The present disclosure provides lamination transfer films and use of the lamination transfer films, particular in the fabrication of architectural glass elements, such as those used in Insulated Glass Units (IGUs). The lamination transfer films may be used to transfer functional layers and structures. The lamination transfer films may include a support film that can be removed during the transfer process, and the transferred materials are primarily inorganic. The resulting transferred structures on glass generally have high photo- and thermal-stability, and therefore can successfully be applied to the glass surfaces that are interior to the cavity within an IGU. The lamination transfer films can also be patterned such that macroscopic patterns of microoptical elements can be applied on a glass surface.

There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass which is high in heat shielding properties. The intermediate film for laminated glass according to the present invention is provided with an infrared ray reflection layer which reflects infrared rays, a first resin layer which is arranged on a first surface side of the infrared ray reflection layer and contains a thermoplastic resin, and a second resin layer which is arranged on a second surface side of the infrared ray reflection layer and contains a thermoplastic resin; and the infrared ray transmittance in the wavelength of 780 to 2100 nm of the first resin layer is higher than the infrared ray transmittance in the wavelength of 780 to 2100 nm of the second resin layer.

A yield in the step of bonding two members together is improved. A bonding apparatus includes a stage capable of supporting a first member having a sheet-like shape, a fixing mechanism capable of fixing one end portion of a second member having a sheet-like shape so that the second member overlaps with the first member, and a pressurizing mechanism capable of moving from a side of the one end portion of the second member to a side of the other end portion and spreading a bonding layer under pressure between the first member and the second member. The first member and the second member are bonded to each other.

A glass pane is described. The glass pane has at least one pane, and one adhesive layer on the pane. The adhesive layer has at least one thermoplastic film with a luminescent pigment and a barrier film with an anti-scratch coating.

A method for producing a composite pane includes arranging a first, second and third thermoplastic intermediate layers in full surface contact one above the other, the first, second and third thermoplastic intermediate layers; joining the first, second and third thermoplastic intermediate layers to form a preliminary composite; removing the third thermoplastic intermediate layer from certain regions to form an aperture; forming a layered stack by inserting a functional element into the aperture in the third thermoplastic intermediate layer; arranging the layered stack between a first and second pane; and the joining the first and second panes by lamination via the layered stack. The functional element has a thickness of 50 m. The third thermoplastic intermediate layer has a thickness that substantially corresponds to the thickness of the functional element. The outer dimensions of the aperture substantially correspond to the outer dimensions of the functional element.

A automobile laminated glass according to the present invention includes: a first glass plate that is formed into a rectangular shape; a second glass plate that is disposed so as to face the first glass plate, and is formed into a rectangular shape; an intermediate film that is disposed between the first glass plate and the second glass plate; a functional layer that is disposed between the first glass plate and the second glass plate; and an obstructing layer that is laminated on a peripheral edge portion of at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate, wherein the functional layer is formed so that an outer edge of at least a portion of the functional layer is located outward of an inner edge of the obstructing layer.
