Abstract: A transparent layered element includes two transparent external layers having substantially the same refractive index and each having a smooth external main surface, and a central layer intermediate between the external layers, the central layer including at least one transparent layer of refractive index different from that of the external layers or a metal layer. All the contact surfaces between two adjacent layers of the layered element, one of the two layers of which is a metal layer, or that are two transparent layers of different refractive indices, being textured and parallel to one another, the diffuse light reflection of the layered element on the side of at least one of the external layers having at least one maximum in a direction different from the direction of specular reflection. In addition, the surface of the layered element is divided into a plurality of pixels of same size.

Abstract: A method includes aligning a plurality i of juxtaposable laser lines in order to form a continuous overall laser line suitable for heat treating a planar substrate capable of being made to move rectilinearly in a first direction, each laser line being formed by a module that emits a laser line onto the surface S of the planar substrate, on which surface a heat treatment is capable of being carried out.

Abstract: A layered element includes two transparent outer layers having approximately the same refractive index and each having a smooth outer main surface, the layered element including a screen zone with properties of diffuse reflection and specular transmission comprising a textured middle layer interposed between the outer layers, a peripheral zone with properties of specular reflection and specular transmission, and a transition zone with properties of diffuse reflection and specular transmission between the screen zone and the peripheral zone, which includes a textured middle layer interposed between the outer layers.
