Definitions

• the invention relates to a vehicle pane for a head-up display, a method for its production and its use, and a head-up display with the vehicle pane and a vehicle equipped accordingly.
• Head-up displays are provided for displaying image information for a viewer or driver.
• a projector as an image generator, for example in the area of the dashboard or in the roof area, images are projected onto the windshield, reflected there and perceived by the driver as a virtual image behind the windshield.
• important information can be projected into the driver's field of vision, for example the current driving speed, navigation or warning information, which the driver can perceive without having to take his eyes off the road. Head-up displays can thus make a significant contribution to increasing traffic safety.
• Vehicle panes used as windshields usually consist of two panes of glass which are laminated to one another via at least one thermoplastic film.
• the head-up display described above has a problem that the projected image is reflected on both surfaces of the windshield.
• the driver not only perceives the desired main image, which is caused by the reflection on the interior surface of the windshield (primary reflection).
• the driver also perceives a slightly offset secondary image, which is usually of weaker intensity, which is caused by the reflection on the outside surface of the windshield (secondary reflection).
• This problem is commonly solved by arranging the reflective surfaces at a deliberately selected angle to one another, so that the main image and sub-image are superimposed, so that the sub-image is no longer distracting.
• vehicle windows with transparent, electrically conductive coatings.
• these coatings can act as IR-reflective coatings to reduce heating of the vehicle interior and thereby improve thermal comfort, or be used as heated coatings by connecting to a voltage source so that a current flows through the coating.
• vehicle windows with conductive coatings on the inside of the laminated glass have the problem that the conductive coating forms another reflective interface for the projector image. This also leads to an undesirable secondary image.
• the components of the head-up display must be arranged in the vehicle in such a way that the viewer can see the projected image, which inevitably entails restrictions on the arrangement in the vehicle, since the reflection of light rays on the reflective surface of the vehicle window is the condition it is sufficient that the angle of incidence corresponds to the angle of reflection.
• the object of the present invention is to provide an improved head-up display with which these disadvantages can be avoided. It would be desirable to have a head-up display in which no unwanted secondary images occur and whose arrangement in the vehicle can be implemented relatively easily with good visibility and sufficient brightness and contrast of the displayed image information.
• the power consumption of a projector should be relatively low.
• the head-up display should be simple and inexpensive to produce in the industrial series production of vehicles.
• a vehicle window is shown, which is used to separate a vehicle interior from the exterior of the vehicle.
• the vehicle pane includes at least one transparent pane.
• the vehicle pane can be of any design, in particular as a thermally toughened single-pane safety glass or as a laminated pane.
• the vehicle window serves as a vehicle windshield.
• the vehicle pane according to the invention in particular a vehicle windshield, is preferably designed as a composite pane and comprises a first pane with an outside and inside and a second pane with an inside and outside, which are firmly connected to one another by at least one thermoplastic intermediate layer (adhesive layer).
• the first pane can also be referred to as the outer pane, the second pane as the inner pane.
• the surfaces or sides of the two individual panes are usually referred to as side I, side II, side III and side IV from the outside to the inside.
• the vehicle pane according to the invention When installed in the vehicle, the vehicle pane according to the invention has an outside facing the external environment and an inside facing the vehicle interior.
• the outside of the first pane is the outside of the vehicle pane and the inside of the second pane is the inside of the vehicle pane.
• the vehicle pane according to the invention has at least one first masking strip in an edge region which typically adjoins the edge of the pane, the at least one first masking strip being arranged on or in a carrier film.
• the carrier film is connected directly or indirectly, for example via an intermediate layer or a plurality of intermediate layers, to the at least one transparent pane.
• the carrier film is preferably a polymer film, which particularly preferably polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), polyacrylate, polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyacetate resin, casting resin, acrylate, fluorinated ethylene-propylene , Polyvinyl fluoride, ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate, polyurethane (PU) and/or mixtures thereof and/or copolymers thereof.
• PET polyethylene terephthalate
• PP polypropylene
• PC polycarbonate
• polymethyl methacrylate polyvinyl chloride
• polyacetate resin casting resin
• acrylate fluorinated ethylene-propylene
• Polyvinyl fluoride ethylene tetrafluoroethylene
• PVB polyvinyl butyral
• PU polyurethane
• the carrier film in the case of a single pane as a vehicle pane, can be bonded to the transparent pane, for example via a thermoplastic intermediate layer such as a PVB film.
• the carrier film can also be protected from the outside by a further cover film.
• the carrier film can contain or consist of a thermoplastic intermediate layer.
• the carrier film is then typically laminated inside the laminated pane, ie between the first and second pane.
• the carrier film then preferably consists of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate, polyurethane (PU) and/or mixtures and/or copolymers thereof.
• PVB polyvinyl butyral
• PU polyurethane
• the carrier film is not self-adhesive, it can be bonded to one of the panes, for example via a thermoplastic intermediate layer.
• the carrier film is arranged on an outside of the first or second pane, it can be protected from the outside by a further cover film.
• the at least one first masking strip is printed onto the carrier film.
• first masking strips which can be printed on carrier foils and in particular polymeric carrier foils, are well known to the person skilled in the art, for example from WO 2019/038043 A1, WO 2002/018154 A1, US 2014212639 A1, US 9623634 B2 or WO 2018/ 122770A1.
