MICROOPTICS FOR GLAZING

摘要

The present disclosure provides lamination transfer films and use of the lamination transfer films, particular in the fabrication of architectural glass elements, such as those used in Insulated Glass Units (IGUs). The lamination transfer films may be used to transfer functional layers and structures. The lamination transfer films may include a support film that can be removed during the transfer process, and the transferred materials are primarily inorganic. The resulting transferred structures on glass generally have high photo- and thermal-stability, and therefore can successfully be applied to the glass surfaces that are interior to the cavity within an IGU. The lamination transfer films can also be patterned such that macroscopic patterns of microoptical elements can be applied on a glass surface.

主权项

1. A transfer tape, comprising:
a template layer having a structured surface; a backfill layer disposed on at least a portion of the template layer, the backfill layer comprising an organosilicon material having a planar surface opposite the structured surface; and a diffuser layer disposed adjacent the planar surface, wherein the diffuser layer is capable of adhering to a glass surface, and the template layer is capable of being removed from the backfill layer.
