Abstract

A composite pane includes an outer pane having an outer surface and an interior surface, an inner pane having an outer surface and an interior surface, a first intermediate layer, and a hologram element having at least one hologram, wherein the first intermediate layer is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane, the hologram element is arranged between the outer pane and the first intermediate layer or between the inner pane and the first intermediate layer, and wherein an optically highly-refractive layer is arranged on the interior surface of the inner pane.

Claims (29)

1 . A composite pane, comprising:

an outer pane having an outer surface and an interior surface,

an inner pane having an outer surface and an interior surface,

a first intermediate layer, and

a hologram element having at least one hologram,

wherein the first intermediate layer is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane, the hologram element is arranged between the outer pane and the first intermediate layer or between the inner pane and the first intermediate layer,

wherein the composite pane is a vehicle pane,

and wherein an optically highly-refractive layer having a refractive index of greater than or equal to 2 is arranged on the interior surface of the inner pane.

2 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the composite pane is a windshield.

3 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the optically highly-refractive layer is formed on the basis of silicon nitride, tin-zinc oxide, silicon-zirconium nitride, silicon-titanium nitride, silicon-hafnium nitride, or titanium oxide.

4 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the optically highly-refractive layer is formed with a layer thickness of 10 nm to 100 nm.

5 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the hologram element comprises a holographic material, and the holographic material is formed as a coating on the interior surface of the outer pane or as a coating on the outer surface of the inner pane.

6 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the hologram element is arranged between the first intermediate layer and the inner pane, and the composite pane additionally comprises a second intermediate layer which is arranged between the inner pane and the hologram element.

7 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein first intermediate layer and/or, if a second intermediate layer is arranged between the inner pane and the hologram element, the second intermediate layer is, independently of one another, a thermoplastic intermediate layer, an adhesive layer, or an optically clear adhesive.

8 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the hologram element comprises a holographic material and a first substrate layer and/or a second substrate layer.

9 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the hologram element comprises a photopolymer, dichromate gelatin, or silver halide gelatin, as the holographic material.

10 . The composite pane according to claim 8 , wherein the hologram element comprises a holographic material, a first substrate layer, and a second substrate layer, wherein the first substrate layer is arranged between the holographic material and the first intermediate layer, and the second substrate layer is arranged between the holographic material and the second intermediate layer.

11 . The composite pane according to claim 8 , wherein the first substrate layer and/or the second substrate layer comprises polyamide, cellulose triacetate, and/or polyethylene terephthalate.

12 . A projection arrangement comprising a composite pane according to claim 1 and a projector which is directed from sides of the inner pane onto the hologram element.

13 . A method for producing a composite pane according to claim 1 , comprising:

a) providing an outer pane having an outer surface and an interior surface, a first intermediate layer, a hologram element having at least one hologram and an inner pane having an outer surface and an interior surface, and a transparent, optically highly-refractive layer applied to the interior surface are provided,

b) forming a layer stack in which the first intermediate layer is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane, and the hologram element is arranged between the outer pane and the first intermediate layer or between the inner pane and the first intermediate layer, and

c) joining the layer stack by lamination.

14 . The method for producing a composite pane according to claim 13 , wherein the optically highly-refractive layer is applied to the interior surface of the inner pane by wet coating, by magnetron sputtering, or by chemical or physical vapor deposition methods.

15 . A method comprising implementing a composite pane according to claim 1 as a vehicle pane in a locomotion vehicle for traffic on land, in the air, or on water.

16 . The composite pane according to claim 3 , wherein the optically highly-refractive layer is formed on the basis of silicon-zirconium nitride or titanium oxide.

17 . The composite pane according to claim 4 , wherein the optically highly-refractive layer is formed with a layer thickness of 20 nm to 80 nm.

18 . The composite pane according to claim 17 , wherein the optically highly-refractive layer is formed with a layer thickness of 50 nm to 70 nm.

19 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the composite pane is a windshield serving as a projection surface for a head-up display.
