Abstract

To improve the visibility of an image displayed on a display from the inside of a vehicle, in a vehicle window glass having the display. The vehicle window glass has a glass member and a display mounted on said glass member, wherein the visible light transmittance T [%] of said vehicle window glass at the portion including said display and the luminance L [cd/m 2 ] of the display satisfy T≤0.1×L.

Claims (23)

1 . A vehicle window glass having a glass member and a display mounted on the glass member, wherein the visible light transmittance T [%] of the vehicle window glass at the portion including the display and the luminance L [cd/m 2 ] of the display satisfy the formula T≤0.1×L,

wherein the glass member comprises a glass plate located on a vehicle exterior side of the glass member, a glass plate located on a vehicle interior side of the glass member, and an interlayer film which bonds the glass plate located on the vehicle exterior side and the glass plate located on the vehicle interior side, and wherein the display is encapsulated in the interlayer film.

2 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , which satisfies the formula T≤0.01×L.

3 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , which satisfies the formula T≤0.002×L.

4 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the visible light transmittance T is at least 0.1 [%].

5 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein a component located on the vehicle exterior side of the display has a visible light transmittance of at most 50%.

6 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein a component located on the vehicle interior side of the display has a visible light transmittance of at least 15%.

7 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein a component located on the vehicle interior side of the display has a visible light transmittance of at most 90%.

8 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein a component located on the vehicle exterior side of the display has a visible light diffuse transmittance/visible light transmittance of at least 0.4%.

9 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein vehicle interior side of the display has a visible light transmittance larger than a visible light transmittance of a component located on the vehicle exterior side of the display.

10 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein a component located on the vehicle interior side of the display has a visible light diffuse transmittance/visible light transmittance smaller than a visible light diffuse transmittance/visible light transmittance of a component located on the vehicle exterior side of the display.

11 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein a component located on the vehicle exterior side of the display has a visible light reflectance of at most 6%.

12 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , a component located on the vehicle exterior side of the display has a visible light diffuse reflectance of at most 6%.

13 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein a component located on the vehicle interior side of the display has a visible light diffuse reflectance of at most 6%.

14 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the display is attached to a predetermined surface of the glass member via an adhesive layer.

15 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 14 , wherein the glass member is single plate glass, laminated glass or double glazing glass.

16 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the display is a display with a display element.

17 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the display is a transparent screen film.

18 . The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , further comprising a light controlling film on the vehicle exterior side or the vehicle interior side of the display.

19 . A vehicle window glass system comprising:

the vehicle window glass according to claim 17 ; and

a projection device located on the vehicle interior side of the vehicle window glass.

20 . A vehicle window glass system comprising the vehicle window glass according to claim 18 and a light intensity sensor to acquire background luminance, wherein a visible light transmittance of a light controlling element in the light controlling film is controlled based on a background luminance acquired by the light intensity sensor.
