Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A laminated pane includes first and second panes, a layer stack arranged therebetween including a first thermoplastic intermediate layer, a separating layer, a photopolymer layer with at least one holographic element, a carrier layer, and a second thermoplastic intermediate layer, wherein the photopolymer layer has a thickness of 5 μm to 50 μm, the carrier layer contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and/or cellulose triacetate (TAC) and has a thickness of 20 μm to 100 μm, wherein the carrier layer is arranged directly adjacent the photopolymer layer, and the separating layer contains polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and/or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and has a thickness of 10 μm to 300 μm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A laminated pane, comprising a first pane, a second pane, a layer stack arranged therebetween, consisting of the following layers in order from the first pane to the second pane: a first thermoplastic intermediate layer, a separating layer, a photopolymer layer with at least one holographic element, a carrier layer, and a second thermoplastic intermediate layer, wherein the photopolymer layer has a thickness of 5 μm to 50 μm, the carrier layer contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and/or cellulose triacetate (TAC) and has a thickness of 20 μm to 100 μm, wherein the carrier layer is arranged directly adjacent the photopolymer layer, the separating layer contains polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and/or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and has a thickness of 10 μm to 300 μm. 2 . The laminated pane according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the photopolymer layer is between 8 μm and 30 μm. 3 . The laminated pane according to claim 2 , wherein the thickness of the photopolymer layer is between 10 μm and 20 μm. 4 . The laminated pane according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier layer consists essentially of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or cellulose triacetate (TAC). 5 . The laminated pane according to claim 4 , wherein the carrier layer consists essentially of polyamide (PA). 6 . The laminated pane according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier layer has a thickness of 40 μm to 90 μm. 7 . The laminated pane according to claim 6 , wherein the carrier layer has a thickness of 65 μm to 80 μm. 8 . The laminated pane according to claim 1 , wherein the separating layer consists essentially of polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). 9 . The laminated pane according to claim 8 , wherein the separating layer consists of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). 10 . The laminated pane according to claim 1 , wherein the separating layer has a thickness of 40 μm to 200 μm. 11 . The laminated pane according to claim 10 , wherein the separating layer has a thickness of 65 μm to 150 μm. 12 . Laminated pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first thermoplastic intermediate layer and/or the second thermoplastic intermediate layer contain or consist essentially of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polyurethane (PU), or copolymers or derivatives thereof. 13 . The laminated pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first pane and/or the second pane are made of glass. 14 . The laminated pane according to claim 13 , wherein the first pane and/or the second pane are made of soda lime glass. 15 . A projection assembly comprising a laminated pane according to claim 1 and a projector that is aimed at the holographic element, wherein the projector is a laser projector. 16 . A method for producing a laminated pane according to claim 1 , comprising: a) providing a first pane, a first thermoplastic intermediate layer, a second thermoplastic intermediate layer, a separating layer, and a second pane, b) providing a photopolymer layer having a holographic optical element, wherein the photopolymer layer is applied on a carrier layer, c) forming a layer stack is formed with the following sequence of layers and panes: first pane—first thermoplastic intermediate layer—separating layer—a photopolymer layer having a holographic element—carrier layer—second thermoplastic intermediate layer—second pane, d) laminating the layer stack. 17 . A method comprising providing a laminated pane according to claim 1 as interior glazing or exterior glazing in a vehicle or a building. 18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein the laminated pane is a vehicle pane in vehicle of locomotion for travel on land, in the air, or on water. 19 . The method according to claim 18 , wherein the laminated pane is a windshield that serves as a projection surface.
