  • Patent number: 12181741
    Abstract: A multilayer film having electrically controllable optical properties. The multilayer film has a first carrier film, a first planar electrode, an active layer having one or more layers in sequence, a second planar electrode, and a second carrier film, arranged one above the other in a planar manner. The first planar electrode and the active layer and optionally the second planar electrode are divided by at least one insulation line into at least two segments that are electrically insulated from one another. The insulation line is introduced with a laser through one of the carrier films and into the first planar electrode and the active layer and optionally the second planar electrode.

  • Publication number: 20240367417
    Abstract: A multilayer film having electrically controllable optical properties. The multilayer film has a first carrier film, a first planar electrode, an active layer having one or more layers in sequence, a second planar electrode, and a second carrier film, arranged one above the other in a flat manner. In a contact region, the first carrier film, the first planar electrode, and the active layer are removed, such that the second planar electrode is exposed. The contact region is designed in the shape of a strip with tapered ends.

  • Publication number: 20240150216
    Abstract: A laminated glazing having at least one cut-out and a method for cutting a laminated glazing, particularly for a motor vehicle, including at least a first glass sheet, a second glass assembled by an interlayer including at least one sheet of polymer material, the glazing further including an insert having a hole delimited by an inner contour, the insert being housed in a recess provided in the interlayer, the method including detecting, by a vision device, the inner contour; calculating a cutting path to be traveled based on the detection of the inner contour; and cutting, by a laser source having a beam, the first glass sheet based on the calculated cutting path.

  • Publication number: 20230339215
    Abstract: A laminated pane with an electrically controllable functional element switchable in segments, includes first and second panes joined to one another via an intermediate layer, and a functional element embedded in the intermediate layer. The functional element includes, flat atop one another in this order, a first carrier film, a first flat electrode, an active layer, a second flat electrode, and a second carrier film, the first flat electrode is divided into segments by at least one separating line, a group of first bus bars electrically conductively contacts the first flat electrode, at least one second bus bar electrically conductively contacts the second flat electrode. In the region of a separating line a recess is introduced in the first electrode, which recess surrounds a portion of the first electrode and electrically insulates the portion situated within the recess from the surface region of the first electrode situated outside the recess.
