Abstract

A light-absorbing, neutral density filter for an electronic device display. More specifically, a light-absorbing, neutral density filter applied as a shield, protective film, or protective coating layer for an electronic device display that blocks ultraviolet light, high energy visible light, and at least a portion of blue light. The neutral density filter comprises a polymer substrate and an absorbing agent.

Claims (20)

1. An electronic display device comprising:

a light-emitting display device; and

a filter comprising a polymer substrate,

wherein the filter allows transmission at least 78% of the energy emitted by the light-emitting device over a wavelength range of about 400 nm to about 520 nm, and

wherein the filter allows transmission of no more than 79% of energy emitted by the light-emitting device over a wavelength range of from about 415 nm to about 455 nm and transmission of no more than 45% of energy emitted by the light-emitting device over a wavelength range of from about 625 nm to about 740 nm.

2. An electronic display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting display device comprises a light-emitting diode (LED), a backlit LED, or a liquid crystal device (LCD).

3. An electronic display device according to claim 1 , wherein the filter allows transmission of no more than 82% of energy emitted by the light-emitting display device over a wavelength range of from about 565 nm to about 580 nm.

4. An electronic display device according to claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises a capacity grid layer.

5. An electronic display device according to claim 1 , wherein the filter comprises a dye or a pigment.

6. An electronic display device according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer substrate is selected from polycarbonates, PVCs, epoxies, polyesters, polyethylenes, polyamides, and combinations thereof.

7. An electronic display device comprising:

a light-emitting display device; and

a filter comprising a polymer substrate,

wherein the filter allows transmission of no more than about 1% of energy emitted by the light-emitting device over a wavelength range of from about 380 nm to about 400 nm, and at least 66% of the energy emitted by the light-emitting device over a wavelength range of from about 400 nm to about 520 nm, and

wherein the filter allows transmission of no more than 64% of energy emitted by the light-emitting device over a wavelength range of from about 415 nm to about 455 nm and transmission of no more than 52% of energy emitted by the light-emitting display device over a wavelength range of from about 625 nm to about 740 nm.

8. An electronic display device according to claim 7 , wherein the light-emitting display device comprises a light-emitting diode (LED), a backlit LED, or a liquid crystal device (LCD).

9. An electronic display device according to claim 7 , wherein the filter allows transmission of no more than 68% of energy emitted by the light-emitting display device over a wavelength range of from about 565 nm to about 580 nm.

10. An electronic display device according to claim 7 , wherein the device further comprises a capacity grid layer.

11. An electronic display device according to claim 7 , wherein the filter comprises a dye or a pigment.

12. An electronic display device according to claim 7 , wherein the polymer substrate is selected from polycarbonates, PVCs, epoxies, polyesters, polyethylenes, polyamides, and combinations thereof.
