    摘要: A panel assembly for a window shade includes a first and a second elongate strip adjacent to each other that are bonded to a support sheet. Each elongate strip has a first and a second edge opposite to each other, and a main strip portion between a first and a second margin, the first and second margin respectively adjoining the main strip portion along a first and a second folding line, the first margin extending between the first folding line and the first edge, the second margin extending between the second folding line and the second edge, the second margin including a third folding line substantially parallel to the second folding line. The first margin is bonded to the support sheet, and the second margin is bonded to the support sheet or the second elongate strip at a margin portion between the third folding line and the second edge.

    摘要: This disclosure relates generally to optically-switchable devices, and more particularly, to systems, apparatus, and methods for controlling optically-switchable devices. In some implementations, the apparatus includes an interface for communicating with window controllers, and the apparatus includes one or more processors. A processor can be configured to cause status information received from a window controller to be processed. The status information can indicate at least a tint status of one or more optically-switchable devices controlled by the window controller. In response to receiving the status information, one or more tint commands can be sent via the interface to the window controller.

    摘要: A variable light transmittance sheet comprises a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode spaced apart from the first electrode, and between the electrodes an electrophoretic cell containing an electrophoretic ink and one or more non-planar solid polymer elements. In an embodiment, the electrophoretic ink includes charged particles in a suspending fluid, and 75% or more by mass of the suspending fluid is an organosilicone or an aliphatic hydrocarbon and the solid polymer is a fluorinated elastomeric polymer.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a privacy protection device that separates a first area and an opposite second area and is arranged to protect the second area from a view from the first area and to allow a view from the second area into the first area. The privacy protection device includes a brightness difference device having a first side facing the first area and a second side opposite to the first side facing the second area, wherein the first side of the brightness difference device is at least temporarily brighter than the second side of the brightness difference device, in that the first side, in contrast to the second side, is self-illuminating in the direction of the first area, and/or the first side has a higher reflectivity than the second side and the first side is illuminated by a lighting device integrated in the privacy protection device.

    摘要: A Roman blind incorporates an upper beam, a rolling tube, a Roman blind body, and a rolling body. Both ends of the rolling tube are connected to both ends of the upper beam respectively through a connection piece. An upper end of the rolling body is wound on the rolling tube. An upper end of the Roman blind body is fixed on the upper beam. A lower end of the rolling body ascends or descends synchronized with a lower end of the Roman blind body. A surface of the Roman blind body facing toward the rolling body includes a plurality of equally spaced limiting pieces. The lower end of the rolling body includes a drive piece cooperating with the limiting pieces to fold up the Roman blind body layer by layer from bottom up. The folding/unfolding of the Roman blind body is driven by the winding/unwinding of the rolling body, so that pull-rope-free winding/unwinding avoids potential safety hazards, the structure is simplified, the number of parts is small, assembly efficiency is higher, problems of the pull rope being easy to knot and to hook and break are solved, smoother usage is achieved, and the overall structure is neater and cleaner.
