[0078] The following describes the implementation of this disclosure through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the content disclosed in this specification. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified and changed in various ways for different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure.
[0079] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified herein, the presence of an element "a" is not limited to having a single element, but may include one or more of the elements. Furthermore, the ordinal numbers used in the specification and claims, such as "first" and "second," to modify elements of a claim, do not in themselves imply or represent any prior ordinal number for that claimed element, nor do they represent the order of one claimed element with another, or the order of manufacture. The use of these ordinal numbers is solely to clearly distinguish one claimed element with a given name from another claimed element with the same name.
[0080] Throughout this disclosure and in the appended claims, certain terms are used to refer to specific elements. Those skilled in the art will understand that electronic device manufacturers may use different names to refer to the same element. This document is not intended to distinguish between elements that have the same function but different names. In the following description and claims, words such as “comprising,” “containing,” and “having” are open-ended terms and should therefore be interpreted as “containing but not limited to…”. Thus, when the terms “comprising,” “containing,” and / or “having” are used in the description of this disclosure, they specify the presence of the corresponding feature, area, step, operation, and / or component, but do not exclude the presence of one or more of the corresponding feature, area, step, operation, and / or component.
[0081] In this text, the terms "about," "approximately," "substantially," and "roughly" typically indicate within 10%, 5%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or 0.5% of a given value or range. The given quantity is an approximate quantity; that is, even without specific mention of "about," "approximately," "substantially," or "roughly," the meaning of these terms is implied. Furthermore, the phrases "range from the first value to the second value" or "range between the first value and the second value" indicate that the range includes the first value, the second value, and other values in between.
[0082] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. It is understood that these terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the relevant art and the background or context of this disclosure, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal manner, unless specifically defined herein.
[0083] Furthermore, relative terms such as "below" or "bottom" and "above" or "top" may be used in the embodiments to describe the relative relationship of one element to another in the diagram. It is understood that if the device in the diagram is flipped upside down, an element depicted on the "below" side will become an element on the "above" side. When a corresponding component (e.g., a membrane or region) is referred to as "on another component," it can be directly on the other component, or there may be other components between them. On the other hand, when a component is referred to as "directly on another component," there are no components between them. Additionally, when a component is referred to as "on another component," there is a vertical relationship between them in the top view, and this component can be above or below the other component, depending on the orientation of the device.
[0084] It should be understood that, according to embodiments of this disclosure, the thickness, width, or distance between elements can be measured using an optical microscope (OM), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an alpha-step thickness gauge, an ellipsometry, or other suitable methods. According to some embodiments, a scanning electron microscope can be used to obtain a cross-sectional image containing the elements to be measured, and the thickness, width, or distance between elements can be measured. Furthermore, any two values or directions used for comparison may have a certain degree of error. If the first value equals the second value, it implies an error of approximately 10% between the first and second values; if the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the angle between the first and second directions may be between 80 and 100 degrees; if the first direction is parallel to the second direction, the angle between the first and second directions may be between 0 and 10 degrees.
[0085] In this disclosure, the electronic device may include, but is not limited to, a display device, a backlight device, an antenna device, a sensing device, or a splicing device. The electronic device may be a bendable or flexible electronic device. The display device may be a non-emissive display device or a self-emissive display device. The antenna device may be a liquid crystal type antenna device or a non-liquid crystal type antenna device. The sensing device may be a sensing device that senses capacitance, light, heat, or ultrasound, but is not limited to these. Electronic components may include passive and active components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, diodes, transistors, etc. Diodes may include light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or photodiodes. Light-emitting diodes may include, for example, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), mini LEDs, micro LEDs, or quantum dot LEDs, but are not limited to these. The splicing device may be, for example, a display splicing device or an antenna splicing device, but is not limited to these. It should be noted that the electronic device may be any arrangement and combination of the foregoing, but is not limited to these. The following description will use display devices as electronic devices or splicing devices to illustrate the contents of this disclosure, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0088] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a functional block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0089] In one embodiment of this disclosure, as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device may include: a first substrate 1; a second substrate 2 disposed opposite to the first substrate 1; a light modulation layer 3 disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2; a photoelectric conversion element 4 disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2; and a driving circuit C disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, wherein the driving circuit C is electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion element 4.
