The coating condition of reproducible anti-reflective coating film and the light transmittance characteristics of the prepared anti-reflective coating glass were investigated as a study for the preparation of single-layer anti-reflective coating glasss. In case of coating with the sol in which the solvent was substituted with the ethanol with the addition of 0.1 mol HNO3, the coated glass showed the minimum value of the refractive index of 1.464, light transmittance of 94.2% at 550nm standard wavelength which is 3.2% higher than that of the parent glass, and the reflectance in the entire wave range of visible light. The refractive index represented its minimum at the sol concentration of 1.0 mol per 100mols of water and the higher the sol concentration, the higher the refractive index, resulting in the decrease of the light transmitance. The production condition of the reproducible anti-reflective coating on glass with the maximum transmittance of 94.2% was 4cm/min of withdrawal speed, 40$0^{\circ}C$ and 1 hour of heat treatment temperature and time, resulting in the film thickness of 94nm.

This study investigates the preparation of anti-reflective (AR) coating film to improve the efficiency of solar cell. The AR coating film was successfully obtained by dip-coating with AR coatings prepared by sol-gel method. Fluoroalkylsilane was additionally introduced into the coatings to give the self-cleaning effect of AR coating film. We performed the abrasion test, pencil scratch hardness test and cross-cut test to identify the mechanical strength of AR coating film. As the results, the transmittance of AR coating films with 9.07, 18.13 and 27.20 of IPA/MTMS molar ratios were 93.1, 93.6 and 95.3%, respectively. The water contact angle and transmittance of AR coating film increased by the introduction of hydrophobicity. The prepared AR coating film shows the high level of abrasion, hardness and adhesion. The IPA/MTMS molar ratio of 27.20 and the withdrawing speed range of 0.20 ~ 0.28cm/sec are the optimal coating condition in terms of the transmittance and mechanical strength of AR coating film.

본 연구에서는 Ni cluster를 이용하여 제작된 나노 구조체를 반사방지막으로 활용하여 비가시광 UV 광통신용 신호 수신단에 적용 가능한 AlGaN 광다이오드의 성능을 개선하는 구조를 제안하였다. 반사방지막의 제작은 SiO2 위에 Ni cluster를 형성한 후 SiO2를 부분적으로 식각하는 방식으로 제조하였다. 반사방지막이 적용된 샘플은 반사방지막이 없는 구조의 샘플에 비해 상대적으로 작아진 반사도를 보였으며 나노구조체가 없는 SiO2 가 증착된 구조에 비해서 입사 광파장의 변화에 대해 균일한 반사도를 보였다. 최종적으로 2 nm 두께의 Ni 층을 열처리하여 제작된 Ni cluster를 이용한 반사방지막을 적용하여 UV 광다이오드를 제작하였고, 그 결과 SiO2 단일막을 가진 센서에 비해 240 nm에서 270 nm 파장영역에서 개선된 광반응도를 보였다.

Silver nanowire (AgNW) networks have been adopted as a front electrode in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells due to their low cost and compatibility with the solution process. When an AgNW network is applied to a CIGS thin film solar cell, reflection loss can increase because the CdS layer, with a relatively high refractive index (n ~ 2.5 at 550 nm), is exposed to air. To resolve the issue, we apply solution-processed ZnO nanorods to the AgNW network as an anti-reflective coating. To obtain high performance of the optical and electrical properties of the ZnO nanorod and AgNW network composite, we optimize the process parameters - the spin coating of AgNWs and the concentration of zinc nitrate and hexamethylene tetramine (HMT - to fabricate ZnO nanorods. We verify that 10 mM of zinc nitrate and HMT show the lowest reflectance and 10% cell efficiency increase when applied to CIGS thin film solar cells.

OLED has many advantages of low voltage operation, self radiation, light weight, thin thickness, wide view angle and fast response time to overcome existing liquid crystal display (LCD)'s weakness. Therefore, It draws attention as promising display and has already developed for manufactured goods. Also, OLED is regarded as a only substitute of flexible display with a thin display. A considerable portion of the light originating film emissive centers buried in a solid film never escapes due to internal reflection at the air-film interface and is scattered as edge emission or dissipated within the solid film This is one of the major reasons why the luminous power efficiency of OLED remains low, in spite of research progress in OLED. Although several ways of overcoming this difficulty have been reported, no comprehensive method has been proposed yet. In this paper, we propose that use of anti-reflective coating layers.

