The present application relates to the technical field of glass, and in particular to a near-infrared light absorbing glass.
In recent years, the spectral sensitivity of semiconductor imaging elements such as CCD, CMOS used in digital cameras, camera phones, and VTR cameras, has spread from the visible range to the near-infrared range; using an optical filter that absorbs light in the near-infrared range can achieve a sensitivity similar to that of human vision. The visible light wavelength range perceptible to the human eye is between 400 and 700 nm. Therefore, by using an optical filter that absorbs near-infrared light, it is possible to obtain images with brightness factors similar to those perceived by human eyes. As the demand for color sensitivity correction filters continues to grow, there is a corresponding increase in the requirements for near-infrared light absorbing glass used in the production of such filters. This glass is required to have excellent transmission properties in the visible range, and excellent absorption properties in the near-infrared range. The near-infrared light absorbing glass in the prior art usually includes a large amount of fluorine (F−), such as Chinese patent CN102656125A. When it includes a large amount of fluorine, the fluorine will volatilize during the glass melting process, causing the glass to easily have defects such as streaks and internal unevenness, and it is difficult for the internal quality of the glass to meet the requirements.
Based on the above reasons, the technical problem addressed by the present application is to provide a glass with excellent intrinsic quality, excellent transmittance properties in the visible range and excellent absorption properties in the near-infrared range.
The technical solution proposed by the present application to address the problem is as follows.
The beneficial effect of the present application is that through reasonable component design, the glass obtained by the present application has excellent intrinsic quality, excellent transmittance characteristics in the visible range and excellent absorption characteristics in the near-infrared region.
The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present application. However, the present application is not limited to the following embodiments, and may be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of the objectives of the present application. Additionally, regarding the repeated descriptions, although there may be appropriate omissions, this will not limit the essence of the application.
The following is a description of the range of each component (ingredient) constituting the glass of the present application. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the content of the cationic component is expressed as the molar percentage (mol %) of the cation in all cationic components, and the content of the anionic component is expressed as the molar percentage (mol %) of the anion in all anionic components; the ratio between the contents of the cationic components is the ratio of the molar percentage of the contents of the various cationic components; the ratio between the contents of the anionic components is the ratio of the molar percentage of the contents of the various anionic components; the ratio between the contents of the anionic and cationic components is the ratio between the molar percentage of the cationic component in all cationic components and the molar percentage of the anionic component in all anionic components.
Unless otherwise specified in specific circumstances, the numerical ranges listed herein include upper and lower limits, “above (more than, greater than)” and “below (less than)” include endpoint values, and all integers and fractions included in the range, without limitation to the specific values listed when the range is defined. “And/or” as referred to herein is inclusive, for example, “A and/or B” means only A, or only B, or both A and B.
It should be noted that the ionic valence of each component described below is a representative value used for convenience and is no different from other ionic valences. There is a possibility that the ionic valence of each component in the glass may differ from the representative value. For example, P usually exists in the glass in a state of ionic valence of +5, so “P5+” is used as a representative value in the present application, but there is a possibility of existing in other ionic valence states, which is also within the scope of protection of the present application.
P5+ is an indispensable component of the glass skeleton of the present application, which can promote the formation of glass and improve the near-infrared absorption performance of glass. If the content of P5+ is less than 51%, the above effects are insufficient, and the near-infrared absorption function of glass cannot meet the design requirement; if the content of P5+ exceeds 72%, the glass exhibits an increased tendency toward devitrification, and its weather resistance decreases. Therefore, the content of P5+ in the present application is 51-72%, with a preferred range of 56-68%, and a more preferred range of 60-65%. In some embodiments, the content of P5+ may be approximately 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59% 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, or 72%.
Al3+ is beneficial to increase the stability of glass, improve the strength of glass and improve the weather resistance of glass, but when its content exceeds 10%, the crystallization tendency of glass increases and the melting performance of glass deteriorates. Therefore, the content of Al3+ in the present application is 0-10%, with a preferred range of 0.5-8%, and a more preferred range of 1-5%. In some embodiments, the content of Al3+ may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, or 10%.
Cu2+ is a necessary component for the glass of the present application to obtain near-infrared light absorption performance. If its content is less than 5%, the near-infrared absorption performance of the glass is difficult to meet the design requirements. However, if the content of Cu2+ exceeds 25%, the transmittance of the glass in the visible light range decreases, the valence state of Cu in the glass changes, it is difficult to obtain the desired light absorption performance, and the devitrification resistance of the glass decreases. Therefore, the content of Cu2+ in the present application is 5-25%, with a preferred range of 6-20%, and a more preferred range of 8-15%. In some embodiments, the content of Cu2+ may be approximately 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 10.5%, 11%, 11.5%, 12%, 12.5%, 13%, 13.5%, 14%, 14.5%, 15%, 15.5%, 16%, 16.5%, 17%, 17.5%, 18%, 18.5%, 19%, 19.5%, 20%, 20.5%, 21%, 21.5%, 22%, 22.5%, 23%, 23.5%, 24%, 24.5%, or 25%.

