The granted patent US12044859B2 describes an innovative optical device that comprises a colored reflector layer and a selective light modulator layer. The colored reflector layer features multiple materials, including copper, bronze, various colored organic materials and compounds, and metal coordination complexes, among others. This layer has three surfaces, with at least two exposed to air, and is designed to reflect light in a specific color. The selective light modulator layer, which is applied directly onto the first surface of the colored reflector layer, is a dry film that includes an organic polymer host material, dispersed particles, a photoinitiator, and various additives aimed at enhancing performance. Notably, the colored reflector layer and the selective light modulator layer can be of different colors, allowing for versatile applications in optical technologies.

Additionally, the patent outlines a method for manufacturing this optical device, which involves depositing the colored reflector layer onto a substrate and subsequently applying the selective light modulator layer using a liquid coating process. The method emphasizes the use of specific materials and processes, such as physical vapor deposition for the colored reflector layer and various liquid coating techniques for the selective light modulator layer. The claims also highlight the potential for improved color attributes and the inclusion of multiple layers, enhancing the device's functionality. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive approach to creating advanced optical devices with customizable color properties and effective light modulation capabilities.
