Definitions
- the invention relates to a composite pane and in particular to a vehicle composite pane with an integrated light sensor, a method for its production and its use.
- Customary light sensors are attached as add-on parts, in particular on the interior surface of the windshield, for example in the area of the rearview mirror.
- a light sensor which is laminated into a windshield, that is to say is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane of the windshield, the panes being connected to one another by means of a thermoplastic intermediate layer.
- the light sensor is designed in the form of flip-chip photodiodes on a circuit board.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing a further improved composite pane with an integrated light sensor.
- the composite pane according to the invention and in particular the vehicle composite pane according to the invention comprises at least
- An outer pane and an inner pane which are connected to one another via at least one thermoplastic intermediate layer and - At least one light sensor, each with a light-sensitive surface, which is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane,
- a shadow mask is arranged between the light-sensitive surface and the outer pane, which mask covers the light-sensitive surface in sections.
- the present invention further relates to a light sensor comprising:
- the shadow mask is arranged at a distance a from the photosensitive surface and the shadow mask covers the photosensitive surface in sections.
- the present invention further relates to a single pane with a light sensor according to the invention comprising:
- At least one light sensor with a light-sensitive surface
- a shadow mask is arranged between the light-sensitive surface and the outer pane, which mask covers the light-sensitive surface in sections.
- the outer pane is equivalent to the individual pane here.
- the light sensor according to the invention, the individual pane according to the invention and the composite pane according to the invention allow the direction of incidence of light to be determined by partially shading the light-sensitive surface of the light sensor and using the geometric beam path, as is explained in detail in the description of the figures for FIGS. 1A and 1B. It goes without saying that the preferred configuration examples below apply to the light sensor according to the invention, the individual pane according to the invention and the composite pane according to the invention insofar as this is technically possible.
- the distance a between the light-sensitive surface and the shadow mask is from 100 ⁇ m to 10,000 ⁇ m and preferably from 500 ⁇ m to 1500 ⁇ m. With such distances a, particularly good results can be achieved with regard to shading and the geometric beam path.
- the distance a between the light-sensitive surface and the shadow mask is from 50% to 150% and preferably from 75% to 125% of the width or the length of the light-sensitive surface. With such distances a, particularly good results can be achieved with regard to shading and the geometric beam path.
- the composite pane according to the invention with an integrated light sensor comprises at least one outer pane and one inner pane, which are connected to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer.
- a vehicle composite pane it is intended to separate a vehicle interior from an external environment.
- the vehicle composite pane is therefore a window pane which is inserted into a window opening in the vehicle body or is intended for this purpose.
- the vehicle window according to the invention is in particular a windshield, roof window or rear window of a motor vehicle.
- the inner pane denotes that pane which, in the installed position, faces the interior of the vehicle.
- the outer pane denotes that pane which, in the installed position, faces the external surroundings of the vehicle.
- the thermoplastic intermediate layer is typically formed from at least one thermoplastic film.
- That surface of the respective pane which, in the installed position, faces the external environment of the vehicle is called the outside surface designated. That surface of the respective pane which in the installed position faces the interior of the vehicle is referred to as the interior-side surface.
- the interior surface of the outer pane is connected to the outer surface of the inner pane via the thermoplastic intermediate layer.
- the outside surface of the outside pane is referred to as "side I"
- the inside surface of the outside pane as "side II”
- the outside surface of the inside pane as "side III”
- the inside surface of the inside pane as "side IV”.
- the light sensor according to the invention has exactly one light-sensitive surface. This means that the light-sensitive surface of an individual light sensor is no longer segmented and that the measurement signal that is output by the light sensor summarizes the amount of light that strikes the light-sensitive surface. It goes without saying that the light-sensitive area is not a mathematical area, but a light-sensitive layer with a certain layer thickness, which, however, is usually significantly less than its lateral extent.
- the light-sensitive surface of the light sensor according to the invention faces the outer pane. This means that only light which enters the composite pane via the outer pane can reach the light-sensitive surface of the light sensor and the light sensor only reacts to this light.
- the photosensitive surface is advantageously completely covered with a protective layer and preferably with a transparent protective layer, which protects the exposed surface of the photosensitive surface from mechanical and chemical damage, for example from moisture.
- the transparent protective layer is particularly preferably arranged between the light-sensitive surface and the outer pane and directly on the light-sensitive surface. It goes without saying that the protective layer can also have other passive or functional properties.
