INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, a light modulating material that can be easily formed into a film by coating in an aqueous system and that can control the light transmittance in a wide range from visible light to infrared light by applying a voltage. and a light control film and a light control device using the light control material.
以下、本発明の詳細を説明する。
The details of the present invention will be described below.
本発明の調光材料は、ポリスチレンスルホン酸及びポリスチレンスルホン酸誘導体のうち少なくとも一方を含む。従って、本発明の調光材料は、ポリスチレンスルホン酸又はポリスチレンスルホン酸誘導体をそれぞれ単独で含んでいてもよいし、ポリスチレンスルホン酸及びポリスチレンスルホン酸誘導体の双方を含んでいてもよい。
The light modulating material of the present invention contains at least one of polystyrenesulfonic acid and polystyrenesulfonic acid derivatives. Therefore, the light modulating material of the present invention may contain either polystyrenesulfonic acid or polystyrenesulfonic acid derivative alone, or may contain both polystyrenesulfonic acid and polystyrenesulfonic acid derivative.
本発明の調光材料は、ポリスチレンスルホン酸及びポリスチレンスルホン酸誘導体のうち少なくとも一方を含むので、水系での塗工により簡便に成膜することができ、しかも電圧を印加することにより、可視光から赤外光までの幅広い領域における光線透過率を制御できる。
Since the light modulating material of the present invention contains at least one of polystyrenesulfonic acid and a polystyrenesulfonic acid derivative, it can be easily formed into a film by coating in an aqueous system, and furthermore, by applying a voltage, it can be converted from visible light to It is possible to control light transmittance in a wide range up to infrared light.
従来、エレクトロクロミック調光材料として、ニッケル酸化物や酸化タングステン等の無機材料や、ポリチオフェン等の導電性ポリマーが知られている。しかしながら、無機材料を用いた調光材料は、蒸着法やスパッタリング法により成膜されることが多く、チャンバー等の大掛かりな装置が必要となり、製造コストの面からも好ましくないという問題がある。また、ポリチオフェン等の導電性ポリマーは、水に溶解し難い場合が多いことから、有機溶剤を用いなければ塗工することが難しく、環境的側面から好ましくないという問題がある。
Conventionally, inorganic materials such as nickel oxide and tungsten oxide, and conductive polymers such as polythiophene have been known as electrochromic light control materials. However, light modulating materials using inorganic materials are often formed by vapor deposition or sputtering, which requires a large-scale apparatus such as a chamber, which is undesirable in terms of manufacturing costs. Further, since conductive polymers such as polythiophene are often difficult to dissolve in water, it is difficult to apply them unless an organic solvent is used, which is undesirable from an environmental point of view.
これに対して、本発明者らは、ポリスチレンスルホン酸やポリスチレンスルホン酸誘導体が、エレクトロクロミック特性を発現し、調光材料として用い得ることを見出した。すなわち、ポリスチレンスルホン酸やポリスチレンスルホン酸誘導体そのものに、電圧を印加すると、可視光から赤外光までの幅広い領域における光線透過率を制御できることを見出した。
In contrast, the present inventors found that polystyrene sulfonic acid and polystyrene sulfonic acid derivatives exhibit electrochromic properties and can be used as light modulating materials. That is, the present inventors have found that by applying a voltage to polystyrene sulfonic acid or a polystyrene sulfonic acid derivative itself, it is possible to control light transmittance in a wide range from visible light to infrared light.
また、ポリスチレンスルホン酸や、ポリスチレンスルホン酸塩などのポリスチレンスルホン酸誘導体は、水への溶解度が高いことから、水系での塗工により簡便に成膜することができる。そのため、ハンドリング性に優れ、しかも蒸着法やスパッタリング法のようにチャンバー等の大掛かりな装置を必要とせず、製造コストを低減することができる。また、有機溶剤を使用せずとも塗工することができるので、環境的側面からも好適に用いることができる。
In addition, since polystyrene sulfonic acid and polystyrene sulfonic acid derivatives such as polystyrene sulfonate have high solubility in water, they can be easily formed into films by coating in an aqueous system. Therefore, it is excellent in handleability and does not require a large-scale apparatus such as a chamber as in the vapor deposition method or the sputtering method, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Moreover, since coating can be performed without using an organic solvent, it can be used favorably from an environmental point of view.
