Definitions
- the invention relates to a functional element with electrically controllable optical properties, a composite pane with functional element and in particular a windshield or a roof window of a vehicle with electrically controllable sun visor.
- composite panels with electrically controllable functional elements are often used for sun protection or for visual protection.
- windshields are known in which a sun visor is integrated in the form of a functional element with electrically controllable optical properties.
- the functional elements are usually film-like and are laminated or glued to a composite pane.
- the driver can control the transmission behavior of the pane itself with respect to solar radiation. So can be dispensed with a conventional mechanical sun visor. As a result, the weight of the vehicle can be reduced and space is gained in the roof area.
- the electric control of the sun visor for the driver is more comfortable than the manual folding down the mechanical sun visor.
- Windshields with such electrically controllable sun visors are known, for example, from DE 102013001334 A1, DE 102005049081 B3, DE 102005007427 A1 and DE 102007027296 A1.
- Typical electrically controllable functional elements are variously described in the prior art, for example in EP 3 085 530 A1, WO 2014/086555 A1, WO 2007/122429 A1, WO 2007/122428 A1, WO 201 1/033313 A1, WO 2014/023475 A1 WO 2007/122427 A1, WO 2012/009399 A1, WO 2010/032068 A1 and WO 2014/072137 A1 and contain, for example, electrochromic layer structures or single particle device (SPD) films.
- SPD single particle device
- Further possible functional elements for the realization of an electrically controllable sunscreen are so-called PDLC functional elements (polymer dispersed liquid crystal). Their active layer contains liquid crystals which are incorporated in a polymer matrix.
- the liquid crystals are aligned disorderly, resulting in a strong scattering of the active layer passing light leads. If a voltage is applied to the surface electrodes, the liquid crystals align in a common direction and the transmission of light through the active layer is increased.
- the PDLC functional element acts less by reducing the overall transmission, but by increasing the dispersion to ensure glare protection.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved functional element with electrically controllable optical properties, which is improved in particular with regard to its aging resistance.
- the object of the present invention is achieved by a functional element according to independent claim 1. Preferred embodiments will become apparent from the dependent claims.

- the transmission of this area in the visible spectral range is thus reduced opposite a non-toned or colored layer.
- the tinted / colored area of the intermediate layer thus reduces the transmission of the windscreen in the region of the sun visor.
- the aesthetic impression of the functional element is improved because the tinting leads to a more neutral appearance, which is more pleasant to the viewer.
- electrically controllable optical properties are to be understood as meaning those properties which are infinitely variable, but equally also those which can be switched between two or more discrete states.

- the sun visor can be controlled by sensors which detect a light incident on the pane.
- the tinted or colored area of the intermediate layer preferably has a transmission in the visible spectral range of from 10% to 50%, particularly preferably from 20% to 40%. This achieves particularly good results with regard to glare protection and visual appearance.
- the intermediate layer can be formed by a single thermoplastic film in which the tinted or colored area is produced by local tinting or dyeing. Such films are available, for example, by coextrusion. Alternatively, an untoned film portion and a tinted or colored film portion may be assembled to the thermoplastic layer.
- the tinted or colored area can be homogeneously colored or tinted, that is to say have a location-independent transmission.
- the tinting or coloring can also be inhomogeneous, in particular, a transmission profile can be realized.
- the transmittance in the toned or colored area at least sections with increasing distance from the top edge.
- the area of the first intermediate layer ie the area between the functional element and the outer pane, is tinted. This causes a particularly aesthetic impression on top view of the outer pane.

- a windshield has an upper edge and a lower edge and two side edges extending between the upper edge and the lower edge. With the upper edge that edge is referred to, which is intended to point in the installed position upwards.
- the lower edge is the edge which is intended to point downwards in the installed position.
- the upper edge is often referred to as the roof edge and the lower edge as the engine edge.
- Windshields have a central field of view, on the optical quality of which are made high demands.
- the central field of view must have a high light transmission (typically greater than 70%).
- the said central field of view is in particular that field of view which is designated by the person skilled in the art as field of view B, field of view B or zone B.
- Field of View B and its technical requirements are set out in United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN / ECE) Control No 43 (ECE-R43, "Uniform Conditions for the Approval of Safety Glazing Materials and their Installation in Vehicles")
- Field of view B is defined in Annex 18.
- the functional element is then advantageously arranged above the central field of vision (field of view B).
- This means that the functional element is arranged in the region between the central field of vision and the upper edge of the windshield.
- the functional element does not have to cover the entire area, but is completely positioned within this area and does not protrude into the central field of view.
- the functional element has a smaller distance to the upper edge of the windscreen than the central viewing area.
