WINDOW AND TRANSPARENT DISPLAY DEVICE
A window is provided. The window includes a transparent display panel, a transparent substrate, and an ultraviolet light shielding layer. The transparent substrate is disposed on the transparent display panel. The ultraviolet light shielding layer is disposed between the transparent substrate and the transparent display panel.
COMPOSITE PANE HAVING ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLABLE OPTICAL PROPERTIES
A composite pane having electrically controllable optical properties, includes an outer pane and an inner pane that are joined to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer, wherein a functional element having electrically controllable optical properties is embedded in the intermediate layer, the functional element including an active layer between a first carrier film and a second carrier film, wherein the intermediate layer contains a first thermoplastic material and the carrier films contain a second thermoplastic material, and wherein the first carrier film and the second carrier film are fused together along at least one region of the side edge of the functional element.
Apparatuses for reducing light glare and related methods
Disclosed are light glare reducing apparatuses and related methods. A light glare reducing apparatus includes a first polarized body, a second polarized body, and a movable coupling that attaches the second polarized body to the first polarized body with the second polarized body at least partially overlapping the first polarized body. The first polarized body includes a first polarized material that is optically polarized in a first direction relative to the first polarized body. The second polarized body includes a second polarized material that is optically polarized in a second direction relative to the second polarized body. The movable coupling is configured to enable the second polarized body to move relative to the first polarized body to change an angle of the second direction relative to the first direction.
Thermoplastic resin film and glass plate-containing laminate
Provided is a thermoplastic resin film with which a glass plate-including laminate that looks different in color tone depending on the direction or angle can be obtained. A thermoplastic resin film according to the present invention includes a thermoplastic resin and a pigment, and when the thermoplastic resin film is planarly viewed with a transmission electron microscope, a number of pigments having an aspect ratio of 3 or more and 50 or less is 3 or more and 100 or less in a rectangular region of 13 m long and 18 m wide.

SUNSHADE FOR A VEHICLE, A VEHICLE INCLUDING A SUNSHADE, AND A FRAME AND SUNSHADE ASSEMBLY
A frame and sunshade assembly for a vehicle having a passenger space configured in a side-by-side seating arrangement can include a plurality of frame members connected together to define an area above the passenger space when the frame members are mounted on the vehicle, a flexible panel extending along the area, and a plurality of anchors connected to the flexible panel. Each of the anchors can be mounted onto a respective one of the frame members. The anchors can include a first flexible strap, a second elastic strap, a pair of D-ring assemblies, and a fourth elastic strap.
Automatic sun visor
A sun visor assembly used in a vehicle is disclosed. The sun visor assembly comprises a sun visor having at least one light intensity sensor for detecting sunlight or light intensity entering the vehicle. The sun visor further comprises a microprocessor for receiving a signal indicating detection of the light intensity entering the vehicle from the light intensity sensor. The sun visor further comprises at least one motor operatively coupled to the microprocessor. In response to the signal, the microprocessor instructs the at least one motor to position the sun visor to block the sunlight or light intensity sensor entering the vehicle.
AWNING CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
An awning connector assembly includes a mounting bracket having first and second elongated and parallel beads, and an extension bracket defining first and second elongated and parallel grooves configured to slidingly receive the first and second beads in laterally locked engagement. The mounting bracket can be secured to a slide-out room by the vehicle manufacturer to facilitate after-purchase installation of an awning assembly if desired by the vehicle owner.
Vehicle cab
A vehicle cab having a moveable roof section. The movement of the roof section is based on the location of the sun relative to the vehicle cab, such that the roof section moves to act as a sun shade for the cab. The roof section is provided with a sun sensor to determine the sun location, so that the roof section can automatically move to provide an adaptive sun shade.
Open roof assembly having a drive assembly for operating a sunshade member and a closure member sequentially
An open roof assembly comprises a drive assembly having a slider member. The slider member comprising a coupling member, a first lever member coupled to a sunshade member and a second lever member coupled to a closure member. Each lever member comprises a mating member for coupling with the slider member and a locking lever for releasably engaging a respective locking recess. The slider member is sequentially couplable to one of the lever members. When the slider member is coupled to the first lever member, the sunshade member may be opened or closed by moving the slider member. When the slider member is coupled to the second lever member, the closure member may be opened or closed by moving the slider member.
