Abstract

A composite pane includes first and second panes, a layer stack arranged therebetween including a first thermoplastic intermediate layer, a separating layer, an adhesive layer, a photopolymer layer having a holographic element, a carrier layer, and a second thermoplastic intermediate layer. The carrier layer contains polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, and/or cellulose triacetate and has a thickness of 20 μm to 100 μm. The carrier layer is arranged directly adjacent the photopolymer layer. The separating layer contains polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, and/or cellulose triacetate and has a thickness of 10 μm to 300 μm. The adhesive layer is arranged directly adjacent the photopolymer layer and the separating layer.

Claims (27)

1 . A composite pane, comprising a first pane, a second pane, a layer stack arranged therebetween, at least comprising following layers in order from the first pane to the second pane: a first thermoplastic intermediate layer, a separating layer, an adhesive layer, a photopolymer layer having at least one holographic element, a carrier layer, and a second thermoplastic intermediate layer, wherein

the carrier layer contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cellulose triacetate (TAC) and any combination thereof and has a thickness of 20 μm to 100 μm, wherein the carrier layer is arranged directly adjacent the photopolymer layer,

the separating layer contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cellulose triacetate (TAC) and any combination thereof and has a thickness of 10 μm to 300 μm, and

the adhesive layer is arranged directly adjacent the photopolymer layer and directly adjacent the separating layer, the adhesive layer being a chemically curing adhesive, wherein the adhesive layer is not a thermoplastic acting adhesive film that bonds by heat during lamination.

2 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier layer consists essentially of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or cellulose triacetate (TAC).

3 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier layer has a thickness of 40 μm to 90 μm.

4 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the separating layer consists essentially of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or cellulose triacetate (TAC).

5 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the separating layer has a thickness of 40 μm to 200 μm.

6 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer is an optically clear adhesive.

7 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer has a thickness of 20 μm to 200 μm.

8 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the photopolymer layer is between 5 μm and 70 μm.

9 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the layer stack arranged between the first pane and the second pane consists of the following layers: a first thermoplastic intermediate layer, a separating layer, an adhesive layer, a photopolymer layer having at least one holographic element, a carrier layer, and a second thermoplastic intermediate layer.

10 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first thermoplastic intermediate layer or the second thermoplastic intermediate layer, or both the first and second thermoplastic intermediate layers, contain polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polyurethane (PU), or copolymers or derivatives thereof.

11 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first thermoplastic intermediate layer or the second thermoplastic intermediate layer, or both the first and second thermoplastic intermediate layers, consist essentially of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), or polyurethane (PU).

12 . The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first pane or the second pane, or both the first and second panes, are made of glass.

13 . A projection assembly comprising a composite pane according to claim 1 and a projector that is aimed at the holographic element, wherein the projector is a laser projector.

14 . A method for producing a composite pane according to claim 1 , comprising:

a) providing a first pane, a first thermoplastic intermediate layer, a second thermoplastic intermediate layer, a separating layer, an adhesive layer, and a second pane,

b) providing a photopolymer layer having a holographic element, wherein the photopolymer layer is applied on a carrier layer,

c) forming a layer stack with the following sequence of layers and panes: first pane-first thermoplastic intermediate layer-separating layer-adhesive layer-photopolymer layer having a holographic element-carrier layer-second thermoplastic intermediate layer-second pane,

d) laminating the layer stack.

15 . A method comprising providing a composite pane according to claim 1 as interior glazing or exterior glazing in a vehicle or a building.

16 . The composite pane according to claim 2 , wherein the carrier layer consists of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

17 . The composite pane according to claim 3 , wherein the carrier layer has a thickness of 65 μm to 80 μm.

18 . The composite pane according to claim 4 , wherein the separating layer consists of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

19 . The composite pane according to claim 5 , wherein the separating layer has a thickness of 65 μm to 150 μm.

20 . The composite pane according to claim 7 , wherein the adhesive layer has a thickness of 60 μm to 100 μm.
