  • Publication number: 20250004176
    Abstract: An optical component includes a substrate and a low reflection layer. The low reflection layer is disposed on a surface of the substrate, and the low reflection layer includes a plurality of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are arranged in a stack configuration, and the number of the nanoparticles decreases progressively in a direction away from the substrate, such that an effective refractive index of the low reflection layer decreases progressively in the direction away from the substrate so as to prevent total reflection of light at the interface, thereby reducing reflectivity. When specific conditions are satisfied, the stacked nanoparticles can form a gradient-index film layer, and the low reflection layer can provide better anti-reflection capability.
