Description

一种电致变色器件 技术领域
本申请属于电致变色技术领域,涉及一种电致变色器件。
背景技术
电致变色器件的光学属性可以在外加电场的作用下发生稳定且可逆的颜色变化,其在汽车、建筑以及消费电子领域都有着非常广泛的应用。
现有技术中,一般在导电层上通过丝印预先将银浆汇流条设置在ITO上,然后在带有丝印银浆的导电层上涂布电致变色层和离子存储层,此时,需要通过擦拭去除ITO边缘处的电致变色层或离子存储层,再复合形成电致变色器件。然后在电致变色器件的周侧,去除掉电致变色层或离子存储层的表面设置密封件,以保证电致变色器件内部材料隔绝水氧。如果不擦拭直接复合,则密封件就会粘结在电致变色层或离子存储层上,而电致变色层或离子存储层的机械结构较差,很容易开裂,导致密封件容易剥落,则水汽容易从密封件剥落处进入器件内部,从而使得器件损坏。
然而,擦拭存在很多问题:(1)擦拭难度问题:为了保证电致变色薄膜的稳定性,要求电致变色层/离子存储层与ITO之间具有一定的结合力;但结合力越大,擦拭难度也就越大,例如,现有技术中的电致变色层/离子存储层一般很难擦拭干净;同时也增加了擦拭所消耗的时间,降低了产能。(2)擦拭精度问题:对于柔性基底(例如PET),现有技术中,一般采用手工擦拭,因而很难保证擦拭区和非擦拭区的边界是笔直均匀的,存在严重的擦拭精度问题。
因此,在本领域,期望提供一种可以解决擦拭问题,又能够保证具有良好水汽阻隔作用的方法。

优选地,所述光油层的宽度大于等于所述导电线的宽度,所述光油层的厚度为1μm-10μm;(例如1μm、2μm、3μm、4μm、5μm、6μm、7μm、8μm、9μm或10μm)。在本申请中,如果光油层的厚度过大,会影响器件制备时固态变色层涂布的效果,容易出现电致变色层或离子存储层难以将光油层的靠近电致变色层或离子存储层的一侧的边缘完全覆盖的问题,导致该边缘处的电致变色层或离子存储层缺失。
在本申请中,所述光油层的宽度是指光油层在沿第一导电层或第二导电层的长度方向上设置的长度。

优选地,所述导电线可以选用导电银浆、导电铜浆、导电碳浆、纳米银导电油墨、铜箔、铜丝或导电胶膜等导电材料中任意一种或至少两种的组合;也可直接采用与导电层相同的材料,且导电线处的材料厚度更大,电阻更小,从而在保证导电功能的同时,由于材料本身是透明的,可以增加产品视觉上的一致性。

在本申请中,如果导电线和光油层之间存在间隙,则间隙区可以实现变色,而间隙区两侧的光油和导电线的区域无法变色,因此在变色过程中,间隙区的变色会十分突兀,因此为减弱这种突兀的视觉效果,可使导电线和光油直接相邻并接触设置。
优选地,所述第一光油层和第二光油层分别覆盖在第一导电层上的导电线和第二导电层上的导电线上,所述第一光油层和第二光油层分别与所述第一导电层和第二导电层的边缘平齐。

本实施例中提供的电致变色器件中,所述光油层达因值减去离子存储层的浆料的表面张力得到的差值为5mN/m,所述离子存储层的浆料与光油层之间的接触角θ=30.2°。所述银线的厚度为10μm,银线的宽度为20mm,所述光油层的宽度为25mm,光油层的厚度为10μm。
该实施例的电致变色器件通过在涂布离子存储层之前,在第一透明导电层2的边缘处预先设置光油层9,使得在第一导电层上涂布离子存储层3时,由于表面张力的作用,离子存储层3在光油表面的附着力较低,使得离子存储层3虽然涂布到光油层9上,但是相较于未设置光油层的结构,擦拭难度显著降低,且准确地限定了擦拭区域的边界,避免了擦拭带来的精度问题。
为了说明光油层达因值减去离子存储层的浆料的表面张力得到的差值对于涂布效果的影响,在本实施例中选择不同的光油达因值、EC浆料/CE浆料表面张力和接触角θ进行了验证,结果如下表1所示:

实施例3
