This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/865,239, filed on Jan. 8, 2018, which is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2016/089111, filed on Jul. 7, 2016, which claims a priority of the Chinese patent applications with the application No. 2015103971702, application No. 2015103972207, application No. 2015204883954, application No. 2015204889185, application No. 201520488919X and application No. 2015204889202 as submitted on Jul. 8, 2015, and the entire teachings of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a technical field of optical films, especially relates to an optical film.

BACKGROUND

An optical film is a modern product combining the imprint technique, the micro-nano processing technique and the imaging technique, and has broad market prospects in the fields such as touch screens, anti-counterfeit labels and packaging, etc. In the touch screen field, an optical film can be used for manufacturing a transparent conductive film, such as the invention patent <a double-sided graphical transparent conductive film and a preparation method thereof> with the application No. 201210141850.4. In said patent, a groove network on upper and lower surfaces of an intermediate layer is made by using the imprint technique, a transparent conductive film made by using such preparation method has a three-layer structure, the intermediate layer is a substrate, upper and lower surfaces of the substrate are coated with a curable resin for imprinting a groove structure.
In the fields such as anti-counterfeit labels and packaging, an optical film, under a special structure, can produce a dynamic stereoscopic effect, for example the invention patent <a micro-optic security and image presentation system> with the application No. 200480040733.2, the invention patent <a safety film with a dynamic three-dimensional effect> with the application No. 201010180251.4, the invention patent <a packaging film with an anti-fake function with a three-dimensional dynamic displaying effect> with the application No. 201110266470.9 and the invention patent <a film of visual stereoscopic floating images and a manufacturing method thereof> with the application No. 201310229569.0 relate to an optical film structure which can produce a dynamic stereoscopic effect. Such optical film also has a three-layer structure, the intermediate layer is a substrate (referred to as a multilayer substrate layer or a film body in the above patents), upper and lower surfaces of the substrate are coated with a curable resin for imprinting a microlens array and a micrographic structure.
No matter in the touch screen field or in the fields such as anti-counterfeit labels and packaging, an optical film adopts a three-layer structure, wherein a substrate serves a function of providing a support platform to a curable resin at an imprint stage. In order to separate an imprint mold from a curable resin, thus an adhesive force between the substrate and the curable resin needs to be greater than an adhesive force between the curable resin and the imprint mold, which causes the substrate incapable of being separated from the curable resin, this is a root reason that at the present stage, an optical film stays at a three-layer structure.
Although an optical film has had revolutionary impacts on our life, since a substrate is retained in each optical film, the substrate increases the thickness of the optical film, thereby the transmittance of the optical film is reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order that the persons skilled in the art can better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the following is a clear and complete description on the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application by combining with the figures in the embodiments of the present application, obviously the described embodiments are only a part of embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons skilled in the art without paying creative labor should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
It needs to be stated that when an element is referred to as “being provided in” another element, it can be directly on another element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as “being connected to” another element, it can be directly connected to another element or intervening elements may be present simultaneously. The terms “vertical”, “horizontal”, “left”, “right” and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration, and do not represent an only embodiment.
Unless otherwise defined, all the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning normally understood by the persons skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the Description of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, not for limiting the present invention. The term “and/or” used herein includes one or more relevant arbitrary or all the combinations of a listed item.
Referring to FIG. 1, it is an optical film of a double-sided structure as provided by an embodiment of the present application, comprising: a body 1 which includes a polymer, having a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 opposite to each other; and an accommodation mechanism 2, provided on the first surface 11 and the second surface 12, and used for forming a graphic structure on a surface of the body 1; the body 1 comprising the accommodation mechanism 2 is an integral structure.
When using the above optical film of a double-sided structure, a material (an object) such as an electrically conductive material, a color material or other material can be filled in the accommodation mechanism 2 based on a demand, as shown in FIG. 2, thereby to obtain a required an electrically conductive film or a anti-counterfeit label, etc. Of course, when manufacturing the optical film of a double-sided structure, in order to make the body 1 be formed as an integral structure and have the accommodation mechanism 2, imprint and curing can be performed simultaneously during the manufacturing process, such that once the curing is completed, a colloidal polymer can be directly formed as the integrally structured body 1 having the accommodation mechanism 2.
It can be seen that in the technical solution provided by the present embodiment, since the body 1 of the optical film of a double-sided structure is an integral structure, there is no substrate in the body 1, meanwhile a manufacturing process does not need a substrate, thus the optical film of a double-sided structure provided by this embodiment is beneficial to reduce a thickness of an optical film.
Meanwhile, since the optical film of a double-sided structure provided by this embodiment has no substrate limitation of the prior art, a thickness of the optical film of a double-sided structure provided by this embodiment, relative to a thickness of an optical film of the prior art, can decrease to a greater extent, even reaching several micrometers.
Meanwhile, since there is no substrate of the prior art in the optical film of a double-sided structure provided by this embodiment, compared with an optical film having a three-layer structure in the prior art, the weight of the optical film can be reduced significantly.
Meanwhile, since there is no substrate of the prior art in the optical film of a double-sided structure provided by this embodiment, compared with an optical film having a three-layer structure in the prior art, the transmittance of the optical film can be improved significantly.
In this embodiment, a thickness of an optical film of a double-sided structure can be 2 to 150 micrometers. When imprinting the body 1, the thickness of the body 1 can be controlled by controlling the amount of a raw material and the extrusion force of the imprinting device 8 as shown in FIG. 5, the greater the extrusion force is, the smaller the thickness of the body 1 is, thereby the thinner a manufactured optical film of a double-sided structure is. Currently, electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, etc. are used to apply the “ultrathin” concept, the thickness of these electronic products also tend to be thinner, while the optical film of a double-sided structure provided by this embodiment can be used in the screens of these electronic products, and the extrusion force of the imprinting device 8 is controlled based on different demands, such that the thickness of the optical film of a double-sided structure is less than 50 micrometers. On the other hand, considering that the optical film of a double-sided structure provided by this embodiment can be also pasted on a surface of an item for decoration, in order that there is no obvious steps feeling when touching a pasted surface of an item after the optical film is pasted, by controlling the amount of a polymer and the extrusion force of the imprinting device 8, the thickness of the optical film of a double-sided structure can be less than 40 micrometers or 30 micrometers.
