Embodiment Construction

[0015] figure 1 A sun protection device 4 according to an embodiment is schematically shown. In the present variant, the device 4 is designed as a sunroof for a vehicle. The sun protection device 4 can likewise be used for window panes, glass roofs, glass walls or substantially light-transmitting windows, doors, walls or other components. In the case of a vehicle-related application, the vehicle may be, for example, an airplane, a ship or a motor vehicle 15 (eg a passenger car, truck, motorcycle or other motor vehicle).

[0016] exist figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, a seat 6 of a motor vehicle is shown in an exemplary manner in the passenger compartment, above which a not explicitly shown roof with a light-transmitting surface is arranged. The roof includes skylights and is constructed with sun protection 4 according to one embodiment.

[0017] The sun protection device 4 comprises a light-transmitting part 16 having a surface 17 and a plurality of surface elements...

Abstract

A solar-protection device is described for shading a light-transmitting surface, said solar-protection device including a light-transmitting component with a surface and with a number of surface elements arranged on the surface in the form of a grid, which are designed to vary their transmittance. The solar-protection device includes at least one device for determining the radiation intensity of the sunlight irradiation, at least one device for determining the direction of irradiation of the sunlight, and a control unit, designed to reduce, in a manner depending on the radiation intensity andon the direction of irradiation of the sunlight, the transmittance of a selected number of surface elements, so that the selected surface elements generate a pattern that can be varied in a manner depending on the direction of irradiation of the sunlight.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a sun protection device for shading a light-transmitting surface, in particular for sunroofs and vehicles, and a method for operating a sun protection device to shade a light-transmitting surface. Background technique [0002] Sunroofs, particularly those used in motor vehicles, typically provide users with a defined level of shade and heat transfer defined by the configuration of the sunroof. Especially in connection with the sunroof of the passenger compartment, this may be uncomfortable for many passengers and users. For example, there is often a conflict of being too hot or too bright for passengers. [0003] U.S. Patent No. 8,102,586 B2 discloses a window screening system for houses and vehicles that is automatically electronically controlled, wherein the window(s) are partially closed in a manner that depends on the intensity and direction of the light. ground coloring. [0004] In the context that ha...
