  • Windshield glass is generally three-dimensionally curved, and in particular, the degree of curvature (curvature) of both edges in the vehicle width direction is greater than the degree of curvature of other parts. Therefore, if the window film is directly attached to the windshield glass, wrinkles will occur in the window film at both edges of the windshield glass. Therefore, in the method for attaching a window film described in Patent Document 1, a window film having a high heat shrinkage rate in the vehicle width direction is used and is attached while being heat-shrinked.

  • the cause of the shortwave shift in the reflection spectrum and deterioration of the appearance color of the reflective film is that when the reflective layer is made of liquid crystal, the material contained in the reflective layer flows into the adhesive layer when it is heated to a high temperature. It is presumed that this is because the reflected wavelength becomes shorter due to the narrower pitch interval of the helical structure of the liquid crystal in the layer. If the reflective layer is a dielectric multilayer film consisting of an optically anisotropic layer and an optically isotropic layer, or a dielectric multilayer film consisting of a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer, the film will change when heated to high temperatures. This is thought to be because the reflection wavelength becomes shorter as the film thickness of each layer becomes thinner.

Abstract

La présente invention aborde le problème consistant à fournir : un procédé permettant de produire un verre incurvé ayant un film réfléchissant, le procédé permettant d'appliquer un film réfléchissant à un verre de pare-brise sans affecter les performances optiques du film réfléchissant et tout en empêchant le film réfléchissant de plisser ; le verre incurvé ayant un film réfléchissant ; et un système d'affichage tête haute. Le procédé comprend : une étape de moulage dans laquelle un film réfléchissant comprenant un substrat, une couche de réflexion et une couche adhésive sensible à la pression dans cet ordre et présentant un degré de retrait thermique à 140 °C de 0,2 à 5 % est placé sur la surface convexe d'un verre incurvé, le substrat faisant face à la surface convexe, et le film réfléchissant est chauffé et pressé contre celui-ci à une température de 90 à 180 °C, à l'exclusion de 180 °C, et une pression égale ou supérieure à 0,01 MPa ; et une étape d'application dans laquelle le film réfléchissant est appliqué au verre incurvé, la couche adhésive sensible à la pression faisant face à la surface concave.
