As car manufacturers have worked to improve the fuel efficiency of their vehicles, one of the areas where they have been able to make major improvements has been aerodynamics. As most of the drag is the result of the frontal area of the vehicle, the installation angle of the windshield has been getting smaller and smaller to facilitate the smooth displacement of air. One of the drawbacks of this approach is that the light reflected back to the driver by the windshield increases as the installation angle decreases and the incidence angle increases. At high incidence angles, the intensity of the reflection may become objectionable. The invention reduces reflection at high incident angles by means of an anti-reflective layer and a polarization layer.

A display device includes a display panel including a front surface and a second surface which is opposite to the front surface; a front laminated structure attached to the front surface of the display panel; and a rear laminated structure attached to the second surface of the display panel. Each of the front laminated structure and the rear laminated structure includes a bonding member, and an average modulus of the bonding member of the front laminated structure is smaller than an average modulus of the bonding member of the rear laminated structure.

A chromatic stratified panel structure (100) for generating a sun-sky-imitating effect in lighting systems (1) comprises two cover panels (102, 104) at least one of which being a transparent panel; an adhesive transparent polymeric layer (106) sandwiched between the two inner faces of the two cover panels; and at least one nanoparticle-based Rayleigh-like diffusing coating (108) applied to an inner face of at least one of the two cover panels (102, 104) and/or to a face of the adhesive transparent polymeric layer (106) and forming an interlayer between one of the cover panels (102, 104) and the adhesive transparent polymeric layer (106).

A vehicle window pane having a plate-like window pane body which has an outer side facing the surroundings of the vehicle and an inner side facing away from the outer side and on whose inner side a shading arrangement is disposed, the shading arrangement being formed by a liquid crystal arrangement which has a liquid crystal cell. The liquid crystal arrangement has two films between which the liquid crystal cell is disposed, and the liquid crystal arrangement is connected to the window pane body via at least one longitudinal-expansion compensation layer.

The present multi-layered structure includes: a resin layer; and a glass layer stacked via an adhesive layer on the resin layer. A thickness of the glass layer is 10 m or more and 300 m or less. A thickness of an outer peripheral portion of the resin layer is 5 m or more.

The present invention provides a member for displaying a projected image and a projected image display system in which a clear image can be displayed with high reflectivity and high transmittance without a double image, the member for displaying a projected image including a reflection layer, and a /2 phase difference layer, in which the reflection layer includes a cholesteric liquid crystal layer having selective reflection in a visible light range, and the projected image display system including the member for displaying a projected image, in which the /2 phase difference layer is disposed on an incidence ray side with respect to the reflection layer, and the incidence ray is p-polarized light which vibrates in a direction parallel to an incidence surface.

The present application relates to an optical device. The present application provides an optical device capable of varying transmittance, and such an optical device can be used for various applications such as eyewear, for example, sunglasses or AR (augmented reality) or VR (virtual reality) eyewear, an outer wall of a building or a sunroof for a vehicle.

Methods for preparing multi-layer optical laminates include placing an optical film that is free form an adhesive layer between first and second glass substrates that are free of an adhesive layer, placing this laminate under vacuum, and then heating the laminate under pressure to a temperature above the softening temperature of the optical film. The glass substrates are free of an adhesive layer but may include a silane surface treatment. The resulting multi-layer laminate is optically clear and does not show scattering of reflected light by the optical film.

A projection arrangement includes a composite pane including transparent outer and inner panes, a thermoplastic intermediate layer, and a reflection layer, the outer pane having an outer side facing away from the thermoplastic intermediate layer and an inner side facing the thermoplastic intermediate layer and the inner pane has an outer side facing the thermoplastic intermediate layer and an inner side facing away from the thermoplastic intermediate layer, the reflection layer being arranged between the outer and inner panes and reflecting p-polarized light, the reflection layer being opaque or arranged spatially in front of an opaque background when viewed through the composite pane, and an image display device directed at the reflection layer and irradiates it with p-polarized light through the inner pane, wherein the reflection layer reflects the p-polarized light.

A display device includes a display panel including a front surface and a second surface which is opposite to the front surface; a front laminated structure attached to the front surface of the display panel; and a rear laminated structure attached to the second surface of the display panel. Each of the front laminated structure and the rear laminated structure includes a bonding member, and an average modulus of the bonding member of the front laminated structure is smaller than an average modulus of the bonding member of the rear laminated structure.
