Disclosed is a glass window having a luminous capability, which is suitable for use in automotive applications, architectural applications, or other applications. Exemplary embodiments of a glass window having a luminous capability include one or more glass sheet layers, a thin film layer having fine particles dispersed in a matrix of a thin film material, and at least one light source for introducing light into the thin film layer. The fine particles scatter the light and generate luminousness of the glass window. Exemplary embodiments of a glass window having luminous capability may further include one or more resinous sheet layers or one or more interlayers such as a plastic film layer.

A method for obtaining a laminated curved glazing, includes a. providing a first glass sheet, covered on at least part of one of its faces with a stack of thin layers, b. depositing, on a part of a surface of the stack of thin layers, a layer of enamel, the deposition being carried out by screen-printing an enamel composition including refractory particles having a diameter of at least 20 m in a proportion by volume of at least 0.5%, but no particles having a diameter greater than 80 m, c. bending the first glass sheet, the stack of thin layers located under the enamel layer being completely dissolved by the enamel layer at least at the end of the bending, and then d. laminating the first glass sheet with an additional glass sheet with an lamination interlayer, so that the enamel layer faces the interlayer.

A method for manufacturing a motor vehicle roof incorporating a glazing, in which at least one opacifying layer of ink(s), in particular at least one layer of colored ink(s), is applied by digital printing, in particular by inkjet, over at least 40% of the surface of one of the faces of at least one glass sheet, such that the composition of said ink(s) includes at least one glass frit, and where applicable one or more inorganic pigment(s), with a D90 value for the particle size distribution of less than 2 m, and such that the ink(s) have a viscosity of between 1 and 50 mPa.Math.s, the ink(s) further including a non-stick agent and/or a non-stick component and/or at least one non-stick agent and/or at least one non-stick layer being further applied to at least one layer of ink(s) and/or to at least one glass sheet.

A glass or glass-ceramic plate is provided that has two side faces, a thickness of between 2 mm and 6 mm, a circumferential edge face, a flatness less than or equal to 0.1%, and a region of a first face having a mean surface roughness of less than 0.5 m and a standard deviation of the surface roughness of less than 0.1 m. The mean surface roughness and the standard deviation are determined by measuring a roughness at nine points on the first face by measuring a line profile with a stylus device and with evaluation according to ISO 4827. The nine points are at least 5 cm apart from one another. The plate further includes a coating on two subregions of the region that are at least 3 cm apart from one another, where the coating has a raggedness in the subregions that differ by not more than 10%.
