• FIG. 6 represents an exploded partial view in longitudinal section of a laminated windshield 600 comprising one or more internal luminous signs according to the present invention (for simplification the elements are not drawn curved, curved).
• the laminated windshield 600 differs from the windshield 500 by the present electrical conductors as an electroconductive layer 8 (metal, TCO etc.) with areas or lines of electrical insulation.
• an electroconductive layer 8 metal, TCO etc.
• OLEDS 2a and 2b are glued by a double-sided adhesive 7 'on the rear face 71 of the front protective element.
• This adhesive is perforated for taking electrical contacts between the OLED 2 and the layer 8, for example by soldering points 26.
• FIG. 7 represents an exploded partial view in longitudinal section of a laminated windshield 700 comprising one or more internal luminous signs according to the present invention (for simplification the elements are not drawn curved, curved).
• the laminated windshield 700 differs from the windshield 600 by the front-side displacement of the double-sided adhesive 5.
• OLEDS 2a and 2b are glued by a double-sided adhesive 7 'on the rear face 71 of the front protective element.
• This adhesive is perforated for taking electrical contacts between the OLED 2 and the layer 8, for example by soldering points 26.
• FIG. 8a represents a front view of a common support 7 which is the front element or the rear film or also the face F4 carrying two OLED devices 2a and 2b forming luminous signage (picto etc.) and carrying conductors current supply on the windshield, it is areas of a conductive layer 8 (metal, TCO etc.) with four lines of electrical insulation 80.
• FIG. 8b represents a front view of a common support 7 which is the front element or also the rear film or the face F4 carrying two OLED devices 2a and 2b forming luminous signage (picto etc.) and carrying the drivers of FIG. supply of current on the windshield, it is four conductive tracks 81 to 84 for example metallic like copper, visible or (almost) invisible.
• FIG. 8c represents a front view of a common support 7 which is the front element or also the rear film carrying two OLED devices 2a and 2b forming luminous signage (picto etc.) and carrying current supply conductors on the windshield, It is four conductive tracks 81 to 84 for example copper, visible or invisible.
• the support also has a bent portion protruding above the wafer 15.
