Abstract

An electronic device includes a first substrate, a first electrode, a second substrate, a second electrode, an electrochromic material layer, a sealant, and a light shielding pattern layer. The first electrode is disposed on the first substrate. The second electrode is disposed on the second substrate. The electrochromic material layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The sealant is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and surrounds the electrochromic material layer. The light shielding pattern layer is disposed on the first substrate. The light shielding pattern layer shields the sealant and a little portion of the electrochromic material layer near the sealant. The first electrode disposed on the first substrate and the second electrode disposed on the second substrate are not electrically connected to each other.

Claims (20)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first substrate;

a first electrode disposed on the first substrate;

a second substrate opposite to the first substrate;

a second electrode disposed on the second substrate;

an electrochromic material layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the electrochromic material layer is enabled by the first electrode and the second electrode;

a sealant disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and surrounding the electrochromic material layer; and

a light shielding pattern layer disposed on the first substrate and shielding the sealant and a portion of the electrochromic material layer, wherein the first electrode disposed on the first substrate and the second electrode disposed on the second substrate are not electrically connected to each other, wherein the light shielding pattern layer is located between the first electrode and the sealant, the light shielding pattern layer is made of an insulating material and has a through hole, the through hole and the sealant are staggered, the through hole and the electrochromic material layer are staggered;

a conductive material filling the through hole of the light shielding pattern layer; and

a first conductor disposed between the light shielding pattern layer and the second substrate and located at peripheries of the sealant, wherein the first conductor is electrically connected to the first electrode through the conductive material filling the through hole of the light shielding pattern layer.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding pattern layer completely shields the sealant.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding pattern layer is made of a light reflective material, a non-transparent non-light-reflective material, or a fluorescent material.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding pattern layer is located between the first substrate and the sealant.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an insulator disposed between the first conductor and the second electrode to electrically insulate the first conductor from the second electrode.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an insulator disposed between the first conductor and the second electrode to electrically insulate the first conductor from the second electrode.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second conductor disposed between the light shielding pattern layer and the second substrate and located at peripheries of the sealant, wherein the second conductor is electrically connected to the second electrode.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first electrode is a transparent electrode, and the second electrode is a reflective electrode.
