The connector portion is connected (preferably permanent link) to the AMOLED screen and extends (directly) the AMOLED screen towards the edge of the second glazing, and the flexible electrical connection element extending out of the edge of the second glazing (via a so-called outer part). The connection element in particular is for the power supply and (preferably) / or carries data signals (simultaneously or sequentially) in particular electrical connection element having one or more power supply lines ("supply lines"). in English) "and / or one or more tracks for data signals (" data lines "in English), and electronic components (possibly in particular in the connector part).
According to the invention, the laminated glazing unit comprises an electroconductive structure comprising a touch control zone, forming a switch of the AMOLED screen and / or or element (s) for navigation of the AMOLED screen, a tactile control zone connected to a zone power supply, especially in the same plane, in the same material, and of the same type: layer or wire), the touch control zone (and preferably also the power supply zone) being between the face F2 and the F3 face, covered by a non-zero thickness of lamination interlayer and preferably within the laminated glazing including thickness E6 less than E2 or being on the face F4.
In one embodiment, the touch control zone is close to the OLED screen (less than 3 cm from the edges), and the touch control zone is transparent and in a transparent zone of the glazing (clear glass, especially reduced area B or more peripheral area), or the touch control area is transparent or opaque, between the face F2 and the face F3, possibly masked from the inside by an inner masking layer face F3 or face F4 and preferably provided with an opening (or several) forming a mark of said touch control area (including the switch, element (s) navigation).
In one embodiment, the touch control zone is arranged: for an upper or lower longitudinal reference edge, on one side of the AMOLED screen and preferably another touch control zone of said AMOLED screen is on another side for example the opposite side, or for an upper longitudinal reference edge, under a lower edge of the AMOLED screen or for a lower longitudinal reference edge above an upper edge of the AMOLED screen, and optionally with a d power supply between the face F2 and the rear face of the AMOLED screen (weakly transparent or opaque and in front of an outer masking layer) and even between the rear surface of the connector portion.
The touch control zone may be close to the AMOLED screen (less than 3 cm from the edge closest to the screen) or remote from the AMOLED screen, in particular on an edge of the glazing that is distinct from the reference edge: in particular a side edge if the reference edge is the longitudinal edge
The touch control area may be extended along the reference edge (including opposite the front of the OLED screen if transparent) or on a separate edge of the reference edge or even in any area of the clear of glass.
The touch control zone is on the front side of the AM OLED screen, on or in the AMOLED screen, in particular the touch control zone is an electroconductive zone on a flexible support, in particular transparent and polymeric (PET etc.) which can be :
- reported on the AMOLED display - or be part of the AM OLED screen including the side part of the substrate (extension of a technical edge) of the AMOLED screen or another film of the AMOLED screen, the flexible support possibly serving protection of the organic electroluminescent system and electrodes surrounding it.
And possibly the power supply area of the touch control area is on or in the electrical connection element. And in particular the power supply zone of the touch control zone may be an electroconductive zone on a flexible support, in particular transparent and polymeric (PET, etc.), which may be: -reported on the electrical connection element or -or be part of the electrical connection element, in particular on a film of the electrical connection element possibly also serving as protection for the electrical connection element.
The touch control zone (as well as the power supply zone) may comprise one or more electroconductive wires (sheathed or not with a dielectric material) possibly in or on a flexible support, in particular transparent and polymeric medium (PET etc.) or within the lamination interlayer, in particular wire (s) with a diameter of less than 12 μm (to be invisible) or the touch control zone and the power supply zone comprises an electroconductive layer which is: - on the face F4 (transparent especially if in the window clear), with the touch control zone or opposite the front face of the AMOLED screen or offset from the AMOLED screen, possibly the electroconductive layer being absent facing the front face of the screen OLED (for color reasons). on the face F3, the electroconductive layer comprising an electrically insulated portion for the touch control zone (transparent especially if in the clear glass), with the touch control zone opposite the front face of the AMOLED screen or offset of the AMOLED screen, possibly the electroconductive layer is absent (via an opening) opposite the front face of the OLED screen (for color reasons).
- on the F2 side with the AMOLED offset touch control zone and the power supply zone possibly behind the AMOLED screen - between the F2 face and the AMOLED rear panel, with the control zone offset touch of the AMOLED screen and the power supply zone possibly behind the AMOLED screen, in particular on the face F2, the electroconductive layer preferably being on a flexible polymeric film having a thickness of less than 1 mm and even 0.5 mm in particular protruding from the edge of the laminated glazing - on the front face or spaced from the front face and between the front face of the AMOLED display and the face F3 with the touch control area opposite or offset from the display area.
The electroconductive layer may comprise a zone electrically insulated by at least one electrical insulation track, and the electroconductive layer is chosen from: a solar control layer on the face F3 (substantially over the entire surface, covering at least 80 %, and even at least 90% of the face F3), and / or a heating layer - a solar control layer on a flexible polymeric film between the face F2 and the face F3 (covering at least 80%, and even at least 90% of the face F3), in particular laminated by the lamination interlayer.
The electroconductive layer may be an electroconductive enamel layer on the face F2 preferably on an outer masking layer, opaque enamel. It can be masked by an internal masking layer face F3 or face F4.
The electroconductive layer may be an electroconductive enamel layer on the face F3, preferably masked (from the outside) by the outer, opaque, enamel masking layer. It can also be masked by an internal masking layer face F3 enamel (under this electroconductive enamel layer) or face F4.
The glazing may comprise a plurality of AMOLEDS each with a dedicated touch control area or with a common touch control area or at least with a common switch.
The electroconductive structure can be a capacitive element. The capacitive element operates with a signal analysis and processing unit such as an electronic circuit, or even a chip of at most 1 mm2, also masked from the outside. We avoid any parasitic capacity.
For example, it comprises three electrodes used for so-called differential measurements or else with at least two electrodes, each electrode and connected to a conductor supplying them (small dimensions relative to the electrodes), conductors for example spaced apart by at most 1 mm. Conductor and electrode may be of the same material, for example with a metal conductive film having a square resistance of at most 10 ohm / square or even at most 5 ohm / square.
For example, the capacitive element comprises two concentric electrodes, each comprising two sectors of generally annular shape, respectively connected to conductors.
The electrodes and their conductors are also made in a cut conductive layer. The drivers are connected to a processing set. The conductors between the annular electrodes and the junction ends with the signal supply and processing device are separated from each other by a distance d which is of the order of the capacitive element dimension. . The operating mode is that described previously. The frequency of analysis of the charge of the electrodes is fixed at 33 Hz. To further improve the "signal-to-noise" ratio a peripheral band of the conductive layer is grounded.
