[0038] Hereinafter, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that can be obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] The term "example" or "embodiment" referred to herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the example or embodiment can be included in at least one example of the present application. Appearances of such words anywhere in the specification do not necessarily refer to the same example, nor do they refer to independent or potential examples that are mutually exclusive with other examples. Those skilled in the art can explicitly or implicitly understand that the examples described herein can be combined with other examples.

[0040] Below, various aspects of the light control component according to the present application are introduced using Examples 1 and 2. Example 1 is based on an earlier application, Chinese Patent Application No. 202111004531.4, and Example 2 is based on an earlier application, Chinese Patent Application No. 202110749492.4. Note that although the components of the light control component in Examples 1 and 2 are numbered differently, they are substantially the same; that is, the features in Example 1 are applicable to Example 2, and similarly, the features in Example 2 are applicable to Embodiment 1. Example 1 (FIGS. 1 to 47)

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, the present application relates to a vehicle. 5 Vehicles 5 The vehicle may be, but is not limited to, a passenger car, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), a sports utility vehicle (SUV), an off-road vehicle (ORV), a pickup truck, a minivan, a bus, a truck, and the like.

[0042] vehicle 5 The vehicle includes a light-transmitting assembly 10 as described in any of the following embodiments. 5 The optical assembly 10 may further include a frame 20. The optical assembly 10 is mounted on the frame 20 directly or indirectly.

[0043] The light transmitting assembly 10 is used to transmit light, ensuring sufficient light inside the vehicle and providing visibility for people inside the vehicle. 5The vehicle may also include a front windshield, a rear windshield, a sunroof, a door window, a rear side window, and the like.

[0044] The light transmittance of the light-transmitting assembly 10 can be varied (thereby causing a change in haze), i.e., the light-transmitting assembly 10 has high light transmittance when powered on and is dim and opaque when powered off. By opaque, it is not meant that light is completely blocked by the light-transmitting assembly 10, but rather that most of the light is blocked by the light-transmitting assembly 10, preventing the interior of the vehicle from being seen from outside and the exterior from being seen from inside the vehicle, and allowing some light to pass through the light-transmitting assembly 10 and enter the interior of the vehicle, preventing the interior from being completely dark.

[0045] 2 , the present application further provides a light-transmitting assembly 10. The light-transmitting assembly 10 includes a light-transmitting member 120 and a light-adjusting member 110 according to any of the following embodiments. The light-adjusting member 110 is placed on the light-transmitting member 120. The light-transmitting member 120 is made of a transparent material, and the material may be, but is not limited to, glass, plastic, etc.

[0046] The light-transmitting member 120 is a transparent first light-transmitting member. 120a and a transparent second light-transmitting member 120b The light adjusting member 110 may include a first light transmitting member. 120a and a second transparent member 120b By being provided between the first light-transmitting member 120a and a second transparent member 120b This allows the light adjusting member 110 to be protected.

[0047] 3, the light-transmitting assembly 10 further includes a first transparent connection layer 130 and a second transparent connection layer 140. 120a is bonded to the light-adjusting member 110 by the first connecting layer 130, and the second light-transmitting member 120b is bonded to the light adjusting component 110 by the second connecting layer 140.

[0048] The shape of the light transmitting assembly 10 may be, but is not limited to, a circle, an oval, a square, a rectangle, etc. 5 The application of the present invention may be limited to the fields of windows, house windows, bathroom partition doors, conference room partition doors, etc.

[0049] Next, the light adjusting member 110 in the light transmitting assembly 10 according to the above embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0050] 4 to 6, the present application further provides a light control component 110. The light control component 110 includes a first electrode 111, a second electrode 112, and a light control film 113. The light control film 113 includes a first substrate 1131a, a first conductive layer 1131b, a light control layer 1133, a second conductive layer 1132b, and a second substrate 1132a, which are stacked in this order. The light control layer 1133, the first conductive layer 1131b, and the second conductive layer 1132b form an accommodation space Z, and the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are provided within the accommodation space Z. The first electrode 111 is attached to the side of the first conductive layer 1131b that faces away from the first substrate 1131a, thereby being electrically connected to the first conductive layer 1131b. The second electrode 112 is attached to the side of the second conductive layer 1132b that faces away from the second base 1132a, and is thereby electrically connected to the second conductive layer 1132b.

[0051] The material of the first substrate 1131a and the material of the second substrate 1132a are preferably polyethylene terephthalate (PET), but may also be a polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyimide (PI), or polyethylene naphthalate (PEN).

[0052] The material of the first conductive layer 1131b and the material of the second conductive layer 1132b are preferably tin-doped indium oxide (also called indium tin oxide, ITO), but may also be fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) or aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), or may be a material formed by further doping these materials with metals such as gold, silver, or copper.

[0053] The light-control layer 1133 may be a light-control material such as a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), an electrochromic (EC), a nano light valve (LV), a suspended particle device (SPD), or a liquid crystal (LC) produced by roll-to-roll.

[0054] Optionally, referring to FIG. 7, the light control member 110 may further include a first insulator 114 for enclosing the first electrode 111. The first insulator 114 has a first opening K1 exposing one side of the first electrode 111. The one side of the first electrode 111 exposed through the first opening K1 is electrically connected to the first conductive layer 1131b. The one side of the first insulator 114 away from the first opening K1 is connected to the second conductive layer 1132b, thereby insulating the first electrode 111 from the second conductive layer 1132b. Referring to FIG. 8, the light control member 110 may further include a second insulator 115 for enclosing the second electrode 112. The second insulator 115 has a second opening K2 exposing one side of the second electrode 112. The one side of the second electrode 112 exposed through the second opening K2 is electrically connected to the second conductive layer 1132b. One side of the second insulating material 115 that is away from the second opening K2 is connected to the first conductive layer 1131b, so that the second electrode 112 and the first conductive layer 1131b are provided insulated from each other.

[0055] The first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are used to connect to a power source. The power source may be a current source or a voltage source. When the light switchable component 110 is powered off, the light switchable layer 1133 is in a first state. In the first state, the light switchable layer 1133 can block most of the light, thereby making the light switchable component 110 opaque. In this state, the haze level of the light switchable component 110 is highest and the haze is relatively large. When the light switchable component 110 is powered on, an electric field is formed between the first conductive layer 1131b and the second conductive layer 1132b. The electric field causes the light switchable layer 1133 to change from the first state to a second state. In the second state, the light switchable layer 1133 can transmit most of the light, thereby making the light switchable component 110 transparent. In this state, the haze level of the light switchable component 110 is lowest and the haze is smallest.

[0056] Optionally, in some embodiments, the strength of the electric field formed between the first conductive layer 1131b and the second conductive layer 1132b can be controlled to place the photochromic layer 1133 in a third state, thereby placing the photochromic component 110 in a state between transparent and opaque. Optionally, the third state includes multiple substates, and the photochromic component 110 includes multiple different haze levels, with each substate corresponding to one haze level. The stronger the electric field, the lower the haze level of the photochromic component 110, i.e., the more transparent the photochromic component 110. This allows the photochromic component 110 to be converted between multiple (four or more) different haze levels, thereby expanding the range of applications for the photochromic component 110.

[0057] The first light-transmitting member of the light-control film 113 120a The orthogonal projections onto the first translucent member 120a and the second light-transmitting member of the light-control film 113 is within the range of 120b The orthogonal projections onto the second translucent member 120b In other words, the length of the light control film 113 is within the range of the first light-transmitting member 120a The length of the second transparent member is equal to or less than the length of the second transparent member. 120b The width of the light control film 113 is equal to or less than the length of the first light-transmitting member 120a The width of the second transparent member is equal to or less than the width of the second transparent member.120b This is advantageous in protecting the light management film 113 from damage caused by the outside world.

[0058] Furthermore, the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are connected to the light control film 113 via the first translucent member 114. 120a and the second transparent member 120b That is, a part of the first electrode 111 and a part of the second electrode 112 are located outside the edge of the first transparent member. 120a and a second transparent member 120b 1. The first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are exposed through the wiring, which is advantageous for connecting the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 to a power source.

[0059] In related art, electrodes are directly inserted into the photochromic layer, with the electrodes and the conductive layer spaced apart. However, this installation method can lead to unsatisfactory results. Specifically, on the one hand, the photochromic layer is typically made of an insulating material, making it difficult to form an electrical connection between the electrode and the conductive layer. Even if an electrical connection is formed, the photochromic layer between the electrode and the conductive layer acts as a resistor with a relatively high resistance. When the photochromic component is turned on, this area generates heat due to its high resistance. After prolonged operation, the accumulated heat may damage the photochromic component. In addition, the high resistance of the photochromic layer reduces the voltage distributed to the conductive layer. As a result, the electric field generated by the conductive layer is insufficient. Therefore, the photochromic component always has a certain degree of haze and cannot enter a highly transparent state. On the other hand, when the electrodes are inserted into the photochromic layer, this area becomes too thick. In the process of sandwiching the dimming member between the first and second translucent members, excessive stress can make the first and second translucent members more susceptible to cracking, and even if they do not crack, mismatched thicknesses can cause air bubbles to form.

