Description

  The present invention relates to a timepiece dial and a timepiece.

Timepieces and timepiece dials are required to have a function as a practical product and a decorative property (aesthetic appearance) as a decorative product.
Conventionally, a timepiece dial has generally been made of a metal material in order to obtain a high-quality appearance. There is also an attempt to use a dial plate made of an alloy having a complicated composition in order to obtain an appearance that is difficult to express with pure materials such as pure gold and pure silver (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  In recent years, radio timepieces having a function of receiving radio waves and automatically adjusting the time are becoming widespread. Such a dial for a radio timepiece is required to have excellent radio wave permeability. For this reason, in a radio timepiece, it is difficult to apply a dial made of a metal material, and a dial made of a plastic material is used. In addition, the plastic material is excellent in moldability and can suitably cope with the manufacture of a complicated-shaped dial. However, the dial plate made of a plastic material lacks luxury and has an inferior aesthetic appearance.

DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
<< First Embodiment >>
<Watch dial>
First, a first embodiment of the timepiece dial of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a first embodiment of the timepiece dial of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view for explaining an example of the shape (pattern) of the opening of the reflective film. FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view for explaining another example of the shape (pattern) of the opening included in the reflective film.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the timepiece dial 1 of the present embodiment includes a substrate (base material) 2, a lacquer film 3, a reflective film (metal film) 4, and an oxide film 5. . The timepiece dial 1 is usually used so that the surface side (the upper side in FIG. 1) of the substrate 2 covered with the lacquer film 3 faces the observer side (about a second embodiment to be described later). The same). In the following description, the upper side in FIG. 1 is described as “(external light) incident side” and the lower side in FIG. 1 is described as “(external light) exit side” (FIGS. 4, 5, and 5 to be described later). 6 and FIG. 7).

[substrate]
The substrate 2 is made of a material having electromagnetic wave permeability. Thereby, for example, the timepiece dial 1 can be suitably applied to a solar timepiece including a solar battery, a radio timepiece, or the like. In the present invention, the electromagnetic wave transmission property may be any electromagnetic wave transmission property such as visible light (hereinafter, also simply referred to as light), radio waves, etc., as long as it shows transparency with respect to electromagnetic waves in a predetermined wavelength region.

  In the case where the substrate 2 has light transmittance, the light transmittance of the substrate 2 is preferably 80% or more, and more preferably 90% or more. As described above, since the light transmittance of the substrate 2 is sufficiently high, the light transmittance of the timepiece dial 1 as a whole can be sufficiently high. As a result, the timepiece dial 1 can be suitably applied to a solar timepiece. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the light transmittance refers to the light transmittance when xenon white light defined in JIS Z 8902 is used as a light source. Further, in the present specification, the light reflectance and the absorptance are similar to the above, respectively, when xenon white light defined by JIS Z 8902 is used as a light source unless otherwise specified. It refers to the reflectance and absorption rate.

  Examples of the material having light transmissivity and radio wave transmissivity include various plastic materials, various glass materials, various ceramic materials, and the like. The material constituting the substrate 2 is preferably a plastic material. The plastic material is generally excellent in moldability (freedom of molding), and can be suitably applied to manufacture the timepiece dial 1 having various shapes. Further, if the substrate 2 is made of a plastic material, it is advantageous for reducing the manufacturing cost of the timepiece dial 1. In addition, plastic materials are generally superior in light (visible light) and radio wave permeability as compared to other materials. In the following description, an example in which the substrate 2 is made of a plastic material will be mainly described.

Examples of the plastic material constituting the substrate 2 include various thermoplastic resins, various thermosetting resins, and the like. For example, polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS resin), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). ), Etc., polyolefin resins such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc., or copolymers, blends, polymer alloys, etc. mainly comprising these. These can be used, and one or more of these can be used in combination (for example, as a blend resin, a polymer alloy, a laminate, etc.). In particular, the substrate 2 is preferably composed mainly of polycarbonate and / or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer. Thereby, especially the intensity | strength as the timepiece dial 1 whole can be made excellent. Further, when the timepiece dial 1 is manufactured, the degree of freedom in forming the substrate 2 is increased (easiness of forming is improved), so that even a more complicated timepiece dial 1 can be easily formed. And it can manufacture reliably. Further, when the substrate 2 is made of a material containing at least one selected from polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS resin), the adhesion between the substrate 2 and the coating film is improved. It can be made particularly excellent. Polycarbonate is relatively inexpensive among various plastic materials, and can contribute to further reduction in production cost of the timepiece dial 1. The ABS resin also has particularly excellent chemical resistance, and the durability of the timepiece dial 1 as a whole can be further improved.
In addition, the board | substrate 2 may contain components other than a plastic material. Examples of such components include plasticizers, antioxidants, colorants (including various color formers, fluorescent substances, phosphorescent substances, etc.), brighteners, fillers, and the like.

The substrate 2 may have a substantially uniform composition at each site, or may have a different composition depending on the site.
The shape and size of the substrate 2 are not particularly limited, and are usually determined based on the shape and size of the timepiece dial 1. In the illustrated configuration, the substrate (base material) 2 has a flat plate shape, but may have a curved plate shape, for example.

  Although the average thickness of the board | substrate 2 is not specifically limited, It is preferable that it is 200-700 micrometers, and it is more preferable that it is 300-600 micrometers. When the average thickness of the substrate 2 is a value within the above range, when the timepiece dial 1 is applied to a solar timepiece, the light transmission of the timepiece dial 1 is sufficiently high, It is possible to more effectively prevent the self color from being seen through, and to make the aesthetic appearance (luxury feeling) particularly excellent.

[Lacquer film]
On the incident side of the external light with respect to the substrate 2, a lacquer film 3 mainly composed of lacquer is provided. By having such a lacquer film 3, the appearance of the timepiece dial 1 can be made excellent with a natural lacquer texture. In the present specification, “mainly” means that the content in the target structure (for example, the content of lacquer in the lacquer film 3) is 50 wt% or more, and in particular, 90 wt%. The above is preferable, and 95 wt% or more is more preferable.

  Hereinafter, lacquer will be described. Lacquer is generally obtained by purifying a sap obtained from a tree of Ursiaceae. In addition, lacquer generally contains urushiol, thiol, laccol, and components similar to them (eg, curdall). Lacquer oxidizes and polymerizes these components while taking in oxygen in the air by an enzyme contained in the lacquer, heat, or the like, thereby forming a film. The formed lacquer film has a unique texture and color, has an excellent aesthetic appearance, and is excellent in water resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. For this reason, the dial 1 for timepieces using lacquer as a material can obtain the unique texture and color tone of lacquer and has an excellent aesthetic appearance. In addition, the timepiece dial 1 is excellent in durability.

