Abstract: A method for producing a laminated pane with a functional element with electrically switchable optical properties, includes creating a first stack of layers including a first pane, a first thermoplastic laminating film, a separating film, a second thermoplastic laminating film, a second pane, laminating the first stack of layers while being heated, taking the first pane with the first thermoplastic laminating film off the second pane with the second thermoplastic laminating film, and the at least one separating film is removed from the stack of layers, providing a functional element having an active layer, placing the functional element into the stack of layers, whereby a second stack of layers is formed, laminating the second stack of layers to form a laminated pane, wherein the separating film is detachable residue-free from the first thermoplastic laminating film and the second thermoplastic laminating film.

Abstract: A laminated glazing (1) with liquid crystal variable transmission, comprising a first glass substrate (10) and a second glass substrate (11), at least one liquid crystal cell (2), a first interlayer (30) placed between the first glass substrate (10) and the liquid crystal cell (2), and a second interlayer (40) placed between the second glass substrate (11) and the liquid crystal cell (2), characterized in that said first interlayer (30) is a film made of a polymeric material and in that said second interlayer (40) is made of a transparent adhesive material (OCA) that is in the form of a liquid, prior to the manufacture of the glazing, and is crosslinkable.

Abstract: A composite pane includes outer and inner panes joined via an intermediate layer, an electrochromic functional element with electrically controllable optical properties within the intermediate layer, wherein the total solar energy transmittance in the darkened state is higher than in the bright state and/or the energy transmittance in the darkened state is higher than in the bright state, and an infrared protection layer having at least one silver-containing layer and arranged on an interior-side surface of the inner pane facing the intermediate layer, on an interior-side surface of the outer pane facing the intermediate layer, or within the intermediate layer. The infrared protection layer interacts with the functional element such that the total solar energy transmittance through the composite pane in the darkened state is lower than in the bright state and/or the energy transmittance through the composite pane in the darkened state is lower than in the bright state.

Abstract: A process for obtaining a material including a substrate coated on one of its sides with a coating including a functional layer, includes depositing the functional layer on the substrate, then depositing an absorbent layer on top of the functional layer, then performing a heat treatment by radiation, the radiation having at least one treatment wavelength between 200 and 2500 nm, the absorbent layer being in contact with air during the heat treatment, wherein the ab sorb ent layer ab sorbs at least 80% of the radiation used during the heat treatment and transmits less than 10% thereof.

Abstract: A process for depositing on a glass substrate a mineral functional layer or stack, includes depositing on the substrate a laser-crosslinkable organic photosensitive resin liquid composition, locally crosslinking the resin by a laser, removing the non-crosslinked liquid composition, depositing on the substrate thus coated a mineral functional layer or stack, and then performing combustion of the crosslinked solid resin via a heat treatment, completing its removal and that of the mineral layer or stack via a mechanical action, so as to obtain the mineral layer or stack in a pattern corresponding to the negative of that made with the crosslinked solid resin.
