  • Electron beam evaporation is a technology of vacuum evaporation coating, which is characterized by little or no coverage on both sides of the target three-dimensional structure, usually only deposited on the surface of the target, and the prepared film is of high purity and good quality , but also can accurately control the thickness.
  • This method mainly refers to the use of electron beams to directly heat the evaporation material under vacuum conditions, so that the evaporation material is vaporized and transported to the substrate, condensed on the substrate to form a thin film, and finally forms the metal reflective layer required for the wristband.
  • Thermal evaporation is a technique of depositing a substrate on a substrate by heating a raw material to vapor in a vacuum or low pressure environment of a specific atmosphere.
  • the source material is generally powder or bulk material. Since the deposition is carried out in a low-pressure environment, the evaporation temperature is generally slightly lower than the melting point of the material. The evaporated material escapes from the material source and interacts with the gaseous environment in the cavity before condensing on the substrate. Therefore, process parameters such as evaporation temperature, substrate temperature, gas environment and pressure play an important role in achieving the desired effect.
  • Magnetron sputtering is a process in which high-energy particles bombard a solid target material to emit atoms. Because of its extremely high energy and controllable parameters, it can precisely control the crystallinity during film growth, so it can easily realize the roll-to-roll process in large-scale production, and it is one of the most commonly used deposition methods in the industry. .

  • the films prepared by this method are generally relatively dense, and the prepared microstructured films often cannot achieve high porosity. rate, but the film has a strong bond with the substrate and has better stability.
  • Electrochemical deposition means that under the action of an external electric field, a cathode and an anode form a circuit in a certain electrolyte solution, and through a redox reaction, the particles in the solution are precipitated on the surface of the cathode or anode to form a wristband.
  • Color-changing material coating This method can be uniformly deposited on various substrates with complex structures, and is usually carried out at room temperature or slightly higher than room temperature, so this method is also commonly used in the preparation of nanostructured materials.

It appears to be a reversible change in color and transparency.
  • Traditional electrochromism can be divided into two models, transmissive electrochromic devices and reflective electrochromic devices, and the color of electrochromic devices is only determined by the electronic structure and optical properties of the electrochromic itself. Therefore, the single mode and monotonic color modulation of electrochromism also become a bottleneck limiting its application range.

本申请基于并要求于2020年9月22日递交的申请号为202011004881.6、发明名称为“高亮度、饱和度、纯度的多彩电致变色结构、器件及制法”的中国专利申请的优先权。This application is based on and claims the priority of the Chinese patent application filed on September 22, 2020 with the application number 202011004881.6 and the invention titled "High Brightness, Saturation, Purity Colorful Electrochromic Structure, Device and Manufacturing Method".
技术领域technical field
本申请涉及一种多彩薄膜,具体涉及一种高亮度、饱和度、纯度的多彩电致变色结构、其制备方法及相应的多彩电致变色器件,属于光学或光电技术领域。The application relates to a colorful film, in particular to a colorful electrochromic structure with high brightness, saturation and purity, a preparation method thereof and a corresponding colorful electrochromic device, which belong to the technical field of optics or optoelectronics.
背景技术Background technique
电致变色是材料的光学属性在施加电压下发生循环可逆变化的现象,对于最常使用的智能窗,电致变色材料器件只需要满足光线透明度的调制,而在显示器件的应用领域,电致变色则是通过电压实现不同颜色的动态调控。多彩电致变色显示是在变色前后,材料表现出不一样的颜色,这在显示器件以及智能服装领域有着极强的吸引力。多彩电致变色技术以往主要是有机小分子或共轭聚合物电致变色材料在不同的氧化还原状态下能表现出不同本征颜色,这属于本征化学色的多彩电致变色。Electrochromism is a phenomenon in which the optical properties of materials undergo cyclic and reversible changes under an applied voltage. For the most commonly used smart windows, electrochromic material devices only need to meet the modulation of light transparency. In the application field of display devices, electrochromic materials Discoloration is the dynamic regulation of different colors through voltage. Colorful electrochromic display is that the material shows different colors before and after discoloration, which is extremely attractive in the field of display devices and smart clothing. In the past, multi-color electrochromic technology mainly used organic small molecule or conjugated polymer electrochromic materials to exhibit different intrinsic colors in different redox states, which belongs to the multi-color electrochromic of intrinsic chemical colors.
