Abstract: To prevent a light control device from being scarred.
A laminated glass 10 comprises a pair of glass plates 11 and 12, and
a light control device 15 formed between the pair of glass plates 11 and 12, having a liquid crystal layer 153, a substrate 151, a conductive film 152 formed on one surface 151 S1 of the substrate 151 and a protective film 154 formed on the other surface 151S2 of the substrate 151. The liquid crystal layer has at least one member selected from the group consisting of guest-host liquid crystal, TN liquid crystal, PC liquid crystal, STN liquid crystal, ECB liquid crystal, OCB liquid crystal, IPS liquid crystal and VA liquid crystal. The protective film 154 has abrasion resistance higher than that of the substrate 151.

Abstract: A laminated glass includes a pair of glass plates, an interlayer film, and a functional element contacting with the interlayer film, and including conductive films, electrodes, an electrode section, a non-electrode section, a first reference surface, and a second reference surface. When an average value of a height of the electrode section is denoted as t1, an average value of a height of the electrode section as t2, and a length in a crosswise direction of the one of the electrodes as w, 0≤w×t1≤0.7, 0≤w×t2≤0.7, and 3≤w≤20 are satisfied. The functional element is a light control element or an electric heating element, the light control element including: substrates on which conductive films are formed, and a light control layer made of any one or more selected from a group consisting of a suspended particle device, a guest-host liquid crystal, a photochromic material, an electrochromic material, and an electrokinetic material.
