Abstract

A user interface for a charging column having a display and a touch-sensitive surface. The display and the surface are adhesively bonded to one another by an optically clear adhesive.

Claims (11)

1. A user interface for a charging column, said user interface comprising a display, a touch-sensitive surface, a protective sheet, a brightness sensor configured to sense an ambient brightness, and a controller, wherein the display and the touch-sensitive surface are adhesively bonded to one another by an optically clear adhesive, wherein the controller is configured to control a brightness of the display based on the ambient brightness sensed by the brightness sensor, and wherein the adhesive and the protective sheet both have an optical refractive index between 1.5 and 1.6, wherein the protective sheet is coated with at least two antireflection layers, wherein each of the at least two antireflection layers has an optical refractive index which is higher than an optical refractive index of an immediately adjacent layer facing away from the display and lower than an optical refractive index of an immediately adjacent layer facing toward the display.

2. A user interface for a charging column, said user interface comprising a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and a protective sheet, wherein the display and the touch-sensitive surface are adhesively bonded to one another by an optically clear adhesive, wherein the touch-sensitive surface is arranged between the display and the protective sheet, and wherein the protective sheet is formed from chemically or thermally toughened glass having a surface compressive stress of at least 100 N/mm 2 and has a thickness of at least 3 mm, wherein the protective sheet is coated with at least two antireflection layers, wherein each of the at least two antireflection layers has an optical refractive index which is higher than an optical refractive index of an immediately adjacent layer facing away from the display and lower than an optical refractive index of an immediately adjacent layer facing toward the display.

3. The user interface as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the user interface has a portrait format.

4. The user interface as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the user interface is configured to display different contents on the display.

5. The user interface as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an RFID reader.

6. The user interface as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the RFID reader is arranged behind glass.

7. The user interface as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is a synthetic resin.

8. The user interface as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display is anti-glare.

9. The user interface as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display comprises thin-film transistors and an LED backlighting of the thin-film transistors.

10. The user interface as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesive has a glass transition temperature of more than 80° C.

11. A user interface for a charging column, said user interface comprising a display, a touch-sensitive surface, a protective sheet, a brightness sensor configured to sense an ambient brightness, and a controller, wherein the display and the touch-sensitive surface are adhesively bonded to one another by an optically clear adhesive, wherein the controller is configured to control a brightness of the display based on the ambient brightness sensed by the brightness sensor, and wherein the adhesive and the protective sheet both have an optical refractive index between 1.5 and 1.6, wherein the protective sheet is coated with at least one antireflection layer having a continuously increasing refractive index in a direction facing away from the display.
