Abstract

A glass product having a glass piece, an adhesive layer, and a switchable film having variable light transmission sequentially including: a first base layer, a first electrode, a functional layer, a second base layer, and a second electrode. The second base layer is positioned between the functional layer and the second electrode.

Claims (17)

1. A glass product, comprising:

a glass piece; and

a switchable film having variable light transmission adhered to the glass piece by an adhesive layer, wherein the switchable film has a structure of:

a first base layer,

a first electrode,

a functional layer,

a second base layer, and

a second electrode including a laminate of a conductive layer and a dielectric layer, the second electrode providing a low-emissivity coating,

wherein the second base layer is positioned between the functional layer and the second electrode, wherein the second electrode is disposed at an outer surface of the glass product.

2. The glass product according to claim 1 , wherein the functional layer is a liquid crystal layer.

3. The glass product according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrode includes a protective coating layer.

4. The glass product according to claim 3 , wherein the protective coating layer includes an inorganic oxide.

5. The glass product according to claim 3 , wherein the protective coating layer includes an inorganic nitride.

6. The glass product according to any one of claims 1 , wherein the first electrode and the second electrode include a metal oxide.

7. The glass product according to claim 6 , wherein the first electrode and the second electrode include indium tin oxide.

8. The glass product according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer includes silver.

9. The glass product according to claim 1 , wherein a normal level of emission of the low-emissivity coating at 283 K is of 0.3 or less.
