除非上下文另有要求,否则,在整个说明书和权利要求书中,术语“包括(comprise)”及其其他形式例如第三人称单数形式“包括(comprises)”和现在分词形式“包括(comprising)”被解释为开放、包含的意思,即为“包含,但不限于”。在说明书的描述中,术语“一个实施例(one embodiment)”、“一些实施例(some embodiments)”、“示例性实施例(exemplary embodiments)”、“示例(example)”、“特定示例(specific example)”或“一些示例(some examples)”等旨在表明与该实施例或示例相关的特定特征、结构、材料或特性包括在本公开的至少一个实施例或示例中。上述术语的示意性表示不一定是指同一实施例或示例。此外,所述的特定特征、结构、材料或特点可以以任何适当方式包括在任何一个或多个实施例或示例中。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本公开实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
“A、B和C中的至少一个”与“A、B或C中的至少一个”具有相同含义,均包括以下A、B和C的组合:仅A,仅B,仅C,A和B的组合,A和C的组合,B和C的组合,及A、B和C的组合。
“A和/或B”,包括以下三种组合:仅A,仅B,及A和B的组合。
在相关技术中,电控型的调光玻璃应用较为广泛。该调光玻璃通常包括相对设置的两个基板,以及设置在该两个基板之间的液晶层。这样通过控制施加至液晶层两侧的驱动电压,可以实现对液晶层中液晶分子偏转状态的控制,进而实现对调光玻璃的光线透过率(也即在透明状态与不透明状态之间逐渐变换)的控制。
上述调光玻璃包括常白模式的调光玻璃,也即在未对调光玻璃施加驱动电压的情况下,调光玻璃处于透明状态(也即光线透过率为100%或者大约100%);随着驱动电压的值的增大,调光玻璃的光线透过率逐渐降低,由透明状态逐渐变换至不透明状态(也即光线透过率为0或者大约为0)。
然而,上述液晶层中的液晶分子容易受到温度的影响,例如在温度较高的情况下,其活性会增强。在提供相同驱动电压的情况下,温度较高的液晶分子的偏转角度会大于温度较低的液晶分子的偏转角度,使得处于温度较高环境中的调光玻璃的光线透过率大于处于温度较低环境中的调光玻璃的光线 透过率。这样在上述调光玻璃中,不同位置处液晶分子的温度不同、且驱动电压为不透明状态所对应的驱动电压的情况下,温度较高的位置处的光线透过率增加,并出现亮点,使得调光玻璃出现沙化不良现象。
基于此,本公开的一些实施例提供了一种调光玻璃系统1000。如图9所示,该调光玻璃系统包括调光玻璃100以及控制器200。
在一些实施例中,如图4和图5所示,调光玻璃100包括:染料液晶层3,以及至少一个温度传感器4。所述至少一个温度传感器4被配置为检测该染料液晶层3的温度。
如图9所示,上述控制器200与调光玻璃100中的所述至少一个温度传感器4电连接,且被配置为,控制所述至少一个温度传感器4检测调光玻璃10中的染料液晶层3的温度,获取所述至少一个温度传感器4的检测信号,并根据该检测信号向调光玻璃100传输用于控制染料液晶层3的驱动电压。
下面对控制器200根据该检测信号向调光玻璃100传输用于控制染料液晶层3的驱动电压,进行示意性说明。
在一些示例中,在调光玻璃100工作的过程中,控制器200会向调光玻璃100传输驱动电压,以控制染料液晶层3中的液晶分子的偏转状态,控制调光玻璃100的光线透过率。同时,控制器200可以控制上述至少一个温度传感器4实时检测染料液晶层3的温度。在控制器200获取该至少一个温度传感器4的检测信号(与染料液晶层3的温度相对应的信号)后,控制器200可以根据温度与驱动电压之间的映射表,调节传输至染料液晶层3的驱动电压。这样可以使得染料液晶层3中不同位置处的液晶分子的偏转状态为较为理想的偏转状态,使得调光玻璃100中不同位置处的光线透过率为较为理想的光线透过率,削弱甚至消除调光玻璃100的沙化不良现象。
下面结合附图对本公开的一些实施例提供的调光玻璃系统1000的结构进行示意性说明。