而在自然界中,关于颜色的分类主要分两大类,一种是化学色,另一种是物理色。物理色又称为结构色,结构色是物体特殊的组织结构使光发生色散、散射、干涉和衍射等现象而产生的视觉效果,它与色素着色无关,利用不褪色和虹彩效应等优点可以制作隐身材料、防伪纸币、仿生材料等。In nature, the classification of colors is mainly divided into two categories, one is chemical color, the other is physical color. Physical color is also known as structural color. Structural color is the visual effect caused by the phenomenon of dispersion, scattering, interference and diffraction of light caused by the special organizational structure of the object. It has nothing to do with pigment coloring. Stealth materials, anti-counterfeiting banknotes, bionic materials, etc.
近年来,研究学者发现:将电致变色材料和结构色通过某种方式相结合,可以使电致变色材料表现出和其本征颜色不一样的结构色。结构色融合的电致变色可以克服一些电致变色材料颜色单调的缺点而实现多彩的电致变色显示。但是目前为止,多彩薄膜的颜色饱和度不高,或亮度有待提高,又或是色域较小,这种结构色的应用很难满足大众的需求。因此,如何对多彩电致变色结构的工作电极进行优化,寻求一种制备具有高亮度、饱和度、纯度的多彩薄膜的新技术,已然成为业界研究人员长期以来一直努力的方向。In recent years, researchers have found that by combining electrochromic materials and structural colors in some way, electrochromic materials can exhibit structural colors that are different from their intrinsic colors. Structural color fusion electrochromic can overcome the shortcoming of monotonous color of some electrochromic materials and realize colorful electrochromic display. However, so far, the color saturation of the colorful film is not high, or the brightness needs to be improved, or the color gamut is small, and the application of such structural colors is difficult to meet the needs of the public. Therefore, how to optimize the working electrode of colorful electrochromic structure and seek a new technology to prepare colorful thin films with high brightness, saturation and purity has become the direction that researchers in the industry have been working on for a long time.

1.电子束蒸发法1. Electron beam evaporation method
电子束蒸发法是真空蒸发镀膜的一种技术,它的特点是很少或不会在目标三维结构的两侧覆盖,通常只会沉积在目标的表面,且制备出的薄膜纯度高、质量好,还可以准确的控制厚度。这种方法主要是指在真空条件下利用电子束进行直接加热蒸发材料,使蒸发材料气化并向基板输运,在基底上凝结形成薄膜,最后形成腕带所需要的金属反射层。Electron beam evaporation is a technology of vacuum evaporation coating, which is characterized by little or no coverage on both sides of the target three-dimensional structure, usually only deposited on the surface of the target, and the prepared film is of high purity and good quality , but also can accurately control the thickness. This method mainly refers to the use of electron beams to directly heat the evaporation material under vacuum conditions, so that the evaporation material is vaporized and transported to the substrate, condensed on the substrate to form a thin film, and finally forms the metal reflective layer required for the wristband.
2.热蒸镀法2. Thermal evaporation method
热蒸镀是在真空或者特定气氛的低压环境中通过将原材料加热成蒸汽在基底上沉积的技术。在沉积时,源材料一般为粉末或块状材料,由于沉积在低气压的环境中进行,蒸发温度一般略低于材料的熔点。蒸发后的材料从材料源逸出,到基底上冷凝之前与腔内的气体环境相互作用。因此工艺参数如蒸发温度、衬底温度、气体环境和压强等对达到理想的效果有着重要的作用。Thermal evaporation is a technique of depositing a substrate on a substrate by heating a raw material to vapor in a vacuum or low pressure environment of a specific atmosphere. During deposition, the source material is generally powder or bulk material. Since the deposition is carried out in a low-pressure environment, the evaporation temperature is generally slightly lower than the melting point of the material. The evaporated material escapes from the material source and interacts with the gaseous environment in the cavity before condensing on the substrate. Therefore, process parameters such as evaporation temperature, substrate temperature, gas environment and pressure play an important role in achieving the desired effect.
