    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a layered optical composite, in particular for use in an augmented reality device. In particular, the disclosure relates to a layered optical composite and a process for its preparation, a device comprising the layered optical composite and a process for its preparation, and the use of a layered optical composite in an augmented reality device.
    The present disclosure relates to a layered optical composite comprising: a. a substrate having a front face and a back face, b. a coating comprising: i. a type T layer, and ii. a type C region comprising one or more type C layers; in which the substrate has: i. a thickness tG in the range from 0.2 to 1.2 mm; ii. a refractive index nG at a wavelength λ in the range from 1.6 to 2.4; and iii. an optical absorption coefficient KG at the wavelength λ of less than 10 cm−1; in which the type C layers individually and independently have: i. a thickness tC in the range from 9 to 250 nm; ii. a refractive index nC at the wavelength λ in the range from 1.35 to 2.43; and iii. an optical absorption coefficient KC at the wavelength λ of less than 106 cm−1; in which at least one type C layer has: i. an optical absorption coefficient at the wavelength λ of at least 100 cm−1; in which the type T layer has: i. a thickness tT in the range from 50 to 300 nm; ii. a refractive index nT at the wavelength λ in the range from 1.35 to 1.96; and iii. an optical absorption coefficient KT of less than 80 cm−1; in which the type C region and the type T layer are each superimposed over one face of the substrate with the type C region further than the type T layer from the substrate; in which λ is in the range from 430 to 670 nm.