- the protective layer is preferably transparent or sufficiently transparent for the detection wavelength range of the light sensor. This means advantageously that the transmission for the wavelength range for which the light sensor is technically designed is more than 20%, preferably more than 50%, particularly preferably more than 70% and in particular more than 90%.
- the protective layer is arranged on the side of the light sensor facing the outer pane and directly on the light-sensitive surface. It goes without saying that the protective layer at least completely covers the light-sensitive surface, but can also protrude beyond the light-sensitive surface, which is the rule.
- a shadow mask is arranged between the light-sensitive surface and the outer pane, which mask covers the light-sensitive surface in sections.
- the shadow mask completely covers a first area of the light-sensitive surface, but does not cover a second area of the light-sensitive surface, i.e. the second area is completely uncovered.
- Covered area here means, in particular, the area of the light-sensitive surface that is shaded when the light is incident orthogonally on the shadow mask (or on the protective layer).
- the shadow mask is arranged in an orthogonal projection in sections over the light-sensitive surface.
- the protective layer consists of one or more layers, which preferably contain or consist of silicon oxide and / or silicon nitride.
- the thickness d of the entire protective layer is from 10 nm to 1000 nm.
- the shadow mask is designed in such a way that it is non-transparent for light in the
- the transmission for light is preferably im
- the detection wavelength range of the light sensor through the shadow mask is less than or equal to 50%, particularly preferably less than or equal to 30%, even more preferably less than or equal to 10%, even more preferably less than or equal to 5% and in particular less than or equal to 2%.
- the shadow mask is arranged directly on the protective layer and / or on a surface of the housing of the light sensor and / or on the interior-side surface II of the outer pane. It goes without saying that the shadow mask can at the same time have direct contact with the protective layer and the surface II of the outer pane arranged above it on the inside. It is also understood that further layers and / or electrical leads can be arranged between the shadow mask and the light-sensitive surface, which contribute to a defined distance a between the shadow mask and the light-sensitive surface.
- the shadow mask contains or consists of at least one colored layer, in particular with a black color.
- the colored layer is preferably applied directly to the protective layer and / or to a surface of the housing of the light sensor, in particular by printing or stamping. This is particularly advantageous since the shadow mask can be applied to the light sensor simply and with high accuracy before being installed in the composite pane and can no longer slip during installation or subsequently.
- the color layer preferably consists of a primer or an acrylic or synthetic resin varnish. It goes without saying that the shadow mask can also be applied directly to the surface of the outer pane on the inside and can, for example, consist entirely or partially of an opaque cover print, as is usually used in composite vehicle windows.
- the shadow mask can contain or consist of one or more foils, optionally with adhesive layers.
- the externally visible surface of the film i.e. the sides facing the outer pane are then preferably black or given a black color.
- Metal foils or metallized polymer foils are particularly suitable, since these have only a low light transmission even with a low material thickness.
- the shadow mask has a sharp edge between a first area that covers the protective layer and a second area that does not cover the protective layer. That is, the side surface of the shadow mask is as straight as possible and runs essentially at a 90 ° angle with respect to the extended sides of the shadow mask.
- the edge of the shadow mask is designed to be straight, slightly curved or at right angles along the boundary line between the first area and the second area.
- the light sensor or sensors are arranged on at least one printed circuit board, preferably on at least one flexible printed circuit board, and contacted with conductor tracks thereon.
- the evaluation and control electronics can automatically control the switching status of the headlights, for example. This increases the comfort for the driver, who no longer has to manually switch the headlights on and off. Further applications are, for example, the automatic electrical switching of the transmission properties of the entire pane or a pane area and the brightness control of display elements in the vehicle interior.
- SMD components are particularly suitable because of their small dimensions.
- SMD stands for the term surface-mounted device (surface-mounted component).
- SMD components have no wire connections, but are soldered directly onto the circuit board using solderable connection surfaces.
- Conventional components have to be passed through assembly holes and have to be soldered on the back of the circuit board. This does not apply to SMD components.
- This enables very dense assemblies, which reduces the space requirement. In terms of process technology, there is no need to drill holes in the circuit board. By eliminating connecting wires and smaller components, weight is reduced.
- the SMD technology is also particularly suitable for automated assembly (automated pick-up and placement of light sensors, automated soldering), which is particularly advantageous for industrial mass production.
- SMD light sensors typically have a housing, in particular a plastic housing, around the actual chip.
