Laminated glass for a vehicle includes a vehicle-interior side glass plate, a vehicle-exterior side glass plate, an interlayer film that bonds the vehicle-interior side glass plate and the vehicle-exterior side glass plate, and a structure sealed in the interlayer film. The interlayer film includes a first interlayer film bonded to the vehicle-interior side glass plate, a second interlayer film bonded to the vehicle-exterior side glass plate, and a third interlayer film located between the first interlayer film and the second interlayer film to enclose an outer periphery of the structure. Where a film thickness of the first interlayer film or the second interlayer film, whichever is thinner, is denoted as ti, and a thickness of the structure is denoted as ts, ti/ts≥0.4 is satisfied. Where a flexural modulus of the structure is denoted as E.sub.1 [MPa], a relationship between ts and E.sub.1 satisfies E.sub.1×ts.sup.3≥500.

A composite pane includes a functional element having electrically controllable optical properties, includes an inner pane including an inner and outer side and an outer pane including an inner and outer side, a thermoplastic intermediate layer, which joins the inner side) of the inner pane to the inner side of the outer pane, a functional element embedded in the thermoplastic intermediate layer and having electrically controllable optical properties at least including a multilayer film containing, arranged surface-to-surface one above the other in this sequence, a first carrier film, a first surface electrode, an active layer, a second surface electrode, and a second carrier film. The active layer includes a matrix and an active substance, and the concentration of the active substance varies over the area of the functional element.

A glazing applicable to multiple illumination products comprises a first glass substrate having first and second surfaces, a second glass substrate having third and fourth surfaces, a polymer interlayer laminated between the first and second substrates, and a coating including a first luminescent material and being applied on one of the third and fourth surfaces of the second glass substrate, for emitting light to both of the interior and exterior.

The present invention relates to a windshield to which an information acquisition device configured to acquire information from the outside of a vehicle by emitting and/or receiving light is attachable via a bracket, the windshield including: a glass module that includes a glass body having an information acquisition region through which the light passes; a sheet-shaped heating element that is attached to a surface on a vehicle interior side of the glass body and is not rectangular; and a power supply part configured to supply power to the heating element.

A decorated laminate including: an outer ply; an inner ply; a polymer interlayer between the inner ply and the outer ply; and organic ink printed decoration on one or both of internal surfaces of the laminate between the outer ply and the polymer interlayer or between the inner ply and polymer interlayer, wherein the decorated laminate has a stone impact resistance as defined herein. Also disclosed is a method of making and using the decorated laminate.

A laminated glazing has a first glass ply having first and second surfaces, a second glass ply having third and fourth surfaces, an obscuration band around at least a portion of the glazing periphery, the obscuration band having a sensor window and comprising first and second obscuration layers, the first obscuration layer adhered to at least a portion of the periphery of the first/second surface and comprising a first sensor window portion having a first sensor window portion optical distortion, the second obscuration layer adhered to at least a portion of the periphery of the third/fourth surface and comprising a second sensor window portion having a second sensor window portion optical distortion. first and second sensor window portion optical distortions are each controlled so the absolute magnitude of the optical distortion of the sensor window is lower than the absolute magnitude of the first and second sensor window optical distortions.

Infrared reflectors are described. In particular, infrared reflectors with reduced off-axis color are described. Such infrared reflectors may be useful in laminated glass constructions, particularly for applications where the glass may be exposed to water.
