Abstract: Due to the increased glazed area of modern vehicles, especially the large panoramic glass roofs, we have seen a substantial growth in the use of anti-reflective coatings. Unfortunately, these types of coatings accentuate fingerprints and smudges. The invention provides an automotive glazing which is substantially resistant to fingerprints, and a method of manufacture thereof through the application of an anti-fingerprint coating based on low surface energy silanes.

Abstract: The trend towards increasing the glazed area in automobiles has reduced the potential locations for mounting cabin lighting. This is especially true for vehicles having large panoramic glazing. Attempts to utilize integrated light sources within the glazing have had mixed results. Embedded LEDs in the laminate tend to be too bright for night driving. Edge feed illumination with light dispersing elements on the glass to date have only been able to provide low intensity levels. Both approaches tend to reduce visibility and aesthetics in the off state. The current invention provides a means and a method to produce a laminate which provides bright cabin lighting without compromising the function of the glazing to serve as a window, by creating a light dispersing layer that is substantially invisible when in the off state and very bright in the on state.

Abstract: Due to the increased glazed area of modern vehicles, especially the large panoramic glass roofs, we have seen a substantial growth in the use solar control glass and coatings. The solar glass compositions and coatings are expensive to manufacture. While solar coatings are more efficient than compositions, they typically cannot be used on monolithic glazing as they are not durable. They must be applied to one of the surfaces on the inside of a laminate. Most of these products also introduce an undesirable color shift. The invention provides a coating that can be used on glass to produce a laminated or monolithic glazing with a neutral gray solar control coating which also has anti-reflective properties and low emissivity.

Abstract: As car manufacturers have worked to improve the fuel efficiency of their vehicles, one of the areas where they have been able to make major improvements has been aerodynamics. As most of the drag is the result of the frontal area of the vehicle, the installation angle of the windshield has been getting smaller and smaller to facilitate the smooth displacement of air. One of the drawbacks of this approach is that the light reflected back to the driver by the windshield increases as the installation angle decreases and the incidence angle increases. At high incidence angles, the intensity of the reflection may become objectionable. The invention reduces reflection at high incident angles by means of an anti-reflective layer and a polarization layer.

Abstract: In addition to providing for vision and protection from the external elements, various other features, such as lighting, cameras, sensors and displays have been integrated within automotive glazings Some of these require a laminate with an offset between the edges of at least two of the glass layers to accommodate components and/or connectors. When the edge of one glass layer is offset, such that it is no longer substantially captured by the mounting means used to install the glazing in the vehicle, the mechanical strength is reduced. To compensate, the remaining layer must be made stronger, usually by increasing the thickness. Even when compensated, the security of the glazing remains compromised as the smaller glass layer is not directly connected to the vehicle. If the larger glass layer should break, the opening may be left unprotected. By providing an innovative integrated reinforcement in the offset portion, a secure, stronger and lighter laminate can be obtained.

Abstract: An automotive laminated glazing is provided, comprising an outer glass layer and an inner glass layer, said outer glass layer having a first surface and a second surface and said inner glass layer having a third surface and a fourth surface, wherein the inner glass layer has a thickness of not more than 1.0 mm and is chemically strengthened, and wherein the fourth surface features a low-e coating, obtainable by chemically strengthening a flat glass pane having a thickness of not more than 1.0 mm, then applying the low-e coating, and finally laminating the flat glass pane to a curved glass pane forming the outer layer, thereby cold bending said flat glass pane.