Moreover, it is preferable that lacquer contains urushiol as a main component. Thereby, the dial 1 for timepieces becomes the thing in which the texture and color tone of the lacquer film 3 are especially excellent, and the aesthetic appearance is especially excellent.
In addition, lacquer generally has radio wave transparency and light transparency. The light transmittance of the lacquer film 3 varies depending on the thickness of the lacquer film 3, the type of lacquer, and the like, but is preferably 5 to 80%, and more preferably 10 to 50%. When the light transmittance of the lacquer film 3 is a value within the above range, the light transmission of the timepiece dial 1 as a whole is sufficiently excellent, while the aesthetic appearance of the timepiece dial 1 (high quality) Feeling) can be made particularly excellent. In addition, since the transmission of radio waves of lacquer is extremely high, it can be suitably applied to radio timepieces, and even when the dial 1 for timepieces is relatively thick, Usually not a problem.

Moreover, it is preferable that lacquer contains Fe. As a result, the lacquer can exhibit a particularly dark black color, and the unique color tone and texture appear more prominently. For this reason, the timepiece dial 1 using such a lacquer is particularly excellent in the texture and color tone of the lacquer, and the aesthetic appearance is particularly excellent.
In addition, the lacquer film 3 may contain components other than lacquer. For example, a plastic component, a colorant and the like may be included. As the colorant, for example, a dye or a pigment can be used. By using these colorants, the color tone of the lacquer can be freely changed, and the design of the dial 1 for timepiece to be obtained can have variations. In addition, the pigment has excellent light resistance, and is particularly advantageous for stably maintaining an excellent appearance over a long period of time. Examples of the pigment include inorganic pigments and organic pigments, and known pigments can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Specific examples include, for example, mercury sulfide, ferric oxide, sulfide. Examples include arsenic and titanium oxide.

  Moreover, although the average thickness of the lacquer film 3 is not specifically limited, It is preferable that it is 5-100 micrometers, and it is more preferable that it is 10-60 micrometers. When the average thickness of the lacquer film 3 is a value within the above range, the lacquer texture has a deeper depth, while the light transmittance of the watch dial 1 as a whole is sufficiently excellent. It can be expressed as having a feeling, and the aesthetic appearance (luxury feeling) of the timepiece dial 1 can be made particularly excellent.

By the way, lacquer has a unique texture (color tone, transparency, gloss, etc.) and exhibits an appearance that is difficult to express with other materials. However, when a dial made of lacquer is simply incorporated in a watch, the appearance of the dial is dark and dull, and the texture inherent to lacquer cannot be fully exhibited. This is considered to be due to the following reasons. In other words, in a watch having a dial, generally, a movement or the like housed in the case is arranged on the back side of the dial, so the back side of the dial is shaded, and is unique to lacquer. It is thought that transparency, glossiness, etc. are not expressed.
Therefore, in the present invention, a reflective film having a function of reflecting external light is provided on the back side of the lacquer film.

[Reflective film (metal coating)]
A reflective film 4 is provided between the substrate 2 and the lacquer film 3 described above.
A part of the light incident from the outer surface (upper side in the figure) of the timepiece dial 1 is reflected by the first surface 31 of the lacquer film 3 (surface opposite to the surface facing the reflective film 4). And enters the inside of the lacquer film 3. The light that has entered the inside of the lacquer film 3 is reflected by the surface of the reflection film 4 (the surface facing the lacquer film 3). As described above, the reflective film 4 is arranged on the back side of the lacquer film 3 so that the light reflected by the first surface 31 of the lacquer film is transmitted through the inside of the lacquer film 3 from the second surface 32 side. Light can be emitted to the viewer side. As a result, the texture inherent to lacquer can be sufficiently exhibited, and the aesthetic appearance (luxury feeling) of the timepiece dial 1 can be sufficiently improved.

  The reflective film 4 may be made of any material as long as it has a function of reflecting light, but is preferably made of a metal material. Thereby, the texture which lacquer originally has can be expressed more effectively, and the aesthetic appearance (luxury feeling) of the timepiece dial 1 can be made particularly excellent. In the following description, the case where the reflective film 4 is a metal film mainly composed of a metal material will be mainly described.

  As the metal material constituting the reflective film (metal coating) 4, various metals (including alloys) can be used. More specifically, for example, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Mg, Cr, Mn, Examples include Mo, Nb, Al, V, Zr, Sn, Au, Pd, Pt, Hf, Ag, Co, In, W, Ti, Rh, and alloys containing at least one of these. In particular, when the reflective film 4 is made of a material (including an alloy) containing at least one selected from the group consisting of Ag and Al, the reflection by the reflective film 3 as described above is more effective. The appearance of the timepiece dial 1 can have a more vivid color tone. Further, when the reflective film (metal film) 4 is made of the above-described material, the adhesion between the reflective film (metal film) 4 and the oxide film 5 described later is particularly excellent. be able to. Further, the reflective film 4 may or may not have a uniform composition in each part. For example, the reflective film 4 may be a material (gradient material) in which the contained component (composition) sequentially changes in the thickness direction. Further, the reflective film 4 may be a laminate having a plurality of layers. Moreover, when the reflective film 4 is a laminated body, you may have the layer comprised with the material which does not contain a metal material substantially, for example. More specifically, the reflective film 4 may have a configuration in which a layer made of a metal oxide or the like is interposed between two layers made of a metal material.

In the present embodiment, the reflective film 4 is provided in contact with the lacquer film 3. Thereby, the light reflected on the surface of the reflective film 4 is directly incident on the lacquer film 3, and the appearance of the timepiece dial 1 can have a more vivid color tone.
The average thickness of the reflective film 4 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.005 to 2.5 μm, more preferably 0.007 to 0.9 μm, and 0.01 to 0.5 μm. Is more preferable. When the average thickness of the reflective film 4 is within the above range, the function of the reflective film 4 described above can be more effectively exhibited while sufficiently preventing the internal stress of the reflective film 4 from increasing. The aesthetic appearance of the timepiece dial 1 can be made particularly excellent. Further, the adhesion between the reflective film (metal film) 4 and the oxide film 5 described later can be made particularly excellent. On the other hand, if the average thickness of the reflective film 4 is less than the lower limit value, depending on the constituent material of the reflective film 4 and the like, it is difficult to fully exhibit the function of the reflective film 4 described above. It may be difficult to make the aesthetic appearance of the entire plate 1 sufficiently excellent. Further, depending on the constituent materials of the reflective film (metal film) 4 and the oxide film 5, it may be difficult to sufficiently improve the adhesion between the reflective film (metal film) 4 and the oxide film 5. is there. On the other hand, when the average thickness of the reflective film 4 exceeds the upper limit value, the tendency of the transmittance of electromagnetic waves (radio waves) as the whole timepiece dial plate 1 appears significantly, and the timepiece dial plate 1 becomes a radio timepiece. It becomes difficult to apply. Moreover, when the average thickness of the reflective film 4 exceeds the upper limit, the variation in film thickness at each part of the reflective film 4 tends to increase. Further, when the average thickness of the reflective film 4 is particularly large, the internal stress of the reflective film 4 becomes high and cracks and the like are likely to occur.

