- the thickness of enamel is between 10 ⁇ and 50 ⁇ , for example of the order of 15 ⁇ .
- the enamel is preferably white. Its brightness L * is preferably at least 50.
- the illuminating zone corresponds to the enamel layer and the glass surface facing the enamel, whereas the dark zone corresponds to the surfaces adjacent to the enamel. enamel, surfaces belonging to the face of the glass on which the enamel is deposited.
- the illuminating zone may cover a part of the surface, thus leaving at least a first dark zone, that is to say non-illuminating, dark zone which is chosen from a transparent zone (clear of glass ...) or an area decorative by an opaque and / or colored coating or a mirror area for example formed by a silver coating covered with an oxidation protection paint, silvering deposited on the outer face.

- FIG. 4c shows two enamel zones 4 corresponding to illuminating light bands, for example 40 mm wide, while the rest of the surface (dark area) is transparent.
- FIG. 4d illustrates an application of illuminating door (with standard door dimensions, 2460 mm by 960 mm), the enamel 4 being distributed in several frames inscribed in each other, each frame having a different width. The pattern provides an appearance of the type molding.
- Figures 5a to 5e show non-limiting examples of enamel patterns 4 made on glass sheets of dimensions 1200 mm x 300 mm.
- the enamel patterns 4 (illuminating areas) correspond to the black patterns in Figs. 5a to 5e.
- the zones that are not covered with enamel correspond to the black-colored patterns
- the white-colored zones correspond to the enamel 4.
- the patterns have curved or straight lines, are of width and length variables. They can present all geometric shapes.
- Each glass sheet may comprise a unitary pattern that is identically reproduced a plurality of times to cover the glass surface.
- the spacing between the enamel patterns is adapted to the size of the glass sheet. The larger the glass sheet, the more it is advisable not to bring the patterns too close together so that the light propagates with respect to the whole of the surface and successively reaches each of the patterns.
- the enamel may extend partially on the glass continuously and solidly in at least one solid surface, for example of width less than 200 mm, even 100 mm and even more preferably less than or equal to 50 mm.
- the enamel layer may be discontinuous extending over all or part of the glass surface and formed of a set of flat areas forming narrow and for example elongated patterns. Each pattern is in a surface whose smaller dimension is less than 200 mm, even 100 mm and even more preferably less than or equal to 50 mm.
- the patterns are for example geometric: rectilinear or curved strip, concentric circles, L-shaped shapes, etc.
- the patterns are identical or distinct, parallel to each other or not, with a distance between them identical or not.
- the patterns may be identical by being reproduced over the entire glass surface at an equidistant spacing and as illustrated in Figures 5a and 5b.
- the pattern of FIG. 5a is in a surface whose width 1 is 29 mm and that of FIG. 5b has a width 2 of
- the separation distance between two adjacent patterns in the longitudinal direction of the substrate is equal to 38 mm (d1 of Figure 5a) or respectively 72.5 mm (d2 of Figure 5b).
- FIG. 5c shows another example of a pattern formed of arcs of circles spaced apart and concentric from the edges of the substrate towards the center. This pattern can extend over the entire glass surface.
- the circular arcs have variable widths (smaller dimension) and their separation distance is also variable.
- FIGS. 5d and 5f also illustrate other forms of patterns respectively in rectangles of variable dimensions, in streaks or squares separated by unglazed crosses.
- the enamel is able to be deposited on a glass substrate.
- Its composition is for example as follows: between 20 and 50% of SiO 2 , preferably of the order of 45%,
- not more than 10% of ZnO preferably of the order of 5%, not more than 10% of Al 2 0 3 , preferably of the order of 3%, - up to 20% of one or more oxides, such as 5 to 20% of Na 2 0, at most 5% of K 2 0 and at most 5% of CAO.
- enamel compositions By way of example of enamel compositions, mention may be made of enamel under the name Ferro 194002 marketed by FERRO and which has the following composition:
- Enamel is associated with glass in the usual manner by being deposited by screen printing and / or inkjet, and undergoing a cooking step.
- the cooking conditions are as follows:
- oven temperature between 640 and 710 ° C, preferably of the order of 680 ° C,
- glass substrate temperature between 630 and 700 ° C., preferably of the order of 660 ° C.
- the proportions of glass frit (SiO 2 ) and refractory pigments (TiO 2 or ZnO) will advantageously be combined to improve the fusibility of the enamel and lead to a sufficiently dense material (or low porosity). This density allows the enamel in particular to fulfill its optimal function of diffusing light to the outside.
- Comparative Example 1 comprises 30% glass frit and 70% alumina.
- Comparative Example 2 comprises 60% glass frit and 40% alumina.
- the viscosity of the layer is adapted to be deposited by screen printing.
- the glass substrates used in the tests are 3 mm thick Saint-Gobain Glass Diamond glass.
- Table I illustrates the comparative tests by giving for a monolithic glass the measurement of the average luminance in cd / m 2 at 0 ° (normal to the glass) for the light extracted on the one hand from the side of the face 20 of the glass, and secondly on the side of the face 21 of the glass provided with the enamel.
- Table II illustrates the comparative tests by giving, for a laminated glass, the measurement of the maximum luminance in cd / m 2 for the light extracted on the outside of each side of the laminated device, on the one hand for the glass provided with enamel, and secondly for the other glass.
- the lighting resulting from the device of the invention is thus particularly bright, while being homogeneous and very little dazzling.
- the device of the invention has a lambertian type diffusion, that is to say that whatever the angle of observation of the illuminating surface, the luminance is substantially constant.
- Figure 6 illustrates the maximum luminance of each device at the viewing angle between 0 and 60 °. It can be seen that the luminance of the device of the invention is substantially constant, at around 6000 cd / m 2 , whereas it increases for the comparative examples as a function of the size of the observation angle.
- the device of the example of the invention above advantageously has a brightness 20 times higher than that of the comparative examples and a higher optical density, providing greater resistance to cleaning and scratching.
- Table III summarizes several values as to brightness, optical density, compatibility with cleaning products, "scratch" test, color measurement (L * , a * , b * ), for the example of the invention and Comparative Example 1
- the cleaning compatibility test makes it possible to assess the chemical resistance of enamel to three families of household products: soap (for example a soap based on potassium oleate for example), alcohol (for example ethanol) and alcohol. ammonia (eg Vigor product). For example, the samples are immersed for at least 30 min or at least 1 hour.
- a color measurement (L * , a * , b * ) of the glass on the one side at the side provided with the enamel and on the other hand on the opposite side is performed before and after the test.
- the color of the enamel is measured by a spectrocolorimeter, for example the Minolta CM600D
- the "scratch” test or test of resistance to scratching is carried out using a tip that moves on the enamel by applying an identical force for each of the tests.
- the sclerometer pencil sold by Elcometer is used with a 0.75mm diameter tungsten carbide tip.
- optical density is measured using the Tobias TQ densitometer.
- Gloss is measured with Byk-Gardner MICRO-TRI-GLOSS 4430 glossmeter.
