Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling a glazing unit with electrically controllable optical properties, a glazing unit and a use of the glazing unit.
- Such glazing units are often composite panes in which a functional element is embedded.
- the composite panes consist of at least one outer pane, one inner pane and an adhesive intermediate layer that connects the outer pane to the inner pane over a large area.
- Typical intermediate layers are polyvinyl butyral films, which, in addition to their adhesive properties, have high toughness and high acoustic damping.
- the intermediate layer prevents the laminated glass pane from disintegrating in the event of damage.
- the composite pane only gets cracks, but remains dimensionally stable.
- Composite panes with electrically controllable optical properties are known from the prior art.
- Such compound panes contain a functional element, which typically contains an active layer between two surface electrodes.
- the optical properties, in particular the transmission of visible light, of the active layer can be changed by a voltage applied to the surface electrodes.
- electrochromic functional elements which are known, for example, from US 20120026573 A1 and WO 2012007334 A1.
- SPD functional elements Supended Particle Device
- PDLC functional elements Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal
- the applied voltage can be used to control the transmission of visible light through electrochromic or SPD/PDLC functional elements.
- SPD and PDLC functional elements are commercially available as multilayer films.
- the surface electrodes required to apply a voltage are arranged between two PET carrier foils.
- the functional element is made from the multi-layer film in the desired size and shape cut out and inserted between the foils of an intermediate layer.
- the surface electrodes are electrically connected to a control module (ECU) via flat conductors outside the laminated pane.
- the control module is designed to apply an electrical voltage between the surface electrodes.
- Windshields have been proposed in which an electrically controllable sun visor is realized by a functional element in order to replace the mechanically foldable sun visor in motor vehicles.
- WO2019/011891 A1 discloses a device for operating a functional element with electrically controllable optical properties.
- a glazing unit with such a functional element has a temperature dependency of its transmission or transparency.
- the switchable functional elements have a characteristic curve that deviates significantly from a straight line and makes reproducible switching behavior difficult.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved method in which the switching behavior of the transparency is improved.
- the method for electrically controlling at least one functional element embedded in a glazing unit with electrically controllable optical properties comprises a glazing unit.
- the glazing unit comprises a laminated pane which has an outer pane and an inner pane.
- the outer pane and the inner pane are connected to each other via a thermoplastic intermediate layer.
- the functional element is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane and has an active layer with electrically controllable optical properties between a first flat electrode and a second flat electrode on.
- the optical properties are controlled by a control unit, the control unit being connected to at least two transparent surface electrodes of the functional element. An electrical voltage is applied between the surface electrodes by means of the control unit.
- An inverse function is used to determine a magnitude of the electrical voltage, with the inverse function being used as a temperature-dependent linearization function.
- a temperature of the functional element is recorded by means of a temperature sensor and is transmitted to the control unit.
- the magnitude of the electrical voltage is determined by the control unit as a function of the temperature of the functional element and is applied between the surface electrodes.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that the switching behavior of electrically switchable functional elements is temperature-dependent.
- An electrical voltage that is applied to the surface electrodes leads to a greater change in the optical properties, in particular transparency, the higher the temperature of the functional element or the laminated pane.
- the inverse function is used as a temperature-dependent linearization function, a non-linear calibration function can be linearized.
- the linearization function is the inverse function, that is to say the inverse function, of the calibration function, in particular of the temperature-dependent calibration function. So if the inverse function is used as a temperature-dependent linearization function, a switching state can be set precisely at a given temperature.
- the temperature of the functional element or of the laminated pane is determined in order to adapt the voltage to be applied to this temperature. It is assumed here that the laminated pane has a homogeneous temperature overall, ie the temperature of the functional element corresponds to the temperature of other areas of the laminated pane, which is typically at least approximately the case. The determination of the temperature of the laminated pane therefore corresponds at least approximately to the determination of the temperature of the functional element.
- the glazing unit in particular the laminated pane, is preferably equipped with the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is connected to the control unit in such a way that the control unit can determine the temperature of the laminated pane using the temperature sensor.
- the measurement signal from the temperature sensor is therefore transmitted to the control unit and evaluated there, so that the control unit determines the temperature of the laminated pane using the temperature sensor.
- the temperature sensor can be integrated in the composite pane by being embedded in the intermediate layer. Alternatively, the temperature sensor can be fastened externally to the laminated pane or assigned to it. The temperature sensor is preferably attached to the inner pane. The temperature sensor can also be arranged in the control unit itself or in a fastening element with which the control unit is fastened to the laminated pane.
