In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung weist die Bedienblende im Wesentlichen ein transparentes Material auf. Dieses kann aus lichtdurchlässigen Kunstoffen, wie z.B. Polycarbonat, PMMA oder auch aus Glas bzw. Glaskeramik hergestellt sein. Es sind aber auch transparente Lichthalbleiter, E-Paper oder leitfähige Beschichtungen auf der Bedienblende möglich. Ist es aufgrund von Design- oder Funktionalitätswünschen erforderlich, kann die Blende auch teiltransparent ausgebildet sein. Das wird bspw. dadurch erreicht, dass die Blende mit einer lichtundurchlässigen Beschichtung versehen ist. Möglich ist auch eine teilweise oder ganze Tönung der Bedienblende. Besonders vorteilhaft ist an einer Bedienblende, deren wenigstens sichtbarer Teil transparent ist, dass eine optische Signalgebung auf einfache Art umsetzbar ist.In a further preferred embodiment, the control panel essentially comprises a transparent material. This may be made of translucent plastics such as e.g. Polycarbonate, PMMA or be made of glass or glass ceramic. However, transparent light semiconductors, e-paper or conductive coatings on the control panel are also possible. If it is necessary due to design or functionality wishes, the aperture can also be partially transparent. This is achieved, for example, in that the panel is provided with an opaque coating. It is also possible a partial or full tint of the control panel. It is particularly advantageous on a control panel whose at least visible part is transparent that an optical signaling in a simple way can be implemented.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfasst die Bedienblende Lichtelemente, welche ein- oder mehrfarbiges Licht aussenden. Üblicherweise werden dafür Leuchtdioden (LED) verwendet. Es sind sowohl monochrome, als auch mehrfarbige Leuchtmittel möglich.In a further embodiment of the invention, the control panel comprises light elements which emit single or multi-colored light. Usually light-emitting diodes (LED) are used for this purpose. Both monochrome and multi-colored bulbs are possible.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung erfolgt die Einkopplung von Licht in die Bedienblende indirekt über Lichtleiter oder direkt unmittelbar hinter der Blende. Je nach Anforderung ist es möglich, die Lichtelemente entweder an verschiedenen Stellen innerhalb des Elektrogerätes oder unmittelbar hinter der Bedienblende anzuordnen. Ersteres erfordert Lichtleiter zum Einkoppeln des Lichts in die Anzeigevorrichtung. Jedoch ergeben sich dadurch Freiheiten in der Platzgestaltung hinter der Bedienblende. Ferner lassen sich einzelne Bereich der Anzeigevorrichtung bei Bedarf gezielt beleuchten. Bei Anordnung unmittelbar hinter der Bedienblende entfallen die Lichtleiter und die Einkoppelung des Lichts erfolgt direkt.In an advantageous embodiment, the coupling of light into the control panel takes place indirectly via optical fibers or directly behind the panel. Depending on the requirement, it is possible to arrange the light elements either at different locations within the electrical appliance or directly behind the control panel. The former requires optical fiber for coupling the light into the display device. However, this gives freedom in the Layout behind the control panel. Furthermore, individual areas of the display device can be specifically illuminated as needed.

Beispiele für solche Visualisierungen sind Blinken, Aufblitzen, längerer Lichtbetrieb oder verschiedene Farbtöne der Beleuchtung. Vorteilhaft daran ist, dass der Benutzer schnell die geräte- und/oder funktionsspezifischen Informationen erfassen kann.The backlight is generated by the light elements. The visual feedback for the visualization of information can be made over the entire area over the entire display device, but also over partial areas. Examples of such visualizations are flashing, flashing, prolonged light operation or different shades of lighting. The advantage of this is that the user can quickly capture the device and / or function-specific information.
Eine alternative Ausführung weist eine reflektierende Oberfläche auf, die zumindest die Anzeigevorrichtung umfasst. So ist beispielsweise eine verspiegelte oder schwarze Oberfläche möglich, um das Innenleben hinter der Bedienblende für den Betrachter uneinsehbar zu machen. Um dies zu realisieren, gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten wie die Verwendung von Beschichtungen oder von speziellen Materialen wie phototropes oder elektrotropes Material. Weiterhin ist es möglich, das Material so zu behandeln oder zu aktivieren, dass nur bestimmte, begrenzte Teilbereiche durchleuchtet werden. So lassen sich unter anderem Zahlen, Buchstaben oder Grafiken gestalten.An alternative embodiment has a reflective surface comprising at least the display device. For example, a mirrored or black surface is possible in order to make the interior behind the control panel invisible to the viewer. To realize this, there are various possibilities such as the use of coatings or of special materials such as phototropic or electro-tropic material. Furthermore, it is possible to treat or activate the material in such a way that only certain, limited subareas are transilluminated. This makes it possible, among other things, to design numbers, letters or graphics.
In einer weiteren alternativen Ausgestaltung ist die Anzeigevorrichtung als Funktionsfolie ausgeführt oder umfasst eine solche Funktionsfolie. Vorteilhaft an einer Funktionsfolie ist deren Fähigkeit, verschiedene Darstellungen auf einfache Weise umzusetzen. Es ist auch möglich, die Funktionsfolie auf oder hinter der Anzeigevorrichtung bzw. der Bedienblende aufzubringen.

Sensorelemente integriert, wodurch diese gegen Umwelteinflüsse wie Staub oder Feuchtigkeit geschützt sind und bei guter Flexibilität der Funktionsfolien direkte Eingaben ermöglichen.In a further alternative embodiment, the display device is designed as a functional film or comprises such a functional film. An advantage of a functional film is its ability to implement various representations in a simple manner. It is also possible to apply the functional film on or behind the display device or the control panel. Functional films have a long service life and have a low power requirement. In such functional films tactile or sensor elements are integrated, whereby they are protected against environmental influences such as dust or moisture and allow for good flexibility of the functional films direct inputs.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung können die Funktionsfolien auch als Elektrolumineszenzfolie, sowie als flexible Folie ausgebildet sein.In a further embodiment, the functional films may also be designed as electroluminescent film, as well as a flexible film.
In vorteilhafter Weise ist die Funktionsfolie durch Siebdruck aufgebracht oder durch Spritzgießen ganz oder teilweise umspritzt, z.B. mittels In-mold-Verfahren.In an advantageous manner, the functional film is applied by screen printing or completely or partially injection-molded by injection molding, e.g. by in-mold process.
Eine alternative Ausführung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Anzeigevorrichtung zumindest eine komplette Teilfläche des Elektrogerätes einnimmt.An alternative embodiment of the invention provides that the display device occupies at least a complete partial area of the electrical appliance.
Die Anzeigevorrichtung nicht mehr nur auf die Bedienblende beschränkt, sondern deckt komplette Teilflächen des Elektrogerätes ab.
