- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a lighting element according to an embodiment
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of an operating element according to a
- FIG. 3 shows a flow diagram of a method for producing a light-conducting element according to one exemplary embodiment.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a lighting element 100 according to one exemplary embodiment.
- the illumination element 100 comprises a light-conducting element 102, which is illuminated by a light source 104, here by way of example a light-emitting diode.
- the light-conducting element 102 is designed to scatter light beams 105 radiated into the light-conducting element 102 by the light source 104 in such a way that a viewer of the lighting element 100 has the impression that the illumination element 100 is glowing, which is also referred to as a ghost light effect can be.
- the light-guiding element 102 comprises a light-guiding body 106, which is coated at least in sections with a light-permeable metal layer 108.
- the metal layer 108 is applied to the light guide body 106 in a sputtering process, ie, by sputtering a corresponding metallic scattering body, in particular, for example, by magnetron sputtering.
- the metal layer 108 has such a small layer thickness that a certain proportion of the light beams 105 conducted through the light guide body 106 are transmitted by the metal layer 108.
- the metal layer 108 after sputtering resembles, for example, a highly reflective chromium layer.
- the light guide 106 has a flat bottom, in which the light of the light source 104 is coupled. On a side opposite the bottom, the light-guiding body 106 has a curved surface which, in the installed state of the lighting element 100, can be at least partially visible to an observer.
- the metal layer 108 is applied to realize a matte or brushed appearance of the device.
- surface defects of the optical waveguide 106 should be avoided as far as possible, since they were noticeable directly after sputtering.
- the light guide 106 is made as a composite of two differently scattering part bodies in the form of a core 1 10 and a core surrounding the core shell 1 12, wherein the core 1 10, for example, a highly light-scattering material and the shell 1 12 from one easily light-scattering material is made.
- the core 1 10 and the shell 1 12 may also differ from each other in terms of other optical properties.
- the core 1 10 and the shell 1 12 are made of different plastic materials in an injection molding process.
- the light guide 106 may be made in one piece of plastic or other suitable translucent material.
- the actual luminous core of the illumination element 100 thus consists of a highly light-scattering material which is, for example, sprayed over with a light-to-light-scattering material in order to form the jacket 12.
- the sputtering layer 108 is then applied over it. If the structure is backlit by means of the light source 104, the base core 1 10 will shine strongly and the jacket 1 12 will produce a slight or no luminous fog. In conjunction with the metallic appearance of the metal layer 108 then creates the ghost-light effect.
- the light guide body 106 has a hemispherical cross section, the metal layer 108 being applied to a curved section of the light guide body 106.
- the curved section is a side of the illumination element 100 facing the observer.
- the light source 104 is opposite a planar section of the core 110, which likewise has a hemispherical cross section here.
- the flat portion of the core 1 10 and adjacent thereto planar portions of the shell 1 12 have no metal coating.
- the light guide body 106 has a semi-elliptical cross section or a cross section with any other geometry.
- FIG 2 shows a schematic representation of an operating element 200 according to an embodiment.
- the lighting element 100 such as an illumination element, as described above with reference to Figure 1.
- a plurality of illumination elements 100 can also be integrated into the operating element 200.
- element 100 is integrated into operating element 200 in such a way that the portion of illumination element 100 coated with the sputtered metal layer is part of a surface of control element 200 or terminates flush therewith.
- the lighting element 100 is used, for example, to display lighting symbols on the operating element 200 or to highlight the operating element 200 as a whole or of subsections of the operating element 200 by means of a suitable light effect, which can vary depending on the configuration of the light-conducting body or the metal layer.
- a knob 204 of the control element 200 formed as a gear selector lever can be formed completely or partially by the illumination element 100 or a plurality of differently shaped illumination elements 100.
- FIG. 3 shows a flow diagram of a method 300 for producing a light-conducting element according to an exemplary embodiment, for example a light-conducting element, as described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
- a provided light-conducting body is coated at least in sections with the light-permeable metal layer in a suitable sputtering process.
- a protective layer is applied to the metal layer for wear protection.
- the protective layer is applied to the metal layer by sputtering a glass body as a glass layer.
- step 310 comprises the following sub-steps performed one after the other.
- a substrate to be sputtered i. H. the light guide body
- the substrate is tempered in a high vacuum system.
- the heater remains at a certain temperature, which additionally heats the substrate.
- the surface of the substrate is now activated and slightly etched.
- the substrate rotates, for example, at a speed of two revolutions per minute.
- a chromium layer is produced using a magnetron sputtering source.
- One advantage of this method is that geometries can also be realized which can not be realized with a comparable transilluminous IML film back-injection or at least only with very high outlay. For example, even small radii and larger component depths and surface slopes can be coated.
- a glass sputtering is performed in step 320.
- a glass layer is sputtered onto the substrate.
- scratch-resistant coating offers the advantage of better scratch resistance and better chemical resistance, for example with respect to sunscreen creams or the like.
- Another advantage is that the glass layer can be applied by sputtering on sharp-edged and stak deformed surfaces, whereas scratch-resistant coating tends to flow at larger wrinkles.
- the method 300 makes it possible to generate new optical effects on a wide variety of geometries, such as a so-called ghost light.
- the viewer looks from the outside on the metallic surface of the light guide. Upon fluoroscopy of the light-guiding element, the observer can see an inner glow due to the transmission of the sputtering surface. This annealing does not start directly from the surface where the sputtering layer is applied, but from a luminescent core of the system located further inside.
