The Flash Shade: Directional Darkening Technology

獲獎作品摘要

lt is always unpleasant and dangerous to be blinded by glaring light, whether from the setting sun or bright arc welding flashes. As conventional darkening methods provide an inadequate solution, the aim was to develop a new technology for smart sunglasses. This technology would automatically and selectively darken only bright light sources so that the wearer receives a view in which all incident light rays are homogenously adjusted to a pleasant brightness. This was achieved through an intricate combination of semi-transparent organic solar cells and liquid crystal shutters, for which the respective characteristic curves (i.e. luminance, transmission, and voltage) were analyzed in a self-made solar simulator. The most promising substances for a symbiotic combination were identified amongst multiple electrochromic and photoelectric materials. These were integrated into a specifically designed honey-comb like structure, that imperceptibly sectorizes the wearer's view. A CAD program was used to rapid-prototype the design. The functionality was then proven on a large-scale prototype. A strong degree of darkening was observed for outdoor luminance (1400lx-7000lx, Transmission: 0.46%), a medium degree for 150lx-1400lx (Transmission: 2.47%) and a minor degree for indoor luminance (0lx-150lx, Transmission: 13.8%). The determined reaction speed was at ~67ms (the eyelid closure reflex requires 250ms). The results clearly show a luminance controlled darkening effect. A microcontroller could deliberately be omitted for the appliance to be mobile and lightweight. The fast reaction speed further proves its importance for light intense conditions (ie. welding or laser safety). This solution is, therefore, a viable option to existing sunglass technologies.

學科簡介：材料科學 Materials Science

The study of the integration of various materials forms in systems, devices, and components that rely on their unique and specific properties. It involves their synthesis and processing in the form of nanoparticles, nanofibers, and nanolayered structures, to coatings and laminates, to bulk monolithic, single-/poly-crystalline, glassy, soft/hard solid, composite, and cellular structures. It also involves measurements of various properties and characterization of the structure across length scales, in addition to multi-scale modeling and computations for process-structure and structure-property correlations.

Subcategories:

Biomaterials?(BIM):?Studies involving any matter, surface, or construct that interacts with biological systems. Such materials are often used and/or adapted for a medical application, and thus comprise whole or part of a living structure or biomedical device which performs, augments, or replaces a natural function.

Ceramic and Glasses?(CER):?Studies involving materials composed of ceramic and glass – often defined as all solid materials except metals and their alloys that are made by the high-temperature processing of inorganic raw materials.

Composite Materials?(CMP):?Studies that integrate multiple materials such as ceramics, fiber, metals or polymers to?create a superior and unique material.

Computation and Theory?(COM):?Studies that develop and apply theoretical methods and/or use computer modeling to design new materials, predict material behavior under differing environmental conditions, understand energy transfer, etc.

Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials?(ELE):?The study and development of materials used to form highly complex systems, such as integrated electronic circuits, optoelectronic devices, and magnetic and optical mass storage media. The various materials, with precisely controlled properties, perform numerous functions, including the acquisition, processing, transmission, storage, and display of information.

Nanomaterials?(NAN):?The study and development of nanoscale materials; materials with structural features (particle size or grain size, for example) of at least one dimension in the range 1-100 nm.

Polymers?(POL):?The study and development of polymers; materials that have a molecular structure consisting chiefly or entirely of a large number of similar units bonded together, e.g., many synthetic organic materials used as plastics and resins.

Other?(OTH):?Studies that cannot be assigned to one of the above subcategories. If the project involves multiple subcategories, the principal subcategory should be chosen instead of Other.
