  • Publication number: 20250108587
    Abstract: An arrangement, includes an illuminable pane having a first main surface and an opposite second main surface, an illuminating device for generating light, the illuminating device being configured such that at least part of the light generated by the illuminating device is incident on the first main surface in such a manner that it can pass the illuminable pane and leave the illuminable pane at the second main surface, a reflective structure arranged at the second main surface, provided with a plurality of reflective surfaces for the reflection of light, the reflective surfaces being in the form of inclined surfaces that are coated with a reflective layer, the reflective surfaces being configured such that at least part of the light leaving the second main surface can be reflected into the illuminable pane at such an angle that total reflection of the reflected light takes place in the illuminable pane.

  • Publication number: 20250102722
    Abstract: An illuminated glass element, including a glass pane with a first surface, a second surface, and a side edge face extending therebetween. The glass pane is equipped with at least one light source, which is suitable for coupling light into the glass pane such that the light propagates in the glass pane, in particular by total reflection at the first surface and the second surface. The glass pane is provided with at least one light-scattering structure, which is suitable for coupling said light out of the glass pane via the first surface and/or via the second surface. The glass pane is also provided, in a peripheral edge region, at least in sections, with a light trap, which is suitable for reducing the emission of the light via the side edge face. The light trap is formed from a light-scattering or light-diffracting layer on the first surface and an opaque element on the second surface.
