[0053] A reflector is an optical element with a smooth surface and the ability to reflect light. It is a very important item in life and science. The most common mirrors used for grooming in life, rearview mirrors used in cars to observe the driving status of vehicles behind, reflecting telescopes, etc. are all reflectors.

[0054] In order to adapt the reflector to more application scenarios, some reflectors can adjust the reflectivity. The reflectivity automatically adjustable reflector is mainly made of organic small molecule composites. Under the action of voltage, the organic small molecules between the transparent conductive layer and the reflective layer undergo electrochemical redox reactions, change the molecular structure, absorb visible light, and thus adjust the reflectivity of the device. At present, the breakdown voltage between the transparent conductive layer and the reflective layer is low, which easily makes the dimming performance of the reflector unstable.

[0058] The first transparent substrate 10 includes a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 disposed back to back along the thickness direction. The first transparent substrate 10 includes at least one of glass, acrylic, and polyvinyl chloride.

It should be noted that there may be an error in the visible light transmittance of the first transparent substrate 10, wherein the visible light transmittance of the first transparent substrate 10 may have an error of 10%. For example, in practical applications, the visible light transmittance of the first transparent substrate 10 may be set to 72% and above. Among them, the present application does not limit the specific thickness of the first transparent substrate 10. The first transparent substrate 10 has a high visible light transmittance, so that most of the incident light can pass through the first transparent substrate 10.

[0059] The second transparent substrate 30 includes a third surface 31 and a fourth surface 32 disposed back to back along the thickness direction. The second transparent substrate 30 includes at least one of glass, acrylic, and polyvinyl chloride, and the visible light transmittance of the second transparent substrate 30 is greater than or equal to 80%.

For example, in practical applications, the visible light transmittance of the second transparent substrate 30 may be set to 72% and above. Among them, the present application does not limit the specific thickness of the second transparent substrate 30.

[0060] The transparent conductive layer 20 is disposed on the second surface 12, and the transparent conductive layer 20 includes at least one of ITO (indium tin oxide), CTO (cadmium tin oxide), ZnO (zinc oxide), and InO (indium oxide). It should be noted that the material of the transparent conductive layer 20 can be any one of ITO, CTO, ZnO, and InO, and the material of the transparent conductive layer 20 can also be a combination of multiple materials of ITO, CTO, ZnO, and InO. The thickness of the transparent conductive layer 20 is 50nm-500nm, wherein the thickness of the transparent conductive layer 20 may have an error of 10%, for example, the actual thickness of the transparent conductive layer 20 may be set to 45nm-550nm. The visible light transmittance of the transparent conductive layer 20 is greater than or equal to 80%, which can facilitate the incident light to pass through the transparent conductive layer 20. Among them, the visible light transmittance of the transparent conductive layer 20 may have an error of 10%. For example, in practical applications, the visible light transmittance of the transparent conductive layer 20 is set to 72% or more. The square resistance of the transparent conductive layer 20 is less than or equal to 30Ω. The square resistance of the transparent conductive layer 20 may have an error of 10%. In practical applications, the square resistance of the transparent conductive layer 20 may be less than or equal to 33Ω.

[0061] The reflective layer 40 is disposed on the third surface 31. It should be noted that the reflective layer 40 disposed on the third surface 31 may be disposed directly on the third surface 31, or may be disposed indirectly on the third surface 31. The reflective layer 40 includes one of silver, silver alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, chromium and chromium alloy, wherein the thickness of the reflective layer 40 may be set to 10nm-500nm, and the thickness of the reflective layer 40 may have a thickness of 10%, for example, the actual thickness of the reflective layer 40 may be set to 9nm-550nm. The reflectivity of the reflective layer 40 is greater than or equal to 70%, specifically, the reflectivity of the reflective layer 40 may have an error of 10%, for example, the actual reflectivity of the reflective layer 40 may be greater than 63%, and the reflective layer 40 can be used to reflect incident light. The higher reflectivity of the reflective layer 40 can reflect most of the incident light irradiated on the reflective layer 40. The square resistance of the reflective layer 40 is less than or equal to 10Ω. The square resistance of the reflective layer 40 may have an error of 10%. In practical applications, the square resistance of the reflective layer 40 may be less than or equal to 11Ω.