The conductive elements forming the capacitive element and the possible support are for example inserted in the glazing in a zone without internal and / or external masking. They are then essentially transparent materials not to break significantly the visual appearance of the glazing. Preferably, the support and the capacitive element, constituted in conductive layers applied to this support, are chosen so that they have a light transmission determined according to EN 410 which is not less than 70% and preferably not less than 80%.
The support used for the capacitive element is preferably as thin as possible. If the support comprises only the capacitive element, a flexible film for example polyethylene terephthalate said PET, coated with conductive layers may be used. In this case the thickness can be particularly low, of a few hundredths of a millimeter. The insertion of a support is preferably made from an edge of the glazing.
All the components included in curved glazing must be able to support these curvatures, hence the need to use sufficiently flexible supports. Moreover, when a support has a significant thickness, for example at least 0.15 mm and even at least 0.2 mm, it is preferable for facilitating assembly, to arrange these supports in a corresponding reserve made in a sheet lamination interlayer of similar thickness.
The transparent electrical conductive products which can be used according to the invention to constitute the capacitive element comprise one or sufficiently thin layers of conductive oxides, or of the latter metal layers arranged in sets of protective dielectric layers.
Among the most conductive oxide layers (TCO), in particular indium oxide doped tin oxide (ITO) -based layers. These layers under thicknesses meeting the condition of transparency, allow to reach resistances of less than 50Ω / α and preferably less than 30Ω / α and particularly less than 20Ω / a.The electrical resistance of the layers is necessarily function of their thickness. An increase in the thickness makes it possible to reduce the resistance but runs up against the necessity to preserve a good transparency. For ITO type layers, an acceptable level of absorption corresponds to layers whose thickness does not exceed 300 nm, and preferably 200 nm.
The conductive structure of the electricity may contain at least one linear, electrically conductive element. The linear, electrically conductive element is preferably an electrically conductive wire. The wire is advantageously used very thin. The preferred yarns have a thickness less than or equal to 0.25 mm, particularly preferably from 0.02 mm to 0.15 mm. The yarns are preferably metallic, in particular they contain or are made of copper, tungsten, gold, silver or aluminum or alloys of at least two of these metals. The alloys may also contain molybdenum, rhenium, osmium, iridium, palladium or platinum.
The wire is preferably electrically insulated, for example, by electrical electrical insulation coating. This is particularly advantageous if the wire passes over an electrically conductive layer or other electrically conductive voltage-carrying elements and / or keys of the glazing.
In another advantageous embodiment, the electrically conductive structure contains at least one printed thin structure made of a conductive material, for example, a printing paste drawn with metal particles. The conductive structure of the electricity can be produced by printing and baking a conductive paste. The conductive paste preferably contains silver particles and glass frits. The layer thickness of the cooked dough is preferably 5 μm to 40 μm, particularly preferably 8 μm to 20 μm. the drawn silver itself sticks to light scattering properties and can, therefore, serve itself means a deviation of light.
In another advantageous embodiment, the electrically conductive structure comprises an electroconductive transparent layer. This is particularly advantageous because, then, the conductive structure of the electricity affects little or no vision through the glazing.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment of a glazing according to the invention, the electrically conductive structure of the switching surface and a heating zone are parts of the same electroconductive layer and are electrically separated from the transparent electroconductive layer by at least a line of separation. The width of the separation lines is preferably from 30pm to 200pm and in particular preferably from 70pm to 140pm. These thin separation lines allow safe and sufficiently high electrical insulation, and at the same time, disturb little or no vision through the glazing. The production of the separation lines is preferably carried out by laser structuring or chemical or mechanical removal. Such a switching surface arrangement and a heating zone made from the same layer is particularly simple and economical to produce.
The touch control zone preferably has a surface of 1 cm 2 to 200 cm 2, more preferably 1 cm 2 to 10 cm 2. The surface of the switch may, for example, have the shape of an oval, an ellipse or a circle, a triangle, a rectangle, a square or other type of quadrilateral or a higher polygon, in particular, circular, elliptical or drop-shaped shapes or shapes with rounded corners as well as band shapes.
The surface may be electrically connected to an electronic assembly, in particular galvanic, capacitive and / or inductive.
In an advantageous embodiment, a heating zone comprises a plurality of individual metal wires, called "heating wires", between case bus bars. The son are advantageously used very thin, in particular a thickness less than or equal to 0.1 mm, particularly preferably from 0.02 mm to 0.04 mm, and in particular from 0.024 mm to 0.029 mm. The metal wires preferably contain copper, tungsten, gold, silver or aluminum or alloys of at least two of these metals. The alloys may also contain molybdenum, rhenium, osmium, iridium, palladium or platinum.
The touch control (switching) zone is defined by the shape and size of the surface electrode. The capacitance of a surface electrode is measured by an external electronic assembly. The capacitance of the surface electrode changes with respect to the ground when the earth is an organ in its proximity or, for example, in contact with an insulating layer on the surface electrode. The insulation layer includes, in particular, the substrate itself or an intermediate layer or a plate. The variation of the capacitance is measured by all the detection electronics, and when a threshold value is exceeded, a switching signal is triggered. In a variant, the switching surface has two electrically conductive structures.
In the case of an electrically conductive structure consisting of an electroconductive layer, this layer is advantageously divided by one or a plurality of other demarcation lines. It is particularly advantageous that the second electrically conductive structure borders the first conductive structure of the electricity at least partially and preferably completely. This border is advantageous because the influence of a heating zone and, in particular, a change of voltage in the heating zone on the switching surface is thus reduced.
In another advantageous embodiment according to the invention, the surrounding area has the same shape or shape similar to the switching zone in particular, circular, elliptical, or shapes or shapes with rounded corners as well as shapes. band
It is particularly advantageous for the second electrically conductive structure to have another connection area which can be connected to the electronics. In such an arrangement, the first and second electrically conductive structures form two electrodes that are capacitively coupled to each other. The capacity of the capacitor formed by the electrodes varies with the proximity of a body, for example, a part of a human body. The capacitance variation is measured by electronics and when a threshold value is exceeded, a switching signal is triggered. The sensitive area is defined by the shape and size of the area in which the electrodes are capacitively coupled.