[0060] In contrast, in the present application, the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are respectively provided in the receiving space Z formed by the first conductive layer 1131b, the light control layer 1133, and the second conductive layer 1132b, so that the light control member 110 is not too thick at the position corresponding to the receiving space Z, and thus the first translucent member 120a and a second transparent member 120bThe formation of cracks and bubbles during the attachment process is avoided. Furthermore, because the first electrode 111 is attached to the first conductive layer 1131b to form an electrical connection, no switchable layer 1133 exists between the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b. At the same time, because the second electrode 112 is attached to the second conductive layer 1132b to form an electrical connection, no switchable layer 1133 exists between the second electrode 112 and the second conductive layer 1132b. This overcomes the technical issues of damage to the switchable component 110 due to heat accumulation in the switchable layer 1133 and the constant haze of the switchable component 110 due to partial pressure in the switchable layer 1133. Therefore, the switchable component 110 of the present application can ensure its proper function.

[0061] 4 and 6, the receiving space Z includes a first sub-space Z1 and a second sub-space Z2 spaced apart from the first sub-space Z1. The first electrode 111 is provided in the first sub-space Z1, and the second electrode 112 is provided in the second sub-space Z2. The first sub-space Z1 and the second sub-space Z2 are spaced apart, which means that the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are not present in the spaced apart area between the first sub-space Z1 and the second sub-space Z2. Therefore, a part of the light-controlling layer 1133 is Layer The light control layer 1133 can be provided in the spaced apart area without causing technical problems. As can be understood, providing the light control layer 1133 in the spaced apart area can increase the total controllable area of ​​the light control component 110, i.e., haze control is possible in the spaced apart area. The shapes of the first sub-space Z1 and the second space Z2 can be, but are not limited to, a circle, a square, a rectangle, an ellipse, a triangle, etc.

[0062] 6, the light-adjusting component 110 further includes a first adhesive layer 1134 and a second adhesive layer 1135. The first electrode 111 is adhered to and electrically connected to the first conductive layer 1131b by the first adhesive layer 1134. The second electrode 112 is adhered to and electrically connected to the second conductive layer 1132b by the second adhesive layer 1135. The first adhesive layer 1134 and the second adhesive layer 1135 are made of a conductive material and have a certain degree of adhesiveness, and may be, but are not limited to, a conductive adhesive tape, a conductive silver paste, an anisotropic conductive adhesive, a metal tape, etc.

[0063] As can be understood, due to process constraints, it is difficult to make the surfaces of the first conductive layer 1131b, the second conductive layer 1132b, the first electrode 111, and the second electrode 112 absolutely flat. The first conductive layer 1131b and the first electrode 111 will be described below as an example. If the first conductive layer 1131b and the first electrode 111 were in direct contact and electrically connected, a gap would inevitably exist between the first conductive layer 1131b and the first electrode 111. The presence of the gap increases the conduction resistance between the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b. In this embodiment, the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b are connected by a conductive first adhesive layer 1134, thereby eliminating or reducing the resistance. Specifically, when the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b are initially bonded using the first adhesive layer 1134, the first adhesive layer 1134 has a certain degree of ductility (e.g., conductive adhesive tape) or fluidity (e.g., conductive silver paste), so that the first adhesive layer 1134 can fill at least a portion of the gap between the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b, thereby reducing the resistance. Furthermore, after the first adhesive layer 1134 hardens, a strong connection can be formed, improving the peel strength between the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b. Similarly, the second electrode 112 and the second conductive layer 1132b are bonded to each other with conductivity via the second adhesive layer 1135, and so this will not be described in detail here.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 9 , the light control component 110 has a sealing structure M, at least a portion of which is disposed along the periphery of the light control component 110. The first substrate 1131a in the sealing structure M and the second substrate 1132a in the sealing structure M are bonded and fused to each other, i.e., the periphery of the first substrate 1131a and the periphery of the second substrate 1132a are bonded to form the sealing structure M. This isolates external objects from the first substrate 1131a and the second substrate 1132a, preventing external objects from entering the light control film 113 and damaging the light control layer 1133. Furthermore, after the sealing structure M is formed, the peel strength of the edge of the light control film 113 is improved (approximately 50 times stronger than before sealing). This prevents the film layers from peeling off from each other when the light control film 113 is folded. For example, a sunroof is a 3D curved glass, and a relatively large stress is applied to the curved area of ​​the light control film 113, which may cause peeling (the gap between the two substrate layers may become larger). Therefore, forming the sealing structure M can overcome this problem.

[0065] Specifically, the first connecting layer 130 and the second connecting layer 140, which are used to bond the light-transmitting member 120 and the light-controlling member 110, contain a plasticizer. If the plasticizer passes through the edge of the light-controlling film 113 and enters the interior of the light-controlling film 113, it may come into contact with the light-controlling layer 1133 and ultimately damage the light-controlling layer 1133. As a result, defects appear around the periphery of the light-controlling layer 1133, and the defective area cannot perform the corresponding light-control function. In this embodiment, a sealing structure M is provided around the periphery of the light-controlling member 110 to block the entry of the plasticizer.

[0066] The sealing structure M has a trench shape (or a recessed shape), and the light control film 113 is sealed in the sealing structure M. (Light control film 113 inside the sealed structure M) It is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 lower than that. In other words, the upper surface of the sealing structure M is lower than the upper surface of the effective functional area by 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the thickness of the first base or the second base.The trenches may all be located on the same side of the light management film 113 or on different sides (i.e., the recessed directions are opposite to each other). For example, if the sealing structure M is rectangular, the four trenches may all be located on the same side of the light management film 113 (i.e., the recessed directions of the four trenches are the same) or on different sides (i.e., the recessed directions of the four trenches are partly the same and partly different).

[0067] In another related technique, to facilitate electrode attachment, a portion of the first conductive layer and a portion of the second conductive layer are exposed by removing a portion of the first substrate and a portion of the second substrate on opposite sides of the light-control film. The exposed first conductive layer is used to electrically connect to the first electrode, and the exposed second conductive layer is used to electrically connect to the second electrode. However, because a portion of the first substrate and a portion of the second substrate are removed (hereinafter, the areas where the substrates are removed are referred to as the "predetermined areas"), it is not possible to form a structure such as the sealed structure described in this application in the predetermined areas. Therefore, foreign substances (e.g., plasticizers) can penetrate into the light-control film through the predetermined areas, ultimately damaging the light-control film. In the present application, the first electrode 111 is connected to the first conductive layer 1131b inside the light-control film 113, and the second electrode 112 is connected to the second conductive layer 1132b inside the light-control film 113, so that the above-mentioned sealing structure M can be formed without the need to remove the first substrate 1131a and the second substrate 1132a.

[0068] 10, the present application further provides a manufacturing method for the light control component 110. For the description of the light control component 110, please refer to the drawings and descriptions in any of the previous embodiments. The manufacturing method includes, but is not limited to, steps S100, S200, S300, S400, S500, and S600, and the description of steps S100, S200, S300, S400, S500, and S600 is as follows.

[0069] S100: Referring to Figures 11 and 12, a light management film 113 is provided, which includes a first film layer 1131, a light management layer 1133, and a second film layer 1132 stacked together.

[0070] The first film layer 1131 includes a first substrate 1131a and a first conductive layer 1131b, which are stacked together, and the second film layer 1132 includes a second substrate 1132a and a second conductive layer 1132b, which are stacked together. The light-controlling layer 1133 is located between the first conductive layer 1131b and the second conductive layer 1132b. That is, the first substrate 1131a, the first conductive layer 1131b, the light-controlling layer 1133, the second conductive layer 1132b, and the second substrate 1132a are stacked in this order.

[0071] The shape of the light control film 113 may be, but is not limited to, a circle, a rectangle, an oval, a triangle, etc., and in this application, a rectangle is exemplified.

[0072] The light control film 113 includes a first region A1 and a second region A2, i.e., a part of the light control film 113 constitutes the first region A1, and another part of the light control film 113 constitutes the second region A2. Note that the first region A1 in this application changes as the position of the light control film 113 changes, i.e., when the light control film 113 in the first region A1 changes from the first position to the second position, the light control film 113 positioned at the second position constitutes the first region A1. Below, the manufacturing process of the light control component 110 will be described by combining the first region A1 and the second region A2.

[0073] S200: Referring to FIG. 13, the first film layer 1131 located in the first region A1 and the second film layer 1132 located in the first region A1 are peeled away from each other to expose the photochromic layer 1133 in the first region A1.

[0074] Peeling refers to peeling the first film layer 1131 and the second film layer 1132. During the peeling process, the first film layer 1131 and the second film layer 1132 move relatively away from each other. The peeling means may be manual, i.e., an operator may directly peel the first film layer 1131 and the second film layer 1132 with their hands. In other embodiments, the peeling means may be mechanical.

[0075] After the light-control film 113 is peeled off, a portion of the light-control layer 1133 adheres to the first conductive layer 1131b of the first film layer 1131, and another portion of the light-control layer 1133 adheres to the second conductive layer 1132b of the second film layer 1132.

