Abstract
A glass substrate a vanadium dioxide-based switchable film and a visible-light anti-reflection film. The vanadium dioxide-based switchable film and said visible-light anti-reflection film are coated on to the glass substrate. The vanadium dioxide-based switchable film has a switching temperature set approximately at a proper temperature or a target air-conditioning temperature to be controlled in an interior space in contact with said glass, thereby providing a solar switching and heat-insulating functions to said glass.

A multifunctional automatic solar switchable and heat-insulating glass comprising:
- a glass substrate;
- a vanadium dioxide-based switchable film;
- and
- a visible-light anti-reflection film,
- wherein said vanadium dioxide-based switchable film and said visible-light anti-reflection film are coated on to the glass substrate,
- wherein said vanadium dioxide-based switchable film has a switching temperature set approximately at a proper temperature or a target air-conditioning temperature to be controlled in an interior space in contact with said glass, thereby providing a solar switching and heat-insulating functions to said glass.
A method of switching a multifunctional automatic solar switchable and heat-insulating glass comprising:
- setting switching temperature of a switchable film approximately at a target heating temperature to be controlled in an interior space in contact with said glass;
- the glass operably responding to an actual temperature of said interior space lower than said switching temperature to transmit solar heat from outside;
- and
- the glass operably responding to an actual temperature of said interior space higher than said switching temperature to transmit visible light and reflect heater-heat toward said interior space.
