11504950 · 2022-11-22 · ·

A glass lamination film includes a tinted zone in which one or more colored layers are disposed and a clear zone. The tinted zone includes a colored zone with a fixed color and a color change zone disposed between the colored zone and the clear zone, and a color of the color change zone has a varying density. A fade off zone has relative transmittance (Rt, %) of 30 to 80%. The color change zone includes the fade off zone having a distance of 15 to 25 mm. The colored layer includes a first colored layer and a second colored layer disposed below the first colored layer. An amount of plasticizer in the second colored layer is larger than an amount of the plasticizer in the first colored layer.

Systems with adjustable windows

A system such as a vehicle may have adjustable structures such as adjustable windows. Adjustable windows may have adjustable layers such as adjustable tint layers, adjustable reflectivity layers, and adjustable haze layers. Adjustable window layers may be incorporated into a window with one or more transparent structural layers such as a pair of glass window layers. Adjustable components such as adjustable reflectivity layers, adjustable haze layers, and adjustable tint layers may be interposed between the pair of glass window layers. Fixed partially reflective mirrors, fixed tint layers, and/or fixed haze layers may be used in place of adjustable tint, haze, and reflectivity layers and/or may be incorporated into windows in addition to adjustable tint, haze, and reflectivity layers.

ANTI-DAZZLE SYSTEM, ANTI-DAZZLE METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
20230091342 · 2023-03-23 ·

An anti-dazzle system includes a first obtainer, a second obtainer, a light reducer, and a control unit. The first obtainer obtains image data of a captured image of a surrounding environment from a first imaging sensor. The second obtainer obtains information for detection from which a movement of a head of a user is detectable, from the detection sensor. The light reducer includes a light reducing region that reduces an amount of light transmitted and is capable of moving the light reducing region in a predetermined range. The control unit detects a position of a light source included in the captured image of the surrounding environment based on the image data, and causes the light reducer to place the light reducing region between the light source and the head based on the position of the light source and the information for detection.

Systems with adjustable window transmission and haze

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.