Alternatively, the surface of the switch may also have an inductive, thermal or other function that is non-contact. "Non-contact" means that no touching directly from the electrically conductive structure is necessary to trigger a switching operation.
In an advantageous embodiment of the glazing according to the invention, the electrically conductive structure, which forms the switching surface, may have three zones of different functionalities: the tactile control zone, a connection or connection zone, which has an electrical line connection, to which the electrical conductor structure is electrically connected to the outside, and a supply area, which connects the touch area to the connection area. The touch zone is preferably larger than the feed zone. For example, the feeding zone may have a small width and a great length; whereas, on the other hand, the tactile zone is preferably square, round, circular or drop-shaped and thus has a large surface area that can be touched, for example, for one or a plurality of human fingers or a surface of the hand. The AMOLED (transparent) screen is also in the clear glass or is masked by a so-called outer masking layer, opaque, between the face F2 and the rear face of the AMOLED screen (preferably opposite F2 and an enamel layer) and the connection part is also possibly masked by the external masking layer (even when the AMOLED screen is in the window clear). The invention applies equally well when: the AMOLED screen is in the window clear and the connector portion is at the periphery (in particular opaque or weakly transparent) or absent (the connection element absent from the laminate, which can be "Wireless") - the AMOLED screen and the connector part are peripherally (especially opaque or slightly transparent).
The first touch control zone may comprise (functionally): a first power supply switch at a time for turning on or off the AMOLED screen, in particular a capacitive system, in particular an insulated portion of the electroconductive solar control layer and / or heating layer by means of one or more insulating lines (trench, laser ablation etc.) as discrete as possible - a first navigation element of the AMOLED screen - possibly with a local reference such as an arrow pointing downwards, for example - to move (descend) from one line or area to another line or other area of a menu (primary or secondary) on the AMOLED display.
Intuitively (or with the aid of an on-board manual), the driver or co-pilot can touch the switch or the navigation element.
Preferably the first control zone is accessible without the driver leans towards the windshield or at least rises a little from the seat, in particular with an arm still in flexion.
As another element of navigation one can have: - an element to pass the AMOLED screen in telephone mode (for example to select the recorded contacts) - an element to visualize a route on the AMOLED screen.
The first touch control zone may comprise (functionally): a first power supply switch (possibly with a local reference mark: symbol, etc.) for both turning on and off the AMOLED screen, in particular a capacitive system, in particular an isolated part; of the solar control electroconductive layer and / or heating layer by means of one or more insulating lines (trench, laser ablation etc.) as discrete as possible
a first navigation element of the AMOLED screen preferably with a first local coordinate system such as an arrow pointing downwards for example to descend (from one zone) to another line (zone) of a menu (main or secondary). ), the AMOLED screen - a second navigation element of the AMOLED screen preferably with a second local coordinate system such as an arrow pointing upwards for example to go up one line (from one zone) to another line (zone) of a menu (main or secondary) of the AMOLED screen 3. - a third navigation element of the AMOLED screen preferably with a third local coordinate system such as an arrow for example facing left to go from a line (from one zone) to another line (zone) of a menu (main or secondary) of the AMOLED screen, - a fourth navigation element of the AMOLED screen preferably with a fourth local coordinate system as a arrow for example orient to the left to move from one line (from one zone) to another line (zone) of a menu (primary or secondary) of the AMOLED screen, - a fifth navigation element of the AMOLED screen of preference with a fifth local marker to change the function of the AMOLED screen (phone mode, alert mode etc).
A navigation element or a switch (or "button") according to the invention may therefore have a local reference. A local marker can be a white or black enamel on the face F3 or F4 (except zone B reduced preferably). The marker can also be a sticker on the face F4. A local marker may be bright and may even be constituted by an AMOLED screen itself, particularly when the AMOLED screen is in the window clear and the TL in this area is at least 70% (zone Reduced B). The screen can indicate the place or locations that can be selected and at the same time display the respective function at the button itself. The display can be symbolic with pictograms or by writing. Like that, one can with very few buttons create a relatively user-friendly control system where the buttons change function depending on the situation.
For example the button 'on' (switch) can once the AMOLED screen is turned on become a button for validation (navigation element). Two additional buttons can be used to navigate inside a menu that opens after the AMOLED screen is turned on. A button may go out when the function is no longer accessible, for example when one is at the end of the functions available in the menu.
You can also use a time function to manage the buttons (navigation elements, same switch). For example turn off the menu if there was no validation after a certain time. It is also possible to turn off the AMOLED display by pressing the button for a longer time or activate a particular function by pressing two keys at a time for a certain time. You can control an AMOLED screen with just three buttons.
The menu does not have to display under the buttons, but may appear on all or part of the AMOLED screen to give a better overview. Two additional buttons allow you to manage a more complex menu with eg four arrows as on a standard keyboard.
A positioning of the buttons below or beside the AMOLED display has other advantages. This avoids the use of a segmented conductive layer at the AMOLED screen and to see finger marks on the AMOLED screen.
The touch control area can be preferably securely connected to an edge of the AMOLED screen. It is then in the same plane and preferably with means of substantially the same thickness as the AMOLED screen. The AMOLED screen (as the possible connection element) is preferably within the lamination for better mechanical strength. Thus, the laminating interlayer is then present at the front and at the back of the AMOLED screen (as of the possible connection element) which is advantageous compared to an asymmetrical solution in which the AMOLED screen (as the possible connection element) is attached (against or fixed by double-sided adhesive or glue or contact by adhesion) to the face F2 or the face F3.
For windshields, in particular for road vehicles, the glazings are preferably curved and even in two directions, and preferably with two mineral glass panes and even with a PVB lamination interlayer. In this case, the flexible AMOLED screen adapts to the curvatures as the possible part of connection (on flexible film).
Preferably the laminated glazing forms a road vehicle windshield such as an automobile, a truck, with the first and second domed mineral glass panes and even a laminating interlayer PVB and an AMOLED screen within the laminating (all as the part of connectivity). The AMOLED screen may be opaque or transparent. The transparent AMOLED screen (in the window clear in a peripheral zone or not) is preferably defined by a light transmission (TL) of the area of the laminated glazing unit comprising at least 70%. The less transparent AMOLED screen (always intended to be peripheral) is preferably defined by a light transmission (TL) of the area of the laminated glazing unit comprising less than 20% or even 10%.
An opaque AMOLED screen may be defined as having a null TL (for example by adding a layer or paint -metal ...- to the back of the carrier substrate of the AMOLED system).
