A pre-laminated opacifying assembly configured to cooperate with at least one transparent protection element, the pre-laminated opacifying assembly including a functional layer having a degree of opacity adapted to be modified, a bonding material attached on at least one face of the functional layer, the bonding material being configured to cooperate with the at least one transparent protection element so as to secure the at least one transparent protection element to the functional layer, the bonding material being configured to maintain adhesive properties for at least two firings such that a first firing secures the bonding material and the functional layer and a second firing secures the bonding material and the at least one transparent protection element.

Methods for preparing multi-layer optical laminates include placing an optical film that is free form an adhesive layer between first and second glass substrates that are free of an adhesive layer, placing this laminate under vacuum, and then heating the laminate under pressure to a temperature above the softening temperature of the optical film. The glass substrates are free of an adhesive layer but may include a silane surface treatment. The resulting multi-layer laminate is optically clear and does not show scattering of reflected light by the optical film.

A glass laminate structure is disclosed with a first and a second glass ply and a printed polymer ply interposed between the first and second glass plies, the printed polymer ply may be of PVB or PET having nanoparticle-containing ink adhered to at least a portion of a surface. Optionally there may be at least one further polymer ply which may be of PVB, PVA, COP or TPU. The nanoparticle-containing ink may contain electrically conductive nanoparticles, especially silver nanoparticle-containing ink. Also disclosed is a process for producing such a glass laminate structure.

A laminated glazing incorporates an electrically controllable device and the manufacture thereof including an operation of preassembly with a thin plastic strip.

The present disclosure relates to a laminated vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit (1) comprising: a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit (11) comprising at least two thermally tempered glass sheets (11a, 11b) separated by a plurality of support structures (12) distributed in a gap (13) between the tempered glass sheets (11a, 11b), and a lamination layer (2) arranged between one of the thermally tempered glass sheets (11a, 11b) of the vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit (11) and a further sheet (3). The thickness (Th1) of the lamination layer (2) is between 0.25 mm and 3 mm, such as between 0.4 mm and 3 mm, for example between 0.7 mm and 2.4 mm, and the lamination layer thickness varies (VAR1) with at least 0.1 mm such as at least 0.2 mm, e.g. at least 0.3 mm between the further sheet (3) and the vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit (11). The disclosure additionally relates to use of a method and use of a system for providing laminated vacuum insulated glass (VIG) units (200).

A method for laminating glass sheets is disclosed. A sandwich structure sheet moving in a heating furnace on rollers is heated by two-sided hot air blasting which is carried out by several successive blowing aperture sections, and, to reduce or prevent the formation of air bubbles in finished laminated glass, the heating of the rear end of the sandwich structure sheet is prevented by cutting off the hot air blasting of at least one blowing aperture section when the rear edge of the sandwich structure sheet approaches the blowing aperture section. An apparatus for laminating glass sheets is also disclosed, comprising a heating furnace, a pair of press rolls and means for establishing location data on the sandwich structure sheet. The heating furnace is provided with a roller track, a blower, a heating resistor, an air distribution conduit, and several successive blowing boxes with closing means.

An manufacturing method of an electronic device includes: providing a first substrate and a second substrate; attaching an adhesive member onto the first substrate; and performing a curve attaching step, so that the first substrate and the second substrate are attached to each other through the adhesive member to form a curved composite component, wherein the curve attaching step is performed at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius to 160 degrees Celsius.

A method according to this disclosure includes stacking a first glass sheet, a first interlayer, a film, a second interlayer, and a second glass sheet to provide a lamination stack, wherein the film has a first film edge that is a first distance from a first edge of the lamination stack to provide a first film cutback; deairing the lamination stack; and autoclaving the lamination stack to provide the laminated glazing, wherein the film shrinks during autoclaving wherein a seal formed during deairing is sufficient such that no air is introduced to the lamination stack during autoclaving and no air is left in the laminated glazing.

Laminated glass for a vehicle front window includes a curved first glass plate having a trapezoidal or rectangular shape; a second glass plate having the same shape as the first glass plate; and an intermediate film disposed between the first and second glass plates.

An imaging section of an image projected from an imaging device incorporated in a dash board on a driver's seat side is included in an indoor side surface of the laminated glass in a state in which the laminated glass is incorporated in a vehicle body.

The intermediate film is provided with a wedge angle profile in a longitudinal direction and a horizontal direction of the laminated glass, and a thickness based on the wedge angle profile of the intermediate film based on the wedge angle profile continuously decreases from an upper side to a lower side and continuously decreases in a direction from a driver's seat side to a passenger seat side.