- so-called flip-chip light sensors can be used.
- light sensors with chip-on-board technology can be used, in which the semiconductor chips without a housing are arranged directly on the printed circuit board (PCB) or the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) and are connected to them and are preferably electrically contacted.
- Light sensors also known as photodetectors, optical detectors or optoelectronic sensors, are electronic components that emit light, in particular using the photoelectric effect, convert it into an electrical signal or exhibit an electrical resistance that is dependent on the incident radiation.
- the term light relates not only to visible light, but also to invisible infrared light and ultraviolet radiation.
- photodiodes are preferably used, which are sensitive in the visible spectral range.
- the spectral sensitivity distribution should advantageously be matched to that of the human eye so that the measured amount of light corresponds as closely as possible to the amount of light perceived by the vehicle occupants. Unwanted switching processes, which are caused by radiation that is not perceived as relevant by humans, can be avoided.
- An advantageous adaptation is given when the photodiode has a sensitivity in the entire spectral range between 500 nm and 600 nm which corresponds to at least 50% of its maximum sensitivity, preferably at least 60%.
- the maximum sensitivity should be in the range from 450 nm to 600 nm, in particular in the range from 490 nm to 570 nm.
- the sensitivity can also be referred to as detection efficiency and can be quantified as the proportion of detected photons in the total number of photons hitting the photodiode of the respective Wavelength.
- the desired spectral sensitivity is ideally influenced by the type of active material of the photodiode. Alternatively, however, an optical filter can also be used in order to achieve the desired spectral sensitivity, for example a filter film arranged on the outside of the photodiode. It goes without saying that this film is understood as part of the photodiode or the protective layer.
- the circuit board can also be referred to as a circuit board, printed circuit board (PCB). It is used for mechanical fastening and electrical connection of the photodiodes arranged on it.
- Circuit boards are made of electrically insulating material, especially plastic, with adhering, conductive connections (conductor tracks). The conductor tracks can have local widenings that serve as soldering surfaces for the components.
- the circuit board is a flexible circuit board, also known as a flexible circuit board.
- Such circuit boards are formed from flexible, bendable polymer films, for example polyimide films. They have a thickness of preferably less than 0.38 mm and greater than 50 ⁇ m, particularly preferably from 120 ⁇ m to 180 ⁇ m. This achieves particularly good results with regard to flexibility on the one hand and stability on the other. Due to the flexibility and small thickness, flexible printed circuit boards are particularly suitable for being laminated into a composite pane, in particular a curved composite pane.
- the light sensors are SMD components
- an SMD circuit board is expediently used.
- the circuit board can be arranged directly on one of the panes, in particular with the side facing away from the light sensor on the outside surface of the inner pane. It has been shown that the presence of the localized circuit board does not lead to a significant reduction in the stability of the laminate.
- the circuit board can also be sandwiched between two thermoplastic layers, i.e. be arranged between two layers of the thermoplastic intermediate layer.
- the circuit board has at least two connection surfaces for external electrical contacting (for example anode and cathode). These connection surfaces are used to connect the circuit board to external evaluation and control electronics via connection cables in order to feed the current pulse generated by the light sensor to the evaluation and control electronics.
- the connection surfaces are preferably contacted with a flat conductor (also called a flat strip conductor or foil conductor), comprising an electrically conductive foil and an optional, polymeric sheathing, which of course must have a cutout at the connection point.
- a flat conductor is preferably connected to the connection points of the circuit board, for example via a Solder mass or an electrically conductive adhesive.
- a multi-pole flat conductor is preferably used, each pole being connected to a connection surface. Alternatively, however, a separate flat conductor can also be used for each connection surface.
- the flat conductor preferably has a plug connector (plug or coupling) for connection to further cables of the on-board electrical system.
- the circuit board is preferably arranged completely in the interior of the composite pane and is in contact with a flat conductor which extends beyond the side edge out of the composite pane.
- the circuit board is contacted with the flat conductor before the composite pane is manufactured, in which case the circuit board is then arranged in the composite stack in such a way that it is arranged completely within the surface of the panes.
- the circuit board can also extend from the interior of the laminated pane beyond its side edges, the light sensors being arranged inside the laminated pane and the connection surfaces for the connecting cable outside the laminated pane.
- the circuit board can then be contacted with the connection cable after the composite pane has been manufactured.
