  • Patent number: 11078722
    Abstract: A screen (1) is provided comprising at least a first and a second elongate guidance element (27, 28) extending in a first direction (D1) and a structured foil (10) with a front surface and a back surface, having a variable length (L) in a first direction (D1) carried by the elongate guidance elements. The screen has slat shaped portions (11a1+11a2, 11b1+11b2) and connection portions (12ab, 2ab?) bridging the slat shaped portions. The slat shaped portions, which extend in a second direction (D2) transverse to the first direction are provided with photovoltaic elements (20) that are connectable to external terminals for supply of electric energy. The slate shaped portions are slidably coupled with the guidance elements, to allow them to slide in said first direction along said guidance elements.

  • Patent number: 6929862
    Abstract: A coated substrate, especially a glass substrate, such coated substrate having high photocatalytic activity and low visible light reflection as well as being highly abrasion resistant. Preferably, the coating is a titanium oxide coating, the photolytic activity is greater than 5×10?3 cm?1min?1, and coating side visible light reflection is 35% or lower.

  • Patent number: 6840061
    Abstract: A process for the production of a photocatalytically active self-cleaning coated substrate, especially a glass substrate, which comprises depositing a titanium oxide coating on the surface of the substrate by contacting it with a fluid mixture containing a source of titanium and a source of oxygen, the substrate being at a temperature of at least 600° C. The coated surface has good durability, a high photocatalytic activity and a low visible light reflection. Most preferably the deposition temperature is in the range 645° C. to 7200° C. which provides especially good durability. The fluid mixture preferably contains titanium chloride and an ester, especially ethyl acetate. Also disclosed is a self cleaning coated substrate, especially a glass substrate, having high photocatalytic activity and low visible light reflection and a durable self-cleaning coated glass.