(1) The body 1 may include a polymer's structure having any shape. In order to facilitate practical applications, the body 1 as a whole can be in a shape of a thin layer. Of course, the shape of a thin layer can be tabular, wavy, or irregular shaped, etc., preferably, the body 1 can be solid-state tabular. Specifically, the body 1 can be an one-layer solid-state polymer layer, the one-layer polymer layer is a polymer. Accordingly, a raw material for manufacturing the body 1 can be a primary body having an one-layer polymer layer (in a colloidal state), the colloidal polymer layer can be formed integrally after imprinting and curing, to form the body 1 having an integral structure. Polymers in the body 1 can distribute evenly, or can distribute unevenly. When polymers distribute unevenly, many regions having different densities will be formed in the body 1, while there is no interface between adjacent regions, namely there is no interface in the whole body 1, so as to ensure the transmittance of the body 1.
(2) It needs to be stated that the polymer can include a class of polymers and a polymer, or the polymer can also include a mixed polymer formed by multiclass of polymers or a plurality of polymers, this embodiment is not limited to that. Of course, the body 1 is a colloidal primary body before being formed integrally, the primary body will transform from a colloidal state to a solid state under heating or irradiation by a heat source or an irradiation source. Considering that a photocurable resin and a thermosetting resin have good fidelity when forming a graphic structure, it is not easy for a pattern to affect a profile of a graphic structure due to a tension of the photocurable resin and the thermosetting resin. Preferably, the polymer can include a thermosetting resin and/or a photocurable resin. Namely, the polymer can be a thermosetting resin, a photocurable resin or a mixture of the thermosetting resin and the photocurable resin. For example, the polymer can be an UV gel (a photosensitive gel), considering that an UV gel in practice has multiple types and kinds, the polymer can be also a mixture of multiple UV gels.
(3) In order to ensure a display effect of a graphic structure of a whole optical film of a double-sided structure and to prevent display of the graphic structure from being affected by the color of the body 1 itself, the transmittance of the body 1 can be greater than 0.7. The transmittance of the body 1 being greater than 0.7 can be a transmittance for natural light being greater than 0.7. Of course, in order to obtain the body 1 having different colors, the body 1 itself can have a color, for example, the reflectivity of the body 1 with respect to yellow light can be controlled higher than 0.9, but the transmittance with respect to other color light is still greater than 0.7. Where the body 1 is transparent but have a color, a color of a graphic structure can be displayed clearly if being different from the color of the body 1. Of course, in this embodiment, the transmittance of the body 1 with respect to natural light being greater than 0.7 is a better embodiment.
(4) The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are opposite to each other, the area of the first surface 11 and of the second surface 12 can be much larger than the area of other side surfaces of the body 1. Of course, the area of the first surface 11 and of the second surface 12 can be same, or can be different. Preferably, in this embodiment, the area of the first surface 11 and of the second surface 12 being same is a preferred embodiment. The first surface 11 and of the second surface 12 can be a plane structure. Accordingly, other surfaces of the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 minus a surface of the area occupied by the accommodation mechanism 2 can be planes.
(5) The accommodation mechanism 2 is provided at the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 of the body 1. Of course, a shape and/or track of the accommodation mechanism 2 located at the first surface 11 and a shape and/or track of the accommodation mechanism 2 located at the second surface 12 can be same, or can be different. The accommodation mechanism 2 is formed by imprinting on a surface of a colloidal polymer, and its shape is unchangeable after curing. Therefore, a shape of the accommodation mechanism 2 correlates with an imprint mold. Thus, different styles of molds can be manufactured based on needs, thereby an accommodation mechanism 2 having a required style can be obtained.
(6) The accommodation mechanism 2 can be a trench, a groove, a recess or a hole. In this embodiment, the accommodation mechanism 2 being a groove is a preferred solution. A groove can be in a regular or irregular shape, or can be latticed or curved, the present application is not limited to these. When an optical film of a double-sided structure of this embodiment is used for manufacturing a conductive film, a groove being latticed can be a preferred solution. Thereby, a groove has mutually vertical meridian lines and latitude lines to divide the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 into a plurality of square regions. When an optical film of a double-sided structure of this embodiment is used for manufacturing an anti-counterfeit label or packaging, a logo, a mark or a profile or character of a pattern can be displayed by means of a groove track. Of course, a shape of a cross-section of the accommodation mechanism 2 can be also multiple, can be semicircular, semielliptic or irregularly shaped, and a shape of a cross-section of the accommodation mechanism 2 on the same one surface can include one or more of an U shape, an arc shape and an irregular shape.
(7) The accommodation mechanism 2 is used for forming a graphic structure on a surface of the body 1, specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the accommodation mechanism 2 can accommodate a filler 3 to form the graphic structure. A graphic structure can be a pattern, a text message or a track structure. Based on different accommodation mechanisms 2 on the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 and different fillers 3, a graphic structure displayed on the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 can be also different. On the same one surface, the filler 3 in the accommodation mechanism 2 can also include multiple kinds, thereby a displayed pattern can have different colors and styles.
(8) The filler 3 can comprise one or more of an electrically conductive material, a coloring material, or a dyeing material. An electrically conductive material can be silver, copper, ITO (indium tin oxid), graphene or an electrically conductive polymer, and an electrically conductive material is filled in the accommodation mechanism 2 such that the optical film of a double-sided structure is formed as electrically conductive film, thereby can be used on a touch screen of an electronic device such as a mobile phone screen and a computer screen, etc. For example, an electrically conductive material can be a nano silver ink, the nano silver ink is sintered after being filled in the accommodation mechanism 2, then filling of an electrically conductive material can be completed. There are multiple coloring materials and dyeing materials, such as a pigment, a coating. The filler 3 can be liquid or solid, for example an electrically conductive material can be a nano silver ink, a coloring material can be a nano colored powder. The filler 3 being filled in the accommodation mechanism 2 can make the accommodation mechanism 2 fail to be filled to the full, just be filled to the full or be higher than an upper edge of the accommodation mechanism 2. Taking FIG. 2 as an example, the filler 3 is in a state of just filling to the full in a groove, the upper end surface of the filler 3 is just flush with the upper edge of the groove.
