Title

Multi-function light-adjusting glass

Patent No.

US 10,788,712 B1

Issued Date

Sep. 29, 2020

Abstract

A multi-function light-adjusting glass includes first and second substrates delimiting an intermediate space therebetween, a light-adjusting layer disposed in the intermediate space, and a first polarizing board located at an outer side of the first substrate away from the intermediate space, and a second polarizing board located at an outer side of the second substrate away from the intermediate space. Each substrate includes an electrically conductive film on an inner surface of the substrate facing the intermediate space, and an alignment film disposed between the electrically conductive film and the intermediate space. The two alignment films respectively have two alignment directions orthogonal to each other. The light-adjusting layer includes liquid crystal molecules and salt-in ions. When the two electrically conductive films apply a voltage to the light-adjusting layer, the liquid crystal molecules are in a discontinuous and chaotic arrangement and cause an incident light to scatter in the light-adjusting layer.