如图1和图2所示,本公开的一些实施例提供了一种调光玻璃100。如图4和图5所示,该调光玻璃100包括:相对设置的第一基板1和第二基板2。
如图4和图5所示,上述第一基板1包括第一衬底基板11,设置在第一衬底基板11的一侧的第一调光电极12,以及设置在第一调光电极11的远离第一衬底基板11的一侧的第一配向膜13。上述第二基板2包括第二衬底基板21,设置在第二衬底基板21的靠近第一基板1的一侧的第二调光电极22,以及设置在第二调光电极21的靠近第一基板1的一侧的第二配向膜23。
在一些示例中,上述第一衬底基板11的类型和第二衬底基板21的类型 可以相同,也可以不同,能够透光即可。示例性的,第一衬底基板11和第二衬底基板21可以为可透光的玻璃衬底基板。这样在调光玻璃100处于透明状态时,可以确保调光玻璃100具有较好的光线透过率。
在一些示例中,上述第一调光电极12和第二调光线电极22的材料可以相同,也可以不同,可以使得第一调光电极12和第二调光电极22能够透光即可。示例性的,第一调光电极12和第二调光线电极22的材料相同,其材料包括透明导电材料。例如为氧化铟锡(Indium Tin Oxide,简称ITO)或氧化铟锌(Indium Zinc Oxide,简称IZO)。此处,ITO或IZO均为具有较高光线透过率的导电材料,这样在调光玻璃100处于透明状态时,可以确保调光玻璃100具有较好的光线透过率,避免因第一调光电极12和第二调光线电极22对调光玻璃100的光线透过率产生不良印象。
在一些示例中,上述第一配向膜13和第二配向膜23的材料可以相同,也可以不同,可以使得第一配向膜13和第二配向膜23能够透光即可。示例性的,第一配向膜13和第二配向膜23的材料相同,其材料可以为聚酰亚胺、N-甲基吡咯烷酮和乙二醇丁醚的混合物,或者,其材料可以为丙烯酸羟乙酯、3-异氰酸酯基亚甲基-3,5,5-三甲基环己基异氰酸酯、双酚基丙烷或1,4-环己二醇的聚合物。这样在调光玻璃100处于透明状态时,可以确保调光玻璃100具有较好的光线透过率。
在一些示例中,如图4和图5所示,调光玻璃100还包括染料液晶层3。染料液晶层3设置在第一基板1和第二基板2之间,也即,设置在第一配向膜13和第二配向膜23之间。
染料液晶层3包括液晶分子31,以及能够吸收光线的吸光离子32。染料液晶层3中,吸光离子32的分子轴与液晶分子31的长轴基本保持平行排列。在液晶分子31发生偏转的情况下,吸光离子32会在液晶分子间作用力的作用下,与液晶分子31产生同位相的转动。吸光离子32的旋转角度不同,则其对光线的吸收率不同,阻挡光线的效果不同。
此处,控制器200在传输驱动电压以控制染料液晶层3时,是将驱动电压传输至第一调光电极12和第二调光线电极22上,对染料液晶层3进行控制的。
在一些示例中,如图1和图2所示,调光玻璃100还包括设置在第一基板1和第二基板2之间,且分别与第一调光电极12和第二调光电极22电连接的电极引线7。控制器200可以与电极引线7电连接,通过电极引线7将驱动电压传输至第一调光电极12和第二调光线电极22。
下面对调光玻璃100的工作原理进行示意性说明。示例性的,调光玻璃100为常白模式的调光玻璃。
在未给染料液晶层3传输驱动电压的情况下,如图4所示,染料液晶层3中的液晶分子31长轴和吸光离子32的分子轴均垂直于第一配向膜13(或第二配向膜23),且吸光离子32无规则的分散在第一配向膜13和第二配向膜23之间。此时,在光线射向至调光玻璃100时,吸光离子32基本未对光线进行吸收,使得光线可以较为完全地透过调光玻璃100(也即调光玻璃100的光线透过率为100%或大约为100%),进而使得调光玻璃100处于透明状态。
在给染料液晶层3施加驱动电压的情况下,如图5所示,驱动电压传输至第一调光电极12和第二调光电极22(例如传输至第一调光电极12的电压为正电压,传输至第二调光线电极22的电压为负电压),第一调光电极12和第二调光线电极22之间产生电场,液晶分子31在该电场的作用下发生偏转,并带动吸光离子32发生旋转。例如,液晶分子31偏转至其长轴平行于第一配向膜13(或第二配向膜23)的状态,且控制吸光离子32旋转至其分子轴平行于第一配向膜13(或第二配向膜23)的状态,使得吸光离子32构成层状结构。此时,在光线射向至调光玻璃100时,吸光离子32能够对光线进行较为完全的吸收,使得光线难以透过调光玻璃100(也即调光玻璃100的光线透过率为0或大约为0),进而使得调光玻璃100处于不透明状态。