In one embodiment, the AMOLED screen is opaque or transparent with a TL light transmission of less than 10% and even less than 5% and / or the connection portion is opaque or of TL light transmission less than 10% and even 5%.
In the case of a particular windshield (in particular a road vehicle), this AMOLED screen, preferably in configuration a), may be arranged peripherally and preferably in the central zone of the upper longitudinal edge, in particular in a zone where the width of the outer masking layer is of width L1 greater than its width LO on the driver's side and / or co-pilot.
This makes it possible to arrange an AMOLED screen (opaque or slightly transparent) of greater size, in particular with a greater height H3 (dimension along the vertical). The AM OLED screen may also be closer to the center (closer to the border).
Preferably, the outer masking layer is enamel and F2 face behind the AMOLED screen and the other possible AMOLED screens. In the off state, it is possible not to distinguish the AMOLED screen area from the masking area further back. It is possible to adapt the color of the external masking layer (in particular enamel, face F2) accordingly.
In one embodiment, the AMOLED screen is transparent and in the clear glass or in that the AMOLED screen (transparent or opaque) is masked by a so-called external masking layer between the rear face of the AMOLED screen and the face F 2 (, and / or the electrical connection element is masked from the outside, in particular by a so-called external masking layer between the rear surface and the face F 2 and the technical edge or edges of the AMOLED screen as well as the element connection are masked from the inside by a so-called internal masking layer opposite F3 or F4
In a preferred embodiment, the AMOLED screen covers at most the entire peripheral area visible by the driver (or co-pilot if AMOLED screen on his side) in the windshield of road vehicle (automobile) to the edge of the central area of Transparent vision and more precisely: - up to the upper edge of the central zone of transparent vision if the AMOLED screen is arranged horizontally on the driver's side (or co-pilot if AMOLED screen on its side) along the upper longitudinal edge driver (or passenger) - to the lower edge of the central clear vision zone if the AMOLED display is horizontally arranged horizontally on the driver's side (or co-pilot if AMOLED screen on its side) along the lower longitudinal edge of the driver's side (or passenger) - to the upper edge of the central zone of transparent vision if the AMOLED screen is arranged at the top horizontally or vertically in the central zone of the upper longitudinal edge - to the left edge of the central transparent vision zone (respectively right) if the AMOLED screen is arranged vertically to the left, preferably on the driver's side (preferably right-hand side, preferably on the co-pilot side) of the left lateral edge, preferably in the lower part (lower half of the lateral edge) to be wider
It is the same for the said other AMOLED screens - if opaque or weakly transparent, preferably masked by the external masking layer, preferably opposite F2-.
The upper, lower, lateral (left and right) edges (or boundaries) of the transparent central vision zone are defined in particular by a regulation standard. For example for a windshield of a road vehicle, automobile, this is the reduced area B defined according to the European standard UN-ECE R43 Annex 18, in particular page 133 and § 2.4. The upper limit of the central zone of transparent vision is preferably defined from an angle between the horizontal and 7 ° from a reference point (the driver's eye, eye at height Z with respect to vehicle seat with Z = 665mm for a large driver or Z = 589mm for a small driver From the relevant edge of the laminated glazing including road vehicle windshield, the following distances are defined: - h1 distance between the upper edge and the upper limit of the peripheral vision area of the driver (or co-pilot if AMOLED screen on his side) in the vehicle, preferably at least 15mm and even at least 50 or 90mm - h'1 distance between the edge lower and lower limit of the peripheral vision area of the driver (or co-pilot if AMOLED screen on his side) in the vehicle preferably at least 40mm and even at least 100 or 200mm - h4 distance between the edge l attral (left or right) and the lateral limit of the peripheral zone of vision of the driver (or co-pilot if AMOLED screen on his side) in the vehicle preferably of at least 15mm and even of at least 20 or 40mm
Outside the area of the AMOLED screen (and / or said other AMOLED screens), an external peripheral masking layer (on the face F2) can be formed, such as enamel, singing up to h1, h'1, h4 by exceeding example of the (predetermined) vision zone of at most 2cm as conventionally.
According to the invention it is possible to increase the width of the external masking layer in a manner to hide the AMOLED screen (and the said one or more other AMOLED screens) and at most up to the limits of the central transparency zone. External masking is therefore possible from the reduced viewing zone limit B to the edge of the (first) glazing.
Depending on the relevant edge of the laminated glazing including road vehicle windshield, the following distances are defined: - h2 distance between the upper edge and the upper limit of the central transparency area driver side (or co-pilot if AMOLED screen on its side ), preferably at least 120mm and even more than 150mm or 200mm or 220mm, - h'2 distance between the lower edge and the lower limit of the central area transparency driver side (or co-pilot if AMOLED screen on its side) preferably at least 120mm and even more than 150mm or 300mm - Ha distance between the upper edge and the upper limit of the central transparency area in the central part (for AMOLED screen in central position), preferably from to minus 180mm and even at least 250mm or 300mm, - h5 distance between the side edge (left or right) and the lateral limit of the central transparency area on the driver's side (or the copilot side e if AMOLED screen on its side) preferably at least 80mm and even more than 120 or 150mm.
The height h6 of the reduced zone B in the high position (between the potentially opaque zone and the most central zone A) can be from 60mm to 90mm. It can be used for an AMOLED (fairly) transparent screen (which can go up in the potentially opaque zone). Preferably the outer masking layer is higher than the AMOLED screen.
The height h'6 of the reduced zone B in the low position (between the potentially opaque zone and the zone A plus the central one) can be between 60mm and 90mm. It can be used for an AMOLED (fairly) transparent screen (which can go down in the potentially opaque area). Preferably, the external masking layer is lower than the AMOLED screen.

The inner masking layer or the masking element (the opaque film) may exceed the technical edges by at least 0.1 mm and even at most 5 mm or 2 mm. The two embodiments of the internal masking layer / masking element are not necessarily mutually exclusive, and one can imagine a masking of the technical edge of the AMOLED screen according to the first embodiment and a masking of the connecting element (the connector part) according to the second, or a double masking of the technical edge of the AMOLED screen or the connection element according to the two embodiments at a time.
The masking function is to hide unnecessary and unsightly parts of the device to leave visible from the inside that the useful part; any method adapted to the nature of the substrate according to the first or second embodiment, may be employed: printing such as inkjet, screen printing, enamel as on the face F2 ....
