The present specification relates to a decorative member comprising a base and inorganic layers comprising a first light absorption layer, a light reflection layer, and a second light absorption layer sequentially provided on the base, in which ΔE.sub.12 indicated in Equation 1 is 1 or more, and a method of manufacturing the decorative member.

A method for producing a curved laminated glazing, for a windscreen or roof of a motor vehicle includes providing a first glass sheet, coated on at least one part of one of its faces with a stack of thin layers, depositing, on one part of the surface of the stack of thin layers in a zone to be cleared, a washable dissolving layer, a pre-firing after which the stack of thin layers located under the washable dissolving layer is dissolved by the washable dissolving layer, creating a cleared zone, the removal of the washable dissolving layer by washing, the deposit, at least on one part of the cleared zone, of an opaque mineral layer, the curving of the first glass sheet and of an additional glass sheet, together or separately, and the laminating of the first glass sheet with an additional glass sheet using a lamination interlayer.

A metal-on-ceramic substrate comprises a ceramic layer, a first metal layer, and a bonding layer joining the ceramic layer to the first metal layer. The bonding layer includes thermoplastic polyimide adhesive that contains thermally conductive particles. This permits the substrate to withstand most common die attach operations, reduces residual stress in the substrate, and simplifies manufacturing processes.

An article includes at least one layer including a transparent portion and at least one metal portion; and a color-rendering layer; wherein the at least one metal portion is positioned in the article to provide reflection of incident light; and wherein the transparent portion is dimensioned to allow at least some incident light to pass through. A method of making an article is also disclosed.

A composite film may include a discontinuous silver-based functional film, and a TPU over-layer overlying the discontinuous silver-based functional film. The composite film may have an R/sq value of at least about 30 Ohm/sq.

A polyvinyl acetal resin film, having an average surface roughness Rz of at least one surface of 3.0 μm or less; a birefringence Δn of 3.0×10.sup.−4 or less; and an average thickness of 200 μm or less.

This specification relates to a decoration member including: a substrate; a pattern layer comprising two or more unit pattern provided on one surface of the substrate; and an inorganic layer formed on the pattern layer, in which the inorganic layer includes a region in which a thickness t(x) of the inorganic layer formed on each unit pattern increases in a direction x in which the unit patterns are arranged.

A vehicle windshield with a two-dimensional code includes a first glass, a second glass and an intermediate film provided between the first glass and the second glass. The first glass includes a first surface facing the exterior of a vehicle and a second surface adhered to the intermediate film, while the second glass includes a third surface adhered to the intermediate film and a fourth surface facing the interior of the vehicle. Black enamel paint is printed on the second surface and/or the fourth surface. The second surface or the fourth surface is provided with a two-dimensional code printed with enamel paint at a position corresponding to the black enamel paint. The two-dimensional code contains unique information of the glass and/or the vehicle.

A composite pane includes a laminated stacking sequence composed of an outer pane with an exterior-side surface and an interior-side surface, an inner pane with an exterior-side surface and an interior-side surface, and at least one thermoplastic intermediate layer, which joins the interior-side surface of the outer pane to the exterior-side surface of the inner pane, wherein a heatable element is applied directly on the interior-side surface of the outer pane or on the exterior-side surface of the inner pane, and a thermal-radiation-reflecting coating is applied directly on the interior-side surface of the inner pane and/or a thermal-radiation-reflecting coating is applied directly on the exterior-side surface of the outer pane.

Provided are a photocatalyst transfer film allowing a photocatalyst layer that is uniform, highly transparent, and exhibits an antimicrobial property in dark places to be transferred to the surfaces of various transfer base materials; and a production method thereof. The photocatalyst transfer film has, on a base film, a photocatalyst layer containing a titanium oxide particle-containing photocatalyst, antimicrobial metal-containing alloy particles, a silicon compound and a surfactant. The production method of the photocatalyst transfer film includes applying a photocatalyst coating liquid to a base film; and performing drying. The photocatalyst coating liquid contains a titanium oxide particle-containing photocatalyst, antimicrobial metal-containing alloy particles, a silicon compound, a surfactant and an aqueous dispersion medium.