(9) Referring to FIG. 3, another embodiment of the present application further provides an optical film of a double-sided structure, comprising: a body 1 including a first polymer 100 and a second polymer 200, having a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 opposite to each other; and an accommodation mechanism 2, provided on the first surface 11 and the second surface 12, and used for forming a graphic structure on a surface of the body 1; adjacent parts 150 of the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 fuse with each other, such that the body 1 comprising the accommodation mechanism 2 is an integral structure.
(10) In this embodiment, the body 1 is a cured structure, thus the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 are solid. The body 1 can be formed by fusing adjacent parts 150 of two-layer solid polymer layers, the two-layer polymer layers are the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200. Accordingly, a raw material for manufacturing the body 1 can be a primary body having a two-layer colloidal polymer layer, for example, the first polymer 100 can be formed by curing a first colloidal polymer in a colloidal state, accordingly, the second polymer 200 can be formed by curing a second colloidal polymer in a colloidal state. The first colloidal polymer and the second colloidal polymer can be a laminated structure before curing, and have a certain fusion property. Further, during extruding the first colloidal polymer and the second colloidal polymer, starting from a part where both of them contact each other, their polymers begin to fuse gradually from less to more, thereby expand to their adjacent parts 150. Meanwhile during lamination, curing can be performed simultaneously, finally causing the adjacent parts 150 of the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 to fuse each other, such that the body 1 having the accommodation mechanism 2 is an integral structure, thereby to ensure an optical film of a double-sided structure of this embodiment also does not need and use a substrate.
(11) The adjacent parts 150 of the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 fuse each other, such that a fusion location of the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 will not form an interface, to ensure the transmittance of the whole body 1 and improve the display quality of the optical film of a double-sided structure. As described above, in order to ensure fusion of the adjacent parts 150 of the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200, it needs to ensure lamination and curing to be performed simultaneously during manufacturing, of course, a certain time interval can exist between them, but it at least needs to ensure there exists an overlap between the lamination time and the curing time. Further, in order to reduce an impact of the body 1 formed by the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 on a light path of a light ray and to ensure a display effect, a difference value of a refractive index of the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 is less than 0.5.
(12) The first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 can include a class of polymers and a polymer, or the polymer can also include a mixed polymer formed by multiclass of polymers or a plurality of polymers, this embodiment is not limited to that. Of course, the body 1 is a colloidal primary body before being formed integrally, the primary body will transform from a colloidal state to a solid state under heating or irradiation by a heat source or an irradiation source. Therefore, preferably, the polymer can comprise a thermosetting resin and/or photocurable resin. Namely, the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 each can be a thermosetting resin, a photocurable resin or a mixture of the thermosetting resin and the photocurable resin. For example, the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 can be an UV gel (a photosensitive gel), considering that an UV gel in practice has multiple types and kinds, the first polymer 100 and the second polymer 200 each can be also a mixture of multiple UV gels.
(13) Referring to FIG. 4, an embodiment of the present application further provides a manufacturing method of an optical film of a double-sided structure, including the following steps.
S1. acquiring a primary body with a material being a polymer and presenting a colloidal state at a normal temperature and pressure.
In this step, a primary body as a whole can be layered, can be a colloidal polymer layer, the colloidal state can mean having a certain liquidity and having a certain adhesion. The polymer includes a polymer or multiple polymers, the polymer at this moment presents a colloidal state at normal temperatures and pressures. After a polymer is cured, the polymer transforms from a colloidal state to a solid state. Of course, it still keeps a solid state at normal temperatures and pressures.
Polymers in the primary body do not need to distribute evenly, of course, it is best to distribute evenly. When polymers distribute unevenly, it is ok to have no interface inside the formed body 1, thereby to ensure the transmittance of the body 1 and not to affect a pattern display effect. The primary body can include an one-layer polymer (layer), can also include a two-layer polymer (layer), of course, can also include multiple layers based on demands, this embodiment is not limited to these.
S2. forming a primary accommodation mechanism by using an imprinting device to imprint on the primary body's two surfaces opposite to each other.
The primary body's two surfaces opposite to each other are the primary body's two sides having the largest area, the area of the two sides is much larger than the area of other sides of the primary body. The imprinting device 8 can extrude a primary body, meanwhile can imprint a surface of a primary body to form a primary accommodation mechanism. By extruding a primary body, a thickness of the primary body can be controlled, meanwhile where a primary body is a multilayer polymer, fusion between polymers at adjacent layers can be improved. The imprinting device 8 can be a protruding mold in which an end face has a protrusion with a certain shape track. When using, the imprinting device 8 is placed at two sides of a primary body, or a primary body is inputted in the imprinting device 8.
A shape track of the primary accommodation mechanism matches with the above protrusion with a certain shape track. The primary accommodation mechanism becomes the accommodation mechanism 2 after curing. In contrast, the primary accommodation mechanism is still in a colloidal state, and still has a possibility of deformation. The primary accommodation mechanism can be a trench, a groove, a recess or a hole. In this embodiment, the primary accommodation mechanism being a groove is a preferred solution. A groove can be in a regular or irregular shape, or can be latticed or curved, the present application is not limited to these. When an optical film of a double-sided structure manufactured in this embodiment is used for manufacturing a conductive film, a groove being latticed can be a preferred solution. Thereby, a groove has mutually vertical meridian lines and latitude lines to divide the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 into a plurality of square regions. When an optical film of a double-sided structure manufactured in this embodiment is used for manufacturing an anti-counterfeit label or packaging, a logo, a mark or a profile or character of a pattern can be displayed by means of a groove track. Of course, a shape of a cross-section of the accommodation mechanism 2 can be also multiple, can be semicircular, semielliptic or irregularly shaped, and a shape of a cross-section of a primary accommodation mechanism on the same one surface can include one or more of an U shape, an arc shape and an irregular shape.
