Definitions
- the invention relates to a composite pane with a functional element, a method for its production, the use of such a composite pane and a glazing unit with the composite pane.
- composite panes with electrically controllable functional elements are often used for sun protection or privacy.
- windshields are known in which a sun visor is integrated in the form of a functional element with electrically controllable optical properties.
- the functional elements are usually film-like and are laminated into a composite pane or glued to it.
- the driver can control the transmission behavior of the pane himself with regard to solar radiation.
- a conventional mechanical sun visor can be dispensed with. This reduces the weight of the vehicle and saves space in the roof area.
- electrically controlling the sun visor is more convenient for the driver than manually folding down the mechanical sun visor.
- Windshields with such electrically controllable sun visors are known, for example, from DE102013001334A1, DE102005049081 B3,
- Typical electrically controllable functional elements contain electrochromic layer structures or single particle device (SPD) films.
- Other possible functional elements for implementing electrically controllable sun protection are so-called PDLC functional elements (polymer dispersed liquid crystal).
- Their active layer contains liquid crystals embedded in a polymer matrix. If no voltage is applied, the liquid crystals are aligned in a disordered manner, which leads to a 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.
- the PDLC functional element works less by reducing the overall transmission, but by increasing the scattering in order to ensure glare protection.
- PDLC functional elements are known, for example, from US20150301367A1.
- a problem with laminated functional elements arises from the penetration of gas and the diffusion of plasticizers or other harmful compounds into the functional element.
- the substances often penetrate through the poorly protected side surfaces of the functional element, which often leads to undesirable signs of aging, such as lightening and changes in shading. These problems occur particularly with PDLC functional elements.
- JP 2008225399 discloses a liquid crystal display element on a flexible substrate, such as a plastic film, wherein the side surfaces have a gas barrier layer that prevents the penetration of gas via a side surface of the substrate.
- W02019077014A1 and WO2018188844A1 disclose composite panes with a functional element, wherein the functional element is protected against the penetration of plasticizer from the thermoplastic intermediate layer by means of several barrier layers on the side surface.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved functional element with electrically controllable optical properties, which has good aging resistance and can be produced cost-effectively.
- the composite pane according to the invention comprises an outer pane, a thermoplastic intermediate layer, an inner pane and a functional element with electrically controllable optical properties arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane.
- the functional element comprises an active layer which has a first surface, a second surface and a peripheral side surface, a first surface electrode, a second surface electrode, a third surface electrode and an electrical bridge which electrically connects the first surface electrode to the third surface electrode.
- the thermoplastic intermediate layer is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane.
- the active layer and the surface electrodes are designed like foils and form a stacking sequence.
- Foils typically have a large surface area but only a small total thickness.
- the large surfaces of the stacking sequence that limit the stacking sequence are referred to as the upper surface and lower surface and the orthogonal surfaces that have only a small width (corresponding to the direction of the small total thickness) are referred to as side surfaces.
- the first surface and the second surface of the active layer are arranged parallel to the lower and upper surfaces of the stacking sequence.
- the side surface of the active layer refers only to the side surface of the active layer, whereas when we talk about the side surface of the functional element, we mean the side surface of the entire stacking sequence. When we talk about "the side surface”, we mean the side surface of the active layer.
- the first surface electrode extends in a first region of the active layer over the first surface of the active layer.
- the second surface electrode extends in a second region of the active layer over the first surface of the active layer.
- the third surface electrode extends at least in the first region of the active layer and in the second region of the active layer over the second surface of the active layer. Preferably, the third surface electrode extends over the entire second surface of the active layer.
- the electrical bridge electrically connects the first surface electrode to the third surface electrode.
- the area of the first region and the area of the second region of the active layer result in the total area of the active layer, so that the first surface electrode and the second surface electrode extend over the entire first surface of the active layer, minus an insulation region, for example an insulation line, which is arranged between the first and the second surface electrode.
- the active layer preferably has a first segment at least in the first region and a second segment at least in the second region.
- the active layer is preferably divided into a first segment at least in the first region and into a second segment at least in the second region.
- the first segment of the active layer is thus arranged essentially congruently with the first surface electrode and the second segment of the active layer is arranged essentially congruently with the second surface electrode.
