Thin-film devices, for example electrochromic devices for windows, and methods of manufacturing are described. Particular focus is given to methods of patterning optical devices. Various edge deletion and isolation scribes are performed, for example, to ensure the optical device has appropriate isolation from any edge defects. Methods described herein apply to any thin-film device having one or more material layers sandwiched between two thin film electrical conductor layers. The described methods create novel optical device configurations.

A laminated glass comprising an outer glass sheet, an inner glass sheet, and an intermediate layer between the outer and inner glass sheets. The intermediate layer has a first busbar, a second busbar, and heating wires connecting the first and second busbars, and a sheet-like substrate supporting the heating wires. The intermediate layer further comprises an adhesive layer. A distance from a centre of the wires to a surface the outer glass sheet and a distance from the centre of the wires to a surface the inner glass sheet being different; and a distance from the centre of the wires to the inside surface of the outer glass sheet and a distance from the centre of the wires to the outside surface of the inner glass sheet being different, and the adhesive layer thickness or the substrate thickness, whichever is smaller, is not more than 400 micrometres.

Provided is a display protector including: a first transparent base layer having a first surface and a second surface which face each other; a second transparent base layer having a third surface and a fourth surface which face each other, and arranged so that the third surface faces the second surface; an intermediate stress relief adhesive layer arranged between the second surface and the third surface; a first outer stress relief adhesive layer over the first surface; a second outer stress relief adhesive layer over the fourth surface; and an ultra-thin glass (UTG) layer on the first outer stress relief adhesive layer.

A glass component, which has a first surface and a second surface that faces in a direction opposite to the first surface, and a resin component are adhered. The first surface of the glass component and the resin component are caused to face each other and the glass component and the resin component are layered, the first surface of the glass component being provided with an acrylic ink printing. IR laser is radiated from the first surface of the glass component toward the printing, and the glass component and the resin component are welded by a heat of dissolution of the printing.

The present disclosure relates to compositions, laminates, films and/or composites made from polymers, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (“TPU”). The films have one or more optical layers made from materials that allow the transmission of visible light and reflect or absorb UV light. A composite having an infrared (“IR”) cutoff layer, and a polymer layer desirably having an ultraviolet (“UV”) absorber is disposed between layers of glass or artificial glass, combined with polycarbonate (“PC”) or polyethylene terephalate (“PET”) layers.

Provided is a display device including a display module, an anti-reflection layer, and a bending protection layer. The display module includes a first area, a second area, and a bending area disposed between the first area and the second area and having a predetermined curvature radius. The bending protection layer includes a first portion overlapping at least the first area and a second portion overlapping at least the bending area. The first portion has a maximum thickness in a range from about 40 μm to about 85 μm, a maximum inclined angle in a range from about 10° to 30°, and an elastic modulus in a range from about 50 MPa to about 300 MPa.
