A laminated glazing with a network of heating wires includes at least two rigid transparent sheets that are connected to one another pairwise by an intercalary adhesive layer, wherein at least one network of heating wires is arranged on a face of one of the at least two rigid transparent sheets other than the exterior main faces of the laminated glazing, the network of heating wires being supplied with power by contact with at least two feeds that are connected to an electric current source, the feeds being arranged on the edges of the laminated glazing and/or on its exterior main face that is intended to be oriented, in the mounting position, opposite the exterior atmosphere.

Laminated glazings with embedded wire circuits, have many uses. But, due to the higher cost of manufacture, they are not widely used. This invention provides a process to reduce the cost of production for embedded wire laminated glazing. Rather than embedding the wire one interlayer at a time, several circuits are produced on the same sheet, cut out and then inserted into the interlayer of each separate laminate during assembly, reducing the direct labor and capital investment required.

A laminated glass according to the present invention includes: a first glass plate having a rectangular shape, and including a first side and a second side opposing the first side; a second glass plate arranged opposing the first glass plate, and having substantially the same shape as the shape of the first glass plate; an intermediate film arranged between the first glass plate and the second glass plate; a first bus bar extending along an end portion closer to the first side; a second bus bar extending along an end portion closer to the second side; and a plurality of heating lines extending so as to connect the first bus bar and the second bus bar to each other, wherein at least some of the plurality of heating lines are heating lines having different lengths.

An electrochromic device can include a substrate, a transparent conductive oxide layer over the substrate, and a bus bar over the substrate. The bus bar can include silver and has a resistivity of at most 6.710.sup.6 *cm, an average adhesion strength to SiO.sub.2 of at least 3N based on 20 measurements, as determined by Method A of ASTM B905-00 (Reapproved 2010), or a classification of at least 4, as determined by Method B of ASTM B905-00 (Reapproved 2010). In another aspect a process of forming an electrochromic device can include forming a transparent conductive oxide layer over a substrate; forming a bus bar precursor over the substrate, wherein the precursor includes silver; and firing the precursor to form a bus bar. Firing can be performed such that the first bus bar is at a temperature of at least 390 C.

A method of manufacturing a glass assembly to have a performance-enhancing feature includes a step of forming a glass substrate that is curved. The method also includes digitally-applying an ink without a mask onto a surface of the curved glass substrate. The method further includes curing the ink to form the performance-enhancing feature on the surface of the curved glass substrate.