The internal masking layer may be confined to masking the technical edge (s) and part (at least the visible one) of the electrical connection element (of the connector part), or even possibly exceeding a little of at most 1 at 2cm. The internal masking layer may be in the zone with the AMOLED screen of a width less than or equal to that of the external masking so that the external masking is visible by transparency on either side of the AMOLED screen.

The external masking layer on the face F2 and the internal layer on F3 or F4 are preferably made of the same material and even enamel. It is preferred to have an enamel layer at least face F2 and even face F4.
In order to limit heating in the passenger compartment or to limit the use of air conditioning, at least one of the glazings (preferably at least the first glazing) is preferably tinted.
The laminated glazing may comprise a reflective layer or solar radiation absorbing said solar control layer, preferably preferably face F3 or even face F2 of the second glazing (preferably clear). This electroconductive layer is transparent because partly in the clear glass.
The solar control layer can also be used as a heating layer with a peripheral power supply.

The functional layers in particular preferably contain at least 90% by weight of the metal, in particular at least 99.9% by weight of the metal. The functional layers can be made of metal for the metal alloy. The functional layers particularly preferably contain silver or a silver-containing alloy. The thickness of a functional layer (silver, etc.) is preferably from 5 nm to 50 nm, more preferably from 8 nm to 25 nm. A dielectric layer contains at least one individual layer made of a dielectric material, for example, containing a nitride such as silicon nitride or an oxide such as aluminum oxide. The dielectric layer may, however, also contain a plurality of individual layers, for example, individual layers of dielectric material, layers, smoothing layers, which correspond to blocking layers and / or anti-reflective layers. The thickness of a dielectric layer is, for example, from 10 nm to 200 nm. This layer structure is generally obtained by a succession of deposition operations which are carried out by a vacuum process such as magnetic sputtering supported in the field.
The electroconductive layer is a layer (monolayer or multilayer and therefore stack), preferably with a total thickness less than or equal to 2 μm, particularly preferably less than or equal to 1 μm.
The electroconductive layer may have a resistance of 0.4 ohm / square at 10 ohms / square of sheet and even of 0.5 ohm / square at 1 ohm / square, with typically onboard voltages of 12 V at 48 V or, in the case of electric vehicles, with typical voltages on board up to 500 V.
It is possible to accumulate electroconductive layer (with silver, etc.) opposite F2 and / or F3. The electroconductive layer opposite F3 is for example a stack marketed by the applicant company under the name of Climacoat. For example, it can be covered directly with a masking of one or technical edges of the AMOLED screen (detailed above) and / or the connector part.
Alternatively, an electroconductive layer may be used on a preferably transparent polymeric support (polyethylene terephthalate, PET etc.) between the face F2 and F3 (preferably laminated with the interlayer rather than glued) to be a possibly solar control layer. heating (with at least two bus bars especially as mentioned above).
Also, in one embodiment, the glazing (preferably the vehicle windshield including road) comprises between the face F2 and the face F4, in particular on the face F3 or on the face F4, an electroconductive layer preferably transparent or a set electroconductive (preferably metallic) yarns preferably transparent or invisible.

The opening (the absence of the electroconductive layer or electroconductive wires) makes it possible to remove the coloration due to the reflection of the electroconductive layer. It also increases TL light transmission in this area.
Preferably the second glazing coated with the electroconductive layer (with optional opening, solar control and / or even heating) is a clear or extraclair glass, such as a Planiclear applicant company (and the first glazing remains tinted).
The present invention will be better understood and other advantageous details and characteristics of the invention will become apparent on reading the examples of laminated vehicle glazings according to the invention illustrated by the following figures: FIGS. 1, 1 ', 1a, and 8 are each a diagrammatic front view of a windshield with an AMOLED screen of a motor vehicle, viewed from the inside - FIGS. 1a, 1a, 2a, 2b are schematic front views and detail diagrams. A windshield with an AMOLED display of a motor vehicle, inside view - Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are schematic sectional and partial views of a windshield with AMOLED screen a motor vehicle, interior view.
It is specified that for the sake of clarity the various elements of the objects represented are not necessarily reproduced on the scale. For simplicity, the glazings are not represented curved nor the flexible elements in the curved lamination by adapting to this or these curvatures (in two dimensions) glazing.
Figure 1 is a partial schematic view of the inside of a windshield with AMOLED screen 100 of a motor vehicle.
The windshield 100 comprises a central clear view area (central portion of the inner glazing 1 'and therefore face side F4 14) and an outer masking peripheral frame 5, the lower longitudinal edges 15a and 15b high, 15c left and right side 15d, frame hiding here the back of the AMOLED screen 3 opaque or weakly transparent (not transparent enough to be in the clear glass). The external masking layer 5, opposite F2, thus hides a view of the outside of the vehicle AMOLED screen 3 (and its connector not shown here, preferably in the laminated). The enamel 5 has the primary function of hiding, seen from the F1 face, the adhesive bead solidarisant the final laminated glazing to the body berry. The AMOLED screen is arranged in a central position of the top longitudinal edge 15b horizontally and is rectangular. It is (all or part) in a so-called enlarged zone whose width (vertical dimension) L1 of the enamel is greater than the width LO adjacent (for example to the left) serving for conventional masking and even co-pilot side.
For example, the horizontal dimension or width W3 is at least 120mm and even up to 250mm. The vertical dimension or height H3 is at least 75 mm. The AMOLED screen 3 is here lowered to the lowest of the enlarged peripheral zone. Its low edge 34 is near or on the border of the flat enamel 51 (solid zone) rather than on the border of the eventual zone with enamel patterns for example of width of at most 15mm. Its high edge 34 'can be as high as possible (at the edge of the vision zone in the cabin), typically at least 15mm and better at least 70mm. It depends on the design of the windshield (size, inclination, clear vision desired by the manufacturer).
The edges 53, 53 'of the enlarged zone of enamel 50 may exceed lateral edges 33 and 33' for example of at most 2 cm or even 1 or 0.5 cm (limit of the solid zone). In the off state, the AMOLED display is dark and even does not stand out or barely from the enamel background 5 (protruding on the sides). The enamel color can be adapted accordingly. Preferably the enamel is opaque and dark. The AMOLED screen is here in a peripheral zone distinct from the transparent central zone called zone A ZA (the most central and in two parts, in quadrilateral) or the reduced zone B Zb (in dotted lines).