[0062] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the reflective layer 40 faces the transparent conductive layer 20, the reflective layer 40 is spaced apart from the transparent conductive layer 20, the transparent conductive layer 20 can be connected to the positive electrode of the power supply, and the reflective layer 40 can be electrically connected to the negative electrode of the power supply. The transparent conductive layer 20 is connected to the positive electrode of the power supply, and the reflective layer 40 is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply, so that an electric field can be formed.

[0063] The sealant 70 is connected between the first transparent substrate 10 and the second transparent substrate 30, and forms a cavity with the transparent conductive layer 20 and the reflective layer 40. The cavity is used to accommodate the dimming composition 50, and the dimming composition is used to adjust the reflectivity of the incident light.

[0064] The sealant 70 includes glue and filling particles. The glue may be a thermosetting glue. The sealant 70 may also be a light-curing or thermosetting glue. Specifically, the glue includes but is not limited to phenolic, epoxy, polyaminophenol, unsaturated polyester, heterocyclic polymer, unsaturated polyester, polyacid acrylate, epoxy acrylate, and polyurethane acrylate. The dielectric constant of the glue may be 2-4.

[0065] The dielectric constant of the filling particles is greater than or equal to 20, which can increase the breakdown voltage of the electric field formed by the reflective layer 40 and the transparent conductive layer 20, thereby increasing the electrochemical stability of the dimming composition under the action of the electric field, further increasing the reflection reliability of the reflective device, and extending the service life of the reflective device. It should be noted that the dielectric constant of the filling particles may have an error of 10%, and the actual dielectric constant of the filling particles may be 18 or above.

[0066] The dielectric constant of the filling particles can be 25-150, and the material of the filling particles can be one of lead titanate, barium titanate, lanthanum titanate, titanium oxide and zirconium oxide. The material of the filling particles can also be a combination of multiple ones of lead titanate, barium titanate, lanthanum titanate, titanium oxide and zirconium oxide.

[0067] In some embodiments, the sealing colloid is doped with filling particles with different dielectric constants, and the voltage resistance between the transparent conductive layer and the reflective layer in the reflective device is different, as shown in the table below. In the table, when the sealing colloid is doped with filling particles with a dielectric constant of 26, a voltage of 7V is required between the transparent conductive layer and the reflective layer to break down. When the sealing colloid is doped with filling particles with a dielectric constant of 50, a voltage of 12V is required between the transparent conductive layer and the reflective layer to break down. When the sealing colloid is doped with filling particles with a dielectric constant of 1.56, only a voltage of 3V is required between the transparent conductive layer and the reflective layer to break down.

[0068] Dielectric constant of filler particles Withstand voltage performance Example 1 26 7V breakdown failure Example 2 50 12V breakdown failure Comparative Example 1 1.56 3V breakdown failure

[0069] The shape of the filling particles can be any one of a cuboid, a cube, a sphere, and a cylinder. In the sealant 70, the shapes of the filling particles can be the same, and filling particles of different shapes can also exist simultaneously in the sealant 70. Fillers with regular shapes and uniform sizes can be used as supports to effectively ensure uniform thickness of the sealant, thereby ensuring uniform gaps between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate, ensuring stable and uniform electric fields of the positive and negative plates of the device, and uniform and stable reflectivity.

[0070] In the embodiment provided in the present application, when the filling particles are spheres, the size of the filling particles is 30 μm-300 μm, and the filling particles disposed in the glue are uniform in size, which can make the sealing colloid 70 as a whole tend to be flat, thereby improving the stability of the sealing colloid 70 connecting the first transparent substrate 10 and the second transparent substrate 30.

[0071] In the embodiment provided in the present application, in a possible implementation, the transparent conductive layer 20 completely covers the second surface 12, the transition layer 60 completely covers the third surface 31, the reflective layer 40 completely covers the transition layer 60, and the sealant 70 is connected between the transparent conductive layer 20 and the reflective layer 40 to enclose a cavity.