  The reflective film 4 has an opening 41 provided in a predetermined pattern. Thus, by having the opening 41, a part of the light incident on the timepiece dial 1 can be guided to the substrate 2, and as a result, can be emitted from the side opposite to the incident side. . That is, a part of the light incident on the timepiece dial 1 can be transmitted. As described above, the lacquer film 3 is provided on the light incident side of the reflective film 4 while ensuring the light transmittance of the timepiece dial 1 as a whole by having the opening 41 as described above. For this reason, the presence of the opening 41 is difficult to be visually recognized by an observer due to the appearance unique to lacquer. Therefore, by setting it as such a structure, the outstanding light transmittance and the outstanding aesthetic appearance can be made to make compatible.

  When the substrate 2 (timepiece dial 1) is viewed in plan, the aperture ratio occupied by the opening 41 in the reflective film 4 is preferably 15 to 55%, and preferably 25 to 50%. More preferred. When the aperture ratio of the reflection film 4 is a value within the above range, the aesthetic appearance (luxury feeling) of the timepiece dial 1 is particularly excellent while sufficiently improving the transmittance of light (external light). can do. On the other hand, if the aperture ratio of the reflective film 4 is less than the lower limit value, it becomes difficult to sufficiently improve the light transmittance of the timepiece dial 1 as a whole. On the other hand, when the aperture ratio of the reflective film 4 exceeds the upper limit, it becomes difficult to make the aesthetic appearance of the timepiece dial 1 sufficiently excellent depending on the thickness of the lacquer film 3 or the like.

  The opening 41 may have any shape. Examples of the shape of the opening 41 when the substrate 2 (timepiece dial 1) is viewed in plan include a substantially circular shape, a substantially elliptical shape, a substantially polygonal shape, and a slit shape. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the opening 41 has a large number of island-shaped regions (reflective films) formed of the reflective film 4 when the substrate 2 (clock dial 1) is viewed in plan view. 4 real part) may be provided. Thereby, in the external appearance of the timepiece dial 1, the presence of the opening 41 can be made inconspicuous, and the productivity of the timepiece dial 1 can be made particularly excellent.

  Further, the width of the opening 41 represented by W in the figure (the diameter when the opening 41 is substantially circular) is preferably 10 to 150 μm, more preferably 30 to 140 μm. More preferably, it is 35-130 micrometers. When the width W of the opening 41 is a value within the above range, the light transmission as the timepiece dial 1 is sufficiently high, and the aesthetic appearance (aesthetics) of the timepiece dial 1 is particularly excellent. Can be. On the other hand, if the width W of the opening 41 is less than the lower limit, it becomes difficult to sufficiently increase the light transmittance of the timepiece dial 1 as a whole, depending on the aperture ratio of the reflective film 4 and the like. there is a possibility. On the other hand, when the width W of the opening 41 exceeds the upper limit, depending on the thickness of the lacquer film 3 or the like, it may be difficult to make the appearance of the timepiece dial 1 sufficiently excellent. .

  Moreover, it is preferable that the pitch of the opening part 41 represented by P in a figure is 70-400 micrometers, it is more preferable that it is 80-350 micrometers, and it is further more preferable that it is 90-300 micrometers. When the pitch P of the openings 41 is a value within the above range, the light transmission as the timepiece dial 1 is sufficiently high, and the aesthetic appearance (aesthetics) of the timepiece dial is particularly excellent. Can be. Note that the pitch of the openings 41 refers to the center-to-center distance between the adjacent openings 41 and 41, and when there are a plurality of adjacent openings 41, the pitch between the adjacent openings 41 Refers to the distance between centers.

[Oxide coating]
An oxide film 5 is provided between the substrate 2 and the reflective film (metal film) 4, in other words, on the surface opposite to the surface facing the lacquer film 3 of the reflective film (metal film) 4. . Thus, in this embodiment, the metal film 4 as a reflective film is not directly provided on the surface of the substrate 2 mainly composed of a plastic material, and the oxide film 5 is interposed between the substrate 2 and the metal film 4. Is intervening. This improves the adhesion between the substrate 2 and the metal coating 4 (adhesion through the oxide coating 5), in particular, the adhesion of the metal coating 4 formed by vapor deposition as described later. It is possible to effectively prevent the metal coating 4 from floating or peeling off. As a result, the timepiece dial 1 is excellent in durability.

The oxide film 5 is mainly composed of a metal oxide. As the metal oxide constituting the oxide coating 5, oxides of various metals can be used, preferably Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Mg, Cr, Mn, Mo, Nb, Al, V, Zr. , Sn, Au, Pd, Pt, Ag, Co, In, W, Ti, and Rh oxides (including complex oxides). When the oxide film 5 is made of a material containing at least one selected from titanium oxide (including a complex oxide) and chromium oxide (including a complex oxide), the substrate 2 and the metal film 4 It is possible to make the adhesiveness to be more excellent. Further, the constituent material of the oxide coating 5 may include at least one of the elements constituting the metal coating 4. In other words, the oxide coating 5 and the metal coating 4 may be made of a material containing a common element at least at a site where they are in contact with each other. For example, when the metal film 4 contains M (where M represents a metal element), the oxide film 5 has a composition formula of MO _{n / 2} (where M represents a metal element and n represents the valence of M). May be included. Thereby, the adhesiveness of the oxide film 5 and the metal film 4 further improves. In addition, the oxide film 5 may or may not have a uniform composition at each site. For example, the oxide film 5 may be a material (gradient material) in which the contained component (composition) sequentially changes in the thickness direction. The oxide film 5 may be a laminate having a plurality of layers. Moreover, when the oxide film 5 is a laminated body, you may have the layer comprised with the material which does not contain a metal oxide substantially, for example. More specifically, the oxide film 5 may have a configuration in which a layer made of a plastic material or the like is interposed between two layers made of a metal oxide.

  Moreover, although the average thickness of the oxide film 5 is not specifically limited, It is preferable that it is 0.005-1.0 micrometer, It is more preferable that it is 0.007-0.5 micrometer, 0.01-0. More preferably, it is 3 μm. When the average thickness of the oxide film 5 is within the above range, the adhesion between the substrate 2 and the metal film 4 is particularly excellent while sufficiently preventing the internal stress of the oxide film 5 from increasing. Can be. Further, when the average thickness of the oxide coating 5 is within the above range, the function of preventing reflection of external light on the surface of the metal oxide coating 5 is efficiently exhibited, and the aesthetic appearance of the timepiece dial 1 is obtained. (Luxury) can be made particularly excellent. On the other hand, when the average thickness of the oxide film 5 is less than the lower limit, the adhesion between the substrate 2 and the metal film 4 may be increased depending on the constituent material of the oxide film 5, the substrate 2, and the metal film 4. There is a possibility that the function to be improved is not fully exhibited. In addition, when the average thickness of the oxide film 5 is less than the lower limit value, depending on the method of forming the oxide film 5, pinholes are easily generated in the oxide film 5, and the oxide film 5 is provided. The effect may not be fully demonstrated. Further, when the average thickness of the oxide film 5 exceeds the upper limit, the light transmittance in the oxide film 5 is lowered depending on the constituent material, the forming method, etc. of the oxide film 5, and the timepiece dial There is a possibility that the transmittance of light as a whole will be reduced, and the aesthetics (luxury) of the timepiece dial 1 may be reduced. Moreover, when the average thickness of the oxide film 5 exceeds the upper limit, the variation in film thickness at each portion of the oxide film 5 tends to increase. Further, when the average thickness of the oxide film 5 is particularly large, the internal stress of the oxide film 5 becomes high, and cracks and the like are likely to occur.

