SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING LAMINATES, LAYERS AND COATINGS INCLUDING ELEMENTS FOR SCATTERING AND PASSING SELECTIVE WAVELENGTHS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY

摘要

A system and method are provided for forming electromagnetic energy transmissive layers, which are particularly configured to selectively scatter specific and selectable wavelengths of electromagnetic energy, while allowing remaining wavelengths to pass therethrough. Processes are provided by which to form, or otherwise incorporate, one or more energy scattering layers, including uniquely implementing optical light scattering techniques in such energy scattering layers, and to objects, object portions, wall plates, lenses, filters, screens and the like that are formed of, or that otherwise incorporate, such transmissive energy-scattering layers. Refractive indices of particles fixed in a matrix are tunable in order that the finished layers provide an opaque appearance when viewed from an energy-incident excited by light in the visible spectrum. A color, pattern, texture or image of the scattering layer may be rendered according to an individual user's desires, the layers being substantially-transparent to light passing through layers.

主权项

1. An energy scattering layer, comprising:
a plurality of substantially-transparent particles; and a substantially-transparent matrix material that fixes the particles in a layer arrangement to form an energy scattering layer, the energy scattering layer having an energy-incident side, the particles being fixed in the matrix material in a manner that causes the layer arrangement to
reflect substantially all of one or more selectable wavelengths of incident energy impinging on the energy scattering layer from the energy-incident side, andpass other wavelengths of the incident energy through the energy scattering layer.
