  • Patent number: 11953713
    Abstract: A laminated glazing having a first glass substrate (104) and a second glass substrate (108) and a polymer interlayer (106) laminated between the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate, being formed with a light path (120) formed in any one or combination of the first and second glass substrates and the polymer interlayer for guiding light emitted from a light source (112), a light introduction surface (110) for introducing the light emitted from the light source into the light path, and a light extraction surface (130,150) for extracting, from the light path, the light to either one or both of an interior and an exterior of the first and second glass substrates.

  • Patent number: 11833783
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11639048
    Abstract: Disclosed generally herein is a laminated vehicle glazing including first and second glass sheets and a polymer interlayer interposed therebetween. The interlayer includes a major part and a stiff part adjacent to the major part. The stiff part does not surround the major part, such that the major part is along at least one edge of the laminated vehicle glazing. The stiff part includes at least one layer made of a material that has a higher Young's modulus than that of the material used in the major part. Young's modulus in the thickness direction of the stiff part is higher than that of the major part.
