Title: Innovations of Diego Fischer in Photovoltaic Technology
Introduction
Diego Fischer is an innovative inventor based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. He has made significant contributions to the field of photovoltaic technology, particularly in the design of solar cells that can be aesthetically integrated into consumer products.
Latest Patents
Fischer holds two notable patents. The first patent is for a "Photovoltaic cell having a colored appearance, particularly for a watch dial." This invention describes a colored photovoltaic cell made with a semiconductor, preferably silicon, which boasts high efficiency and an appealing colored appearance. This design allows it to be utilized as a dial for watches or other electronic devices powered by the cell. The cell features a reflective metal substrate serving as the bottom electrode, a stack of hydrogenated amorphous silicon layers forming p-i-n junctions, and a transparent top electrode. The top electrode may be coated with a layer of slightly diffusing lacquer, which can be either colorless or colored. The thicknesses of the top electrode and silicon are optimized based on the refractive indices of the materials to create an interferential reflection in a predetermined spectrum.
The second patent is titled "Dial formed of a solar cell in particular for a timepiece." This invention concerns a dial for timepieces that is formed of a solar cell. It includes a substrate and a plurality of superposed layers defining at least one n-i-p or p-i-n element. A conductive layer forms a first electrode that is exposed to luminous radiation, characterized by being formed of a partially reflective metal layer.
