Overvoltage protection for electrically conductive structures

摘要

There is described a structure (14) that is disposed on an electrically non-conductive, electrostatically chargeable strip-type carrier film (12) and that has electrically conductive and/or semiconducting structural elements, which structure has at least one structural region (14s) protected against electrostatic voltage flashover. The at least one structural region (14s) protected against electrostatic voltage flashover is connected to a protective conductor track (19) and/or surrounded by a protective conductor track (19, 19′), which is realized such that it discharges an electrostatic charge and/or shields the protected structural region (14s).

1. A film having overvoltage protection for electrically conductive structures applied to the film comprising:
an electrically non-conductive, electrostatically chargeable carrier film; and a structure on the carrier film comprising one or more electrically conductive and/or semiconducting structural elements and having at least one structural region protected against electrostatic voltage flashover, the one or more electrically conductive or semiconducting structural elements being connected to a protective conductor track and/or surrounded by a protective conductor track, such that the protective conductor track discharges an electrostatic charge that might otherwise occur on the structure and/or shields the protected structural region from receiving an electrostatic charge; wherein the protected structural elements include terminal connections, and wherein the connecting portions are electrically connected, directly or indirectly, to the terminal connections of the protected structural elements; or wherein the protected structural elements have supply lines, and two or more protective conductor tracks are provided connected to the supply lines.
