This disclosure relates to an automotive glass display. An example vehicle includes a projector configured to project light, and a glass panel including a first layer of glass, a second layer of glass, a first layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), and a second layer of material. The first layer of PVB is configured to diffuse light from the projector, and the second layer of material is configured to reduce glare. Other example glass panel arrangements are also disclosed.

A laminated glass having an interlayer between a glass plate on an exterior side of a vehicle and a glass plate on an interior side of the vehicle, includes a heat generator on a principal surface on a vehicle-exterior side of the glass plate that is on the interior side of the vehicle, wherein at least one of the glass plate on the exterior side of the vehicle and the glass plate on the interior side of the vehicle has a wedge shape in cross section, and wherein a maximum value of a layer thickness of the interlayer is less than or equal to 1 mm.

A process for making a multi-transparency glazing that has similar nominal weight as a standard two-transparency laminate glazing that has been determined to increase acoustic attenuation over coincidence frequencies of monolithic and two-transparency design using multi-stage damping to further convert vibrational energy to heat.

The invention relates to a scaled holographic medium comprising a layer construction B-C1-C2, to a process for producing the sealed holographic medium, to a kit of parts, to a layer construction comprising a protective layer and a substrate layer and to the use thereof.

A laminated glass pane having a first glass layer and a second glass layer, wherein at least one first electrically conducting structure and a second electrically conducting structure are arranged between the first glass layer and the second glass layer, wherein the first electrically conducting structure and the second electrically conducting structure are arranged spaced apart from one another, wherein the first electrically conducting structure at least partially overlaps the second electrically conducting structure in a perpendicular orientation relative to the first glass layer, wherein the first electrically conducting structure is associated with a first electrical element, wherein the first electrical element is a capacitive sensor.

The invention relates to improved methods and implementation of reliably manufacturing laminated solar panel products having one or more axis of curvature, wherein at least one solar cell also has one or more axis of curvature, in a manufacturing plant, the manufacturing plant being capable of continuous, optimized operation. A substrate and a superstrate having a doubly-curved geometry may be assembled with a core disposed therebetween, the core comprising a solar cell array including at least one solar cell. During the lamination process, the plant substantially eliminates cracking of the at least one solar cell of the solar array through controlled and uniform application of lamination pressure and temperature that applies uniform local pressure simultaneously to each cell, resulting in a durable and reliable product. The invention further relates to a plant and/or facility having efficient, effective, and repeatable results relating to such methods.

A laminated glazing for use as a combiner in a head up display comprises first and second glazing panes with at least one adhesive ply and an infrared reflecting film therebetween. Light incident upon the first glazing pane at an angle of incidence of 60 is reflected off the laminated glazing to produce first, second and third reflections, the third reflection being from light reflected from the infrared reflecting film. The laminated glazing further comprises light intensity reducing means between the first and second glazing panes for reducing the intensity of the third reflection. In an aspect, upon directing a beam of electromagnetic radiation having an intensity I.sub.O at 770 nm toward the first pane of glazing material at an angle of incidence of 60, the intensity of the third reflection at a wavelength of 770 nm is less than or equal to 0.185I.sub.O.

A laminated glazed roof includes a first glazing, forming an exterior glazing, with first and second main faces; a lamination interlayer made of polymeric material of thickness e1 of at most 1.8 mm; a second glazing, forming an interior glazing, with third and fourth main faces, the second and third main faces being the internal faces of the laminated glazing; and a set of diodes that are housed in through apertures or blind holes of the lamination interlayer.

Glazing mounting systems, that make use of an adhesive to bond the glazing to a vehicle opening, require an obscuration to hide the adhesive from view and to protect the adhesive from ultra-violet radiation. An enamel ink is typically used to print the obscuration on the glass. However, glass with certain types of coatings and glass which will be chemically tempered is not compatible with enamel frits. Organic inks can be used but are expensive, difficult to work with and not as durable as an enamel frit. The obscuration of the present invention is produced by replacing the printed obscuration with an insert, which serves the same function of an obscuration printed on the glass, which is laminated as a part of the glazing.

A glass sheet of the present invention is a glass sheet for producing a glass-resin composite through integral combination with a resin sheet, the glass sheet including as a glass composition, in terms of mol %, 40% to 80% of SiO.sub.2, 5% to 30% of Al.sub.2O.sub.3, 0% to 20% of Li.sub.2O+Na.sub.2O+K.sub.2O, 3% to 35% of MgO, and 0% to 15% of CaO+SrO+BaO.