- the transmission of the central field of view is not affected by the functional element, which is positioned in a similar position as a classic mechanical sun visor in the folded down state.
- the windshield is preferably provided for a motor vehicle, particularly preferably for a passenger car.
- the functional element more precisely the side surfaces of the functional element with the barrier material circumferentially surrounded by a third intermediate layer.
- the third intermediate layer is formed like a frame with a recess into which the functional element is inserted.
- the third intermediate layer can also be formed by a thermoplastic film into which the recess has been cut by cutting.
- the third intermediate layer can also be composed of several film sections around the functional element.
- the intermediate layer is preferably formed from a total of at least three thermoplastic layers arranged on top of each other, wherein the middle layer identifies a recess in which the functional element is arranged.
- the third intermediate layer is arranged between the first and the second intermediate layer, wherein the side surfaces of all intermediate layers are preferably arranged in cover.
- the third intermediate layer preferably has approximately the same thickness as the functional element.
- the visible in view through the windshield side surfaces of the functional element are preferably arranged flush with the third intermediate layer, so that there is no gap between the side surface of the functional element and the associated side surface of the intermediate layer. This is especially true for the lower surface of the functional element, which is typically visible. Thus, the boundary between the third intermediate layer and functional element is optically less noticeable.
- the lower edges of the functional element and the tinted region of the intermediate layer (s) to the shape of the upper edge of the Windscreen adapted, which causes a visually pleasing appearance. Since the upper edge of a windshield is typically bent, in particular bent concavely, the lower edge of the functional element and of the tinted region is preferably bent. Particularly preferably, the lower edges of the functional element are formed substantially parallel to the upper edge of the windshield. But it is also possible to build the sun visor from two straight halves, which are arranged at an angle to each other and the shape of the upper edge are approximated v-shaped. In one embodiment of the invention, the functional element is divided into segments by insulation lines.
- the insulation lines are in particular incorporated in the surface electrodes, so that the segments of the surface electrode are electrically isolated from each other.
- the individual segments are independently connected to the voltage source, so that they can be controlled separately. This allows different areas of the sun visor to be switched independently.
- the insulation lines and the segments are arranged horizontally in the installed position. Thus, the height of the sun visor can be controlled by the user.
- the term "horizontal" is to be broadly interpreted to mean a direction of propagation that extends between the side edges of the windshield of a windshield.
- the insulator lines may not necessarily be straight, but may also be slightly curved, preferably adapted to eventual bending of the top of the windshield Of course, vertical insulation lines are also conceivable.
- the insulation lines have, for example, a width of 5 ⁇ m to 500 ⁇ m, in particular 20 ⁇ m to 200 ⁇ m
- the width of the segments that is to say the distance between adjacent insulation lines, can be from
- the insulation lines can be introduced by laser ablation, mechanical cutting or etching during the production of the functional element can still be segmented by means of laser ablation.
- the upper edge and the adjacent side surface or all side surfaces of the functional element are preferably viewed from one in view through the composite pane opaque masking or obscured by an outer frame.
- Windshields typically have peripheral peripheral masking pressure from an opaque enamel, which is particularly useful for protecting and visually obscuring the adhesive used to install the windshield from UV radiation.
- This peripheral covering pressure is preferably used to conceal the upper edge and the side surface of the functional element, as well as the required electrical connections.
- the sun visor is then advantageously integrated into the appearance of the windshield and only the lower edge is potentially visible to the viewer.
- both the outer pane and the inner pane have a covering pressure, so that the view is prevented from both sides.
- the functional element can also have recesses or holes, for example in the area of so-called sensor windows or camera windows. These areas are intended to be equipped with sensors or cameras whose function would be affected by a controllable functional element in the beam path, such as rain sensors. It is also possible to realize the sun visor with at least two separate functional elements, wherein there is a distance between the functional elements, which provides a space for sensor or camera windows.
- the functional element (or the entirety of the functional elements in the above-described case of a plurality of functional elements) is preferably arranged over the entire width of the composite pane or windshield, minus a double-sided edge region having a width of, for example, 2 mm to 20 mm. Also at the top, the functional element preferably has a spacing of, for example, 2 mm to 20 mm. The functional element is thus encapsulated within the intermediate layer and protected from contact with the surrounding atmosphere and corrosion.

- the inner pane 2 has a thickness of 1, 6 mm and consists of a clear soda-lime glass.
- the windshield has an upper edge D facing the roof in the installed position and a lower edge M facing the engine compartment in the installed position.
- the windscreen is equipped with an electrically controllable functional element 5 according to the invention as a sun visor, which is arranged in an area above the central viewing area B (as defined in ECE-R43).
