  • Publication number: 20220338310
    Abstract: A glass plate module according to the present invention is a glass plate module to which a wire for supplying electric power is capable of being joined and includes a glass plate, a heating wire disposed on the glass plate, and an electricity supply portion that is disposed on the glass plate and supplies electric power to the heating wire. The electricity supply portion is formed using conductive print that contains, as a main component, metal microparticles whose thermal expansion coefficient is larger than that of the glass plate, and the electricity supply portion is thinner than the heating wire.

  • Publication number: 20180257342
    Abstract: A laminated glass according to an aspect of the present invention includes: an outer glass plate that includes a first surface and a second surface and that curves such that the first surface is convex and the second surface is concave; an inner glass plate that includes a third surface and a fourth surface and that curves such that the third surface is convex and the fourth surface is concave; an interlayer that is arranged between the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate and bonds the second surface of the outer glass plate and the third surface of the inner glass plate together; and a blocking layer that is made of ceramic and is layered along a peripheral edge portion of at least one of the second surface, the third surface, and the fourth surface. The ceramic is configured such that the maximum value of reflectivity with respect to light in a wavelength range of 1000 nm to 2500 nm is 15% or more.

  • Publication number: 20130022819
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a transfer body, which method neither causes adhesion failure at the interface between a transferring film and a substrate, nor causes interlayer peeling in the transferring film. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a transfer body with high productivity, which method neither causes breakage of a functional pattern forming a transferring layer during peeling of a release film from the transferring film, nor causes any damage to the substrate during separation of an attaching roller and a peeling roller from the substrate.
