A switchable laminated glazing comprising two stacks of components with different lamination parameters, a first stack of components which provides the mechanical protection of the glazing, and a second stack of components with variable light transmission.

A laminated glazing usable as a heatable glazing for means of transportation. Also, a method for producing the laminated glazing and a method for decreasing the sheet resistance of the laminated glazing.

Apparatuses and methods for glass laminates having a controlled coefficient of thermal expansion are disclosed. In C one embodiment, a glass laminate includes a glass core having a core thickness (T.sub.core) and a core coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE.sub.core), a first glass cladding layer and a second glass cladding layer. The first glass cladding layer and the second glass cladding layer are arranged such that the glass core is disposed between the first glass cladding layer and the second glass cladding layer. The first glass cladding layer has a first cladding thickness (T.sub.clad1) and a first clad coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE.sub.clad1), and the second glass cladding layer has a second cladding thickness (T.sub.clad2) and a second clad coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE.sub.clad2). The glass laminate has a laminate coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE.sub.L) within a range of about 35×10.sup.−7/° C. to about 90×10.sup.−7/° C., the laminate coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE.sub.L) defined by: CTE.sub.L=((CTE.sub.core×T.sub.core)+(CTE.sub.clad1×T.sub.clad1)+(CTE.sub.clad2× T.sub.clad2))/(T.sub.core+T.sub.clad1+T.sub.clad2).

The present disclosure provides a light adjusting glass, including: a basic light adjusting structure and a functional light adjusting structure which are disposed in a laminated manner; the basic light adjusting structure is configured to adjust a transmittance of light rays irradiated on the basic light adjusting structure; the functional light adjusting structure is configured to reflect light rays in a specific wave band irradiated on the functional light adjusting structure.

A laminated glazing comprising first and second sheets of glass joined together by an interlayer structure comprising at least first and second layers of adhesive interlayer material with a support sheet therebetween is disclosed. The laminated glazing is arranged such that the first layer of adhesive interlayer material is between the first sheet of glass and the support sheet, the second layer of adhesive interlayer material is between the second sheet of glass and the support sheet support material and at least a portion of the second major surface of the first sheet of glazing material faces the first major surface of the second sheet of glazing material. In the event of breakage of the first sheet of glass, the second layer of adhesive interlayer material remains attached to the support sheet thereby keeping the second glass sheet from becoming detached from the laminated glazing.

The present invention relates to a laminated body with electric conductor including a substrate; a functional layer having at least an adhesive layer; an electric conductor; and a protective material, wherein the substrate, the functional layer having at least the adhesive layer, the electric conductor, and the protective material are sequentially laminated in a thickness direction, and wherein a thickness of the functional layer is less than or equal to 0.300 mm.

A multilayer glass stack for a vehicle windshield with improved durability is described. The multilayer glass stack includes an external-facing glass layer, an internal-facing glass layer, and an adhesive interlayer positioned between the external-facing and internal-facing glass layers. The external-facing glass layer may include borosilicate and/or does not include soda lime glass. Methods of manufacturing the multilayer glass stack are also described.

A glazing unit is disclosed. The glazing unit can include a first pane and an active device. The active device can be coupled to the first pane. The glazing unit can also include a thermoelectric film layer between the active device and the first pane. In one embodiment, the active device is an electrochromic device.

A laminated glazing with at least one step-shaped functional portion comprising two stack of components, the main stack of components in which the alteration of its properties is not desirable, and a second stack of components comprising a functional layer.

A laminated glazing unit includes at least one first sheet of glass and one second sheet of glass glued to one another via a first adhesive interlayer, the first sheet of glass being intended to constitute the surface of the laminated glazing unit in contact with the outside atmosphere, in which the laminated glazing unit further includes, between the first sheet of glass and the second sheet of glass, an LOC (Localizer) antenna receiving between 100 and 120 MHz and a GLIDE (Slope) antenna receiving between 320 and 340 MHz, each antenna having dimensions that are sufficiently small not to hamper the vision, even to be practically invisible through the laminated glazing unit.