3.磁控溅射法3. Magnetron sputtering
磁控溅射是一种利用高能粒子轰击固体靶材料使其发射出原子的过程。因为它具有极高的能量和可控的参数,可以精确控制薄膜生长过程中的结晶度,因此能够很容易地实现大规模生产中的滚对滚工艺,是工业上最常用的沉积方法之一。沉积过程中可调整的工艺参数包括溅射的功率、基底的材质和温度、气体的成分含量和压强,这种方法制备得到的薄膜一般相对致密,制备的微结构薄膜往往无法实现较高的孔隙率,但是薄膜与衬底的结合力强,具有更好的稳定性。Magnetron sputtering is a process in which high-energy particles bombard a solid target material to emit atoms. Because of its extremely high energy and controllable parameters, it can precisely control the crystallinity during film growth, so it can easily realize the roll-to-roll process in large-scale production, and it is one of the most commonly used deposition methods in the industry. . The process parameters that can be adjusted during the deposition process include the power of sputtering, the material and temperature of the substrate, the component content and pressure of the gas. The films prepared by this method are generally relatively dense, and the prepared microstructured films often cannot achieve high porosity. rate, but the film has a strong bond with the substrate and has better stability.
4.电化学沉积法4. Electrochemical deposition method
电化学沉积是指在外电场作用下,在一定的电解质溶液中由阴极和阳极构成回路,通过发生氧化还原反应,使溶液中的粒子沉淀到阴极或者阳极的表面而形成腕带所需要的电致变色材料镀层。这种方法能够在各种结构复杂的基底上均匀沉积,且通常在室温或稍高于室温 的条件下进行,故这种方法也常用于纳米结构材料的制备。Electrochemical deposition means that under the action of an external electric field, a cathode and an anode form a circuit in a certain electrolyte solution, and through a redox reaction, the particles in the solution are precipitated on the surface of the cathode or anode to form a wristband. Color-changing material coating. This method can be uniformly deposited on various substrates with complex structures, and is usually carried out at room temperature or slightly higher than room temperature, so this method is also commonly used in the preparation of nanostructured materials.
进一步地,由电致变色材料做成的电致变色器件已经广泛应用于智能窗、智能指示器、成像设备等。电致变色的原理是在外加电场或者电流的作用下无机或有机的电致变色材料的电子结构和光学属性(反射率、透过率、吸收率等)发生稳定、可逆的变化的现象,在其外观上表现为颜色和透明度的可逆变化。传统的电致变色可分为两种模型,透过型电致变色器件和反射型电致变色器件,并且,电致变色器件的颜色仅仅只由电致变色本身的电子结构和光学属性决定。因此,电致变色的单一模式和单调颜色调制也成为了限制其应用范围的瓶颈。Further, electrochromic devices made of electrochromic materials have been widely used in smart windows, smart indicators, imaging devices, and the like. The principle of electrochromism is a phenomenon in which the electronic structure and optical properties (reflectivity, transmittance, absorptivity, etc.) of inorganic or organic electrochromic materials undergo stable and reversible changes under the action of an external electric field or current. It appears to be a reversible change in color and transparency. Traditional electrochromism can be divided into two models, transmissive electrochromic devices and reflective electrochromic devices, and the color of electrochromic devices is only determined by the electronic structure and optical properties of the electrochromic itself. Therefore, the single mode and monotonic color modulation of electrochromism also become a bottleneck limiting its application range.