[0076] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13 , the second film layer 1132 is fixed, and the first film layer 1131 is peeled away from the second film layer 1132. After the peeling operation is completed, the first film layer 1131 located in the first region A1 and the first film layer 1131 located in the second region A2 are connected to form a curved or broken line. In another embodiment, the first film layer 1131 is fixed, and the second film layer 1132 is peeled away from the first film layer 1131. After the peeling operation is completed, the second film layer 1132 located in the first region A1 and the second film layer 1132 located in the second region A2 are connected to form a curved or broken line. In yet another embodiment, the first film layer 1131 is fixed, and the second film layer 1132 is peeled away from the first film layer 1131. After the peeling operation is completed, the second film layer 1132 located in the first region A1 and the second film layer 1132 located in the second region A2 are connected to form a curved or broken line. to turn away from The first film layer 1131 is peeled away in the direction away from the second film layer 1132, and the second film layer 1132 is peeled away from the first film layer 1131. After the peeling operation is completed, the first film layer 1131 located in the first region A1 and the first film layer 1131 located in the second region A2 are connected to form a curved or broken line, and the second film layer 1132 located in the first region A1 and the second film layer 1132 located in the second region A2 are connected to form a curved or broken line. In the above three embodiments, the first region A1 consists of the peeled first film layer 1131, second film layer 1132, and light control layer 1133.

[0077] S300: Referring to FIG. 14, at least a portion of the light-controlling layer 1133 on the first conductive layer 1131b located in the first region A is removed.

[0078] Specifically, after the peeling operation is completed, the dimming layer 1133 on the first conductive layer 1131b in the peeled portion (located in the first region A1) is removed using an organic solvent (ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, etc.) so that one side of the first conductive layer 1131b facing away from the first substrate 1131a is exposed.

[0079] S400: Referring to FIG. 15, the first electrode 111 is attached to the first conductive layer 1131b located in the first region A1.

[0080] That is, by attaching the first electrode 111 to the side of the first conductive layer 1131b that faces away from the first base 1131a, an electrical connection is formed between the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b.

[0081] S500: Referring to FIG. 16, at least a portion of the light-controlling layer 1133 on the second conductive layer 1132b located in the first region A1 is removed.

[0082] Specifically, after the peeling operation is completed, the dimming layer 1133 on the second conductive layer 1132b in the peeled portion (located in the first region A1) is removed using an organic solvent (such as ethanol) so that one side of the second conductive layer 1132b facing away from the second substrate 1132a is exposed.

[0083] S600: Figure 1 7 For reference, the second electrode 112 is attached to the second conductive layer 1132b located in the first region A1. That is, by attaching the second electrode 112 to the side of the second conductive layer 1132b that is away from the second base 1132a, an electrical connection is formed between the second electrode 112 and the second conductive layer 1132b.

[0084] There are several possible embodiments regarding the order in which steps S300, S400, S500, and S600 are performed. In one embodiment, steps S300, S400, S500, and S600 are performed in order. In another embodiment, steps S300 and S500 are first performed in order (or simultaneously), and then steps S400 and S600 are performed in order (or simultaneously).

[0085] In conventional technology, the photochromic layer is not removed, and electrodes are directly inserted into the photochromic layer, separating the electrode from the conductive layer. However, this installation method can lead to undesirable results. Specifically, on the one hand, the photochromic layer is typically an insulating material, making it difficult to form an electrical connection between the electrode and the conductive layer. Even if an electrical connection is formed, the photochromic layer between the electrode and the conductive layer acts as a resistor with a relatively high resistance. When the photochromic component is turned on, this resistor generates heat. After prolonged operation, the heat accumulation can damage the photochromic component. Furthermore, because a portion of the voltage is distributed to this resistor, the voltage distributed to the conductive layer is insufficient. As a result, the electric field generated by the conductive layer is insufficient. Therefore, the photochromic component always exhibits a certain degree of haze and cannot enter a transparent state. On the other hand, when the electrodes are inserted into the photochromic layer, this portion becomes too thick. During the process of sandwiching the photochromic component between the first and second translucent components, the first and second translucent components are prone to cracking. First light-transmitting member 120a and a second transparent member 120b For an explanation of the above, please refer to the previous related example.

[0086] In this embodiment, before attaching the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, the light-controlling layer 1133 on the first conductive layer 1131b located in the first region A1 and the light-controlling layer 1133 on the second conductive layer 1132b located in the first region A1 were already removed. After attachment, the light-controlling layer 1133 was removed between the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b, and between the second electrode 112 and the second conductive layer 1132b. Photochromic layer 1133This overcomes the technical problems of damage to the light switchable component 110 due to heat accumulation in the light switchable layer 1133 and the light switchable component 110 always having a certain degree of haze. In addition, because the light switchable layer 1133 in the first region A1 is removed, space can be provided for the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, which in turn prevents the light switchable component 110 from cracking due to being too thick at the locations where the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are provided.

[0087] The first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 may be provided at the same end of the light control film 113 (as shown in FIG. 18) or at different ends (as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20). This application only illustrates the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 being provided at the same end, but this should not be considered as limiting the light control component 110 of this application.

[0088] 21, in the above embodiment, step S200 of "peeling the first film layer 1131 located in the first area A1 and the second film layer 1132 located in the first area A1 away from each other to expose the light control layer 1133 in the first area A1" can include steps S210, S220, S230, and S240. Steps S210, S220, S230, and S240 will be described as follows.

[0089] S210: Referring to FIG. 22, cut the light management film 113 located in the first area A1 along a first predetermined path S1 to form a first sub-area A11.

[0090] The first predetermined path S1 may be a straight line or a curved line. The cutting tool may be, but is not limited to, scissors, a blade, or the like, as long as it can cut to form the first sub-area A11.

[0091] 23 and 24, the first film layer 1131 located in the first sub-region A11 and the second film layer 1132 located in the first sub-region A11 are peeled away from each other to expose the light control layer 1133 located in the first sub-region A11. For an explanation of the peeling process, please refer to the explanation of step S200 above.

[0092] S230: Referring to FIG. 25, cut the light management film 113 located in the first area A1 along a second predetermined path S2 to form a second sub-area A12.

[0093] The second predetermined path S2 may be a straight line or a curved line. The cutting tool may be, but is not limited to, scissors, a blade, or the like, as long as it can cut to form the second sub-area A12. The second sub-area A12 and the first sub-area A11 do not overlap.

[0094] 26 and 27, the first film layer 1131 located in the second sub-region A12 and the second film layer 1132 located in the second sub-region A12 are peeled away from each other to expose the light control layer 1133 located in the second sub-region A12. For an explanation of the peeling process, please refer to the explanation of step S200 above.

[0095] Note that there are multiple possible embodiments regarding the order in which steps S210, S220, S230, and S240 are performed. In one embodiment, steps S210, S220, S230, and S240 are performed in order. In another embodiment, steps S210 and S230 are first performed in order (or simultaneously), and then steps S220 and S240 are performed in order (or simultaneously).

[0096] It should be noted that when the first predetermined path S1 and the second predetermined path S2 are straight lines, they may be parallel to each other (as shown in FIG. 25), perpendicular to each other, or the extension directions of both may intersect.

[0097] Referring to FIG. 25, the first region A1 optionally further includes a third sub-region A13. The third sub-region A13 is located between the first sub-region A11 and the second sub-region A12; that is, the first sub-region A11 and the second sub-region A12 are spaced apart. Therefore, there is no need to perform a peeling operation on the third sub-region A13, and there is no need to remove the light-controlling layer 1133 in the third sub-region A13. This increases the total controllable area of ​​the light-controlling component 110; in other words, haze control can also be achieved in the third sub-region A13. In this embodiment, the first sub-region A11 and the second sub-region A12 correspond to the first sub-space Z1 and the second sub-space Z2, respectively. That is, the first sub-space Z1 is located in the first sub-region A11, and the second sub-space Z2 is located in the second sub-region A12. Second sub-area A12 For a description of the first sub-space Z1 and the second sub-space Z2, please refer to the description of the previous embodiment.

[0098] Referring to Figure 28, in the above embodiment, step S300 of "removing at least a portion of the dimming layer 1133 on the first conductive layer 1131b located in the first region A" may include step S310, and the description of step S310 is as follows.

[0099] S310: Referring to FIG. 29, the photochromic layer 1133 on the first conductive layer 1131b located in the first sub-region A11 and the photochromic layer 1133 on the second conductive layer 1132b located in the first sub-region A11 are removed.

[0100] As mentioned above, the first conductive layer 1131b is used to attach the first electrode 111. After the attachment of the first electrode 111 is completed, the first film layer 1131 and the second film layer 1132 must be combined to return the light control film 113 to the state it was in before it was peeled off. After the first film layer 1131 and the second film layer 1132 are combined, the first electrode 111 is located between the first conductive layer 1131b and the second conductive layer 1132b.

