A vehicle laminated pane, designed as a combined front and roof pane, has a lower and upper edges and two lateral pane edges includes an outer pane with an outer-side surface and an interior-side surface, an inner pane with an outer-side surface and an interior-side surface, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer which connects the outer pane to the inner pane. The vehicle laminated pane has a first region starting from the lower edge, a third region starting from the upper edge, and a second region which connects the first region and the third region, the interior-side surface of the outer pane has an opaque cover print at least in a peripheral edge region of the vehicle laminated pane, and a sun protection coating is applied to the interior-side surface of the outer pane.

Black enamel frit obscurations are commonly printed on laminated and tempered automotive safety glazing where they serve to hide the adhesive used to bind the glazing to the automotive body and to protect the adhesive from ultraviolet radiation. However, frit has a number of drawbacks. Frit weakens the surface of the glass. It can create distortion in the glass due to thermal gradients. Printed frit obscurations are incompatible and cannot be used with many types of coatings. Standard frit blocks ion exchange and cannot be used with the chemical tempering process. In addition, while many types of frits are available for printing on soda-lime glass, there are very few, if any, for non-soda lime glass. As the market moves towards thinner and lighter glazing, non-soda lime glass types are finding increasing application in automotive glazing. These limitations are overcome by replacing the printed black obscuration with an obscuration formed from a thin sheet of plastic, which is integrated into the laminate. This results in a laminate having superior optical quality, higher strength and a lower probability of breakage as compared to a laminate with a black enamel frit obscuration.

A laminated pane with light source, includes an outer pane and an inner pane, a first thermoplastic film arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane, a functional element with electrically controllable optical properties, a darkened layer, a decoupling element for decoupling light from the inner pane, and a light source arranged on a side edge of the inner pane or in a recess of the inner pane for coupling light into the inner pane, wherein the darkened layer has at least one opaque region having a light transmittance of less than or equal to 50% and the opaque region is present at least within the region between the light source and the functional element.

A windshield having an engine edge, a roof edge, and two side edges running between them, includes an outer pane made of glass with an outer surface and an interior-side surface and an inner pane made of glass with an outer surface and an interior-side surface, wherein the interior-side surface of the outer pane and the outer surface of the inner pane are connected to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer, and the windshield includes a first partial region, in which a transparent cover print including enamel is applied to the outer pane and/or inner pane, the first partial region is arranged along the engine edge and extends from the engine edge in the direction of the roof edge of the windshield, and the windshield has a transmission of at least 70% in the visible range of the light spectrum in the first partial region, at least in portions.

A privacy glazing structure may be fabricated from multiple panes of transparent material that hold an optically active material and also define a between-pane space that is separated from a surrounding environment for thermal insulating properties. The privacy glazing structure may include various functional coatings and intermediate films to enhance the performance and/or life span of the structure. For example, the privacy glazing structure may include a low emissivity coating and a laminate layer positioned between an optically active layer and an exterior environment exposed to sunlight. The low emissivity coating and laminate layer may work in combination to effectively protect the optically active layer from sunlight degradation. Additionally or alternatively, the laminate layer may impart safety and impact resistance properties to the structure.

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/ts0.4 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.1ts.sup.3500.

The present invention discloses a laminated glazing for a vehicle having thermal insulation properties. To solve antireflection issues, the glazing is comprised of a second glass layer having texturing features onto its external surface and a low-emissivity coating disposed onto said texturing features. The texture of the glass and the design of the low-E coating are tuned in such a way as to ensure a good adhesion of the coating during high-temperature bending process and, at the same time, to enable its low level of emissivity. The glazing may comprise a color and/or solar control coating onto the internal surface of the first glass layer. The glazing may also comprise photovoltaic cells and/or visible light transmission elements. In another embodiment still, the low-E coating onto the texturing features is tuned to serve as an image projection element.

Provided is a laminated glass, comprising an outer glass pane, an inner glass, a functional coating, and a functional thin film located between the outer glass pane and the inner glass pane, wherein the functional coating is located on a surface of the outer glass pane, the inner glass pane or the functional thin film, and is obtained by curing a functional coating comprising an infrared absorbent and/or an ultraviolet absorbent; and the functional thin film comprises at least two layers of alternately stacked resin thin films. The laminated glass has excellent thermal insulating performance, ultraviolet barrier capability, and electromagnetic wave transmission performance.

The disclosure refers to a laminated glazing having a connector which includes an electrical bridging means and an optional reinforcement making failure unlikely.

This laminated glass comprises: a first glass plate having a first surface and a second surface; a second glass plate having a third surface and a fourth surface; and an Interlayer sandwiched between the second surface of the first glass plate and the third surface of the second glass plate. The fourth surface has a light shielding portion and an opening portion, wherein the difference between visible light transmittances of the light shielding portion and the opening portion is 70% or more.
