Abstract

A laminated glass includes a first glass plate; a second glass plate with a plate thickness which is less than a plate thickness of the first glass plate; and an intermediate film. The first glass plate and the second glass plate are laminated via the intermediate film. An external dimension of the second glass plate is less than an external dimension of the first glass plate. At least a part of an outer peripheral edge of the second glass plate is located on an inner periphery side with respect to an outer peripheral edge of the first glass plate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A laminated glass comprising:
a first glass plate;
a second glass plate with a plate thickness which is less than a plate thickness of the first glass plate; and
an intermediate film, the first glass plate and the second glass plate being laminated via the intermediate film,
wherein an external dimension of the second glass plate is less than an external dimension of the first glass plate, and
at least a part of an outer peripheral edge of the second glass plate is located on an inner periphery side with respect to an outer peripheral edge of the first glass plate,
the first glass plate and the second glass plate have curved shapes,
the first glass plate includes a central region and an outer peripheral region having a curved shape with a smaller curvature radius than the central region,
a convex surface of the second glass plate is laminated on a concave surface of the first glass plate, in at least a part of the central region, via the intermediate film,
a value of an actual area of the outer peripheral region divided by an actual area of the central region is 0.1 or more but 0.5 or less, and
a value of an area of the outer peripheral region in a projection view divided by an area of the central region in the projection view is 0.05 or more but 0.3 or less.

2. The laminated glass according to claim 1 ,
wherein a part of the outer peripheral edge of the second glass plate is flush with the outer peripheral edge of the first glass plate.

3. The laminated glass according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plate thickness of the first glass plate is 1.5 mm or more but 4.0 mm or less, and the plate thickness of the second glass plate is 0.2 mm or more but 1.0 mm or less.

4. The laminated glass according to claim 1 ,
wherein a ratio between the plate thickness of the second glass plate and the plate thickness of the first glass plate is 0.1 or more but 0.5 or less.

5. The laminated glass according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second glass plate is a chemically strengthened glass plate.

6. The laminated glass according to claim 1 ,
wherein a value of an actual area of the second glass plate divided by an actual area of the first glass plate is 0.45 or more but 0.95 or less.

7. The laminated glass according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a third glass plate laminated on the concave surface of the first glass plate in the outer peripheral region via the intermediate film so as to be adjacent to the second glass plate.

8. The laminated glass according to claim 7 ,
wherein a sealing material is arranged between the second glass plate and the third glass plate.

9. A vehicle window comprising the laminated glass according to claim 7 ,
wherein an external shape of the first glass plate has an approximately trapezoidal shape,
an upper side is a shorter one of two sides of the approximately trapezoidal shape parallel to each other,
a central part of the upper side is an upper side outer peripheral region that is at least a part of the outer peripheral region, and
a first display member is laminated on the upper side outer peripheral region via the third glass plate.

10. A vehicle window comprising the laminated glass according to claim 7 ,
wherein an external shape of the first glass plate has an approximately trapezoidal shape,
an upper side is a shorter one of two sides of the approximately trapezoidal shape parallel to each other,
at least a part of a lateral side of the approximately trapezoidal shape is a lateral side outer peripheral region that is at least a part of the outer peripheral region, and
a second display member is laminated on the lateral side outer peripheral region via the third glass plate.

11. A vehicle window comprising the laminated glass according to claim 1 ,
wherein an external shape of the first glass plate has an approximately trapezoidal shape, and
an upper side is a shorter one of two sides of the approximately trapezoidal shape parallel to each other.

12. A vehicle window comprising the laminated glass according to claim 1 ,
wherein an external shape of the first glass plate has an approximately trapezoidal shape,
an upper side is a shorter one of two sides of the approximately trapezoidal shape parallel to each other,
a central part of the upper side comprises an upper side outer peripheral region that is at least a part of the outer peripheral region, and
a first display member is laminated on the upper side outer peripheral region.

13. The vehicle window according to claim 12 ,
wherein an external shape of the second glass plate has an approximately trapezoidal shape,
an upper side is a shorter one of two sides of the approximately trapezoidal shape parallel to each other, and a lower side is a longer one of the two sides,
the upper side and the lower side of the second glass plate are arranged approximately along the upper side and a lower side of the first glass plate, respectively, and
the outer peripheral region of the first glass plate comprises a notch portion in at least one of a central portion of the upper side of the second glass plate and a central portion of the lower side of the second glass plate.

14. A vehicle window comprising the laminated glass according to claim 1 ,
wherein an external shape of the first glass plate has an approximately trapezoidal shape,
an upper side is a shorter one of two sides of the approximately trapezoidal shape parallel to each other,
at least a part of a lateral side of the approximately trapezoidal shape is a lateral side outer peripheral region that is at least a part of the outer peripheral region, and
a second display member is laminated on the lateral side outer peripheral region.

15. The laminated glass of claim 1 , wherein a curvature radius R 2 around a central line in a vertical direction of the first glass plate is 10000 mm or more, and a curvature radius R 1 around a central line in a horizontal direction is 5000 mm or more.

16. The laminated glass of claim 1 , wherein both a curvature radius R 2 around a central line in a vertical direction of the first glass plate and a curvature radius R 1 around a central line in a horizontal direction are 10000 mm or more.

17. The laminated glass of claim 1 , wherein a curvature radius R 2 around a central line in a vertical direction of the first glass plate is 15000 mm or more, and a curvature radius R 1 around a central line in a horizontal direction is 5000 mm or more.
