The trend towards increasing the glazed area in automobiles has reduced the potential locations for mounting cabin lighting. This is especially true for vehicles having large panoramic glazing. Attempts to utilize integrated light sources within the glazing have had mixed results. Embedded LEDs in the laminate tend to be too bright for night driving. Edge feed illumination with light dispersing elements on the glass to date have only been able to provide low intensity levels. Both approaches tend to reduce visibility and aesthetics in the off state. The current invention provides a means and a method to produce a laminate which provides bright cabin lighting without compromising the function of the glazing to serve as a window, by creating a light dispersing layer that is substantially invisible when in the off state and very bright in the on state.

Method and composition for switchable panels are disclosed. Switchable films are placed between glass and liquid resin is injected between the glass and cured. The panels may be used for a wide variety of applications.

Disclosed is an invention that relates to a glass construction for balustrade glazing and/or railing glazing or glass supports, comprising a composite element, which is designed as a glass laminate and consists of at least two glass panes, which are connected by an adhesive intermediate layer made of plastic. According to the invention, in particular at least one edge of the composite element has an edge protector, which is connected at least in parts to the respective end faces of the at least two glass panes of the glass laminate in such a way that the intermediate layer is protected from the effects of moisture.

A composite glass comprises two glass and/or plastic plates and an intermediate foil arranged between the glass and/or plastic plates. The composite glass, due to the intermediate foil, is configured differently in a side-dependent manner, by appearing to a viewer more transparent from an inner side than from an outer side. The composite glass, due to the intermediate foil, appears to the viewer different in a viewing angle-dependent manner from the outer side.

A composite film may include a first transparent substrate, a dielectric layer and at least two infra-red reflection stacks. The dielectric layer may be located between the at least two infra-red reflection stacks and each of the infra-red reflection stacks may include two titanium blocker layers and a functional layer. The functional layer in each infra-red reflection stack may include silver and may be located between the two blocker layers.

A glazing includes at least one first pane having a first primary surface and a second primary surface, at least one light source, at least one transparent light coupling system, wherein the light source is connected to the first primary surface of the first pane via the light coupling system such that light from the light source can be coupled into the first pane, and at least one light outcoupling system for outcoupling light from the first pane via at least one of the primary surfaces.

A composite pane includes an outer pane having an exterior-side surface and an interior-side surface, an inner pane having an exterior-side surface and an interior-side surface, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer joining the interior-side surface of the outer pane to the exterior-side surface of the inner pane. The composite pane has a sun shading coating between the outer and inner panes. the sun shading coating includes, starting from the outer pane toward the inner pane, a layer sequence first dielectric module M1, first silver layer Ag1, second dielectric module M2, second silver layer Ag2, third dielectric module M3, third silver layer Ag3, fourth dielectric module M4, wherein the silver layers have, relative to one another, a geometrical layer thickness of 0.4<Ag1/Ag3<1.7, and Ag3 or Ag2 is the thickest silver layer, and wherein the dielectric modules have, relative to one another, an optical layer thickness of M2/M1≥1.9, M2/M3≥0.8, and M2/M4≥1.6.

A colored thermoplastic intermediate layer with a width, a height, and a wedge-shaped cross-section with a thicker first end and a thinner second end, at least comprising a first colored thermoplastic layer with a width, a height, and a wedge-shaped cross-section with a thicker first end and a thinner second end, wherein the width and the height of the colored thermoplastic intermediate layer equal the width and the height of the first colored thermoplastic layer, the first colored thermoplastic layer has a dye, the dye concentration in the first colored thermoplastic layer increases from its thicker first end to its thinner second end, the light transmittance through the first colored thermoplastic layer is constant over its entire width and its entire height, and the light transmittance through the colored thermoplastic intermediate layer is constant over its entire width and its entire height.

To provide a glass plate with resin frame and a method for producing a glass plate with resin frame, by which high gloss of a design surface with a color expressed by a decorative molding can be achieved.

A glass plate 10 with resin frame, which comprises a glass plate 12, a resin frame 14 provided on a peripheral portion of the glass plate 12, and a decorative molding 16 disposed on the resin frame 14, the resin frame 14 being formed integrally with the glass plate 12 and the decorative molding 16, wherein the decorative molding 16 is a transparent design film, and when the glass plate 10 with resin frame is attached to a vehicle, the decorative molding 16 is disposed on the vehicle exterior side.
