The invention relates to a laminated glass sunroof for a motor vehicle, including a means for illuminating the passenger compartment, said means including a set of light-emitting diodes incorporated between the glass sheets, in the insert material of the laminate, said sunroof having a maximum light transmission (LT) factor of at most 50%, the number and power of the diodes being selected in order to ensure useful lighting without causing detrimental overheating for the components of the glass panel.

Sunroof comprising lighting means

The invention consists of inserting electronic components into a glazing, in particular a laminated glazing, in order to create new features, in particular for automotive applications, windscreen, rear window or side windows. The inserted electronic components can be optoelectronic components such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) providing a lighting function for the glazing, e.g. interior lighting of an automobile. The electrical connections are provided by means of a conductive layer so that they are virtually invisible.
