Definitions
- the invention relates to a housing for the so-called white / gray goods, in particular an electrical household appliance, a device for consumer electronics, including mobile devices such as cell phones etc. and / or a large device, for example from the medical, power plant or automotive sectors.
- Housings which can be replaced, so that, for example, color effects of the housing can be changed and adapted to the needs of the owner.
- the disadvantage of this is that the housings always show only one color and otherwise have no functions.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a housing that can perform several functions and shows color changes without replacing solid parts.
- the invention relates to a housing which comprises a solid base body which is coated at least in some areas with a film, the film serving as a substrate on which at least one electronic component is built.
- the electronic component is an electrochemical cell, the doping of the dye causing a change in the color of the electrochemical component.
- an electrochemical cell which comprises an electrode, the respective electrochromic dye, the electrolyte and a counterelectrode, encapsulation between the two electrodes being useful in order to prevent loss of the To avoid electrolytes.
- the electrochromic dye is doped by applying a voltage, which causes the ions of the electrolyte to diffuse into the dye and to oxidize or reduce it. If a housing is coated with such an electrochromic film, the color of the housing can be changed by applying a low voltage. The change in color is preferably reversible.
- an electronic component is a photovoltaic cell, for example a solar cell.
- a photovoltaic cell for example a solar cell.
- the use of organic or at least predominantly made of organic materials solar cells is interesting, since the solar cell, by the way, even in weak ambient light, provides enough electrical power to switch the electrochromic color.
- an electronic component is, for example, a photodetector that can detect the ambient light (intensity and / or color) and switches the color of the film and thus of the coated part of the housing depending on the ambient conditions.
- different electronic components which comprise different sensors, can be built up on the film.
- gas, temperature, humidity and / or other sensors can be used to provide information regarding various environmental conditions via the housing.
- the current environmental situation in which it is located can be read from the housing. This applies in particular to radiation (UV, X-ray, radioactivity) and / or air (ozone) and / or for other loads which can be determined by means of sensors.
- electrochromic color systems that can be used: polyanilines (PANI), PEDOT or derivatives thereof, vinologens or other conjugated polymeric or molecular color systems that change their color status upon oxidation or reduction.
- PANI polyanilines
- PEDOT PEDOT or derivatives thereof
- vinologens or other conjugated polymeric or molecular color systems that change their color status upon oxidation or reduction.
- the solid base body of the housing is made of the plastics, such as PVC, PE, etc., which have hitherto been customary for such housings.
- Preferred housings are those of telephones, in particular of mobile telephones, walk-man devices, but also helmets, bicycle plates, car chassis, etc.
- the film that serves as the substrate for the electronic component is preferably a flexible film such as PET, PMMA, PC, Polyi id ....
- the electronic components are preferably those which are predominantly composed of organic material
- the term “organic material * or“ functional polymer ”or“ polymer ”here being all types of organic, organometallic and / or organo-inorganic plastics (hybrids) in particular includes, for example, "plastics", which are all types of substances with the exception of the semiconductors that form the classic diodes (germanium, silicon) and the typical metallic conductors - a limitation in the dogmatic sense organic material as carbon-containing material is therefore not intended, rather the broad use of, for example, silicones is also contemplated, and the ter should not be subject to any restriction with regard to the molecular size, in particular to polymeric and / or oligomeric materials, but rather it is the use of "small molecules” is also possible.
- the word component "p polymer "in the functional polymer is historically determined and therefore contains no information about the presence of an actually polymeric compound.
- the term functional polymer can refer to semiconducting, conducting and / or
- Electronic components predominantly formed from organic material are distinguished by the fact that they can generally be built up on flexible substrates.
- the individual functional layers such as conductors, semiconductors, insulators, emitting layers, photovoltaically active layers etc. are included. made primarily of organic material. Due to the solubility of the organic material, these components can often be produced by printing and / or in simple roll-to-roll processes.
- the invention makes it possible for the first time to include a housing in the functionality of the device, that is to say, to create additional economic value through the design and effect of the housing.
- the changeable color of the housing alone is an improvement, but especially the possible combinations, which are made possible by the inclusion of different sensors and / or energy sources such as solar cells, are particularly advantageous.
