Abstract: A vehicle compound glazing unit with first and second regions including a first pane having first and second surfaces, a second pane having third and fourth surfaces, a first thermoplastic polymer interlayer, wherein the first interlayer is arranged between the second surface of the first pane and the third surface of the second pane, and a heatable layer or coating arranged at the second surface of the first pane or the third surface of the second pane, the heatable layer or coating provided with two or more electrical contacts. The vehicle compound glazing unit also includes a diffusely reflecting structure in the second region, which diffusely reflects incident light directed to the glazing unit from the interior of the vehicle and having a maximum gain in the range of 0.1 to 0.8.

Abstract: A head-up display (HUD), includes an imaging unit, an optical element, which is suitable for deflecting the radiation of the imaging unit in the direction of a windshield and thereby irradiating an HUD region of the windshield in order to generate a virtual image, a positioning device, which is suitable for fixing the windshield in a defined arrangement relative to the optical element, and a camera unit, which is suitable for capturing the virtual image through the windshield from different eye positions, wherein the optical element is configured such that the entire virtual image lies within the depth of field range of the camera unit.

Abstract: A vehicle glazing and display system includes a vehicle compound glazing unit including a layer or surface which diffusely reflects incident light directed to the glazing unit from the interior of the vehicle and having a maximum gain in the range of 0.1 to 0.8 and a viewing angle for a real image element generated within the glazing plane of more than 60°, in a first direction and of more than 30°, in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction, and a projector for projecting an image to the vehicle glazing unit to generate a real image in the plane of the glazing unit and wherein the vehicle compound glazing unit is a windshield.

Abstract: An HUD system, includes at least one first HUD device, namely an AR-HUD device, with at least one first image source for displaying a first image produced by at least one hologram in a first display section of a display region and at least one second HUD device with at least one second image source for displaying a second image produced using geometric projection optics in a second display section of the display region.

Abstract: Thermoplastic film suitable as an intermediate layer for a laminated glass pane, wherein the thermoplastic film includes a defined region, which is provided for a camera window or an HUD (head-up display) region that has a non-zero wedge angle, and a region surrounding the defined region on all sides, in which the thermoplastic film has a substantially constant thickness, wherein the maximum thickness in the defined region of the thermoplastic film is less than the thickness in the surrounding region.

Abstract: A method for producing a thermoplastic combination film suitable for a composite glass pane, wherein the thermoplastic combination film includes at least one defined area, which is provided for a camera window or an HUD (head-up display) region that has a variable wedge angle, the method including providing a first thermoplastic film, producing a second thermoplastic film with a variable wedge angle, wherein the three-dimensional shape of second thermoplastic film is obtained by molding on a mold, and joining together the first thermoplastic film and the second thermoplastic film.

Abstract: A method for producing a composite pane suitable as a projection surface of a projection assembly, wherein (a) a polarisation-selective coating is provided on a carrier film; (b) the polarisation-selective coating is transferred from the carrier film onto a laminating film, by (i) arranging the carrier film and the laminating film areally one atop the other with the coating positioned therebetween to form a film stack, (ii) treating the film stack for at least 2 hours at a pressure of at least 8 bar and a temperature of 80° C. to 120° C. in an autoclave, and (iii) peeling the carrier film off the laminating film, with the coating remaining on the laminating film; (c) the laminating film is arranged areally between a first pane and a second pane; and (d) the first pane is laminated with the second pane via the laminating film to form the composite pane.