需要说明的是,由于在未给染料液晶层3传输驱动电压时,液晶分子31长轴垂直于第一配向膜13,这样可以避免对第一配向膜13和第二配向膜23进行摩擦取向,有利于简化调光玻璃100的制备工艺。当然,本公开实施例并不限于上述模式的调光玻璃100。
在一些示例中,如图1和图2所示,调光玻璃100还包括至少一个温度传感器4。也即,调光玻璃100可以包括一个温度传感器4(例如图2中所示),也可以包括多个温度传感器4(例如图1中所示)。此处,温度传感器4的数量可以根据实际需要选择设置。
例如,在调光玻璃100的尺寸较小的情况下,温度传感器4的数量可以较少(例如1个或2个)。
又如,在调光玻璃100的尺寸较大的情况下,温度传感器4的数量可以较多(例如4个或5个)。这样可以利用该多个温度传感器4检测染料液晶层3的多个位置的温度,有利于提高染料液晶层3的温度检测结果的准确度。
本示例中,上述至少一个温度传感器4设置在第一基板1和第二基板2之间,而未设置在第一基板1远离第二基板2的一侧表面上或第二基板2远 离第一基板1的一侧表面上(也即调光玻璃100的外部)。
通过将该至少一个温度传感器4设置在第一基板1和第二基板2之间,可以使得该至少一个温度传感器4与染料液晶层3处于同一环境下,相比于将该至少一个温度传感器4设置在调光玻璃100的外部,在利用该至少一个温度传感器4检测染料液晶层3的温度的过程中,可以避免受到外部环境温度的干扰,或者避免受到第一衬底基板11的温度或第二衬底基板12的温度的干扰,有利于提高该至少一个温度传感器4所检测的结果的准确性,较为准确地反应染料液晶层3的温度状态。
由此,本公开的一些实施例提供的调光玻璃100,通过在第一基板1和第二基板2之间设置染料液晶层3,并将检测该染料液晶层3的温度的至少一个温度传感器4也设置在第一基板1和第二基板2之间,能够有效提高该至少一个温度传感器4的检测结果的准确性。而且,在将调光玻璃应用于调光玻璃系统1000的情况下,可以使得控制器200从至少一个温度传感器4获取准确性较高的检测信号,进而使得控制器200可以传输准确性较高的驱动电压至染料液晶层3。这样有利于使得染料液晶层3中不同位置处的液晶分子的偏转状态为较为理想的偏转状态,使得调光玻璃100中不同位置处的光线透过率为较为理想的光线透过率,削弱甚至消除调光玻璃100的沙化不良现象。
本公开实施例中上述至少一个温度传感器4的设置位置包括多种,可以根据实际需要选择设置。
在一些示例中,该至少一个温度传感器4设置在第一基板1的靠近第二基板2的一侧,和/或,该至少一个温度传感器4设置在第二基板2的靠近第一基板1的一侧。
由此,在温度传感器4的数量为一个的情况下,该温度传感器4可以设置在第一基板1的靠近第二基板2的一侧,或者,也可以设置在第二基板2的靠近第一基板1的一侧。在温度传感器4的数量为多个的情况下,该多个温度传感器4可以全部设置在第一基板1的靠近第二基板2的一侧,或者,也可以全部设置在第二基板2的靠近第一基板1的一侧,或者,该多个温度传感器4中的一部分温度传感器4设置在第一基板1的靠近第二基板2的一侧,其余部分设置在第二基板2的靠近第一基板1的一侧。
在一些实施例中,如图1和图2所示,调光玻璃100具有主区域Q1,以及位于该主区域Q1的至少一侧的边缘区域Q2。
上述调光玻璃100的结构包括多种,可以根据实际需要选择设置。
在一些示例中,如图1所示,调光玻璃100的周边均具有边缘区域Q2。 也就是说,边缘区域Q2环绕主区域Q1。
在另一些示例中,如图2所示,调光玻璃100的周边的一部分具有边缘区域Q2,另一部分无边缘区域Q2。也就是说,边缘区域Q2并未环绕主区域Q1。例如,边缘区域Q2位于主区域Q1的相对两侧。又如,边缘区域Q2位于主区域Q1的相邻两侧。又如图2中所示的,边缘区域Q2位于主区域Q1的多侧。
