L'objectif de ce procédé est de permettre un contrôle de la The objective of this process is to allow a control of the
transmission de lumière par simple translation ou mouvement de décalage quelconque de deux surfaces formées de zones de polarisation d'orientation variable. light transmission by simple translation or any shifting movement of two surfaces formed by polarization zones of variable orientation.
Ce procédé de contrôle de l'intensité lumineuse transmise innove en transformant le mouvement de rotation suivant un axe This process of controlling the transmitted light intensity innovates by transforming the rotational movement along an axis
normal aux deux surfaces polarisantes en un mouvement quelconque entre des surfaces présentant des rotations locales de la direction de polarisation. normal to both polarizing surfaces in any movement between surfaces with local rotations in the direction of polarization.
Chaque zone de surface polarise suivant une direction fixe définie. C'est la combinaison des deux surfaces qui permet par Each surface area polarizes in a defined fixed direction. It is the combination of the two surfaces which allows
superposition de zones différentes d'obtenir le coefficient de transmission voulu. Le décalage permet de choisir les zones que l'on superpose, et donc l'angle entre les deux directions de15 polarisation qui définit l'atténuation de la lumière transmise. superimposition of different zones to obtain the desired transmission coefficient. The offset makes it possible to choose the zones which are superimposed, and therefore the angle between the two polarization directions which defines the attenuation of the transmitted light.
La nécessité du mouvement de rotation entre des surfaces polarisantes de direction constante empêche en effet l'application de ce phénomène physique à d'autres formes que The necessity of the rotational movement between polarizing surfaces of constant direction indeed prevents the application of this physical phenomenon to forms other than
des disques.some discs.
Par ailleurs, les autres systèmes permettant une modification contrôlée de la transmission lumineuse reposent sur des matériaux coûteux ou dont la durée de vie jugée trop courte ne In addition, the other systems allowing a controlled modification of the light transmission are based on expensive materials or whose life considered too short does not
permet pas leur application pour le grand public. not allow their application for the general public.
La solution technique proposée permet un coût moindre. Elle repose sur des caractéristiques stables du matériau, car la surface polarisante est fixe pour chaque zone. Le réglage du système ne nécessite qu'une translation ou un décalage relatif The proposed technical solution allows a lower cost. It is based on stable characteristics of the material, since the polarizing surface is fixed for each zone. System adjustment requires only relative translation or offset

Ce système peut être utilisé suivant différents modes quel que soit le contexte: * Fenêtre de maison ou d'immeuble, volet extérieur; * Fenêtre de train, d'avion, ou de tout engin; * pare-soleil pour voitures, store à lamelles; * visière de casque ou lunettes protectrices, etc. Dans la suite du document on décrira à titre d'exemples non limitatifs trois dispositifs utilisant ce procédé: * fenêtre d'immeuble; * store mobile à lamelle; This system can be used in different modes whatever the context: * House or building window, exterior shutter; * Window of train, plane, or any machine; * sun visor for cars, blinds with slats; * helmet visor or protective glasses, etc. In the rest of the document, three devices using this method will be described as non-limiting examples: * building window; * mobile slat blind;

Une fenêtre peut être directement réalisée par la superposition de deux surfaces vitrées traitées pour être constituée de bandes polarisantes régulières de largeur L. Chaque bande polarise suivant une direction D, qui se trouve décalée d'un A window can be produced directly by the superposition of two glazed surfaces treated to be made up of regular polarizing strips of width L. Each strip polarizes in a direction D, which is offset by a
angle A avec la suivante.angle A with the next.
Lorsque les bandes de même direction se superposent le coefficient de transmission d'une lumière non polarisée est maximum. Lorsque les surfaces sont décalées d'un nombre N de bandes par une translation de N fois la longueur L, le coefficient de transmission est multiplié par la valeur absolue du cosinus de l'angle obtenu entre les deux directions, qui vaut N fois A. Le cas le plus simple est l'alternance de deux bandes dont les directions de polarisation sont orthogonales (angle A valant , ou n/2). Le déplacement d'une seule largeur de bande L When the bands of the same direction overlap the transmission coefficient of unpolarized light is maximum. When the surfaces are offset by a number N of bands by a translation of N times the length L, the transmission coefficient is multiplied by the absolute value of the cosine of the angle obtained between the two directions, which is equal to N times A. The simplest case is the alternation of two bands whose polarization directions are orthogonal (angle A equal, or n / 2). Moving a single bandwidth L
rend alors la fenêtre complètement opaque. then makes the window completely opaque.
Le nombre de bandes ayant des directions de polarisation différentes détermine directement le nombre de coefficients de The number of bands having different polarization directions directly determines the number of coefficients of
transmission différents que l'on peut obtenir. different transmission that one can get.

avec des lamelles différentes de l'autre surface. with different slats from the other surface.
