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: The use of camera based automotive safety systems is growing at a rapid rate. As the industry moves towards full autonomous capability, the resolution and number of cameras required is increasing. At the same time windshields, behind which many of the cameras are mounted, are becoming larger and more complex. Achieving acceptable optical quality can be challenging due to continually evolving optical requirements generated by the rapid development of camera systems and processing algorithms as well as variations in the index of refraction, curvature, bend, thickness, and other variables. The laminate of the disclosure has a portion of the inner glass layer removed in the camera field of view and replaced with a high optical quality insert bonded to the glass. This allows for much greater optical quality, while retaining durability and functionality of a standard laminate.

Abstract: The invention provides for a coating which when used in conjunction with a p-polarization projector (26) and a windshield mounted such that the angle between projector is at or near the Brewster angle, a sharp image is produced with no ghost image. Further, the coating is suitable for use over the entire area of the windshield, has excellent solar control properties and has a low sheet resistance allowing it to be electrically defrosted at common automotive voltages.