- the sun visor is formed by a commercially available PDLC multilayer film as a functional element 5 incorporated in the intermediate layers 3a, 3b.
- the height of the sun visor is for example 21 cm.
- the first intermediate layer 3 a is connected to the outer pane 1
- the second intermediate layer 3 b is connected to the inner pane 2.
- An intervening third intermediate layer 3c has a cutout in which the cut PDLC multilayer film is inserted accurately, that is flush on all sides.
- the third intermediate layer 3c layer thus forms, as it were, a kind of passes-partout for the functional element 5, which is thus encapsulated all round in thermoplastic material and thus protected.
- the first intermediate layer 3a has a tinted region 6, which is arranged between the functional element 5 and the outer pane 1.
- the light transmission of the windshield is thereby additionally in the region of the functional element 5 lowered and mitigated the milky appearance of the PDLC functional element 5 in the diffuse state.
- the aesthetics of the windshield are thus made much more appealing.
- the first intermediate layer 3a has an average light transmission of 30% in the region 6, for example, with which good results are achieved.
- the area 6 can be homogeneously tinted. Often, however, it is more visually appealing when the tint in the direction of the lower edge of the functional element 5 is lower, so that the tinted and untoned area merge smoothly into one another.
- the lower edges of the tinted region 6 and the lower edge of the PDLC functional element 5 are arranged flush with the barrier material 4. This is not necessarily the case. It is also possible that the tinted region 6 protrudes beyond the functional element 5 or conversely that the functional element 5 projects beyond the tinted region 6. In the latter case, the entire functional element 5 would not be connected to the outer pane 1 via the tinted area 6.
- the windshield has, as usual, a peripheral peripheral covering pressure 9, which is formed by an opaque enamel on the inside surfaces (facing the interior of the vehicle in the installed position) of the outer pane 1 and the inner pane 2.
- the distance of the functional element 5 to the upper edge D and the side edges of the windshield is smaller than the width of the cover pressure 9, so that the side surfaces of the functional element 5 - with the exception of the central field of view B facing side edge - are covered by the cover pressure 9.
- the electrical connections, not shown, are expediently mounted in the region of the covering pressure 9 and thus hidden.
- the controllable functional element 5 is a multilayer film consisting of an active layer 11 between two surface electrodes 12, 13 and two carrier foils 14, 15.
- the active layer 11 contains a polymer matrix with liquid crystals dispersed therein, which are applied as a function of the surface electrodes align electrical voltage, whereby the optical properties can be controlled.
- the carrier films 14, 15 are made of PET and have a thickness of, for example, 0.125 mm.
- the carrier foils 14, 15 are provided with a coating of ITO having a thickness of approximately 100 nm facing the active layer 11, which form the electrodes 12, 13.
- the Electrodes 12, 13 are connected via bus bars, not shown (for example, formed by a silver-containing screen printing) and not shown connection cable with the on-board electrical system.
- a barrier material 4 is extruded, analogous to Figure 2C.
- all side surfaces 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 are completely sealed with a barrier material 4 made of low-plasticizer PET.
- the functional element 5 is particularly well protected against aging.
- a so-called “high-flow PVB” may be used, which has a greater flow behavior than standard PVB films, so that the layers will become more fluid around the barrier material 4 and the functional element 5 a more homogeneous visual impression is created and the transition from functional element 5 to intermediate layer 3c is less noticeable
- the "high flow PVB” can be used for all or even only one or more of the intermediate layers 3a, 3b, 3c.
- the windscreen and the functional element 5 with blocking material 4 substantially correspond to the embodiment from FIGS. 4A and 4B.
- the PDLC functional element 5 is divided by horizontal insulation lines into, for example, six strip-like segments.
- the insulation lines have, for example, a width of 40 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m and a mutual distance of 3.5 cm. They have been introduced by means of a laser in the prefabricated multilayer film.
- the insulation lines separate the surface electrodes into strips insulated from one another, each of which has a separate electrical connection.
- the segments are independently switchable. The thinner the insulation lines are made, the less inconspicuous they are. By means of etching even thinner insulation lines can be realized.
- the height of the darkened functional element 5 can be adjusted. Depending on the position of the sun, the driver can thus darken the entire sun visor or only a part of it.
- the functional element 5 is controlled by a capacitive button arranged in the region of the functional element, the driver determining the degree of darkening by the location where he touches the pane.
- the functional element 5 can also be controlled by non-contact methods, for example by detecting gestures, or depending on the state of the pupil or eyelid detected by a camera and suitable evaluation electronics.
