Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007077099A1] A vehicular glazing comprising two panes of glazing material spaced apart from one another, a functional layer extending between said panes, an optical coupler mounted with respect to the glazing and arranged to couple light into the glazing from an external light source, and an optical decoupling means (at least one light scattering centre) incorporated into the glazing and arranged to decouple light from within the glazing into the environment surrounding the glazing. The panes of glazing material may be glass panes, and the light scattering centre may be a micro-crack in the glass. The functional layer may provide a solar control function.
