Abstract
AbstractFuturistic and high‐performance windows are required to perform multiple functions, occasionally including photo‐ and electricity‐associated functions. For each function, suitable components must be added, but this might result in complicated window structures that can impede the basic window function: high visibility. Therefore, platform technology is necessary to simplify window structures with minimal components for basic functions while adding specific desirable functions. This study proposes non‐close‐packed indium tin oxide (ITO) photonic crystals coated on both sides of rigid and flexible windows. Their photonic bandgap frequencies (stopbands) are tunable through the modulation of the ITO thickness or lattice constant, thereby manipulating the window light transmittances. When the stopband lies in bluelight (400–500 nm), the window can simultaneously block the bluelight and exhibit high transmittance (antireflection function) at 500–1500 nm. The dual functions are enhanced with double‐sided photonic crystal windows: the optical contrasts in solar irradiance transmittances (ΔTsol) between 500–1500 and 280–500 nm are maximally 37.1% and 47.2% for the glass and polyimide windows, respectively. Additionally, the windows can have dual stopbands. Moreover, the window stopbands can enhance the photoluminescence intensities of quantum dot films. This simplistic window is applicable to houses/buildings, automobiles, electronics, displays, and energy industries.
