Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a timepiece with a solar cell free from an interference fringe and wetting phenomenon even if a windshield glass is in contact with a solar cell. CONSTITUTION:This timepiece contains a solar cell as primary power source. A windshield glass 1 fixed on a shell 5, a solar cell 3 laminated flatly on the windshield glass 1 and a gap formed between the windshield glass 1 and the solar cell 3 by printing, sealing, etc., are arranged to obtain a timepiece with a solar cell which is easy to view with the prevention of light interference.

The windshield warps and contacts the solar cell due to processing distortions and the like that occur when the windshield is fixed to the body. Further, due to the change in atmospheric pressure, the vicinity of the center of the windshield is bent, and the solar cell and the windshield may further contact with each other. When both of them come into contact with each other, interference fringes (Newton's ring) and wetting phenomenon occur around the contact portion, resulting in a very bad appearance. Further, it is expected that the solar cell fixed to the body will be heated up and contact the windshield for a long period of time due to the reaction force of the lead spring.