[0101] If the light-controlling layer 1133 on the second conductive layer 1132b is not removed, after the first film layer 1131 and the second film layer 1132 are joined, the side of the first electrode 111 facing the second conductive layer 1132b will be in contact with the light-controlling layer 1133. As can be appreciated, in some cases, the light-controlling film 113 may be exposed to light for a long time. For example, if the light-controlling film 113 is exposed to light from a vehicle 5 When applied to a sunroof, it is difficult to avoid exposure to summer heat. This exposure can cause a small amount of material that can destroy the first electrode 111 to be generated in the light-controlling layer 1133, which can damage the first electrode 111 and ultimately cause the light-controlling component 110 to fail after a certain period of time. Furthermore, the material generated in the light-controlling layer 1133 can also affect the first adhesive layer 1134, potentially reducing the adhesive capacity of the first adhesive layer 1134. In this embodiment, the light-controlling layer 1133 on the first conductive layer 1131b and the light-controlling layer 1133 on the second conductive layer 1132b are simultaneously removed, thereby avoiding the above-mentioned problems.

[0102] Referring to Figure 30, in the above embodiment, step S500 of "removing at least a portion of the photochromic layer 1133 on the second conductive layer 1132b located in the first region A1" may include step S510, and the description of step S510 is as follows:

[0103] 31, remove the light-controlling layer 1133 on the first conductive layer 1131b located in the second sub-region A12 and the light-controlling layer 1133 on the second conductive layer 1132b located in the second sub-region A12. Step S510 is similar to step S310 described above, and the description of step S510 can refer to the description of step S310 described above, and the description will be omitted here.

[0104] Referring to FIG. 32, in the above embodiment, step S400 of "attaching the first electrode 111 to the first conductive layer 1131b located in the first region A1" may include steps S410 and S420, and the description of steps S410 and S420 is as follows.

[0105] S410: Referring to FIG. 33, a first adhesive layer 1134 is formed on the surface of the first conductive layer 1131b located in the first region A1 that faces away from the first substrate 1131a, or a first adhesive layer 1134 is formed on the surface of the first electrode 111.

[0106] S420: Referring to FIG. 34, the first electrode 111 is attached to the first conductive layer 1131b located in the first region A1 through the first adhesive layer 1134.

[0107] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first adhesive layer 1134 may be formed on the first conductive layer 1131b first, and then the first electrode 111 may be attached to the first conductive layer 1131b. In another embodiment, the first adhesive layer 1134 may be formed on the first electrode 111 first, and then the first electrode 111 may be attached to the first conductive layer 1131b. The first adhesive layer 1134 may be made of a material having adhesive and conductive properties, such as, but not limited to, conductive adhesive tape, conductive silver paste, anisotropic conductive adhesive, or metal tape. Taking conductive silver paste as an example, in one embodiment, the conductive silver paste is applied to the surface of the first conductive layer 1131b facing away from the first base 1131a, and then the first electrode 111 is attached to the conductive silver paste. Finally, the conductive silver paste is solidified by a drying operation, resulting in the first electrode 111 being firmly attached to the first conductive layer 1131b. In another embodiment, a conductive silver paste may be applied to the first electrode 111, and then the first electrode 111b may be attached to the first conductive layer 1131b through the conductive silver paste. Finally, the conductive silver paste is solidified by a drying operation, resulting in the first electrode 111 being firmly attached to the first conductive layer 1131b.

[0108] As can be understood, by connecting the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b using the first adhesive layer 1134 having conductive ability, the conductive resistance between the first electrode 111 and the first conductive layer 1131b can be eliminated or reduced; for specific principles, please refer to the description of the embodiments relating to the configuration.

[0109] Referring to FIG. 35, in the above embodiment, step S600 of "attaching the second electrode 112 to the second conductive layer 1132b located in the first region A1" may include steps S610 and S620, and the description of steps S610 and S620 is as follows.

[0110] S610: Referring to Figure 36, a second adhesive layer 1135 is formed on the surface of the second conductive layer 1132b located in the first region A1 that faces away from the second substrate 1132a, or a second adhesive layer 1135 is formed on the surface of the second electrode 112.

[0111] S620: Referring to FIG. 37, attach the second electrode 112 to the second conductive layer 1132b located in the first area A1 through the second adhesive layer 1135.

[0112] For the explanation of steps S610 and S620, please refer to the description of steps S410 and S420 above, and the explanation will be omitted here.

[0113] Referring to FIG. 38, in the above embodiment, after step S600 of "attaching the second electrode 112 to the second conductive layer 1132b located in the first region A1", step S700 may be further included, and the description of S700 is as follows:

[0114] S700: Referring to FIG. 39 and FIG. 40, a sealing structure M is formed around the periphery of the light management film 113, and the first substrate 1131a in the sealing structure M and the second substrate 1132a in the sealing structure M are bonded to each other.

[0115] The periphery refers to the edge of the light control film 113. That is, a sealing structure M is formed on the edge of the light control film 113. After the sealing structure M is formed, the first substrate 1131a at the position corresponding to the sealing structure M and the second substrate 1132a at the position corresponding to the sealing structure M are connected, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering the inside of the light control film 113.

[0116] Before forming the sealing structure M, the first substrate 1131a and the second substrate 1132a are spaced apart. In the second region A2, the first conductive layer 1131b, the light control layer 1133, and the second conductive layer 1132b are located between the first substrate 1131a and the second substrate 1132a. In the first region A1, the first conductive layer 1131b, the second conductive layer 1132b, the first electrode 111, the second electrode 112, the first adhesive layer 1134, and the second adhesive layer 1135 are located between the first substrate 1131a and the second substrate 1132a. For details, please refer to the drawings related to the previous embodiment. After the sealing structure M is formed, the sealing structure M intersects with the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, and in the sealing structure M other than the positions of the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112, the first base 1131a and the second base 1132a are bonded to each other, i.e., only the first base 1131a and the second base 1132a at positions corresponding to the first electrode 111 and the second electrode 112 are separated from each other.

[0117] As mentioned in the above-described embodiment, in the related art, to facilitate electrode attachment, portions of the first substrate and the second substrate are removed to expose portions of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The first electrode is then directly attached to the first conductive layer, and the second electrode is directly attached to the second conductive layer. This process does not involve a peeling operation. However, this manufacturing method does not allow for the formation of a structure like the sealing structure of the present application at the electrode location. This can allow foreign substances (e.g., plasticizers) to penetrate into the light-control film through this location, potentially damaging the film. In contrast, in the present application, the first electrode 111 is connected to the first conductive layer 1131b within the light-control film 113, and the second electrode 112 is connected to the second conductive layer 1132b within the light-control film 113. This eliminates the need to remove the first substrate 1131a and the second substrate 1132a, allowing the sealing structure M to be formed. Furthermore, after forming the sealing structure M, the peel strength of the edge of the light control film 113 can be improved (about 50 times stronger than before sealing). This can avoid the problem of the film layers peeling off from each other when the light control film 113 is bent. For example, a sunroof is a 3D curved glass, and a relatively large stress is applied to the bending area of ​​the light control film 113, which can cause peeling (the gap between the two layers of the substrate becomes larger). Therefore, forming the sealing structure M can overcome this problem.

[0118] Referring to FIG. 41, in one embodiment, step S700 of "forming a sealing structure M around the periphery of the light-control film 113, and the first substrate 1131a in the sealing structure M and the second substrate 1132a in the sealing structure M being bonded to each other" may include steps S710, S720, and S730, and the description of steps S710, S720, and S730 is as follows:

[0119] S710: Referring to FIG. 42, a first processed part 2 and a second processed part 3 are provided.

[0120] S720: Referring to FIG. 43, the light management film 113 is positioned between the first working part 2 and the second working part 3.

[0121] The first processed part 2 abuts against the first substrate 1131 a of the light management film 113 , and the second processed part 3 abuts against the second substrate 1132 a of the light management film 113 .

[0122] S730: Referring to FIG. 44, the first processing part 2 and the second processing part 3 cooperate to form a sealing structure M on the periphery of the light-control film 113, that is, the periphery of the first substrate 1131a and the periphery of the second substrate 1132a are connected to form the sealing structure M.

[0123] in particular, Second processed part 3 is a mounting base for placing the light control film 113, and its shape may be circular, elliptical, rectangular, etc., but is not limited to these. 1st processed part 2 is wheel-shaped, Second processed part 3 The first processing part 2 is used to cooperate with the second processing part 3 to form a tight abutment against the light management film 113. The first processing part 2 is rotatable, and the second processing part 3 is vibrable. Cooperation between the first processing part 2 and the second processing part 3 fuses the first substrate 1131a at the edge of the light management film 113 and the second substrate 1132a at the edge of the light management film 113 together, resulting in the formation of a sealed structure M and the light management component 110.

[0124] The sealing structure M is trench-shaped (or recessed), and the light management film 113 is located at a height 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 lower than the effective functional area of ​​the light management film 113 in the sealing structure M. The trenches may all be located on the same side of the light management film 113, or on different sides (i.e., the recess directions are opposite to each other). For example, if the sealing structure M is rectangular, the four trenches may be located on the same side of the light management film 113 (i.e., the recess directions of the four trenches are the same for some parts) or on different sides (i.e., the recess directions of the four trenches are the same for some parts and different for others).

[0125] The process of joining the first base body 1131a and the second base body 1132a together through the cooperation of the first processed part 2 and the second processed part 3 will be specifically described below.

