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 μm long and 18 μm wide.

A system such as a vehicle, building, or electronic device system may have a support structure with one or more windows. The support structure and window may separate an interior region within the system from a surrounding exterior region. Control circuitry may receive input such as user input and may adjust an adjustable layer in the window based on the input. The adjustable layer may have a polymer matrix layer with embedded cells. The cells may include intermixed guest-host liquid crystal cells and liquid crystal cells. The guest-host liquid crystal cells and liquid crystal cells may have different liquid crystal materials and/or different sizes that allow the guest-host liquid crystal cells and liquid crystal cells to electrically switch states at different respective threshold voltages. Based on the user input or other input the control circuitry can adjust a drive signal across the adjustable layer to change light transmittance and haze.

The present invention is a windshield on which an information acquisition device that acquires information from outside of a vehicle by emitting and/or receiving light can be arranged, the windshield including: an outer glass plate; an inner glass plate; an interlayer film arranged between the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate; and a mask layer laminated on at least one of a surface on a vehicle interior side of the outer glass plate and a surface on a vehicle exterior side of the inner glass plate, in which the interlayer film includes a colored shade region, a transparent non-shade region, and a transparent sheet member that is fitted into at least one through hole formed over the shade region and the non-shade region.

This application relates to a hook assembly for a door curtain of a vehicle. The hook assembly is installed on a door panel to which a door curtain is hooked and fixed. The hook assembly includes a hook body installed to pass through a through-hole formed in the door panel in a load direction due to the door curtain, and a hook pin engaged with the hook body in a direction perpendicular to the load direction due to the door curtain. When the hook pin is engaged with the hook body, the hook body is supported in the through-hole in an engaged direction of the hook pin and one side of the hook body is pressed against a circumference of the through-hole.

An optical device is provided in the present application. The present application provides an optical device that may prevent defects such as short circuits even when an external power source has been connected in an encapsulated structure.

An automotive awning system having an awning that is configured for operatively shielding an automotive cabin of a vehicle, such as truck, from the elements. The automotive awning system includes a mounting arrangement for mounting the awning to the vehicle, the mounting arrangement comprising at least one mounting for fastening the awning to the vehicle, the mounting defining a separation zone configured to demount when a predetermined impact force is applied to the awning, as well as a retractor configured to automatically retract the awning toward the vehicle upon demounting of the separation zone, so that the awning is protected from impact damage.

The present invention relates to a graphene-containing window film for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a graphene-containing vehicle window film attached to a car glass to block heat from entering an interior, and dissipate the heat quickly through graphene, thereby increasing thermal insulation efficiency.

The vehicle rear information acquisition system of the disclosure includes: a back window at a rear of a vehicle; and an information acquisition device disposed inside the vehicle, opposing the back window, and configured to apply and/or receive light to acquire information from outside the vehicle, the back window including a glass plate and a coating film on at least a part of a surface of the glass plate, and having a privacy region for protecting privacy inside the vehicle and an information acquisition region opposing the information acquisition device and transmitting the light, the privacy region having the coating film on the surface of the glass plate, the privacy region having a visible light transmittance of 10% or less, the information acquisition region having a visible light transmittance of 25% or more.

A pneumatic shade includes a plurality of slats, a plurality of first fold members, and a plurality of second fold members. Each slat is elongated and includes and spans laterally between opposite longitudinal edges. Each of the first- and second-fold members are elongated and co-extend longitudinally with the slats. Each first fold member is attached to longitudinal edges of the respective adjacent slats. Each second fold member is attached to longitudinal edges of respective adjacent slats and are alternatingly orientated with respect to the first fold members such that each slat spans laterally between a respective first fold member and second fold member. Each of the first fold members and the second fold members are adapted to move between a folded state and an unfolded state upon application of pressurized air.