• the first masking strip preferably contains color pigments or dyes, particularly preferably inorganic or organic color pigments or dyes, in particular selected from the group consisting of carbon black (also called carbon black), iron oxide pigments and mixed-phase oxide pigments.
• the mixed phase oxide pigments include, for example, titanate pigments and spinel pigments.
• the color pigments or dyes are advantageously applied to the thermoplastic intermediate layer in a water-based or solvent-based composition and are preferably dried.
• the color pigments or dyes can be applied to the thermoplastic intermediate layer by means of spraying processes, screen printing, inkjet processes or other suitable printing processes.
• the composition with which the first masking stripe is printed does not contain glass-forming oxides or glass frits or other components which result in a glass-like layer after drying and after lamination.
• the first masking strip according to the invention is in particular not glass-like and does not contain or is not enamel.
• the first masking strip has a thickness of 5 ⁇ m (microns) to 40 ⁇ m, preferably from 5 ⁇ m to 20 ⁇ m. Thick opaque layers of this type are easy to produce, have sufficient covering power and can be laminated into a laminated pane without further equalizing layers or equalizing films.
• the first masking strip according to the invention can be printed on any surface of a thermoplastic intermediate layer or on any surface of individual films of a film composite, in particular also on several surfaces. If the first masking stripe is printed on multiple surfaces, then preferably in staggered sections. This has the advantage that the overall thickness of the intermediate layer with the first masking strip remains smaller and is easier to laminate in.
• the at least one first masking strip is embedded in the carrier film.
• the carrier film and in particular a thermoplastic intermediate layer serving as carrier film comprises at least two individual films.
• the first masking strip is preferably arranged between the first individual film and the second individual film and is thereby embedded.
• the first individual film has a thickness of at most 50 ⁇ m and the second individual film has a thickness of more than 50 ⁇ m, with the first masking strip being printed onto the first individual film.
• the first masking strip is advantageously printed on the surface of the first individual foil that faces the second individual foil. This protects and seals the masking strip inside the carrier film.
• the first masking strip is designed as a carrier film that is colored completely or in sections.
• color pigments or coloring components are introduced into the carrier film during the manufacture of the carrier film.
• the at least one first masking strip can, in particular, merge into dots of different sizes at its edge. These are intended to soften and dissolve the optically massive impression of a black edge and hard transition.
• the (vehicle) window can also have further second masking strips.
• the second masking strips can be arranged on or in a carrier film.
• the at least one second masking strip can be a masking print, which is preferably applied to the at least one pane using a printing process, in particular a screen printing process.
• the masking print is preferably printed directly on the pane.
• a ceramic ink is usually used as the printing ink, which is baked onto the surface at higher temperatures (generally at 450° C. to 700° C., for example when bending the glass pane). and forms a glass-like coating (or enamel).
• the baked ink is preferably permanently lightfast, solvent and abrasion resistant. Cover prints of this type are known, for example, from WO 2014/174308 A1.
• the second masking stripe can transition into dots of different sizes. These so-called screen-printed dots are intended to break up the optically massive impression of the black screen-printed edge.
• the second masking stripe is preferably black and can also be referred to as black printing.
• the material of the second masking strip can also be applied to the pane using other common application methods such as brushing, rolling, spraying and the like and then preferably baked.
• the second masking strip consists of a single layer. This has the advantage of particularly simple and cost-effective production of the vehicle window, since only a single layer has to be formed for the masking strip.
• the second masking strip can be applied to each side of the pane.
• this is preferably applied to the inside (side II) of the first pane and/or to the inside (side III) of the second pane, where it is protected from external influences. It is particularly preferably applied to the inside (side II) of the first pane.
• the first and optionally second masking strip comprises a colored, preferably black, colored material.
• the masking strips are preferably opaque, in particular black, in order to serve as visual and UV protection, for example for an adhesive bead.
• the masking strips can also be used, for example, to cover busbars and/or connection elements.
• the masking strips are used to mask an adhesive bead for gluing the vehicle window into a vehicle body, ie it prevents the outside view of the adhesive bead, which is usually applied irregularly, so that the vehicle window creates a harmonious overall impression.
• the masking strips are used as UV protection for the adhesive material used. Continuous exposure to UV light damages the adhesive material and would loosen the connection between the pane and the vehicle body over time.
• “transparent” means that the total transmission of the vehicle pane corresponds to the legal provisions for windshields and preferably has a transmittance of more than 70% and in particular more than 75%, for example more than 95%, for visible light.
• “opaque” means a light transmission of less than 30%, in particular less than 25%, for example less than 5%, in particular 0%.
• the vehicle pane according to the invention also comprises at least one light-directing device for directing light into the vehicle interior and/or at least one image display device (e.g. LED display or projector) for displaying image information.
• the light-directing device or image display device is arranged in the region of the first masking strip, on the vehicle interior side of the first masking strip. In view of the inside of the vehicle window, the light-guiding device is thus located in front of the masking strip.
• the expression "in the region of the at least first masking strip” means that the at least one light-guiding device or at least one image display device is arranged in a vertical view through the vehicle window or in orthogonal projection in overlapping or overlapping with the masking strip.
• the light directing device or image display device and the at least one first masking strip are preferably arranged on different sides of the vehicle window.
• the expression “directing light into the vehicle interior” refers to the condition of the vehicle window installed in the vehicle. The light deflected in this way leaves the vehicle window on the inside.