ポリスチレンスルホン酸塩としては、特に限定されず、例えば、ポリスチレンスルホン酸ナトリウムや、ポリスチレンスルホン酸リチウム、ポリスチレンスルホン酸アンモニウム等を用いることができる。なかでも、ポリスチレンスルホン酸塩としては、汎用性の高い、ポリスチレンスルホン酸ナトリウムを用いることが好ましい。

In addition, (meth)acryl means methacryl or acryl.

以下、図面を参照しつつ、本発明の具体的な実施形態を説明する。 (dimmer device)
Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る調光デバイスを示す模式的正面断面図である。
FIG. 1 is a schematic front cross-sectional view showing a light control device according to one embodiment of the present invention.
図1に示すように、調光デバイス1は、第1の電極2、第2の電極3、電解質層4、及び調光材料層5を備える。本実施形態では、第1の電極2上に、電解質層4が設けられている。電解質層4上に、調光材料層5が設けられている。また、調光材料層5上に、第2の電極3が設けられている。
As shown in FIG. 1 , the light modulating device 1 includes a first electrode 2 , a second electrode 3 , an electrolyte layer 4 and a light modulating material layer 5 . In this embodiment, an electrolyte layer 4 is provided on the first electrode 2 . A light modulating material layer 5 is provided on the electrolyte layer 4 . A second electrode 3 is provided on the light modulating material layer 5 .
第1の電極2及び第2の電極3としては、例えば、ITO等の透明電極を用いることができる。第1の電極2及び第2の電極3は、同じ材料により構成されていてもよく、異なる材料により構成されていてもよい。なお、第1の電極2及び第2の電極3は、ガラス基板等の支持体上に設けられた導電膜であってもよい。
As the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3, for example, transparent electrodes such as ITO can be used. The first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 may be made of the same material or may be made of different materials. The first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 may be conductive films provided on a support such as a glass substrate.
電解質層4は、電解質溶液により構成されていてもよいし、固体電解質により構成されていてもよい。電解質溶液としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、エチレンカーボネート(EC)や、ジメチルカーボネート(DMC)、プロピレンカーボネート(PC)等を溶媒とし、LiPF6等を含む電解質溶液を用いることができる。
The electrolyte layer 4 may be composed of an electrolyte solution, or may be composed of a solid electrolyte. Although the electrolyte solution is not particularly limited, for example, an electrolyte solution containing LiPF 6 or the like in a solvent such as ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), or propylene carbonate (PC) can be used.
調光材料層5は、上述した本発明の調光材料を含む調光フィルムである。調光材料層5は、例えば、上記調光材料を含む水溶液をスピンコート等の塗布方法によって、第2の電極3上に塗布することにより形成することができる。
The light control material layer 5 is a light control film containing the light control material of the present invention described above. The light modulating material layer 5 can be formed, for example, by coating an aqueous solution containing the light modulating material on the second electrode 3 by a coating method such as spin coating.
上記のように構成された調光デバイス1に電圧を印加することにより、各波長における光線透過率が変化する。なお、本実施形態においては、第1の電極2を作用極(還元側、プラス極)とし、第2の電極3が対極(酸化側、マイナス極)となるように電圧を印加するものとする。従って、本実施形態において、調光材料層5は、電解質層4に対し、対極側に設けられている。
By applying a voltage to the light control device 1 configured as described above, the light transmittance at each wavelength changes. In this embodiment, a voltage is applied so that the first electrode 2 is the working electrode (reduction side, positive electrode) and the second electrode 3 is the counter electrode (oxidation side, negative electrode). . Therefore, in this embodiment, the light modulating material layer 5 is provided on the opposite electrode side of the electrolyte layer 4 .
