A laminated glazing according to this disclosure includes a first glass sheet having first and second opposing surfaces, a second glass sheet having third and fourth opposing surfaces, an interlayer positioned between the second surface of the first glass sheet and the third surface of the second glass sheet, a first opaque layer, and a first reflective layer on the second glass sheet in an area overlapping with the first opaque layer.

Glazing for head-up display

A method of preparing a glazing, comprising: stacking a first glass sheet, a first interlayer, a photopolymer film, a second interlayer, and a second glass sheet to provide a lamination stack; deairing the lamination stack; autoclaving the lamination stack to provide a laminated glazing; applying a reactive light to the photopolymer film in the laminated glazing, wherein reactive light is applied to the laminated glazing through a master holographic film; and bleaching the laminated glazing such that the photopolymer film is no longer reactive to light exposure.

Laminated glazing having holographic film and method for producing a laminated glazing

An antireflective switchable laminated glass construction having a switchable functional film formed of a switchable material layer, a first polymer substrate with a first transparent conductive coating, and a second polymer substrate with a second transparent conductive coating. The switchable functional film is sandwiched between first adhesive polymer interlayer and glass substrate and second adhesive polymer interlayer and glass substrate. The switchable laminated glass construction in an ON (transparent) state has a total light transmittance higher than 50% and a reflectance equal to or less than 13%, as measured from at least one side of the switchable laminated glass construction.

Antireflective switchable glass construction

Certain example embodiments relate to a vehicle windshield with a head-up display system, including first and second spaced-apart substrates sandwiching a polymer-inclusive interlayer therebetween, and an anti-reflective coating provided on an exterior surface of the first substrate or an interior surface of the second substrate in opposite to the polymer-inclusive interlayer. An image source directing light rays towards one of the substrates, has an light emission profile showing the strongest light strength at a first wavelength, whereas the anti-reflective coating has a broad reflectance spectrum, showing the lowest reflectance at a second wavelength, which substantially matches the first wavelength.

Vehicle windshield for use with head-up display system

A glazing applicable to multiple illumination products comprises a first glass substrate having first and second surfaces, a second glass substrate having third and fourth surfaces, a polymer interlayer laminated between the first and second substrates, and a coating including a first luminescent material and being applied on one of the third and fourth surfaces of the second glass substrate, for emitting light to both of the interior and exterior.

Luminescent glazing

A method according to this disclosure includes stacking a first glass sheet, a first interlayer, a film, a second interlayer, and a second glass sheet to provide a lamination stack, wherein the film has a first film edge that is a first distance from a first edge of the lamination stack to provide a first film cutback; deairing the lamination stack; and autoclaving the lamination stack to provide the laminated glazing, wherein the film shrinks during autoclaving wherein a seal formed during deairing is sufficient such that no air is introduced to the lamination stack during autoclaving and no air is left in the laminated glazing.
