Abstract

A transparent laminate film which has visible light transmittance, sunlight blocking properties, radio wave transmittance and good appearance is provided. A transparent laminate film includes a laminate structure formed on at least one side of a transparent polymer film, in which a metal oxide layer and a metal layer are laminated, the metal oxide layer containing an organic component, wherein grooves having a width of 30 μm or less are formed in the laminate structure, and an overall surface resistance is 150 Ω/□ or more. Preferably, the grooves are numerous cracks, or are formed by laser processing. Further, preferably, the transparent polymer film has an easy adhesion layer formed on at least one side thereof, and the laminate structure is formed on top of the easy adhesion layer. Furthermore, preferably, the metal oxide layer containing the organic component is formed by a sol-gel method using optical energy during sol-gel curing.

Claims (12)

1. A transparent laminate film comprising a laminate structure formed on at least one side of a transparent polymer film, in which a metal oxide layer and a metal layer are laminated, the metal oxide layer containing an organic component, wherein grooves having a width of 30 μm or less are formed in the laminate structure, and an overall surface resistance is 150 Ω/□ or more, wherein the transparent polymer film has an easy adhesion layer formed on at least one side thereof, and the laminate structure is formed on top of the easy adhesion layer.

2. The transparent laminate film according to claim 1 , wherein the grooves are numerous cracks.

3. The transparent laminate film according to claim 1 , wherein the grooves are formed by laser processing.

4. The transparent laminate film according to claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide layer containing the organic component is formed by a sol-gel method using optical energy during sol-gel curing.

5. The transparent laminate film according to claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide layer is a titanium oxide layer.

6. The transparent laminate film according to claim 1 , wherein the metal layer is one of a silver layer and a silver alloy layer.

7. The transparent laminate film according to claim 1 , wherein visible light transmittance is 60% or more.

8. The transparent laminate film according to claim 1 being used for transmission of radio wave of a frequency of 100 MHz or more.

9. A method for producing a transparent laminate film, comprising:

preparing a transparent polymer film having an easy adhesion layer formed on at least one side thereof;

forming a laminate structure by laminating a metal oxide layer and a metal layer on top of the easy adhesion layer on the at least one side, the metal oxide layer containing an organic component; and

forming numerous cracks having a width of 30 μm or less in the laminate structure so that an overall surface resistance is 150 Ω/□ or more.
