  • Glazing comprising electronics elements
    Patent number: 7745838
    Abstract: The invention consists of inserting electronic components into a glazing, in particular a laminated glazing, in order to create new features, in particular for automotive applications, windscreen, rear window or side windows. The inserted electronic components can be optoelectronic components such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) providing a lighting function for the glazing, e.g. interior lighting of an automobile. The electrical connections are provided by means of a conductive layer so that they are virtually invisible.