(14) Specifically, the imprinting device 8 may comprise a laminating mold having a predetermined imprint structure or at least two rollers having a predetermined imprint structure; the predetermined imprint structure matches with the primary accommodation mechanism. A predetermined imprint structure is the above protrusion with a certain shape track. Laminating molds can be two separated plate-shaped molds, on a surface of which the predetermined imprint structure is provided. When using, a primary body is placed on a plate-shaped mold, then the other plate-shaped mold is placed on the primary body, an acting force is applied on the plate-shaped molds to extrude the primary body and to form a primary accommodation mechanism on the primary body's two surfaces opposite to each other.
(15) As shown in FIG. 5, at least two rollers having a predetermined imprint structure can be placed at two sides of a primary body during imprinting, and produce an extrusion force on the primary body. The at least rollers are driven by a drive mechanism and roll. Since a roller can continuously roll and laminate, compared with a mode of laminating through a plate-shaped mold, a mode for laminating by using a roller can accelerate to a greater extent the speed of manufacturing an optical film of a double-sided structure. A predetermined imprint structure can be placed on an outer peripheral face of a roller, can be formed directly by an outer peripheral face of a roller, for example a predetermined imprint structure is imprinted at an outer peripheral face of a roller, or a predetermined imprint structure can also be a cylindrical mold, and is located on an outer peripheral face of the cylindrical mold. Different cylindrical molds have different predetermined imprint structures, the cylindrical mold can be detachably sleeved on a roller. When needing accommodation mechanisms 2 having different styles, only corresponding cylindrical molds need to be replaced.
(16) It needs to be stated that primary accommodation mechanisms on a primary body's two surfaces opposite to each other can be formed simultaneously or can be formed not simultaneously. For example, when using the above two plate-shaped molds for imprinting, since a primary body is first placed on one plate-shaped mold, then the other plate-shaped mold is placed. It can be seen that primary accommodation mechanisms on two surfaces are not formed simultaneously. Moreover, when imprinting a primary body by adopting two rollers, since the primary body is located between two rollers, and at least two rollers roll simultaneously, it can be seen that primary accommodation mechanisms on two surfaces are formed simultaneously.
S3. curing the primary body to obtain the optical film of a double-sided structure which is an integral structure and has an accommodation mechanism.
In this step, whereas a primary body can adopt a colloidal thermosetting resin and/or photocurable resin, thus an irradiation source or a heat source can be adopted to irradiate or heat the primary body, such that the primary body is cured. For example, when a primary body is a colloidal UV gel, an irradiation source can be selected as an ultraviolet source.
(17) Curing a primary body and imprinting a primary body can be performed simultaneously, or can be performed at a certain time interval. However, it needs to be pointed out that an optical film of a double-sided structure can be obtained once curing is completed, at this moment, imprinting cannot continue. When there is a certain time interval between the step S3 and the step S2, partial time of the step S3 and the step S2 can coincide. No matter that curing a primary body and imprinting a primary body are performed simultaneously or performed at a certain time interval, a certain slight deformation of a primary accommodation mechanism caused due to a primary body not in a solid state can be prevented, thereby to have an effect on a display effect. Meanwhile, it can be also ensured that the primary body is formed integrally as an optical film of a double-sided structure having an integral structure.
(18) For example, two plate-shaped molds can be ultraviolet band transmissive light, namely the ultraviolet light can penetrate the plate-shaped molds to enter their insides. When imprinting by adopting two plate-shaped molds, a primary body can be imprinted first, at this moment, a primary accommodation mechanism has been generated on a surface of the primary body. Currently, the ultraviolet light can be adopted directly for irradiation, without removing the two plate-shaped molds, and the two plate-shaped molds are removed after the primary body is completely cured. It can be seen that in this case, although the step S3 is performed after the step S2 is performed, both of them end simultaneously.
(19) Therefore, it needs to be pointed out that there is no obvious start and end sequence for the step S3 and the step S2, the step S3 and the step S2 can start simultaneously and can end simultaneously, or the step S3 is performed earlier than the step S2 but ends later than the step S2, or the step S3 is performed later than the step S2 and ends later than the step S2, or in other sequences. Other ways or improvements made by persons skilled in the art without losing the essence revealed by the present application should fall into the protection scope of the present application.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 4, in a better embodiment, an optical film of a double-sided structure provided by the present application further includes the following steps.
S4. filling a filler in the accommodation mechanism of the optical film of a double-sided structure to form a graphic structure.
(20) In the step S4, the filler 3 can comprise one or more of an electrically conductive material, a coloring material, or a dyeing material. An electrically conductive material can be silver, copper, ITO, graphene or an electrically conductive polymer, and an electrically conductive material is filled in the accommodation mechanism 2 such that the optical film of a double-sided structure is formed as electrically conductive film, thereby can be used on a touch screen of an electronic device such as a mobile phone screen and a computer screen, etc. For example, an electrically conductive material can be a nano silver ink, the nano silver ink is sintered after being filled in the accommodation mechanism 2, then filling of an electrically conductive material can be completed. There are multiple coloring materials and dyeing materials, such as a pigment, a coating. The filler 3 can be liquid or solid, for example an electrically conductive material can be a nano silver ink, a coloring material can be a nano colored powder. The filler 3 being filled in the accommodation mechanism 2 can make the accommodation mechanism 2 fail to be filled to the full, just be filled to the full or be higher than an upper edge of the accommodation mechanism 2.
(21) Whereas two surfaces of an optical film of a double-sided structure have same or different accommodation mechanisms 2, a filler 3 in an accommodation mechanism 2 on the same one surface can be one or more kind. Accordingly, for accommodation mechanisms 2 on two surfaces, the filler 3 can be also same or different, the present application is not limited to these.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 4, in another better embodiment, an optical film of a double-sided structure provided by the present application further includes the following steps:
S5. cutting the optical film of a double-sided structure into film units having a predetermined size.
