A vehicle pane with reduced emissivity and light reflection, includes a substrate having an exposed interior-side surface, an emissivity-reducing coating containing at least one layer based on a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) on the interior-side surface, and an anti-reflection coating based on nanoporous silicon oxide on the emissivity-reducing coating.

A visor assembly for a vehicle includes a visor body comprising adjacent hingedly connected panels each fabricated of a polarizing material. A closure is provided to hold the adjacent panels in a closed configuration. The assembly may further include an articulating mirror assembly whose movement is independent of any movement of the visor assembly.

A plastic glazing of a tailgate of a vehicle is provided, the plastic glazing comprising a translucent component, wherein a portion of the translucent component forms a rear window of the vehicle, a colored component molded onto the translucent component in a second shot, wherein the colored component comprises a lens of a light unit, a non-transparent component molded onto the translucent component, wherein an overlapping portion of the translucent component and the non-transparent component forms a blackout region proximate to the rear window, wherein the plastic glazing is of one-piece molded plastic construction, wherein the translucent component comprises a first textured surface in a region adjacent to the blackout region, where the first textured surface is configured to conceal a component of the vehicle.

To suppress deterioration in a wiping property of wipers and increase in a load on the wipers. In glass for vehicles (1) including a light blocking region, a far-infrared ray transmission region is formed in the light blocking region, the far-infrared ray transmission region being provided with an opening (19) and a far-infrared ray transmission member (20) disposed in the opening (19), and the glass for vehicles (1) and the far-infrared ray transmission member (20) are bonded to each other with a frame member (30) interposed therebetween. Regarding the frame member (30), where a length of the longest straight line among straight lines each connecting optional two points on an inner circumference on a side facing the opening (19) in a surface on a vehicle exterior side is D, and a thickness of a portion projecting from a surface on the vehicle exterior side of the glass for vehicles (1) is t, D.sup.2/t is larger than 1250, and t is equal to or smaller than 2.5 mm.

A coated article includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer, a first metallic layer, a first primer layer, a second dielectric layer, a second metallic layer, a second primer layer, a third dielectric layer, a third primer layer, a third metallic layer, and a fourth dielectric layer. The total combined thickness of the metallic layers is at least 30 nanometers and no more than 60 nanometers. The article can have a sheet resistance of less than 0.85 Ω/□, a visible light reflectance of not more than 10%, and a visible light transmittance of at least 70%.

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 lighting apparatus formed from a translucent cylindrical foam tube such as a white “pool noodle” that is soft, flexible, and resilient and has a flexible electrically powered internal illumination source such as an LED strip bearing multiple LEDs extending through its interior. The lighting apparatus is typically provided with electricity via a plug adapted for insertion into an automobile cigarette lighter socket, and is readily positioned along the interior edges of an automobile window for illumination of areas where window tint/film is being applied to the window. The lighting apparatus can also have a self-contained power source and be connected in series for added versatility and utility.

An optical coating for a glass substrate includes an inner metal or metal alloy layer, a first pair of transparent conductive oxide or dielectric layers, and a pair of outer metal or metal alloy layers. The optical coating includes an eye-weighted transmittance of less than about 20% and an eye-weighted reflectance of less than about 30%, as measured with a D65 illuminant according to the CIE 10° Standard Observer.

A vehicle glazing according to this disclosure comprises a glass sheet or glass sheets, and an ultraviolet light sensor for sensing an amount of ultraviolet light transmitted through the glass sheet or sheets. The ultraviolet light sensor may be provided on a glass surface as to receive light transmitted through at least one of the glass sheets and may be formed with an indicator showing information of the interior UV status.

A laminated vehicle glazing with includes a first extraclear glass sheet forming an exterior glazing, a lamination interlayer and a second glass sheet forming an interior glazing with a traversing hole in these last two.