[0126] The first processed part 2 can rotate relative to the light-controlling film 113. During rotation, sliding friction occurs between the first processed part 2 and the first substrate 1131a, which generates heat and increases the temperature of the first substrate 1131a. At the same time, the second processed part 3 can move the light-controlling film 113 so that it vibrates (vibrates at high frequency) relative to the first processed part 2. During vibration, a high-frequency pressing effect is generated between the first processed part 2 and the first substrate 1131a, and between the second processed part 3 and the second substrate 1132a, resulting in high-frequency friction. Therefore, through the cooperation of the first processed part 2 and the second processed part 3, the first substrate 1131a and the second substrate 1132a are heated to a molten state in some regions, and then fused together. After cooling, a sealing structure M with a relatively good sealing effect is formed. During the vibration, the first conductive layer 1131b, the second conductive layer 1132b, and the light-controlling layer 1133 at the positions corresponding to the first processed part 2 are pulverized.

[0127] Optionally, referring to FIG. 45 , the second processed part 3 can rotate around a preset axis L, which is parallel to the direction in which the first processed part 2 moves toward the second processed part 3. The point of application (indirect action) where the first processed part 2 abuts on the second processed part 3 is defined as the abutment point O, and the distance from the preset axis L to the abutment point O is equal to or greater than a preset distance H that is greater than zero. As can be seen, since the second processed part 3 vibrates during the sealing process, if the second processed part 3 rotates around the abutment point O, a depression will be formed at the position of the abutment point O on the second processed part 3 due to prolonged abutment of the first processed part 2, which may ultimately damage the light control film 113. In this embodiment, since the preset distance H is set to be greater than zero, while the second processed part 3 rotates around the preset axis L, the abutment point O also rotates around the preset axis L, i.e., the abutment point O becomes a changing point. This prevents the first processed part 2 from repeatedly acting on the same point on the second processed part 3, thereby preventing the formation of the above-mentioned depression. In addition, the change in the abutment point O also allows the sealing structure M to form a constant width D (see FIG. 44), thereby improving the sealing effect of the light control film 113.

[0128] Furthermore, the sealing structure M has an overall annular shape. The annular shape may be, but is not limited to, a circular ring, a rectangular ring (as shown in FIG. 44), an elliptical ring, etc. The specific shape can be determined by the orientation of the edge of the light management film 113 and is not limited here.

[0129] Optionally, openings (for example, sawtooth, semicircular, rectangular, etc., any number) may be provided around the periphery of the light control film 113 to prevent wrinkles from forming in the light-transmitting member 120 applied to the 3D curved glass.

[0130] As can be understood, to form the overall shape of the sealing structure M, a relative movement needs to occur between the first processed part 2 and the light management film 113; in other words, the first processed part 2 needs to be moved along a predetermined direction (the overall shape of the sealing structure M) relative to the light management film 113 so as to abut against different positions on the light management film 113 and gradually form the sealing structure M. Forming the sealing structure M along the predetermined direction may be achieved only by the movement of the first processed part 2, or may be achieved by the second processed part 3 moving the light management film 113, or may be achieved by another external object moving the light management film 113.

[0131] Referring to FIG. 46, the sealing structure M may include a first substructure M1, a second substructure M2, and a third substructure M3. The first substructure M1 is formed at the boundary between the first subregion A11 and the third subregion A13. The second substructure M2 is formed at the boundary between the second subregion A12 and the third subregion A13. The third substructure M3 is formed along the edge direction of the light management film 113 and is used to seal the edge of the light management film 113. As can be seen, the first subregion A11, the second subregion A12, and the third subregion A13 are cut along the first predetermined path S1 and the second predetermined path S2, so openings exist at the positions of the first predetermined path S1 and the second predetermined path S2, and these openings also need to be sealed.

[0132] Regarding the first substructure M1, in one embodiment, the first substructure M1 is formed along the first predetermined path S1, i.e., the first substructure M1 is formed in the first predetermined path S1 and has the same orientation as the first predetermined path S1, as shown in Fig. 46. In another embodiment, the first predetermined path S1 is surrounded by the first substructure M1 and the third substructure M3, i.e., the first substructure M1 and the third substructure M3 form a surrounding ring, and the first predetermined path S1 is located within the surrounding ring, as shown in Fig. 47.

[0133] Regarding the second substructure M2, in one embodiment, as shown in Figure 46, the second substructure M2 is formed along the second predetermined path S2, i.e., the second substructure M2 is formed in the second predetermined path S2 and has the same orientation as the second predetermined path S2. In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 47, the second predetermined path S2 is surrounded by the second substructure M2 and the third substructure M3, i.e., the second substructure M2 and the third substructure M3 form a surrounding ring, and the second predetermined path S2 is located within the surrounding ring. <Example 2 (Figs. 48 to 58)>

[0134] The present application provides a light control component 1. Referring to Fig. 48 and Fig. 49 together, Fig. 48 is a schematic plan view of a light control component according to embodiment 1 of the present application, and Fig. 49 is a schematic cross-sectional view along line II of the configuration shown in Fig. 48. The light control component 1 comprises a light control film. The light control film comprises a first substrate 11, a functional layer 12, and a second substrate 13, which are laminated in this order. A sealing structure 15 is provided on the outer periphery of the functional layer 12, and the sealing structure 15 is formed by encasing the functional layer 12 with the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13.

[0135] Note that the overall configuration and components of the light-adjusting component 1 are shown in perspective in FIG. 48 to allow for a clearer view of the overall configuration and components, but this does not mean that the overall configuration and components of the light-adjusting component 1 are disposed on the first substrate 11. In this embodiment, the functional layer 12 includes a first conductive layer 121, a light-adjusting layer 122, and a second conductive layer 123, which are sequentially stacked. When a voltage or current is applied to the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 123, the light-adjusting layer 122 is turned on, and the light-adjusting component 1 is in a power-on state. When no voltage or current is applied to the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 123, the light-adjusting layer 122 is turned off, and the light-adjusting component 1 is in a power-off state. It should be understood that in other possible embodiments, other means may be used to control the adjustment of the power-on and power-off states of the light-adjusting component 1, and this is not limited to this application. It should be understood that the functional layer may have other functions, such as communication or display, in addition to the light control function, and is not limited to only the light-adjusting function.

[0136] The light switchable component 1 has a multilayer composite structure that can adjust the reflective or transmissive properties of transmitted light, such as a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), a suspended particle device (SPD), a dichroic dye liquid crystal (LC) film, or an electrochromic (EC) film. In this embodiment, the light switchable component 1 is a PDLC. When the functional layer 12 of the light switchable component 1 is turned off, the haze of the light switchable component 1 is relatively large, and most of the light incident on the light switchable component 1 is blocked by the functional layer 12. As a result, the light switchable component 1 is in an opaque state when turned off. When the functional layer 12 of the light switchable component 1 is turned on, the functional layer 12 becomes transparent and no longer blocks light, allowing most of the light to pass through the light switchable component 1. As a result, the light switchable component 1 is in a transparent state when turned on.

[0137] Because the functional layer 12 is relatively sensitive to gases (e.g., moisture) or plasticizers in the environment or around the film, a portion of the film around the functional layer may lose its light-controlling ability, which may deteriorate over time and with increasing temperature. Therefore, to form a sealing structure 15 and effectively protect the functional layer 12, it is necessary to seal the edges of the functional layer 12. The sealing structure 15 is preferably formed around the outer periphery of the light-control component 1, completely sealing it. Therefore, the light-control component 110 according to the present application can ensure its normal function.

[0138] As can be seen, in the first embodiment, the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13 are frequently rubbed locally near the processing die, and the friction between the two substrates is increased. Machine One of the 12 Noh layers Department The material is crushed Mold The water flows to both sides. After being melted at a high temperature, such as 250 to 300°C, the first substrate 11 comes into contact with the second substrate 13, and after being cooled and solidified, a highly dense sealed structure 15 is formed in the light control component. This allows the water absorption rate of the functional layer to be 1% or less, effectively improving the peel strength of the light control component 1 and increasing the overall mechanical strength. In addition, the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 123 do not short-circuit, improving yield and product reliability.

[0139] Alternatively, referring again to FIG. 49, the light-adjusting component 1 includes a first substrate 11, a functional layer 12, and a second substrate 13, which are laminated in this order. 13 Each of the first and second substrates 11 and 13 has a base body portion 1a and a base edge portion 1b. The base body portion 1a of the first substrate 11 and the base body portion 1a of the second substrate 13 are used to hold or sandwich the functional layer 12, and the base edge portion 1b of the first substrate 11 and the base edge portion 1b of the second substrate 13 form a sealing structure for enclosing the functional layer 12.

[0140] In the first embodiment, the total thickness of the first substrate 11 and the first conductive layer 121 in the stacking direction is Second base 13 and second conductive layer 1 2 The total thickness in the stacking direction of the light switchable layer 122 is approximately 11 μm. That is, the total thickness in the stacking direction of the light switchable component 1 is approximately 385 μm.

[0141] 49 again, at least one groove structure 14 is provided on the outer edge of the light control component 1, and the sealing structure is located in the groove structure 14. In this embodiment, the length of the groove structure 14 in the stacking direction is about 270 μm, and in other possible embodiments, the length of the groove structure 14 in the stacking direction may vary according to changes in actual operation.

