The invention concerns an automotive glazing comprising (i) at least one glass sheet having an absorption coefficient lower than 5 min the wavelength range from 750 to 1050 nm and having an external face and an internal face, and (ii) an infrared filter. According to the present invention, an infrared-based remote sensing device in the wavelength range from 750 to 1050 nm, and preferably in the wavelength range from 750 to 950 nm, is placed on the internal face of the glass sheet in a zone free of the infrared filter layer.

Glass for autonomous car

The invention concerns a trim element for a motor vehicle comprising at least one glass sheet having an absorption coefficient lower than 5 min the wavelength range from 750 to 1050 nm and having an external and an internal faces. According to the present invention, an infrared-based remote sensing device in the wavelength range from 750 to 1050 nm, is placed behind the internal face of the glass sheet.

Method for producing a HUD compatible windshield comprising a HUD viewing field (), said windshield comprising a wedge layer () made from a universal wedge layer (), said universal wedge layer () comprising a portion () with a thickness profile having a monotonously changing wedge angle wherein said profile comprises a range of wedge angles encompassing wedge angle values adapted to different windshield models, said universal wedge layer () having dimensions different from the dimensions of said windshield, said method comprising the following step of: Adapting the dimensions of the universal wedge layer () to size said wedge layer (), wherein said adapting is such that said wedge layer () the dimensions of said windshield and such that the wedge angle (W, W) at the centre (X, X) of the HUD viewing field is appropriate for compensating the double images occurring in reflection at outside and inside surfaces () of the windshield at the centre (X, X) of said HUD viewing field ().

A glass panel (), comprising: a first glass substrate (), a second glass substrate (), a spacer profile () at the periphery of the glass panel () between the first and the second glass substrate, the spacer being used to maintain an intermediate space () between the first and second glass substrates, the panel comprising an intermediate substrate () in the intermediate space () between the first () and the second () glass substrates, According to the invention, the panel comprises means to suspend () the intermediate substrate () within the intermediate space ().

Glass insulating panel

A glass lighting panel (), comprising: a first glass substrate (), a second glass substrate (), a spacer profile () at the periphery of the glass panel () between the first and the second glass substrate, the spacer being used to maintain an intermediate space () between the first and second glass substrates, According to the invention, the panel comprises: an intermediate organic glass substrate (), at least one light source (). According to the invention, the spacer profile () comprises: means () to maintain the intermediate organic glass substrate () in the intermediate space () between the first and the second glass substrates, means () to lodge the at least one light source () so as the at least one light source emits light into the intermediate organic glass substrate () predominantly along a plane of the panel. According to the invention, at least part of the intermediate organic glass substrate () is arranged to deflect the light out of the plane of the panel and through at least one of the first and second glass substrates to provide a diffused light output.