[0072] In the examples provided in this application, see Figure 3The surface of the transparent conductive layer 20 facing the first transparent substrate includes a contact area 21 in contact with the second surface and a recessed area 22 recessed in a direction away from the second surface 12, the recessed area 22 surrounds the contact area 21, the recessed area 22 is spaced from the second surface 12, and a decorative layer 80 is disposed between the recessed area 22 and the second surface 12, and the reflectivity of the decorative layer 80 is greater than or equal to 50%. The reflectivity of the decorative layer 80 is greater than or equal to 50%. Among them, the reflectivity of the decorative layer 80 may have an error of 10%. In practical applications, the reflectivity of the decorative layer 80 may be greater than or equal to 45%. The decorative layer 80 can improve the overall aesthetics of the reflective device on the one hand, and on the other hand, the decorative layer 80 can reduce the light incident on the dimming composition 50 from escaping from the sealant 70.

[0073] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the sealant 70 includes a first sealant 71 and a second sealant 72 , and the first sealant 71 and the second sealant 72 are combined to form the sealant 70 .

[0074] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the dimming composition 50 is in contact with the transparent conductive layer 20 and the reflective layer 40. In other words, if the first transparent substrate 10 and the second transparent substrate 30 are arranged up and down, the dimming composition 50 is arranged on the third surface 31 of the second transparent substrate 30. The dimming composition 50 can support the first transparent substrate 10, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the reflective device.

[0075] The dimming composition 50 has a cathode active material and an anode active material. Under the action of an electric field, the dimming composition 50 can undergo an electrochemical redox reaction, causing the molecular structure in the dimming composition 50 to change, thereby increasing the absorption of incident light by the dimming composition 50 and reducing the reflectivity of the reflective device. For example, under the action of an electric field, the dimming composition 50 can change the absorption of incident light. If the dimming composition 50 increases its ability to absorb light under the action of an electric field, the reflectivity of the reflective device can be reduced from more than 60% to less than 15%. It should be noted that when specifically adjusting the reflectivity of the reflective device, the reflectivity of the reflective device can be controlled by adjusting the electric field strength.

[0076] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the reflective device further includes a transition layer 60, which is disposed between the reflective layer 40 and the third surface 31, and the transition layer 60 includes at least one of SiO (silicon monoxide), TiO (indium tin oxide), Nb2O5 (niobium pentoxide), and Al2O3 (aluminum trioxide). It should be noted that the second transparent substrate 30 includes one of glass, acrylic, and polyvinyl chloride, and the reflective layer 40 includes one of silver, silver alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, chromium, and chromium alloy. If the reflective layer 40 is directly disposed on the second transparent substrate 30, it is easy to make the connection between the reflective layer 40 and the second transparent substrate 30 unstable. The transition layer 60 includes at least one of SiO, TiO, Nb2O5, and Al2O3. The transition layer 60 can be well attached to the second transparent substrate 30, and the reflective layer 40 can also be well attached to the transition layer 60. By arranging the transition layer 60 on the third surface 31 of the second transparent substrate 30 and then arranging the reflective layer 40 on the transition layer 60, the reflective layer 40 can be more stably arranged on the second transparent substrate 30. The thickness of the transition layer 60 can be 1nm-300nm. In the process of forming the transition layer 60, an error of 10% is allowed. The thickness of the transition layer 60 can be 0.9nm-330nm.

[0077] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the reflective device further includes a first electrode sheet 90 and a second electrode sheet 100, the first electrode sheet 90 is electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer 20, and the second electrode sheet 100 is electrically connected to the reflective layer 40. The first electrode sheet 90 and the second electrode sheet 100 are arranged on the reflective device, so that the reflective device can be conveniently electrically connected to an external power supply. Specifically, the first electrode sheet 90 is connected to the positive electrode of the external power supply, and the second electrode sheet 100 is connected to the negative electrode of the external power supply, so that the transparent conductive layer 20 and the reflective layer 40 form an electric field.
