METHOD FOR REDUCING GLARE FROM LIGHT SOURCES THROUGH WINDSCREENS

摘要

A method of reducing glare may include sensing a first light source with a second vehicle, and sensing a second light source with a first vehicle and oscillating a first light source ICF between a substantially opaque state and a substantially clear state on a first schedule. A second windscreen ICF may be oscillating between the substantially opaque state and the substantially clear state on a second schedule different from the first schedule. A position of the light source may be sensed and an eye position of the occupant estimated. An intersecting region of the selectively-darkenable ICF, which is located substantially along a line from the position of the light source to the eye position, is calculated. The intersecting region of the ICF is darkened, such that a reduced amount of light from the light source passes through the intersecting region.

1. A method for reducing glare between a first vehicle and a second vehicle, wherein the first vehicle has a first light source with a first light source intensity control film (ICF) and a first windscreen with a first windscreen ICF, and the second vehicle has a second light source with a second light source ICF and a second windscreen with a second windscreen ICF, the method comprising:
sensing the first light source with the second vehicle, and sensing the second light source with the first vehicle; oscillating the first light source ICF between a substantially opaque state and a substantially clear state on a first schedule; and oscillating the second windscreen ICF between the substantially opaque state and the substantially clear state on a second schedule different from the first schedule.