On the AMOLED 3 display, you can see the central vision of the rear of the vehicle and preferably the side visions of the vehicle. The AMOLED display can have the rear view function, in which case it can automatically switch on with the engine or the driver. It can also have other functions that are more modifiable during the trip such as: phone mode, TV mode, display of environmental data or on the road (maps, GPS etc.) or on the vehicle, simultaneous display on one or more zones screen (for example in the manner of a mobile phone screen).
A first touch control zone 70 of the AMOLED screen which is for example a vertical rectangular strip is provided at the periphery of the left lateral edge 15c (driver's side) in a transparent zone. We therefore favor invisible touch control means or possibly with a mark (bright etc.) detailed below.
The touch control zone 70 comprises: a transparent electroconductive layer (monolayer or multilayer) between the face F2 and the face F3 (on the face F2, on the face F3 or on a flexible polymeric support transparent) for example covering at least 90% of the face F2 or F3 and serving as a solar control layer and / or heating layer or a sufficiently fine electroconductive son or wires between the face F2 and the face F3 (in the PVB) - or a transparent electroconductive layer locally on the F4 face.
The first touch control zone 70 comprises (functionally): a first power supply switch 71 at a time for turning on or off the AMOLED screen 3, in particular a capacitive system, in particular an insulated portion of the electroconductive solar control layer, and / or heating layer by means of one or more insulating lines (trench, laser ablation etc.) as discrete as possible - a first navigation element 72 of the AMOLED screen 3 - optionally with a local reference such as an arrow for example oriented down - - to move (descend) from one line or zone to another line or other area of a menu (primary or secondary) on the AMOLED screen 3.
The local coordinate system may be a white or black enamel on the F3 or F4 face (if accepted by the standard). The marker can also be a sticker on the face F4.
Intuitively (or with the aid of an on-board manual), the driver or co-pilot can touch the switch or the navigation element.
Preferably the first control zone is accessible without the driver leans towards the windshield or at least rises a little from the seat, in particular with an arm still in flexion.
Similarly, a second touch control zone 70 'of the AMOLED screen which is for example a vertical rectangular strip is provided at the periphery of the right lateral edge 15d (co-pilot side) in a transparent zone (symmetrically to the first zone). Invisible tactile control means are therefore preferred.
The second touch control zone 70 'comprises: a transparent electroconductive layer (monolayer or multilayer) between the face F2 and the face F3 (on the face F2, on the face F3 or on a transparent polymeric flexible support) for example covering at least 90% of the face F2 or F3 and serving as a solar control layer and / or heating layer or a sufficiently fine electroconductive wire or wires between the face F2 and the face F3 (in the PVB) - or a transparent electroconductive layer locally on the F4 side.
The second touch control zone 70 'comprises (functionally): a second power supply switch 71' at a time for turning on or off the AMOLED screen, in particular a capacitive system, in particular an insulated portion of the electroconductive solar control layer; and / or heating layer by means of one or more insulating lines (trench, laser ablation etc.) - a second navigation element 72 'of the AMOLED screen 3 - possibly with a local reference such as an arrow pointing towards the down- to move (descend) from one line or zone to another line or other area of a menu (primary or secondary) on the AMOLED 3 screen.
As another element of navigation one can have: - an element to pass the AMOLED screen in telephone mode (for example to select the recorded contacts) - an element to visualize a route on the AMOLED screen As a variant not shown, the screen AMOLED is on the longitudinal edge up the driver's side. It is higher but may be wider than in the central zone and protrude in the central zone (excluding the protruding zone of enamel).
In a variant that is not shown, the AMOLED screen is on the lower longitudinal edge on the driver's side in the viewing zone. It may be wider than in the central zone. In a variant that is not shown, the AMOLED screen is on the low side edge on the driver's side and is arranged vertically at the lowest point in the viewing zone.
Figure 1 'is a partial schematic representation of the inside of a windshield 100' with AMOLED screen of a motor vehicle.
The windshield 100 'differs from that in FIG. 1 in that the AMOLED screen is arranged in a vertical manner (larger H3 and smaller W3). For example H3 is 150mm to 300mm and W3 is 60m to 120mm.
The first and second touch control regions 70, 70 'are moved to be on either side of the AMOLED screen 3 in horizontal rectangular strips. The first and second tactile control areas 70, 70 'are: - before the masking background 5 but not masked by a possible internal masking layer (enamel opposite F3 or face F4) - or more lateral and in a transparent zone ( without external or internal masking). Cumulatively or alternatively, it is possible to have first and second tactile control regions 70, 70 'in vertical rectangular strips respectively in a peripheral zone of the left lateral edge 15c (driver's side) in an area with the masking background 5 and in a peripheral zone the right side edge 15d (co-pilot side) in an area with the masking background 5 (symmetrically to the first zone).
So far, the buttons are close enough. Cumulatively or alternatively, it is possible to have first and second touch control regions 70c, 70d in longer horizontal rectangular strips: in a transparent zone (clear of glass) to the left of the central zone and in a transparent zone (clear of glass ) to the right of the central zone, for example of width (horizontal dimension) of at least 20 cm or more, or in a zone with the outer masking background.
As a variant not shown, two AMOLED screens are provided in this central zone on either side of the AMOLED screen: for example, also arranged in a vertical manner, for example arranged horizontally
Each AMOLED display has an individual touch control area or common to other AMOLED displays or at least shares the switch.
Preferably, a plurality of isolated zones of an electroconductive layer is used, in particular transparent (if necessary) between the face F2 and the face F3.
Figure 1a is a partial schematic representation of the inside of a windshield 100a with AMOLED screen of a motor vehicle.
The windshield 100a differs from that in FIG. 1 in that the AMOLED screen is arranged in a transparent zone (required) for example with the high edge 34 'at the limit of the full zone 51.
A first touch control zone 70 of the AMOLED screen which is for example a horizontal rectangular strip is provided at the periphery under the low edge 34 (driver's side) in the transparent zone. Therefore, invisible tactile control means or possibly with a reference (light etc.) detailed below is preferred. The touch control zone 70 comprises: a transparent electroconductive layer (monolayer or multilayer) between the face F 2 and the face F 3 (on the face F2, on the face F3 or on a transparent polymeric flexible support) for example covering at least 90% of the face F2 or F3 and serving as a solar control layer and / or heating layer or one or more electroconductive son sufficiently fins between the face F2 and the face F3 (in the PVB) - or an electroconductive layer transparent locally on the face F4.
