A solar cell is a photoelectric semiconductor sheet that directly generates electricity using sunlight. The solar cell can output voltage instantly and generate current under the condition of a loop as long as the solar cell is illuminated under a certain illumination condition. Physically referred to as solar Photovoltaic (abbreviated PV), Photovoltaic for short. The power generation principle of the solar cell is as follows: sunlight irradiates on a semiconductor P-N junction of a solar cell to form a new hole-electron pair, under the action of an electric field built in the P-N junction (at the interface of a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor), photo-generated holes flow to a P region (namely, a hole region and can absorb electrons), photo-generated electrons flow to an N region (namely, an electron region and can release electrons), and current is generated after a circuit is switched on. This is the working principle of photovoltaic solar cells, also called photovoltaic effect. Therefore, the solar cell function can be realized as long as the material has the photovoltaic effect. Among them, there are two kinds of carriers, that is, holes in the valence band and electrons in the conduction band, and a semiconductor mainly based on electron conduction is called an N-type semiconductor, and a semiconductor mainly based on hole conduction is called a P-type semiconductor.

The flexible solar cell is one of thin-film solar cells, and has the advantages of advanced technology, excellent performance, low cost and wide application. The solar energy backpack can be applied to solar backpacks, solar open canopies, solar flashlights, solar automobiles, solar sailing boats and even solar airplanes. The flexible solar cell includes a crystalline silicon solar cell, a compound semiconductor solar cell, an organic solar cell, a dye-sensitized solar cell, and the like.

The silicon solar cell is a monocrystalline silicon solar cell, a polycrystalline silicon solar cell, an amorphous silicon solar cell or a nanocrystalline silicon thin-film solar cell. Among them, the thickness of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) flexible battery is 1/300 of a crystalline silicon battery. The conversion efficiency of the amorphous silicon flexible battery reaches 8% -8.5%.

A selenium photovoltaic cell is a semiconductor device that directly converts light energy into electrical energy. The CIGS thin-film solar Cell (CIGS) has few internal defects, stable performance and a service life of 25 years. In the using process of the copper indium gallium selenide thin-film solar cell, the defects generated in the application process can be repaired by the movement of copper ions, so that the performance of the copper indium gallium selenide thin-film solar cell is continuously improved, which is just opposite to the light-induced degradation effect or S-W effect (Staebler-Wronski effect) of amorphous silicon.

The compound semiconductor solar cell is a solar cell produced using a compound semiconductor as a base. The compound semiconductor solar cell is mainly a cadmium sulfide solar cell, a selenium indium copper solar cell, a cadmium telluride solar cell, a gallium arsenide solar cell, an indium phosphide solar cell or the like.

In the cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cell, the cadmium telluride is a II-IV group compound, is a direct band gap semiconductor, has strong light absorption, has a forbidden band width well matched with the ground solar spectrum, is very suitable for photoelectric energy conversion, can absorb more than 95 percent of sunlight, and is a good solar cell material. The cadmium telluride thin film photovoltaic cell has low production cost, stable performance and higher conversion efficiency than a silicon-based thin film cell, and the large-scale mass production of the cadmium telluride thin film photovoltaic cell has high cost performance.

An Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) solar cell, i.e., a solar cell with a core portion made of organic material, mainly uses an organic substance with photosensitive property as a semiconductor material, and generates voltage to form current by using a photovoltaic effect, thereby realizing the effect of solar power generation. The organic semiconductor absorption medium of an organic solar cell is usually formed by mixing a donor material and an acceptor material. Donor materials are good at donating electrons, absorbing holes, and being electropositive when mixed, conjugated polymers (conjugated polymers) are typical donor materials. The acceptor material is good at absorbing electrons and giving out holes, and has electronegativity after mixing. Fullerene (C60) is a typical acceptor material. Organic solar cells have the advantages of low cost, light weight, inherent flexibility of the active layer, and the like. The flexible active layer is the most outstanding characteristic of the organic solar cell, and the organic solar cell is more suitable for manufacturing flexible devices than a silicon-based solar cell and an inorganic semiconductor thin-film solar cell.

