Abstract
Example embodiments relate to a solar cell configured to scatter incident light to be penetrated so as to increase a light progress path and includes a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer on at least one of a first and a second electrodes.
Claims17
A solar cell comprising:
- a first electrode and a second electrode spaced apart from each other;
- a semiconductor layer between the first electrode and the second electrode;
- and
- a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer on at least one of the first and second electrodes, the PDLC layer comprising a polymer and liquid crystals;
- and
- an anti-reflection film in direct physical contact on the PDLC layer,
- wherein the PDLC layer scatters an incident light to be penetrated to increase a light path in the semiconductor layer.
