A laminated glass includes at least two glass members and at least one adhesive film disposed in a stacked manner, where the glass members and the adhesive film are alternately disposed; and decorative layers provided on surfaces of the at least two glass members facing toward the at least one adhesive film. At least two of the decorative layers independently comprise an etched texture, an optical coating layer, and a pattern layer sequentially stacked, or at least two of the decorative layers independently comprise the etched texture, the pattern layer, and the optical coating layer sequentially stacked.

There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass with which any of the anti-glare property, light resistance and visibility in a dark place of laminated glass can be enhanced. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention includes a thermoplastic resin and has a ratio Ls/Ls of the relative scotopic vision luminance Ls to the relative photopic vision luminance Ls to be greater than or equal to 1.0 at the time of preparing laminated glass with two sheets of clear glass in accordance with JIS R3202 (1996), and the interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention preferably includes at least one kind of ingredient among a phthalocyanine compound, a naphthalocyanine compound, an anthracyanine compound and an indanthrene compound which have a maximum absorption wavelength greater than or equal to 550 nm and less than or equal to 750 nm.

Glazing, such as for vehicles, includes a sheet of glass-ceramic that has different regions with different transmission properties, including a first visually clear region that blocks infrared, a second visually clear region that allows transmission of infrared, and a third colored region.

A luminous glazing unit includes a first glass substrate, made of mineral glass and in optical contact with a second glass substrate, a polymer layer, selected from a lamination interlayer, associated with a tinted and/or reflective element, and/or an opaque polymer encapsulation, a porous silica layer, underneath the polymer layer, a light source, optically coupled to the first glass substrate, and a light-extracting device associated with the first glass substrate, a mineral and transparent protective coating made of silica, directly on the porous silica layer and directly underneath the polymer layer.

A method of fabricating a laminated glass panel assembly having inner and outer glass layers includes masking a designated area of the inner glass layer to define an index feature and printing a first blackout layer onto the inner glass layer such that the first blackout layer is not present on the index feature. The method may include unmasking the index feature after printing the first blackout layer, then printing a second blackout layer onto a major surface of the outer glass layer. The major surface overlaps or covers the index feature such that the index feature is not visible to a human observer through the outer glass layer, but is detectable through the outer glass layer using a controller and machine vision logic. A glass panel assembly having the index feature is also described herein, as is a system for making the glass panel assembly.

A lighting system for specialty lighting, which may be attached to a motor vehicle with a window (e.g., glass, plastic, etc.) that is light transmissive. The lighting system may include one or more light assemblies attached to the window in an interior of the vehicle or an exterior area of the vehicle. In one embodiment, a light assembly may be internal to the window.
