2C, inclusive, are diagrams showing a process of another of the methods of this invention.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 are respectively schematic theoretical diagrams showing head-phones used for the explanation of the invention.
- FIG. 5 is a graph showing the surface charge densitytime lapse characteristics used for the explanation of the invention.
- the two electrets 1 and 2 are used in a single transducer, and upon the manufacture thereof two dielectric films to be made as the electrets 1 and 2 are attached to the back electrodes 4 and 5, respectively, which is thereafter subjected to an electret treatment.
- an electret treatment due to the type of material used in the back electrodes. That is, there are problems of the distortion of the back electrodes and the deterioration of the adhesive used to attach the dielectric films to the back electrodes which may be caused by the heating during the electret treatment.
- a vibrating diaphragm is made as an electret.
- the vibrating diaphragm must have a monocharge that is, an electric charge of a single polarity so as to be operative as a vibrating diaphragm.
- a monocharge that is, an electric charge of a single polarity so as to be operative as a vibrating diaphragm.
- the vibrating diaphragm 7 which is made to be an electret to have, for example, only a negative charge, is centrally disposed and the back electrodes 4 and 5, each of which has formed therethrough a plurality of apertures 3, are disposed at the both sides of the diaphragm 7 in opposed relation with each other.
- the headphone becomes simple in construction.
- a dielectric film or a high polymer film 10 to be made as an electret is mounted on a metal table or plate 1 1 and a stylus electrode 12 is positioned above the high polymer film 10 apart from its upper surface 10A by a predetermined distance d.
- a predetermined high voltage is applied across the stylus electrode 12 and the metal plate 11 from a high voltage source 13 with the metal plate 11 being connected to a positive electrode while the stylus electrode 12 being connected to a negative electrode to carry out a corona discharge between the stylus electrode 12 and the high polymer film 10 and to charge the high polymer film 10 with negative charge on its upper surface 10A.
- the high polymer film 10 is peeled off from the metal plate 11. At this time, a discharge occurs between a peeled off surface 10B of the polymer film 10 and an upper surface 11A of the metal plate 11, and hence the surface 10B of the high polymer film 10 is charged with a positive charge.
- the high polymer film 10 is charged with negative and positive charges on its surfaces 10A and 10B, respectively.
- the high polymer film 10 is again placed on another metal plate 14, with the surface 10B having the positive charge being in contact with the plate, and is heated in a furnace 15 for a constant time period and then cooled.
- the metal plate 14 is grounded, as shown in FIG-1D.
- reference numeral 16 indicates a heater.
- the heating temperature is selected higher than the glass transition temperature of the high polymer film 10, for example, more than C for the case that the high polymer film 10 is made of Teflon FEP. If the heating temperature is too high, there may be a fear that the film is distorted or molten. Accordingly, it is necessary that the heating temperature is selected lower than the melting point of the film.
- an electret film 17 which is charged with the negative charge on its both surfaces 10A and 10B is produced as shown in FIG. 1E.
- the surface 10B which is charged with the positive charge before heating, is charged with the negative charge by suitably selecting the time interval of the heating, while the amount of the negative electric charge stored in the surface 10A before the heating is decreased somewhat, but the surface 10A has still the negative charge, that is, both the surfaces 10A and 10B carry the negative charge.
- the amount of initial charge by the corona discharge is much greater than can be at- .tained by the thermo electret method, and the charge where 0 represents the charge density and s the dielectric constant in vacuum.
- FIGS 2A to 2C' show another'niethod of the invention.
- the high "polymer film to be made as an electretis mounted on the metal plate 11 and the stylus electrode 1.2 is locate'dabove.
- the film 10 apart from its upper surface 10A by a predetermined distance in opposed relation-Apredetermined high voltage is applied across the .stylus electrode 12 and the metal plate 11 from the high voltage source 13 with the metal plate 11 being positivenand the stylus I electrode 12 being'negativezto produce a 'negativeelec; tric charge on the upper surface 10A of thezfilm 10 by the corona discharge (refer to,F-IG.. 2A-).

Then, the film is placed on the second metal plate 14 with its corona-discharged surface facing upward and heated at traflu'oroe- 160C fora-time interval of 20 minutes. It is ascertained by the aforedescribed measurement that the charged amount after heating is 4.7 X 10 C/cm on the corona-discharged:surface and 4.0 X 10' C/cm 5 on the surface that was-in-contact with the metal plate, that-is, both the surfaces are charged negatively. The change in the amount of the charge of the film with respect to the time lapse is shown in FIG.
- the corona-discharge is finished, the film is heated at 150C for a time interval of 1.5 hours without :the film being-peelef offfrom the metal plate 11.
