An interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention contains a light stabilizer, and an oxidation inhibitor, and has one end, and the other end being at an opposite side of the one end and having a larger thickness than the one end, and the interlayer film for laminated glass has an increment not constant in thickness from the one end to the other end.

Due to the increased glazed area of modern vehicles, especially the large panoramic glass roofs, we have seen a substantial growth in the use of anti-reflective coatings. Unfortunately, these types of coatings accentuate fingerprints and smudges. The invention provides an automotive glazing which is substantially resistant to fingerprints, and a method of manufacture thereof through the application of an anti-fingerprint coating based on low surface energy silanes.

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.

Embodiments of a vehicle interior system are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the system includes a base with a curved surface, and a display or touch panel disposed on the curved surface. The display includes a cold-bent glass substrate with a thickness of 1.5 mm or less and a first radius of curvature of 20 mm or greater, and a display module and/or touch panel attached to the glass substrate having a second radius of curvature that is within 10% of the first radius of curvature. Methods for forming such systems are also disclosed.

Provided is an interlayer film for laminated glass capable of enhancing the sound insulating property over a wide range of temperature from 0° C. to 40° C. An interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention is an interlayer film for laminated glass having a one-layer structure or a two or more-layer structure, the interlayer film includes a resin layer, and a ratio of a first storage modulus G′ at a peak temperature of a maximum peak of tan δ to a second storage modulus G′ at a temperature 100° C. higher than the peak temperature of the maximum peak of tan δ is 50 or more and 500 or less in viscoelasticity measurement at a frequency of 1 Hz in a shearing mode.

The present invention provides an automobile window glass on which a device that acquires electromagnetic waves is disposable. The automobile window glass includes an outer glass plate, an inner glass plate, an intermediate film disposed between the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate, and a blocking layer that is disposed on at least one of a surface on the vehicle interior side of the outer glass plate and a surface on the vehicle interior side of the inner glass plate. The intermediate film includes a functional layer having a transmission region that allows transmission so as not to affect reception of the electromagnetic waves, and an adhesion layer that is disposed on at least one surface of the functional layer and does not affect reception of the electromagnetic waves. The blocking layer has at least one opening at a position corresponding to the transmission region.

The present invention relates to a laminated glass for vehicle, including a first glass plate and a second glass plate joined to each other by an intermediate film, in which the first glass plate has a second main surface facing the intermediate film; the laminated glass has a first region with the second glass plate and a second region with no second glass plate in a plan view; the laminated glass has a filling portion that includes an electromagnetic wave transmission member and is disposed continuously from the second main surface on the second region toward a space between the first glass plate and the second glass plate in the first region to cross the entire boundary between the first region and the second region; and the second region is higher in transmittance of millimeter waves than the first region.
