摘要:
An encapsulant is described for an optoelectronic device or optical component, which provides a coefficient of thermal expansion of less than 50 ppm/° C., with a variation of less than ±30%, and further provides an optical transmittance of at least 20% at a wavelength in the range of 400 to 900 nm, at an encapsulant thickness of about 1 mm. The encapsulant includes a filler consisting essentially of glass particles having diameters smaller than 500 μm, being essentially free of titania and lead oxide, and having a refractive index in the range of 1.48 to 1.60, with a variance of less than about 0.001. A method for making the encapsulant also is described, the method including steps of (1) processing the glass to form particles having diameters between 1 and 500 μm, (2) preparing an epoxy resin composition having at a cured stage a refractive index close to that of the glass filler particles, (3) mixing the epoxy resin composition with the filler particles to form a filled epoxy resin composition, (4) encapsulating an optoelectronic device with the filled epoxy resin composition, and (5) curing the filled epoxy resin composition.

摘要:
An encapsulant for use with opto-electronic devices and optical components incorporates a filler made from a glass that has been processed into particle form and heated to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, along with an epoxy having an index of refraction matched to that of the glass and heated to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, to prevent settling of the filler particles after mixing the filler particles with the epoxy, and thereby obtaining uniform dispersion of the particles within the epoxy. The encapsulant provides for high light transmittance, and its coefficient of thermal expansion can be varied by varying the amount of filler without substantially altering the optical properties of the encapsulant. The coefficient of thermal expansion variation within the encapsulant preferably is less than 30%, due to uniform dispersion of the filler particles within the epoxy.

摘要:
Coating compositions, and methods for depositing them on the surface of an article to produce an antireflection coating, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the coating composition includes a (meth)acrylate-functional silicon alkoxide, silica particles, a (meth)acrylate monomer, an epoxy (meth)acrylate oligomer, a photoinitiator, a solvent, an acid, and water. The relative amounts of these constituents are controlled such that, when the coating composition is deposited onto the surface of an article and cured, it has a refractive index less than about 1.60 at a wavelength of 510 nm. In another embodiment, the coating composition includes an organo-metallic compound other than an organo-metallic compound of silicon, an epoxy-functional silicon alkoxide, a non-epoxy-functional silicon alkoxide, a curing agent compatible with epoxy-functional molecules, a solvent, an inorganic acid, and water. The relative amounts of these constituents are controlled such that, when the coating composition is deposited onto the surface of an article and cured, it has a refractive index greater than about 1.70 at a wavelength of 510 nm. The coating compositions are deposited in a process that produces an antireflection coating in less than 90 minutes of processing time.