- the composite pane with the integrated light sensor can be sold without a connection cable to the vehicle manufacturer, who then makes the contact before installing the composite pane.
- the flat conductor can also be connected to the circuit board beforehand and the composite pane with an integrated light sensor can be provided together with the connected flat conductor.
- the printed circuit board and flat conductor with plug connector can also be designed in one piece, so that the flat conductor is, as it were, an integral part of the printed circuit board with a common polymeric sheath.
- That side edge over which the circuit board or a flat conductor connected to it extends out of the composite pane is referred to in the context of the invention as that side edge to which the circuit board or the light sensor is assigned.
- several light sensors are arranged on a printed circuit board, preferably at least two, particularly preferably four light sensors. A better spatial resolution of the direction of radiation of the detected light can be achieved by using several light sensors.
- the distance between adjacent light sensors is at most 3 cm, preferably at most 2 cm, for example from 1 cm to 2 cm.
- the circuit board has a maximum width of at least 15 cm, preferably at least 20 cm.
- the width is the extension essentially parallel to the side edge to which the light sensor is assigned.
- the maximum width is the largest width that occurs along the entire length of the circuit board if the width is not constant.
- the circuit board preferably has at least one section with a width of at least 15 cm, particularly preferably at least 20 cm.
- the circuit board has an end section and a feed section, the feed section having a smaller width than the end section.
- the light sensors are arranged in the end section and the connection surfaces for the connection cable in the feed line section, in particular in the vicinity of the end of the feed line section facing away from the end section.
- the lead section has a smaller distance from the associated side edge than the end section and preferably extends over this side edge out of the composite pane.
- Such a circuit board is, for example, T-shaped, with the transverse bar (corresponds to the end section) facing away from the associated side edge.
- the feed line section preferably has a length of 1 cm to 12 cm, particularly preferably 2 cm to 8 cm.
- the feed section preferably has a width of 2 cm to 15 cm, particularly preferably 3 cm to 10 cm.
- the end section preferably has a length of 0.5 cm to 3 cm, particularly preferably 1 cm to 2 cm.
- the end section preferably has a width of 15 cm to 40 cm, particularly preferably 20 cm to 30 cm.
- the circuit board can also be designed rectangular. It can then also be divided into an end section with the light sensors and a lead section with the electrical contacts, although the lead and end sections have the same width.
- the composite pane comprises several light sensors, that is to say several printed circuit boards, each with at least one photodiode.
- this offers the advantage of redundancy: if one light sensor fails, functionality can still be ensured by the other light sensor or sensors.
- the presence of several light sensors distributed over the laminated pane enables a distinction between a local, approximately point-shaped radiation source such as a street lamp and the ambient light. In this way, misinterpretations by the evaluation and control electronics can be avoided. For example, it can be avoided that a street lamp is misinterpreted as bright ambient light and that the vehicle lighting is switched off at night as a result.
- the directional dependency of the incident radiation can be determined by comparing the intensities that are measured by the various light sensors.
- the direction of incidence of the detected light can be determined in the entire half-space above the outer pane. This can be used to determine the current position of the sun, for example.
- the width of each light sensor is less than 2 mm.
- the width is understood to mean the maximum lateral extent in a plane parallel to the circuit board. This means that the light sensors can be inconspicuously integrated into the composite pane. Any necessary holes in a masking print behind which the light sensor is to be hidden can be made small and inconspicuous.
- the height of the light sensors is preferably less than 0.7 mm, particularly preferably less than 0.6 mm. The light sensors can then be integrated into the composite pane using the standard thickness of the thermoplastic intermediate layer of 0.76 mm.
- the inner pane and the outer pane are preferably made of glass, particularly preferably soda-lime glass, which has proven itself for window glasses.
- the panes can also consist of other types of glass, for example borosilicate glass or aluminosilicate glass.
- the panes can in principle alternatively be made of plastic, in particular polycarbonate (PC) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). It goes without saying that the composite pane can also have a glass pane and a plastic pane.
- the thickness of the panes can vary widely and can therefore be perfectly adapted to the requirements of the individual case.
- the thicknesses of the outer pane and the inner pane are preferably from 0.5 mm to 10 mm, particularly preferably from 1 mm to 5 mm, very particularly preferably from 1.2 mm to 3 mm.
- the outer pane, the inner pane or the intermediate layer can be clear and colorless, but also tinted, cloudy or colored.
- the total transmission through the composite pane is greater than 70%, in particular if the composite pane is a windshield.