在一些实施例中,如图4和图5所示,染料液晶层3位于主区域Q1内,上述至少一个温度传感器4位于调光玻璃100的边缘区域Q2内。通过将染料液晶层3和该至少一个温度传感器4设置在不同的区域,可以避免染料液晶层3对该至少一个温度传感器4的工作性能产生不良影响。
在一些示例中,该至少一个温度传感器4设置在调光玻璃100的边缘区域Q2内,包括多种设置位置。该设置位置与调光玻璃100所处的环境温度相关。
例如,调光玻璃100所处的环境温度较为均匀,调光玻璃100的不同位置处的温度之间基本无差异。此时,该至少一个温度传感器4可以设置在边缘区域Q2内的任意位置处。
又如,调光玻璃100所处的环境温度不均匀,调光玻璃100的不同位置处的温度之间差异较大。此时,该至少一个温度传感器4中的至少一部分可以设置在边缘区域Q2内的温度较高的位置处(例如温度最高的位置处)。在将调光玻璃100应用于调光系统1000中,控制器200获取该至少一个温度传感器4的检测信号后,可以以其中的最高温度所对应的检测信号为基准,传输控制染料液晶层3的驱动电压。这样可以确保染料液晶层3中不同位置处的液晶分子均可以偏转至较为理想的状态,进而控制不同位置处的吸光离子也均旋转至较为理想的状态,使得调光玻璃100的不同位置处的光线透过率均处于较为理想的状态,有效改善调光玻璃100整体的沙状不良现象,避免出现仅仅改善部分位置处的沙状不良现象的情况。
在一些实施例中,如图4和图5所示,调光玻璃100还包括:设置在第一基板1和第二基板2之间的封框胶5。此处,该封框胶5的材料例如可以为能够透光的材料。
上述封框胶5围绕染料液晶层3。这样封框胶5可以在将第一基板1和第二基板2粘结的同时,将染料液晶层3密封在第一基板1、第二基板2和封框胶5构成的密封空间内,对染料液晶层3进行保护。
在一些示例中,如图4和图5所示,至少一部分封框胶5位于染料液晶 层3与该至少一个温度传感器4之间。这样可以利用该至少一部分封框胶5,将位于不同区域内的染料液晶层3和该至少一个温度传感器4进行隔离,避免染料液晶层3进入到边缘区域Q2内,避免影响该至少一个温度传感器4的工作性能。
在一些示例中,如图4和图5所示,上述至少一部分封框胶5在第一衬底基板11上的正投影,与该至少一个温度传感器4在第一衬底基板11上的正投影有交叠。也即,该至少一部分封框胶5部分覆盖或全部覆盖至少一个温度传感器4。这样可以利用该至少一部分封框胶5对该至少一个温度传感器4形成保护,并将该至少一个温度传感器4较为牢固的粘接在第一基板1和第二基板2之间。
在一些实施例中,该至少一个温度传感器4类型包括多种,可以根据实际需要选择设置。
在一些示例中,该至少一个温度传感器4包括正温度系数热敏电阻器(Positive Temperature Coefficient,简称PTC)和负温度系数热敏电阻器(Negative Temperature Coefficient,简称NTC)中的至少一种。也即,在温度传感器4的数量为一个的情况下,该温度传感器4的类型可以为PTC,或者,也可以为NTC;在温度传感器4的数量为多个的情况下,该多个温度传感器4的类型可以全部为PTC,或者,可以全部为NTC,或者,可以一部分为PTC,另一部分为NTC。
此处,PTC的电阻值会随着温度的升高而增大,NTC的电阻值会随着温度的降低而增大。
在一些实施例中,如图3~图5所示,该至少一个温度传感器4中,每个温度传感器4包括:设置在第一基板1或第二基板2上的导电本体41,与导电本体41电连接的传感电极42,以及覆盖在导电本体41和传感电极42上的保护层43。该保护层43被配置为,对导电本体41和传感电极42进行保护,避免导电本体41和传感电极42受到损伤,影响温度传感器4的工作性能。
在一些示例中,保护层43的材料包括绝缘材料。该绝缘材料可以为无机绝缘材料,例如氮化硅;该绝缘材料也可以为有机绝缘材料,例如树脂材料。
在一些示例中,上述导电本体41设置在第一基板1或第二基板2上指的是,导电本体41设置在第一衬底基板11的靠近第二基板2的一侧,或者设置在第二衬底基板21的靠近第一基板1的一侧。
