Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0027] in,Figure 1 The reference orientation of the embodiments of this utility model is given below, in conjunction with Figure 1 The embodiments of this utility model will be described in the directions shown.

[0028] See Figure 1 This utility model provides an automotive glass structure, including a light-transmitting glass layer 100, a light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200, an electrochromic film layer 300, and a light-transmitting display layer 400. The light-transmitting glass layer 100, the light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200, the electrochromic film layer 300, and the light-transmitting display layer 400 are stacked sequentially from the outside to the inside along the thickness direction of the automotive glass structure. The light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200 can be a thin-film solar cell, used to convert light energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect. The electrochromic film layer 300 can be a PDLC liquid crystal electro-controlled dimming film, which can switch between transparent and opaque states by adjusting the voltage; for example, transparent when powered on and frosted when powered off. The light-transmitting display layer 400 provides the user with screen display content.

[0029] In this invention, the automotive glass structure can be used as the windshield, window glass, sunroof, and rear windshield of a car. Besides the light-transmitting glass layer 100, the automotive glass structure also includes a light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200, an electrochromic film layer 300, and a light-transmitting display layer 400. The light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200 generates electricity to supply the car's low-voltage system, supplementing the car's energy. The electrochromic film layer 300 can be rapidly switched between transparent and opaque or vice versa by applying voltage, thus meeting the different light transmittance requirements of automotive glass structures. The light-transmitting display layer 400 provides a screen display effect for users, allowing for entertainment and leisure. This invention expands the functional scope of automotive glass structures and better meets people's personalized needs for automotive use.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200 includes a silver-plated layer 201, a conductive electrode layer 202, an electron transport layer 203, a perovskite light-absorbing layer 204, and a hole transport layer 205, stacked sequentially from the outside to the inside along the thickness direction of the automotive glass structure. The silver-plated layer 201 selectively transmits visible light and has excellent infrared reflectivity, blocking a large amount of light energy from entering the vehicle. It also serves as the metal electrode of the perovskite light-absorbing layer 204, collecting holes (or electrons) to form external circuit current. The conductive electrode layer 202 transmits light and collects electrons (or holes), while also serving as a substrate support. The electron transport layer 203 is used for directional electron / hole transport, preventing recombination. The perovskite light-absorbing layer 204 acts as a light-absorbing layer, absorbing visible light and generating charge carriers. The hole transport layer 205 efficiently extracts and transports photogenerated holes from the perovskite light-absorbing layer 204. When sunlight shines on the translucent photovoltaic panel layer 200, photons are absorbed by the photosensitive material layer and excited into electrons. These electrons are collected through the electron transport layer 203 and transmitted to the external circuit to form an electric current. At the same time, holes are collected through the hole transport layer 205 and transmitted to the metal electrode to form a circuit with the electrons, completing the photoelectric conversion process.

[0031] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The adjacent layers of the silver plating layer 201, conductive electrode layer 202, electron transport layer 203, perovskite light-absorbing layer 204, and hole transport layer 205 are bonded together with a PVB adhesive layer. This allows the silver plating layer 201, conductive electrode layer 202, electron transport layer 203, perovskite light-absorbing layer 204, and hole transport layer 205 to form an integral structure.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The adjacent layers of the light-transmitting glass layer 100, the light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200, the electrochromic film layer 300, and the light-transmitting display layer 400 are bonded together with a PVB adhesive layer. This allows the light-transmitting glass layer 100, the light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200, the electrochromic film layer 300, and the light-transmitting display layer 400 to form an integral structure.

[0033] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting display layer 400 includes a light-transmitting OLED screen. When no content is displayed, light can pass through the OLED screen. When content needs to be displayed through the light-transmitting display layer 400, the light-transmitting OLED screen can display images or text information according to input signals, thereby providing users with display effects for locations such as the roof and windows, and allowing users to use it for entertainment, leisure, or driving information display. To enhance the display effect of the light-transmitting display layer 400, the back-side electrochromic film layer 300 can be used to block the light from the back side, thereby obtaining a better display effect.

[0034] See Figure 2This utility model also provides an automotive sunroof, including the automotive glass structure of any of the above embodiments. In this embodiment, the automotive sunroof can control the transmittance of sunlight through the electrochromic film layer 300, thereby ensuring human comfort; simultaneously, the transparent OLED layer provides a rooftop display effect for users, allowing for entertainment and leisure.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The automotive sunroof also includes a body sunroof support structure 500 and an adhesive strip 600. The body sunroof support structure 500 includes an outer frame disposed along the outer periphery of the automotive glass structure. The outer frame has a bottom support surface 501 and an outer peripheral support surface 502 extending obliquely from the outer edge of the bottom support surface 501 to the top outer side. The outer frame forms a recessed space 503 through the bottom support surface 501 and the outer peripheral support surface 502. The outer peripheral edge of the automotive glass structure is provided with an adhesive strip 600, which is fitted into the recessed space 503. In this embodiment, the automotive glass structure is embedded in the recessed space 503 of the body sunroof support structure 500 by the adhesive strip 600, avoiding protrusion from the vehicle body structure, thereby improving the operational stability of multiple functional layers of the automotive glass structure, such as the light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200, the electrochromic film layer 300, and the light-transmitting display layer 400.

[0036] Furthermore, in some embodiments, see Figure 3 The adhesive strip 600 has a lateral U-shaped groove 601 extending along its length. The edge of the automotive glass structure is fitted into the lateral U-shaped groove 601, and the automotive glass structure is sealed to the two side walls of the lateral U-shaped groove 601 by adhesive. In this embodiment, the lateral U-shaped groove 601 of the adhesive strip 600 can effectively improve the waterproof performance of the edge of the automotive glass structure and enhance the operational stability of multiple functional layers of the automotive glass structure, such as the light-transmitting photovoltaic panel layer 200, the electrochromic film layer 300, and the light-transmitting display layer 400.

[0037] Furthermore, in some embodiments, see Figure 3 The rubber strip 600 has multiple first sealing lips 602 that mate with the bottom support surface 501, and multiple second sealing lips 603 that mate with the outer peripheral support surface 502. The multiple sealing lips that mate with the bottom support surface 501 and the outer peripheral support surface 502 respectively can fully guarantee the waterproof performance.

[0038] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a car, including the car sunroof of any of the above embodiments.