- the term overall transmission refers to the procedure for testing the light transmission of motor vehicle windows specified by ECE-R 43, Annex 3, Section 9.1.
- the outer pane and the inner pane can consist of non-toughened, partially toughened or toughened glass.
- the vehicle composite pane is preferably curved in one or more directions of the space, as is customary for motor vehicle windows, typical radii of curvature being in the range from approximately 10 cm to approximately 40 m.
- the laminated glass can also be flat, for example if it is provided as an architectural pane, for example in building glazing, or as a pane for buses, trains or tractors.
- the intermediate layer contains at least one thermoplastic polymer, preferably ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or polyurethane (PU) or mixtures or copolymers or derivatives thereof, particularly preferably PVB.
- the intermediate layer is formed from at least one thermoplastic film.
- the thickness of a thermoplastic film is preferably from 0.2 mm to 2 mm, particularly preferably from 0.3 mm to 1 mm, for example 0.38 mm or 0.76 mm.
- the intermediate layer can also be formed from what is known as an acoustic film, which has a noise-damping effect.
- Such films typically consist of at least three layers, the middle layer having a higher plasticity or elasticity than the outer layers surrounding it, for example as a result of a different proportion of plasticizers.
- the circuit board is preferably arranged in a non-transparent area of the laminated glass pane, so that it is not or hardly visible. In this area the view through is prevented by an opaque element. In the vehicle sector, opaque masking prints on one or both panes are common for this. Alternatively, the view through can also be prevented, for example, by a colored thermoplastic film of the intermediate layer or an opaque insert element.
- the opaque element is preferably arranged on the interior side of the light sensor, that is to say has a smaller distance from the interior or from the interior surface of the inner pane than the light sensor. Then the light sensor is not visible from the inside, while light can fall on it from the outside so that it can fulfill its function.
- opaque elements are attached in front of and behind the printed circuit board in the viewing direction, that is to say one opaque element on the inside and one on the outside of the light sensor.
- the circuit board is then neither visible from the outside nor from the inside. So that the light sensor can fulfill its function, the opaque element must of course have recesses at the location of the light sensors, because otherwise a detection of light would not be possible.
- An opaque element arranged on the interior side of the light sensor is preferably implemented by a cover print on the inner pane, an opaque element arranged on the outside of the light sensor by a cover print on the outer pane. Cover prints are common for vehicle windows outside the central field of vision, in order to conceal add-on parts or to protect the adhesive with which the vehicle window is connected to the body from UV radiation.
- the masking print typically consists of a black or dark enamel applied by screen printing and burned in.
- circuit board may also be desired not to cover the circuit board with a masking print so that it is visible from the outside. This increases the manufacturing tolerances in particular because the circuit board does not have to be positioned so precisely in order to be exactly overlaid with any cutouts in the black print.
- the light sensor can be combined, for example, with a rain sensor, in particular a capacitive rain sensor that detects the presence of moisture is determined on the disk based on a change in capacitance of at least one electrode.
- the conductive structures serving as electrodes can be arranged, for example, on the circuit board or on the inner pane.
- the rain sensor and the light sensor are preferably arranged in spatial proximity to one another or spatially superimposed, whereby a space-saving combined sensor element can be realized.
- the invention further comprises a method for producing a vehicle composite window with an integrated light sensor.
- an outer pane, an inner pane, at least one thermoplastic film and at least one light sensor located on a circuit board are arranged as a stack, so that the film and the light sensor are arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane.
- the two panes and the film or films between them are of course arranged flat and essentially congruent one above the other.
- the circuit board with the light sensors is placed in an area of this stack.
- the stack is then subjected to the usual processes for producing composite panes.
- the outer pane is connected to the inner pane by lamination via a thermoplastic intermediate layer which is formed from the at least one thermoplastic film during the process.
- the circuit board is preferably connected beforehand to a flat conductor and only then arranged in the stack. It is preferably arranged in such a way that the circuit board is arranged completely within the surface of the panes and the flat conductor extends beyond their side edges.
- the connection between the flat conductor and the connection surfaces of the circuit board can be made, for example, by soldering or using an electrically conductive adhesive. If the vehicle composite pane is to have a bend, as is customary in particular for passenger vehicles, the panes are subjected to a bending process before lamination, for example by means of gravity bending, suction bending and / or press bending. Typical bending temperatures are from 500 ° C to 700 ° C.
