Abstract

The method involves recording a road underlying infront of a motor vehicle using a night vision and/or infrared camera. A part of a windscreen is provided with organic LEDs in type of flat screen, which reproduces an image of the road in a monitor using the night vision and/or infrared camera. The monitor is provided at the windscreen. The organic LEDs are superimposed on a rollable, transparent foil. The transparent foil is arranged so that the foil is drawn-out infront of the windscreen if required.

Description

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Sichtverhältnisse in Kraftfahrzeugen zu schaffen. Insbesondere bei Nacht oder bei widrigen Witterungsverhältnissen, wie Regen, Schneetreiben oder Nebel reichen oftmals die am Fahrzeug angebrachten Leuchten, wie Scheinwerfer, Abblendlicht und Nebelscheinwerfer nicht aus, um ausreichend gute Sichtverhältnisse zu schaffen. Abgesehen davon, dass relativ viele Leute das Problem mit der Nachtblindheit haben. All dies führt zur frühzeitigen Ermüdung der Fahrzeuglenker und damit zur Unfallgefahr. Auch die Unfallgefahr durch nicht sofort erkennbaren Wildwechsel, insbesondere bei Fahrt durch Waldgebiete, ist nicht zu unterschätzen, da dieser meist in der Dämmerung stattfindet.Of the Invention is based on the object, a method for improvement to create the visibility in motor vehicles. Especially at night or in adverse weather conditions, such as rain, Snow drift or fog are often enough on the vehicle Lights, such as headlights, low beam and fog lights not to create sufficient visibility. Apart from that, a relatively large number of people have the problem with night blindness to have. All this leads to premature fatigue the driver and thus the risk of accidents. Also the accident risk not immediately recognizable game, especially when driving through Forest areas, is not to be underestimated, as this is mostly takes place at dusk.

Gemäß der Erfindung können die Sichtprobleme in Kraftfahrzeugen dadurch wesentlich verbessert werden, dass mit Hilfe einer Nachtsicht- und/oder Infrarotkamera die vor dem Fahrzeug liegende Fahrstrecke aufgenommen und an einen in oder an der Windschutzscheibe vorgesehenen Monitor wiedergegeben wird. Vorzugsweise wird zur Bildung dieses Monitors zumindest ein Teil der Windschutzscheibenfläche des Fahrzeuges mit organischen Leuchtdioden nach Art eines Flachbildschirmes versehen. Durch entsprechende Gestaltung und Anordnung des Monitors kann der Fahrzeuglenker praktisch ein taghelles Bild von der Straße und deren Umgebung erhalten.According to the Invention, the vision problems in motor vehicles can thereby be substantially improved that with the help of a night vision and / or Infrared camera recorded the lying in front of the vehicle driving route and to a monitor provided in or on the windshield is reproduced. Preferably, to form this monitor at least a portion of the windshield surface of the vehicle provided with organic light-emitting diodes in the manner of a flat screen. By appropriate design and arrangement of the monitor, the Vehicle driver practically a day bright picture of the road and their environment preserved.

Organische Leuchtdioden, kurz OLEG genannt (Siehe u. a. http://www.bmbf.de/de/3604.php ), bestehen aus extrem dünnen Schichten aus organischen, halbleitenden Materialien, die sich relativ leicht z. B. auf eine Glasscheibe aufbringen lassen, sodass ein beliebig großer Teil der Windschutzscheibe als Flachbildschirm gestaltet sein kann. Eine andere erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht darin, dass die organischen Leuchtdioden auf einer vorzugsweise transparenten elastischen Folie aufgebracht sind, welche fest oder lose an der Windschutzscheibe anliegt. Vorzugsweise wird eine aufrollbare Folie verwendet, die beispielsweise so oberhalb der Windschutzscheibe angebracht wird, dass sie im Bedarfsfalle vor die Windschutzscheibe gezogen werden kann. Dieser Vorgang kann sowohl händisch als auch automatisch z. B. durch einen Dämmerungsschalter bei Bedarf ausgelöst werden.Organic light-emitting diodes, abbreviated to OLEG (See, inter alia http://www.bmbf.de/de/3604.php ), consist of extremely thin layers of organic, semiconductive materials that are relatively easy z. B. can be applied to a glass so that an arbitrarily large part of the windshield can be designed as a flat screen. Another solution according to the invention is that the organic light-emitting diodes are applied to a preferably transparent elastic film, which rests firmly or loosely on the windshield. Preferably, a roll-up film is used, which is for example mounted above the windshield so that it can be pulled in front of the windshield in case of need. This process can be done both manually and automatically z. B. triggered by a twilight switch if necessary.