  The timepiece dial 1 as described above may be applied to any timepiece, but is preferably applied to a solar timepiece having a solar cell. In solar timepieces, in general, the dial (timepiece dial) is required to have excellent light transmission, and the solar cell placed on the back side is required to have a function to prevent deterioration of the aesthetic appearance of the watch as a whole. However, according to the present invention, these requirements can be satisfied simultaneously. That is, when the timepiece dial of the present invention is applied to a solar timepiece, the effect is remarkably exhibited.

<Manufacturing method of timepiece dial>

[Board preparation process]
As the substrate 2, those described above can be used.
The surface of the substrate 2 may be subjected to surface processing such as mirror surface processing, streak processing, and satin processing. Thereby, it becomes possible to give a variation in the glossiness of the surface of the timepiece dial 1 obtained.
In addition, various cleaning processes may be performed on the surface of the substrate 2 prior to a process described later. Thereby, for example, the adhesion between the substrate 2 and the oxide film 5 can be made particularly excellent.

  The method for forming the oxide film 5 is not particularly limited, and for example, wet coating such as spin coating, dipping, brush coating, spray coating, electrostatic coating, electrodeposition coating, electrolytic plating, immersion plating, electroless plating, and the like. Examples include plating methods, chemical vapor deposition methods (CVD) such as thermal CVD, plasma CVD, and laser CVD, vapor deposition methods such as vacuum deposition, sputtering, and ion plating, and thermal spraying. preferable. By applying a vapor deposition method as a method for forming the oxide film 5, the oxide film 5 having a uniform film thickness, uniform, and particularly excellent adhesion to the substrate 2 is reliably formed. can do. As a result, the aesthetic appearance and durability of the finally obtained timepiece dial 1 can be made particularly excellent. In addition, by applying a vapor deposition method as a method of forming the oxide film 5, even if the oxide film 5 to be formed is relatively thin, the variation in film thickness is made sufficiently small. Can do. When the reflective film 4 is formed by vapor deposition, the vapor deposition method is applied as the method for forming the oxide film 5, so that the substrate 2 in the manufacturing process can be taken into account in the production of the timepiece dial 1. This process and the reflective film forming process (metal film forming process) can be performed successively without taking out from the phase film forming apparatus. For this reason, the productivity of the timepiece dial 1 can be made particularly excellent. Of the vapor phase film forming methods as described above, sputtering is particularly preferable. By applying sputtering as a method for forming the oxide film 5, the above effects become more prominent. That is, by applying sputtering as a method of forming the oxide film 5, the oxide film 5 having a uniform film thickness, uniform, and particularly excellent adhesion to the substrate 2 is more reliably formed. be able to. As a result, the aesthetic appearance and durability of the finally obtained timepiece dial 1 can be further improved. Further, by applying sputtering as a method for forming the oxide film 5, even if the oxide film 5 to be formed is relatively thin, the variation in film thickness can be made particularly small. In addition, when applying the vapor phase film forming method as described above, for example, by using a metal corresponding to the metal oxide constituting the oxide film 5 as a target and performing the treatment in an atmosphere containing oxygen gas, The oxide film 5 can be formed easily and reliably. The formation of the oxide film 5 may be performed by combining a plurality of different methods and conditions. Thereby, the oxide film 5 comprised by the laminated body as mentioned above can be formed suitably.

[Reflective film forming step (metal film forming step)]
Next, a reflective film (metal film) 4 is formed on the surface of the oxide film 5 (1c, 1d).
The method for forming the reflective film 4 is not particularly limited. For example, spin coating, dipping, brush coating, spray coating, electrostatic coating, electrodeposition coating, etc., wet plating such as electrolytic plating, immersion plating, electroless plating, etc. And chemical vapor deposition (CVD) such as thermal CVD, plasma CVD, and laser CVD, vapor deposition methods such as vacuum deposition, sputtering, and ion plating, thermal spraying, etc., but vapor deposition methods are preferred. . By applying a vapor deposition method as a method for forming the reflective film 4, the reflective film (metal film) 4 has a uniform film thickness, is homogeneous, and has particularly excellent adhesion to the oxide film 5. Can be reliably formed. As a result, the aesthetic appearance and durability of the timepiece dial 1 finally obtained can be made particularly excellent. Further, by applying a vapor deposition method as a method of forming the reflective film 4, even if the reflective film 4 to be formed is relatively thin, the variation in film thickness can be made sufficiently small. . Of the vapor phase film forming methods as described above, sputtering is particularly preferable. By applying sputtering as a method for forming the reflective film 4, the above effects become more prominent. That is, by applying sputtering as a method for forming the reflective film 4, the reflective film 4 having a uniform film thickness, uniform, and particularly excellent adhesion with the oxide film 5 is more reliably formed. be able to. As a result, the aesthetic appearance, durability, and light transmittance of the finally obtained timepiece dial 1 can be further improved. Further, by applying sputtering as the method for forming the reflective film 4, even if the reflective film 4 to be formed is relatively thin, the variation in film thickness can be made particularly small. The reflective film 4 may be formed by combining a plurality of different methods and conditions. Thereby, the reflective film 4 comprised by the laminated body as mentioned above can be formed suitably.

  The reflective film 4 formed in this step has the opening 41 as described above. In this step, the reflective film that does not have the opening 41 may be formed once, and then the opening may be formed in the reflective film. However, in this embodiment, as described below, At the same time as the film 4 is formed, the opening 41 is formed. That is, in this embodiment, the oxide film 5 formed as described above is formed with a mask (vapor phase film formation mask) 8 provided with openings 81 in a predetermined pattern. By performing the film, the reflective film 4 is formed (1c, 1d).

  Thus, the reflective film 4 having the opening 41 is formed by performing film formation with the mask 8 disposed. That is, the opening 41 is formed simultaneously with the formation of the reflective film 4. By forming the reflective film 4 (opening 41) as the reflective film in this manner, the opening 41 corresponding to the pattern of the opening 81 of the mask 8 (inverted pattern) can be easily and reliably formed. Can do. In addition, since the mask 8 can be used repeatedly in the production of a large number of timepiece dials 1, the productivity of the timepiece dial 1 is improved and the quality variation among the timepiece dials 1 is also improved. Can be suppressed. That is, the reliability of the quality of the timepiece dial 1 is improved. Moreover, since it is not necessary to form an opening by a chemical method (chemical treatment) or a physical method (physical treatment), it is possible to suitably form the reflective film 4 without unintentional unevenness. Also, by preparing the mask 8 having the openings 81 of the pattern corresponding to the openings 41 to be formed (inverted pattern), the openings of various patterns can be obtained without greatly changing the formation conditions of the reflective film 4. The production of the timepiece dial 1 having 41 can be suitably handled. That is, it is possible to efficiently cope with multi-product production.

