Abstract

Provided are a low emissivity film and a window having the same. According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, the low emissivity film may include a first substrate, a first metal oxide layer, a first reflective layer, a second metal oxide layer, and a second substrate. The first metal oxide layer may reflect light having a wavelength of infrared rays. The light having a first wavelength is reflected by cavity effect of the first metal oxide layer, the first reflective layer, and the second metal oxide layer, and the light having a second wavelength may pass through the low emissivity film. Thus, the low emissivity film may express a color.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A low emissivity film comprising:
a first substrate;
a first metal oxide layer disposed on the first substrate, the first metal oxide layer comprising a first metal, wherein the first metal contains at least about 90 atomic percent (at %) of one of aluminum (Al), beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), and lithium (Li);
a first reflective layer disposed on the first metal oxide layer to reflect infrared rays;
a second metal oxide layer disposed on the first reflective layer, the second metal oxide layer comprising a second metal, wherein the second metal contains at least about 90 at % of one of aluminum (Al), beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), and lithium (Li); and
a second substrate disposed on the second metal oxide layer,
wherein each of the first metal oxide layer and the second metal oxide layer has a reflective index of about 1.7 or less with respect to light having a first wavelength and light having a second wavelength,
the first wavelength is one selected from about 380 nm to about 780 nm, and
the second wavelength is one selected from about 380 nm to about 780 nm, which is different from the first wavelength.

2. The low emissivity film of claim 1 , wherein the first reflective layer contains silver (Ag) or aluminum (Al).

3. The low emissivity film of claim 1 , wherein the first metal oxide layer has a thickness of about 20 nm to about 50 nm,
the first reflective layer has a thickness of about 10 nm to about 20 nm, and
the first metal oxide layer has a thickness of about 20 nm to about 50 nm.

4. A window comprising:
a glass layer;
an adhesion film disposed on the glass layer;
a first substrate disposed on the adhesion film;
a first metal oxide layer disposed on the first substrate, the first metal oxide layer comprising a first metal, wherein the first metal contains at least about 90 atomic percent (at %) of one of aluminum (Al), beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), and lithium (Li);
a first reflective layer disposed on the first metal oxide layer to reflect infrared rays;
a second metal oxide layer disposed on the first reflective layer, the second metal oxide layer comprising a second metal, wherein the second metal contains at least about 90 at % of one of aluminum (Al), beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), and lithium (Li); and
a second substrate disposed on the second metal oxide layer,
wherein each of the first metal oxide layer and the second metal oxide layer has a reflective index of about 1.7 or less with respect to light having a first wavelength and light having a second wavelength,
the first wavelength is one selected from about 380 nm to about 780 nm, and
the second wavelength is one selected from about 380 nm to about 780 nm, which is different from the first wavelength.

5. The window of claim 4 , further comprising:
a wiring pattern disposed on the second metal oxide layer; and
a terminal connected to the wiring pattern on the second metal oxide layer.

6. The window of claim 4 , further comprising:
a second reflective layer disposed on the second metal oxide layer to reflect the infrared rays; and
a third metal oxide layer disposed on the first reflective layer, the third metal oxide layer comprising a third metal,
wherein the third metal contains at least about 90 at % of one of aluminum (Al), beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), and lithium (Li).
