Description

Optical filter and device using optical filter

The present invention relates to an optical filter and an apparatus using the optical filter. Specifically, the present invention relates to an optical filter containing a compound having absorption in a specific wavelength region, and a solid-state imaging device and a camera module using the optical filter.

A solid-state image pickup device such as a video camera, a digital still camera, or a mobile phone with a camera function uses a CCD or CMOS image sensor, which is a solid-state image pickup device for a color image. Silicon photodiodes that are sensitive to near infrared rays that cannot be sensed by the eyes are used. These solid-state image sensors need to be corrected for visibility so that they appear natural to the human eye. Optical filters that selectively transmit or cut light in a specific wavelength region (for example, near-infrared cut) Filter) is often used.

As such a near-infrared cut filter, those manufactured by various methods are conventionally used. For example, a near-infrared cut filter in which a transparent resin is used as a substrate and a near-infrared absorbing pigment is contained in the transparent resin is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, the near-infrared cut filter described in Patent Document 1 may not always have sufficient near-infrared absorption characteristics.

As a result of intensive studies, the applicant has used a transparent resin substrate containing a near-infrared-absorbing dye having an absorption maximum in a specific wavelength region, so that the near-infrared light has little change in optical characteristics even when the incident angle is changed. It has been found that a cut filter can be obtained, and Patent Document 2 proposes a near-infrared cut filter having both a wide viewing angle and a high visible light transmittance. Patent Document 3 discloses a near-infrared cut filter that uses a phthalocyanine dye having a specific structure to achieve both a high visible light transmittance and a long absorption maximum wavelength, both of which have been the conventional problems. It is described that can be obtained. However, in the near-infrared cut filters described in

Patent Documents

2 and 3, the applied base material has a sufficiently strong absorption band in the vicinity of 700 nm, but the near-infrared wavelength region of 900 to 1200 nm, for example. Has almost no absorption. For this reason, light in the near-infrared wavelength region is cut almost only by the reflection of the dielectric multilayer film, but in such a configuration, slight stray light due to internal reflection in the optical filter and reflection between the optical filter and the lens is obtained. However, when shooting in a dark environment, ghosts and flares may occur. In particular, in recent years, there has been a strong demand for high-quality cameras even for mobile devices such as smartphones, and conventional optical filters may not be used favorably.

On the other hand, as an optical filter using a substrate having a wide absorption in the near-infrared wavelength region, an infrared shielding filter as in Patent Document 4 has been proposed. In Patent Document 4, a broad absorption in the near-infrared wavelength region is achieved mainly by applying a compound having a dithiolene structure, but the absorption intensity near 700 nm is not sufficient. In particular, when the camera module is used under a high incident angle condition (for example, 45 degree incidence) accompanying a recent reduction in the height of the camera module, image degradation may occur due to color shading.

Further, Patent Document 5 discloses a near-infrared cut filter having a near-infrared absorbing glass substrate and a layer containing a near-infrared absorbing pigment, but the color shading is sufficiently improved even with the configuration described in Patent Document 5. (For example, FIG. 5 of Patent Document 5 shows an optical characteristic graph when incident at 0 degrees and incident at 30 degrees. However, the visible light transmission band is also observed when incident at 30 degrees. A large wavelength shift is observed in the skirt region (630 to 700 nm).

<Requirement (a)>
In the requirement (a), the component constituting the layer containing the compound (A) is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a transparent resin, a sol-gel material, a low-temperature-curing glass material, and the like. A transparent resin is preferable from the viewpoint of compatibility with A).

<< Compound (A) >>
The compound (A) is not particularly limited as long as it has a maximum absorption in the wavelength region of 650 nm or more and 760 nm or less, but is preferably a solvent-soluble dye compound, and is a squarylium compound, a phthalocyanine compound, and a cyanine compound. It is more preferable that it is at least one selected from the group consisting of compounds, it is more preferable that a squarylium compound is included, and it is particularly preferable that there are two or more compounds including a squarylium compound. When the compound (A) is two or more types including a squarylium compound, two or more types of squarylium compounds having different structures may be used, or a combination of a squarylium compound and another compound (A) may be used. As the other compound (A), a phthalocyanine compound and a cyanine compound are particularly preferable.

The squarylium-based compound has excellent visible light permeability, steep absorption characteristics, and a high molar extinction coefficient, but may generate fluorescence that causes scattered light during light absorption. In such a case, an optical filter with less scattered light and better camera image quality can be obtained by using a combination of the squarylium compound and the other compound (A).

When the difference (X ₂ −X ₁ ) is in the above range, it has an absorption band with sufficient intensity (width) in the near-infrared wavelength region close to the visible region. It is preferable because color shading can be suppressed even under such a large incident angle condition.

The value of the wavelength (X ₁ + X ₂ ) / 2 between X ₁ and X ₂ can be said to be the center wavelength of the absorption band in the near infrared wavelength region close to the visible region, preferably 670 nm or more and 740 nm or less. Is 680 nm to 730 nm, more preferably 690 nm to 720 nm. It is preferable that the value of the wavelength represented by (X ₁ + X ₂ ) / 2 be in the above range because light in the wavelength region near the long wavelength end of the visible region can be cut more efficiently.

X ₁ preferably has a wavelength of 650 nm to 720 nm, more preferably a wavelength of 655 nm to 710 nm, and still more preferably a wavelength of 660 nm to 700 nm. X ₁ in such a range is preferable because it tends to provide a camera image with less noise and excellent color reproducibility.

<Requirement (c)>
All of the transmittances (c1), (c2) and (c3) are preferably 60% or less, more preferably 55% or less, and even more preferably 50% or less.

For example, it is preferably 5% or more. It is preferable that the transmittances (c1), (c2), and (c3) are in the above ranges because a ghost suppressing effect at a practically sufficient level can be obtained.

The substrate may be a single layer or a multilayer as long as it has a layer containing the compound (A). In order to satisfy the requirement (C), the substrate preferably contains a near infrared absorber, and the near infrared absorber is contained in a different layer even if it is contained in the same layer as the compound (A).

<Requirement (f)>
The T ₁ is preferably 3% or less, more preferably 2% or less, and still more preferably 1% or less. If T ₁ is in the above range, it can be said that the transmittance cut of the absorption band is sufficient, and flare around the light source can be suppressed in the camera image, which is preferable.