[0142] The thickness of the first conductive layer 121 in the stacking direction and the thickness of the second conductive layer 123 in the stacking direction are relatively small. The thickness values ​​are typically on the order of several hundred nanometers, much less than 5 μm. The first conductive layer 121 is closely attached to the first substrate 11, and the second conductive layer 123 is closely attached to the second substrate 13. Therefore, in the present application, the first conductive layer 121 can be considered to be substantially part of the first substrate 11, and the second conductive layer 123 can be considered to be substantially part of the second substrate 13 in the stacking direction. The material in the light-controlling layer 122 in the groove structure 14 is extruded, causing the groove structure to become transparent or translucent. In one possible embodiment, the sealing structure 15 is integrally formed with the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 13.

[0143] Specifically, in one possible embodiment: Concave groove structure 14 is formed by the first substrate 11 and / or the second substrate 13 melting and shrinking in the direction of the functional layer 12.

[0144] Specifically, in this embodiment, the longitudinal cross section of the groove structure 14 located on the first substrate 11 is trapezoidal, but in other possible embodiments, the longitudinal cross section of the groove structure 14 may be rectangular, elliptical, etc., and this application is not limited thereto.

[0145] The groove structure 14 penetrates the functional layer 12 and communicates with a surface of the functional layer 12 closer to the first substrate 11 and / or a surface of the functional layer 12 closer to the second substrate 13. The first substrate 11 in a high-temperature molten state flows through the groove structure 14 to the second substrate 13 due to gravity and fills the groove structure 14, thereby forming a sealing structure 15. It can be understood that in other possible embodiments, the second substrate 13 in a high-temperature molten state may flow through the groove structure 14 to the first substrate 11 due to gravity, and the first substrate 11 in a high-temperature molten state and the second substrate 13 in a high-temperature molten state may simultaneously fill the groove structure 14, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0146] In this embodiment, the sealing structure 15 is formed by melting and shrinking the first base 11 toward the functional layer 12. Therefore, the first base 11 is at least partially recessed on the side away from the functional layer 12.

[0147] To avoid this problem, please also refer to Figure 50. Figure 50 shows the structure of the second embodiment of the present application. Schematic cross-section of light-control film Specifically, before forming the groove structure 14, a pad portion is filled in advance in the corresponding portion of the first substrate 11 to form a filling portion. 101 The first substrate 11 is melted and flows into the groove structure 14, and after cooling and solidifying, the filling portion 101 The filling portion can fill in the sunken portion of the first substrate 11. 101 After the filling portion 12 is melted, the side of the first substrate 11 that is away from the functional layer 12 can be relatively flat. 101 The range of the thickness in the stacking direction is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 times the thickness in the stacking direction of the first substrate 11 or the second substrate 13.

[0148] For other possible embodiments, please also refer to Figure 51. Figure 51 shows the third embodiment of the present application. Schematic cross-section of light-control film The difference between the present embodiment 3 and the embodiment 2 is that, at the same time as forming the groove structure 14, a filling portion is provided in the recessed portion of the first substrate 11 so that the surface of the first substrate 11 on the side away from the functional layer 12 becomes relatively flat. 101 In terms of appearance, the groove structure 14 is almost eliminated, and the cost is increased, but the appearance is better. In particular, when the light control component 1 is applied to a frameless car window or the like (but not limited to this), the groove structure 14 is formed in this way, and at the same time, the filling portion is formed. 101 It is preferable to fill and flatten the sealing structure 15 using the filling part. 101 The material of the filling portion may be the same as or different from the material of the first substrate 11. The term "filled and leveled" means that the filling portion is substantially level, i.e., the upper surface of the substrate body portion and the upper surface of the filling portion are substantially level, or that the filling portion is completely level, i.e., the upper surface of the substrate body portion and the upper surface of the filling portion are level. As can be understood, the groove structure 14 is formed first, and then the filling portion is formed.101 may be used to fill and level the sealing structure 15.

[0149] In one possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 49 and Figure 52 together. Figure 52 shows a dimming control according to the fourth embodiment of the present application. film 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the sealing structure 15. The longitudinal cross section of the groove structure 14 is U-shaped, I-shaped, II-shaped, III-shaped, or a combination of these shapes.

[0150] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 49 , the sealing structure 15 has a U-shaped longitudinal cross section at the groove structure 14, and as shown in FIG. 52 , the sealing structure 15 has a III-shaped longitudinal cross section at the groove structure 14. As can be seen, the sealing structure 15 with a III-shaped longitudinal cross section can be considered to have six force-receiving contact surfaces between the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13, and the sealing structure 15 with a U-shaped longitudinal cross section can be considered to have two force-receiving contact surfaces between the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13. Therefore, other conditions being equal, the sealing structure 15 with a III-shaped longitudinal cross section can provide stronger peel strength than the sealing structure 15 with a U-shaped longitudinal cross section. Meanwhile, the sealing structure 15 with a U-shaped longitudinal cross section is easier and more convenient to manufacture than the sealing structure 15 with a III-shaped longitudinal cross section.

[0151] It is understood that different shapes of the sealing structure 15 allow different adjustments of the peel strength to the light control component 1. Figures 49 and 52 of the present application are merely some possible embodiments, and the present application does not intend to limit the shape of the sealing structure 15. In other possible embodiments, the sealing structure 15 may have other shapes, and the present application does not intend to limit the shape.

[0152] In one possible embodiment, referring again to Fig. 48, the groove structure 14 includes a step structure or a trench structure. When the groove structure 14 is a trench structure, a dam structure 16 is provided on the outer periphery of the groove structure 14. The dam structure 16 completely electrically isolates the light control component 1 outside the groove structure from the light control component 1 inside the groove structure. The distance from the dam structure 16 to the groove structure 14 ranges from 0.5 mm to 10 mm.

[0153] The dam structure 16 partially includes the first substrate 11, the functional layer 12, and the second substrate 13, which are stacked in this order. However, after the edge sealing of the light-adjusting component 1 is completed, the dam structure 16 loses its light-adjusting function and serves to further protect the sealing structure 15.

[0154] In this embodiment, the distance from the dam structure 16 to the groove structure 14 ranges from 0.5 mm to 10 mm. Preferably, the distance from the dam structure 16 to the groove structure 14 ranges from 3 mm to 7 mm, and specifically, the distance from the dam structure 16 to the groove structure 14 may be 5.1 mm, 5.7 mm, 6.4 mm, etc., and is not limited in this application.

[0155] If the groove structure 14 is a step structure, please also refer to Figure 53. Figure 53 shows the fifth embodiment of the present application. Schematic cross-section of light-control film Groove structure 14 Located on the periphery of By removing the dam structure 16, the light control component 1 is formed with almost no unnecessary area for light control, which satisfies the demand for manufacturing the emerging frameless laminated light control glass or other components and structures.

[0156] 48, in one possible embodiment, the dimming component 1 further includes a conductive member 17. The conductive member 17 is electrically connected to the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 123, respectively. The conductive member 17 is for transporting current to the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 123 so that the dimming component 1 is in a power-on state. As can be understood, when the conductive member 17 stops transporting current to the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 123, the dimming component 1 is in a power-off state.

[0157] The conductive member 17 includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is electrically connected to the first conductive layer 121, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the second conductive layer 123.

[0158] For one possible embodiment, please also refer to Fig. 54. Fig. 54 is a schematic plan view of a photochromic component according to a sixth embodiment of the present application. The photochromic component 1 further has at least one notch 18. The opening direction of the notch 18 is approximately perpendicular to the stacking direction of the photochromic component 1, and the notch 18 faces outward.

[0159] Specifically, the opening direction of the notch 18 is as shown by the arrow in Fig. 54. In this embodiment 6, the opening shape of the notch 18 is U-shaped, but in other possible embodiments, the shape of the notch 18 may be V-shaped or other shapes, and may also have different sizes, which are not listed one by one in the drawings, and the present application is not limited to the shape of the notch 18. Note that the notch is preferably formed before sealing the edge of the light control component.

[0160] Currently, most glass used in vehicles, such as windshields, door glass, and sunroof glass, has a hyperbolic spherical shape, so a flat film cannot be spread after being molded onto the hyperbolic spherical glass, resulting in many wrinkles.

[0161] As can be seen, in this embodiment 6, at least one notch 18 is formed on the periphery of the photochromic component 1, and the notch 18 area of ​​the molded photochromic component 1 is hidden by the black edge of the photochromic component 1, and at the same time, the occurrence of wrinkles can be effectively prevented. Furthermore, by sealing the notch 18 area and the peripheral edge of the photochromic component 1, the functional layer 12 of the photochromic component 1 can be isolated from the outside world, and the effects of external moisture and plasticizers can be prevented.

[0162] Next, a method for manufacturing a light control member that is applicable to the light control member 1 according to the present application will be described. The present application also provides a method for manufacturing a light control member, which should also be referred to in FIG. 55. FIG. 55 is a flowchart showing a method for manufacturing a light control member according to embodiment 7 of the present application. The method for manufacturing a light control member includes steps S801, S802, S803, S804, S805, and S806, and steps S801, S802, S803, S804, S805, and S806 will be described in detail below.

[0163] S801: Provided is a light control component including a first substrate, a functional layer, and a second substrate, which are stacked in this order.