- the appearance of the functional element is improved by dividing the active layer into segments. If the active layer is not divided into individual segments, unsightly optical abnormalities can occur between the regions, for example a gradual optical change in the first region of the active layer when the optical properties of the second region change.
- the division of the active layer into at least a first segment and a second segment is preferably produced by segmentation using laser radiation.
- the first surface electrode has a first protruding region from the active layer and the second surface electrode has a second protruding region from the active layer.
- a first bus bar is arranged at least on the first protruding region and a second bus bar is arranged at least on the second protruding region.
- the first surface electrode and the second surface electrode are electrically insulated from one another. In other words: the first surface electrode protrudes beyond the active layer in a first section of the circumferential side surface and the second surface electrode protrudes beyond the active layer in a second section of the circumferential side surface.
- a first bus bar is arranged at least on the protruding region of the first surface electrode and a second bus bar is arranged at least on the protruding region of the second surface electrode.
- the first surface electrode and the second surface electrode are arranged electrically insulated from one another.
- the first surface electrode is preferably separated from the second surface electrode by an insulation line, which was introduced, for example, by means of laser ablation.
- the “circumferential side surface of the active layer” means the outer circumferential surface which extends perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface of the active layer.
- the first and the second surfaces of the active layer are the main surfaces of the active layer, which are arranged essentially parallel to the main surfaces of the outer pane and the inner pane of the composite pane.
- the circumferential side surface of the active layer thus comprises the circumferential side surfaces of any individual segments of the active layer, minus those sections of the circumferential side surface of the segments which do not run along the edge of the functional element.
- the first surface of the active layer is meant, if the active layer is divided into segments, the first surface of the first segment and the first surface of the second segment as well as the first surface of any further segments of the active layer.
- the second surface of the active layer in the sense of the invention means the second surface of the first segment and the second surface of the second segment as well as the second surface of any additional segments of the active layer that may be present.
- the first surface of the individual segments are arranged next to one another so that, in a plan view of the composite pane, the first surface of the individual segments is offset vertically from one another, but not horizontally. This means: if the first surface of the first segment faces the outer pane, the first surface of the second segment is also necessarily facing the outer pane.
- the first surface of the active layer therefore results from the first surface of the first segment and the first surface of the second segment as well as the first surface of any additional segments that may be present.
- the second surface of the active layer therefore results from the second surface of the first segment and the second surface of the second segment as well as the second surface of any additional segments that may be present.
- the bus bars are connected to the surface electrodes in such a way that when the first bus bar and the second bus bar are electrically contacted with a voltage source, different optical states of the functional element can be controlled. If an electrical potential is applied to the first surface electrode, the electrical potential is also applied to the third surface electrode via the electrical bridge. A counter potential is applied to the second surface electrode via the second bus bar, so that the second region of the active layer, which is arranged between the second surface electrode and the third surface electrode, can change its optical state according to the applied voltage difference between the surface electrodes. Since the second surface electrode and the first surface electrode are arranged electrically insulated from one another, no short circuit occurs.
- a great advantage of the invention is that the solution according to the invention allows the surface electrodes with busbars to be arranged on only one surface of the active layer, which provides creative freedom when producing the composite pane.
- a first busbar must be connected to a surface electrode on the first surface of the active layer and a second busbar must be connected to a surface electrode on the second surface of the active layer, which results in a larger space requirement, which does not meet the desired properties of the Composite pane.
- production is significantly more complex because the functional element has to be contacted with bus bars from two sides.
- the first surface electrode extends over the first surface in the first region of the active layer and the second surface electrode extends over the first surface in the second region of the active layer.
- the first surface electrode is connected to the first bus bar in a region of the first surface electrode that protrudes from the active layer and the second surface electrode is connected to the second bus bar in a region of the second surface electrode that protrudes from the active layer.
- the first surface electrode and the second surface electrode largely prevent the diffusion of pollutants, for example plasticizers from the thermoplastic intermediate layer, via the first surface of the active layer into the active layer.
- This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the number of barrier layers to prevent the diffusion of pollutants into the active layer.