- An opaque cover print is preferably applied to the edge area of the outer pane and the inner pane before lamination and before the optional bending.
- a black or dark enamel is typically applied by screen printing and burned in before lamination, in particular before bending or during bending.
- the circuit board can be placed directly on one of the panes, in particular with the side facing away from the light sensors on the outside surface of the inner pane. All foils of the intermediate layer are then arranged on one side of the circuit board. Alternatively, the circuit board can also be inserted between two thermoplastic films which sandwich the circuit board.
- thermoplastic film that has not been further pretreated can be used.
- the heated, flowable thermoplastic material flows into the spaces around the light sensors and the circuit board, so that a stable bond is ensured.
- thermoplastic film or at least one thermoplastic film when using several films
- the thermoplastic film is provided with holes or depressions before lamination.
- the size, position and arrangement of these holes or depressions are matched to the light sensor or sensors. This means that the lateral dimensions of the holes or depressions essentially correspond to the dimensions of the light sensors or are slightly larger, in particular are at most 150% or at most 120% of the dimensions of the light sensors.
- the position of the holes or depressions corresponds to the desired positioning of the light sensor in the composite pane to be manufactured.
- the relative arrangement of the holes or depressions to one another corresponds to the relative arrangement of the light sensors to one another, provided that several light sensors are used. Holes and depressions on the one hand and light sensors on the other hand are in a key-keyhole relationship to one another.
- the light sensors are inserted into the holes or depressions.
- the light sensors are effectively embedded in the intermediate layer.
- the position of the light sensors is fixed during production, which is advantageous in terms of mass production.
- the holes or depressions can be created directly before lamination.
- the foils with the defined holes or depressions can also be prepared in large numbers or even obtained in this form from the foil supplier.
- the film can be provided with through holes. If the film has a thickness that is greater than the height of the light sensors, an actually undesirable cavity remains. This can optionally be filled, for example, through small cutouts in the thermoplastic film. It is even more advantageous because it is simpler in terms of process technology to provide the film with depressions instead of through holes, the depth of which essentially corresponds to the height of the light sensors. The undesired cavity is thus avoided without the need for rework.
- the depressions are introduced, for example, by punching.
- the invention also includes the use of a composite pane according to the invention with an integrated light sensor as a vehicle window, preferably in vehicles on water, on land or in the air, and particularly preferably as a windshield, rear window or roof window of a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car.
- the at least one light sensor is preferably connected to evaluation and control electronics of the vehicle.
- one or more of the following switching states can be controlled, for example:
- the switching status of the vehicle lighting (in particular headlights, tail lights and side marker lights): if the value falls below a predetermined threshold, the lighting is switched on; if the predetermined threshold is exceeded, the lighting is switched off.
- the transmission properties of a region of the composite pane which is equipped with an electrically switchable or controllable functional element is, in particular, a switchable or controllable glare protection in the upper third of the pane (also known as a shaded band).
- the switching state can be regulated as a function of the absolute amount of ambient light or also as a function of the position of the sun, which results from a location-dependent measurement with several photodiodes or light sensor elements. Anti-glare protection is particularly necessary when the sun is low.
- the controllable functional element can be, for example, an SPD element (suspended particle device) or an LC element (liquid crystal) or an electrochromic element.
- the intensity (brightness) of display elements in the vehicle interior for example LED display elements or OLED display elements or projections with HUD technology.
- the display elements are, for example, warning lights or information displays, in particular in the form of pictograms or in alphanumeric representation.

- FIGS. 1 A and 1 B each show schematic representations of the measuring principle according to the invention with different directions of incidence of light.
- 1A and 1B show a simplified illustration of a light sensor 4 according to the invention with a shadow mask 11.
- the light sensor 4 is here, for example, a photodiode 4.
- the photodiode 4 contains a semiconductor chip 4.3, in which a light-sensitive surface 4.1 is arranged on the light incidence side.
- the light-sensitive surface 4.1 is covered with a protective layer 4.2.
- the protective layer 4.2 is transparent to the wavelength of incident light to which the light-sensitive surface 4.1 is sensitive.
- the light-sensitive surface 4.1 has, for example, a square base area with a width (that is to say with a side length) of 1000 ⁇ m.
- the protective layer 4.2 has a thickness d of, for example, 500 nm.
- the distance a between the shadow mask 11 and the light-sensitive surface 4.1 is, for example, 1000 ⁇ m and thus roughly corresponds to the width of the light-sensitive surface 4.1.
