Abstract
A smart window including: a thermochromic or thermotropic transmittance controlling layer; and a heater layer for generating heat in response to an external energy source and for supplying the heat to the transmittance controlling layer.
Claims18
A smart window comprising:
- a transparent substrate;
- a thermochromic or thermotropic transmittance controlling layer on the transparent substrate;
- and a heater layer for generating heat in response to an external energy source and for supplying the heat to the transmittance controlling layer to control the light transmittance of the smart window, the external energy source comprising a microwave emitter for emitting microwaves.
A smart window comprising:
- a thermochromic or thermotropic transmittance controlling layer;
- a heater layer for generating heat in response to an external energy source and for supplying heat to the transmittance controlling layer;
- a first transparent substrate;
- a second transparent substrate;
- and
- a heater electrode layer on the second transparent substrate,
- wherein the heater electrode layer is configured to supply energy to the heater layer, and
- wherein the second transparent substrate is disposed parallel to the first transparent substrate at an interval in a thickness direction of the first transparent substrate, the transmittance controlling layer is on the first transparent substrate, and the heater layer is on the second transparent substrate.
