Provided is a glass resin laminate (1), including: a resin layer (2); a glass sheet (3); an adhesive layer (4) configured to bond the glass sheet (3) and the resin layer (2); and a functional film (5) interposed in the adhesive layer (4). The adhesive layer (4) includes a first portion (4a) positioned between the resin layer (2) and the functional film (5), a second portion (4b) positioned between the glass sheet (3) and the functional film (5), and a fused portion (4c) obtained by fusing an end portion of the first portion (4a) and an end portion of the second portion (4b).

Tie layers and structures that exhibit superior properties and that provide desirable optical properties when incorporated into laminates, such as windshields, windows or other glazings containing a holographic optical element (HOE) are disclosed. The tie layers, when used in a laminate in conjunction with the HOE film, optionally with additional polymer layers, maintain and do not detract from the HOE film properties.

A composite pane and in particular a composite vehicle pane with an integrated light sensor, includes an outer pane and an inner pane that are joined to one another via at least one thermoplastic intermediate layer, and at least one light sensor with at least one light-sensitive surface that is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane, wherein the light-sensitive surface faces the outer pane and a holographic optical element is arranged between the light-sensitive surface and the outer pane, and the holographic optical element is implemented as a hologram for incident-angle-dependent diffraction of the incident light.

A vehicle interior component configured for illumination by a light source is disclosed. The component may comprise a composite structure configured to provide a visual effect and comprising an intermediate layer between a base/substrate and a cover comprising a glass material. When illuminated, the composite structure may produce a composite visual effect on and/or within the composite structure, at a surface of the cover and/or at the intermediate layer. The cover may comprise an element and/or treatment to provide a visual effect. The intermediate layer may comprise a glass layer comprising an element and/or treatment to provide a visual effect. The composite visual effect may comprise a visual effect beneath the surface of the cover of the composite structure. The composite visual effect may comprise a depth effect when not illuminated and an enhanced depth effect when illuminated. A process to manufacture the component is also disclosed.

A replication tool for use in preparing a holographic film by replication, comprising a base structure having a structure body and a channel configured to receive at least one of a laminated glazing and a master holographic film assembly.

A composite glass comprises two glass and/or plastic plates and an intermediate foil arranged between the glass and/or plastic plates. The composite glass, due to the intermediate foil, is configured differently in a side-dependent manner, by appearing to a viewer more transparent from an inner side than from an outer side. The composite glass, due to the intermediate foil, appears to the viewer different in a viewing angle-dependent manner from the outer side.

A laminated glass 1 includes a resin plate 2 as a core material, a first glass sheet 4 disposed on one surface side of the resin plate 2 via a first adhesive layer 3, and a second glass sheet 6 disposed on the other surface side of the resin plate 2 via a second adhesive layer 5. A heat reflective film 7 is disposed in the first adhesive layer 3, and a heat absorbing film 8 is disposed in the second adhesive layer 5, the heat absorbing film 8 functioning as a light absorbing member capable of absorbing a portion of incident light. The heat reflective film 7 is disposed closer to the first glass sheet 4 than the heat absorbing film 8 is.

A laminated automotive glazing (10) designed to utilize such as, e.g., a camera (18) or sensor, includes a first glass substrate (22) facing a vehicle exterior having a first side S1 and a second side S2, a second glass substrate (24) facing a vehicle interior having a third side S3 and a fourth side S4, the fourth side S4 facing the vehicle interior, and an interlayer (26) laminated between the first and second glass substrates. A correcting structure (32) is molded on at least a portion of the fourth side S4 of the second glass substrate (24) for improving optical properties of light transmitting through the first and second glass substrates (22, 24) and the interlayer (26).

Provided are a vehicle windshield equipped with a transparent film at a visual field area, where a negative effect on a driving visibility due to a boundary line between a forming area and a non-forming area of the transparent film is improved, and a vehicle component having the vehicle windshield. The vehicle windshield includes: a window plate; and a transparent film provided at a surface on a vehicle-interior side of the window plate, wherein the vehicle windshield includes a first area where the transparent film is not provided and a second area where the transparent film is provided, at a central area when viewed from a front side, and a boundary between the first area and the second area has no perspective distortion and is constituted by a boundary line having line width visually recognized by scattering of irradiated light of 10 μm to 200 μm.
