GLARE MANAGEMENT OF REFLECTIVE AND THERMOREFLECTIVE SURFACES

摘要

The reflectivity and transmissivity of building and vehicle surfaces is maintained while employing partial, variable, selective, or asymmetric diffusers(302) between a surface(304) and an external light source (306) such that the reflected light is diffused to produce a reduction in glare, while minimally effecting the specular or collimated transmission (if any) of light through the surface(304). Glare is also reduced by utilizing diffuser devices(302) that reflect light in a temperature dependent manner.
