There is provided a laminated glass for vehicle including a suspended particle device film excellent in property of switching transmittance of light for a long term by suppressing deterioration over time of the suspended particle device film, in particular, deterioration due to intrusion of moisture at an end portion. A laminated glass for vehicle includes: a pair of glass plates opposing each other; a pair of intermediate bonding layers in contact with opposing surfaces of the pair of glass plates respectively; a suspended particle device film arranged in a predetermined region in a region corresponding to a region except at least a part of band-shaped regions of peripheral edge portions of a main surface of the glass plate, between the pair of intermediate bonding layers; and a barrier layer arranged in the band-shaped regions between the pair of intermediate bonding layers and having predetermined adhesiveness and predetermined moisture permeability.

The present invention refers to a window construction, particularly to be used in a train, vehicle, car, helicopter, aircraft or building, which comprises a laminated window glazing having electrically switchable layer means arranged in a laminate, and controlling means being coupled to the switchable layer means for controlling the sunlight transparency of the switchable layer means.

A sunscreen system includes a control unit and a sunscreen having a first nonplanar glass layer and a nonplanar display layer having a first side and an opposite second side. The first side is adhered to the glass layer. The display layer includes multiple display subareas covering the overall surface of the display layer. Each separate display subarea may be controlled by the control unit to change the subarea's transmittance. A nonplanar design allows integration in a vehicle body and multiple display subareas allows partial area-wise blocking of light. All electronic components can be provided in or adjacent to the sunscreen or be arranged at another location in the vehicle, leading to a flexible design which allows a larger area panoramic roof due to reduction of mechanical components in the roof structure.

A light source detector detects, from a vehicle, a light source that exists outside the vehicle. A light reactive sheet is arranged in a planar form and is located in front of the driver driving the vehicle. The light reactive sheet changes color in response to light having a specific frequency. A light source position calculating unit calculates a light source position on the surface of the light reactive sheet based on output of the light source detector. A light emitter emits light having the specific frequency from the inside of the vehicle to the light reactive sheet based on the calculated light source position.

A camera on a vehicle captures an image of the surroundings, and the image is presented in a window of the vehicle that is established by a transparent display such as an OLED display or transparent LCD display. The image from the camera is presented on the display according to the angle of the camera with respect to the vehicle, such that an occupant of the vehicle sees the image on the window substantially in the same relative location with respect to the surroundings as the occupant would see looking at the objects in the image through the window. In other embodiments images from a database are presented on the window superimposed onto background objects seen through the window.
