MODE FOR THE INVENTION

(6) Hereinafter, a transparent substrate provided with a multi-layered coating according to the present invention and an insulation glazing unit including the same will be described in more detail, with reference to accompanying drawings. However, the description is only presented by way of example for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrative description.

(7) Terms used in the present invention have the following meanings.

(8) The term, ‘layer(s)’ may refer to one layer, that is, a single layer, or two or more layers, that is, multiple layers. Herein, each layer forming the multiple layers satisfies the requirements corresponding to the layer.

(9) The term, ‘film’ may also refer to one layer, that is a single layer, or two or more layers, that is, multiple layers in a film.

(10) The term, ‘dielectric layer’ means that the material is a non-metal, that is, is not a metal, in terms of the characteristic.

(11) ‘A single glazing unit (SGU)’ refers to one substrate having a constant thickness provided with a coating having a constant thickness. For example, a transparent substrate, that is, a glass of 12 mm or less provided with a coating can be mentioned.

(12) An ‘uncoated surface’ refers to an uncoated surface of two surfaces of the single glazing unit.

(13) A ‘coated surface’ refers to a coated surface of two surfaces of the single glazing unit.

(14) A ‘double glazing unit (DGU)’ refers to a unit composed of two substrates and a hollow layer between the substrates. For example, a transparent substrate, that is, a glass of 6 mm provided with a coating, is provided on an outer surface, a hollow layer (air layer) of 12 mm exists under the substrate, and a transparent substrate, that is, a glass of 6 mm without a coating, may be provided under the hollow layer. The substrate without a coating is disposed to face an inner surface.

(15) The double glazing unit has a total of four surfaces. An outer surface of a coated substrate into which light enters is referred to as a ‘first surface’, an inner surface, that is, a surface in contact with the hollow layer, is referred to as a ‘second surface’, a surface facing the hollow layer, of uncoated substrate surfaces disposed inside with the hollow layer interposed therebetween, is referred to as a ‘third surface’, and a surface facing the inside is referred to as a ‘fourth surface’.

(16) ‘External reflection’ represents reflection on the first surface of the double glazing unit or reflection on the uncoated surface in the single glazing unit, and ‘internal reflection’ represents reflection on the fourth surface of the double glazing unit or reflection on the coated surface in the single glazing unit.

(17) An ‘insulation glazing unit (IGU)’ is a unit composed of at least two substrates and a hollow layer between the substrates, and embraces a double glazing unit (DGU) and a triple glazing unit (TGU).

(18) ‘Emissivity’ is a criterion representing how light is absorbed and reflected at a given wavelength, and generally satisfies the following equation.
(Emissivity)=1−(Reflectance)

(19) The lower the emissivity, the more reflections occurs and the more infrared energy is reflected, and thus, less heat is transferred and a thermal transmittance value is lowered, thereby increasing an insulation effect. For example, a general uncoated glass has emissivity of about 0.84, and the emissivity is lowered when the glass is coated.

(20) A solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC, also referred to as a ‘solar heat gain rate’) represents a ratio of solar energy entering through a window, of incident solar energy. In the present specification, the solar heat gain coefficient represents a value measured under the conditions described in ISO 9050.

(21) A ‘shading coefficient (SC)’ is a value of a solar heat gain rate/0.87.

(22) An ‘optical thickness’ is a value obtained by multiplying a physical thickness by a reflectance index at a wavelength of 550 nm.

(23) A ‘visible absorption rate’ represents a value obtained by subtracting coated surface visible reflectance (%) from visible transmittance (%) (visible absorptance (%)=visible transmittance (%)−coated surface visible reflectance (%)).

(24) ‘Selectivity’ represents a value obtained by dividing visible transmittance (TL) by a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) (TL/SHGC).

