[0038] As described in the background section, conventional calculators require batteries to function, and since conventional batteries have limited capacity and short lifespans, they need to be replaced frequently, which affects the calculator's usability.

[0039] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a calculator with photovoltaic power generation, which is applied to a calculator.

[0040] For details, please refer to Figures 1-9 As shown, the calculator with photovoltaic power generation specifically includes a liquid crystal display assembly. The liquid crystal display assembly includes an upper glass substrate 1 and a lower glass substrate 2 that are bonded together. A liquid crystal layer is sealed and filled between the upper glass substrate 1 and the lower glass substrate 2.

[0044] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0046] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1-9 As shown, a calculator with photovoltaic power generation includes a liquid crystal display assembly. The liquid crystal display assembly includes an upper glass substrate 1 and a lower glass substrate 2 that are bonded together. A liquid crystal layer is sealed and filled between the upper glass substrate 1 and the lower glass substrate 2. The liquid crystal display assembly has a plurality of equidistantly distributed pixels 11. Adjacent pixels 11 are separated by pixel gaps 12. A photovoltaic layer 3 is provided on the upper glass substrate 1, and the photovoltaic layer 3 is disposed within the pixel gaps 12, avoiding the pixels 11.

[0049] The liquid crystal display component is bonded to an LCD FPC4, and the photovoltaic layer 3 is bonded to and connected to the LCD FPC4 through positive and negative electrodes;

[0050] In this embodiment, a photovoltaic layer 3 is set on a conventional liquid crystal display component. The photovoltaic layer 3 can collect natural light from the outside and convert it into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery 54. In this way, the battery 54 is continuously replenished in the light usage scenario, so as to improve the overall battery life.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] The calculator with photovoltaic power generation provided in Embodiment 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the LCD FPC4 includes an LCD connection unit 41 and a photovoltaic connection unit 42, which are integrally formed to form the LCD FPC4.

[0053] The LCD FPC4 has a display drive signal binding terminal 43 at one end and a binding terminal 44 at the other end that is bound to an external motherboard. The LCD FPC4 is bound to the liquid crystal display component through the display drive signal binding terminal 43 and the binding terminal 44 is connected to the external motherboard.

[0054] One end of the photovoltaic connection unit 42 has a positive and negative electrode bonding end 45, and the other end is integrally connected to the LCD FPC4.

[0055] The photovoltaic connection unit 42 is connected to the positive and negative electrode interfaces of the photovoltaic layer 3 through the positive and negative electrode bonding end 45;

[0056] The lower glass substrate 2 extends out of the upper glass substrate 1 and forms a single-layer region 21, and the display screen drive signal binding terminal 43 is bound to the single-layer region 21.

[0057] In this embodiment, the LCD FPC4 is divided into two parts: an LCD connection unit 41 and a photovoltaic connection unit 42. In this embodiment, only the names are used to distinguish the different areas of the LCD FPC4. In actual design, the main traces of the liquid crystal display component in the LCD FPC4 are set in the LCD connection unit 41, while the traces of the photovoltaic layer 3 are mainly concentrated in the photovoltaic connection unit 42 and guided to the bonding end 44 through the edge of the LCD connection unit 41. In this way, when the bonding end 44 is finally connected to the external motherboard, the connection between the liquid crystal display component and the photovoltaic layer 3 can be realized simultaneously.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] The calculator with photovoltaic power generation provided in Embodiment 1 or 2 is further optimized, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the width of a single line in the photovoltaic layer 3 is smaller than the width of the pixel gap 12;

[0060] Since pixel gaps 12 are formed between pixels 11, in this embodiment, the photovoltaic layer 3 is only placed within the pixel gaps 12 and avoids the corresponding pixel positions 11. This way, when the photovoltaic layer 3 performs actual light energy collection, it will not affect the display effect of the liquid crystal display component itself.

[0061] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic layer 3 is specifically deposited on the upper glass substrate 1, and is set in correspondence with the pixel gap 12 in the liquid crystal display component, rather than being directly disposed inside the pixel gap 12.

[0062] The width of a single line in the photovoltaic layer 3 is 0.015 mm. The width cannot be larger than that, otherwise the lines will be easily visible to the human eye and affect the senses. The specific width of a single photovoltaic line should be adjusted adaptively according to the actual size of the liquid crystal display component and the size of the pixel gap 12. In this embodiment, the width of a single photovoltaic line is not limited to a single value.

[0063] The photovoltaic layer 3 in this embodiment comprises a transparent front electrode, an amorphous silicon layer, a metal layer, and a protective layer. The transparent front electrode, the amorphous silicon layer, the metal layer, and the protective layer are sequentially formed on the upper glass substrate 1 to obtain the transparent photovoltaic layer 3. Since the actual working principle and layered structure of the photovoltaic layer 3 are well known to those skilled in the art, no further explanation is needed in this embodiment.

[0064] Example 4

[0065] The calculator with photovoltaic power generation provided in Example 3 has been further optimized, such as... Figure 2 The photovoltaic layer 3 and the lower glass substrate 2 shown are respectively attached to the outer sides of the upper polarizer 31 and the lower polarizer 22;

[0066] The liquid crystal display component is embedded in the calculator housing 5, with the display end face exposed to the outside;

[0067] The calculator housing 5 is also equipped with a keypad 51, a control board 52, an energy harvesting chip 53 and a battery 54. The keypad 51, the energy harvesting chip 53 and the battery 54 are all electrically connected to the control board 52.

[0068] The keypad 51 is a conventional calculator with operation buttons for inputting values ​​and formulas to be calculated. The control board 52 is used to calculate the values ​​on the keypad 51 and feed them back to the LCD display for display. In this embodiment, the control board 52 is also connected to the photovoltaic layer 3. After the photovoltaic layer 3 collects external solar energy, it is input into the energy harvesting chip 53 through the LCDFPC4. The energy is then converted by the energy harvesting chip 53 and stored in the battery 54. The control board 52 can drive the energy harvesting chip 53 and monitor the charging and discharging of the battery 54.

[0069] The photovoltaic layer 3 is electrically connected to the energy harvesting chip 53 via the LCD FPC4. The energy harvested by the photovoltaic layer 3 is converted and stored in the battery 54 by the energy harvesting chip 53.
