Abstract
A laminated vehicle windshield containing internal luminous information, includes a first glazing, a lamination interlayer, a second glazing and peripheral exterior and interior masking layers. A first curved organic-light-emitting-diode (OLED) device is between the second and third main faces windshield, the first OLED device forming a first sign.
Claims21
A laminated vehicle windshield including one or more internal luminous signs, comprising:
- a first curved glazing with a first main face, which first main face is intended to be on an exterior side of the vehicle, and an opposite second main face;
- a second curved glazing with a third main face and an opposite fourth main face, which fourth main face is intended to be on an interior side of the vehicle, at least one of the first and second curved glazings being made of mineral glass,
- said first and second curved glazings being connected together via the second and third faces by a lamination interlayer made of a thermoformable polymeric material, said lamination interlayer including a first bonding main face toward a side of the second main face and a second bonding main face toward a side of the third main face;
- a first peripheral layer forming an interior masking layer made of opaque material, which is between the second bonding face and the third main face or that is on the fourth main face;
- a second peripheral layer forming an exterior masking layer made of opaque material, between the first bonding face and the second main face, facing the interior masking layer;
- and
- a first radiation source for first signs,
- wherein the first radiation source includes a first curved organic-light-emitting-diode (OLED) device between the second and third main faces configured to emit a first emission in the visible spectrum,
- wherein the first OLED device, which is configured to emit a first emission, forms a first luminous sign, and
- wherein when the first OLED device is in a zone of the interior masking layer, the interior masking layer includes a first passing aperture to let the first luminous sign be seen.
