Luminous vehicle glazing and manufacture thereof

A luminous vehicle glazing, comprising:

• a first sheet comprising a mineral or an organic glass comprising a first main face, a second main face, and an injection edge;
• a peripheral light source comprising an emitting face selected from the group consisting of an optical fiber and light emitting diodes each comprising a semiconductor chip on a support section of the diodes, wherein the emitting face faces the injection edge or a side of the second main face, which is an injection side for propagation of an injected visible and/or ultraviolet (UV) light in a thickness of the first sheet, the first sheet then guiding the injected light;
• a luminous zone formed by a surface diffusion extractor of the first and/or second main face, which extracts the guided light via the first and/or the second main face or a volume diffusion extractor in the first sheet, and/or a luminophore on the first and/or second main face, which converts UV light to visible light via the first and/or the second main face;
• an peripheral functional element, bonded to the first sheet, which is fluid-tight and impermeable to liquid water or water vapor, extending on the injection edge or the injection side, wherein the peripheral functional element is an overmolding or a preassembled element, and wherein the peripheral functional element comprises a cavity for placing the peripheral light source, which allows the injection of the injected light into the injection side or the injection edge;
• a fluid-tight covering element, which covers the cavity and the peripheral light source, wherein the covering element is impermeable to liquid water or water vapor, and is selected from the group consisting of:
• i) a cap joined by a fastening element to the peripheral functional element, and/or to a connecting part placed at least partly in the cavity and connected to the peripheral functional element and/or connected to the first sheet, and/or to the first sheet, wherein the cap comprises an inner face, which oriented toward the cavity, the cap being combined with an interfacial sealing element which is impermeable to liquid water or water vapor, and which is arranged a) between the cap and the peripheral functional element and/or an underlying connecting part and/or the second face, and/or b) integrated with the cap and in contact with the peripheral functional element, and/or c) integrated with the peripheral functional element and in contact with the cap;
• and
• ii) a fluid-tight sealing mastic covering the peripheral light source and sealing the peripheral functional element.