- a temperature sensor can also be used that is not attached directly to the laminated pane or integrated into it, but measures the temperature at a distance, for example an IR sensor (infrared sensor), which is arranged in the vicinity of the laminated pane and is directed towards it.
- the temperature of the functional element or the laminated pane can be from 30° to 80°, in particular in the range from 40° to 60°.
- the temperature sensor is arranged in the glazing unit on a flat conductor or a flexible circuit board.
- the temperature sensor is a temperature-dependent resistor.
- a PTC resistor or PTC thermistor is preferably used as the temperature sensor.
- Platinum resistors, for example Pt100, are particularly preferably used for temperature measurement.
- the temperature sensor is spatially assigned to the functional element and detects an actual temperature of the functional element.
- the temperature sensor is arranged and designed in such a way that it can detect the temperature of the functional element.
- the temperature sensor can preferably be applied to the functional element.

- the thermoplastic intermediate layer serves to connect the two panes.
- the glazing unit and the method are presented together, with explanations and preferred embodiments relating equally to the glazing unit and the method. If preferred features are described in connection with the method, this means that the glazing unit is also preferably designed and suitable accordingly. Conversely, are preferred features related to the Glazing unit described, it follows that the method is preferably carried out accordingly.
- the thermoplastic 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 typically formed from a thermoplastic film.

- the thickness of the outer pane and the inner pane can vary widely. Disks with a thickness in the range from 0.8 mm to 5 mm, preferably from 1.4 mm to 2.5 mm, are preferably used, for example those with the standard thicknesses of 1.6 mm or 2.1 mm.
- the outer pane, the inner pane and the thermoplastic intermediate layer can be clear and colorless, but also tinted or colored.
- a corresponding glazing unit as a windshield must have sufficient light transmission in the central viewing area, preferably at least 70% in the main viewing area A in accordance with ECE-R43.
- the outer pane and the inner panes can be unprestressed, partially prestressed or prestressed independently of one another. If at least one of the panes is to have a prestress, this can be a thermal or chemical prestress.
- the outer pane, the inner pane and/or the intermediate layer can have other suitable coatings known per se, for example anti-reflection coatings, non-stick coatings, anti-scratch coatings, photocatalytic coatings or sun protection coatings or low-E coatings.
- the outer pane and the inner pane are laminated to one another via the intermediate layer, for example by autoclave methods, vacuum bag methods, vacuum ring methods, calendering methods, vacuum laminators or combinations thereof.
- the outer pane and inner pane are usually connected under the action of heat, vacuum and/or pressure.
- the glazing unit includes a functional element with electrically controllable optical properties, which is embedded in the intermediate layer.
- the functional element is typically arranged between at least two layers of thermoplastic material of the intermediate layer, being connected to the outer pane by the first layer and to the inner pane by the second layer.
- Such a functional element comprises at least the active layer, which is arranged between a first carrier film and a second carrier film.
- the active layer has the variable optical properties that can be controlled by an electrical voltage applied to the active layer.
- electrically controllable optical properties are understood to mean properties that can be continuously controlled, but equally also those that can be switched between two or more discrete states.
- the optical properties relate in particular to the transparency (transmission or also called light transmission) and/or the scattering behavior.
- the functional element also includes surface electrodes for applying the voltage to the active layer, which are preferably arranged between the carrier foils and the active layer.
- the functional element is a PDLC functional element, in particular one that switches at least one area of the glazing unit from a transparent to an opaque state and vice versa.
- the active layer of a PDLC functional element contains liquid crystals embedded in a polymer matrix.
- the functional element is an SPD functional element.
- the active layer contains suspended particles, and the absorption of light by the active layer can be changed by applying a voltage to the surface electrodes.
- the surface electrodes and the active layer are arranged essentially parallel to the surfaces of the outer pane and the inner pane. The surface electrodes are connected to an external voltage source.
- the electrical contacting, as well as the connection to the energy source of the active layer, is realized by suitable connecting cables, for example flat conductors or foil conductors, which can optionally be connected to the surface electrodes via so-called bus bars, for example strips of an electrically conductive material or electrically conductive imprints are connected.
- the thickness of the functional element is, for example, from 0.4 mm to 1 mm.
- the invention also encompasses a glazing unit of a vehicle or building, at least comprising a laminated pane with electrically controllable optical properties.