- a shadow mask 11 is arranged above and in direct contact with the protective layer 4.2, which shadows half of the light-sensitive surface 4.1 with orthogonal projection (which corresponds to a perpendicular incidence of light).
- the shadow mask 11 is nontransparent for the wavelength of incident light to which the light-sensitive surface 4.1 is sensitive.
- FIG. 1A shows the situation of incident light from the right (symbolized by the arrows R). Due to the geometric shadow of the light rays R on the photosensitive surface 4.1, the illuminated surface B is approximately the entire total area G of the photosensitive surface 4.1.
- FIG. 1B shows the situation of incident light from the left (symbolized by the arrows L). Due to the geometric shadow of the light rays L on the photosensitive surface 4.1, the illuminated surface B is very small compared to the total surface G of the photosensitive surface 4.1.
- the leverage or reinforcement effect due to the layer thickness d of the transparent protective layer 4.2 is sufficient to determine the angle of incidence of the light with sufficient accuracy for the application of vehicle glazing.
- the arrangement shown has only a small overall thickness, so that it can be integrated into a composite pane.
- the angular resolutions of the arrangement according to the invention in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B can depend on the direction of incidence. I.e. the arrangement shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B can have a different sensitivity or angular resolution for the different directions of incidence of light (here right and left). It is therefore advantageous to use at least two light sensors 4 with two shadow masks 11 arranged in opposite directions.
- FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C each show a detail of a composite pane 100 according to the invention with an integrated light sensor 4 using the example of a vehicle composite pane.
- the composite pane 100 is composed of an outer pane 1 (with an outside surface I and an interior surface II) and an inner pane 2 (with an outside surface III and an interior surface IV), which are flatly connected to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer 3.
- the outer pane 1 and the inner pane 2 consist for example of soda-lime glass and have a thickness of 2.1 mm, for example.
- the intermediate layer 3 is formed from a 0.76 mm thick film made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB).
- the composite pane 100 is provided, for example, as a windshield of a motor vehicle. It goes without saying that the composite pane can also be another vehicle pane, for example a roof pane.
- each photodiode 4 consists of a housing 4.4, in which a semiconductor chip 4.3 is arranged.
- the semiconductor chip 4.3 can be contacted via solder connections 4.5.
- the semiconductor chip 4.3 contains a light-sensitive surface 4.1 which is covered and protected by a transparent protective layer 4.2.
- the protective layer 4.2 can for example consist of a thin layer of silicon oxide or silicon nitride. A defined distance a between the light-sensitive surface 4.1 and the shadow mask 11, which can have other layers or conventional electrical leads in addition to the protective layer 4.2, is particularly important here.
- the photodiodes 4 are arranged on a common flexible printed circuit board 5, which is arranged, for example, in the center of the laminated pane 100 and in the region of the upper edge O. It goes without saying that one or more light sensors 4 can also be arranged at different points on the laminated pane 100, for example in the area of the corners of the laminated pane 100 and / or on the side edges or on the lower edge U.
- the circuit board 5 is completely within the laminated pane arranged. It rests directly on the outside surface III of the inner pane 2 and is connected to the outer pane 1 via the intermediate layer 3. It has two electrical connection surfaces (not shown), each of which is soldered to one pole of a two-pole flat conductor as a connection cable 6.
- connection cable 6 extends out of the composite beyond the upper edge O.
- the connection cable 6 is used to electrically connect the printed circuit board 5 via further connection cables (typically round cables) to evaluation and control electronics as part of the vehicle's on-board electronics.
- the evaluation and control electronics analyze the signals from the photodiodes 4 - for example, the evaluation and control electronics can switch the vehicle lighting on or off depending on the amount of spatially resolved ambient light determined by the photodiodes 4, regulate a darkening (not shown here) or control the air conditioning.
- the system can differentiate between the ambient light that is produced by all light sensors 4 essentially with the same Intensity is measured, and a local light source such as a street lamp or solar radiation, which is measured by the distributed light sensors 4 with greatly different intensity.
- a local light source such as a street lamp or solar radiation
- SMD photodiodes of the type APDS-9005 from Avago Technologies are suitable as light sensors 4. They advantageously have small dimensions (height 0.55 mm, width 1.6 mm, depth 1.5 mm) and a spectral sensitivity distribution that closely mimics that of the human eye.
