Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a sun visor comprising: a supporting portion ( 1 ); a liquid crystal panel ( 5 ) fixed onto the supporting portion, or provided integrally with the supporting portion; a first light barrier ( 4 ) at least including two kinds of state: expanded and storage, wherein the first light barrier is parallel with the liquid crystal panel when in the expanded state, and an orthographic projection of the liquid crystal panel on the first light barrier falls into the first light barrier; a photosensitive sensor ( 8 ) for detecting an intensity of an interference light; and a control circuit connected with the photosensitive sensor and the liquid crystal panel, for adjusting a driving voltage with respect to the liquid crystal panel according to a detection result of the photosensitive sensor.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sun visor comprising:
a supporting portion;
a liquid crystal panel fixed onto the supporting portion, or provided integrally with the supporting portion;
a first light barrier at least including an expanded state and a storage state, wherein the first light barrier is parallel or approximately parallel with the liquid crystal panel when in the expanded state, and an orthographic projection of the liquid crystal panel on the first light barrier falls into the first light barrier;
a photosensitive sensor configured for detecting an intensity of an interference light; and
a control circuit connected with the photosensitive sensor and the liquid crystal panel, and configured for adjusting a driving voltage of the liquid crystal panel according to a detection result of the photosensitive sensor,
a second light barrier which is parallel with the liquid crystal panel when in an expanded state;
a second shaft fixed to the first side of the supporting portion, located on a side of the liquid crystal panel close to a user, and being parallel with the liquid crystal panel;
wherein a side of the second light barrier is fixed onto the second shaft, and is capable of being stretched in a direction parallel with the liquid crystal panel and contracted onto the second shaft in a windable manner.

2. The sun visor according to claim 1 , further comprising a light source fixed onto the supporting portion, wherein the light source is interposed between the first light barrier and the liquid crystal panel; and
a side of the first light barrier close to the liquid crystal panel comprises a reflective layer.

3. The sun visor according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first shaft fixed to a first side of the supporting portion, located at a side of the liquid crystal panel facing away from a user and being parallel with the second shaft;
a side of the first light barrier is fixed onto the first shaft, and is capable of being stretched in a direction parallel with the liquid crystal Panel and contracted onto the first shaft in a windable manner.

4. The sun visor according to claim 3 , wherein:
orthographic projections of the first shaft and the second shaft on the liquid crystal panel in a radial direction do not overlap with each other.

5. The sun visor according to claim 1 , wherein the first light barrier further comprises a first fixing member,
wherein the first fixing member is arranged on a side opposite to the side of the first light barrier fixed onto the first shaft, for fixing the side opposite to the side of the first light barrier fixed onto the first shaft, onto a second side of the supporting portion, when the first light barrier is in the expanded state.

6. The sun visor according to claim 5 , wherein the second side of the supporting portion is provided with a first groove, such that the first fixing member sticks into the first groove when the first light barrier is in the expanded state.

7. The sun visor according to claim 1 , wherein the second light barrier further comprises a second fixing member,
wherein the second fixing member is arranged on a side opposite to the side of the second light barrier fixed onto the second shaft, for fixing the side opposite to the side of the second light barrier fixed onto the second shaft, onto a second side of the supporting portion, when the second light barrier is in the expanded state.

8. The sun visor according to claim 7 , wherein the second side of the supporting portion is provided with a second groove, such that the second fixing member sticks into the second groove when the second light barrier is in the expanded state.

9. The sun visor according to claim 1 , wherein the first light barrier and the second light barrier are flexible.

10. The sun visor according to claim 4 , wherein the first light barrier and the second light barrier are flexible.

11. The sun visor according to claim 2 , wherein the first light barrier and the second light barrier are flexible.

12. The sun visor according to claim 3 , wherein the first light barrier and the second light barrier are flexible.

13. The sun visor according to claim 5 , wherein the first light barrier and the second light barrier are flexible.

14. The sun visor according to claim 6 , wherein the first light barrier and the second light barrier are flexible.
