Abstract: A welding helmet having a filter arrangement is disclosed. The welding helmet is provided with a main filter and at least one auxiliary filter separate from and positioned next to the main filter. The at least one auxiliary filter comprises an electro-optic element adapted to attenuate the transmission of optical radiation incident on the auxiliary filter.

Abstract: A curved eye protection shield for welding protection. The eye protection shield has an electrically switchable darkening filter and a protective cover. The darkening filter has eye facing major inner and outer surfaces, and the protective cover has major inner and outer surfaces. The protective cover is provided for arrangement on the inner surface of the darkening filter. The inner and outer surface of the darkening filter are equidistant, whereas the inner and outer surface of the protective cover are non-equidistant. The invention is advantageous in that it provides an eye protection shield having a minimized refractive power.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic welding filter that changes from a light transmission state to a dark transmission state in response to incident welding light and includes a color-tunable filter whose spectral transmittance can be varied to optimize the visual appearance of a welding task. The color-tunable filter comprises at least one low twist liquid crystal cell disposed between polarization filters having substantially parallel polarization directions. The user is able to adjust the color of the automatic welding filter in the dark transmission state, independently of the shade, in response to a user selected color signal which alters the birefringence properties of the low twist liquid crystal cell.

Abstract: Automatic darkening filters are often provided on a protective headgear, where protection from high intensity light is desired. An automatic darkening filter includes a switchable shutter, a shutter control system, a light sensor, and an imaging acquisition device. The switchable shutter is capable of assuming at least a dark state, a light state and an intermediate state.

Abstract: An automatic-darkening filter 10, 10′ that comprises a first polarizer 14, a second polarizer 18, a first liquid-crystal cell 16, and a sensor 64. The first polarizer 14 has a first polarization direction, and the second polarizer 18 has a second polarization direction. The liquid crystal cell 16 is disposed between the first and second polarizers 14, 18 and contains first and second optically-transparent, flexible, glass layers 40 and 42 with the liquid crystal layer 48 being located between these layers. The sensor 64 detects incident light and causes a signal to be sent, which causes molecular rotation within the liquid crystal layer. The inventive automatic-darkening filter is beneficial in that overall product weight can be reduced and the view field can be increased.
