Solar panel, electronic instrument, and electronic timepiece
A solar panel is provided on a visible side of a display panel and includes a transmissive area, a power generator and an anti-reflector. The transmissive area transmits light. The power generator generates electric power from light. The anti-reflector is provided on a display-panel-facing surface of the power generator to prevent reflection of light on the power generator. The display-panel-facing surface of the power generator faces the display panel. The light, the reflection of which is prevented by the anti-reflector, is among light having passed through the transmissive area and been reflected by the display panel.
1. A solar panel that is provided on a visible side of a display panel, comprising:
a transmissive area that transmits light;
a power generator that generates electric power from light and includes a first power generator having at least a transmissive power generation area at a part corresponding to a display area of the display panel and a second power generator not having the transmissive power generation area; and
an anti-reflector that is provided on a display-panel-facing surface of the power generator facing the display panel to prevent reflection of light on the power generator, the light being among light having passed through the transmissive area and been reflected by the display panel,
wherein a square measure of the first power generator is larger than a square measure of the second power generator.
2. The solar panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in the transmissive power generation area of the first power generator, a thin-line power generator that is a power generator formed in a shape of a line is provided, and
wherein the anti-reflector is formed on the display-panel-facing surface of the thin-line power generator.
3. The solar panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the anti-reflector is a light absorber formed on the display-panel facing surface of the power generator.
4. The solar panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the anti-reflector is a light diffuser that is the display-panel-facing surface of the power generator having been subjected to a process to diffuse light.
5. The solar panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the anti-reflector has been subjected to a process to prevent specular reflection of light on the display-panel-facing surface of the power generator.
6. The solar panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the anti-reflector has been subjected to a process to make a reflectance of light in a range from 400 nm to 800 nm 40% or less.
7. An electronic device comprising:
the solar panel according to claim 1 ;
the display panel that is provided on an invisible side of the solar panel; and
a body case that houses the solar panel and the display panel.
8. An electronic timepiece comprising:
the solar panel according to claim 1 ;
the display panel that is provided on an invisible side of the solar panel; and
a body case that houses the solar panel and the display panel.
9. The solar panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein a partition area is provided between the first power generator and the second power generator to separate the first power generator and the second power generator, and
wherein the partition area has a width substantially equal to a width of the transmissive area.
10. The solar panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second power generator is disposed at a part not corresponding to the display area of the display panel.
11. The solar panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the square measure of the first power generator is a sum of a square measure of the transmissive power generation area and a square measure of a power generation area that is not the transmissive power generation area.
12. The solar panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second power generator is not provided with the anti-reflector.