(25) ‘Δhab’ (a color change value depending on an angle of an external reflection color (or an uncoated surface reflection color)) is a value obtained by subtracting hab at Rext 0° from hab at Rext 600 (Δhab=hab at Rext 60°−hab at Rext 0°).
hab[°]=A TAN(b*/a*)×180/PI

(26) According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a transparent substrate provided with a multi-layered coating is provided, the coating including the following in an order from the substrate: a first dielectric film including one or more dielectric layers, a first metallic lower protective layer, a first metallic layer having an infrared (IR) reflection characteristic, a first metallic upper protective layer, a second dielectric film including two or more dielectric layers, a second metallic lower protective layer, a second metallic layer having an infrared (IR) reflection characteristic, a second metallic upper protective layer, and a third dielectric film including one or more dielectric layers, wherein the dielectric layer includes a metal oxide, a metal nitride, or a metal oxynitride, the metal is one or more selected from the group consisting of Si, Zn, Nb, and Sn, and Zr may be included as a dopant, the metal protective layer includes one or more selected from the group consisting of Ti, Ni, Cr, and Nb, the metallic layer is Ag (silver) or a Ag-containing metal alloy, a normal emissivity is 2.0% or less, and a difference between a coated surface reflectance and an uncoated surface reflectance is 21% or more.

(27) As shown in FIG. 1, the transparent substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is provided with a multi-layered coating, the coating including the following in an order from the substrate: a first dielectric film 10 including at least one dielectric layer, a first metallic lower protective layer 20, a first metallic layer 30 having an infrared (IR) reflection characteristic, a first metallic upper protective layer 40, a second dielectric film 50 having two or more dielectric layers, a second metallic lower protective layer 60, a second metallic layer 70 having an infrared (IR) reflection characteristic, a second metallic upper protective layer 80, and a third dielectric film 90 including one or more dielectric layers.

(28) Hereinafter, each of the films and layers will be described.

(29) [Dielectric Film and Dielectric Layer]

(30) The dielectric film may be provided above and below the metallic layer. For example, two metallic layers are used, at least three dielectric films may be provided.

(31) As shown in FIG. 1, three dielectric films, that is, the first dielectric film 10, the second dielectric film 50, and the third dielectric film 90 may be used at different positions, respectively.

(32) The first dielectric film 10 is disposed directly on the substrate and under the first metallic lower protective layer 20. The second dielectric film 50 is disposed on the first metallic upper protective layer 40 and under the second metallic lower protective layer 60. The third dielectric film 90 is disposed on the second metallic upper protective layer 80.

(33) Each of the dielectric films includes one or more dielectric layers. Here, the dielectric layer includes a metal oxide, a metal nitride, or a metal oxynitride, the metal is one or more selected from the group consisting of Si, Zn, Nb, and Sn, and Zr may be included as a dopant. For example, the dielectric film may include zinc oxide (ZnO), a silicon nitride (Si.sub.xN.sub.y) (in particular, Si.sub.3N.sub.4), or niobium nitride (NbN). The dielectric films may be identical to or different from each other.

(34) It is preferred that the second dielectric film 50 includes two or more dielectric layers. In this case, it is preferred to provide an absorption layer 52 between the two dielectric layers. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the second dielectric film may be provided with two dielectric layers 51 which wrap the absorption layer 52 above and below in a sandwich form with the absorption layer 52 interposed therebetween. It is preferred that the absorption layer 52 has visible absorptance of 10% or more. The absorption layer 52 simultaneously absorbs visible rays while serving as a regulator which may adjust a reflectance difference between the upper and lower layers. That is, when there is no absorption layer 52 between the dielectric layers, an uncoated surface reflectance and a coated surface reflectance will be almost the same, but in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a difference between the uncoated surface reflectance and the coated surface reflectance may occur due to the absorption layer 52. This may lower the normal emissivity.

(35) When increasing the thickness of metal protective layers 40 and 60, instead of using the absorption layer 52, the difference between the uncoated surface reflectance and the coated surface reflectance may occur.

(36) It is preferred that an optical thickness ratio of the dielectric layer 51 on the upper part of the absorption layer 52 to the dielectric layer 51 on the lower part the absorption layer 52 (the dielectric layer on the upper part of the absorption layer/the dielectric layer on the lower part of the absorption layer) is 1 or more. When the ratio is less than 1, the uncoated surface reflectance is decreased, and the coated surface reflectance is increased. It is more preferred that the value is 3 or more.

(37) It is preferred that an optical thickness ratio of the second dielectric film 50 to the first dielectric film 10 (second dielectric film 50/first dielectric film 10) is 4 or more. The mason is that when the value is less than 4, the uncoated surface reflectance is decreased to 30% or less, and when the thickness of the metallic layer is increased or the thickness of the dielectric film is changed for complementing the uncoated surface reflectance, a problem arises in that the transmission color and the reflection color represent a green-based color.