  In the vapor phase film formation as described above, for example, the metal constituting the reflection film 4 is used as a target and the treatment is performed in an inert gas atmosphere such as argon gas, so that the reflection film 4 is easily and reliably formed. Can be formed. Further, when the oxide film forming step described above is performed by a vapor deposition method, for example, the composition of the atmospheric gas in the vapor deposition apparatus (in the chamber) is replaced with an inert gas from one containing oxygen gas. Then, if necessary, by changing the target, the oxide film forming step and the metal film forming step can be continuously performed in the same apparatus (without removing the substrate 2 from the apparatus). As a result, the adhesion of the substrate 2, the oxide film 5 and the reflective film 4 is particularly excellent, and the productivity and reliability of the timepiece dial 1 are also improved.

The reflective film 4 may be formed by combining a plurality of different methods and conditions. Thereby, the reflective film 4 comprised by the laminated body as mentioned above can be formed suitably.
The mask 8 used in this step has openings 81 arranged in a pattern corresponding to the openings 41 of the reflective film 4 to be formed. That is, it can be said that the mask 8 has the opening 81 other than the portion corresponding to the opening 41 to be formed, and has the opening 81 of the pattern in which the opening 41 is reversed.

  Further, the mask 8 used in this step has a cross-sectional area of the opening 81 from the first surface 82 side which is the main surface facing the substrate 2 toward the second surface 83 side which is the opposite main surface. It has a cross-sectional area decreasing portion 812 that decreases. In other words, the opening 81 is inclined from the first surface 82 side facing the substrate 2 of the mask 8 by the inclined surface 811 inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the direction perpendicular to the main surface of the mask 8. It is provided as having a cross-sectional area reducing portion 812 whose cross-sectional area decreases toward the side. Furthermore, in other words, the mask 8 has the opening 81 on the second surface 83 side so that the area of the opening 81 on the second surface 83 side is smaller than the opening 81 on the first surface 82 side. A protruding portion 84 that protrudes toward the central direction is provided. By using such a mask 8, when the mask 8 is removed after the reflective film 4 is formed, it is possible to effectively prevent the formed reflective film 4 from being defective. As a result, the reliability of the obtained timepiece dial 1 can be improved.

In the opening 81 (cross-sectional area reducing portion 812) of the mask 8, the cross-sectional area at the minimum cross-sectional area 813 where the cross-sectional area of the opening 81 is minimum is S ₀ ′ [μm ² ], and the cross-sectional area of the opening 81 is When the cross-sectional area at the maximum cross-sectional area maximum portion 814 (the cross-sectional area of the opening 81 in the first surface 82 in the illustrated configuration) is S ₁ ′ [μm ² ], 0.01 ≦ S ₀ ′ / S ₁ ′ ≦ 0.95 is preferably satisfied, 0.05 ≦ S ₀ ′ / S ₁ ′ ≦ 0.90 is more preferable, and 0.10 ≦ S ₀ ′ / More preferably, the relationship of S ₁ ′ ≦ 0.85 is satisfied. By satisfying such a relationship, when the mask 8 is removed in a subsequent mask removing step, it is possible to more effectively prevent defects and the like from being formed in the formed reflective film 4, and an obtained timepiece can be obtained. The reliability of the dial 1 can be made particularly excellent. On the other hand, if the value of S ₀ ′ / S ₁ ′ is less than the lower limit value, the stability of the shape of the mask 8 decreases depending on the constituent material of the mask 8, and the mask 8 is formed when the reflective film 4 is formed. May be deformed. When such deformation occurs, it may be difficult to form the reflective film 4 having the opening 41 having a desired shape. In addition, the durability of the mask 8 may be reduced, and the tendency for the productivity of the timepiece dial 1 to be reduced may become significant. On the other hand, when the value of S ₀ ′ / S ₁ ′ exceeds the upper limit, depending on the constituent material of the mask 8, the constituent material of the reflective film 4, etc., the effect of the mask 8 having the cross-sectional area reducing portion 812 is sufficient. It is difficult to make the aesthetic appearance of the timepiece dial 1 sufficiently excellent.

The thickness of the mask 8 is not particularly limited, but it is usually preferable that the thickness be equal to or greater than the thickness of the reflective film 4 to be formed. Thereby, the reflective film 4 having the opening 41 having a target shape can be more reliably formed.
When the thickness of the reflective film 4 to be formed is T _R [μm] and the thickness of the mask 8 is T _M [μm], it is preferable to satisfy the relationship of 29 ≦ T _M −T _R ≦ 199, 49 It is more preferable to satisfy the relationship of ≦ T _M −T _R ≦ 149. Thereby, the effect mentioned above becomes more remarkable.

Although the specific thickness of the mask 8 depends on the thickness of the reflective film 4 to be formed, etc., it is preferably 30 to 200 μm, more preferably 50 to 150 μm.
Such a mask 8 is prepared, for example, by a member on a plate and subjected to chemical processing such as etching, irradiation of energy rays such as laser light, and mechanical processing (physical processing) such as lathe processing. ) Or the like to form the opening 81.

  The mask 8 may be made of any material, and examples of the constituent material of the mask 8 include various metal materials, various ceramic materials, various plastic materials, and the like. Among these, a metal material is preferable as the constituent material of the mask 8. When the mask 8 is made of a metal material, the durability of the mask 8 can be made particularly excellent. As a result, the productivity of the timepiece dial 1 can be made particularly excellent, and variations in quality among a large number of timepiece dials 1 can be suppressed, and the reliability of the timepiece dial 1 can be reduced. Will improve. In addition, metal materials generally have moderate elasticity, and many have high shape followability, and the substrate 2 (watch dial 1 to be manufactured) is not limited to a flat plate, but a curved plate. Even if it is in a shape, it can be suitably applied. In addition, one type of mask 8 can be used in common for differently shaped substrates 2 (for example, flat substrate 2 and curved plate substrate 2).

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the mask 8 is made of a material including a magnetic material (a material having paramagnetism and ferromagnetism). A magnet (not shown) is disposed on the surface of the substrate 2 opposite to the surface facing the mask 8, whereby the mask 8 and the work to be formed with the reflective film 4 as the reflective film are provided. The substrate 2 (the substrate 2 covered with the oxide film 5) can be reliably adhered. As a result, it is possible to more reliably prevent the reflective film 4 from being formed on a portion other than the target on the substrate 2, and to improve the aesthetic appearance and electromagnetic wave permeability of the finally obtained timepiece dial 1. It can be surely excellent. That is, the reliability of the manufactured timepiece dial 1 can be made particularly excellent.