[0090] In one embodiment of this disclosure, as Figure 1As shown, the electronic device may further include: a first electrode layer 51 disposed between the first substrate 1 and the light modulation layer 3; and a second electrode layer 52 disposed between the second substrate 2 and the light modulation layer 3; wherein the driving circuit C is electrically connected to the first electrode layer 51 and the second electrode layer 52 respectively. In this disclosure, by applying signals to the first electrode layer 51 and the second electrode layer 52 to control the light modulation layer 3, the light modulation layer 3 can switch between a light-blocking state and a light-transmitting state, enabling the electronic device to achieve a light-blocking or light-transmitting effect.

In one embodiment of this disclosure, the electronic device can be applied to a smart window, which can be selectively applied to architectural glass, vehicle window glass, or other applications. In addition to having adjustable light capabilities, this smart window may also have heat insulation and / or sound insulation capabilities, depending on its structural design.
[0091] This disclosure utilizes a photoelectric conversion element 4 (e.g., a solar cell) to receive light and convert it into electrical energy to supply a driving circuit C. The driving circuit C can provide signals to the first electrode layer 51 and the second electrode layer 52 respectively, and generate an electric field by applying a signal (voltage) between the first electrode layer 51 and the second electrode layer 52 to drive the light modulation layer 3. By using the photoelectric conversion element 4, the electronic device can generate electrical energy to control the light modulation layer 3 without the need for an external power source, thereby achieving power saving. Furthermore, when the photoelectric conversion element 4 is disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, the influence of other external environmental factors (e.g., moisture, air) on the photoelectric conversion element 4 can be reduced, thus improving the lifespan of the photoelectric conversion element 4.

The second metal layer 13 may further include a metal portion 13E, which can be electrically connected to the driving circuit C through line WL1 (the two are electrically connected by dashed lines in the figure); and a second insulating layer 103 is disposed on the second metal layer 13.
[0093] A first semiconductor 11A, a gate insulating layer 101, a first gate 12A, a first insulating layer 102, a first source 13A, and a first drain 13B can form a first thin-film transistor (TFT) 1. A second semiconductor 11B, a gate insulating layer 101, a second gate 12B, a first insulating layer 102, a second source 13C, and a second drain 13D can form a second thin-film transistor (TFT) 2. The first TFT 1 can be electrically connected to the second TFT 2, and the first TFT 1 and the second TFT 2 form a driving circuit C, which can contain multiple transistors. It should be noted that the structures of the first TFT 1 and the second TFT 2 in the figure are only examples and can be adjusted to other stacked structures (e.g., dual-gate or bottom-gate transistors) or include more transistors as needed.
[0094] In one embodiment of this disclosure, as Figure 1As shown, the electronic device may further include: a third metal layer 14 disposed on the second insulating layer 103, and including a first portion 14A, a second portion 14B, a third portion 14C, and a fourth portion 14D, wherein the first portion 14A is electrically connected to the first source 13A through a through-hole H1, the second portion 14B is electrically connected to the first source 13A through a through-hole H2, the third portion 14C is electrically connected to the second drain 13D through a through-hole H3, and the fourth portion 14D is electrically connected to the metal portion 13E of the second metal layer 13 through a through-hole H4, wherein the photoelectric conversion element 4 is disposed on and electrically connected to the third portion 14C of the third metal layer 14; and a conductive layer 15 is disposed on and electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion element 4.

More specifically, the signal transmission line 16B is electrically connected to the second portion 14B of the third metal layer 14 through through-hole H6, and the signal transmission line 16B is electrically connected to the conductive layer 15 through through-hole H7; and a passivation layer 105 is disposed on the third insulating layer 104 and the fourth metal layer 16. The second electrode layer 52 is disposed on the second substrate 2, and the light modulation layer 3 is disposed between the first electrode layer 51 and the second electrode layer 52. The light modulation layer 3 can be controlled by applying signals to the first electrode layer 51 and the second electrode layer 52, causing the light modulation layer 3 to switch between a light-blocking state and a light-transmitting state. In one embodiment of this disclosure, as... Figure 1 As shown, the conductive layer 15 and the first electrode layer 51 can be selectively the same conductive layer, that is, the conductive layer 15 and the first electrode layer 51 can be formed, for example, using the same photolithography process. This can simplify the process steps, but is not limited to this.