(22) In this step, a cutting tool can be adopted to cut the optical film of a double-sided structure. For example, the optical film of a double-sided structure can be cut into a rectangular or square shape, a circular or an irregular shape. Of course, cutting can be also carried out based on a specific shape, style or scope of a pattern on the optical film of a double-sided structure. A predetermined size can be set based on a practical use of the optical film of a double-sided structure. For example, the optical film of a double-sided structure is used for a mobile phone screen, while currently most of mobile phone screens are 4 inches and 5.5 inches, the optical film of a double-sided structure can be cut into a corresponding size. Whereas the optical film of a double-sided structure is provided with an accommodation mechanism 2, when cutting, the integrity of the accommodation mechanism 2 needs to be ensured as much as possible. For example, when the accommodation mechanism 2 is a groove, the situation of dividing the groove into two segments needs to be avoided as much as possible.
(23) It needs to be stated that there is no obvious sequential order for performing the step S5 and the step S4, the step S5 can be performed earlier than the step S4, namely a filler 3 is filled after cutting the optical film of a double-sided structure; or the step S4 can be performed earlier than the step S5, namely first a filler 3 is filled for the optical film of a double-sided structure, then cutting is performed, the present application is not limited to these.
(24) Continuing to refer to FIG. 5, in a feasible embodiment, the imprinting device 8 can comprises a first roller 81 and a second roller 82 which are arranged in parallel and are spaced with a predetermined distance. The predetermined imprint structure comprises a first predetermined imprint structure and a second predetermined imprint structure. The first predetermined imprint structure is provided on an outer peripheral face of the first roller 81, and the second predetermined imprint structure is provided on an outer peripheral face of the first roller 82.
(25) The first predetermined imprint structure and the second predetermined imprint structure can be same, such that the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 form the same primary accommodation mechanism on two surfaces of a primary body. The first predetermined imprint structure and the second predetermined imprint structure can be different, such that the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 form different primary accommodation mechanisms on two surfaces of a primary body. The first predetermined imprint structure can locate directly on an outer peripheral face of the first roller 81 by means of engraving or forming integrally, or can be also a cylindrical mold sleeved on an outer peripheral face of the first roller 81. The second predetermined imprint structure can locate directly on an outer peripheral face of the second roller 82 by means of engraving or forming integrally, or can be also sleeved on an outer peripheral face of the second roller 82 for a cylindrical mold.
(26) The first roller 81 and the second roller 82 are arranged in parallel and are spaced with a predetermined distance, an adjustment of a thickness of an optical film of a double-sided structure can be realized by regulating a predetermined interval distance between the first roller 81 and the second roller 82. The first roller 81 and the second roller 82 can be horizontally arranged opposite to each other, or can be vertically arranged opposite to each other. Namely, the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 can be positioned on the same one horizontal plane, or can be positioned on the same one vertical plane. Of course, the present application does not define too much a positional relationship between the first roller 81 and the second roller 82, the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 only need to be arranged in parallel and be spaced with a predetermined distance. But in this embodiment, the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 being horizontally arranged opposite to each other or vertically arranged opposite to each other can be a preferred solution.
Accordingly, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the step S2 (the imprint step) includes the following steps.
S21. inputting the primary body between the first roller and the second roller;
S22. forming a primary accommodation mechanism by using the first roller and the second roller to imprint on two surfaces opposite to each other of the primary body.
In the step S21, the primary body can be inputted between the first roller and the second roller at a predetermined speed, considering that when horizontally arranging the first roller 81 and the roller 82 opposite to each other, it is easy for a speed of the primary body entering into the imprinting device 8 to be affected by the gravity, thereby being difficult to be controlled, thus at this moment, the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 can be vertically arranged opposite to each other, and the primary body is inputted between the first roller and the second roller via an input pushing mechanism.
In the step S22, the first roller and the second roller's own rolling during imprinting can produce a certain friction on the primary body, to drive the primary body to move. Relying on the input pushing mechanism and the friction, the first roller and the second roller can continuously imprint the primary body, thereby to improve the production efficiency.
Referring to FIG. 7, in a specific embodiment, the step S2 (the imprint step) and the step S3 (the curing step) can include the following steps.
S200. imprinting on a surface of the primary body by using an imprinting device to form a primary accommodation mechanism;
S300. meanwhile, curing the primary body to obtain the optical film of a double-sided structure which is an integral structure and has an accommodation mechanism.
In this embodiment, the step S3 and the step S2 are performed simultaneously, namely the step S200 and the step S300 are performed simultaneously, such that a certain slight deformation of a primary accommodation mechanism caused due to a primary body not in a solid state can be prevented, thereby to have an effect on a display effect. Meanwhile, it can be also ensured that the primary body is formed integrally as an optical film of a double-sided structure having an integral structure.
(27) Taking the imprinting device 8 being the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 as an example, the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 can be also ultraviolet band transmissive light, namely the ultraviolet light can penetrate the plate-shaped molds to enter between the first roller 81 and the second roller 82, thereby to irradiate the primary body. The first roller 81 and the second roller 82 extrude a surface of the primary body and simultaneously imprint to form a primary accommodation mechanism, meanwhile cure the primary body, curing starts from the primary body entering into the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 and ends the primary body leaving the first roller 81 and the second roller 82. Of course, the moment of starting to cure the body 1 and the moment of starting to enter between the first roller 81 and the second roller 82 are not necessarily same, and are deemed to be performed simultaneously within a time interval having a controllable range.
For another example, that the primary body may comprise a first colloidal polymer and a second colloidal polymer is taken as an example.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 8, the step S2 (the imprint step) and the step S3 (the curing step) can include the following steps.
S201. using an imprinting device to extrude the first colloidal polymer and the second colloidal polymer to adjacent parts for fusion;
S202. meanwhile, using the imprinting device to imprint on the first colloidal polymer's surface far away from the second colloidal polymer to form the primary accommodation mechanism;
S203. meanwhile, using the imprinting device to imprint on the second colloidal polymer's surface far away from the first colloidal polymer to form the primary accommodation mechanism;
S300. meanwhile, curing the primary body to obtain the optical film of a double-sided structure which is an integral structure and has an accommodation mechanism.
(28) As shown in FIG. 9, the embodiments of the present application provide a polymer film 20 which may comprise a polymer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. A microlens structure 201 is formed on the first surface; an accommodation structure 202 is formed on the second surface, the accommodation structure 202 is used for forming a graphic structure 203 which images through the microlens structure 201, as shown in FIG. 10.