Ln3+ (Ln3+ is one or more of La3+, Gd3+, and Y3+) is beneficial to improving the visible light transmittance and near-infrared absorption performance of the glass, and improving the chemical stability and hardness of the glass. If its content exceeds 8%, the glass's resistance to crystallization decreases. Therefore, the content of Ln3+ is less than 8%, preferably 0.1−6%, and more preferably 0.5-4%. In some embodiments, the content of Ln3+ may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, or 8%.

In some embodiments, the content of Gd3+ may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, or 5%.
In some embodiments, the ratio of the content of Al3+ to Ln3+, Al3+/Ln3+, is controlled to be greater than 0.2, which is beneficial for the glass to obtain a suitable Young's modulus and abrasion resistance. Therefore, it is preferred that Al3+/Ln3+ is greater than 0.2, more preferably Al3+/Ln3+ is 0.2-20.0, and further preferably Al3+/Ln3+ is 0.5-15.0. Furthermore, controlling Al3+/Ln3+ within the range of 1.0-10.0 is also beneficial for the glass to obtain a higher hardness while preventing the glass transition temperature from increasing. Therefore, it is even more preferred that Al3+/Ln3+ is 1.0-10.0, and it is further preferred that Al3+/Ln3+ is 1.5-8.0. In some embodiments, the value of Al3+/Ln3+ may be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 6.6, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0, 11.5, 12.0, 12.5, 13.0, 13.5, 14.0, 14.5, 15.0, 15.5, 16.0, 16.5, 17.0, 17.5, 18.0, 18.5, 19.0, 19.5, or 20.0.
In some embodiments, by controlling P5+/(Al3++Ln3+) within the range of 5.0 to 50.0, the hardness of the glass can be increased and the glass density can be prevented from increasing.

Furthermore, controlling P5+/(Al3++Ln3+) within the range of 12.0 to 30.0 can further improve the visible light transmittance of the glass. Therefore, it is even more preferred that P5+/(Al3++Ln3+) is 12.0 to 30.0, and it is further preferred that P5+/(Al3++Ln3+) is 15.0 to 25.0. In some embodiments, the value of P5+/(Al3++Ln3+) may be 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, 19.0, 20.0, 21.0, 22.0, 23.0, 24.0, 25.0, 26.0, 27.0, 28.0, 29.0, 30.0, 31.0, 32.0, 33.0, 34.0, 35.0, 36.0, 37.0, 38.0, 39.0, 40.0, 41.0, 42.0, 43.0, 44.0, 45.0, 46.0, 47.0, 48.0, 49.0, or 50.0.

Rn+ (Rn+ is one or more of Li+, Na+, and K+) can reduce the melting temperature and viscosity of the glass, and can promote the presence of more Cu in the form of Cu2+, but as Rn+ increases, the chemical stability of the glass deteriorates. In the present application, a content of more than 5% Rn+ is used to achieve the above properties, but when the content of Rn+ exceeds 25%, the devitrification resistance of the glass decreases, the forming performance of the glass deteriorates, and the coefficient of thermal expansion increases.