[0164] Specifically, for the light adjusting member 1, refer to the above description, and the description will be omitted here.

[0165] S802: A processing mold is provided on the side of the first substrate that is away from the functional layer, and a mounting table is provided on the side of the second substrate that is away from the functional layer.

[0166] For details, please also refer to FIG. 56. FIG. 56 is a schematic diagram of a mold and a support table according to embodiment 8 of the present application. In this embodiment, the mold 2 is ring-shaped and abuts against the first substrate 11. When the mold 2 is pressed against the first substrate 11, the support table vibrates at high frequency, crushing a portion of the functional layer where the first substrate 11 and the mold 2 come into contact and forcing it to both sides of the mold 2. The first substrate and the second substrate then directly rub against each other and melt at high temperature. The edge sealing of the submillimeter film is completed within subseconds. The ring continues to rotate at a constant speed, and the above process is repeated at a new position. In this manner, the edge sealing operation continues until the outer periphery is fully closed and complete edge sealing is achieved.

[0167] A round iron anvil with a flat surface can be used as the mounting base 3. The mounting base 3 is used to place the light control component 1 in contact with the second base 13. When the mold 2 rolls, the mold 2 causes the light control component 1 to perform a translational movement on the mounting base 3 along the rolling direction of the mold 2, thereby grinding different portions of the light control component 1.

[0168] S803: The first substrate is pressed against the mold, and the mold and second substrate are vibrated back and forth in a direction parallel to the direction of the mold, and the mold is vibrated back and forth relative to the mounting table in a horizontal direction parallel to the ground, generating localized friction in the functional layer.

[0169] Specifically, when the mold 2 grinds the first substrate 11, localized friction occurs between the first substrate 11 and the functional layer 12 due to continuous vibration and displacement. At the same time, the mounting table 3 vibrates at high frequency in a direction parallel to the mold 2, vibrating and displacing the second substrate 13. This causes localized friction between the second substrate 13 and the functional layer 12, which generates heat and increases the temperature. As a result, a portion of the functional layer adjacent to the mold is easily crushed and Mold They are pressed together on both sides, and at the same time the first and second substrates are locally melted near the mold.

[0170] In this embodiment, the structural strength of the switchable layer 122 is weaker than the structural strength of the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 123, so that due to local friction between the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13, a portion of the switchable layer 122 in the functional layer 12 is first removed by friction and is then pushed by the mold 2 to both sides in the grinding direction of the mold 2. Furthermore, a portion of the first conductive layer 121 and a portion of the second conductive layer 123 rub against each other and are torn apart, and are then pushed by the mold 2 to both sides in the grinding direction of the mold 2, thereby forming the groove structure 14.

[0171] S804: A groove structure is formed in the functional layer by local friction, and the first substrate and the second substrate come into contact with each other in a high-temperature molten state, and then cool and solidify to form a dense sealed structure.

[0172] The local temperatures of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13 rise rapidly due to continuous local friction, and after passing through their softening temperature, they reach their melting temperature and melt locally. The melted portion of the first substrate 11 flows to the second substrate 13 due to gravity and merges with the melted portion of the second substrate 13 to form a groove structure. The melted portions of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13 cool and solidify to form a sealed structure 15 that is firmly connected to the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13, thereby increasing the peel strength of the entire structure of the light control component 1.

[0173] Peel strength refers to the maximum force required to peel two adhered materials from their contact surfaces at a unit width. For example, in this embodiment, before forming the sealing structure 15, the peel strength of the switchable component 1 is 0.059 N / mm at a peel angle of 180°. After forming the sealing structure 15, the peel strength of the switchable component 1 at the sealing structure 15 is 2.5 N / mm at the same peel angle, which is a 50-fold increase in peel strength.

[0174] In this embodiment, step S804 is completed within 0.01 to 100 milliseconds by adjusting parameters such as the grinding speed of the mold 2 and the vibration frequency of the mounting table 3. As can be seen, for example, the time required for step S804 can be shortened by increasing the grinding speed of the mold 2 and the vibration frequency of the mounting table 3. Conversely, the time required for step S804 can be lengthened by decreasing the grinding speed of the mold 2 and the vibration frequency of the mounting table 3. The present application is not limited to this, and adjustments may be made according to actual conditions.

[0175] S805: Form at least one complete sealing structure on the outer edge of the light control component to complete the edge sealing.

[0176] Specifically, in this embodiment, the movement of the photochromic component 1 is driven by the rolling of the mold 2, and the above steps can be repeated on different parts of the photochromic component 1 to form multiple continuous sealing structures 15. The continuous sealing structures 15 are integrally formed, connecting the boundaries of both opposing sides of the photochromic component 1 in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction, thereby completing edge sealing. In another possible embodiment, the above steps may be repeated on the other side of the photochromic component 1 to form another sealing structure 15 connecting the boundaries of both opposing sides of the photochromic component 1 in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction. As can be seen, the functional layers 12 located between adjacent sealing structures 15 are protected by the sealing structures 15, preventing damage to the functional layers 12 by gases or solvents in the external environment.

[0177] In this embodiment, the sealing structure 15 is substantially transparent or translucent. When the light switchable component 1 is in a power-off state, the PDLC is a high-haze opaque film, and the SPD and EC are colored films. Therefore, the manufacturing method for the light switchable component according to the present application provides a high degree of visualization, and the integrity and reliability of the edge seal can be determined based on characteristics such as the transparency of the sealing structure 15 of the light switchable component 1.

[0178] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the first substrate 11 is melted at a high temperature, flows into and fills the groove structure 14, and then cooled and solidified to form the sealing structure 15. The sealing structure 15 is firmly connected to the second substrate 13, which increases the peel strength of the light control component 1. At the same time, the light control component 1 has a relatively uniform surface structure and a relatively high overall strength, making it less susceptible to damage.

[0179] In one possible embodiment, the distance between the mold 2 and the mounting table 3 is smaller than the thickness of the light-adjusting component 1 in the stacking direction.

[0180] Specifically, the distance between the mold 2 and the mounting table 3 is smaller than the thickness in the stacking direction of the light control component 1. As a result, the mold 2 applies a pressing force to the first base 11, and at the same time, the mounting table 3 applies a pressing force to the second base 13; that is, the light control component 1 is sandwiched between the mold 2 and the mounting table 3.

[0181] As can be seen, the smaller the distance between the mold 2 and the mounting table 3, the greater the pressing force of the mold 2 against the first substrate 11, and the greater the pressing force of the mounting table 3 against the second substrate 13. The smaller the distance between the mold 2 and the mounting table 3, the better the local friction effect on the functional layer 12 by the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13. However, to prevent the pressing force of the mold 2 and the mounting table 3 from damaging the photochromic component 1, it is undesirable for the distance between the mold 2 and the mounting table 3 to be too small. In this embodiment, the difference between the thickness of the photochromic component 1 in the stacking direction and the distance between the mold 2 and the mounting table 3 corresponds to the strength threshold, which may vary depending on the stacking structure and material of the photochromic component 1, and is not limited thereto in the present application.

[0182] In one possible embodiment, the stage 3 vibrates at a high frequency, with a frequency range of 20 KHz to 40 KHz.

[0183] Specifically, the second substrate 13 vibrates as it is moved by the mounting table 3, which vibrates at a high frequency, causing local friction with the functional layer 12. As can be seen, the vibration frequency of the mounting table 3 affects the degree of local friction between the second substrate 13 and the functional layer 12.

[0184] In this embodiment, the vibration frequency range of the mounting table 3 is 20 KHz to 40 KHz. Preferably, the vibration frequency range of the mounting table 3 is 27 KHz to 36 KHz. Specifically, the vibration frequency of the mounting table 3 may be 29 KHz, 31 KHz, 35 KHz, etc., and is not limited thereto in the present application.

[0185] In one possible embodiment, the mold 2 has at least one mold 21 arranged around the outside of the mold 2, and the width of the mold 21 arranged around the mold 2 is in the range of 0.2 mm to 10 mm.

[0186] Specifically, the grinding of the first substrate 11 by the mold 2 is achieved mainly by localized friction between the mold 21 and the first substrate 11; that is, the formation and shape of the groove structure 14 are both related to the mold 21. The width formed by the mold 21 surrounding the mold 2 directly affects the size of the hole diameter of the groove structure 14. In this embodiment, the width formed by the mold 21 surrounding the mold 2 ranges from 0.2 mm to 10 mm. Preferably, the width formed by the mold 21 surrounding the mold 2 ranges from 0.5 mm to 3 mm. More preferably, the width formed by the mold 21 surrounding the mold 2 ranges from 0.8 mm to 2.6 mm. Specifically, the width formed by the mold 21 surrounding the mold 2 may be 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, etc. As long as the groove structure 14 does not affect the permeability of the molten portion of the first substrate 11 or the second substrate 13, the present application is not limited thereto.

