- the inventor has found through research that with the development of automobile intelligence, electrification and networking, smart cockpit technology has become an important part of automobiles.
- An important component of the smart cockpit is the car glass, including front and rear windshields, sunroofs, side windows and sun visors.
- Automotive glass needs to have more and more functions.
- automotive glass in addition to the conventional light transmission function, automotive glass also needs to have functions such as displaying images and interacting with users.
- Automotive glass with display, interaction and other functions requires the comprehensive use of thin-film transistor arrays, display control, multi-color pixels and other technologies. Therefore, the cost of this automotive glass is higher than that of traditional automotive glass.
- the current technical direction with strong landing is dimming glass. In other words, when dimming glass is used in vehicles, in addition to realizing the conventional light transmission function, it also realizes functions such as displaying images and interacting with users.
- Switchable glass may include PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal), EC (electrochromic) and SPD (suspended particle) technologies.
- PDLC dimming glass was put into mass production relatively early, with relatively low cost, and can achieve both transparent and atomized effects.
- the polymer dispersed liquid crystal molecules When powered on, the polymer dispersed liquid crystal molecules are arranged in an orderly manner, and light passes directly through the glass; when powered off, the polymer dispersed liquid crystal molecules are arranged in a disordered manner, and light is scattered, thus forming an atomized effect.
- PDLC dimming glass is usually white in color, and can present soft natural light after being atomized.
- the suspended particles in SPD dimming glass can absorb more than 99% of visible light. When the power is off, the glass is atomized; when the power is on, the suspended particles are oriented (ordered) to allow light to pass through. SPD dimming glass achieves continuous light adjustment. Due to the characteristics of suspended particles, SPD dimming glass requires a 110V voltage and more complete safety measures, which directly increases the cost. SPD dimming glass is generally blue, and the appearance is different from PDLC glass.
- EC dimming glass In EC dimming glass, the color changes caused by materials and electric fields are used to adjust the light transmittance of the glass.
- EC dimming glass consists of three parts: ion storage layer, solid electrolyte and electrochromic layer. It has the characteristics of low voltage, low haze and power-off memory. Under the action of the electric field, the reflectivity, transmittance and absorptivity of the electrochromic layer change, thereby changing the light passing through the glass. In terms of color, EC dimming glass mainly comes in two types: gray and blue.
- the dimming glass may include dye liquid crystal dimming glass.