Ba2+ can increase the transmittance of glass in the visible light range, improve the glass forming stability and strength of glass, and if its content exceeds 10%, the density of glass increases. In some embodiments of the present application, by making the content of Ba2+ more than 0.5%, the chemical stability of glass can be improved and the thermal expansion coefficient of glass can be reduced. Therefore, the content of Ba2+ is less than 10%, preferably the content of Ba2+ is 0.5-8%, and more preferably the content of Ba2+ is 1-6%. In some embodiments, the content of Ba2+ may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9% 9.5%, or 10%.
In some embodiments, by making Ln3+/(Ba2++Al3+) more than 0.02, it is beneficial to prevent the transition temperature from rising while reducing the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass. Therefore, it is preferred that Ln3+/(Ba2++Al3+) is more than 0.02, more preferably Ln3+/(Ba2++Al3+) is 0.02 to 2.0, and even more preferably Ln3+/(Ba2++Al3+) is 0.05 to 1.0. Furthermore, by controlling Ln3+/(Ba2++Al3+) within the range of 0.08 to 0.8, it is also beneficial to optimize the hardness of the glass. Therefore, it is further preferred that Ln3+/(Ba2++Al3+) is 0.08-0.8, and it is still further preferred that Ln3+/(Ba2++Al3+) is 0.1-0.5.
B3+ can reduce the melting temperature of glass. When its content exceeds 5%, the near-infrared light absorption characteristics are reduced. Therefore, the content of B3+ is 0-5%, preferably 0-2%, more preferably 0-1%, and it is further preferred that the glass does not include B3+. In some embodiments, the content of B3+ may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%1, %, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, or 5%.
Si4+ can promote the formation of glass and improve the chemical stability of glass. When its content exceeds 5%, the meltability of glass deteriorates, and it is easy to form unmelted impurities in the glass. At the same time, the near-infrared light absorption characteristics of glass are easily reduced. Therefore, the content of Si4+ is 0-5%, preferably 0-2%, more preferably 0-1%, and it is further preferred that the glass does not include Si4+. In some embodiments, the content of Si4+ may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, or 5% of Si4+.
Zn2+ can lower the transition temperature of glass and improve the thermal stability of glass. When its content exceeds 10%, the devitrification resistance of the glass decreases. Therefore, the content of Zn2+ is limited to less than 10%, preferably less than 5%, and more preferably less than 2%. In some embodiments, it is further preferred that the glass does not include Zn2+. In some embodiments, the content of Zn2+ may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%1, %, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, or 5%.
Zr4+ can improve the chemical stability of glass, but if its content exceeds 5%, the melting performance of the glass will significantly decrease, and the anti-crystallization performance will decrease. Therefore, the content of Zr4+ is limited to 0 to 5%, preferably 0 to 2%, more preferably 0 to 1%, and further preferably that the glass does not include Zr4+. In some embodiments, the content of Zr4+ may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, or 5%.
One or more components of Sb3+, Sn4+, and Ce4+ can be used as a clarifying agent to enhance the clarification effect of the glass and improve the glass's bubble grade. The individual or total content of Sb3+, Sn4+, and Ce4+ is 0 to 1%, preferably 0 to 0.5%, and more preferably 0 to 0.1%. In some embodiments, the content of Sb3+ and/or Sn4+ and/or Ce4+ may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, or 1%.
The anionic components of the glass of the present application mainly include O2− and F−. In order to make the glass of the present application have excellent stability and devitrification resistance, the total content of O2− and F−, O2−+F−, is more than 98%, preferably more than 99, and more preferably, it is more than 99.5%. In some embodiments, O2−+F− may be 98%, 98.1%, 98.2%, 98.3%, 98.4%, 98.5%, 98.6%, 98.7%, 98.8%, 98.9%, 99%, 99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%, or 100%.
O2− is an important anionic component in the glass of the present application. It can stabilize the network structure and form stable glass. It can also ensure that Cu ions in the glass exist in the form of Cu2+, thereby ensuring the glass's ability to absorb light in the near-infrared range. If the content of O2− is too low, it will be difficult to form stable glass, and Cu2+ will be easily reduced to Cu2+, making it difficult to achieve the effect of light absorption in the near-infrared range. However, if the content of O2− is excessive, the melting temperature of the glass will be higher. This results in a significant decrease in light transmittance in the visible light range. Therefore, the content of O2− is limited to 85-99.5%, preferably 88-99%, and more preferably 91-98%. In some embodiments, the content of O2− may be approximately 85%, 85.5%, 86%, 86.5%, 87%, 87.5%, 88%, 88.5%, 89%, 89.5%, 90%, 90.5%, 91%, 91.5%, 92%, 92.5%, 93%, 93.5%, 94%, 94.5%, 95%, 95.5%, 96%, 96.5%, 97%, 97.5%, 98%, 98.5%, 99%, or 99.5%.
F− can reduce the melting temperature of glass, and can improve the visible light transmittance of glass, reduce the viscosity of glass, and the appropriate amount of F− is beneficial to improve the anti-crystallization performance of glass. If the content of F− exceeds 15%, the stability of the glass is reduced, the glass is easy to volatilize during melting, pollute the environment, and the glass is prone to forming streaks. Therefore, the content of F− is limited to 0.5-15%, preferably 1-12%, and more preferably 2-9%. In some embodiments, the content of F− may be approximately 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 10.5%, 11%, 11.5%, 12%, 12.5%, 13%, 13.5%, 14%, 14.5%, or 15%.
In some embodiments, by controlling Ln3+/F− to be more than 0.01, it prevents the glass transition temperature from rising, while improving the near-infrared absorption performance of glass. Therefore, Ln3+/F− is preferably more than 0.01, more preferably Ln3+/F− is 0.02 to 10.0, and further preferably Ln3+/F− is 0.05 to 5.0. Furthermore, by controlling Ln3+/F− in the range of 0.05 to 2.0, the glass can also obtain a suitable Young's modulus. Therefore, Ln3+/F− is further preferably 0.05 to 2.0, and still further preferably Ln3+/F− is 0.1 to 1.0. In some embodiments, the value of Ln3+/F− may be 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, or 10.0.
In some embodiments, by controlling F/Cu2+ in the range of 0.05 to 2.0, the glass can obtain a suitable Young's modulus and a lower coefficient of thermal expansion. Therefore, the preferred F−/Cu2+ is 0.05 to 2.0, the more preferred F−/Cu2+ is 0.1 to 1.5, the further preferred F−/Cu2+ is 0.2 to 1.0, and the still further preferred F/Cu2+ is 0.3 to 0.8. In some embodiments, the value of F/Cu2+ may be 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, or 2.0.

The individual or total content of Cl−, Br−, and I− is 0-2%, preferably 0-1%, and more preferably 0-0.5%. In some embodiments, the content of Cl− and/or Br− and/or I− may be approximately 0, greater than 0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, or 2%.
Components such as V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ag, and Mo, even if included in small amounts alone or in combination, will interfere with the spectral transmittance of the glass, which is not conducive to the formation of the glass of the present application.
