Publication number: 20090257141Abstract: A bent glass sheet (1) with a light-shielding film for vehicles includes a glass sheet, and a light-shielding film formed in at least a part, i.e. a film-formed portion (11), of a peripheral portion of one surface of the glass sheet. The light-shielding film is composed of a band-shaped film (12) and a dot-patterned film (13). The band-shaped film is arranged in an outer part of the peripheral portion. The dot-patterned film composed of a plurality of dots (14) is arranged in an inner part with reference to the band-shaped film. The plurality of dots are positioned so that a distribution of the dot shielding ratios decreases from the edge of the band-shaped film toward a side of a glass surface (a non-film-formed portion (15)) on which the band-shaped film is not formed, where the dot shielding ratios are values of peaks of mountains formed of a distribution of the dot-width shielding ratios, or dot-diameter shielding ratios.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2006Publication date: October 15, 2009Applicant: Nippon Sheet Glass Company, LimitedInventors: Kazuo Yamada, Takahiro Shimomura, Masayuki Shiotsuka, Hisashi Asaoka