(29) The polymer can be a single polymer, or can be a mixed polymer formed by mixing a plurality of single polymers which will not react. The transmittance of the polymer can be greater than 70%, namely the polymer has a transparent color or is visually displayed transparent. The polymer may be a thermosetting resin and/or photocurable resin, such as an UV gel. The microlens structure 201 and the accommodation structure 202 can be respectively positioned on a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other in an one-layer polymer layer which is composed of such polymer, and at this moment, the polymers in the polymer layer can distribute evenly, or can distribute unevenly. Since the microlens structure 201 and the accommodation structure 202 are formed in the same polymer layer, there is no interface between the microlens structure 201 and the accommodation structure 202, namely the microlens structure 201 and the accommodation structure 202 are formed as an integral structure.
(30) The microlens structure 201 may contain a microlens array which may contain one or more microlenses. There is no gap among the plurality of microlenses, so as to reduce the overall volume of the polymer film; there can be a gap among the plurality of microlenses (as shown in FIG. 11), such that the integrity of a cut microlens can be ensured when cutting the polymer film, thereby the subsequent imaging effect of the microlens can be ensured.
The accommodation structure 202 may contain one or more grooves, or may contain one or more micro grooves (i.e. grooves in a micron level). The (micro) grooves are used for being filled with a filler, so as to form a graphic structure 203.
(31) The graphic structure 203 contains a pattern formed after a filler is filled. The filler may be a material for which there is a refractive index difference between the polymer and the light, including a coloring material, a dyeing material, a metal material or an electrically conductive material, etc., such as an ink. It needs to be stated that the color of the filler can be different from the color of the polymer, such that when observing imaging of a graphic structure, people can obviously distinguish a pattern in the graphic structure.
(32) The pattern may be a pattern or a micro pattern, or may be a plurality of same or different patterns or micro patterns (i.e. patterns in a micron level), such as a pattern for which it is easy to distinguish its shape, like a graph, a grid, a character, a number, a symbol, a landscape painting and/or a Logo, etc. The different (micro) patterns can be different in terms of size of (micro) patterns; or can be different in terms of shape of (micro) patterns; or can be different in terms of formation of (micro) patterns, for example a first (micro) pattern is a company name, the second (micro) pattern is a company Logo.
(33) The accommodation structure 202 (or the graphic structure 203) can be arranged matching with the microlens structure 201, specifically the accommodation structure 202 (or the graphic structure 203) can match with the location of the microlens structure 201. For example, a micro pattern in the accommodation structure 202 is arranged directly facing a microlens in the microlens structure 201, so as to improve utilization of a polymer material. The arrangement of matching the accommodation structure 202 (or the graphic structure 203) with the microlens structure 201 can also include an arrangement of one to one corresponding microlenses in the microlens structure 201 to micro grooves in the accommodation structure (or micro patterns in the graphic structure 203), which facilitates to ensure that each cut imaging film unit contains at least one complete microlens and micro groove (or micro pattern) when cutting an imaging film.
(34) The graphic structure 203 can be located near a focal plane of the microlens structure 201, can image via the microlens structure 201, and an enlarged image of the graphic structure 203 can be observed at the microlens structure 201's side opposite to the graphic structure 203. Specifically, each micro pattern in the graphic structure 203 can be located near a corresponding focal plane in the microlens structure 201, each micro pattern can image via a corresponding microlens, and an enlarged image of a corresponding micro pattern can be observed at another side of each microlens. The focal plane can be a plane which has represented a focus of a microlens and is perpendicular to a principal optic axis of a microlens array.
(35) A distance between a top of the microlens structure 201 and a top of the accommodation structure 202 (or the graphic structure 203) can be 2150 micrometers. When a distance between a microlens structure and a graphic structure is very small, it can be understood that the graphic structure is embedded in the microlens structure, as shown in FIG. 12. As can be seen from FIG. 12, the graphic structure 503 is embedded in the microlens structure 501. The smaller a distance between a microlens structure and a graphic structure is, the thinner a thickness of a polymer film is, which can not only save the cost, but also is easier to cut off when hot stamping.
(36) In another embodiment, a surface of a graphic structure can be provided with a protection structure. The protection structure is used for protecting a graphic structure, so as to prevent deformation of a (micro) pattern in the graphic structure or external damages to a (micro) pattern, affecting an image effect.
(37) As can be seen from the above description, a polymer film provided by the embodiments of the present application can be an one-layer film structure, a microlens structure and an accommodation structure are formed in the same polymer layer (i.e. formed as an integral structure), and there is no substrate layer, which realizes the purpose of reducing a thickness of a polymer film. In addition, the polymer film has no substrate layer, thus its mechanical property is very poor, such that the polymer film can be cut off easily when hot stamping.
(38) The thickness of the polymer film in the embodiments of the present application is thin, its thickness can reach less than dozens of micrometers, even several micrometers, and it is cut off easily. Therefore, this polymer film is easily transferred, and can reduce a weight and save the cost.
(39) The embodiments of the present application also provide another polymer film 60, as shown in FIG. 13. The polymer film 60 may comprise a first polymer having a first surface and a second polymer having a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being opposite to each other; the first surface is provided with a microlens structure 601; and the second surface is provided with an accommodation structure 602 which is used for forming a graphic structure 603 which images through the microlens structure 601, as shown in FIG. 14.
(40) The first polymer and the second polymer each can be a single polymer, or can be a mixed polymer formed by a plurality of single polymers which will not react. The transmittance of the first polymer and the second polymer each can be greater than 70%, namely the first polymer and the second polymer have a transparent color or are visually displayed transparent. The first polymer and the second polymer each may be a resin material, including a thermosetting resin and/or photocurable resin, such as an UV gel. A difference of refractive indexes between the first polymer and the second polymer can be less than 0.5, so as to ensure that the effect of an image in an imaging film observed by people is not influenced.