[0187] As shown in Fig. 56, when the number of molds 21 is two or more, the molds 21 are spaced apart to form groove structures 14 of different shapes, and thus sealing structures 15 of different shapes can be formed. In addition, among the molds 21, at least one mold 21 locally rubs against the first substrate 11, and another mold 21 rubs against the second substrate 12. 13 The groove structure 14 may be locally rubbed against the mold 21. As can be seen, the shape of the mold 21 affects the shape of the groove structure 14. A single mold 21 may be provided with at least one parallel concave-convex pattern on the outside of the mold. The concave-convex pattern may be a simple pattern such as a rectangle or circle, or a complex pattern such as ruffles, sawtooth, or tire texture, which can enhance the shape of the sealing structure 15 ultimately formed within the groove structure 14. The groove structure may have one channel, two channels, or more channels. When two or more channels are present, it is preferable that at least one channel is continuous and complete. Furthermore, the mold 21 may have a special shape, such as one or more tooth marks (e.g., like a tire texture), and the tooth marks may be continuous, discontinuous, or alternately arranged. This is advantageous for forming a sealing structure 15 with relatively strong peel strength and edge sealing strength. The present application is not limited thereto.

[0188] In one possible embodiment, the groove structure 14 penetrates the functional layer 12 and communicates with the surface of the functional layer 12 closer to the first substrate 11 and / or the surface of the functional layer 12 closer to the second substrate 13.

[0189] In one possible embodiment, referring again to FIG. 54, the recessed groove structure 14 comprises a step structure or a trench structure. The light control member further includes a dam structure located on an outer periphery of the groove structure, " On the outer edge of the dimming component After "forming at least one sealing structure to complete edge sealing," the manufacturing method for the light control component further includes step S806, and the detailed description of step S806 is as follows.

[0190] S806: groove Structure Located on the peripheryThe dam structure is cut away to form a step structure. Specifically, the dam structure 16 may be cut away, which reduces the volume occupied by the light control component 1, particularly when manufacturing a frameless laminated light control glass that is not printed with a black edge (but is not limited to this), and as a result, the light control component 1 can be integrated into a laminated glass, other component, or structure that has fewer edges that do not require light control.

[0191] In one possible embodiment, the mold 2 is made of a metal material. Specifically, the mold 2 is made of a metal material, which generally has excellent heat dissipation properties and strength. As can be understood, on the one hand, when the first substrate 11 is processed using the mold 2, a lot of heat is generated due to friction. If the mold 2 is made of a metal material, it can dissipate heat better, which is advantageous for the process to proceed continuously. On the other hand, the mold 2 needs to have a certain degree of strength to process the first substrate 11. Generally, metal materials have relatively high strength, which is advantageous for processing the first substrate 11 using the mold 2.

[0192] In one possible embodiment, referring again to Figure 49, the groove structure 14 penetrates the functional layer 12 and communicates with the surface of the functional layer 12 closer to the first substrate 11 and / or the surface of the functional layer 12 closer to the second substrate 13.

[0193] Specifically, the groove structure 14 is connected to the surface of the functional layer 12 closer to the first substrate 11 and the surface of the functional layer 12 closer to the second substrate 13, thereby forming a fault structure on the side of the first conductive layer 121, the photochromic layer 122, and the second conductive layer 123 adjacent to the groove structure 14. In the prior art, it is possible to cut the photochromic component 1 using a laser beam or a mechanical device, which often causes a short circuit between the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 123, and therefore a process of destroying the short-circuited portion with a high voltage is also required.

[0194] As can be understood, in this embodiment, a fault structure is formed on the side of the first conductive layer 121, the dimming layer 122, and the second conductive layer 123 adjacent to the groove structure 14, thereby avoiding the possibility of a short circuit occurring between the first conductive layer 121 and the second conductive layer 123 and eliminating the manufacturing process of the dimming component 1.

[0195] In one possible embodiment, the thickness range of the first substrate 11 and the thickness range of the second substrate 13 in the stacking direction are each 30 μm to 200 μm. The functional layer 12 includes a first conductive layer 121, a light control layer 122, and a second conductive layer 123, which are stacked in this order. The thickness range of the first conductive layer 121 and the thickness range of the second conductive layer 123 in the stacking direction are each 0.1 μm to 5 μm, and the sheet resistance range is 5 to 200 Ω / □. The thickness range of the light control layer 122 in the stacking direction is 1 μm to 20 μm.

[0196] The light control component 1 is usually applied to glass. To prevent the overall thickness of the glass from becoming too large, in this embodiment, the thickness range of the first substrate 11 and the thickness range of the second substrate 13 in the stacking direction are each 30 μm to 200 μm. In the stacking direction, the thickness range of the first substrate 11 and the thickness range of the second substrate 13 are preferably 45 μm to 185 μm. Specifically, the thickness of the first substrate 11 and the thickness of the second substrate 13 in the stacking direction may be 50 μm, 100 μm, 180 μm, etc., but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0197] Specifically, the thickness range of the first conductive layer 121 and the thickness range of the second conductive layer 123 in the stacking direction are each 0.1 μm to 5 μm. Preferably, the thickness range of the first conductive layer 121 and the thickness range of the second conductive layer 123 in the stacking direction are each 0.5 μm to 3 μm. Specifically, the thickness of the first conductive layer 121 and the thickness of the second conductive layer 123 in the stacking direction may be 1 μm, 1.7 μm, 2.4 μm, or the like. Note that in other possible embodiments, the thickness of the first conductive layer 121 and the thickness of the second conductive layer 123 in the stacking direction may be different. This is not a limitation of the present application.

[0198] In this embodiment, when the material of the light switchable component 1 is PDLC, the thickness of the light switchable layer 122 in the stacking direction ranges from 10 μm to 20 μm. When the material of the light switchable component 1 is SPD or EC, the thickness of the light switchable layer 122 in the stacking direction ranges from 1 μm to 20 μm. Preferably, the thickness of the light switchable layer 122 in the stacking direction ranges from 4 μm to 18 μm, and more specifically, the thickness of the light switchable layer 122 in the stacking direction may be 7 μm, 9 μm, 13 μm, etc. The present application is not limited to this.

[0199] In one possible embodiment, the material of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13 is any one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and polycarbonate (PC).

[0200] Specifically, PET, PMMA, and PC are all polymer materials with excellent thermoplasticity. Preferably, the material of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13 is PET. As can be seen, because the materials of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13 are polymer materials with excellent thermoplasticity, the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13 are melted well due to local friction, integrated with each other through the groove structure 14, and formed into a sealed structure 15 after cooling and solidifying.

[0201] As can be understood, in other possible embodiments, the materials of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 13 may be other materials, and the present application is not limited thereto as long as they do not affect the formation of the sealing structure 15.

[0202] The present application further provides a light-transmitting assembly 4. Please also refer to FIG. 57. FIG. 57 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a light-transmitting assembly according to a ninth embodiment of the present application. The light-transmitting assembly 4 includes a first light-transmitting member 41, a second light-transmitting member 42, and the above-described light-adjusting member 1. The light-adjusting member 1 is sandwiched between the first light-transmitting member 41 and the second light-transmitting member 42.

[0203] Specifically, the above description of the light-adjusting member 1 can be referred to, and therefore, the description will not be repeated here. 43 The first light-transmissive member 41 is connected to the first base 11 of the light-adjusting member 1 via a connecting portion 43, and the second light-transmissive member 42 is connected to the second base 13 of the light-adjusting member 1 via a connecting portion 43. The first light-transmissive member or the second light-transmissive member may be made of inorganic glass, organic glass, or a combination of the two.

[0204] In this embodiment, polyvinyl butyral (PVB) material is used as the material of the connecting portion 43. As can be seen, the light-adjusting component 1 is applied to the light-transmitting assembly 4 and has a relatively strong peel strength, allowing it to be firmly fixed to the light-transmitting assembly 4. The light-adjusting component 1 has a relatively uniform laminated structure, which makes the overall strength relatively high and less likely to be damaged, and also improves the appearance of the light-transmitting component 4.

[0205] It should be noted that the prior art requires the addition of materials such as plasticizers to adhesive layers, such as PVB, in light-transmitting assemblies to improve the performance of polymeric materials. When a light-controlling component is made of PDLC material, the addition of materials such as plasticizers causes a 3-15 mm portion of the outer edge of the component to lose its light-controlling function, i.e., to become transparent and lose its light-controlling function. This portion also expands over time. Even when materials without plasticizers are used, for example, after lamination using EVA, the component deteriorates by 2-12 mm under high-temperature conditions. The prior art also requires edge-sealing the light-controlling component and then subjecting it to a heat aging test at a high temperature of 110°C for 1,000 hours. Experiments have shown that light-controlling components manufactured using the method for manufacturing a light-controlling component of the present application lose their light-controlling function only in a portion of the outer edge of approximately 1 mm, and only in a portion not exceeding 0.9 mm, without the problem of further expansion. This is a significant improvement over the prior art and provides superior technical effects.

[0206] The present application further provides a vehicle 5. Please also refer to Fig. 58. Fig. 58 is a schematic plan view of a vehicle according to a tenth embodiment of the present application. The vehicle 5 uses the above-described light-transmitting assembly 4.

[0207] The vehicle 5 typically further includes a frame 51. The light-transmitting assembly 4 is mounted on and attached to the frame 51. For details about the light-transmitting assembly 4, please refer to the above description, and therefore further description will be omitted here.

[0208] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, the above embodiments are merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the present application. Those skilled in the art may make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present application. These improvements and adaptations should also fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
