Method and apparatus for controlling opening of an auto-darkening filter in an eye protection device
Patent number: 10251786Abstract: An eye protection device for a welding mask or the like includes a welding activity detection circuit that is configured to detect welding activity, and a filter driver that controls an optical filter to be in undarkened and darkened states. The filter driver is configured to (i) provide a slower and/or gradual opening of the filter, (ii) insert a user-selected delay and/or gradient between the end of welding activity and the opening of the filter, and/or (iii) cause variation of light transmission values of the filter between a darkened state and an undarkened state based on varying brightness detected by a brightness sensor during transition of the filter from a darkened state to an undarkened state.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2013Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: OPTREL HOLDING AGInventor: Sheng Yang -
Patent number: 10098788Abstract: The electro-optical glare protection filter includes a liquid crystal cell, which is a laterally extended liquid crystal cell defining a volume between two laterally extended sides. The volume containing liquid crystals and having, in a vertical direction perpendicular to lateral directions, a thickness being smaller than an extension of the volume in any lateral direction. The FFS cell includes a first electrode structure and a second electrode structure, which are arranged to change an orientation of the liquid crystals in the volume when a voltage is applied between them. Both the first and the second electrode structure are present at the same laterally extended side of the volume. The first electrode structure may include a plurality of electrically separate electrodes, and the second electrode structure may include a plurality of electrode lines.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Optrel Holding AGInventors: Leo Keller, Martin Esposito
