Component having an intermediate space with changeable optical transparency

A component with changeable optical transparency, said component comprising:

• a first optically transparent pane and a second pane, wherein the first pane and the second pane are spaced apart from one another at least in some areas by a space;
• a separating device dividing the space into a first space area and a second space area;
• an introduction device for introducing one of a fog, a gas or a liquid for changing the passage of light at least through the first space area;
• and
• a means for removing the fog, liquid, or gas at least from the first space area;
• wherein the separating device is movable and separates the first space area from the second space area at least substantially in one of a gas-tight, a liquid-tight, or a fog-tight manner.

A component with changeable optical transparency, said component comprising:

• a first optically transparent pane and a second pane, wherein the first pane and the second pane are spaced apart from one another at least in some areas by a space;
• a separating device dividing the space into a first space area and a second space area;
• an introduction device for introducing one of a fog, a gas, or a liquid for changing the passage of light at least through the first space area;
• and
• a means for removing the fog, liquid, or gas at least from the first space area;
• wherein the separating device is movable within the space so that by a movement of the separating device at least one of the size of the first space area can be changed or the ratio of the size of the first space area to the size of the second space area can be changed, and wherein the separating device comprises one of a rod, a beam or a hollow element.

A component with changeable optical transparency, said component comprising:

• a means for removing the fog, liquid, or gas at least from the first space area;
• and
• at least one of a:
• a generating device for a generation of the fog, liquid or gas;
• and
• a storage device for storing the fog, liquid or gas,
• wherein the generating device is one of:
• arranged within one of the space or the first space area;
• and
• is one of part of the separation device or integrated into separation device, and
• where the storage device is one of:
• arranged within one of the space or the first space area;
• and
• is one of part of the separation device or integrated in the separation device.