The first touch control zone 70 comprises (functionally): a first power supply switch 71 at a time for turning on or off the AMOLED screen 3, in particular a capacitive system, in particular an insulated portion of the electroconductive solar control layer, and / or heating layer by means of one or more insulating lines (trench, laser ablation etc.) as discrete as possible - a first navigation element 72 of the AMOLED screen 3 - optionally with a local reference such as an arrow for example oriented down - - to move (descend) from one line or zone to another line or other area of a menu (primary or secondary) on the AMOLED screen 3.
Figure 1a is a schematic front view and detail of a windshield 10Obis with AMOLED display of a motor vehicle, inside view showing another possible position of touch control area 70.
For simplicity the outer masking layer is not shown while it covers the area of the AMOLED screen (which is periphery, opaque or weakly transparent). The elements in solid lines are seen through transparency through the inner glazing.
As in FIG. 1, the AMOLED screen 3 is arranged horizontally in the central zone of the high longitudinal edge 15b. The windshield 100bis comprises an outer mineral glass sheet 1 and an inner mineral glass sheet 1 'whose upper edge 15b has a notch 11'. The OLED screen 3 is sandwiched between the outer glass sheet 1 and the inner glass sheet 1 '. It has a display area 32 'framed by one or more technical edges (here four) in narrow peripheral lateral fringes 33 and 33', low 34, high 34 'of width generally at least 0.5mm. It is powered by an electrical connection element 4 of the AMOLED screen 3 which comprises: a flexible part called connection 40 between the face F2 and the face F3 within the lamination interlayer with a front surface front side F3 and a front side surface F2, of thickness E4 less than that E2 of the lamination interlayer, connected to the AMOLED screen and extending the AMOLED screen toward the edge of the second glazing, - extended out of the edge of the second glazing by a so-called external portion 45 flexible, curved and fixed by bonding F4 face without extending to the display area 32 'via a portion 47 terminated by its connector 8 in an accessible area at the time of assembly / disassembly . The connection element 4 is a flexible printed circuit (in English: "Flexible Printed Circuit" - FPC) capable of implementing 2560 X 1600 pixels (AMOLED screen). The FPC 4 could also advantageously be of the same width as the AMOLED screen 3, so as to facilitate the insertion of the two elements into the lamination interlayer, preferably of polyvinyl butyral (PVB slightly set back from the glazing edges). . The inner glass 1 'has a notch 11'. The dimensions of the notch 11 'are adapted to the FPC 4: - width of the notch 11' greater than or equal to that of the FPC 4; - Depth of the notch 11 'greater than or equal to the thickness of the FPC 4 preferably to prevent the FPC 4 is visible from the outside in case of apparent edge.
In practice the depth of the notch 11 'is between 1.5mm and 2mm. The area of the notch 11 'is substantially free of lamination interlayer.
The touch control zone 70 is under the low edge 34 in a transparent zone (no external or internal masking). Invisible tactile control means are therefore preferred (if reduced area B) or possibly with a detailed reference below (excluding reduced area B: luminous, by drawing).
The touch control zone 70 comprises: a transparent electroconductive layer (monolayer or multilayer) between the face F2 and the face F3 (on the face F2, on the face F3 or on a flexible polymeric support transparent) for example covering at least 90% of the face F2 or F3 and serving as a solar control layer and / or heating layer or a sufficiently fine electroconductive son or wires between the face F2 and the face F3 (in the PVB) - or a transparent electroconductive layer locally on the F4 face.
The first touch control zone 70 comprises (functionally): a first power supply switch 71 (possibly with a local reference mark: symbol, etc.) for both turning on and off the AMOLED screen 3, in particular a capacitive system, in particular isolated part of the electroconductive solar control layer and / or heating layer by means of one or more insulating lines (trench, laser ablation etc.) as discrete as possible - a first navigation element 72 of the AMOLED screen 3 preferably with a first local marker such as an arrow pointing downwards for example to go down (from one zone) to another line (zone) of a menu (main or secondary), of the AMOLED screen 3 - a second element of navigation 73 of the AMOLED screen 3 preferably with a second local coordinate system such as an arrow pointing upwards for example to go up one line (from one zone) to another line (zone ) of a menu (main or secondary) of the AMOLED screen 3. - a third navigation element 74 of the AMOLED screen 3 preferably with a third local coordinate system such as an arrow for example facing left to pass from a line (from one zone) to another line (zone) of a menu (main or secondary) of the AMOLED screen 3, - a fourth navigation element 75 of the AMOLED screen 3 preferably with a fourth marker local as an arrow for example turned to the left to go from one line (of a zone) to another line (zone) of a menu (main or secondary) of the AMOLED screen 3, - a fifth element of navigation 75 of the AMOLED 3 screen preferably with a fifth local marker to change the function of the AMOLED screen (phone mode, alert mode etc).
Each local marker may be a white or black enamel or any other color on the F3 or F4 face. The marker can also be a sticker on the face F4.
The touch control area can be placed in a separate plane than the AMOLED screen. For example, a flexible flexible carrier carrying electrical conductors also exits through the notch 11 '.
The touch control zone 70 may be masked by a masking layer at F3 or F4, in particular enamel.
The touch control area 70 may be preferably securely connected to the edge 34 of the AMOLED screen
Figure 1 'bis is a schematic front view and detail of a windshield 100'bis AMOLED screen of a motor vehicle, seen on the inside. For simplicity the outer masking layer is not shown while it covers the area of the AMOLED screen (periphery, opaque or weakly transparent). The elements in solid lines are seen through transparency through the inner glazing.
It differs from the windshield 100bis by its arrangement in the vertical.
The touch control zone 70 comprises: a transparent electroconductive layer (monolayer or multilayer) between the face F2 and the face F3 (on the face F2, on the face F3 or on a flexible polymeric support transparent) for example covering at least 90% of the face F2 or F3 and serving as a solar control layer and / or heating layer or a sufficiently fine electroconductive son or wires between the face F2 and the face F3 (in the PVB) - or a transparent electroconductive layer locally on the F4 face.
