The electrochromic layer 63 is a material with electrochromic effect, which can be an inorganic all-solid electrochromic material, an organic electrochromic material or a hybrid electrochromic material, etc. Its function is to change its color and light transmittance under the action of voltage. The electrochromic layer 63 is attached to the electrode film 62 to form a color-changing unit, and this color-changing unit can be made into different shapes and sizes according to needs to adapt to different application scenarios. The principle is: when a certain voltage is applied to the electrode film 62, an electrochemical reaction occurs in the electrochromic layer 63, resulting in changes in its color and light transmittance, thereby realizing the color-changing effect of the glass. When the voltage of the electrode film 62 is disconnected, the electrochromic layer 63 returns to its original state, thereby realizing the transparent effect of the glass. By controlling the magnitude and direction of the voltage of the electrode film 62, stepless adjustment of the color and light transmittance of the glass can be achieved, so as to meet different lighting and privacy requirements.

[0026] As a preferred example, there are two glass plates 61, and electrode films 62 are attached to the opposite inner surfaces of each glass plate 61. The electrochromic layer 63 is arranged between the two glass plates 61 and is attached to the electrode film 62.

At the same time, it can also save electric energy, improve efficiency, and reduce manual intervention.

[0032] As a preferred example, the cloud 4 includes a cloud 4 database for receiving the light information uploaded by the processor 3 and returning the color adjustment configuration information completed through big data algorithms to the processor 3.
