A shading device for a vehicle, comprising a dimming glass plate capable of changing a light transmittance thereof, wherein the dimming glass plate is provided at a portion of a vehicular window glass to separate an interior of vehicular compartment from outside of the vehicular compartment or provided at a portion of a surface of the vehicular window glass that faces inside of the vehicular compartment; a display apparatus formed of a light transmitting material and disposed at a surface of the dimming glass plate that faces inside of the vehicular compartment, with a display portion facing inside the vehicular compartment; an image pickup device to capture an area outside of a vehicle to generate image pickup data, wherein the area is at an opposite surface on the dimming glass plate, the opposite surface being opposite a surface on which the display apparatus is provided; a data processing circuit to generate display image data to be displayed on the display portion based on the image pickup data generated by the image pickup device; and a switch to change light transmittance of the dimming glass plate.

A vehicular laminated glass in which a plurality of glass plates and an intermediate film disposed between the plurality of glass plates are stacked. The vehicular laminated glass includes a first region having a colored layer disposed along an upper edge of the vehicular laminated glass with reference to an orientation of a vehicle to which the vehicular laminated glass is attached, and a second region disposed lower than the first region. The first region includes a region A having a light scattering layer and a region B not having the light scattering layer. In the region A, a visible light transmittance is 0.7% to 32%, a visible light reflectance is 0.5% to 10%, a vehicle-inner side visible light diffuse reflectance is 3% to 45%, and the light scattering layer is arranged at a vehicle-inner side relative to the colored layer.

An automatic window tinting system for a vehicle includes a selectively transparent window, a controller including a processing unit and a non-transitory computer readable memory, a temperature sensor, an occupant sensor, a proximity sensor, and a computer readable and executable instruction set. The computer readable and executable instruction set causes the processing unit to receive an occupant sensor signal, a temperature signal and a proximity sensor signal, maintain the selectively transparent window in a first light transmissivity state when the occupant sensor signal is indicative of a presence of an unattended occupant, transition the selectively transparent window to a second light transmissivity state when the temperature signal is indicative of a temperature inside the vehicle that is greater than a threshold value, and transition the selectively transparent window to a third light transmissivity state when the proximity sensor signal is indicative of the presence of a passerby.

A shading device for a vehicle, comprising a dimming glass plate capable of changing a light transmittance thereof, wherein the dimming glass plate is provided at a portion of a vehicular window glass to separate an interior of vehicular compartment from outside or provided at a portion of a surface of the vehicular window glass that faces inside of the vehicular compartment; a display apparatus formed of a light transmitting material and disposed at a surface of the dimming glass plate that faces inside of the vehicular compartment; an image pickup device to capture an area outside of a vehicle to generate image pickup data, wherein the area is at an opposite surface of a surface on which the display apparatus is provided; a data processing circuit to generate display image data based on the image pickup data; and a switch to change light transmittance of the dimming glass plate.

A method for producing laminated safety glass includes the steps of applying imagewise a thermally reducible composition including a organic metal salt on a glass surface or a thermoplastic polymeric surface, and heating at least the imagewise applied thermally reducible composition to form a metal from the organic metal salt.

A laminated vehicle window has different glass substrates and a low-emissivity (low-E) coating on an interior surface thereof, so that the low-E coating is to be located adjacent and exposed to the vehicle interior. In certain example embodiments, the low-E coating includes a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer of a material such as indium-tin-oxide (ITO). In certain example embodiments, the exterior glass substrate contains more iron, and is thus more absorbing of IR radiation, than the interior glass substrate.

A visor is configured for shading eyes of a user from a light from behind the visor. The visor includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is configured to display images to the user from behind the visor, and the second portion is configured to be able to adjust a rate of light transmittance according to the light from behind the visor. The present disclosure further provides a visor system, a vehicle containing a visor, and a light blocking and display method.

This disclosure relates to a dimming element for an ADAS camera comprising a layer that can be placed on a surface of a window that comprises liquid crystal cells that can be actuated individually and absorb light when electricity is applied, in order to dim an image section of the ADAS camera depending on the position of the sun detected by the ADAS camera. A delay layer, located between the layer and the ADAS camera may provide polarized light to the ADAS camera independently of an alignment of the liquid crystal cells in relation to the ADAS camera. The disclosure also relates to a control device for an ADAS camera system, and ADAS camera system, and a vehicle comprising an ADAS camera system.

A method for producing laminated safety glass includes the steps of applying imagewise a thermally reducible composition including a organic metal salt on a glass surface or a thermoplastic polymeric surface, and heating at least the imagewise applied thermally reducible composition to form a metal from the organic metal salt.

A tilting sunroof structure may include a roll blind sled connected to a motor via a cable to slide in a longitudinal direction along a mechanism rail to open a roll blind, the mechanism rail being provided on an edge portion of a roof panel of a vehicle; a pushrod assembly allowing the roll blind sled to work in concert with a tilting sled located on the mechanism rail; and a timing assembly located on an end portion of the pushrod assembly to be selectively fastened to the roll blind sled to move the tilting sled, wherein the roll blind sled moves in a backward direction of the vehicle along the mechanism rail to be fastened to the timing assembly, and the roll blind sled fastened to the timing assembly moves further to tilt a sunroof window.
