Abstract

A glass structure includes a glass body; a modulating unit coupled to the glass body to modulate optical characteristics of the glass structure; an interaction unit coupled to the glass body to provide an adjusting signal indicating an execution of adjusting the optical characteristics of the glass structure; and a control unit coupled to the modulating unit and the interaction unit respectively, the control unit being configured to receive the adjusting signal from the interaction unit and to control the modulating unit to modulate the optical characteristics of a target region of the glass structure in response to the adjusting signal. The interaction unit and the modulating unit are isolated from each other by a filling material having a transmittance equal to or greater than about 50%, a relative permittivity equal to or less than about 10, and a thickness equal to or greater than about 50 μm.
