Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine optische Anzeige, aufweisend ein Gehäuse, wenigstens ein Anzeigeelement und einen Adapter, wobei der Adapter zur elektrischen Verbindung wenigstens eines externen Leiters mit wenigstens einem internen Leiter vorgesehen ist, wobei der interne Leiter elektrisch leitend mit dem Anzeigeelement verbunden ist.The invention relates to a visual display, comprising a housing, at least one display element and an adapter, wherein the adapter for electrically connecting at least one external conductor is provided with at least one internal conductor, wherein the internal conductor is electrically conductively connected to the display element.
Eine optische Anzeige dient als eine visuelle Schnittstelle zwischen einem Bediener und einem Gerät zur Übermittlung von Informationen. An einem Gehäuse oder einer manuellen Bedieneinheit eines Gerätes sind in der Regel optische Anzeigen, wie beispielsweise ein Leuchtmelder, angebracht. Diese optischen Anzeigen bilden hierbei gegebenenfalls Symbole, Text oder abstrakte Darstellungsmöglichkeiten, wie sie heute mit üblichen bzw machbaren visuellen Mitteln realisiert werden können.A visual display serves as a visual interface between an operator and a device for communicating information. On a housing or a manual control unit of a device optical displays, such as a light indicator are usually mounted. If necessary, these visual displays form symbols, text or abstract representation possibilities, as they can be realized today with customary or feasible visual means.
Die Komplexität der optischen Anzeige richtet sich hierbei .nach der Komplexität der zu übermittelnden Informationen, die beispielsweise mit einer einfachen Leuchtanzeige über Sieben-Segmentanzeigen bis zu einem hochauflösenden Farbbildschirm eine Vielzahl von technischen Ausführungsmöglichkeiten einschließt. Als nachteilig wirkt sich die Komplexität bei der Herstellung bzw. Realisierung der bekannten Anzeigen aus, dass schon bei den einfachsten Forderungen der Kostenfaktor bei mehr oder weniger frei veränderlichen Darstellungen eine entscheidende Rolle spielt, zumal die Kosten auf zwei Ebenen entstehen. Hierzu gehören einerseits die Darstellungsproblematik ("Darstellungsebene") sowie auch die Versorgungsproblematik ("Zuführungsebene") der optischen Anzeige. Die Darstellungsebene betrifft alle optisch aktiven Elemente, die zum Informationstransfer verwendet werden (z. B. ein Bildschirm). Die Zuführungsebene betrifft mehr die Versorgung der aktiven Elemente, die meist unter Verwendung eines Mehrfachkabels oder Busses und der entsprechenden Elektronik umgesetzt wird. Zugleich soll neben einer möglichst kostengünstigen Realisierung der beiden angesprochenen Ebenen/Problemstellungen auch die mechanische und/oder elektrische/elektromagnetische Robustheit gewährleistet sein.The complexity of the optical display depends on the complexity of the information to be transmitted, which includes, for example, a simple light display via seven-segment displays up to a high-resolution color screen, a variety of technical design options. The complexity in the production or realization of the known displays has the disadvantage that even with the simplest requirements, the cost factor plays a decisive role in more or less freely variable representations, especially as the costs arise on two levels. These include on the one hand the presentation problem ("presentation level") as well as the supply problem ("feed level") of the visual display. The representation layer concerns all optically active elements used for information transfer (eg a screen). The delivery level is more concerned with the supply of the active elements, most often using a multiple cable or bus and the corresponding electronics is implemented. At the same time the mechanical and / or electrical / electromagnetic robustness should be ensured in addition to the most cost-effective realization of the two levels / problems.

Die optische Anzeige weist ein Gehäuse auf, welches zumindest teilweise interne Leiter bildet. Hierbei werden die internen Leiter derartig vom Gehäuse bzw. von dessen Material umschlossen, so dass eine ungewollte Kontaktierung unter den internen Leitern, sowie auch mit anderen Kontakten oder Fremdkörpern ausgeschlossen werden kann. Dies betrifft sowohl die Innenseite als auch die Außenseite des Gehäuses. Die den internen Leiter ummantelnde Schicht dient sozusagen als Isolationsschicht.The optical display has a housing which at least partially forms internal conductors. Here, the internal conductors are so enclosed by the housing or its material, so that an unwanted contact under the internal conductors, as well as with other contacts or foreign bodies can be excluded.

Das Anzeigeelement weist ein Leuchtelement, eine Flüssigkristallanzeige oder ein elektrochromes Display oder eine Kombinationen dieser Elemente auf. Die Informationen, die hierbei dem Benutzer zur Verfügung gestellt werden, können beispielsweise über wechselbare Symbole/Texte oder auch laufende Bilder realisiert werden, wobei beispielsweise ein preisgünstiges Display aus einer Vielzahl von Licht emittierenden Dioden (LEDs oder ggf organische LEDs) gebildet werden kann. Bei der Verwendung eines so genannten elektrochromen Displays ist beim Anlegen von elektrischer Spannung eine Generierung unterschiedlicher Farben oder Farbtönen möglich.The display element has a luminous element, a liquid crystal display or an electrochromic display or a combination of these elements. The information that is made available to the user here can be realized, for example, via interchangeable symbols / texts or even running images, wherein, for example, a low-cost display can be formed from a large number of light-emitting diodes (LEDs or optionally organic LEDs).

Vorteilhafterweise wird die optische Anzeige an einem Kleidungsstück zur Anzeige eines Betriebszustandes eines Gerätes der Unterhaltungselektronik oder Kommunikationstechnik, mit welchem der Benutzer interagiert eingesetzt. Beispielsweise könnte durch eine optische Anzeige an einem Hemdärmel (im Sichtfeld des Benutzers) ein am Mobiltelefon eingehender Anruf angezeigt werden, wenn ein akustisches Signal wegen Lärms keinen Effekt hätte.Advantageously, the visual display is attached to a garment to indicate an operating condition of an entertainment electronics or communication technology device with which the user interacts. For example, a visual indication on a shirt sleeve (in the user's field of vision) could indicate a call coming in at the mobile phone if an acoustic signal had no effect due to noise.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die optische Anzeige mit einem Befehlsgerät einsetzbar bzw. in dasselbe integrierbar. Beispielhaft sei der Leuchtdrucktaster genannt, der somit den eigenen Innenraum dem Befehlsgerät quasi unbeeinträchtigt für andere Aufgaben zur Verfügung stellt. So ist beispielsweise die Anordnung eines Stößels für angekoppelte Schaltelemente unschwierig durchzuführen, zumal keine internen Leiter, in Form von Kabeln und Kontakten, den Formschluss bei Betätigung behindern.Advantageously, the optical display with a command device can be used or integrated into the same. By way of example, the illuminated pushbutton may be mentioned, which thus provides its own interior to the command device virtually unimpaired for other tasks. For example, the arrangement of a plunger for coupled switching elements is difficult to perform, especially since no internal conductor, in the form of cables and contacts hinder the positive locking when actuated.