在一些示例中,导电本体41被配置为对染料液晶层3的温度进行检测。导电本体41的材料包括热敏材料,该热敏材料包括热敏电阻合金材料,例如 铂铱合金或镍铬合金等。
由于上述热敏电阻合金材料具有较大的电阻率和电阻温度系数,这样可以使得导电本体41也具有较大的电阻率和电阻温度系数,使得导电本体41的电阻值随温度的变化较为明显,有利于提高温度传感器4的灵敏度。
在一些示例中,控制器200与温度传感器4电连接指的是,控制器200与温度传感器4中的传感电极42电连接。传感电极42被配置为对导电本体41生成的检测信号进行传输,使得控制器200能够通过传感电极42获取导电本体41生成的检测信号。
每个导电本体41可以和多个传感电极42电连接。示例性的,如图3所示,每个导电本体41与两个传感电极42电连接。
上述传感电极42的材料包括多种。示例性的,传感电极42的材料包括透明导电材料,例如具有较高光线透过率的ITO。由于ITO具有较高的导电率,采用ITO形成传感电极42,可以既可以避免影响调光玻璃100的透过率,又可以确保传感电极42的检测信号传输效率。
在一些实施例中,由于每个传感器4中的传感电极42的材料包括透明导电材料,且第一调光电极12和第二调光电极22的材料也包括透明导电材料,这样在温度传感器4设置于第一基板1上的情况下,传感电极42可以与第一调光电极12材料相同(例如均为ITO)且同层设置;在温度传感器4设置于第二基板2上的情况下,传感电极42可以与第二调光电极22材料相同(例如均为ITO)且同层设置。
本文中提及的“同层”指的是采用同一成膜工艺形成用于形成特定图形的膜层,然后利用同一掩模板通过一次构图工艺形成的层结构。根据特定图形的不同,一次构图工艺可能包括多次曝光、显影或刻蚀工艺,而形成的层结构中的特定图形可以是连续的也可以是不连续的,这些特定图形还可能处于不同的高度或者具有不同的厚度。这样一来,在温度传感器4设置于第一基板1上的情况下,可以同时制作传感电极42和第一调光电极12;在温度传感器4设置于第二基板2上的情况下,可以同时制作传感电极42和第二调光电极22。这样有利于减小调光玻璃100的厚度,简化调光玻璃100的制作工艺。
由温度传感器4的结构可知,本公开将温度传感器4集成在了调光玻璃100的内部,与染料液晶层3处于同一环境下,而非粘接贴合在调光玻璃100的内部或外部,这样可以避免出现因粘接贴合不紧密而导致温度传感器4的检测信号结果不准确的问题,避免因调光玻璃100处于环境温差较大、湿度 变化较大或日光暴晒等恶劣环境下,而出现温度传感器4脱落的情况。而且,在将调光玻璃100应用于中空玻璃内的情况下,相比于将温度传感器4设置在调光玻璃100的外部,有利于降低制作难度。
本公开的一些实施例提供了一种调光玻璃的制备方法。如图6所示,该制备方法包括S100~S300。
S100,制备第一基板1和第二基板2。
在一些示例中,上述S100中,制备第一基板1,包括S110a~S130a。
S110a,提供第一衬底基板11。
S120a,如图8中(d)所示,在第一衬底基板11的一侧形成第一透明导电材料薄膜,对该第一透明导电材料薄膜进行图案化,形成第一调光电极12。
示例性的,可以采用溅射工艺、沉积工艺或蒸镀工艺形成第一透明导电材料薄膜,可以采用光刻工艺对第一透明导电材料薄膜进行图案化。
S130a,如图8中(f)所示,在第一调光电极12的远离第一衬底基板11的一侧涂覆形成第一配向薄膜,对第一配向薄膜进行固化,形成第一配向膜13。
此处,第一衬底基板11、第一调光电极12和第一配向膜13的材料可以参照上述一些实施例中的相关内容。
在一些示例中,上述S100中,制备第二基板2,包括S110b~S130b。
S110b,提供第二衬底基板21。
S120b,在第二衬底基板21的一侧形成第二透明导电材料薄膜,对该第二透明导电材料薄膜进行图案化,形成第二调光电极22。
示例性的,可以采用溅射工艺、沉积工艺或蒸镀工艺形成第二透明导电材料薄膜,可以采用光刻工艺对第二透明导电材料薄膜进行图案化。
S130b,在第二调光电极22的远离第二衬底基板21的一侧涂覆形成第二配向薄膜,对第二配向薄膜进行固化,形成第二配向膜23。