- the laminated pane comprises the outer pane and the inner pane, which are connected to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer and into which a functional element with electrically controllable optical properties is embedded.
- the functional element has an active layer, to which transparent surface electrodes are assigned on both surfaces.
- the glazing unit also includes a control unit for electrically controlling the optical properties of the glazing unit according to the method according to the invention, which is connected to the surface electrodes of the functional element and is designed to apply an electrical voltage between the surface electrodes.
- the functional element is a PDLC functional element, an SPD functional element or an electrochromic functional element.
- the functional element is a PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal) functional element.
- the active layer of a PDLC functional element contains liquid crystals embedded in a polymer matrix. If no voltage is applied to the surface electrodes, the liquid crystals are aligned in a disorderly manner, which leads to strong scattering of the light passing through the active layer. If a voltage is applied to the surface electrodes, the liquid crystals align in a common direction and the transmission of light through the active layer is increased.
- other functional elements can also be used, the variability of the optical properties of which is based on liquid crystals, for example PNLC functional elements (polymer networked liquid crystal).
- the functional element is an SPD (suspended particle device) functional element.
- the active layer contains suspended particles, and the absorption of light by the active layer can be changed by applying a voltage to the surface electrodes.
- the active layer of the functional element is an electrochemically active layer.
- Such functional elements are known as electrochromic functional elements.
- the transmission of visible light depends on the degree of incorporation of ions in the active layer, with the ions being provided, for example, by an ion storage layer between the active layer and a surface electrode.
- the transmission can be influenced by the voltage applied to the surface electrodes, which causes the ions to migrate.
- Suitable functional layers contain, for example, at least tungsten oxide or vanadium oxide.
- the control unit includes a DC voltage converter and/or an inverter. Since the on-board voltage of a vehicle is 12 to 14V, for example, it is not sufficient to operate a functional element. For this reason, the control unit is preferably equipped with a DC/DC converter.
- the DC-DC converter is intended to convert a DC voltage as a primary voltage into a higher secondary voltage (e.g. 65 V). In an advantageous embodiment, the secondary voltage can be 5 V to 70 V.
- the temperature sensor and a voltage supply unit are coupled to the control unit.
- the inverter is intended to convert the secondary voltage into an AC voltage, with the secondary voltage being applied to the surface electrodes. This is particularly advantageous when the glazing unit is installed in a vehicle and connected to the vehicle's on-board voltage.
- the control unit has an inverter.
- the AC voltage can be from 5V to 50V.

- the printing ink is typically applied and baked using the screen printing process.
- Such a covering print is applied to at least one of the pane surfaces, preferably the interior-side surface of the outer pane and/or the inner pane.
- the masking print preferably encloses a central viewing area in the manner of a frame and serves in particular to protect the adhesive, by which the laminated pane is connected to the vehicle body, from UV radiation. If the control unit and the temperature sensor are attached to the inner pane, then preferably in the opaque edge area of the cover print.
- a vehicle in particular a passenger car, is described with the glazing unit according to the invention.
- a further aspect of the invention includes the use of the glazing unit according to the invention in means of transport for traffic on land, in the air or on water, in particular in motor vehicles, for example as a windshield, rear window, side window and/or roof window and as a functional individual piece, and as a built-in part in furniture, appliances and buildings.

- the first thermoplastic layer 3a is connected to the outer pane 1, the second thermoplastic layer 3b to the inner pane 1b.
- the intervening third thermoplastic layer surrounds the cut-to-size functional element 2 (PDLC multi-layer film) essentially flush on all sides.
- the functional element 2 is thus embedded all around in thermoplastic material and is protected as a result.
- the laminated pane 1 is equipped with a temperature sensor 4 for detecting the temperature.
- the temperature sensor 4 is connected to the control unit 11 in such a way that the control unit 11 can determine the temperature of the laminated pane 1 by means of the temperature sensor 4 .
- the measurement signal from the temperature sensor 4 is therefore transmitted to the control unit 11 and evaluated there, so that the control unit 11 detects the temperature of the laminated pane 1 and/or the functional element 2 .
- the temperature sensor 4 is arranged in the laminated pane 1 . It is embedded in the intermediate layer 3.
- the temperature sensor 4 is attached to a surface of the inner pane 1b. Alternatively, the temperature sensor 4 can be fastened externally to the laminated pane 1 or assigned to it.
