Optical component e.g. smart glass, for use on roof of vehicle, has fluid layer arranged on electrode, and another electrode arranged on fluid layer, where electrodes are formed as inert metallic grid

摘要

The component (1) has an electrode (4) arranged on a transparent carrier layer (2), and a fluid layer (6) provided with suspended particles and arranged on the electrode. Another electrode (5) is arranged on the fluid layer, and another carrier layer (3) is arranged on the latter electrode. The electrodes are formed as an inert metallic grid and made of silver and/or copper material. The carrier layers are made of plastic material such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate or poly ethylene terephthalate, and/or glasses. The electrodes are formed as a reflective layer. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing an optical component.
