Abstract: Adaptive laminated panel element for a vehicle window to reduce the effect of glare of a light source comprising a first panel and a second panel, a liquid crystal layer, and at least one connecting layer for connecting the first panel and the second panel with a spacing with respect to one another, wherein the liquid crystal layer is arranged between the first panel and the second panel or is applied to a surface of one of the first panel or the second panel, and wherein transparency of the adaptive laminated panel element is varied by controlling the liquid crystal layer via electrodes, and wherein the connecting layer is a birefringence-free adhesive layer and the laminated panel element is configured as safety glass for use as a vehicle window.

Abstract: A device comprising a dimmable panel comprising a plurality of individually dimmable cells attached to a window glass, an optical sensor to detect an image of one or more objects, a computation unit, communicably coupled to the dimmable panel and the optical sensor, to: i) cause to darken one or more cells of the plurality of individual dimmable cells of the dimmable panel, ii) cause the optical sensor to capture an image of the one or more objects, and, iii) determine, based on the image, whether a shadow is cast on the one or more objects due to the one or more darkened cells.