The magnet may be, for example, a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the mask 8 is made of a material containing a magnetic material, but the mask 8 may be made of substantially only a magnetic material, for example. However, it may contain other components.
The mask 8 may have a surface layer (not shown). Thereby, for example, the durability of the mask 8 can be made particularly excellent, or the constituent material of the reflective film 4 can be effectively prevented from firmly adhering onto the mask 8 during film formation. it can. Examples of the material constituting such a surface layer include fluorine resins such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silicone resins, diamond-like carbon (DLC), and the like.

  When this step is performed by vapor phase film formation, for example, the vapor phase film formation is inclined by a predetermined angle θ with respect to the normal direction of the main surface of the substrate 2 (main surface to be covered with the reflective film 4). From this direction, vapor deposition particles (for example, sputtered particles in the case of sputtering) made of the constituent material of the reflective film 4 may be incident on the substrate 2. Thereby, it is possible to effectively prevent unintentional film thickness variation from occurring in the formed reflective film 4. Further, vapor-phase film-forming particles composed of the constituent material of the reflective film 4 from a direction inclined by a predetermined angle θ with respect to the normal direction of the main surface of the substrate 2 (main surface to be coated with the reflective film 4). By making the light incident on the substrate 2, the vapor-phase film-forming particles can be reliably supplied to the region on the back side of the protruding portion 84 in the opening 81, and the shape corresponding to the opening 81 of the mask 8. The reflective film 4 can be more reliably formed.

  In such a case, the angle θ formed by the incident direction of the vapor-phase film-forming particles and the normal direction of the main surface of the substrate 2 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 50 °, and preferably 3 to 40 °. More preferably, it is 5 to 30 °. When the angle θ is a value within the above range, it is possible to more effectively prevent unintentional film thickness variation from occurring in the formed reflective film 4.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the vapor-phase film-forming particles are incident not only from one direction but also from a plurality of directions on the substrate 2. Thereby, the suitable reflective film 4 with which the dispersion | variation in unintentional film thickness was suppressed can be formed easily and reliably, and the aesthetic appearance and light transmittance about the timepiece dial 1 obtained are especially excellent. Can be. Further, it is possible to obtain the timepiece dial 1 as a material in which variations in texture when viewed from various directions are more effectively suppressed.

  As a method for injecting vapor-phase film-forming particles from a plurality of directions, for example, a plurality of vapor-phase film-formation sources (targets, vapor deposition sources, etc.), which are materials for vapor-phase film-formation, are prepared, There may be a method of installing and generating vapor deposition particles simultaneously or sequentially from the plurality of vapor deposition sources. For example, the substrate 2 and the vapor deposition source are relatively moved (displaced). On the other hand, there is a method of generating vapor-phase film-forming particles from a vapor-phase film-formation source. As a method of moving (displace) the substrate 2 and the vapor deposition source relatively, for example, a method of moving (displacement) the vapor deposition source while the substrate 2 is fixed, Examples thereof include a method of moving (displacement) the substrate 2 in a fixed state, and a method of moving (displacement) both the vapor deposition source and the substrate 2. In particular, when the substrate 2 is moved (displaced), an effect that it is easy to use a conventional vapor deposition apparatus that fixes a vapor deposition source as it is can be obtained.

Hereinafter, a method of moving (displacement) the substrate 2 will be described more specifically with reference to FIG.
In the configuration shown in FIG. 5, the substrate 2 is rotated on the shaft 9 so that the angle between the normal of the main surface of the substrate 2 and the longitudinal direction of the shaft 9 maintains a predetermined angle θ. It has a configuration to let you. In other words, in the configuration shown in FIG. 5, the normal line of the main surface of the substrate 2 where the extension line of the shaft 9 is in contact with the surface (incident surface) of the substrate 2 is a conical circumferential surface about the shaft 9. The substrate 2 rotates to form. With this configuration, for example, the incidence of the vapor-phase film-forming particles is maintained while maintaining the state where the normal line of the main surface of the substrate 2 is inclined by the angle θ with respect to the incident direction of the vapor-phase film-formation particles. The direction can be changed over time. Thereby, the reflective film 4 having the opening 41 of a suitable shape can be easily and reliably formed, and the aesthetic appearance and electromagnetic wave permeability of the obtained timepiece dial 1 are particularly excellent. be able to. Further, it is possible to obtain the timepiece dial 1 as a material in which variations in texture when viewed from various directions are more effectively suppressed.

The value of the angle θ may change over time. Thus, when the value of the angle θ changes with time, it is preferable that the maximum value is included in the above-described range. Further, for example, there may be a time point when the angle θ becomes zero during vapor phase film formation.
As the angle θ, an angle formed by a straight line connecting the vapor deposition source and the base material on which the metal film is to be formed and the normal line of the base material can be employed.

After forming the reflective film 4, the mask 8 is removed (1d). As a result, on the surface of the substrate 2 on the side coated with the oxide film 5 and the reflective film 4, the part corresponding to the opening 81 of the mask 8 is exposed, and the other parts are reflected. It will be in the state coat | covered with the film | membrane 4 (real part).
The mask 8 can be removed by peeling the mask 8 from the substrate 2 on which the oxide film 5 and the reflective film 4 are provided. As described above, since the mask 8 has a reduced cross-sectional area, when the mask is removed in this step, inconvenience such as unintentional peeling occurs in the reflective film 4 formed in the previous step. Can be more reliably formed.

[Lacquer film forming process]
Next, the lacquer film 3 is formed on the surface of the reflective film 4 (1e). Thereby, the timepiece dial 1 is obtained.
The lacquer film 3 is formed by, for example, a droplet discharge method, a spin coat method, or the like, in which a liquid mainly composed of lacquer, which is a constituent component of the lacquer film 3, is discharged as a droplet from the head portion by vibration of a piezoelectric element. Apply (discharge) to the surface of the reflective film 4 using a dipping method, brush coating method, spray coating method, electrostatic coating method, electrodeposition coating method, etc., and dry naturally or add heat to solidify Can be performed. By using such a method, even a relatively thin lacquer film 3 can be suitably formed. In particular, when solidifying a liquid mainly composed of lacquer, by applying heat to the substrate 2, the oxidative polymerization reaction by the enzyme contained in the lacquer as described above occurs actively, and the time required for solidification is increased. It can be shortened. The temperature of the substrate 2 thus heated is preferably 80 to 200 ° C, and more preferably 100 to 180 ° C. Thereby, the oxidative polymerization reaction of lacquer proceeds more actively, and the time required for solidification can be further shortened.

  Further, among the above methods, the lacquer film 3 in which the variation in film thickness is sufficiently suppressed can be stably formed by using the droplet discharge method. This can be explained as follows. That is, when lacquer comes into contact with air, oxygen in the air is taken in and main components such as urushiol are oxidatively polymerized and solidified. In the droplet discharge method, by discharging lacquer as minute droplets, the discharged droplets can come into contact with a large amount of air and efficiently initiate a polymerization reaction. For this reason, the time until solidification is further shortened, and the lacquer film 3 having a desired film thickness can be formed without the lacquer diffusing on the surface of the reflective film 4.

