Abstract

A coating layer for blocking EMI is disclosed, which comprises a base substrate, and a deposition member formed at one surface of the base substrate, comprising a plurality of repetitive unit films which include metal layers and high refraction layers, wherein any one of the outmost metal layers of the deposition member has a minimum thickness among the metal layers. Also, an optical filter which includes the coating layer and a display apparatus are disclosed.

Claims (33)

1. An optical filter for a display apparatus comprising:

a base substrate; and

a deposition member for blocking electromagnetic interference (EMI), formed at one surface of the base substrate, and comprising high refraction layers and a plurality of repetitive unit films each repetitive unit film including a metal layer,

wherein two of the plurality of repetitive unit films each form outmost unit films on opposite ends of the deposition member, the metal layer of each of the outmost unit films is an outmost metal layer, one of the outmost metal layers has a minimum thickness among the metal layers, and

the other metal layers except for the metal layer having the minimum thickness have the same thickness as one another, the same thickness being different from the minimum thickness, and

wherein the optical filter has no other repetitive unit film outside the deposition member.

2. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the outmost metal layer adjacent to the base substrate among the outmost metal layers of the deposition member has the minimum thickness among the metal layers.

3. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the high refraction layers are made of Nb 2 O 5 .

4. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the metal layers are made of Ag.

5. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the repetitive unit films further include at least one metal oxide layer formed near the metal layers.

6. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the repetitive unit films include a first metal oxide layer and a second metal oxide layer which are adjacent to the metal layers.

7. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the at least one metal oxide layer is made of AZO.

8. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 1 , comprising three to six repetitive unit films.

9. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 8 , comprising four repetitive unit films.

10. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein a total thickness of the metal layers within the repetitive unit films is in the range of 48 nm to 52 nm.

11. The optical for a display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the metal layer having the minimum thickness has a thickness in the range of 8 nm to 12.5 nm.

12. The optical filter for a display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a color film arranged near the base substrate or the deposition member; and

an anti-reflection film arranged on the color film.

13. The optical filter for the display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the base substrate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the first surface is adhered on the color film, a black ceramic is formed in an edge area of the second surface, and the deposition member is formed on the second surface.

14. The optical filter for the display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the base substrate, the color film, and the anti-reflection film are adhered to one another by a PSA.

15. The optical filter for the display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a protective film formed on the deposition member to protect the deposition member.

16. The optical filter for the display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the protective film is formed on the deposition member to partially expose an edge area of the deposition member.

17. The optical filter for the display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein a conductive paste is formed on the black ceramic.

18. The optical filter for the display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base substrate is made of a semi-tempered glass or a transparent high polymer resin.

19. The optical filter for the display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the base substrate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the deposition member is formed on the first surface, the deposition member is adhered to the color film, and a black ceramic is formed in an edge area of the second surface.

20. The optical filter for the display apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the base substrate and a side portion of the color film are surrounded by a conductive tape.

21. A display apparatus which includes a display panel converting an electric signal into an image signal when a power source is applied to the display apparatus, displaying an image, and an optical filter being arranged on one surface of the display panel, the optical filter facing the display panel and comprising:

a base substrate, and

a deposition member for blocking EMI, formed at one surface of the base substrate, comprising high refraction layers and a plurality of repetitive unit films each repetitive unit film including a metal layer,

wherein two of the plurality of repetitive unit films each form outmost unit films on opposite ends of the deposition member, the metal layer of each of the outmost unit films is an outmost metal layer, one of the outmost metal layers has a minimum thickness among the metal layers, and

the other metal layers except for the metal layer having the minimum thickness have the same thickness as one another, the same thickness being different from the minimum thickness, and

wherein the optical filter has no other repetitive unit film outside the deposition member.
