A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11885993B2) discloses a method for manufacturing an optical filter with a UV-IR-absorbing layer. The method involves preparing a UV-IR-absorbing composition containing a phosphonic acid and a copper component dispersed in a curable resin. This composition is then applied to form a film, which is cured into the UV-IR-absorbing layer by exposure to specific temperature and humidity conditions. The resulting optical filter exhibits specific spectral transmittance characteristics, including high average transmittance in the 450 nm to 600 nm wavelength range, low transmittance in the 750 nm to 1080 nm range, and a first IR cut-off wavelength between 620 nm to 680 nm.
Furthermore, the patent claims detail additional features of the optical filter, such as a maximum transmittance of 1% or less in the 300 nm to 350 nm wavelength range, increasing spectral transmittance in the 350 nm to 450 nm range, and specific cut-off wavelengths for UV and IR transmittance. The composition includes phosphonic acids with alkyl or phenyl groups, with variations in substitution patterns for the phenyl group. These specific components and manufacturing steps result in an optical filter with tailored transmittance properties suitable for various applications requiring UV and IR absorption capabilities.
