The present vehicle includes a projection device installed in the vehicle; and a laminated glass configured to transmit a light beam emitted from the projection device to a vehicle exterior side. The laminated glass includes a vehicle-interior-side glass plate; a vehicle-exterior-side glass plate; an interlayer bonding the vehicle-interior-side glass plate and the vehicle-exterior-side glass plate; and a scattering layer arranged between the vehicle-exterior-side glass plate and the vehicle-interior-side glass plate, and in contact with the interlayer, the scattering layer being configured to be irradiated with the light beam. A relationship between visible light transmittance Tv (%) of the laminated glass and an angle of incidence (degrees) to the scattering layer of each ray included in the light beam incident on the scattering layer satisfies Formula (1) described in the description.

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.

Interlayers for use with laminates and laminates are provided that may be used in a variety of different applications, such as windows for vehicles and buildings, impact resistance devices, such as bulletproof glass and others, decorative films for windows, walls or doors, window tinting, colored or mirrored glass, window films and the like. An interlayer comprises an adhesive film having a monolithic structure comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The film comprises one or more functional elements disposed within its monolithic structure and has a thickness of at least about 0.015 inches. The interlayer is a single TPU layer that includes both adhesive and functional properties, which allows the interlayer to be attached to one or more outer transparent layers in a laminate assembly that is particularly useful in, for example, applications requiring solar control functionality, such as windows that absorb or reflect heat, IR and/or UV light and the like.

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.

A transparent roof panel assembly for a vehicle roof comprises a panel and a light source. The panel comprises a first transparent layer having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite the first main surface, a second transparent layer arranged adjacent to the first main surface and a light outcoupling pattern arranged between the first main surface of the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer. The pattern is configured for scattering at least a part of the light from the light source such that light exits the first transparent layer through the second main surface. The pattern comprises scattering particles arranged in a transparent carrier. The particles are pigments in a white ink having a concentration of 0.01-1.5% by weight. The pattern may form an image having a contour formed by a full surface printing, a width being similar to dots forming the image.

A daylighting device (10) according to an aspect of the present invention includes a first substrate (1) which has optical transparency and to which external light is incident; a second substrate (2) which has optical transparency and is disposed facing the first substrate (1); a light diffusion layer (3) which is disposed between the first substrate (1) and the second substrate (2); and a daylighting layer (4) which is disposed between the first substrate (1) and the second substrate (2) and is formed by including a plurality of daylighting portions (42) having optical transparency and a void portion (43) which is provided between the plurality of daylighting portions (42) in one surface facing the light diffusion layer (3).

The present invention relates to a pane with thermal radiation reflecting coating, comprising at least one substrate (1) and at least one thermal radiation reflecting coating (2) at least on the interior-side surface of the substrate (1), wherein the pane has transmittance in the visible spectral range of less than 5%, and the coating (2), proceeding from the substrate (1), comprises at least: one adhesive layer (3) that contains at least one material with a refractive index of less than 1.8, one functional layer (4) that contains at least one transparent, electrically conductive oxide, one optically high-refractive-index layer (5) that contains at least one material with a refractive index greater than or equal to 1.8, and one optically low-refractive-index layer (6) that contains at least one material with a refractive index of less than 1.8.
