    Abstract: A roller curtain includes two suspending curtain sheets controlled by a curtain-controlling reel to move up and down, several layers of transverse curtain sheets interconnected between the suspending curtain sheets at intervals, and two weights disposed at lower ends of the suspending curtain sheets. Each transverse curtain sheet includes an upper sheet and a lower sheet. Two sides of the upper and lower sheets are bent to form different shading areas of sunlight shading fabric faces. The upper sheet is overlaid on the lower sheet and the sunlight shading fabric faces are sown on the two suspending curtain sheets at different heights to define a receiving space for placing therein a nontransparent sunlight shading fabric layer. When shading the sunlight, the suspending curtain sheets get closer to and attach to each other and the transverse curtain sheets become upright to shade the sunlight.
