Abstract: A laminated glazing for use as a combiner in a head up display comprises first and second glazing panes with at least one adhesive ply and an infrared reflecting film therebetween. Light incident upon the first glazing pane at an angle of incidence of 60° is reflected off the laminated glazing to produce first, second and third reflections, the third reflection being from light reflected from the infrared reflecting film. The laminated glazing further comprises light intensity reducing means between the first and second glazing panes for reducing the intensity of the third reflection. In an aspect, upon directing a beam of electromagnetic radiation having an intensity IO at 770 nm toward the first pane of glazing material at an angle of incidence of 60°, the intensity of the third reflection at a wavelength of 770 nm is less than or equal to 0.185×IO.

Abstract: A coated glass pane comprising at least the following layers: a glass substrate and at least one absorbing layer based on at least one metal silicide and/or metal silicide nitride wherein the at least one absorbing layer is embedded between and contacts two layers based on an (oxi)nitride of Si and/or an (oxi)nitride of Al and/or alloys thereof.

Abstract: Bird collisions with windows or other glazings are minimized or prevented with a glazing comprising as least one substrate with a UV reflectance coating deposited over the substrate in a patterned arrangement comprised of a plurality of stripes, and each of the plurality of stripes has a thickness that changes by 10 nm or less over every 1 mm in width. Such an arrangement of stripes having soft edges are less apparent, and thus more aesthetically pleasing, when compared with a similar arrangement of stripes formed with hard edges, while providing an effective deterrent to bird collisions. The glazing may also be utilized as part of a laminated glazing or insulated glazing unit. A method of manufacturing the glazing is also provided.
