TRANSPARENT ANTENNA AND ACTIVE DIMMING LAYER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240272507 titled 'TRANSPARENT ANTENNA AND ACTIVE DIMMING LAYER
The patent application describes a system with two transparent conductive active dimming (AD) layers on separate substrates, with an insulative layer in between, and an antenna feed connected to the first AD layer. A controller is included to manage power to both AD layers.
- First transparent conductive AD layer on first transparent substrate with minimum electrical conductivity threshold
- Second transparent conductive AD layer on second transparent substrate with lower electrical conductivity but meeting minimum optical performance characteristics
- Insulative layer between the two AD layers
- Antenna feed connected to first AD layer
- Controller for power management of both AD layers
Potential Applications: - Smart windows - Electronic displays - Touchscreens
Problems Solved: - Efficient control of transparency and conductivity - Enhanced optical performance
Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency - Enhanced user experience - Versatile applications in various electronic devices
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Transparent Conductive Active Dimming System for Smart Windows and Displays" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for smart windows, in consumer electronics for displays, and in architectural applications for smart glass.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system manage power to the two AD layers? 2. What are the key differences between the first and second AD layers in terms of electrical conductivity and optical performance?
Original Abstract Submitted
a system may include a first transparent conductive active dimming (ad) layer deposited on a first transparent substrate. the first transparent conductive ad layer may include a minimum threshold level of electrical conductivity. the system may also include a second, different transparent conductive ad layer deposited on a second transparent substrate. the second transparent conductive ad layer may include a level of electrical conductivity that is below the minimum threshold level and may meet at least a minimum set of optical performance characteristics. the system may further include an insulative layer positioned between the first transparent conductive layer and the second transparent conductive layer, as well as an antenna feed connected to at least the first transparent conductive ad layer. the system may also include a controller configured to control power to the first and second transparent conductive ad layers. various other apparatuses and mobile electronic devices are also disclosed.