Multi-layer films of $SiN_x/SiO_x$/InSnO with anti-reflective effect were grown by new-concept plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system (PECVD) with hybrid plasma source (HPS). Anti-reflective effect of $SiN_x/SiO_x$/InSnO was investigated as a function of ratio of $SiN_x$ and $SiO_x$ thickness. Multi-layers deposited by PECVD with HPS represents the enhancement of anti-reflective effect with high transmittance, comparing to the layers by conventional radio frequency (RF) sputtering system. This change is strongly related to the optical and physical properties of each layer, such as refractive index, composition, film density, and surface roughness depending on the deposition system.

Many flat panel displays displays rely on polymeric substrates with thin film coatings, such as anti-reflective, anti-static and hardcoats, to improve optical and mechanical properties of the display. In this paper we briefly discuss the principles underlying the mechanical robustness of such coated structures, and examine two fitness-for-use tests currently employed by the industry. We compare the teachings with some results obtained with our hardcoats and anti-reflective coatings.

TiO2-SiO2 system anti-reflective(AR) film was prepared to decrease reflectance on the glass surface. The experiments were carried out as fellow, 1) preparation & hydrolysis of TiO2-SiO2 system sols. 2) glass dipping, and 3) drying & heat treatment. We investigated the refractive index and thickness of film with viscosity, zeta-potential of sol, sol concentration, withdrawal speed, drying and heat treatment condition. As a result, we prepared good qualitative Quarter-Half-Quarter type anti-reflective film that had minimum, 0.02% and average reflectance, 0.087% in the visible region.

A double-layered anti-reflective coating with hydrophilic/abrasion-resistant properties was studied using anatase titanium dioxide($TiO_2$) and silicon oxycarbide($SiO_xC_y$) thin film. $TiO_2$ and $SiO_xC_y$ thin films were sequentially deposited on a glass substrate by DC sputtering and PECVD, respectively. The optical properties were measured by UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer. The abrasion-resistance and the hydrophilicity were observed by a taber abrasion tester and a contact angle analyzer, respectively. The $TiO_2/SiO_xC_y$ double-layer thin film had an average transmittance of 91.3%, which was improved by 10% in the visible light region (400 to 800 nm) than that of the $TiO_2$ single-layer thin film. The contact angle of $TiO_2/SiO_xC_y$ film was $6.9^{\circ}$ right after UV exposure. After 9 days from the exposure, the contact angle was $10.2^{\circ}$, which was $33^{\circ}$ lower than that of the $TiO_2$ single-layer film. By the abrasion test, $SiO_xC_y$ film showed a superior abrasion-resistance to the $TiO_2$ film. Consequently, the $TiO_2/SiO_xC_y$ double-layer film has achieved superior anti-reflection, hydrophilicity, and abrasion resistance over the $TiO_2$ or $SiO_xC_y$ single-layer film.

Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS)를 전구체로서 이용하여 제조된 기존의 반사방지(AR; anti-reflective) 코팅막은 대부분 수분을 쉽게 흡수할 뿐만 아니라 낮은 내마모성을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 AR 코팅막의 투과율, 소수성 및 내마모성을 향상할 목적으로 전구체로서 methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS)를 사용하고 불소 실란, 산 촉매, 염기 촉매 및 산-염기 2단계 촉매를 첨가하여 다양한 AR 코팅막을 제조하였다. 제조된 AR 코팅막은 UV-Vis, 접촉각 측정기, AFM, 연필경도 및 부착성 시험을 통해 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 경화온도가 $300^{\circ}C$일 때 코팅되지 않은 유리 기판의 투과율은 90.5%인 반면, AR 코팅된 유리 기판의 투과율은 94.8%로 증가하였다. 불소 실란을 첨가한 경우, 소수성이 크게 향상되었음을 나타내듯이 AR 코팅막 표면에서의 접촉각은 $96.3^{\circ}$에서 $108^{\circ}$까지 증가하였다. AR 코팅막의 내마모성은 산 촉매에 의해 향상되었으며, 그것의 투과율은 염기 촉매에 의해 증가하였다. 산-염기 2단계 촉매 반응에 의해 제조한 AR 코팅막의 경우, 상승 효과에 의해 촉매의 도입 없이 제조된 AR 코팅막과 비교하여 투과율 및 내마모성이 향상되었다.
