  • Publication number: 20190111664
    Abstract: A laminated pane having two main surfaces and a circumferential edge surface is presented. The laminated pane includes, in order and adhesively joined one atop another, a transparent glass pane, a transparent adhesion-promoting layer, an opaque or translucent stone layer, and an all-around seal of the circumferential edge surface. According to one aspect, the all-around seal has at least two polymer layers of different materials. One of the polymer layers is an adhesive film that engages, on its boundary layer, in pores and/or cracks of the stone layer. The other polymer layer is a barrier film that forms a fluid barrier. Methods for producing and using of the laminated pane are also presented.

  • Patent number: 9978892
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a transparent pane, in particular a glass pane, which includes on at least one of its main surfaces a surface structure including an assembly of specified individual motifs in relief, in particular pyramids, cones, or truncated cones, created by embossing or by rolling. A structure is created on the surface of the pane constituted by individual motifs, based on one or more basic motifs but which are distinguished from each other by their depth, their height, and/or the perimeter of their base area, and/or by the position of their peak with respect to their base. With this variation, formation of intensity peaks of the reflected light is prevented and at the same time a high quality of light trapping is obtained by panes suitable, for example, for solar applications.

  • Patent number: 9359807
    Abstract: A transparent panel is described. The transparent panel has at least one transparent substrate and at least one electrically conductive coating on at least one surface of the transparent substrate. The electrically conductive coating has at least two functional layers which are arranged one above the other, and each functional layer has at least an optically highly refractive material layer, which has a refractive index greater than or equal to 2.1, and a smoothing layer, which is above the optically highly refractive material layer. The smoothing layer contains at least one non-crystalline oxide, a first matching layer, which is above the smoothing layer, an electrically conductive layer, which is above the first matching layer, and a second matching layer, which is above the electrically conductive layers. The total thickness of all the electrically conductive layers is between 40 nm and 75 nm, and the electrically conductive coating has a low ohm/square sheet resistance.

  • Patent number: 9340453
    Abstract: This transparent glass substrate has at least one face which is provided with a texturing formed by a plurality of geometric features in relief relative to a general plane of the face, this texturing being adapted in order to ensure a transmission of radiation through the substrate greater than the transmission of radiation through a substrate that is identical but lacks texturing. The face of the substrate is also provided with an antireflection layer having a refractive index between the refractive index of air and the refractive index of the glass. The antireflection layer is an etched out superficial portion of the glass substrate on the side of the face, which comprises a structure based on silica and voids having a characteristic dimension between 0.5 nanometers and 50 nanometers.
