A window is provided to include a glass substrate, an adhesive layer on the glass substrate, a polymer layer between the glass substrate and the adhesive layer, the polymer layer having a surface adjacent to the adhesive layer, the surface being hydrophilic at a first temperature and being hydrophobic at a second temperature higher than the first temperature, and a protective layer on the adhesive layer. Thereby, when the protective layer is damaged, only the protective layer may be replaced without replacing a glass substrate.

Discussed is a lighting apparatus having an organic light-emitting element configured as a transparent window and provided with an optical filter to prevent transmission of light when light having an intensity higher than a preset intensity is incident on the lighting apparatus so as to allow the lighting apparatus to be driven in a transparent mode, an opaque mode, and a lighting mode. The organic light-emitting element includes first and second electrodes and an organic emission layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode to emit light when a signal is applied thereto. The organic light-emitting element performs single-side emission or dual-side emission. The optical filter is formed of a photochromic material or an electrochromic material to make the lighting apparatus be opaque so as to adjust the transmissivity of light when the light having the intensity higher than the preset intensity is incident on the lighting apparatus.

A laminated glazing includes a structural transparent substrate bonded to a glass sheet of 0.5 to 4 mm, intended to constitute an outer surface of the laminated glazing, by an adhesive interlayer of 4 to 10 mm, which successively includes 0.25 to 2.5 mm of a flexible first polymer material having a relaxation modulus at most equal to 2 GPa for relaxation times at least equal to 10 min, at temperatures at least equal to ?40? C., in contact with the glass sheet, then a stiff second polymer material having a relaxation modulus at least equal to 4 GPa, for time constants at most equal to 0.1 millisecond and temperatures at most equal to 40? C.

A reinforced safety glass and its manufacturing procedure are presented. The invention uses a vehicle's original glass, which is generally tempered, eliminating need for a new specific glass. The invention utilizes films of diverse reinforcing materials to increase the final resistance of the product and therefore reinforcing the original glass. During its manufacturing process, an autoclave is used for applying pressure and temperature to bond the reinforcing films to the original glass and between each other. The invention comprises the original glass to which at least one PU film and one C-PET film are orderly applied, ate least to the interior face of the glass.

Safety glass and the method for its obtainment wherein said safety glass is used to provide higher safety to rooms surrounded at least partially by said glass. The glass is comprised of films of diverse reinforcing materials with special features to increase the resistance of the product as a whole and therefore reinforcing the original glass. In the method for its obtainment, pressure and temperature are applied with an autoclave in order to bind the reinforcing films to the original glass. At least one PVB film layer and one C-PET film layer are applied without adhesive to the interior and/or exterior face of the original glass to be reinforced.

Provided is a production method for an optical laminate, which is excellent in production efficiency even through use of a thin glass. The production method for an optical laminate of the present invention includes: a thin glass production step of producing a thin glass having a thickness of 100 m or less; and a lamination step of laminating an optical film on one surface, or each of both surfaces, of the thin glass, the thin glass production step and the lamination step being performed in an integrated line, the lamination step including bonding the optical film onto the thin glass under a state in which the thin glass is supported.

Safety glass and method for its obtainment is presented. The safety glass includes a single glass plate with at least one layer of Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) film applied without adhesive over the interior face of the glass plate and at least one layer of Crystallizable PolyEthylene Terephthalate (C-PET) film applied without adhesive over the at least one PVB film layer on the interior face of the glass plate. The safety film optionally includes a safety film layer for shatter-proofing applied over the exterior face of the single glass plate and/or over the at least one C-PET film layer on interior face of the single glass plate.
