First Claim
Patent Images
1. A laminated glazing comprising a first substrate having a first length, a first width, and a first peripheral edge;
- a second substrate having a second length, a second width, and a second peripheral edge;
an active system disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a peripheral groove between the first peripheral edge and the second peripheral edge; and
at least two peripheral seals disposed in the peripheral groove, wherein each of the at least two peripheral seals runs contiguously from the first substrate to the second substrate, and wherein each of the at least two peripheral seals comprises a hot-melt polymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetates, polyisobutylenes, and polyamides or a mastic selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polysulfides, or silicons, wherein the active system is electronically controllable, has variable energy/optical properties, and is selected from the group consisting of a solid-state electrochromic system, an optical valve system, a liquid crystal system, a viologen-based system, a photovoltaic system, and an electroluminescent system.