- This can slow down the aging of the functional element, which essentially occurs when harmful substances penetrate the interior of the functional element via the unprotected surfaces of the active layer and change the optical properties of the functional element in an undesirable way.
- the aging leads, for example, to a lightening or change in the transmission of the functional element, starting at its side edges.
- the first surface electrode, the second surface electrode and any other surface electrodes that are applied to the first surface of the active layer together protrude along the entire circumferential side surface of the active layer.
- the at least one insulation region between the first surface electrode and the second surface electrode serves to electrically insulate the surface electrodes from one another.
- the insulation region is preferably linear (insulation lines).
- the largely uninterrupted projection of the surface electrodes along the circumferential side surface of the active layer protects the active layer very effectively against the diffusion of pollutants. In this way, fewer barrier layers are required, which saves material costs and minimizes the process effort.
- the first protruding region and the second protruding region together protrude beyond the active layer along the entire circumferential side surface.
- the first surface electrode and/or the second surface electrode protrude at least 1 mm, preferably at least 5 mm from the active layer.
- the first surface electrode and/or the second surface electrode and any other surface electrodes present have a projection u of at least 1 mm, particularly preferably of at least 5 mm from the active layer.
- the projection is determined by the distance of the outer edge of the surface electrode to the outer edge of the active layer in the projecting area. This means the distance orthogonal to the side surface of the active layer. If the projection is variable over the entire functional element, then the projection u is preferably at least 1 mm on average, particularly preferably at least 5 mm. From a projection with the dimensions mentioned, busbars can be connected to the surface electrode in a simplified process.
- the active layer comprises further regions, preferably at least one further region, particularly preferably at least 3 further regions, very particularly preferably at least 5 further regions, in particular at least 8 further regions.
- Exactly one further surface electrode is applied to the first surface of each further region.
- Each region is electrically connected to exactly one surface electrode on the first surface and each further surface electrode is electrically connected to exactly one region of the active layer.
- the third surface electrode extends over the second surface of all further regions. The further surface electrodes each protrude beyond the active layer in a further section of the peripheral side surface of the active layer.
- Each further surface electrode is preferably electrically connected to exactly one further busbar, wherein the further surface electrodes are preferably electrically connected to a further busbar on their region protruding from the active layer.
- the further surface electrodes, the first surface electrode and the second surface electrode are arranged so as to be electrically insulated from one another, for example they are separated from one another by one or more linear insulation regions (insulation lines). By contacting the second area and the other areas of the active layer with different surface electrodes, the areas of the active layer can be controlled and switched independently of each other.
- the surface electrode, the electrical bridge and the third surface electrode preferably serve as an anode, with the second surface electrode and the further surface electrode serving as a cathode and being able to have different (cathodical) electrical potentials from one another.
- the voltage difference between the anode on one side and the cathodes on the other side can convert the individual regions of the active layer into different desired optical states.
- each region of the active layer is also an individual segment of the active layer, so that the first region is a first segment, the second region is a second segment and each further region is a further segment.
- the first surface electrode, the second surface electrode and any additional surface electrodes were formed using laser radiation (laser ablation).
- laser radiation laser ablation
- an initially unsegmented, continuous surface electrode was divided into a plurality of surface electrodes (at least the first surface electrode and the second surface electrode) using laser radiation.
- the third surface electrode is preferably not segmented using laser radiation. Any segments of the active layer that may be present, i.e. at least the first segment and the second segment, are preferably also produced using laser radiation.
- an initially unsegmented active layer with a continuous surface electrode arranged on the first surface of the active layer was divided into a plurality of segments (at least the first and second segments) and a plurality of surface electrodes (at least the first surface electrode and the second surface electrode) using laser radiation.
- the third surface electrode is not segmented using laser radiation.
- the functional element already has an active layer due to the manufacturing process, which is divided into at least a first segment and a second segment, preferably further segments.
- the first surface electrode and the second surface electrode as well as any further surface electrodes that may be present can also be applied separately to the active layer during manufacturing, so that no subsequent introduction of insulation areas is necessary.
- the third surface electrode preferably extends completely over the second surface of the further areas or in the area of the further segments.
