Abstract
A laminated glazing unit incorporates an electroluminescent element laminated to a transparent exterior ply. The electroluminescent element is selectively operable to generate visible light by passing current through electrodes contacting the electroluminescent material. The glazing unit can further have a solar load reduction film. One or more Fabry-Perot interference filters may serve as the electrode(s) of the electroluminescent element to provide the additional function of solar load reduction.
