Silicone-containing light fixture optics. A method for manufacturing an optical component may include mixing two precursors of silicone, opening a first gate of an optic forming device, moving the silicone mixture from the extrusion machine into the optic forming device, cooling the silicone mixture as it enters the optic forming device, filling a mold within the optic forming device with the silicone mixture, closing the first gate, and heating the silicone mixture in the mold to at least partially cure the silicone. Alternatively, a method for manufacturing an optical component may include depositing a layer of heat cured silicone optical material to an optical structure, arranging one or more at least partially cured silicone optics on the layer of heat cured silicone optical material, and heating the heat cured silicone optical material to permanently adhere the one or more at least partially cured silicone optics to the optical structure.

The present invention relates to a double glazed window of a polycarbonate layer and, specifically, to a double glazed window of a polycarbonate layer, comprising an outer glass layer and an inner polycarbonate layer so as to have improved heat insulation and earthquake resistance. The double glazed window of a polycarbonate layer comprises: a glass layer forming an outer layer; a polycarbonate layer forming an inner layer; a vacuum layer (VL) formed between the glass layer and the polycarbonate layer; and sealing means for sealing the VL while coupling the glass layer and the polycarbonate layer.

Provided herein are back sheets comprising and/or otherwise made from thermoplastic vulcanizates, PV modules comprising such TPV-based back sheets, and methods for forming the TPV back sheets and PV modules. TPV-based back sheets provide particular advantages over incumbent back sheets, including increased flexibility, greater electrical insulation properties, and more desirable barrier properties. The TPV-based back sheets of some embodiments provide PV modules improved endurance, particularly under the changing and often harsh environmental conditions in which PV modules are often deployed. The TPV-based back sheets of some embodiments also enable efficient construction of unusual PV module geometries, such as non-planar (e.g., curved and/or hinged) geometries.

An electro-optic mirror reflective element for a rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a front substrate and a rear substrate. A surface of the front substrate and a surface of the rear substrate oppose one another and are spaced apart by a perimeter seal, with an electro-optic medium disposed between the surfaces and bounded by the perimeter seal. A transparent electrically conductive coating is established at the surface of the front substrate, and a specularly reflective mirror reflector is established at the surface of the rear substrate. The specularly reflective mirror reflector includes a stack of thin film layers having (i) an environmentally stable electrically conductive metallic reflecting thin film layer including chromium, (ii) an environmentally vulnerable electrically conductive metallic reflecting thin film layer and (iii) a transparent electrically conductive thin film layer including aluminum doped zinc oxide.

A structural glazing assembly is provided. The structural glazing assembly comprises a frame and a transparent panel, optionally spaced apart by a transparent spacer material. The frame and panel being adhered to each other by a layer of a transparent silicone elastomer located there between. In general, the silicone elastomer is the cured elastomeric product of a moisture-curable hot melt silicone adhesive composition.

Provided are a strengthened glass panel for protecting a surface of a display device and a method for manufacturing the same. Here, the strengthened glass panel includes a strengthened glass layer, a laminate layer uniformly formed on the bottom surface of the strengthened glass layer, and a separation layer configured to cover the laminate layer, wherein the laminate layer is formed by transferring a transfer film. Accordingly, the strengthened glass panel for protecting a surface of a display device can have improved characteristics of neatly attaching the laminate layer to the surface of the display device without lifting or occurrence of air bubbles and easily detaching the laminate layer when a uniform laminate layer is formed on strengthened glass by means of a transfer film.

An aspect of the present invention provides an optical film (10) including a glass base material (11) having a thickness of 30 m or more and 200 m or less and a resin layer (12) adjacent to the glass base material (11), wherein the resin layer (12) has a Young's modulus of 70 MPa or more and 1200 MPa or less at 25 C.

A vehicle window pane having a plate-like window pane body which has an outer side facing the surroundings of the vehicle and an inner side facing away from the outer side and on whose inner side a shading arrangement is disposed, the shading arrangement being formed by a liquid crystal arrangement which has a liquid crystal cell. The liquid crystal arrangement has two films between which the liquid crystal cell is disposed, and the liquid crystal arrangement is connected to the window pane body via at least one longitudinal-expansion compensation layer.

The present invention relates to a resin composition for an interlayer, comprising a copolymer of a monomer mixture containing a (meth)acryloyl compound and a siloxane compound having an ethylenically unsaturated group wherein an ethylenically unsaturated group equivalent is 2000 to 20000 g/mol.

The present invention relates to a laminate in which a plurality of members including at least a glass are bonded via a bonding agent. The glass bonded has a chamfered portion in an end portion of a lamination surface of the glass, and the bonding agent adheres to the chamfered portion.