- the third Surface electrode over the entire second surface of the active layer. This ensures that the functional element can be used to its full extent and has good optical quality. Any areas not covered by the third surface electrode could result in inhomogeneous optical properties in the affected areas, which could cause irritation for the user.
- the composite pane is designed, for example, as a windshield or a roof pane that is intended to be part of a vehicle. Alternatively, it is designed, for example, as a partition pane, preferably as a partition pane for a rail vehicle or a bus. Alternatively, the composite pane can be architectural glazing, for example in an external facade of a building or a partition pane inside a building.
- outer pane and inner pane arbitrarily describe two different panes.
- the outer pane can be referred to as a first pane and the inner pane as a second pane.
- the inner pane in the sense of the invention refers to the pane facing the interior (vehicle interior) (second pane).
- the outer pane refers to the pane facing the outside environment (first pane).
- the invention is not restricted to this, however.
- the inner pane has an interior-side surface facing away from the thermoplastic intermediate layer and an exterior-side surface facing the thermoplastic intermediate layer.

- the thermoplastic intermediate layer contains a polymer, preferably a thermoplastic polymer.
- the thermoplastic intermediate layer contains at least 3% by weight, preferably at least 5 wt.%, particularly preferably at least 20 wt.%, even more preferably at least
- the plasticizer preferably contains or consists of triethylene glycol bis-(2-ethylhexanoate).
- Plasticizers are chemicals that make plastics softer, more flexible, more pliable and/or more elastic. They shift the thermoelastic range of plastics towards lower temperatures so that the plastics have the desired elastic properties in the range of the application temperature.
- Other preferred plasticizers are carboxylic acid esters, in particular low-volatility carboxylic acid esters, fats, oils, soft resins and camphor.
- Other plasticizers are preferably aliphatic diesters of tri- or tetraethylene glycol. Particularly preferred plasticizers are 3G7, 3G8 or 4G7, where the first digit indicates the number of ethylene glycol units and the last digit indicates the number of carbon atoms in the carboxylic acid part of the compound.
- 3G8 stands for triethylene glycol bis(2-ethylhexanoate), i.e. for a compound of the formula C4H9CH (CH2CH3) CO (OCH 2 CH 2 )3O 2 CCH (CH 2 CH 3 ) C4H9.
- the intermediate layer contains at least 60% by weight, preferably at least 70% by weight, particularly preferably at least 90% by weight and in particular at least 97% by weight of polyvinyl butyral.
- the thermoplastic intermediate layer can be formed by a single film or by more than one film.
- the thermoplastic intermediate layer can be formed by one or more thermoplastic films arranged one above the other, the thickness of the thermoplastic intermediate layer after lamination of the layer stack preferably being from 0.25 mm to 1 mm, typically 0.38 mm or 0.76 mm. If the thickness varies over the surface of the composite pane, the values given refer to the thickness at the thickest point of the thermoplastic intermediate layer.
- the thermoplastic intermediate layer comprises at least a first thermoplastic composite film and a second thermoplastic composite film.
- the functional element is arranged between the first and the second thermoplastic composite film.
- the first composite film and the second composite film are preferably arranged flat on top of each other and laminated with each other, with the functional element being inserted between the two composite films.
- the areas of the composite films that overlap the functional element form areas that connect the functional element to the outer pane and the inner pane, thereby fixing the functional element in the composite pane. In other areas of the composite pane, where the intermediate layers are in direct contact with each other, they can fuse during lamination in such a way that the two original layers may no longer be recognizable and a homogeneous intermediate layer is present instead.
- the thermoplastic intermediate layer also comprises a third thermoplastic composite film which is arranged all the way around the functional element.
- the functional element or more precisely the side surfaces of the functional element, is surrounded all the way around by the third thermoplastic composite film.
- the third composite film is designed like a frame with a recess into which the functional element is inserted.
- the third composite film can be formed by a thermoplastic film into which the recess has been cut out.
- the third composite film can also be assembled from several film sections around the functional element.
- the thermoplastic intermediate layer is preferably formed from a total of at least three thermoplastic composite films arranged flat on top of one another, with the middle composite film (third composite film) having a recess in which the functional element is arranged.
