Abstract

A glazing arrangement includes a first pane having a first main surface and a second main surface, wherein the first pane is provided to at least partially transmit coupled light, a light source for producing light that can be coupled into the first pane, a light extraction system to couple light out of the first pane via one of the two main surfaces, wherein the light extraction system includes a transparent coating with a refractive index that differs from, in particular is higher than, that of the air and that of the first pane, which transparent coating is arranged in a planar manner at least sectionally on one of the two main surfaces.

Claims (27)

1 . A glazing arrangement comprising:

a first pane having a first main surface and a second main surface, wherein the first pane is provided to at least partially transmit coupled light,

a light source for producing light that can be coupled into the first pane,

a light extraction system adapted to couple light out of the first pane via one of the first and second main surfaces,

wherein the light extraction system comprises a transparent coating with a refractive index that differs from that of the air and that of the first pane, which transparent coating is arranged in a planar manner at least sectionally on one of the first and second main surfaces.

2 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent coating is roughened.

3 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent coating comprises multiple body elements.

4 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the body elements are elliptical, cylindrical, or spheres.

5 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the body elements are partially filled or hollow.

6 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the body elements are coated with a coating of titanium oxide or a fluorescent substance.

7 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the body elements are spheres that have a diameter of 1 μm to 200 μm.

8 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the body elements have different sizes.

9 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the body elements are made of glass and/or polymer material.

10 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent coating has patterning in the form of circular areas.

11 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent coating is arranged directly on the first main surface and/or on the second main surface.

12 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent coating is arranged on the first main surface, which has an interface with air.

13 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the light source includes at least one or more light-emitting diodes.

14 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first pane is joined to a second pane via an intermediate layer to form a composite pane.

15 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent coating comprises titanium oxide.

16 . A method for producing a glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , comprising:

arranging at least one light source on a first pane,

arranging a light extraction system on a first main surface and/or on a second main surface of the first pane,

wherein the light extraction system comprises a coating, which is arranged in a planar manner at least sectionally on one of the two main surfaces.

17 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the refractive index is higher than that of the air and that of the first pane.

18 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the body elements are spherical body elements.

19 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the diameter is from 5 μm to 100 μm.

20 . The glazing arrangement according to claim 19 , wherein the diameter is from 50 μm to 80 μm.
