Laminated glass contains two glass sheets interlayered with at least one polymer film C which is provided with a coating A comprising a polyvinyl acetal PA and optionally at least one plasticiser WA, and at least one film B containing a polyvinyl acetal PB and at least one plasticiser WB wherein coating A comprises less than 16% by weight of plasticiser, film B comprises at least 16% by weight of plasticiser, and film C comprises polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyvinyl alcohol, polylactic acid, polyethylen furanoate cellulose acetate, polymethyl methacrylates, polyethylene naphthalate, ionomers, or combinations thereof, wherein film C is located between coating A and film B.

A composite glass for a head-up display is described. The composite glass has an outer pane made of glass and an inner pane made of glass, which are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer. The inner pane has a thickness less than 1.2 mm, and the thickness of the intermediate layer in the vertical course between a lower edge and the upper edge of the composite glass is variable at least in sections with a maximum wedge angle less than or equal to 0.3 mrad.

There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass with which the production efficiency of laminated glass can be enhanced. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention includes an interlayer film body for lamination glass, and a printed part displayed by printing on a first surface of the interlayer film body for laminated glass, and the printed part is a guide for a bonding position to a lamination glass member, or product information of the interlayer film for laminated glass.

A laminated glass includes a first glass plate, which varies in a thickness from one end to another end that is opposite the one end, and in which a line is formed; a second glass plate in which a line is formed; and an intermediate film located between the first glass plate and the second glass plate, and configured to bond the first glass plate and the second glass plate so that the line of the first glass plate and the line of the second glass plate are mutually orthogonal, in a view of a plate thickness direction.

The object of this invention is to provide a laminated automotive glazing having an obscuration area produced by printing the obscuration on a film laminated between at least two layers of plastic interlayers or directly on the interlayer rather than printing and firing an enamel frit onto the glass. 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 display apparatus includes laminated glass comprising an interlayer film laminated between a pair of glass plates; and an irradiation device irradiating the laminated glass with light rays, wherein the interlayer film comprises a thermoplastic resin and a luminescent material, wherein an output of the light rays radiated from the irradiation device is equal to or less than 1 mW, and wherein the laminated glass emits light at a luminance of equal to or greater than 1 cd/m.sup.2 when being irradiated with the light rays.

A tapered interlayer and windshield employing the same are provided. Unlike conventional windshields, which are optimized to reduce ghost images for a single driver height, the windshields of the present invention may exhibit reduced ghosting for drivers of multiple heights, including very tall or very short drivers, while also providing desirable image clarity for average-height drivers. Windshields as described herein may be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, aircraft, marine, and recreational vehicles that employ HUD projection systems.

There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass with which a low yellow index value, low excitation purity and high heat shielding properties can be achieved in spite of the thickness varying with places. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention has a two or more-layer structure, has a thickness of one end thinner than a thickness of the other end at the opposite side of the one end and includes a first layer containing a thermoplastic resin and a second layer containing a thermoplastic resin, the difference between the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness in the first layer is smaller than the difference between the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness in the second layer, and the first layer contains a heat shielding compound.

It is now possible to economically produce, in series production, automotive glazing that has complex small radii feature lines (30). Such feature lines (30) are desirable as they can improve the stiffness of the glazing as well as contribute to the overall aesthetic and differentiation of the vehicle, allowing body lines to blend into and continue in the glazing. However, traditional automotive laminating methods do not lend themselves well to this type of product. Typically, the offset between the mating surfaces of the laminate must be very uniform. Such uniformity is difficult to achieve when producing small radii features. Rather than bending multiple layers with small radii feature lines that can be nested and subsequently laminated using standard plastic automotive interlayers, the invention makes use of a two part method for laminating, a dry lamination process and a wet lamination process, which requires only that the feature lines (30) be present in the outer glass layer (201).
