Abstract
A laminated glazing includes a first glass layer, a second glass layer, an interlayer, and an optical coating layer. The interlayer is between the first glass layer and the second glass layer and has a first textured surface with a texture. The optical coating layer is between the interlayer and the second glass layer and includes an optical coating material. One or more of the texture or the optical coating material is different between an outer region and a central region of the laminated glazing.
Claims24
A laminated glazing comprising:
- a first glass layer;
- a second glass layer;
- an interlayer between the first glass layer and the second glass layer and having a first textured surface with a texture;
- and
- an optical coating layer between the interlayer and the second glass layer and having an optical coating material;
- wherein one or more of the texture or the optical coating material is different between a first region and a second region of the laminated glazing, the first region being within five inches of one side of the laminated glazing and the second region extending from the first region toward another side of the laminated glazing.
A laminated glazing comprising:
- a first glass layer;
- a second glass layer;
- an interlayer between the first glass layer and the second glass layer and having a first textured surface with a texture;
- and
- an optical coating layer between the interlayer and the second glass layer and having an optical coating material;
- wherein one or more of the texture or the optical coating material is different between an outer region and a central region of the laminated glazing;
- wherein the optical coating material has a concentration that is greater in the outer region than in the central region;
- and
- wherein the optical coating layer includes multiple sublayers of the optical coating material, the optical coating layer having more of the sublayers in the outer region than the central region.
A laminated glazing comprising:
- a first transparent layer;
- a second transparent layer;
- an interlayer between the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer and having a texture that provides diffuse reflectance of the laminated glazing;
- and
- an optical coating layer that restricts optical transmittance of the laminated glazing;
- wherein one or more of the diffuse reflectance or the optical transmittance varies in a gradual manner between locations of the laminated glazing.
