A laminate including an adherend and an adjacent layer, wherein the adherend has a first major surface, a second major surface being a back surface of the first major surface, and a lateral surface connecting an edge of the first major surface and an edge of the second major surface, at least the first major surface and the lateral surface of the adherend are covered with the adjacent layer, the adjacent layer has at least a plastic film and a hard coat layer containing a cured product of a curable resin composition in this order from the adherend side, and a softening point F1 of the plastic film and a softening point F2 of the hard coat layer satisfy a relationship of F1<F2.

A display panel includes: first and second substrates, each including a display area and a peripheral area in a plan view; and a sealing portion disposed between the first and second substrates. An edge of the display panel includes straight-lined and shaped edges, and the shaped edge includes a curved portion. An edge surface of the first substrate at the straight-lined edge, an edge surface of the second substrate at the straight-lined edge and an edge surface of the sealing portion at the straight-lined edge collectively define a first convex surface, an edge surface of the first substrate at the shaped edge, an edge surface of the second substrate at the shaped edge and an edge surface of the sealing portion at the shaped edge collectively define a second convex surface, and shapes of the first and second convex surfaces are different from each other.

Laminated automotive glazing, once limited to just the windshield, is finding more and more application in other positions in vehicles due to its ability to reduce weight, as well as to improve passenger safety, security and comfort. Designing a laminate that can serve as a direct replacement for tempered glass can be challenging Tempered glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than annealed glass and the lamination process has limitations that are not present with tempered. In particular, it is difficult to produce thin laminated glazing with holes. The laminate of the invention comprises strengthened thin glass layers in combination with laminated inserts to provide a thin laminated glazing with holes that has all of the advantages inherent in a laminate while retaining the reliability and utility of a tempered part and further can serve as a direct replacement for a tempered part.

An automotive laminated glazing is provided, comprising an outer glass layer and an inner glass layer, said outer glass layer having a first surface and a second surface and said inner glass layer having a third surface and a fourth surface, wherein the inner glass layer has a thickness of not more than 1.0 mm and is chemically strengthened, and wherein the fourth surface features a low-e coating, obtainable by chemically strengthening a flat glass pane having a thickness of not more than 1.0 mm, then applying the low-e coating, and finally laminating the flat glass pane to a curved glass pane forming the outer layer, thereby cold bending said flat glass pane.

A window for a display device that includes: a base substrate; a first coating layer disposed on a first surface of the base substrate; and a second coating layer disposed on a second surface that overlaps the first surface of the base substrate, wherein the base substrate further includes a vertical surface perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface, and the first coating layer overlaps the vertical surface. The impact resistance of the window is improved through the first coating layer covering the rear surface and the vertical surface of the base substrate.

The trend towards increasing the glazed area in automobiles has reduced the potential locations for mounting cabin lighting. This is especially true for vehicles having large panoramic glazing. Attempts to utilize integrated light sources within the glazing have had mixed results. Embedded LEDs in the laminate tend to be too bright for night driving. Edge feed illumination with light dispersing elements on the glass to date have only been able to provide low intensity levels. Both approaches tend to reduce visibility and aesthetics in the off state. The current invention provides a means and a method to produce a laminate which provides bright cabin lighting without compromising the function of the glazing to serve as a window, by creating a light dispersing layer that is substantially invisible when in the off state and very bright in the on state.