- the temperature sensor 4 can also be arranged in the control unit 11 itself or in a fastening element with which the control unit 11 can be fastened to the laminated pane 1 .
- a temperature sensor 4 can also be used which is not attached directly to the laminated pane 1 or integrated into it, but instead measures the temperature at a distance, for example an IR sensor which is arranged in the vicinity of the laminated pane and directed towards it.
- the laminated pane 1 can have a peripheral edge area which is provided with an opaque cover print.
- This masking print is typically formed from a black enamel. It is printed as a printing ink with a black pigment and glass frits in a screen printing process and burned into the surface of the pane.
- the covering print is, for example, on a surface of the outer pane 1 a and on the interior side also applied to an interior-side surface of the inner panel 1b.
- the side edges of the functional element 2 are covered by this cover print.
- the control unit 11 and the temperature sensor 4 can be arranged in this opaque edge area, ie glued onto the covering print of the inner pane 2 . There, the control unit 11 does not interfere with the view through the laminated pane and is optically unobtrusive. In addition, it is at a small distance from the side edge of the laminated pane 1, so that only short cables are advantageously required for the electrical connection of the functional element 2.
- FIG. 1 also shows the switched-on state of the glazing unit 100 with the functional element 2 embedded in the laminated pane 1.
- the glazing unit 100 also includes a control unit 11 (also called ECU in a motor vehicle), which is electrically connected to the functional element 2 via a closed switch 12, so that an electrical voltage V can be applied to the functional element 2 .
- a control unit 11 also called ECU in a motor vehicle
- the electrical voltage V applied between two surface electrodes 10 of the functional element 2 can be a direct voltage or an alternating voltage.
- the voltage is an AC voltage.
- the control unit 11 is equipped with a DC voltage converter, which converts an on-board voltage (primary voltage) into a DC voltage with a higher magnitude, for example 65 V (secondary voltage).
- the secondary voltage must be sufficiently high to realize a switching state of the functional element 2 of 100%.
- the control unit 11 is also equipped with an inverter that converts the secondary voltage into an AC voltage.
- the optical properties of the glazing unit 100 are controlled by the control unit 11 .
- the control unit 11 is electrically connected to the two transparent surface electrodes 10 of the functional element 2 .
- the functional element 2 is a multi-layer film composed of an active layer 9, the two surface electrodes 10 and two carrier films. Such multilayer films are commercially available as PDLC multilayer films.
- the active layer 9 is arranged between the two surface electrodes 10 .
- the active layer 9 contains a polymer matrix with liquid crystals dispersed therein, which, depending on the surface electrodes 10 align applied electrical voltage, whereby the optical properties can be controlled.
- the carrier foils are made of PET and have a thickness of about 0.125 mm.
- the carrier foils are provided with a coating of ITO with a thickness of approximately 100 nm (nanometers) facing the active layer 9 , which forms the surface electrodes 10 .
- the surface electrodes 10 are formed free of insulation lines. They are designed over the entire surface, ie they each form a cohesive, complete layer. They have no subdivisions or segments.
- FIG. 2 shows a diagram of the haze of a PDLC functional element plotted against a voltage VRMS present at the surface electrodes at room temperature of approx. 25° C. and without the method according to the invention being used.
- the measurements recorded in the diagram form a calibration function of the functional element 2, in particular the temperature-dependent calibration function.
- the diagram makes it clear that the turbidity does not behave linearly with the applied voltage. To reduce haze by 50%, a voltage must be reduced by more than 50%.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a method according to the invention.
- an inverse function 300 is applied to a desired value 200 of the turbidity.
- the inverse function 300 is determined from the calibration function of the functional element 2 .
- the result is a voltage value of 400, which can be applied to the surface electrodes in order to achieve a desired transparency of the functional element 2.
- FIG. 4 shows a diagram of the transparency of the electrically controllable functional element 2 as a function of the electrical voltage VRMS and the temperature of the functional element 2.
- the diagram illustrates a temperature dependence of the transparency.
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic representation of a further embodiment of the method according to the invention. Since the transparency of the functional element 2 is temperature-dependent, a temperature-dependent inverse function 300 'as temperature-dependent linearization function applied to determine a voltage value of 400. For this purpose, a temperature value 500 of the functional element 2 or of the laminated pane 1 is determined.
- a major advantage of the invention is that the switching behavior of the glazing unit is improved by determining the temperature, since the temperature detected by the temperature sensor can be taken into account when controlling the functional element.