The dye-sensitized solar cell is a novel solar cell which is developed by simulating the photosynthesis principle. The dye-sensitized solar cell is formed by titanium dioxide (TiO)₂) The surface is coated with a layer of chlorophyll dye to simulate the photosynthesis of plants in nature by utilizing solar energy, and the solar energy is converted into electric energy.

The thickness of the solar cell module 120 is not limited to the above-described range, and may be set as needed.

In one embodiment, the transmittance of the decoration unit 130 is more than 30%. With such an arrangement, the decoration unit 130 can well shield the solar cell module 120, so that the solar cell module 120 is not easily observed from the direction from the first surface 112 to the second surface 114 of the transparent cover plate 110, and light can be incident into the solar cell module 120 through the decoration unit 130, thereby ensuring the power generation effect of the solar cell module 120.

In one embodiment, the decoration unit 130 includes a texture layer 132 and a color layer 134.

The plate-like body 132a is for carrying the convex strips 132 b. Further, the material of the plate-shaped body 132a is UV glue or UV resin. Still further, the housing mechanism 100 further includes a first adhesive layer 140. The first adhesive layer 140 is located between the decoration unit 130 and the solar cell module 120. The first adhesive layer 140 is used for adhering the decoration unit 130 and the solar cell module 120. Further, the first adhesive layer 140 is located between the plate-shaped body 132a and the base 121. The first adhesive layer 140 adheres the plate-like body 132a and the base 121.

Further, in the housing mechanism 100 of the electronic device 10, the solar cell module 120 includes the substrate 121, the first electrode 123, the photoelectric functional layer 125 and the second electrode 127, the substrate 121 is disposed on a side of the decoration unit 130 away from the transparent cover plate 110, the first electrode 123, the functional layer and the second electrode 127 are sequentially stacked on a side of the substrate 121 away from the decoration unit 130, the decoration unit 130 includes the texture layer 132 and the color layer 134, the texture layer 132 is disposed on a side of the solar cell module 120 close to the transparent cover plate 110, and the color layer 134 is disposed on a side of the texture layer 132 close to the transparent cover plate 110, so that the overall effect of the electronic device 10 can be ensured, the standby time of the electronic device 10 can be prolonged, the housing mechanism 100 can present appearance effects of textures and colors, and has a better appearance expression; moreover, the decoration unit 130 can use the substrate 121 as a carrier, so that the decoration unit 130 and the solar cell module 120 share the substrate 121, thereby avoiding the increase of the thickness of the housing mechanism 100 due to the extra carrier of the decoration unit 130, and obtaining the housing mechanism 100 with a thinner thickness.

Research finds that the standby time of the electronic equipment is prolonged by arranging the solar panel outside the electronic equipment. However, this arrangement exposes the solar cell panel to wear, which is not conducive to long-term use. In the electronic device 10, the decoration unit 130 is disposed between the second surface 114 and the solar cell module 120, and the display mechanism 100a is disposed opposite to the solar cell module 120, so that the solar cell module 120 can be protected to prevent the solar cell module 120 from being worn, and the service life of the housing mechanism 100 and the electronic device 10 can be prolonged.

However, since the polycrystalline silicon solar cell is opaque or has very low transmittance, the appearance effect of the decorative film is difficult to be revealed, so that the effect of texture or color cannot be exhibited. In the electronic device 10, the casing mechanism 100 is disposed between the transparent cover plate 110 and the solar cell module 120, the decoration unit 130 is transparent, so that light can pass through the decoration unit 130 and irradiate towards the solar cell module 120 to generate electric energy, and the decoration effect of the decoration unit 130 can be presented, thereby improving the appearance performance of the casing mechanism 100 and the electronic device 10.
