Abstract
A thin film structure including a reflector layer; and a hybrid layer including an organic colored material and at least one of an organic filler and an inorganic filler; wherein a concentration of the at least one of an organic filler or an inorganic filler is in a range of from about 3 wt. % to about 30 wt. %. A method of making a thin film structure is also disclosed.
Claims19
A thin film structure, comprising:
- a microstructured reflector layer laving a first side and a second side;
- wherein the first side includes two or three hybrid layers, and
- wherein the second side includes up to three hybrid layers,
- hybrid layer comprises an organic colored material and at least one filler chosen from an organic filler and an inorganic filler, wherein the at least one filler is present in the hybrid layer in an amount ranging from about 3 wt. % to about 30 wt. % relative to the total weight of the hybrid layer.
1 more element
A thin film structure, comprising:
- a microstructured reflector layer having a first side and a second side;
- wherein the first side includes up to three hybrid layers, and
- wherein the second side includes up to three hybrid layers,
- a hybrid layer comprises an organic colored material and at least one filler chosen from an organic filler and an inorganic filler, wherein the at least one filler is present in the hybrid layer in an amount ranging from about 3 wt. % to about 30 wt. % relative to the total weight of the hybrid layer,
- wherein an amount of the at least one organic filler or inorganic filler varies along a gradient along a length of the hybrid layer.
2 more elements
A method of making a thin film structure, comprising:
- a. co-depositing, on a reflector layer, an organic colored material and at least one filler chosen from an organic filler and an inorganic filler to form a hybrid layer, and
- b. mechanically grinding the thin film structure to an average platelet size of 10 to 20 microns, wherein the at least one filler is present in the hybrid layer in an amount ranging from about 3 wt. % to about 30 wt. % relative to the total weight of the hybrid layer.
A method of making a thin film structure, comprising:
- providing a substrate with a release layer;
- co-depositing, on the substrate with release layer, an organic colored material and at least one filler chosen from an organic filler and an inorganic filler to form a first hybrid layer;
- co-depositing, on a reflector layer, an organic colored material and at least one filler chosen from an organic filler and an inorganic filler to form a second hybrid layer, wherein the at least one filler is present in the hybrid layer in an amount ranging from about 3 wt. % to about 30 wt. % relative to the total weight of the hybrid layer.