此处,第二衬底基板21、第二调光电极22和第二配向膜23的材料可以参照上述一些实施例中的相关内容。制备第二调光电极22和第二配向膜23的流程图可以参照图8中所示的流程图。
S200,如图8中(a)~(e)所示,在第一基板1和/或第二基板2上形成至少一个温度传感器4。
上述至少一个温度传感器4可以形成在第一基板1上,或者,可以形成在第二基板2上,或者,既可以形成在第一基板1上,又可以形成在第二基板2上。
示例性的,如图8中(a)~(e)所示,以至少一个温度传感器4形成在第一基板1上为例。该至少一个温度传感器4形成在第一基板1上后,与第一配向膜13位于第一衬底基板11的同一侧。
S300,如图8中(h)和(i)所示,在第一基板1和第二基板2之间形成染料液晶层3。其中,所述至少一个温度传感器4位于第一基板1和第二基板2之间,该至少一个温度传感器4被配置为,检测染料液晶层3的温度。
在一些示例中,如图8中(g)所示,在上述S300之前,调光玻璃的制备方法还包括:在第一基板1和第二基板2之间形成封框胶5。该封框胶5围绕染料液晶层3,且至少一部分封框胶5位于染料液晶层3与该至少一个温度传感器4之间。
在一些示例中,上述S300中,在第一基板1和第二基板2之间形成染料液晶层3,包括多种形成方式。形成染料液晶层3的方式与封框胶5的形成位置相关。
示例性的,如图8中(g)~(i)所示,封框胶5形成在第一基板1和第二基板2中的一者的一侧,且该封框胶5呈封闭的环状结构(例如方环或圆环)。此时,可以在该封框胶5所围成的区域内涂覆或滴注染料液晶,然后将第一基板1和第二基板2中的另一者放置在染料液晶的一侧,与封框胶5粘合。这样便使得上述染料液晶形成为染料液晶层3,且该染料液晶层3位于第一基板1和第二基板2之间。此处,在染料液晶层3和上述至少一个温度传感器4分别位于封框胶5的两侧,以避免染料液晶流动至该至少一个温度传感器4所在位置处。
示例性的,封框胶5形成在第一基板1和第二基板2之间,使得第一基板1和第二基板2通过封框胶5粘合到一起,构成一腔体。该封框胶5设置有开口,呈未封闭的环状结构(例如方环或圆环)。此时,可以通过该开口,在第一基板1和第二基板2之间灌注染料液晶,之后将该开口封闭,这样便使得该染料液晶形成为染料液晶层3,且该染料液晶层3位于第一基板1和第二基板2之间。此处,在形成封框胶5后,上述至少一个温度传感器4位于腔体外,使得所形成的染料液晶层3和该至少一个温度传感器4分别位于封框胶5的两侧,这样可以避免染料液晶流动至该至少一个温度传感器4所在位置处。
此处,染料液晶层3位于第一基板1和第二基板2之间,也即,染料液晶层3位于第一配向膜13和第二配向膜23之间。这样在形成染料液晶层3之后,形成在第一基板1和/或第二基板2上的至少一个温度传感器4也便自 然而然地位于第一基板1和第二基板2之间。
在一些示例中,如图8中(g)所示,封框胶5在第一基板1上的正投影与该至少一个温度传感器4在第一基板1上的正投影有交叠。这样既可以利用封框胶5粘合第一基板1和第二基板2,还可以利用封框胶5将该至少一个温度传感器4较为牢固地粘合在第一基板1和第二基板2之间,避免该至少一个温度传感器4从第一基板1和第二基板2之间脱离。
本公开的一些实施例中提供的调光玻璃的制备方法所能实现的有益效果,与上述一些实施例中提供的调光玻璃100所能实现的有益效果相同,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,上述各步骤标号(例如S110a~S130a、S110b~S130b或S100~S300),仅是为了较为清楚的对各个步骤的内容进行说明,并不是对制备调光玻璃100的各步骤的先后顺序进行限定,制备调光玻璃100的各步骤的先后顺序可以根据实际需要自行设定。
在一些实施例中,上述至少一个温度传感器4中,每个温度传感器4包括:导电本体41,与导电本体41电连接的传感电极42,以及覆盖导电本体41和传感电极42的保护层43。如图7所示,形成该温度传感器4,包括S210~S250。
S210,如图8中(a)所示,在第一基板1或第二基板2上形成第一导电薄膜41'。
