1 to 3 are schematic views of a photovoltaic module in different states according to an embodiment of the invention. It should be noted here that FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 respectively show the state of electrical conduction between components and the direction of power transmission by thick solid lines and arrows. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in the embodiment, the photoelectric module 100 includes a light emitting device 110 , a photoelectric conversion device 120 , and a control device 130 .

The light emitting device 110 is, for example, an organic light emitting diode having a first electrode 112. The photoelectric conversion device 120 is, for example, a solar cell, which can be disposed on the light-emitting device 110 by means of a sealant, but the bonding relationship between the light-emitting device 110 and the photoelectric conversion device 120 is not limited herein. The photoelectric conversion device 120 has a second electrode 122 and a photovoltaic element 124. Here, the first electrode 112 and the second electrode 122 are translucent, and the photovoltaic element 124 is, for example, a photoelectric conversion layer of a solar cell, and the photovoltaic element 124 can be regarded as a light valve or a filtering device, which can be used for a specific wavelength. Light penetrates, and light outside a specific wavelength does not penetrate. In this embodiment, the optoelectronic component 124 will absorb light outside of a particular wavelength. For example, light of a specific wavelength may be L1, so that light of various wavelengths may pass through the photovoltaic element 124 after passing through the photovoltaic element 124. In other words, the photo-element 124 in the present embodiment is used to pass the light L1 having a penetrating wavelength and absorb the light L2 having an absorption wavelength to be converted into electric energy, wherein the wavelength range of the light L2 having the absorption wavelength is smaller than the wavelength of the penetration. The range of light rays L1.

In this embodiment, the control device 130 is electrically connected to the light-emitting device 110 and the photoelectric conversion device 120, and the control device 130 activates or turns off the light-emitting device 110 according to the state of the photoelectric conversion device 120. In another embodiment, the external light energy can be detected by a light sensor (not shown), and the light sensor provides a signal to the control device 130 to control the activation or deactivation by sensing the ambient light energy. The illumination device 110 or the control device 130 is a light sensor that directly detects ambient light. However, it is not limited to the above method, and the light-emitting device can be turned on or off by manual control.

Further, the light-emitting device 110 further has a first substrate 116 and an organic light-emitting layer 114, the first electrode 112 includes a pair of first electrode layers 112a, 112b, and the first electrode layers 112a, 112b are disposed at the first The substrate 116 is disposed between the pair of first electrode layers 112a and 112b. In the present embodiment, the organic light-emitting layer 114 is used to generate light L3 having an emission wavelength, which is, for example, red light having a wavelength range of 580 nm to 800 nm, and the pair of first electrode layers 112a, 112b are, for example, It is a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (Indium Zinc Oxide, IZO), or silver (Ag), gold (Au), aluminum. a metal thin film having a thickness of less than 30 nanometers (nm) such as (Al), magnesium (Mg), or calcium (Ca). In the present embodiment, when the thin metal film is light transmissive, it can be used. The characteristics of different metal films are chosen to ensure proper light transmission.

Furthermore, the photoelectric conversion device 120 further has a second substrate 126, and the second electrode 122 includes a pair of second electrode layers 122a, 122b, and the second electrode layers 122a, 122b are disposed on the second substrate 126. For the second electrode layers 122a, 122b, the photovoltaic element 124 is disposed between the pair of second electrode layers 122a, 122b. Here, the second electrode layers 122a and 122b may be made of the same material as the first electrode layers 112a and 112b. Based on the above, light that penetrates the second electrode layers 122a, 122b and the photovoltaic element 124 can also penetrate the first electrode layers 112a, 112b. Therefore, when light having various wavelengths passes through the photovoltaic element 124, the light having the wavelength of penetration L1 can penetrate the photovoltaic element 124 and the respective electrode layers, so that the photovoltaic module 100 can generate the light L1 having the wavelength of penetration, and When the organic light-emitting layer 114 of the light-emitting device 110 generates the light L3 having the light-emitting wavelength, the light-emitting wavelength L3 of the light-emitting wavelength can also penetrate the electrode layers, so that the photovoltaic module 100 can generate the light L3 having the light-emitting wavelength. For example, when the wavelength of the light passing through the wavelength L1 is 600 nm to 1100 nm, and the wavelength of the light passing through the wavelength L3 is 580 nm to 800 nm, the light emitted from the photovoltaic module 100 It is red light in the wavelength range of 580 nm to 1100 nm.

In addition, FIGS. 4A to 4C are flowcharts of a method of emitting light according to the photovoltaic module of FIGS. 1 to 3. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C respectively, in the embodiment, the photoelectric module 100 further includes a power storage device 140 electrically connected to the control device 130, and at the first The electrode layers 112a and 112b are interposed between the second electrode layers 122a and 122b.