(41) An adjacent part between the first polymer and the second polymer is formed with a fusion portion. The adjacent part can be a contact part between the first polymer and the second polymer when using a mold to extrude the first polymer and the second polymer to form a microlens preliminary structure and an accommodation preliminary structure. The fusion portion can be a region formed by fusing the first polymer and the second polymer at a predetermined proportion. The predetermined proportion can be N:M, wherein N and M respectively are a content of a first polymer and a second polymer at a juncture of adjacent parts of the microlens structure 601 and the accommodation structure 602, its value can be 0˜100%, but does not include 0 and 100%. It needs to be stated that a content of a first polymer in the microlens structure 601 is 100%; a content of a second polymer in the accommodation structure 602 is 100%. Therefore, the microlens structure 601 and the accommodation structure 202 can be deemed as an integral structure, there is no interface between a microlens structure and an accommodation structure, or there is no obvious boundary between a layer and a layer on a section of a polymer film, or a presented boundary is a regular and tidy boundary.
(42) A polymer film 60 provided by the embodiments of the present application differs from the polymer film 20 as shown in FIG. 1 in that the polymer film 60 is composed of two polymers, while the polymer film 20 is composed of one polymer. For the description of the polymer film 60, please refer to the description of the polymer film 20 in the above embodiments, detailed description thereof is omitted.
(43) As can be seen from the above descriptions, although a polymer film provided by the embodiments of the present application includes two polymers, it can be deemed as an one-layer film structure. Although a microlens structure and an accommodation structure are respectively formed on a first surface of a first polymer and a second surface of a second polymer, a fusion portion is formed between these two polymers, thus a microlens structure and an accommodation structure can be deemed as an integral structure. And a polymer film provided by the embodiments of the present application does not have a substrate layer either, thus can also realize the purpose of reducing the thickness of the polymer film. In addition, the mechanical property of the polymer film is very poor since there is no substrate layer, such that the polymer film can be cut off easily when hot stamping.
(44) The thickness of the polymer film in the embodiments of the present application is thin, its thickness can reach less than dozens of micrometers, even several micrometers, and it is cut off easily. Therefore, this polymer film is easily transferred, and can reduce a weight and save the cost.
(45) As shown in FIG. 15, the embodiments of the present application further provide another polymer film 80 which may comprise a polymer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. A microlens structure 801 is formed on the first surface; a reflection structure 804 is provided on a surface of the microlens structure 801; an accommodation structure 802 is formed on the second surface, the accommodation structure 802 is used for forming a graphic structure 803 which images through the microlens structure 801, as shown in FIG. 16.
(46) The polymer can be a single polymer, or can be a mixed polymer formed by mixing a plurality of single polymers which will not react. The transmittance of the polymer can be greater than 70%, namely the polymer has a transparent color or is visually displayed transparent. The polymer may be a thermosetting resin and/or photocurable resin, such as an UV gel. The microlens structure 801 and the accommodation structure 802 can be respectively positioned on a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other in an one-layer polymer layer which is composed of such polymer, and at this moment, the polymers in the polymer layer can distribute evenly, or can distribute unevenly. Since the microlens structure 801 and the accommodation structure 802 are formed in the same polymer layer, there is no interface between the microlens structure 801 and the accommodation structure 802, namely the microlens structure 801 and the accommodation structure 802 are formed as an integral structure.
(47) The microlens structure 801 may contain a microlens array which may contain one or more microlenses. There is no gap among the plurality of microlenses, so as to reduce the overall volume of the polymer film; there can be a gap among the plurality of microlenses, such that the integrity of a cut microlens can be ensured when cutting the polymer film, thereby the subsequent imaging effect of the microlens can be ensured.
The accommodation structure 802 may contain one or more grooves, or may contain one or more micro grooves (i.e. grooves in a micron level). The (micro) grooves are used for being filled with a filler, so as to form a graphic structure 803.
(48) The graphic structure 803 contains a pattern formed after a filler is filled. The filler may be a material for which there is a refractive index difference between the polymer and the light, including a coloring material, a dyeing material, a metal material or an electrically conductive material, etc., such as an ink. It needs to be stated that the color of the filler can be different from the color of the polymer, such that when observing imaging of a graphic structure, people can obviously distinguish a pattern in the graphic structure.
(49) The pattern may be a pattern or a micro pattern, or may be a plurality of same or different patterns or micro patterns (i.e. patterns in a micron level), such as a pattern for which it is easy to distinguish its shape, like a graph, a grid, a character, a number, a symbol, a landscape painting and/or a Logo, etc. The different (micro) patterns can be different in terms of size of (micro) patterns; or can be different in terms of shape of (micro) patterns; or can be different in terms of formation of (micro) patterns, for example a first (micro) pattern is a company name, the second (micro) pattern is a company Logo.
(50) The accommodation structure 802 (or the graphic structure 803) can be arranged matching with the microlens structure 801, specifically the accommodation structure 802 (or the graphic structure 803) can match with the location of the microlens structure 801. For example, a micro pattern in the accommodation structure 803 is arranged directly facing a microlens in the microlens structure 801, so as to improve utilization of a polymer material. The arrangement of matching the accommodation structure 802 (or the graphic structure 803) with the microlens structure 801 can also include an arrangement of one to one corresponding microlenses in the microlens structure 801 to micro grooves in the accommodation structure (or micro patterns in the graphic structure 803), which facilitates to ensure that each cut imaging film unit contains at least one complete microlens and micro groove (or micro pattern) when cutting an imaging film.
(51) The graphic structure 803 can be located near a focal plane of the microlens structure 801, can image via the microlens structure 801, and under an action of the reflection structure 804, an enlarged image of the graphic structure 803 can be observed at a side where the graphic structure 803 is located. Specifically, each micro pattern in the graphic structure 803 can be located near a corresponding focal plane in the microlens structure 801, each micro pattern can image via a corresponding microlens, and an enlarged image of a corresponding micro pattern can be observed at a side where the graphic structure 803 is located.
(52) A distance between a top of the microlens structure 801 and a top of the accommodation structure 802 (or the graphic structure 803) can be 2˜150 micrometers. When a distance between a microlens structure and a graphic structure is very small, it can be understood that the graphic structure is embedded in the microlens structure. The smaller a distance between a microlens structure and a graphic structure is, the thinner a thickness of a polymer film is, which can not only save the cost, but also is easier to cut off when hot stamping.
The reflection structure 804 can be a transparent material, an opaque material or a semi-transparent material. The thickness of the reflection structure 804 can be 0.02˜5 micrometers.
