Publication number: 20130178009Abstract: An ultrahigh durability solar cell module that can be used semi-permanently, with an ultrahigh durability transparent substrate, solar cell element and filler, wherein the solar cell element and a liquid substance or a gel obtained by reacting the liquid substance as the filler, are sealed by a fast sealed structure comprising a high durability crosslinking reactive adhesive provided between a glass panel and back side protective substrate, and a hot-melt adhesive. The module is produced by placing the sealing compound, solar cell element and liquid substance on the glass panel and finally laying the back side protective substrate to form a provisional laminated body, and then compression bonding the provisional laminated body at room temperature in a vacuum for sealing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2013Publication date: July 11, 2013Applicant: Affinity Co., Ltd.Inventor: Haruo Watanabe

Patent number: 7163726Abstract: There are provided laminated bodies or laminated body-containing windows, which comprise isotropic aqueous solutions obtained by dissolving a water-soluble polysaccharide derivative having nonionic amphipathic functional groups in an aqueous medium composed of water and an amphipathic substance, laminated between plates that are at least partially transparent and allow direct vision of the isotropic aqueous solutions, wherein there are added to the isotropic aqueous solutions in appropriate amounts ultraviolet absorbers comprising nonionic or ionic benzophenone derivatives or benzotriazole derivatives which are highly weather resistant and uniformly dissolve in the isotropic aqueous solutions. The isotropic aqueous solutions are transparent and become opaque upon irradiation with light, and exhibit stable reversible change, in order to provide vastly improved weather resistance to the laminated bodies against exposure to sunlight rays over prolonged periods of time.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2003Date of Patent: January 16, 2007Assignee: Affinity Co, Ltd.Inventor: Haruo Watanabe

Patent number: 6020989Abstract: A laminated body comprising an aqueous solution, in which molecules dissolved in water aggregate upon increasing temperature to demonstrate cloudy light-scattering resulting in decrease in light transmittance, sealed between two substrates which are at least partially transparent to allow direct visibility of said aqueous solution, wherein said aqueous solution comprises 0.5 to 45 parts by weight of an amphipathic substance which exhibits a clouding point, is an oil at room temperature and dissolves uniformly in water at room temperature, dissolved in 100 parts by weight of a solution of 0.5 to 40 parts by weight of an ionic water-soluble polymer or a vinyl-based non-ionic water-soluble polymer exhibiting no clouding point at a temperature of not higher than about 45.degree. C. in 100 parts by weight of water, and said aqueous solution undergoes a temperature-dependent reversible sol-emulsion phase transition, as well as a window employing it.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 1998Date of Patent: February 1, 2000Assignee: Affinity Co., Ltd.Inventor: Haruo Watanabe
