Abstract

A vehicle pane for a head-up display having, in the installed state, an outer side facing external surroundings and an inner side facing a vehicle interior, includes at least one transparent pane, at least one first masking strip in an edge region of the pane, wherein the at least one first masking strip is arranged on or in a carrier film and, in particular, is printed on the carrier film or embedded in the carrier film, and the carrier film is bonded to the at least one transparent pane, and at least one light-deflecting device for deflecting light into the vehicle interior or at least one image display device for displaying image information, which is arranged in the region of the masking strip, on the vehicle-interior side of the masking strip.

Claims (25)

1 . A vehicle pane for a head-up display having, in the installed state, an outer side facing external surroundings and an inner side facing a vehicle interior, the vehicle pane comprising:

at least one transparent pane,

at least one first masking strip in an edge region of the at least one transparent pane, wherein the at least one first masking strip is arranged on or in a carrier film, and the carrier film is bonded to the at least one transparent pane, and

at least one light-deflecting device for deflecting light into the vehicle interior or at least one image display device for displaying image information, which is arranged in a region of the at least one first masking strip, on a vehicle-interior side of the at least one first masking strip.

2 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one light-deflecting device is a holographic light-deflecting device having at least one holographic optical element suitable for deflecting light, which is designed such that incident light is deflected toward the vehicle interior.

3 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one light-deflecting device includes a holographic waveguide, which is designed such that light coupled into the waveguide in the region of the first masking strip is deflected toward the vehicle interior.

4 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle pane is a composite pane that comprises a first pane having, in the installed state, an outer side facing the external surroundings and an inner side and a second pane having, in the installed state, an inner side facing the vehicle interior and an outer side, which first and second panes are fixedly joined to one another by at least one thermoplastic intermediate layer.

5 . The vehicle pane according to claim 4 , wherein the carrier film contains or consists of the at least one thermoplastic intermediate layer.

6 . The vehicle pane according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one light-deflecting device or the at least one image display device is laminated into two thermoplastic intermediate layers.

7 . The vehicle pane according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one light-deflecting device or the at least one image display device is attached to the outer side of the second pane.

8 . The vehicle pane according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one light-deflecting device or the at least one image display device is covered by a cover layer.

9 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first masking strip is formed in a circumferential frame shape.

10 . The vehicle pane according to claim 4 , wherein at least one further second masking strip is arranged on the inner side of the first pane, on the inner side of the second pane, and/or on the outer side of the second pane.

11 . A head-up display, with a vehicle pane according to claim 1 .

12 . The head-up display according to claim 11 , with a light-deflecting device and an image generator associated with the light-deflecting device.

13 . A vehicle with a head-up display according to claim 11 .

14 . A method for producing a vehicle pane according to claim 1 , comprising:

(a) applying a carrier film with at least one first masking strip in an edge region of the at least one pane, and

(b) arranging at least one light-deflecting device for deflecting light into the vehicle interior or at least one image display device for displaying image information in a region of the at least one first masking strip, on a vehicle-interior side of the at least one first masking strip.

15 . A method comprising providing a vehicle pane according to claim 1 in a vehicle for travel on land, in the air, or on water.

16 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first masking strip is printed on the carrier film or is embedded in the carrier film.

17 . The vehicle pane according to claim 8 , wherein the cover layer is a polymer layer or a glass layer.

18 . The vehicle pane according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one first masking strip has in a section that overlaps the at least one light-guiding device or the at least one image display device, a greater width than in sections different therefrom.

19 . The vehicle pane according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one further second masking strip is a baked masking print.

20 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the vehicle pane is a vehicle windshield.
