  • Patent number: 10191280
    Abstract: A glazing for information display includes an assembly of two transparent inorganic or plastic sheets, connected together by a thermoplastic or adhesive interlayer or by multilayer sheets incorporating the interlayer, wherein a luminophore material is incorporated to enable the display. One of the luminophores includes a benzene ring substituted at least by: a first ester —COOR group, wherein R is a linear or branched carbon-based group including a main carbon-based chain of at least six consecutive carbon atoms, the R group including, if the chain is linear, more than 10 carbon atoms and, if the chain is branched, at least 7 carbon atoms, optionally a second —COOR? group, wherein R? is another hydrocarbon-based group or hydrogen, the second group optionally being in para position on the benzene ring with respect to the first ester group, two hydroxyl —OH groups that are optionally in para position on the benzene ring.

  • Publication number: 20140124029
    Abstract: A conducting substrate includes a dielectric substrate having alkali ions, an electrode coating having a molybdenum-based layer on the substrate, and a stack of several layers between the substrate and the electrode coating. The stack comprises a first layer impermeable to alkali on the substrate, a layer for retention of alkali on the first layer impermeable to alkali and made of another material, and a second layer impermeable to alkali on the layer for retention of alkali and made of a material other than the layer for retention of alkali. The ratio of the thickness of the layer for retention of alkali to the first layer impermeable to alkali is equal to 2 or more.