(38) It is preferred that the optical thickness ratio of the third dielectric film 90 to the second dielectric film 50 (third dielectric film 90/second dielectric film 50) is 0.5 or less. The reason is that when this value is more than 0.5, the coated surface reflectance is increased. For example, the coated surface reflectance may be more than 13%.

(39) It is preferred that the physical thickness ratio of the dielectric layer 51 on the upper part of the absorption layer 52 to the dielectric layer 51 on the lower part of the absorption layer 52 (the dielectric layer on the upper part of the absorption layer/the dielectric layer on the lower part of the absorption layer) is 1 or more. That is, it is preferred that the dielectric layer on the upper part of the absorption layer is thicker. When the physical thickness ratio is less than 1, the uncoated surface reflectance is decreased and the coated surface reflectance is increased. It is more preferred that this value is 3 or more.

(40) The physical thickness of the first dielectric film 10 is preferably 10 to 30 nm. The physical thickness of the second dielectric film 50 is preferably 49 to 112 nm. The physical thickness of the absorption layer 52 is preferably 2 to 4 nm. The physical thickness of the third dielectric film 90 is preferably 27 to 38 nm.

(41) It is preferred that a physical thickness ratio of the second dielectric film 50 to the first dielectric film 10 (second dielectric film 50/first dielectric film 10) is 4 or more. This means that the first dielectric film 10 is relatively thin, and the second dielectric film 50 is relatively thick. The reason is that when this value is less than 4, the uncoated surface reflectance is decreased to 30% or less, and when the thickness of the metallic layer is increased or the thickness of the dielectric film is changed for complementing the uncoated surface reflectance, there arises a problem in that the transmission color and the reflection color are represented as a green-based color. It is more preferred that the physical thickness ratio is 5 or more.

(42) In addition, it is preferred that the physical thickness ratio of the third dielectric film 90 to the second dielectric film 50 (third dielectric film 90/second dielectric film 50) is 0.5 or less. That is, it is preferred that the third dielectric film 90 is thinner. The reason is that when this value is more than 0.5, the uncoated surface reflectance is increased. For example, the uncoated surface reflectance may be more than 13%.

(43) According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the normal emissivity, the uncoated surface reflectance, the coated surface reflectance, the visible transmittance, and the solar heat shading coefficient may all be adjusted to have desired values, by appropriately adjusting the physical thickness ratio and the optical thickness ratio of the dielectric film, and the physical thickness ratio and the optical thickness ratio of the dielectric layer, as described above.

(44) [Metallic Layer and Metal Protective Layer]

(45) The substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes two or more of metallic layers 30 and 70.

(46) The metallic layers 30 and 70 are composed of silver (Ag) or a silver (Ag)-containing metal alloy. As the silver (Ag)-containing metal alloy, for example, a silver (Ag)-gold (Au) alloy, a silver (Ag)-palladium (Pd) alloy, or the like may be used.

(47) The metallic layers 30 and 70 have an infrared (IR) reflection characteristic.

(48) On and under each of the metallic layers 30 and 70, a pair of metal protective layers 20, 40, 60, and 80 which wrap the metallic layers 30 and 70 above and below in a sandwich form with the metallic layers interposed therebetween is provided.

(49) The metal protective layers 20, 40, 60, and 80 include one or more metals selected from the group consisting of Ti, Ni, Cr, and Nb. Preferably, Ni—Cr may be used. In this case, it is preferred that at least a portion of chromium is converted to a nitride during a sputtering process.

(50) It is preferred that a sum of the physical thickness of each of the metallic layers is 27 to 33 nm. The reason is that when the sum of the physical thickness is less than 27 nm, the solar heat shading coefficient will be more than 30% under the single glazing unit (SGU) condition, and when the sum of the physical thickness is more than 33 nm, the CIELAB color coordinate a* value of the visible transmission color will be −7 or less under the single glazing unit (SGU) condition.

(51) Specifically, the physical thickness of the first metallic layer is preferably 14 to 17 nm, and the physical thickness of the second metallic layer is preferably 13 to 16 nm.

(52) It is preferred that all of the metal protective layers have the physical thickness of 0.5 to 2 nm.