Accordingly, in step S410, the control device 130 detects the state of the photoelectric conversion device 120. Next, in step S420, when the photoelectric conversion device 120 is in an active state, the control device 130 turns off the illumination device 110. At this time, the photovoltaic element 124 absorbs and converts the light L2 having the absorption wavelength into electric energy. Then, in step S430, the control device 130 activates the power storage device 140 to transmit and store the electrical energy to the power storage device 140 via the second electrode layers 122a, 122b (as shown in FIG. 1). In the present embodiment, when the photoelectric conversion device 120 converts the absorption wavelength light L2 into electric energy, the electric energy is smaller than the energy of the light-emitting device 110, and therefore, the electric storage device 140 is required to store the electric energy generated by the photoelectric conversion device 120 first. After the accumulation, the light-emitting device 110 is driven again. In addition, the use of the power storage device 140 to conserve electrical energy can also increase the flexibility of the timing of using electrical energy.

In other words, when the photovoltaic module 100 is in the environment illustrated in FIG. 1 (which can be regarded as a daytime environment), external light (including light L2 having an absorption wavelength and light L1 having a wavelength of penetration) is irradiated to the photoelectric conversion device 120. The light L2 having the absorption wavelength is absorbed by the photoelectric element 124 and converted into electrical energy and stored in the electrical storage device 140, and the light L1 having the wavelength of penetration penetrates the photoelectric conversion device 120 and the light-emitting device 110, so that the photoelectric The module 100 can generate electric energy by the photoelectric conversion device 120 and has a luminous effect of the light beam L1 penetrating the wavelength.

In contrast, when referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4B, when the photovoltaic module 100 is in the environment depicted in FIG. 2 (serving as a nighttime or darkroom environment), no external ambient light is available for the photoelectric conversion device 120 to operate. Therefore, the photoelectric conversion device 120 is substantially in an unactuated state, so in step S440, the control device 130 activates the power storage device 140 to transfer the electrical energy therein to the light emitting device 110, so that the photovoltaic module 100 is The light source L3 having the light-emitting wavelength can be generated at night, so that the photoelectric module 100 can maintain the normal operation of the photovoltaic module 100, that is, the photoelectric module 100 of the present embodiment can have the light-emitting wavelength L3 at any time by the above two states. Or light beam L1 that penetrates the wavelength. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4C, in step S450, when the photoelectric conversion device 120 is in an active state, the control device 130 also activates the power of the power storage device 140 to be transmitted to the light-emitting device 110. Both the light-emitting device 110 and the photoelectric conversion device 120 are in an active state, so that the photovoltaic module 100 can simultaneously have the light-emitting wavelength L3 and the light-transmitting light L1. For example, the photovoltaic module 100 can generate red light having a wavelength range of 580 nm to 1100 nm (ie, having both the illuminating wavelength ray L3 and the penetrating wavelength ray L1). This allows the related equipment to which the photovoltaic module 100 is applied to be free from environmental light sources. For example, in the field of biomedicine, physical light therapy of the human body is usually performed using red light (wavelength of about 635 nm), so when the physical phototherapy device is applied When the photovoltaic module 100 of the invention is invented, it can be affected by the region and time. Moreover, when the photovoltaic module 100 is miniaturized, it can be attached to the human body, and since the photovoltaic module 100 can be operated at any time and any place, the physical phototherapy can have better therapeutic effects. Therefore, in this embodiment, the penetrating wavelength light L1 is a wavelength of a red light range, and the absorption wavelength light L2 is a wavelength outside the infrared range. For example, the wavelength of the blue or green light range may be such that the wavelength of the wavelength L2 is absorbed. Less than the penetration wavelength.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and different photovoltaic element 124 materials may be selected according to different needs to obtain appropriate absorption/transmission wavelength light (L2/L1). For example, the absorption wavelength L2 may be ultraviolet light. The wavelength, the wavelength of penetration, can be a yellow wavelength for use as an indoor illumination. Similarly, a suitable organic light-emitting layer 114 material may be selected to conform to the desired light-emitting wavelength of light L3. In addition, the design of the absorption/transmission/emission wavelength can also be switched according to different designs. For example, the transmission wavelength (light L1) can be the same as the emission wavelength (light L3), or can be different or have a partial overlapping range. In other words, in the present embodiment, the transmitted wavelength light L1 is the wavelength of the red light range, and the light emission wavelength light L3 is also the wavelength of the red light range. In another embodiment, the transmitted wavelength light L1 is a wavelength of a red light range, and the light emission wavelength L3 is a wavelength of a red light and a yellow light range.

On the other hand, the first substrate 116 of the light-emitting device 110 and the second substrate 126 of the photoelectric conversion device 120 are, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). Or made of polycarbonate (PC), the first substrate 116 and the second substrate 126 have light transmissivity and flexibility by the characteristics of the material, wherein the transmittance of the substrates 116, 126 The light-emitting wavelength light L3 or the light-transmitting light L1 is passed through, and the flexibility is used to allow the photovoltaic module 100 to freely deform and increase the applicable range. In addition, in the embodiment, the first substrate 116, the second substrate 126, the first electrode layer 112, and the second electrode layer 122 are translucent, so that both the through-wavelength light L1 and the light-emitting wavelength light L3 can be worn. Through, the photoelectric module 100 can be formed on both sides to emit light to increase the convenience of use.
