초록
본 연구에서는 Reactive mesogen (RM) 기반 λ/2 위상지연 필름과 편광필름을 이용하여 3단계로 투과율 가변이가능한 스마트윈도우 제조 기술을 제안한다. λ/2 위상지연 필름은 위상차 (Γ) 값이 π (Δn·d=λ/2)이며, 위상지연 필름에 입사된 빛의 진행방향을 필름의 광축에 대칭된 각도로 변환시키는 특징이 있다. 위상지연 필름의 Δn·d 값이 λ/2에 근접할수록 변환 특성이 우수하기 때문에 본 연구에서는 복굴절 물질인 RM 두께별 retardation (Δn·d) 특성 평가를 통해 Δn·d가 λ/ 2(=275 nm@550 nm)에 근접한 276.1 nm의 값을 갖는 위상지연 필름을 제작하였다. 최종적으로 (편광필름)/(유리기판)/(배향막)/(λ/2 retardation film) 구조의 스마트윈도우를 제작하여 투과모드, 반투과모드, 차단모드에서의 광 투과 특성을 평가하였다. 평가결과 투과율은 각각 35.8%, 27.8%, 18.2%의 값을 나타내었으며, 이를 통해 λ/2 위상지연 필름을 이용하여 3 단계로 투과율 제어 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 150×200 mm2 크기의 스마트윈도우를 구현함으로써 건축물, 자동차 등 다양한 분야의 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.
Abstract
A fabrication of smart windows with controllable visible light transmittance in three steps by using λ/2 retardation films based on a reactive mesogen (RM) material and polarizing films is demonstrated. The phase retardation films with a Δn·d value of λ/2 (λ: wavelength) convert the direction of a traveling light to the optical axis of the film symmetrically. In this work, the retardation characteristics according to the RM thickness were evaluated and henceλ/2 phase retardation film can be fabricated. The phase retardation film with Δn·d of 276.1 nm, which is close to λ/2 (=275 nm @550 nm), was fabricated. The light transmittance of a smart window with the structure of (polarizing film)/(glass)/(alignment layer)/(λ/2 retardation film) was measured in the transmission mode, half mode and blocking mode. The evaluation results show that the transmittance of the smart window can be controlled in three steps with 35.8%, 27.8%, and 18.2% at each mode, respectively. In addition, by fabricating a smart window with a size of 150×200 mm2, the feasibility of use in various fields such as buildings and automobiles was verified.
