The present disclosure relates to a film heater, and also relates to a transparent film heater.
With the advancement of science and technology, the disclosure of vehicles such as automobiles rapidly makes the traveling distance become shortened for people. In addition to providing the illuminating function for drivers, the headlights on the vehicle may further serve to inform other drivers or pedestrians, which is of great importance. However, the conventional light heater grid wire system affects the optics and penetrating rate, and the metal wire interferes with the sensing signal of the sensor in the light. Furthermore, in the frigid region, the light housing is often covered with snow, which in turn affects the illuminating brightness of the headlights. More specifically, the film heater of conventional headlights typically has 2 or 4 main electrodes. Due to the requirement of visibility, high penetrating rate and increase of the usable area, the electrodes are arranged in the invisible area of the edge. However, the problem is that the heating region is the region with the shortest electrode spacing, and when the heat is further transferred to the center, the transfer effect is not good. The electrode spacing in the center region is long and the heat is not generated, resulting in poor heating uniformity.
Based on the above, how to prevent the optics, illuminating brightness and penetrating rate of the headlight from being affected, and prevent the sensing signal from being interfered while being able to improve the heating uniformity and increase the heating area have become an important issue.
The transparent film heater of the embodiment in the disclosure includes a transparent conductive film and at least two main electrodes. The transparent conductive film is arranged on a transparent substrate. At least two main electrodes are arranged at two symmetrical positions on the transparent conductive film along the edge of the transparent conductive film, and the shortest linear distances between the two main electrodes are equal.
In an embodiment of the disclosure, a transparent film heater includes a transparent conductive film, at least two main electrodes and at least four multiple electrodes. The transparent conductive film is arranged on a transparent substrate. The at least two main electrodes are arranged on two sides of the transparent conductive film along an edge of the transparent conductive film. The at least four multiple electrodes are composed of a first pair of multiple electrodes and a second pair of multiple electrodes, and are disposed on the transparent conductive film. A first spacing region and a second spacing region are respectively located between adjacent end points of the two main electrodes along the edge of the transparent conductive film. The first pair of multiple electrodes are arranged in the first spacing region, and the second pair of multiple electrodes are arranged in the second spacing region.

Moreover, the greater the value of the distance X is, the greater the potential difference may be.