- the third composite film is arranged between the first and second composite films, with the side surfaces of all composite films facing the external environment preferably being arranged in alignment.
- the third composite film preferably has approximately the same thickness as the functional element. This compensates for the local difference in thickness of the composite pane, which is introduced by the locally limited functional element, so that glass breakage during lamination can be avoided.
- the side surfaces of the functional element that are visible when looking through the composite pane are preferably arranged flush with the third composite film, so that there is no gap between the side surface of the functional element and the associated side surface of the third composite film. This makes the boundary between the third composite film and the functional element visually less conspicuous.
- the side surface of the functional element is the side surface of the active layer, wherein preferably at least one barrier layer is arranged between the side surface of the active layer and the third composite film.
- each thermoplastic composite film is preferably from 0.1 mm to 2 mm, particularly preferably from 0.2 mm to 1 mm.
- the area of the first and/or the second thermoplastic composite film, via which the functional element is connected to the outer pane or the inner pane, is tinted or colored.
- at least the area of the first and/or the second thermoplastic composite film which, when viewed through the composite pane, is congruent with the functional element is tinted or colored.
- the transmission of this area in the visible spectral range is therefore reduced compared to a non-tinted or colored layer.
- the tinted/colored area of the composite film thus reduces the transmission of the composite pane in this area. This can be useful, for example, if the functional element is used as a sun visor.
- the aesthetic impression of the functional element is improved because the tint leads to a more neutral appearance that is more pleasant to the viewer.
- the tinted or colored area of the first and/or second thermoplastic composite film preferably has a light transmission (according to ISO 9050:2003) in the visible spectral range of 10% to 50%, particularly preferably 20% to 40%. This achieves particularly good results in terms of glare protection and optical appearance.
- the thermoplastic intermediate layer can be formed by a single thermoplastic composite film in which the tinted or colored area is created by local tinting or coloring. Such films are available, for example, by coextrusion. Alternatively, an untinted film section and a tinted or colored film section can be assembled to form the thermoplastic intermediate layer.
- At least, preferably exclusively, the region of the thermoplastic intermediate layer which is arranged between the functional element and the inner pane and/or the outer pane is tinted. This creates a particularly aesthetic impression when viewed from above on the inner pane and/or the outer pane.
- at least one section of the peripheral side surface of the active layer is sealed with at least one barrier layer.
- all sections of the peripheral side surface of the active layer are sealed with one or more barrier layers.
- areas of the second surface of the active layer, which are preferably free of the third surface electrode can also be sealed with one or more barrier layers.
- the barrier layer can partially overlap with the edge areas of the third surface electrode, for example if this is appropriate for production purposes. This results in a particularly secure sealing of the active layer of the functional element and a particularly good resistance to aging of the functional element.
- the barrier layer in the sense of the invention, this may also mean several barrier layers, unless explicitly or implicitly excluded.
- “sealed” means that the corresponding section of a surface is completely covered with the barrier layer as a protective layer and is thereby made more resistant and durable, in particular against the diffusion of harmful substances such as moisture, but in particular also against plasticizers from the environment that could otherwise penetrate into the interior of the active layer.
- the barrier layer is preferably in direct and immediate contact with the active layer. For example, there is no separate adhesive or other intermediate layer between the barrier layer and the active layer of the functional element.
- the barrier layer is designed such that it prevents the diffusion of plasticizers from the thermoplastic intermediate layer through the barrier layer.
- the barrier layer is preferably designed such that it prevents the diffusion of plasticizer through the barrier layer to the same or greater extent as the diffusion of plasticizer through the surface electrodes.

- the barrier layer contains at least two, preferably exactly two, exactly three, exactly four or exactly five individual layers of the same material arranged on top of one another.

- the functional element 4 is arranged between the first thermoplastic composite film 3.1 and the second thermoplastic composite film 3.2, and its optical properties can be controlled by an electrical voltage.
- the electrical supply lines are not shown for the sake of simplicity.
- the first thermoplastic composite film 3.1 is connected to the outer pane 1
- the second thermoplastic composite film 3.2 is connected to the inner pane 2.
