Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive to reduce cost, and to increase intensity of the titled apparatus by a method wherein a frame member constructing the apparatus in the neighborhood of a solar cell housing part is formed of transparent resin, and the transmitting part of incident light to the solar cell is made as a condenser lens. CONSTITUTION:The frame member 14 constructing the electronic apparatus 1 is formed of transparent resin, and the condenser lens C is formed in one body to the part of the member 14 corresponding to the transmitting part of incident light to the solar cell 2. According to the construction in this manner, because incident light is condensed by the lens 14C to enter into the cell 2, the apparatus 1 can be driven sufficiently even when incident light is little. At this case, a condenser lens and a light receiving window as the different members become unnecessary, cost can be reduced, and because the member 14 constructing the lens 14C exists on the upper part of the cell 2, intensity is increased.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to electronic devices such as electronic desktop calculators that use solar cells. There are electronic devices such as formula desk calculators.
is an electronic device; 2 is a solar cell that serves as a power source for this electronic device 1; it is placed in the upper part (-) so that sunlight can be concentrated; The electronic device 1 (2) has a built-in electronic circuit (not shown) for data processing. In the device 1, the solar cell 2 converts incident light into electrical energy to drive the electronic device 1. Therefore, when the amount of incident light decreases, the electric power to drive the electronic device 1 cannot be secured, and the electronic device 1 To prevent this, some devices install a square light lens on the top of the solar cell 2 to increase the amount of light that enters the solar cell 2 to drive electronic devices. A conventional example in which a lens for square light is installed on the upper part of such a solar cell 2 will be explained with reference to FIG.
is the decorative panel of electronic device 1, 6 is the light receiving window plate of solar cell 2, and 7 is
is a front window plate of the display device 3, 8 is a frame member constituting the main body of the electronic device 1, and 9 is a podium 2 provided to cover the solar cell 2 that collects light incident on the solar cell 2. A condensing lens, 10- is a substrate on which the solar cell 2 is attached, 11 is an electrical connection between the display 3 and the printed board 12 on which an electronic circuit is formed which operates using the solar cell attached to the substrate 10+2 as a power source; A connector 13 for connection is the back cover of the electronic device 1.

In such a configuration, incident light passes through the light-receiving window plate 6 held by the frame member 8ζ, is condensed by the condenser lens 9, and enters the solar cell 2. This incident light is converted into electrical energy by the solar cell 2 and drives the electronic device 1 . In this way, in the conventional example shown in Figure 2 (double addition), even when there is little incident light, it is possible to charge the solar cell 2 by increasing the incidence efficiency with the condensing lens 9. (Secondly, the condensing lens 9 and the light-receiving window plate 6 are required, which increases the cost of the electronic device 1. Also, the upper part of the solar cell 2) 8 cannot be installed, electronic equipment 1
This results in a decrease in strength.
