Abstract

A sun shield, having disengageable swivel bearing, rollable and flexible solar modules on a support material made of scrim tissue or taffeta with layer material to form a laminate, organic (OLED) or polymer (PLED) luminous diodes, has a small cross section in which for an enlargement of the solar surface the support material with thin-layer elements is arranged to be extended and retracted from the sun shield. A component which can be snapped in the opening on the back of the sun shield can be disengaged and used as a flashlight outside the vehicle.
