Abstract
In this study we propose a hybrid color-filter design method in which a nanohole array and a nanodisk array are separated by nanopillars of the material AZ 1500. We propose a design method for an RGB color filter, using the tendency of transmitted light according to each design variable. Especially we analyzed the intensity distribution of the electric field in the cross section, and set the height of the nanopillars so that the local surface-plasmon resonances generated in the two different arrays do not affect each other. The optical characteristics of the optimized color filter are as follows: In the case of the red filter, the ratio of the wavelength band expressing red in the visible broadband is 55.01%, and the maximum transmittance is 41.53%. In the case of the green filter, the ratio of the wavelength band expressing green is 40.20%, and the maximum transmittance is 42.41%. In the case of the blue filter, the ratio of the wavelength band expressing blue is 32.78%, and the maximum transmittance is 30.27%. We expect to improve the characteristics of color filters integrated in industrial devices by this study.
