Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic table cards, in particular to an electronic table card based on an organic photovoltaic cell. Background Art
[0002] Conventional table cards are often printed on paper or acrylic, and are only used to display names and identify attendees. These cards are often made on the fly, often using printing, color printing, or engraving methods. They have a relatively simple appearance and are disposable after use. This wastes significant manpower and resources for large numbers of attendees, is environmentally unfriendly, and has a high breakage rate. Changes to the displayed content require reprinting, lacking flexibility and timeliness.
[0003] Currently, electronic tabletop displays are typically powered by traditional batteries, which need to be replaced after a few months to over a year. This wastes resources and pollutes the environment, while also increasing labor costs. Electronic tabletop displays are primarily used indoors in low-light environments. Photovoltaic cells convert indoor sunlight into electricity, providing a sustainable energy source. Traditional crystalline silicon cells have advantages in outdoor power generation and are widely used, but their photovoltaic efficiency is low under indoor lighting conditions, making them inadequate for use in electronic tabletop displays. Among newer photovoltaic cells, perovskite photovoltaic cells offer high indoor light conversion efficiency, but they contain soluble heavy metal lead, posing safety concerns for users in indoor environments. In contrast, organic photovoltaic cells offer high photovoltaic efficiency and excellent stability under indoor light. Furthermore, the cells themselves contain no highly toxic substances, posing minimal risks to the environment and users. Therefore, organic photovoltaic cells offer a promising approach to developing a new, green, and high-performance electronic tabletop display. Utility Model Content
