In an embodiment, a light emissive window assembly for providing illumination to an occupant compartment of an automobile comprises a window panel comprising a transparent viewing area and an emissive area, wherein the emissive area is configured to emit light into the occupant compartment and the transparent viewing area is not configured to emit light; wherein the emissive area comprises an abrasion resistant layer, an ultraviolet protective layer, a base layer, and an emissive layer; wherein the ultraviolet protective layer is located in between the abrasion resistant layer and the base layer; and wherein the base layer is located in between the ultraviolet protective layer and the emissive layer.

Light emissive plastic glazing having a multilayered configuration for illuminating passenger compartment

A window assembly having a first transparent area and a light emissive area. The panel includes a first transparent layer with an ultraviolet blocking layer and an abrasion layer. The light emissive area includes a light emissive layer that may be an organic light emitting display, an electroluminescent display, a polymer light emitting display or a light pipe configured to receive light from a light source.

Light emissive plastic glazing

An economical method of manufacturing a plastic glazing panel having a decorative marking and/or opaque border printed from a UV curable ink is presented. This economical method includes the steps of forming a plastic panel; printing an opaque pattern from an ink, the pattern having an A-side and a B-side with the B-side being in contact with the plastic panel; curing the ink in the shape of the printed pattern using UV radiation directed at the ink from both the A-side and B-side; applying a weatherable layer on the A side of the pattern and on the plastic panel; curing the weatherable layer; and depositing an abrasion resistant layer onto the weatherable layer.
