Abstract
An illuminable glazing for a motor vehicle, includes a laminated glazing that is partially tinted with a minimum refractive index n2 between first and second glass sheets, such that n2>n0, n0 being the index of the second glass sheet, a light source coupled to the second glass sheet, a device for extracting light, and on the side of the fourth main face, an optical insulating layer with a refractive index n1<n2 having an infrared-reflecting coating thereon.
Claims20
A laminated glazing for a vehicle, comprising:
- a first transparent sheet, made of mineral glass, with a first main outer face and a second main inner face,
- a second transparent sheet, made of mineral or organic glass, with a third main face and a fourth main face called face, which second transparent sheet has a refractive index n0 in the visible range,
- between the second main inner face and the third main face, one or more dielectric, transparent intermediate layers with given refractive indices in the visible range, comprising a polymer lamination interlayer,
- the first transparent sheet being tinted and/or a first layer of the one or more dielectric transparent intermediate layers being tinted,
- wherein when several intermediate layers are tinted, the first tinted layer is the tinted layer closest to the third main face,
- n2 being the lowest refractive index among the refractive indices of the one or more dielectric transparent intermediate layers between the third main face and up to and including the first tinted layer, or up to the second main face in the absence of a tinted intermediate layer, with n2<n0,
- means for extracting guided light in the second transparent sheet,
- a transparent, infrared-reflecting coating bonded to the fourth main face, including an electrically conductive functional layer,
- between the fourth main face and the electrically conductive functional layer, a transparent, dielectric, optical insulating layer with refractive index n1 in the visible range with n1<n2 and thickness E1 of at least 100 nm and submillimeter.
