A laminated glazing assembly includes an outer glass substrate, an inner glass substrate, and a polymeric interlayer disposed therebetween. The laminated glazing assembly also includes an antenna assembly disposed between the polymeric interlayer and one of the outer glass substrate and the inner glass substrate. The antenna assembly includes a film layer that carries a radiating element. The film layer may be a transparent film layer having a refractive index of from 1.45 to 1.55. The radiating element includes conductive wires disposed on the film layer and configured to be energized to transmit and/or receive radio frequency signals. The laminated glazing assembly may also include an adhesive layer disposed between the film layer and one of the outer glass substrate and the inner glass substrate, and a feeding element coupled to the inner glass substrate and capacitively coupled to the antenna assembly to energize the antenna assembly to transmit and/or receive radio frequency signals.

A method of manufacturing a glass assembly to have a performance-enhancing feature includes a step of forming a glass substrate that is curved. The method also includes digitally-applying an ink without a mask onto a surface of the curved glass substrate. The method further includes curing the ink to form the performance-enhancing feature on the surface of the curved glass substrate.

A method of manufacturing a glass assembly to have a conductive feature includes a step of forming a glass substrate that is curved. The method also includes digitally-applying a conductive ink without a mask onto a surface of the curved glass substrate. The method further includes curing the conductive ink to form the conductive feature on the surface of the curved glass substrate, with the conductive feature having a resolution of greater than 200 dots per inch.
