A laminated glazing includes two transparent substrates which are separated by a lamination interlayer, and intended for fitting out buildings or vehicles. One of the transparent substrates is coated with a functional coating capable of acting on solar radiation and/or infrared radiation, and a low emissivity (so-called “low E”) coating is provided on one of the faces of the second substrate.

The invention concerns a laminated glazing with an optically transparent area (22) comprising (i) at least one inner (13) and one outer (14) glass sheets, each having an internal and an external faces, and being high level of near infrared radiation transmission glass sheets, (ii) at least one thermoplastic interlayer (20) to laminate the at least the inner and the outer glass sheets, comprising at least a first zone (11) and a second zone (12), the second zone (12) being delimited by the optically transparent area (22), and (iii) at least ne optical sensor device (2) provided on the inner face of the inner pane integrated in the optically transparent area (22). According to the present invention, the thermoplastic interlayer comprises a second zone (12) delimited by the optically transparent area where the laminated glazing has a value of infrared transmission TIR1 higher than the value of infrared transmission TIR2 of the first zone (11) for the working wavelengths of the optical device.

The present invention provides a laminate that can eliminate adsorption defects of a substrate caused by warping of the substrate and enables electronic devices to be manufactured at high yield. The present invention pertains to a laminate that is provided with a support base material, an adhesion layer, and a substrate in said order. The substrate is provided with a dielectric multilayer film in which dielectric layers having different refractive indexes are alternately laminated on an outer surface of the substrate. The substrate provided with the dielectric multilayer film is disposed on the adhesion layer such that the dielectric multilayer film adheres in a peelable manner to the adhesion layer.

A composite pane includes an outer pane, an inner pane, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer. The composite pane has, between the outer and inner panes, a solar protection coating that substantially reflects or absorbs rays outside the visible spectrum of solar radiation. The solar protection coating includes starting from the outer pane, a layer sequence of first dielectric module (M1), first silver layer (Ag1), second dielectric module (M2), second silver layer (Ag2), third dielectric module (M3), third dielectric module (M3), third silver layer (Ag3), fourth dielectric module (M4), wherein the silver layers (Ag1, Ag2, Ag3) have a layer thickness relative to one another of Ag1/Ag2>1 and Ag1/Ag3>1, and the dielectric modules (M1, M2, M3, M4) have a relative layer thickness of M2/M1>1, M2/M3>1, and M2/M4>1.

Certain example embodiments relate to electric, potentially-driven shades usable with insulating glass (IG) units, IG units including such shades, and/or associated methods. In such a unit, a dynamic shade is located between the substrates defining the IG unit, and is movable between retracted and extended positions. The dynamic shade includes on-glass layers including a transparent conductor and an insulator or dielectric film, as well as a shutter. The shutter includes alternating conductive and dielectric layers, supported by one or more resilient polymer-based layers. A first set of electrostatic forces help cause the shutter to extend and remain in an extended position, whereas an electric field can be setup to help encourage the retraction of the shutter from an extended or at least partially extended position.

The invention provides a method of processing glass that involves forming a flexible gel layer on a flexible glass sheet to create a glass-gel sheet; rolling-up the glass-gel sheet into the form of a roll; placing the roll in a dryer; and drying the flexible gel layer so as to form a flexible aerogel layer. Some embodiments provide a glazing unit that includes a glass-aerogel sheet located between first and second panes of the glazing unit, where the glass-aerogel sheet includes a flexible glass sheet and a flexible aerogel layer on the flexible glass sheet. In such embodiments, the first and second panes each have thicknesses that are greater than a thickness of the flexible glass sheet. Other embodiments provide a glass assembly having a flexible aerogel layer on a flexible glass sheet, with the flexible glass sheet being laminated to a glass pane.

A method to provide for an enameled glazing including, a glass sheet, an enamel coating on at least a part of a first surface of the glass sheet, a multilayer coating on at least a part of a first surface of the glass sheet and at least partially on top of the enamel coating, such that the enamel coating either comprises no Bi.sub.4Si.sub.3O.sub.12, or, if it comprises Bi.sub.4Si.sub.3O.sub.12, the enamel coating exhibits a crystallinity ratio <5, as measured by XRD, where the crystallinity ratio is the ratio of Bi.sub.4Si.sub.3O.sub.12/Cr.sub.2CuO.sub.4.

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.

An anti-reflective film-attached transparent substrate includes: a transparent substrate including two main surfaces; and a diffusion layer and an anti-reflective film on one main surface of the transparent substrate, which are provided in this order. The anti-reflective film-attached transparent substrate satisfies (A) a luminous transmittance is 20% to 90%, (B) a transmission color b* value under a D65 light source is 5 or less, (C) a luminous reflectance (SCI Y) of an outermost layer of the anti-reflective film is 0.4% or less, (D) a sheet resistance of the anti-reflective film is 10.sup.4 Ω/square or more, (E) the anti-reflective film has a laminated structure in which at least two dielectric layers having different refractive indices are laminated, and (F) a Diffusion value is 0.2 or more and a diffused light brightness (SCE L*) is 4 or less.

The projection light source is configured to generate P-polarized light. A ratio of near-red light reflectivity R1 at wavelengths ranging from 580 nm to 680 nm of the laminated glass with the transparent nano film to near-blue light reflectivity R2 at wavelengths ranging from 420 nm to 470 nm of the laminated glass with the transparent nano film is R1/R2=1.0˜2.0.
