Abstract
A visible light transmitting structure with photovoltaic effect comprises a transparent substrate and a PN junction layer having a P type semiconductor and an N type semiconductor, which is formed on the substrate. The visible light transmitting structure with photovoltaic effect may be used as a windowpane of a house or a business place for shutting out harmful ultraviolet rays by passing visible light through the windowpane.
