    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for UV-responsive laminates including a first layer having a photochromatic pigment arranged as a pigment texture, or one or more photochromatic indicators, or combinations thereof. The photochromatic pigment may be disposed on the laminate during laminate fabrication, prior to installation of the laminate, or in-situ, subsequent to installation. The photochromatic pigment is configured to change from a first state to a second state in response to exposure to an ultraviolet (UV) light source, the first state is invisible to a naked eye under ambient lighting and the second state is visible to the naked eye under ambient lighting. The UV-responsive laminates may further include additional layers, such as a second layer which may be a coupling layer configured to removably couple the laminate to a component. Additional layers, such as a protective layer or a backing layer, may be included in the UV-responsive laminate as well.

    Abstract: An electrochromic glass pane includes an assembly of a first part, including a first glass plate forming a first conductive substrate having a first conductive surface and a first non-conductive surface opposite the first conductive surface, and a negative semiconducting film on the first conductive surface, a second part, including a second glass plate forming a second conductive substrate having a second conductive surface and a second non-conductive surface opposite the second conductive surface, and a positive semiconducting film on the second conductive surface, the negative and positive semiconducting films being configured to function as negative and positive electrodes of the electrochromic glass pane, respectively, the first conductive surface facing the second conductive surface, an electrolyte being arranged between the first and second conductive surfaces, and the negative and positive semiconducting films being formed by jet printing first and second electrochromic inks onto the first and second conductive surfaces, respectively.
