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.

A nonwoven fabric is disclosed. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and at least a first visually discernible zone of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property, and the first visually discernible zone can exhibit a high visual resolution.

Provided are a display device and a preparation method thereof. The display device includes a first substrate, where the first substrate includes a display portion and a bending portion located on at least one side of the display portion; and a second substrate, where the second substrate and the first substrate are disposed opposite to each other, the second substrate includes a first region portion corresponding to the bending portion, and the bending portion is bent towards one side facing away from the second substrate. A protective layer is provided between the bending portion of the first substrate and the first region portion of the second substrate and the bending portion of the first substrate is bent towards one side of the second substrate.

A composite glass pane that contains two glass panes or two polymer panes or one glass pane and one polymer pane and has at least one polymer film bonded therebetween, wherein a first type of polymer film having a first stiffness is arranged in a first, larger areal region of the composite glass pane and a second type of polymer film having a second, higher stiffness than the first polymer film is arranged in at least one second areal region.

Ballistic resistant composite materials having high positive buoyancy in water are provided. More particularly, provided are foam-free, buoyant composite materials fabricated using dry processing techniques. The materials comprise fibrous plies that are partially coated with a particulate binder that is thermopressed to transform a portion of the binder into raised, discontinuous patches bonded to fiber/tape surfaces, while another portion of the particulate binder remains on the fibers/tapes as unmelted particles. The presence of the unmelted binder particles maintains empty spaces within the composite to materials which increases the positive buoyancy of the composites in water.

A composite fabric includes a nonwoven fabric layer having non-bonded areas and a structured film layer discontinuously bonded to the nonwoven fabric layer. The discontinuously bonded nonwoven fabric layer and the structured film layer share an overlapping area with at least one set of coincident bond sites. The discontinuously bonded nonwoven fabric does not have another bonding pattern in the overlapping area distinct from the at least one set of coincident bond sites. A method of forming a composite fabric is also described. The method includes forming a fiber layer including a mat of at least partially unconsolidated fibers, positioning a structured film layer and the fiber layer such that they overlap, and discontinuously bonding the mat into a discontinuously bonded nonwoven fabric while simultaneously bonding the structured film layer to the nonwoven fabric layer. An apparatus for forming a composite fabric is also described.

Disclosed is an electronic device including a glass member having a flat portion and a side portion extending from an edge of the flat portion in at least a partially slanted or curved manner. The side portion includes a first curved portion extending from the flat portion, a second curved portion extending from the first curved portion and connected to the flat portion through the first curved portion, and at least one processing portion formed by at least a part of a border region between the first curved portion and the second curved portion. The at least one processing portion has a different refractive index from at least another portion of the side portion.

Disclosed generally herein is a laminated vehicle glazing including first and second glass sheets and a polymer interlayer interposed therebetween. The interlayer includes a major part and a stiff part adjacent to the major part. The stiff part does not surround the major part, such that the major part is along at least one edge of the laminated vehicle glazing. The stiff part includes at least one layer made of a material that has a higher Young's modulus than that of the material used in the major part. Young's modulus in the thickness direction of the stiff part is higher than that of the major part.

To improve the visibility of an image displayed on a display from the inside of a vehicle, in a vehicle window glass having the display.

The vehicle window glass has a glass member and a display mounted on said glass member, wherein the visible light transmittance T [%] of said vehicle window glass at the portion including said display and the luminance L [cd/m.sup.2] of the display satisfy T≤0.1×L.

An anisotropic conductive film which suppresses occurrence of short circuit at the time of anisotropic conductive connection, prevents reduction in capturing capability of electrically conductive particles, enables favorable pushing of electrically conductive particles and exhibits not only favorable initial conductivity but also favorable conduction reliability, contains a first electrically conductive particle group and a second electrically conductive particle group, each including a plurality of electrically conductive particles, in an insulating binder. The first electrically conductive particle group and the second electrically conductive particle group are present in a first region and a second region, respectively, which differ from each other in the thickness direction of the anisotropic conductive film and are parallel to the plane direction. Moreover, the first electrically conductive particle group and the second electrically conductive particle group differ from each other in an existence state of the electrically conductive particles.