Moreover, it is preferable that the temperature of the atmosphere at the time of application | coating (discharge) is 10-45 degreeC, and it is more preferable that it is 15-40 degreeC. Thereby, the enzyme contained in lacquer can be activated more and the oxidative polymerization reaction of the lacquer apply | coated (discharged) on the surface of the reflecting film 4 can be started reliably. For this reason, the above-mentioned effect becomes more remarkable.
Moreover, it is preferable that the humidity of the atmosphere at the time of application | coating (discharge) is 55 to 95%, and it is more preferable that it is 60 to 90%. Thereby, the enzyme contained in lacquer can be activated more and the oxidative polymerization reaction of the lacquer apply | coated (discharged) on the surface of the reflecting film 4 can be started reliably. For this reason, the above-mentioned effect becomes more remarkable.

Moreover, the liquid which has as a main component the lacquer applied (discharged) to the reflective film 4 may contain liquid media, such as a coloring agent, a solvent, and a dispersion medium, as needed.
It does not specifically limit as a coloring agent, For example, what is used as a constituent material of the lacquer film 3 as mentioned above can be used.
The liquid medium is not particularly limited, and a known solvent or dispersion medium can be used. For example, inorganic compounds such as water, camphor (camphor oil), α-pinene, β-pinene and the like can be used. Terpene compounds, ketone compounds such as acetone, alcohol compounds such as ethanol and methanol, ether compounds, cellosolve compounds, aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds, aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, aromatic heterocyclic compounds, amides Examples thereof include organic compounds such as compounds, halogen compounds, ester compounds, amine compounds, nitrile compounds, nitro compounds, aldehyde compounds, etc., and use a mixture of one or more selected from these compounds be able to. When the liquid mainly composed of lacquer contains a liquid medium, application (discharge) to the reflective film 4 can be performed smoothly, and the film thickness of the formed lacquer film 3 is made more uniform. be able to. In particular, when a terpene-based compound is used as a liquid medium, the lacquer film 3 has particularly excellent gloss in the obtained timepiece dial 1 and the texture and color tone of the lacquer of the timepiece dial 1 are particularly excellent. It will be a thing.
The lacquer film 3 may be formed by bonding a lacquer material previously formed into a film shape to the surface of the reflective film 4. The joining of the lacquer material and the reflective film 4 can be performed, for example, by bringing the lacquer material into close contact with the reflective film 4 in a state where the lacquer material and / or the reflective film 4 is heated. Moreover, you may perform joining of the lacquer material and the reflecting film 4 through the layer comprised by the adhesive and the adhesive agent.

<< Second Embodiment >>
Next, a timepiece dial according to a second embodiment of the present invention and a manufacturing method thereof will be described. Hereinafter, the difference from the above-described embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the same matters will be omitted.
<Watch dial>
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a second embodiment of the timepiece dial of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 6, the timepiece dial 1 of the present embodiment is provided on the surface opposite to the substrate (base material) 2, the lacquer film 3, and the surface of the substrate 2 facing the lacquer film 3. A reflective film (metal film) 4 and an oxide film 5 provided in contact with the substrate 2 and the reflective film 4. That is, it is the same as that of embodiment mentioned above except the arrangement | positioning of the board | substrate (base material) 2, the lacquer film 3, the reflective film (metal film) 4, and the oxide film 5 differing.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the timepiece dial 1 of the present embodiment, the lacquer film 3 is not in contact with the reflective film 4, and the substrate 2 and the oxidation are between the lacquer film 3 and the reflective film 4. It has the structure by which the material film 5 was inserted. By having such a configuration, the light reflected by the surface of the reflective film 4 (the surface facing the lacquer film 3) does not directly enter the lacquer film 3 and enters the lacquer film 3 via the substrate 2 or the like. It will be incident. Thereby, an observer can be made to recognize that the lacquer film 3 is thicker than the actual thickness, and the appearance of the timepiece dial 1 can be made more profound. Moreover, even if the thickness of the lacquer film 3 is relatively thin, the lacquer texture can be sufficiently exhibited. That is, with the configuration as in the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain a timepiece dial 1 having a particularly excellent appearance while suppressing the amount of lacquer used. Moreover, by having the structure in which the substrate 2 and the oxide film 5 are interposed between the lacquer film 3 and the reflection film 4, the presence of the opening 41 can be made less noticeable, and the watch This is advantageous in improving the aesthetic appearance of the dial 1 for use. Further, even when the size of the opening 41 is relatively large or the aperture ratio is relatively large, the presence of the opening 41 can be made sufficiently inconspicuous, so that the timepiece dial 1 The light transmission property of the timepiece dial 1 as a whole can be made particularly excellent while the aesthetic appearance of the watch is sufficiently excellent.
In the present embodiment, the lacquer film 3 is in contact with the substrate 2. In general, lacquer is more excellent in affinity with the plastic material constituting the substrate 2 than in affinity with a metal material. Therefore, in the configuration as shown in FIG. 6, the adhesion of the lacquer film 3 is excellent, and the durability and reliability of the timepiece dial 1 as a whole are improved.

That is, it is the same as that of embodiment mentioned above except the site | parts which form the lacquer film 3 differ.

In the above description, a wristwatch (portable clock) is described as an example of a clock, but the present invention is similarly applied to other types of clocks such as a portable clock, a table clock, and a wall clock other than the wristwatch. be able to.
In the above description, a solar timepiece (particularly, a solar radio timepiece) has been described as an example of a timepiece. However, the present invention is not limited to a solar timepiece (for example, a radio timepiece other than a solar radio timepiece). Can be applied similarly.

As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to these.
For example, the timepiece dial of the present invention is not limited to the one manufactured by the method described above, and may be manufactured by any method.
In the above-described embodiment, the reflective film has been described as having an opening, but the reflective film may not have an opening.

In the above-described embodiment, the description has been made on the assumption that the oxide film is provided between the substrate and the reflective film. However, the timepiece dial of the present invention does not necessarily have the oxide film. .
Further, the timepiece dial of the present invention may have another configuration in addition to the above-described configuration. For example, a coat layer may be provided on the surface of the lacquer film. As a result, for example, the color tone and the like can be adjusted to further improve the aesthetic appearance of the timepiece dial, or as a whole timepiece dial, the corrosion resistance, weather resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, scratch resistance, Various characteristics such as wear and discoloration resistance can be improved. Such a coat layer may be removed, for example, when a timepiece dial is used. Further, for example, at least one intermediate layer is provided between the substrate and the oxide film, between the oxide film and the metal film, between the metal film and the lacquer film, between the substrate and the lacquer film, and the like. May be provided.

Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, although the lacquer was demonstrated as what is extract | collected from a tree and refine | purified, it is not limited to such a thing. For example, the lacquer may be produced by synthesis. As such a thing, artificial lacquer (cashew paint) etc. which processed cashew oil contained in the shell of cashew nut etc. are mentioned, for example.
Moreover, although the timepiece dial shown in FIG. 1 has a configuration in which a part of the lacquer film enters the opening provided in the reflective film, it does not need to enter.

