Laminated glass for vehicle
View Patent ↗The present invention provides, in a HUD device employing a high-functional windshield such as a sound-insulation glass having a multi-layer interlayer, a windshield for a vehicle which does not produce double images and has excellent visibility without deteriorating functionality of the windshield. In a laminated glass having a multi-layer interlayer having a wedge-shaped thickness profile sandwiched by glass sheets, the multi-layer interlayer has layers having different hardness, the thickness of first resin layers having high hardness is at least 0.3 mm in a region within 400 nm from a lower side, which prevents the generation of optical distortion of the laminated glass and efficiently prevents double display images.
1. A laminated glass for a vehicle, comprising:
two curved glass sheets opposing each other; and
an interlayer interposed between the glass sheets with the glass sheets and the interlayer being laminated together,
wherein the interlayer is a multilayer film comprising at least one first resin layer and at least one second resin layer having lower hardness than that of the at least one first resin layer,
wherein the interlayer has a wedge-shaped thickness profile in which an upper side of the interlayer, when the laminated glass is in a position attached to a vehicle, is thicker than a lower side of the interlayer,
wherein a thickness of the at least one first resin layer is at least 0.3 mm in an area to be used for a heads up display (HUD) within 400 mm from an edge of the lower side of the interlayer such that embossing on a surface of the at least one first resin layer is eliminated from the area to be used for a HUD.
2. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the interlayer comprises three layers including the at least one second resin layer interposed between two of the first resin layers.
3. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein at least one layer of the first resin layers has a wedge-shaped thickness profile with a thickness at the upper side of the layer being thicker than a thickness at the lower side of the layer.
4. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein at least one layer of the second resin layers has a wedge-shaped thickness profile with a thickness at the upper side of the layer being thicker than a thickness at the lower side of the layer.
5. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the thickness of the first resin layer at the upper side is at least 0.5 mm.
6. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 3 , further comprising a shade functional area having a strip shape along the upper side.
7. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the shade functional area is formed in at least one layer of the first resin layers which has the wedge-shaped thickness profile.
8. A laminated glass for a vehicle, comprising:
two curved glass sheets opposing each other;
an interlayer made of a multi-layer organic resin and interposed between the glass sheets with the glass sheets and the interlayer being laminated together,
wherein the interlayer is a multilayer film comprising at least one first resin layer and at least one second resin layer having lower hardness than that of the at least one first resin layer,
wherein the interlayer has a wedge-shaped thickness profile in which an upper side of the interlayer, when the laminated glass is in a position attached to a vehicle, is thicker than a lower side of the interlayer, and
wherein a thickness of the at least first resin layer is at least 0.3 mm in an area to be used for a HUD within 400 mm from an edge of the lower side of the interlayer such that embossing on a surface of the at least one first resin layer is eliminated from the area to be used for a HUD; and
IR cutoff fine particles dispersed in at least one of the first and second resin layers having the wedge-shaped thickness profile.
9. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the interlayer comprises three layers including the at least one second resin layer interposed between two of the first resin layers.
10. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein at least one layer of the first resin layers has a wedge-shaped thickness profile with a thickness at the upper side of the layer being thicker than a thickness at the lower side of the layer.
11. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein at least one layer of the second resin layers has a wedge-shaped thickness profile with a thickness at the upper side of the layer being thicker than a thickness at the lower side of the layer.
12. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the thickness of the first resin layer at the upper side is at least 0.5 mm.
13. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to any one of claims 10 , 11 or 12 , further comprising a shade functional area having a strip shape along the upper side.
14. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 13 , wherein the shade functional area is formed in at least one layer of the first resin layers which has the wedge-shaped thickness profile.
15. The laminated glass for a vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the IR cutoff fine particles are dispersed in a layer having a shade functional area.
16. A head-up display device comprising:
a light source for emitting light beam of display information;
a glass sheet disposed so as to be opposed to the light source; and
a display area formed on the glass sheet and configured to display the display information emitted from the light source, wherein the glass sheet is a laminated glass sheet comprising:
two curved glass sheets opposing each other; and
an interlayer interposed between the glass sheets and laminated together, wherein:
the laminated glass has a wedge-shaped thickness profile in which an upper side of the laminated glass, when the laminated glass is attached to a vehicle, is thicker than a lower side of the laminated glass, and
the interlayer comprises at least a first resin layer and a second resin layer having a hardness lower than that of the first resin layer, and a thickness of the first resin layer in the display area is at least 0.3 mm such that embossing on a surface of the first resin layer is eliminated from the display area.
17. The head-up display device according to claim 16 , further comprising IR cutoff fine particles dispersed in at least one of the first and second resin layers which has the wedge-shaped thickness profile.
18. The head-up display device according to claim 16 or 17 , further comprising a shade functional area having a strip shape along the upper side.
19. The head-up display device according to claim 18 , wherein the shade functional area is formed in the layer which has the wedge-shaped thickness profile.
