Abstract: A method for driving an electro-optical functional layer by a control, the functional layer being applied on a substrate and being variable in its transmissive and/or reflective properties by applying an electric field, the control unit having a supply voltage input and a feed output, and a voltage measuring system and an energy store, includes measuring a voltage actually available at the supply voltage input, if the available voltage is greater than a reference value, driving the functional layer with an AC voltage via the feed output, the energy store being charged at least in sections, if the available voltage is less than or equal to a reference value, driving the functional layer with a DC voltage via the feed output. At least part of the energy for the driving is drawn from the energy store. The DC voltage is less than the peak value of the AC voltage.

Abstract: A vehicle composite pane with an integrated light sensor is disclosed. The vehicle composite pane includes an outer pane and an inner pane that are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer. A plurality of photodiodes situated on a circuit board are arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane. The photodiodes are surface-mounted device (SMD) components. The photodiodes are arranged on the circuit board as groups of parallel connected photodiodes. All groups of the parallel connected photodiodes are connected to a common electrical input and each group is connected to a separate electrical output.

Abstract: A laminated pane arrangement has a functional element based on liquid crystals, wherein the optical properties of the functional element and an electrical resistance heater of at least one flat electrode are controlled by two different AC voltages. In accordance with a first aspect, the functional element is contacted on two opposite sides by the AC voltages. The AC voltages differ in maximum amplitude, but have the same frequency. In accordance with a second aspect, the functional element is controlled by an AC voltage. At least one flat electrode is heated by an additional AC voltage of greater frequency. A fault in the control of the optical properties of the functional element is prevented by high-pass filters.
