  • Publication number: 20200047465
    Abstract: An intelligent transmittance control system includes a multilayer film having electrically controllable fields, wherein the optical properties of the fields are influenced by the control, a controller, and a sensor, wherein the multilayer film includes first and second structured electrically conductive layers, wherein an electrically active layer is arranged between the first and second conductive layers, and wherein the structuring of the first electrically conductive layer has an angle of more than 0° relative to the structuring of the second electrically conductive layer. The controllable fields are created by overlapping the structures of the first and second conductive layers. The controller controls the strips of the first and second conductive layers as a function of the sensor such that the optical properties of one or a plurality of fields are selectively influenced.

  • Publication number: 20190168488
    Abstract: A composite pane having a multiple-ply composite layer arranged between outer and inner panes is presented. The composite layer is a laminate that includes a first thermoplastic film, a polyester film, and a second thermoplastic film. Thicknesses a, b, and c of the first thermoplastic film, the polyester film and the second thermoplastic film, are bound by the expressions: a/b=1/5 to 5/1, and c/(a+b)=25/1 to 2/1. The first thermoplastic film and the polyester film have a common edge that runs at a distance A from the edge of the second thermoplastic film, and the material of the second thermoplastic film fills the space between the common edge, the inner face of the outer pane, and the edge of the second thermoplastic film situated at the distance A from the common edge. Methods for use and production of the composite pane are also presented.
