Abstract: A glazing applicable to multiple illumination products comprises a first glass substrate having first and second surfaces, a second glass substrate having third and fourth surfaces, a polymer interlayer laminated between the first and second substrates, and a coating including a first luminescent material and being applied on one of the third and fourth surfaces of the second glass substrate, for emitting light to both of the interior and exterior.

Abstract: A method of attaching an electrical connector to a glass substrate, includes the steps of positioning a connector over a glass substrate in an area for attaching the connector, and extruding a soldering material over the connector. Where the glazing includes a busbar on the glass substrate, the busbar may be arranged in the area for attaching the connector.

Abstract: A replication tool for use in preparing a holographic film by replication, comprising a base structure having a structure body and a channel configured to receive at least one of a laminated glazing and a master holographic film assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a laminated glazing having an electrically connectable layer, comprising: first and second glass substrates; an electrically connectable layer; interlayers rendering the electrically connectable layer positioned between interlayers; and a connection wire having first and second connection ends and a main portion positioned between the first and second connection ends. The first connection end of the connection wire is electrically connected to the electrically connectable layer, whereas the main portion of the connection wire is positioned within the interlayers.

Abstract: A laminated glazing to be used with an information acquisition system includes a first glass sheet; a first interlayer; a photopolymer film; a second interlayer; a second glass sheet; and a first information acquisition system viewing area for transmitting information to be collected by the information acquisition system wherein the photopolymer film provides an evenly patterned area in the first information acquisition system viewing area.

Abstract: A vehicle glazing according to this disclosure comprises a glass sheet or glass sheets, and an ultraviolet light sensor for sensing an amount of ultraviolet light transmitted through the glass sheet or sheets. The ultraviolet light sensor may be provided on a glass surface as to receive light transmitted through at least one of the glass sheets and may be formed with an indicator showing information of the interior UV status.

Abstract: A disclosed laminated glazing comprises a first glass sheet, a first interlayer, a holographic film, a second interlayer having a light transmission of at least 70% at a light wavelength in the range of 250 nm to 400 nm, a second glass sheet, and an ultraviolet light absorbing coating and a method of making such a laminated glazing.

Abstract: A method of preparing a glazing, comprising: stacking a first glass sheet, a first interlayer, a photopolymer film, a second interlayer, and a second glass sheet to provide a lamination stack; &airing the lamination stack; autoclaving the lamination stack to provide a laminated glazing; applying a reactive light to the photopolymer film in the laminated glazing, wherein reactive light is applied to the laminated glazing through a master holographic film; and bleaching the laminated glazing such that the photopolymer film is no longer reactive to light exposure.

Abstract: A laminated glazing is disclosed. Among other things, the laminated glazing includes a first glass sheet; a first interlayer; a photopolymer film; a second interlayer; and a second glass sheet, wherein the total thickness of the second glass sheet and the second interlayer is from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm.
