Abstract: An integrated glazing unit (IGU) includes a first pane, an electronic laminate that includes an electronic device provided between first and second substrates, a plurality of terminals coupled to the electronic device, and the first substrate being attached to the first pane. The IGU also includes a second pane coupled to the electronic laminated assembly by a spacer, the spacer being recessed with respect to the laminate edge and the second pane edge, forming an interpane volume, R, between the first and second panes. The IGU further includes a gutter having an open face and giving access to an inner volume, Vi. The gutter is positioned within the interpane volume, R, with the open face being recessed from, flush with or extending by less than 10 mm from the second pane edge. The gutter is suitable for receiving the male and/or female electric connector of a cable harness in the inner volume, Vi.

Abstract: Method for producing a HUD compatible windshield comprising a HUD viewing field (13), said windshield comprising a wedge layer (15) made from a universal wedge layer (14), said universal wedge layer (14) comprising a portion (12) with a thickness profile having a monotonously changing wedge angle wherein said profile comprises a range of wedge angles encompassing wedge angle values adapted to different windshield models, said universal wedge layer (14) having dimensions different from the dimensions of said windshield, said method comprising the following step of: Adapting the dimensions of the universal wedge layer (14) to size said wedge layer (15), wherein said adapting is such that said wedge layer (15) the dimensions of said windshield and such that the wedge angle (W1, W2) at the centre (X1, X2) of the HUD viewing field is appropriate for compensating the double images occurring in reflection at outside and inside surfaces (8, 9) of the windshield at the centre (X1, X2) of said HUD viewing field (13).
