  • Patent number: 11370701
    Abstract: A solar control film with improved moisture resistance function is provided. The solar control film includes a flexible substrate, at least one infrared-reflective composite layer and an outer dielectric layer. The infrared-reflective composite layer includes a dielectric sublayer and a metal sublayer. The dielectric sublayer is disposed on the flexible substrate, and the material of the dielectric sublayer includes TiO2. The metal sublayer is disposed on the dielectric sublayer, and includes 8.3-16.4 atomic % Ag, 0.5-1.0 atomic % Ti, 81.0-90.9 atomic % N, and 0.3-0.6 atomic % noble metal, and the noble metal is Au, Pd or any combinations thereof. The outer dielectric layer is disposed on the infrared-reflective composite layer, and the material of the outer dielectric layer includes TiO2. In this way, the provided solar control film can effectively suppress of forming white spots without significantly sacrificing its original function and characteristics.

  • Patent number: 9951416
    Abstract: A vacuum coating apparatus includes at least a chamber, an arc discharge plasma source, a feeding-reeling unit, and a roller set. The first and second openings are connecting with the feeding or reeling unit so as to allow the substrate to enter and leave the chamber therethrough, respectively. The arc discharge plasma source located inside the chamber generates the plasma, which discharges radially from the arc discharge plasma source as its center. The roller set includes a plurality of the first rollers, which are located in the chamber and enclosing the arc discharge plasma source. A first surface of the substrate is facing the plurality of the first rollers and contacts tightly on the periphery of the first rollers so that the first rollers can rotate by the moving of the substrate. The material evaporated and emitted by the plasma is attached onto the first surface of the substrate.