(53) According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an overcoating layer 110 may be further included on the upper part of the third dielectric film 90. FIG. 3 represents a transparent substrate further including the overcoating layer 110 on the upper part of the third dielectric film 90. It is preferred that the overcoating layer 110 is one or more selected from the group consisting of a TiO.sub.x, a TiO.sub.xN.sub.y, a TiN.sub.x, and Zr dopants. For example, TiZr.sub.xO.sub.yN (wherein x is 0.5 to 0.7, y is 2.0 to 2.5, and z is 0.2 to 0.6) may be used. TiO.sub.x and Zr, and TiN.sub.x and Zr, may be used.

(55) As shown in FIG. 4, a substrate 120 is provided under the multi-layered coatings 10-90. The substrate 120 is a transparent substrate, and preferably a glass substrate. As shown in FIG. 4, the glass substrate 120 is disposed directly under the first dielectric film 10. As a process of forming the multi-layered coating on the glass substrate 120, a common sputtering process may be used.

(56) The transparent substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has a normal emissivity of 2.0% or less, preferably 1.7% or less, and more preferably 1.5% or less, based on a single glazing unit (SGU). The numerical value is at a very low level coming close to a transparent substrate including three metallic layers (triple low-E coating).

(57) In the transparent substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a difference between the coated surface reflectance and the uncoated surface reflectance is 21% or more, based on the single glazing unit. The transparent substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is characterized by having a large difference between the coated surface reflectance and the uncoated surface reflectance. When the uncoated surface reflectance is high, the coated surface reflectance is accordingly generally high. The present invention is, unlike the general case, characterized in that the uncoated surface reflectance is increased and the coated surface reflectance is lowered, whereby the difference therebetween is large. Particularly, the low coated surface reflectance in the visible region increases the IR coated surface reflectance to decrease the emissivity, thereby maximizing a low emissivity substrate (low E) characteristic.

(58) In the transparent substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the CIELAB color coordinate a* value of the uncoated surface reflection color is preferably −2.5 to 0.5, and the CIELAB color coordinate b* value of the uncoated surface reflection color is preferably −7 to −3.

(59) The CIELAB color coordinate a* value of the visible transmission color is preferably more than −7, and the CIELAB color coordinate b* value of the visible transmission color is preferably less than 1.

(60) It is preferred that a color change value (Δhab) depending on the angle of the uncoated surface reflection color is −7 to 7. Herein, Δ?hab is a value obtained by subtracting hab at Rext 0* from hab at Rext 60° (Δhab=hab at Rext 60−hab at Rext 0).

(61) The selectivity (TL/SHGC) is preferably 1.5 or more, more preferably 1.65 or more, and most preferably 1.7 or more.

(62) It is preferred that the transparent substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has uncoated surface reflectance of 27 to 32% and coated surface reflectance of 6% or less, in the single glazing unit. In addition, it is preferred that the visible transmittance in the single glazing unit is 39 to 44% and the solar heat shading coefficient in the single glazing unit is 30% or less.

(63) It is preferred that the transparent substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has a CIELAB color coordinate a* value of the uncoated surface reflection color in the single glazing unit of −2.5 to 0.5, and a CIELAB color coordinate b* value of the uncoated surface reflection color in the single glazing unit of −7 to −3.

(64) [Insulation Glazing Unit]

(65) According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an insulation glazing unit which is an insulation glazing unit including two or more glass substrates which are spaced apart in parallel with each other is provided, wherein one or more organic substrates of the substrates is the transparent substrate. The insulation glazing unit preferably includes two or more substrates which are maintained as a chassis structure and separate an outer space and an inner space, and one or more gas separation interfaces are disposed between the two substrates. FIG. 5 shows the insulation glazing unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The difference between the external reflectance and the internal reflectance is preferably 18% or more, and more preferably 20% or more.

(68) The transparent substrate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is characterized by having a large difference between the external reflectance and the internal reflectance. As described above regarding Table 3, when the external reflectance is high, the internal reflectance is accordingly also generally accordingly high. The present invention is, unlike the general case, characterized in that the external reflectance is increased while the internal reflectance is decreased to have a large difference therebetween. Particularly, the low internal reflectance in the visible region increases the IR internal reflectance to decrease the emissivity, thereby maximizing a low emissivity substrate (low E) characteristic.

(69) The CIELAB color coordinate a* value of the external reflection color in the double glazing unit is preferably −3 to 0, and the CIELAB color coordinate b* value of the external reflection color in the double glazing unit is preferably −7 to −3.
