The invention belongs to the technical field of luminescence, and relates to a white-light-transmitting composite film layer, a preparation method therefor and a use thereof.
With the development of the automotive industry towards energy conservation, environmental protection and intelligence, vehicle-mounted luminous wave-transmitting products, such as luminous grilles, luminous signs and luminous interior and exterior trims, will become increasingly popular, wherein the luminous grilles and luminous signs are required to transmit white light, and some of the luminous products are integrated with radar to assist in driving. Existing products capable of transmitting white light are formed by a transparent product sprayed with white paint of a certain thickness and a backlight base plate capable of transmitting white light. When a light is turned on, the product transmits white light seen from the front. However, when the light is turned off, the light-transmitting area of the product only shows an ordinary white color, lacks the high-end metal-plated silver texture and cannot satisfy the appearance requirement of high-end luminous products. By means of the physical vapor deposition (PVD) indium plating process, the light-transmitting area of the product can show a good metal sliver texture seen from the front when the light is turned off. However, when the product is used together with a backlight base plate capable of transmitting white light, the transmitted light is yellow obviously, and the color temperature of the transmitted light is lower than 4500 K, thus failing to satisfy the requirements for white light transmission of products and the color temperature of 5200-7200K of transmitted light. No matter how to adjust the thickness of a PVD indium coating, the vacuum degree of plating, the position of an evaporation source (tungsten filaments), the number of the tungsten filaments, and parameters of evaporation plating, the PVD indium coating cannot transmit white light.
In view of the defects in the prior art, the invention attaches a special medium layer to one side of an indium coating by means of the principle of complementary colors in chromatics, so that a composite film layer can realize white light transmission, and the color temperature value of transmitted white light is 5200-7200 K.

These embodiments are illustrative, and the contents disclosed by the invention are not limited to these embodiments. Drawings used here are merely for better explaining the contents disclosed by the invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the invention.
A transparent or semitransparent object can transmit light, wherein part of the light irradiated onto the transparent or semitransparent object is absorbed by the object, and the other part of the light passes through the object. The part of light absorbed by the object cannot be seen, while the part of light passes through the object can be seen by human eyes. Different objects can transmit light in different colors, so the color of transparent objects is determined by light passing through the objects. The primary cause of a yellow color of transmitted light is the structural characteristics of a PVD indium plating film.
Based on the above principle, in the invention, a medium layer in a specific color is arranged on the back side of an indium coating (the back side of the indium coating is defined as a side, close to a white light source, of the indium coating), so that the problem of a yellow color caused by absorption of part of light of the indium coating is solved by means of color complementation of the indium coating and the medium layer, and the light color is harmonized to allow a product to transmit white light.

An average particle size of the blue pigment and the purple pigment is 0.15-1.5 μm.
The specific proportion of the blue pigment and the blue pigment added to the medium layer depends on the selected CMYK value and particle size of the blue pigment and the purple pigment and the thickness of the indium coating.