(53) As can be seen from the above description, a polymer film provided by the embodiments of the present application can be an one-layer film structure, a microlens structure and an accommodation structure are formed in the same polymer layer (i.e. formed as an integral structure), and there is no substrate layer, which realizes the purpose of reducing a thickness of a polymer film. In addition, the polymer film has no substrate layer, thus its mechanical property is very poor, such that the polymer film can be cut off easily when hot stamping. In addition, a surface of a microlens structure is provided with a reflection structure, such that in an practical application, a side where a graphic structure is located can be fit with an practical application product, and imaging of the graphic structure is observed at a side where the graphic structure is located, which can avoid the problem of affecting a user experience effect caused by irregularities of a side where a microlens structure is located, when imaging of the graphic structure is observed at a side where a microlens structure is located, thus facilitating to improve a user's experience feelings.
The thickness of the polymer film in the embodiments of the present application is thin, its thickness can reach less than dozens of micrometers, even several micrometers, and it is cut off easily. Therefore, this polymer film is easily transferred.
(54) The embodiments of the present application also provide another polymer film 100, as shown in FIG. 17. The polymer film 100 may comprise a first polymer having a first surface and a second polymer having a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being opposite to each other; a microlens structure 1001 is formed on the first surface; a reflection structure 1004 is provided on a surface of an accommodation structure opposite to the microlens structure 1001; and the second surface is provided with an accommodation structure 1002 which is used for forming a graphic structure 1003 which images through the microlens structure 1001, as shown in FIG. 18.
(55) The first polymer and the second polymer each can be a single polymer, or can be a mixed polymer formed by a plurality of single polymers which will not react. The transmittance of the first polymer and the second polymer each can be greater than 70%, namely the first polymer and the second polymer have a transparent color or are visually displayed transparent. The first polymer and the second polymer each may be a resin material, including a thermosetting resin and/or photocurable resin, such as an UV gel. A difference of refractive indexes between the first polymer and the second polymer can be less than 0.5, so as to ensure that the effect of an image in an imaging film observed by people is not influenced.
(56) An adjacent part between the first polymer and the second polymer is formed with a fusion portion. The adjacent part can be a contact part between the first polymer and the second polymer when using a mold to extrude the first polymer and the second polymer to form a microlens preliminary structure and an accommodation preliminary structure. The fusion portion can be a region formed by fusing the first polymer and the second polymer at a predetermined proportion. The predetermined proportion can be N:M, wherein N and M respectively are a content of a first polymer and a second polymer at a juncture of adjacent parts of the microlens structure 601 and the accommodation structure 602, its value can be 0˜100%, but does not include 0 and 100%. It needs to be stated that a content of a first polymer in the microlens structure 1001 is 100%; a content of a second polymer in the accommodation structure 1002 is 100%. Therefore, the microlens structure 1001 and the accommodation structure 1002 can be deemed as an integral structure, there is no interface between a microlens structure and an accommodation structure, or there is no obvious boundary between a layer and a layer on a section of a polymer film, or a presented boundary is a regular and tidy boundary.
(57) A polymer film 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application differs from the polymer film 80 as shown in FIG. 15 in that the polymer film 100 is composed of two polymers, while the polymer film 80 is composed of one polymer. For the detailed description of the polymer film 100, please refer to the description of the polymer film 80 in the above embodiments, detailed description thereof is omitted.
(58) As can be seen from the above descriptions, although a polymer film provided by the embodiments of the present application includes two polymers, it can be deemed as an one-layer film structure. Although a microlens structure and an accommodation structure are respectively formed on a first surface of a first polymer and a second surface of a second polymer, a fusion portion is formed between these two polymers, thus a microlens structure and an accommodation structure can be deemed as an integral structure. And a polymer film provided by the embodiments of the present application does not have a substrate layer either, thus can also realize the purpose of reducing the thickness of the polymer film.

There is no gap among the plurality of microlenses, so as to reduce the overall volume of the polymer film; there can be a gap among the plurality of microlenses (as shown in FIG. 22), such that the integrity of a cut microlens can be ensured when cutting the polymer film, thereby the subsequent imaging effect of the microlens can be ensured.
The accommodation structure 202 may contain one or more grooves, or may contain one or more micro grooves (i.e. grooves in a micron level). The (micro) grooves are used for being filled with a filler, so as to form a graphic structure 203.
(78) The graphic structure 203 contains a pattern formed after a filler is filled. The filler may be a material for which there is a refractive index difference between the first and second polymers and the light, including a coloring material, a dyeing material, a metal material or an electrically conductive material, etc., such as an ink. It needs to be stated that the color of the filler can be different from the color of the first and second polymers, such that when observing imaging of a graphic structure, people can obviously distinguish a pattern in the graphic structure.
(79) The pattern may be a pattern or a micro pattern, or may be a plurality of same or different patterns or micro patterns (i.e. patterns in a micron level), such as a pattern for which it is easy to distinguish its shape, like a graph, a grid, a character, a number, a symbol, a landscape painting and/or a Logo, etc. The different (micro) patterns can be different in terms of size of (micro) patterns; or can be different in terms of shape of (micro) patterns; or can be different in terms of formation of (micro) patterns, for example a first (micro) pattern is a company name, the second (micro) pattern is a company Logo.

For example, a micro pattern in the accommodation structure 203 is arranged directly facing a microlens in the microlens structure 201, so as to improve utilization of a polymer material. The arrangement of matching the accommodation structure 202 (or the graphic structure 203) with the microlens structure 201 can also include an arrangement of one to one corresponding microlenses in the microlens structure 201 to micro grooves in the accommodation structure 202 (or micro patterns in the graphic structure 203), which facilitates to ensure that each cut film unit contains at least one complete microlens and micro groove (or micro pattern) when cutting a polymer film.

The smaller a distance between a microlens structure and a graphic structure is, the thinner a thickness of a polymer film is, which can not only save the cost, but also is easier to cut off when hot stamping.
(83) In an embodiment, a surface of a microlens structure is provided with a reflection structure, as shown in FIG. 23. The reflection structure 504 is located on the microlens structure 501's surface far away from the graphic structure 503.