- the maximum sensitivity is around 500 nm, and in the entire range from 500 nm to 600 nm, the sensitivity is more than 60% of the maximum value at 500 nm. This ensures that the amount of light measured by the light sensor also corresponds to that classified as relevant by humans .
- the printed circuit board 5 is a flexible printed circuit board, comprising a polyimide film approximately 150 ⁇ m thick and printed conductors. All photodiodes 4 of the circuit board are arranged here, for example, in the end section, while the feed line section is used to connect to the connection cable 6. At the end of the supply line section, two connection surfaces (not shown) are arranged which correspond to the two poles of the system on conductor tracks and which are each soldered to one pole of the two-pole connection cable 6.
- the composite pane 100 has a frame-like, opaque cover print 7.
- the cover print 7 is designed, for example, as a printed and burned-in black enamel on the surfaces II of the outer pane 1 on the inside.
- the printed circuit boards 5 are arranged in the area of the cover print 7 so that they are not visible either from the outside or from the inside.
- the outer cover print 7 on the outer pane 1 has holes at the locations of the photodiodes 4 so that light can fall on the photodiodes 4 and the light sensors 4 can fulfill their function.
- the shadow mask 11 is likewise designed as a black print on the surface II of the outer pane 1 on the inside.
- the shadow mask 11 can also be designed as an inserted or glued-on light-tight film.
- the shadow mask 11 can also be formed directly as a print on the light sensor 4 (and here on the photodiode 4) and thereby on the transparent protective layer 4.2, as is explained in FIGS. 5A, 5B and 6.
- FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the composite pane 100 according to FIG. 2C, so that reference is made to the description there and only the differences are described below.
- the composite pane according to FIG. 3 has four photodiodes 4, for example.
- the shadow mask 11 is designed here as a circumferential frame, under each of the inner corners of which a light-sensitive surface 4.1 of a photodiode 4 is arranged. By suitably evaluating the electrical signals, it is possible to precisely locate incident light in the hemispherical space around the outer pane.
- FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C show further preferred embodiments. Here, too, reference is made to the description of FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C.
- FIG. 3 does not have to be closed all round, but can instead consist of individual sections.
- FIG. 4A this is a U-shaped frame which has a further section at the open end. This further section can also be part of the cover print 7, for example.
- FIG. 4B shows an embodiment example with a shadow mask made of a circular ring-shaped frame under which three photodiodes 4 are arranged.
- a precise hemispherical location of light irradiation can be carried out by suitable evaluation of the electrical signals.
- FIG. 4C shows a further exemplary embodiment with a shadow mask 11 with a rectangular shape with two photodiodes 4.
- the photodiodes 4 are on adjacent sides of the rectangle, so that measurements can be made in two mutually orthogonal directions of incidence of light.
- Figures 5A and 5B show a cross-sectional view and a top view of a further embodiment of a light sensor 4 according to the invention using the example of a photodiode 4 according to the invention.
- the cross-section of Figure 5A along the section line B-B ‘from Figure 5B is selected.
- the shadow mask 11 is arranged on the photodiode 4 and firmly connected to it.
- the shadow mask 11 is, for example, a paint or lacquer layer that is applied to the photodiode 4, for example by printing or stamping.
- Such photodiodes 4 according to the invention have the particular advantage that the shadow mask 11 is arranged in a defined position relative to the photodiode 4. This offers greater flexibility and allows greater installation tolerances compared to an arrangement in which the shadow mask 11 is fixedly arranged on the outer pane 1 and the photodiode 4 then has to be precisely aligned relative to the shadow mask 11.
- FIG. 6 shows an application example of the photodiodes 4 from FIGS. 5A and 5B.
- the photodiodes 4 are arranged freely on a circuit board 5. This is particularly advantageous if further sensors or actuators are to be arranged on the circuit board 5 or the circuit board 5 has a particularly irregular shape due to the technical conditions.
- the shadow masks 11 are arranged in four different directions relative to the photodiode 4: In the case of the photodiode 4 'at the top, with the photodiode 4 "on the left, with the photodiode 4" on the right and with the photodiode 4 below in a plan view of the outer pane 1 a composite pane 100.
- a suitable evaluation of the electrical signals can be used to precisely locate incident light within a hemispherical space.
- FIG. 7 shows a flow chart of an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention for producing a laminated pane 100 with an integrated light sensor 4 with the following exemplary method steps:
- PCB printed circuit board
