Abstract

A laminated glass includes a first glass plate; a second glass plate; and an intermediate film positioned between the first glass plate and the second glass plate, and configured to be bonded to the first glass plate and the second glass plate. The laminated glass further includes an HUD (head-up display) display area used for a head-up display. In a predetermined area of at least a part of the HUD display area, a wedge angle decreases, in accordance with a direction front a lower edge of the predetermined area to an upper edge of the predetermined area, within a range of greater than or equal to 0.06 mrad and less than or equal to 1.0 mrad per 100 mm.

Claims (22)

1. A front windshield, comprising:

a laminated glass comprising a first glass plate, a second glass plate, and an intermediate film positioned between the first glass plate and the second glass plate and bonding the first glass plate and the second glass plate,

wherein the laminated glass has an HUD display area configured to be used by a head-up display and including an area formed such that a wedge angle of the laminated glass decreases in a direction from a lower edge of the area to an upper edge of the area at a rate in a range of from 0.1 mrad to 1.0 mrad per 100 mm and that a tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−2.03 min.

2. The front windshield according to claim 1 , wherein the wedge angle of the laminated glass in the area decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at a rate in a range of from 0.2 mrad to 0.9 mrad per 100 mm and that a tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−1.80 min.

3. The front windshield according to claim 1 , wherein the wedge angle of the laminated glass in the area decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at a rate in a range of from 0.3 mrad to 0.8 mrad per 100 mm and that a tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−1.40 min.

4. The front windshield according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate has a thickness that changes from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area such that the wedge angle of the laminated glass decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at the rate in the range of from 0.1 mrad to 1.0 mrad per 100 mm and that the tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−2.03 min.

5. The front windshield according to claim 1 , wherein the area occupies 30% or more of the HUD display area divided in a vertical direction.

6. The front windshield according to claim 4 , wherein the wedge angle of the laminated glass in the area decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at a rate in a range of from 0.2 mrad to 0.9 mrad per 100 mm and that a tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−1.80 min.

7. The front windshield according to claim 4 , wherein the wedge angle of the laminated glass in the area decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at a rate in a range of from 0.3 mrad to 0.8 mrad per 100 mm and that a tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−1.40 min.

8. The front windshield according to claim 1 , wherein the area occupies 30% or more of the HUD display area divided in a vertical direction.

9. The front windshield according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate film has a constant thickness in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area.

10. The front windshield according to claim 4 , wherein the intermediate film has a constant thickness in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area.

11. The front windshield according to claim 1 , wherein one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate has a thickness that changes from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area such that the wedge angle of the laminated glass decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at the rate in the range of from 0.1 mrad to 1.0 mrad per 100 mm and that the tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−2.03 min.

12. The front windshield according to claim 11 , wherein the wedge angle of the laminated glass in the area decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at a rate in a range of from 0.2 mrad to 0.9 mrad per 100 mm and that a tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−1.80 min.

13. The front windshield according to claim 11 , wherein the wedge angle of the laminated glass in the area decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at a rate in a range of from 0.3 mrad to 0.8 mrad per 100 mm and that a tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−1.40 min.

14. The front windshield according to claim 11 , wherein the area occupies 30% or more of the HUD display area divided in a vertical direction.

15. The front windshield according to claim 11 , wherein the intermediate film has a constant thickness in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area.

16. The front windshield according to claim 1 , wherein the first glass plate and the second glass plate have thicknesses that change from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area such that the wedge angle of the laminated glass decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at the rate in the range of from 0.1 mrad to 1.0 mrad per 100 mm and that the tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−2.03 min.

17. The front windshield according to claim 16 , wherein the wedge angle of the laminated glass in the area decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at a rate in a range of from 0.2 mrad to 0.9 mrad per 100 mm and that a tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−1.80 min.

18. The front windshield according to claim 16 , wherein the wedge angle of the laminated glass in the area decreases in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area at a rate in a range of from 0.3 mrad to 0.8 mrad per 100 mm and that a tolerance level of a reflected double image is less than +/−1.40 min.

19. The front windshield according to claim 16 , wherein the area occupies 30% or more of the HUD display area divided in a vertical direction.

20. The front windshield according to claim 16 , wherein the intermediate film has a constant thickness in the direction from the lower edge of the area to the upper edge of the area.