[0096] In this disclosure, the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 may be flexible substrates or rigid substrates, respectively. The materials of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 may include glass, quartz, sapphire, ceramic, plastic, polycarbonate (PC), polyimide (PI), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), other suitable materials, or combinations thereof, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. In this disclosure, the materials of the first semiconductor 11A and the second semiconductor 11B may each comprise amorphous silicon, polycrystalline silicon (e.g., low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS)), or oxide semiconductors (e.g., indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) or indium gallium oxide (IGO)), but this disclosure is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the first semiconductor and 11A and the second semiconductor 11B may each comprise doped carriers, such as N-type carriers or P-type carriers. In one embodiment of this disclosure, the doping carriers of the first semiconductor 11A may be different from those of the second semiconductor 11B. For example, the first semiconductor 11A may contain N-type carriers to form a doped N-semiconductor, while the second semiconductor 11B may contain P-type carriers to form a doped P-semiconductor, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments (not shown), the first semiconductor 11A may contain P-type carriers to form a doped P-semiconductor, while the second semiconductor 11B may contain N-type carriers to form a doped N-semiconductor, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. In this disclosure, the gate insulating layer 101, the first insulating layer 102, the second insulating layer 103, the third insulating layer 104, and the passivation layer 105 may each contain a single-layer or multi-layer insulating layer structure, and the materials of the gate insulating layer 101, the first insulating layer 102, the second insulating layer 103, the third insulating layer 104, and the passivation layer 105 may each contain silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbonitride, aluminum oxide, or combinations thereof, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. In this disclosure, the first metal layer 12, the second metal layer 13, the third metal layer 14 and the fourth metal layer 16 may each comprise a metallic material, a metal oxide material, an alloy thereof or a combination thereof, such as gold, silver, copper, palladium, platinum, ruthenium, aluminum, cobalt, nickel, titanium, molybdenum, manganese, indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium tin oxide (ITO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), or aluminum zinc oxide (AZO), but this disclosure is not limited thereto.In this disclosure, the materials of the first electrode layer 51 and the second electrode layer 52 may each comprise a transparent conductive material, such as indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium tin oxide (ITO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), aluminum zinc oxide (AZO), or combinations thereof, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. In this disclosure, the light-modulating layer 3 comprises a liquid crystal material or an electrochromic material. Suitable liquid crystal materials may include, for example, polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC), cholesteric texture liquid crystal, twisted nematic liquid crystal (TN LC), super twisted nematic liquid crystal (STN LC), other suitable liquid crystal materials, or combinations thereof, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. In this disclosure, the photoelectric conversion element 4 may comprise an amorphous silicon PIN solar diode, a copper indium gallium selenide solar cell, a perovskite solar cell, or combinations thereof, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0097] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the photoelectric conversion element 4 can absorb light source L to convert light energy into electrical energy. Therefore, the elements or layers between the photoelectric conversion element 4 and the light source L are preferably made of transparent materials to improve light conversion efficiency. In this disclosure, the material of the conductive layer 15 may include indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium tin oxide (ITO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), aluminum zinc oxide (AZO), or combinations thereof, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0098] In this disclosure, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the photoelectric element 4, for example, can absorb at least a portion of the light source L and convert it into an electrical signal. This signal can then be output to the driving circuit C via the third portion 14C of the third metal layer 14 and the signal transmission line 16B of the fourth metal layer 16. The driving circuit C converts the DC signal into an AC signal and transmits the AC signal to at least one of the first electrode layer 51 or the second electrode layer 52, thereby controlling the light modulation layer 3, but is not limited thereto. Compared to controlling the light modulation layer 3 with a DC signal, controlling it with an AC signal can reduce the degradation of the liquid crystal material in the light modulation layer 3 and improve the lifespan of the electronic device.