示例性的,可以采用溅射工艺、沉积工艺或蒸镀工艺形成第一导电薄膜41'。第一导电薄膜41'的材料可以为铂铱合金或镍铬合金等。
S220,如图8中(b)所示,图案化第一导电薄膜41',形成导电本体41。
示例性的,上述S220中形成导电本体41,包括:在第一导电薄膜41'的一侧涂覆光刻胶,采用光刻工艺对光刻胶进行图案化;以图案化后的光刻胶为掩膜,采用湿刻工艺或干刻工艺对第一导电薄膜进行刻蚀41',形成导电本体41。
S230,如图8中(c)所示,在导电本体的一侧形成第二导电薄膜42'。
示例性的,可以采用溅射工艺、沉积工艺或蒸镀工艺形成第二导电薄膜42'。第二导电薄膜42'的材料可以为ITO。
在一些示例中,在上述S230之前,还会在导电本体41的一侧表面上形成导电本体保护层(例如为光刻胶层)6。该导电本体保护层6暴露出导电本体41的用于与后续形成的传感电极42电连接的部分。通过在导电本体41的 一侧表面覆盖导电本体保护层6,可以对导电本体41进行保护,避免导电本体41在后续形成传感电极42的过程中被污染损伤。
S240,如图8中(d)所示,图案化第二导电薄膜42',形成传感电极42。
示例性的,上述S240中形成传感电极42,包括:在第二导电薄膜42'的一侧涂覆光刻胶,采用光刻工艺对光刻胶进行图案化;以图案化后的光刻胶为掩膜,采用湿刻工艺或干刻工艺对第二导电薄膜进行刻蚀42',形成传感电极42。形成传感电极42后,还会去除图案化后的光刻胶和导电本体保护层6。
S250,如图8中(e)所示,在导电本体41和传感电极42的一侧形成保护层43。
示例性的,采用等离子体增强化学气相沉积(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition,简称PECVD工艺)制作形成保护层43。保护层43的材料可以包括氮化硅(SiN X)。
在一些实施例中,如图8中(c)和(d)所示,在温度传感器4设置在第一基板1上,且第一基板1中的第一调光电极12的材料与传感电极42的材料相同的情况下,上述S120a中的第一透明导电材料薄膜即为上述S230中的第二导电薄膜42',这样在上述S240中图案化第二导电薄膜42'形成传感电极42的同时,还形成第一调光电极12。也即,传感电极42和第一调光电极12在一次构图工艺中制作形成。这样有利于减小调光玻璃100的厚度,简化调光玻璃100的制备工艺。
在另一些实施例中,在温度传感器4设置在第二基板2上,且第二基板2中的第二调光电极22的材料与传感电极42的材料相同的情况下,上述S120b中的第二透明导电材料薄膜即为上述S230中的第二导电薄膜42',这样在上述S240中图案化第二导电薄膜42'形成传感电极42的同时,还形成第二调光电极22。也即,传感电极42和第二调光电极22在一次构图工艺中制作形成。这样有利于减小调光玻璃100的厚度,简化调光玻璃100的制备工艺。此处,可以参照如图8中(c)和(d)所示的流程图。
本公开的一些实施例提供了一种调光玻璃系统的驱动方法,该驱动方法应用于上述一些实施例中提供的调光玻璃系统1000。如图11所示,该驱动方法包括S100'~S300'。
S100',控制器控制调光玻璃中的至少一个温度传感器工作。
S200',该至少一个温度传感器检测调光玻璃中染料液晶层的温度,生 成检测信号,并将检测信号传输至控制器。
在调光玻璃系统开始工作后,控制器可以控制上述至少一个温度传感器开始工作,也即开始检测染料液晶层的温度。示例性的,可以通过给该至少一个温度传感器提供工作电压,使得该至少一个温度传感器开始工作。
在一些示例中,上述至少一个温度传感器在检测染料液晶层的温度的过程中,可以实时检测染料液晶层的温度,也可以分时段检测染料液晶层的温度(例如每间隔1分钟检测一次)。相邻两次检测染料液晶层温度的时间间隔可以根据实际需要选择设置。
在一些示例中,温度传感器包括由热敏材料构成的导电本体,其电阻值对温度变化较为敏感。这样温度传感器在检测染料液晶层的温度后,可以生成变化较为明显的检测信号。该检测信号可以通过温度传感器中的传感电极传输至控制器。
S300',控制器根据检测信号得到染料液晶层的温度,并根据染料液晶层的温度调节用于控制染料液晶层的驱动电压。该驱动电压例如为交变电压。
