Abstract
The invention consists of inserting electronic components into a glazing, in particular a laminated glazing, in order to create new features, in particular for automotive applications, windscreen, rear window or side windows. The inserted electronic components can be optoelectronic components such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) providing a lighting function for the glazing, e.g. interior lighting of an automobile. The electrical connections are provided by means of a conductive layer so that they are virtually invisible.
Claims23
Laminated glazing comprising:
- two glass sheets;
- one or more thermoplastic interlayers;
- light-emitting diodes (LEDs) inserted between the two glass sheets;
- and
- a connecting circuit formed from at least one conductive layer deposited on one face of the glass sheets or of the thermoplastic interlayers, the conductive layer being divided in at least 2 distinct areas, each area being bound to an electrode.
