Patent ID: 7800034

Claim:
A dazzle protection unit ( 1 ) for a portable dazzle protection device, wherein the dazzle protection unit ( 1 ) comprises: an optical dazzle protection filter ( 3 ), at least one sensor ( 5 ) for the sensing of incident light and for controlling the translucency of the filter ( 3 ) in accordance with the sensed quantity of light, and a light capturing element ( 4 ), which captures incident light on one or on several light capturing surface areas ( 12 ) and through means for the deflection of light conducts it to the at least one sensor ( 5 ), wherein the surface area of the one or of the several light capturing surface areas ( 12 ) is larger than the surface area of the at least one sensor ( 5 ) wherein means ( 8 ) for coupling in light into the light capturing element ( 4 ) are located at a distance from one another, and wherein the light capturing element ( 4 ) comprises at least one protrusion ( 6 ), which conducts the light to the sensor ( 5 ) through a carrier ( 18 ) of an electronic circuit ( 17 ).