[0099] In one embodiment of this disclosure, as Figure 1As shown, the electronic device may further include: a buffer layer 10 disposed on the first substrate 1, wherein the driving circuit C is disposed on the buffer layer 10. In this disclosure, the material of the buffer layer 10 may include silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbonitride, or combinations thereof, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0100] In one embodiment of this disclosure, as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device may further include: a conductive structure 6 disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, wherein a driving circuit C is disposed between the first substrate 1 and the light modulation layer 3, and the driving circuit C is electrically connected to the second electrode layer 52 via the conductive structure 6. More specifically, the driving circuit C is electrically connected to the conductive structure 6, for example, via a first portion 14A of the third metal layer 14 and / or a fifth portion 16A of the fourth metal layer 16, to transmit signals from the driving circuit C to the second electrode layer 52. In this disclosure, the conductive structure 6 may include solder bumps, conductive pillars (metal pillars), or conductive particles, or combinations thereof. The conductive structure 6 may contain silver, aluminum, nickel, chromium, copper, gold, palladium, platinum, tin, tungsten, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, magnesium, zinc, their alloys, or combinations thereof, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the conductive structure 6 may be formed using conductive paste (e.g., silver paste) or anisotropic conductive film (ACF), but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0101] In one embodiment of this disclosure, as Figure 1As shown, the electronic device may further include a first spacer S1 disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, wherein the first spacer S1 overlaps with the driving circuit C in the top view Z direction of the first substrate 1. In some embodiments, the projection of the first spacer S1 onto the first substrate 1 in the top view Z direction of the first substrate 1 may be located within the projection of the driving circuit C onto the first substrate 1. In other words, the projected area of the first spacer S1 on the first substrate 1 may be smaller than the projected area of the driving circuit C on the first substrate 1. The first spacer S1 can be used to maintain the thickness of the light modulation layer 3, reducing the damage to components inside the electronic device or affecting the dimming uniformity of the light modulation layer 3 in different areas when the electronic device is subjected to external pressure. The first spacer S1 may affect the optical performance of the light modulation layer 3 adjacent to it, thus affecting the transmittance of the electronic device. Therefore, when the first spacer S1 is designed to overlap with the driving circuit C, since the light modulation layer 3 in the area overlapping with the driving circuit C is already a non-optically adjustable region, the above design can reduce the possibility of the first spacer S1 affecting the optically adjustable region (aperture ratio). In addition, the first spacer S1 may interfere with the photoelectric conversion element 4 receiving the light source L. When the first spacer S1 is designed to overlap with the driving circuit C, the influence of the first spacer S1 on the photoelectric conversion element 4 receiving the light source L can be reduced, improving the performance of the photoelectric conversion element 4. In this disclosure, the material of the first spacer S1 may include resin, organic materials, other suitable materials, or combinations thereof, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. In this disclosure, the cross-sectional shape of the first spacer S1 is not particularly limited. For example, it may be a cylinder, a rectangular prism, a trapezoidal prism, a triangular prism, a cone, a triangular pyramid, or other irregular prisms, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0102] In one embodiment of this disclosure, as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device may further include: a second spacer S2 disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, with the signal transmission line 16B electrically connected to one end of the photoelectric converter 4. In the top view Z direction of the first substrate 1, the second spacer S2 overlaps with the signal transmission line 16B. Furthermore, the second spacer S2 may affect the optical performance of the light modulation layer 3 adjacent to the second spacer S2. Therefore, when the second spacer S2 is designed to overlap with the signal transmission line 16B, since the area of the light modulation layer 3 overlapping with the signal transmission line 16B is already a non-optically tunable region, the above design can reduce the possibility of the second spacer S2 affecting the optically tunable region (aperture ratio). Additionally, the second spacer S2 may interfere with the photoelectric converter 4 receiving the light source L. Designing the second spacer S2 to overlap with the signal transmission line 16B can reduce the influence of the second spacer S2 on the photoelectric converter 4 receiving the light source L, thereby improving the performance of the photoelectric converter 4. In this disclosure, the second spacer S2 may be made of the same or different material as the first spacer S1, which will not be elaborated here.
