Accordingly, the present application also provides a method of manufacturing a light valve, comprising:
providing solid light-controlling particles;
providing a suspension medium;

providing a polymer matrix precursor;
mixing an initiator for initiating crosslinking and curing of the polymer matrix precursor, a mixture of the suspension medium containing the solid light-controlling particles, the polymer matrix precursor and a solid additive to obtain a light-controlling layer matrix emulsion;

The relative rate of change Δ T of the light valve transmittance T is used to examine the crush resistance of the light valve.
And the relative change rate of delta T is [ (Ton before compression test Ton-Toff before compression test) - (Ton after compression test Ton-Toff after compression test) ]/(Ton before compression test Ton-Toff before compression test) x 100%, wherein Ton refers to the electrified light transmittance of the light valve, Toff refers to the non-electrified light transmittance of the light valve, and the electric field intensity of Ton before compression test is the same as that of Ton after compression test.
It is clear that a smaller value of the relative rate of change of deltat indicates a better pressure resistance of the light valve.
The transmittance of the light-modulating film was measured by an LS116 transmittance meter (Shenzhen Lin technologies Co., Ltd.). When no voltage is applied (off state), the light transmittance Toff of the light-adjusting film is 0.5%. When a 60 hz 220 v ac (on state) is applied, the total light transmittance Ton of the light-adjusting film is 63.2%.
And (3) compression resistance test:
the above-mentioned light-adjusting film was sandwiched between two sheets of glass, and a compression resistance test was performed in an autoclave. The test conditions were: and (3) vacuumizing for 10min at the temperature of 110 ℃, gradually pressurizing to 350kPa, delaying for 30min, then cooling to room temperature, and testing the change of the light transmittance of the light-adjusting film. When no voltage is applied (off state), the light transmittance Toff of the light-adjusting film is 0.6%. When a 60 hz 220 v ac (on state) is applied, the total light transmittance Ton of the light-adjusting film is 61.1%.

From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the comparative examples 1-9, compared to examples 7-14, 22, respectively, have unexpectedly significant performance in increasing the compressive strength of the light management layer by adding a solid additive, and the examples with the solid additive have much lower values of the relative rate of change of Δ T than the comparative examples without the solid additive. Can completely meet the requirement of the laminating process for subsequently manufacturing the dimming glass assembly.
In the above examples, the solid additives used were solid microspheres, and the dimensions in the table are the diameters of the solid microspheres. One skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other shapes of solid additives are possible. For example, the material can be any solid material which can play a role in resisting pressure, such as solid rods, solid particles, solid fibers and the like.
For example, the solid additive shape may be regular in shape, e.g. microspheres, but may of course also be non-regular in shape, such as irregular polyhedra.
In addition, the solid particles may be polyhedral solid particles in addition to microspheres.
In addition, in terms of materials, spherical solid particles include oxide microspheres or polymer microspheres.
In addition, the solid fibers may be glass fibers, polymer fibers.
The inventors have found that the crush resistance is achieved over a relatively wide range of sizes for the solid additive.