- the third thermoplastic composite film 3.3 in between has a cutout into which the cut functional element 4 fits precisely. that is to say, it is inserted flush on all sides of the active layer 5.
- the overhang U', II" of the first surface electrode 6.1 and the second surface electrode 6.2 can overlap with the third thermoplastic composite film 3.3 (not shown here).
- the third composite film 3.3 thus forms a kind of passespartout for the functional element 4, which is thus encapsulated all around in thermoplastic material and is thus protected.
- the functional element 4 serves as a sun visor in the composite pane 100 designed as a windshield and is arranged in an area above a central viewing area B (as defined in ECE-R43).
- the height of the sun visor is, for example, 21 cm.
- the first composite film 3.1 can have a tinted area that is arranged between the functional element 4 and the outer pane 1 (not shown here).
- the light transmission of the windshield is thereby further reduced in the area of the functional element 4 (for example, light transmission of 30% in the tinted area) and the milky appearance of the PDLC functional element 4 in the diffuse state is reduced.
- the aesthetics of the windshield are thus made significantly more appealing.
- the composite pane 100 has, as is usual for windshields, a peripheral covering print 11 which is formed by an opaque enamel on the interior-side surfaces II, IV of the outer pane 1 and the inner pane 2.
- the distance of the functional element 4 to the upper edge D and the side edges of the composite pane 100 is smaller than the width of the covering print 11, so that the side surfaces of the functional element 4 - with the exception of the side edge pointing towards the central field of view B - are covered by the covering print 11.
- the electrical connections (not shown) including the busbars 8.1, 8.2 are also sensibly attached in the area of the covering print 11 and thus hidden.
- the functional element 4 has a barrier layer 9 on all side surfaces, which covers the entire circumferential side surface and the circumferential edge region of the top side (ie the surface facing the first thermoplastic composite film 3.1) of the functional element 4.
- the top side of the functional element 4 is simultaneously the second surface B of the active layer 5 covered by the third surface electrode 6.3 (see Figures 1 to 3).
- the functional element 4 is also covered in the edge regions of the bottom side (ie the surface facing the second thermoplastic composite film 3.2) with a barrier layer 9, which does not have a protruding area U', U" through the first or second surface electrode 6.1, 6.2 (not shown here).
- the underside of the functional element 4 is simultaneously the first surface A of the active layer 5 covered by the first and second surface electrodes 6.1, 6.2 (see Figures 1 to 3).
- the term "circumferential side surface of the functional element 4" essentially means the circumferential side surface S of the active layer 5, as shown in Figures 1 to 3.
- the barrier layers 9 reduce or prevent diffusion of plasticizer into the active layer 5, which increases the service life of the functional element 4.
- the thickness (or in other words, the material thickness) of the barrier layers 9 is, for example, at least 50 nm.
- the barrier layers 9 are, for example, an organosilicon layer.
- the barrier layers can also be formed by multilayered individual layers.
- FIG 6 shows a plan view of a further embodiment of the composite pane 100 according to the invention.
- Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional view of the composite pane 100 from Figure 6, with the section line X-X' indicated in Figure 6.
- the composite pane 100 is designed as a roof pane for a vehicle.
- the functional element 4 is arranged between an outer pane 1 and an inner pane 2 within a thermoplastic intermediate layer 3.
- the functional element 4 is arranged between a first thermoplastic composite film 3.1 and a second thermoplastic composite film 3.2.
- a third thermoplastic composite film 3.3 is arranged in the form of a frame around the functional element 4.
- the composite pane 100 has, as is usual for roof panes, a circumferential peripheral cover print 11 which is formed by an opaque enamel on the interior-side surfaces II, IV of the outer pane 1 and the inner pane 2.
- the optical properties of the functional element 4 can be controlled by an electrical voltage.
- the electrical supply lines are not shown for the sake of simplicity.
- the functional element 4 is divided into several switchable areas 5.2, 5'; for more details, see Figure 8.
- the peripheral edge of the functional element 4 is completely covered by the cover print 11 including the bus bars 8.1, 8.2, 8'.
- the functional element 4 extends essentially over the entire surface of the composite pane 100, minus a peripheral edge area which is completely covered by the cover print 11. In other words, the functional element 4 extends over the entire see-through area of the composite pane 100.
