Abstract

A glass assembly includes a first glass body and a second glass body attached to each other through an intermediate layer, the first glass body and/or the second glass body being provided with an opening or openings suitable for accommodating electronic device, and the electronic device at least including a light-emitting component. A sealing component is arranged between the intermediate layer and the opening to isolate the intermediate layer from the outside of the glass assembly, wherein at least a surface of the sealing component facing the opening is non-reflective, and the refractive index of the sealing component is smaller than that of the intermediate layer.

Claims (11)

1. A glass assembly comprising a first glass body and a second glass body attached to each other through an intermediate layer, the first glass body and/or the second glass body being provided with an opening or openings configured to accommodate electronic device, and the electronic device at least comprising a light-emitting component;

wherein a sealing component is arranged between the intermediate layer and the opening to isolate the intermediate layer from the outside of the glass assembly, and wherein at least a surface of the sealing component facing the opening is non-reflective, and a refractive index of the sealing component is smaller than that of the intermediate layer.

2. The glass assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing component is a transparent component.

3. The glass assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the refractive index of the sealing component is selected from the range of 1.34-1.47.

4. The glass assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional dimension of the sealing component is approximately equal to a cross-sectional dimension of the opening.

5. The glass assembly according to claim 4 , wherein an edge of the sealing component exceeds an edge of the opening by a distance of 5-10 mm.

6. The glass assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing component is a film layer made of acrylate polymer or fluoropolymer.

7. The glass assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing component is made of fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer or ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer.

8. The glass assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing component is a single-layer film or formed by laminating multiple layers of films.

9. A window assembly comprising a glass assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the window assembly comprises door, window, curtain wall, vehicle window glass, airplane glass or ship glass.

10. The window assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the window assembly is a vehicle window glass comprising front windshield, rear windshield, skylight glass, vehicle door glass or corner window glass, wherein the first glass body faces the outside of the vehicle and the second glass body faces the inside of the vehicle, and the second glass body is provided with an opening suitable for accommodating electronic device at least comprising a light-emitting component.