如图9和图10所示,本公开实施例中提供的调光玻璃系统1000中,控制器200的结构包括多种。
示例性的,如图10所示,控制器200包括:信号转换模块21,与信号转换模块21连接的信号处理模块22,与信号处理模块22连接的存储模块23,以及与信号处理模块22连接的交变电压生成电路24。其中,各模块之间的连接可以为电连接,也可以为信号连接。
此处,信号转换模块21被配置为,获取至少一个温度传感器4的检测信号,并将该检测信号转换为温度。存储模块23被配置为,对温度与驱动电压之间的映射表进行存储。信号处理模块22被配置为,获取信号转换模块21所转换的温度,并调用存储模块23所存储的映射表,从该映射表中查找得到与该温度相对应的驱动电压。交变电压生成电路24被配置为,获取信号处理模块22查找得到的驱动电压,并生成相应的驱动电压,将该驱动电压传输至调光玻璃100的染料液晶层3。
下面对控制器调节驱动电压的过程进行示意性说明。
示例性的,控制器在获取检测信号(该检测信号通常为电信号)后,可以先将该检测信号转换为温度。控制器在得到该温度后,可以根据温度与驱动电压之间的映射表,得到与该温度相对应的驱动电压。之后控制器便可以将该驱动电压传输至调光玻璃,控制染料液晶层中液晶分子的偏转,并带动吸光离子旋转。
此处,上述温度与驱动电压之间的映射表,包括:温度、驱动电压的值、驱动电压的频率以及光线透过率之间的对应关系。该映射表可以是预先经过多次试验测定的。
由上可知,调光玻璃的光线透过率与驱动电压的值和/或驱动电压的频率相关,也即染料液晶层中液晶分子的偏转角度与驱动电压的值和/或驱动电压的频率相关。这样便可以通过动态调整驱动电压的值和/或驱动电压的频率来调节驱动电压。
在一些示例中,上述S300'中,根据染料液晶层的温度调节用于控制染料液晶层的驱动电压,包括:调节驱动电压的值,和/或,调节驱动电压的频率。
示例性的,染料液晶层在工作的过程中,液晶分子的偏转角度会随着驱动电压的值的增大而增大。这样在降低驱动电压的值时,能够减小液晶分子的偏转角度。此外,在驱动电压的频率不变的情况下,液晶分子会以一定的频率进行反转。这样在驱动电压的值不变时,提高驱动电压的频率,也就相当于提前给液晶分子提供反向电压,使得液晶分子在偏转至最大偏转角度之前即进行反转,这样可以减小液晶分子的偏转角度。此处,最大偏转角度指的是,液晶分子在上述驱动电压的值的作用下所能达到的偏转角度。
由此,在调光玻璃出现沙化不良现象时,可以通过降低驱动电压的值和/或提高驱动电压的频率来减小染料液晶层中液晶分子的偏转角度,进而减小染料液晶层中吸光离子的旋转角度,增强吸光离子吸收光线的效率,减少透过调光玻璃的光线的量,有效改善甚至消除该沙化不良现象。
下面对调光玻璃的光线透过率与驱动电压之间的关系进行示意性说明。
示例性的,调光玻璃的尺寸为13.2英寸,染料液晶层的厚度(也即染料液晶层在垂直于调光玻璃中第一基板的方向上的尺寸)为25μm,控制器的驱动电压最大值为22V,染料液晶层的温度为80℃。
如图12所示,图中在驱动电压大于10V之后出现的曲线翘起,表示为调光玻璃的透过率异常上升,出现沙状不良现象。
从图中可以看出,在同一温度和同一频率的驱动电压下,驱动电压的值越低,透光玻璃越不容易出现沙状不良现象。例如,在驱动电压的频率为60Hz时,在驱动电压的值为12V至20V之间,调光玻璃的透过率随驱动电压的值的下降而降低。在同一温度和同一值的驱动电压下,驱动电压的频率越高,透光玻璃越不容易出现沙状不良现象。例如,在驱动电压的值为20V时,调光玻璃的透过率随驱动电压的频率的升高而降低。
本公开实施例中提供的调光玻璃系统的驱动方法所能实现的有益效果,与上述一些实施例中提供的调光玻璃系统所能实现的有益效果相同,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,上述一些实施例中提及的调光玻璃系统1000,可以应用于建筑物、汽车或飞机等的窗户处。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