- the functional element 4 has a barrier layer 9 on all side surfaces, which covers the entire circumferential side surface and the circumferential edge region of the top side (i.e.
- the functional element 4 has no barrier layer 9 on the underside (i.e. the surface facing the second thermoplastic composite film 3.2) because the first surface electrode 6.1, the second surface electrode 6.2 and all other surface electrodes 6' have a protruding region U', U", U"' to the active layer 5, whereby a protrusion along the entire circumferential edge of the active layer 5 is achieved and the use of a barrier layer 9 is no longer necessary (not shown here).
- the underside of the functional element 4 is simultaneously the first surface A of the active layer 5 covered by the first and second surface electrodes 6.1, 6.2 (see Figure 8).
- the term “circumferential side surface of the functional element 4” essentially means the circumferential side surface S of the active layer 5, as shown in Figure 8.
- the outer pane 1 and the inner pane 2 are made of soda-lime glass, which can optionally be tinted.
- the outer pane 1 has a thickness of 2.1 mm, for example, and the inner pane 2 has a thickness of 1.6 mm.
- the thermoplastic composite films 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 each have a thickness of 0.38 mm, for example, and consist of 78% by weight of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) and 22% by weight of 2,2'-ethylenedioxydiethylbis(2-ethylhexanoate) as a plasticizer.
- PVB polyvinyl butyral
- Figure 8 shows the functional element 4 in a side view, which in the embodiment of Figures 6 and 7 is part of the composite pane 100.
- the variant of the functional element 4 shown in Figure 8 essentially corresponds to the variant from Figures 1 to 3, so that only the differences are discussed here and otherwise reference is made to the description of Figures 1 to 3.
- first surface electrode 6.1 and the second surface electrode 6.2 further surface electrodes 6' are applied to the first surface A of the active layer 5.
- a total of 5 surface electrodes 6.1, 6.2, 6' that are electrically insulated from one another are applied to the first surface A of the active layer 5.
- the second surface electrode 6.2 and the other 3 surface electrodes 6' are arranged in strips next to one another on the active layer 5, so that in plan view 4 essentially rectangular-shaped areas can be seen (see Figure 6).
- the Surface electrodes 6.2, 6' are arranged parallel to each other and next to each other, with the longer sides of the individual surface electrodes 6', 6.2 facing each other.
- the surface electrodes 6.1, 6.2, 6' are separated from each other by insulation lines, for example introduced by laser ablation.
- the insulation lines have a width of 50 pm, for example.
- the active layer 5 is not divided into individual segments, i.e. areas separated from one another by an insulation area.
- the entire active layer 5 is a continuous layer, which, however, can nevertheless be divided into a first area 5.1, a second area 5.2 and three further areas 5' due to the divided surface electrodes 6.1, 6.2, 6' on the first surface A.
- different optical states can be controlled by applying a voltage by means of the voltage source 10 to the first surface electrode 6.1 and the second surface electrode 6.2 as well as the further surface electrodes 6'.
- the second area 5.2 and the further areas 5' can be switched independently of one another, whereby the active layer 5 can be in different optical states depending on the area 5.2, 5'.
- the first region 5.1 of the active layer 5 is not switchable and is preferably covered by the cover print 11 when installed in the composite pane 100.
- the first surface electrode 6.1, the second surface electrode 6.2 and the further surface electrodes 6' are connected to a busbar 8.1, 8.2, 8' in an area LT, II", U"' projecting towards the active layer 5 (only shown for the first surface electrode 6.1 in Figure 8).
- the busbars 8.1, 8.2, 8' are applied to the surface of the respective surface electrode 6.1, 6.2, 6' facing the active layer 5.
- the busbars 8.1, 8.2, 8' are in turn connected to the voltage source 10 by means of electrical lines.
- the first surface electrode 6.1, the second surface electrode 6.2 and the further surface electrodes 6' project along the entire circumferential side surface S towards the active layer 5, minus the linear insulation region. This protects the functional element 4 even better against the influence of plasticizers, for example from the PVB layer, which would impair the optical quality of the functional element 4.
