A vehicle glazing unit includes a pane including at least an outer glass sheet, an inner glass sheet and a sheet of adhesive material, the pane having an upper border, a lower border, a first lateral border and a second lateral border; the outer glass sheet and the inner glass sheet are each a glass sheet having undergone a thermal toughening or semi-toughening treatment, the edge of the inner glass sheet being situated beyond the edge of the sheet of adhesive material and beyond the edge of the outer glass sheet only over at least one portion of the length or even the whole length of the first lateral border and/or over at least one portion of the length or even the whole length of the second lateral border of the pane.

In some embodiments, a process comprises fixing a first portion of a flexible glass substrate into a first fixed shape with a first rigid support structure and attaching a first display to the first portion of the flexible glass substrate or to the first rigid support structure. After fixing the first portion and attaching the first display, and while maintaining the first fixed shape of the first portion of the flexible glass substrate and the attached first display, cold-forming a second portion of the flexible glass substrate to a second fixed shape and fixing the second portion of the flexible glass substrate into the second fixed shape with a second rigid support structure.