  Moreover, the lacquer film may be provided with an opening. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the opening 33 is formed so as to correspond to the substrate 2, the oxide film 5, the reflective film 4 provided with the opening 41, and the opening 41 provided in the reflective film 4. The dial 1 for timepieces provided with the lacquer film 3 to have may be used. In such a timepiece dial 1 and a timepiece having a solar cell below the timepiece dial, the lacquer film 3 constituting the timepiece dial 1 has a relatively thick film or a dark color. Even when is used, the light incident from the outer surface side of the timepiece dial 1 can be suitably emitted to the substrate 2 side through each opening 33 provided in the lacquer film 3. In addition, a part of the light emitted to the substrate 2 side in this way may be reflected to the lacquer film 3 side on the surface of the substrate 2 where the reflective film 4 is not provided. The light is again reflected toward the solar cell by the reflective film 4 provided between the lacquer film 3 and the substrate 2. That is, in the timepiece dial 1 having such a configuration, the excellent texture and color tone of the lacquer can be further emphasized. Moreover, the light which entered into the opening part 33 provided in the lacquer film 3 from the outer surface side can be emitted to the solar cell with excellent efficiency.

Further, in the timepiece dial 1 as shown in FIG. 9, a part of the oxide film 5 is exposed to the outside, and the oxide film 5 passes through the openings provided in the lacquer film 3 and the reflective film 4, respectively. Part of the light incident on the light is reflected toward the outer surface. Thereby, the texture and color tone peculiar to lacquer can be expressed more clearly.
Moreover, the opening part provided in the lacquer film in this way may be the same width as the opening part provided in the reflection film, or may be a small width. In particular, when the width of the opening provided in the lacquer film is smaller than the width of the opening of the reflective film, the texture and color tone of the lacquer film are impaired when the timepiece dial is observed from the outer surface side. Can be reliably prevented.

Next, specific examples of the present invention will be described.
1. Manufacture of timepiece dial (Example 1)
A timepiece dial was manufactured by the following method.
First, a substrate (base material) having the shape of a timepiece dial was prepared by compression molding using polycarbonate, and then necessary portions were cut and polished. The obtained substrate was substantially disc-shaped and had a diameter: 27 mm × thickness: 0.5 mm.

Next, this substrate was cleaned. As the cleaning of the substrate, first, alkaline immersion degreasing was performed for 30 seconds, then neutralization was performed for 10 seconds, washing with water for 10 seconds, and cleaning with pure water for 10 seconds.
An oxide film composed of TiO ₂ was formed on the surface of the substrate thus cleaned by sputtering as described below (oxide film forming step).
First, the cleaned substrate was mounted in a sputtering apparatus, and then the inside of the sputtering apparatus was exhausted (reduced pressure) to 3 × 10 ⁻³ Pa while preheating the inside of the apparatus. Next, while introducing argon gas at an argon flow rate: 40 ml / min, oxygen was introduced at an oxygen flow rate: 10 ml / min. In this state, Ti was used as a target, and discharge was performed under the conditions of input power: 1400 W and treatment time: 2.5 minutes, thereby forming an oxide film composed of TiO ₂ . The average thickness of the oxide film thus formed was 0.05 μm.

Subsequently, a reflective film (metal film) composed of Ag was formed on the surface of the oxide film by sputtering as follows (reflective film forming process (metal film forming process)).
First, in a state where a mesh (square lattice) mask (see FIG. 2) in which square openings are regularly arranged is arranged on the surface of the oxide film, this mask is provided on the substrate on which the oxide film is provided. It was made to adsorb | suck to the magnet installed in the sputtering device via. As a result, the substrate and the mask are brought into close contact with each other, and the relative movement between the substrate and the mask is regulated. The mask was made of stainless steel (SUS444), and its thickness was 120 μm. Moreover, this mask had a cross-sectional area reduction part as shown in FIG. Further, the cross-sectional area at the minimum cross-sectional area where the cross-sectional area of the opening of the mask is minimum is S ₀ ′ [μm ² ], and the cross-sectional area at the maximum cross-sectional area where the cross-sectional area of the opening is maximum is S _1. When “[μm ² ]” was set, the value of S ₀ ′ / S ₁ ′ was 0.70.

Next, the inside of the apparatus was evacuated (depressurized) to 3 × 10 ⁻³ Pa, and then argon gas was introduced at an argon gas flow rate of 35 ml / min. In this state, Ag was used as a target, and discharge was performed under the conditions of input power: 1400 W and processing time: 2.0 minutes, thereby forming a reflective film composed of Ag. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the substrate is rotated on the shaft in such a manner that the angle formed between the normal line of the main surface of the substrate and the longitudinal direction of the shaft maintains 15 °. Vapor-phase deposited particles (sputtered particles) composed of the constituent material of the reflective film from a direction inclined by 15 ° (angle θ) with respect to the normal direction of the main surface of the substrate (main surface to be coated with the reflective film) ) On the substrate. The average thickness of the reflective film thus formed was 0.20 μm. Further, the formed reflective film had an opening at a portion covered with a mask.

Next, the substrate provided with the oxide film and the reflective film having the opening was taken out from the sputtering apparatus, and the mask was removed.
Next, the substrate coated with the oxide film and the reflective film obtained as described above was washed. As washing, first, alkali immersion degreasing was performed for 30 seconds, then neutralization was performed for 10 seconds, water washing for 10 seconds, and pure water washing for 10 seconds.

Then, the lacquer film was formed on the reflective film which has an opening as follows (lacquer film formation process).
First, crude lacquer (Arami lacquer) was purified to obtain purified lacquer. As the rough lacquer (Arami lacquer), one containing 66 wt% urushiol was used. First, impurities were removed by filtering the crude lacquer. The crude lacquer was slowly stirred in a container, and then iron hydroxide was added until the crude lacquer colored black while maintaining stirring. Thereafter, the crude lacquer was slowly heated and kept at 40 ° C. to continue stirring. When the content of crude lacquer urushiol reached 86 wt%, heating and stirring were stopped, and filtration was performed again to obtain a purified lacquer.

Thereafter, the lacquer purified in this manner is uniformly ejected over the entire surface of the reflective film using an ink jet type liquid droplet ejection device that ejects liquid droplets from the head portion by vibration of the piezoelectric element. Formed. The average volume of one discharged lacquer droplet was 10 pL.
The atmosphere during discharge was 80% humidity and 25 ° C., and the substrate was heated to 150 ° C.
The discharge operation as described above was repeated in the same manner to obtain a lacquer film. The average thickness of the formed lacquer film was 15 μm.
In addition, the thickness of the board | substrate, the oxide film, the metal film (reflection film), and the lacquer film was measured according to the microscope cross-section test method prescribed | regulated by JISH5821.

(Comparative Example 1)
First, the lacquer refine | purified in Example 1 was apply | coated to the glass plate, and the glass plate was heated at 150 degreeC after that, and the lacquer was solidified. Thereafter, the completely solidified lacquer film was punched out to obtain a watch dial made of lacquer having a thickness of 0.5 mm and having a substantially disk shape with a diameter of 27 mm.