通常、ポリチオフェン等を調光材料に用いた調光材料層は、電解質層に対し、作用極側に設けられている。これに対して、本発明者らは、ポリスチレンスルホン酸やポリスチレンスルホン酸誘導体を調光材料に用いた調光材料層5では、電解質層4に対し、作用極側ではなく、対極側に設けることにより、エレクトロクロミック特性が発現されることを見出した。
Normally, a light modulating material layer using polythiophene or the like as a light modulating material is provided on the working electrode side with respect to the electrolyte layer. In contrast, the present inventors have found that the light modulating material layer 5 using polystyrene sulfonic acid or a polystyrene sulfonic acid derivative as the light modulating material is provided on the counter electrode side of the electrolyte layer 4 rather than on the working electrode side. It was found that electrochromic properties were expressed by
このように、本実施形態では、水系での塗工により簡便に調光材料層5を成膜して、調光デバイス1を得ることができる。また、調光デバイス1では、電圧を印加することにより、可視光から赤外光までの幅広い領域における光線透過率を制御することができる。
Thus, in this embodiment, the light control device 1 can be obtained by simply forming the light control material layer 5 by coating with a water system. In addition, the light control device 1 can control light transmittance in a wide range from visible light to infrared light by applying a voltage.
以下、実施例により本発明をさらに具体的に説明するが、本発明はこれらの実施例によって何ら限定されるものではなく、その要旨を変更しない範囲において適宜変更可能である。
The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited by these Examples, and can be appropriately modified within the scope of not changing the gist of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the transmission spectrum of the light control device of Example 1 when the voltage is applied while changing from 0V to 3.0V. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing transmission spectra when a voltage is applied while changing from 0 V to 3.0 V in the light control device of Reference Example 1. FIG.
図3に示すように、調光材料としてポリスチレンスルホン酸誘導体を用いることにより、電圧印加後に可視光領域の全域及び赤外領域にわたり、透過率が小さくなっていることがわかる。なお、図3及び図4の比較より、電解質層24に対し、対極側に調光材料層25を設けることにより、上記のようなエレクトロクロミック特性が発現されていることがわかる。
As shown in FIG. 3, by using a polystyrene sulfonic acid derivative as a light modulating material, the transmittance is reduced over the entire visible light region and the infrared region after voltage application. 3 and 4, by providing the light control material layer 25 on the counter electrode side of the electrolyte layer 24, the above electrochromic characteristics are exhibited.
また、実施例2~9においても、電圧印可前(印加電圧0V)、印加電圧2.5V、及び印加3.0V電圧それぞれの透過スペクトルを得た。得られた透過スペクトルから、電圧2.5V及び電圧3.0Vそれぞれの電圧を印加する前後において、波長800nm及び波長1300nmそれぞれにおける透過率の差を求めた。結果を下記の表1に示す。なお、表1において、各材料の含有量は、調光材料全体を100質量%としたときの含有量である。また、光線透過率の差は、電圧を印加する前(印加電圧0V)の透過率と、電圧2.5V及び電圧3.0Vそれぞれの電圧を印加したときの透過率との差(電圧印可前-電圧印可後)を示している。
Also, in Examples 2 to 9, transmission spectra were obtained before voltage application (applied voltage of 0 V), applied voltage of 2.5 V, and applied voltage of 3.0 V, respectively. From the obtained transmission spectrum, the difference in transmittance at a wavelength of 800 nm and a wavelength of 1300 nm was obtained before and after applying a voltage of 2.5 V and a voltage of 3.0 V, respectively. The results are shown in Table 1 below. In addition, in Table 1, the content of each material is the content when the entire light modulating material is 100% by mass. Further, the difference in light transmittance is the difference between the transmittance before voltage application (applied voltage 0 V) and the transmittance when voltages of 2.5 V and 3.0 V are applied (before voltage application - after voltage application).
表1より、実施例2~9においても、電圧印加後に、波長800nm及び波長1300nmそれぞれにおいて透過率が小さくなっていることがわかる。以上より、実施例1~9では、水系の塗工で簡便に調光材料層を成膜でき、上記のようなエレクトロクロミック特性が発現される調光デバイスが得られていることが確認できた。
From Table 1, it can be seen that in Examples 2 to 9 as well, the transmittance decreased at wavelengths of 800 nm and 1300 nm after voltage application. From the above, it was confirmed that in Examples 1 to 9, a light control material layer could be easily formed by water-based coating, and a light control device exhibiting electrochromic characteristics as described above was obtained. .