The touch control zone 70 comprises (functionally): a first power supply switch 71 (possibly with a local reference "ON"), in particular a capacitive system, in particular an insulated portion of the electroconductive solar control layer and / or layer heating by means of one or more insulating lines (trench, laser ablation, etc.) as discrete as possible a possible second emergency power supply switch 71 ', in particular a capacitive system, in particular an insulated portion of the electroconductive solar control layer and / or heating layer by means of one or more insulating lines (trench, by laser ablation, etc.) as discrete as possible - a first navigation element 72 of the AMOLED screen 3 preferably with a first local reference such as an arrow by example down to go from one line to another line of a menu (main or secondary), - a second navigation element 73 of the AMOLED screen 3 preferably with a second local coordinate system such as an arrow pointing upwards, for example, to go up one line (from one zone) to another line (zone) of one menu (main or sub) of the AMOLED screen 3.
Figure 2 is a schematic sectional and partial view of a windshield 200 with AMOLED screen of a motor vehicle, inside view.
The windshield 200 comprises: a first glazing 1, with a first main face 11, called F1, intended to be on the outside side of the vehicle, and a second opposite main face 12, called F2, preferably having a thickness E1 of at most 2.5 mm, in particular a preferably dyed silica-glass float glass sheet, with a glass thickness of 2.1 mm, such as a TSA glass of the Applicant Company - a laminating interlayer made of polymeric material 2, face-side F 2, of thickness E2 preferably at least 0.76mm as polyvinyl butyral (PVB) - a second glazing 1 ', with a third main face 13 so-called F3 lamination intermediate side 2 and a fourth opposite main face 14 so-called F4, to be rated the interior of the vehicle, preferably having a thickness ΕΊ of at most 2.2 mm, in particular a sheet of float glass with a thickness of 1.6 mm of glass thickness, for example stained like a TSA glass of the Applicant Company, - between the face F2 and the face F3 and within the lamination interlayer, an organic light-emitting diode display screen, comprising a set of pixels, said AMOLED screen 3, flexible, the AMOLED screen comprising a dynamic information display area 32 ', of thickness E3 less than E2 and preferably subcentiometric, AMOLED screen having a front main face 32 facing the face F3 and a rear face 31 facing the face F2, AMOLED screen is arranged at the periphery, - within the laminating interlayer an electrical connection element 4 of the AMOLED screen. The OLED screen 3 is sandwiched between the outer glass sheet 1 and the inner glass sheet 1 '. It has a display area 32 'framed by one or two, three or four technical edges) in narrow peripheral fringes 34, 34' of width generally of at least 0.5 mm (and preferably less than 1 cm). ). The AMOLED screen 3, flexible and directly extended to an edge of the glazing, by the connecting element 4 which is connected to it and extends out of the lamination.
It is powered by an electrical connection element 4 of the AMOLED screen 3 which comprises: a flexible part called connection 40 between the face F2 and the face F3 within the lamination interlayer with a front surface 42 on the front side F3 and a rear surface 41 on the face F2, of thickness E4 less than that E2 of the lamination interlayer connected to the AMOLED screen and extending the AMOLED screen towards the edge of the second glazing 1 ', - extended out of the edge of the second glazing via a so-called outer portion 45 curved and fixed by gluing (opposite F4 without extending to the display area 32 'via a portion 47 terminated by its connector 8 in a zone accessible at the time of assembly The connection element 4 is a flexible printed circuit (in English: "Flexible Printed Circuit" (FPC) capable of implementing 2560 × 1600 pixels (AMOLED screen) .The FPC 4 could advantageously be same width as the AMOLED screen 3, so as to facilitate the insertion of the two elements in the lamination interlayer (a little behind the glass edges).
The inner glass 1 'has a notch 11'. The dimensions of the notch 11 'are adapted to the FPC 4: - width of the notch 11' greater than or equal to that of the FPC 4; - Depth of the notch 11 'greater than or equal to the thickness of the FPC 4 preferably to prevent the FPC 4 is visible from the outside in case of apparent edge.
In practice the depth of the notch 11 'is between 1.5mm and 2mm. The area of the notch 11 'is substantially free of lamination interlayer. The AMOLED screen 3 has for example a thickness E3. The connector portion 40 may be less thick. It is optionally covered or coated with any material to increase (if necessary) the thickness E4 to a value substantially equal to E3. If E4 equals 0.4mm, E3 is 0.38 to 0.40mm. For example, for the lamination, a central sheet 22 of 0.38 mm with a reserve for accommodating the AMOLED screen and the connector part and two outer sheets 22, 23 of 0.17 mm or 0.38 mm are used. One of the outer sheets may be thicker eg 0.76mm.
We can have more than 3 sheets (if insertion of a polymeric film like a PET etc) or for more mechanical protection.
When the AMOLED screen has a thickness of at most 0.15mm or even 0.2mm, it is possible to delete the central sheet at assembly.
The first glazing (outside) 1 comprises an outer masking layer 5 facing F2, opaque, black enamel preferably, -with an edge 51 towards the center of the windshield - and an edge 52 edge edge of the glazing 15 for example at most 3 or 1mm from the edge 15.
It hides not only the adhesive bead 7 'of the gasket 7 "but also the AMOLED screen 3 (opaque or weakly transparent), the connection part 40 and the non-glazed part 45 of the FPC and the part 47 and its connector 8 .
The outer masking layer 5 is preferably a solid area (a solid area) rather than a pattern network. Beyond the edge 51 it can be extended by a pattern of patterns (of the same material) for example gradient over a width of at most 15mm and even 5mm and even greater if the edge 15 is the lower longitudinal edge.
The second glazing T (inside) comprises opposite face F4 an internal masking layer 6 opposite F4 (or alternatively F3), opaque, preferably black enamel, with an edge 61 towards the center of the windshield-an edge 65 notch side.
This internal masking layer 6 masks the entire surface of the connector portion 40, in particular that which is in the viewing zone (outside the zone with trim or possible housing). It can be wider than the connection part. . This internal masking layer also hides from the inside the technical edges 34, 34 'of the AMOLED screen. It may exceed for example of at most 10mm opposite the lamination interlayer around the edges of the technical edges to hide flaws.
When the internal masking layer 6 is thus on the periphery of the AMOLED screen 3, an opening 63 (masking or post-fabrication of the layer) has thus been formed, leaving the display area 32 'visible.
It can also exceed more widely technical edges to be of width (almost equal) to that of the external masking layer 5 on either side of the AMOLED screen (and / or the connector portion).
The internal masking layer 6 is preferably a solid area (a flat area) rather than a pattern network. Beyond the edge 61 it may be extended by a pattern of patterns (of the same material) for example in gradient on a width of at most 15mm and even 5mm and even greater if the edge of the notch 11 'is the lower longitudinal edge.
The touch control zone 70 is here shifted from the AMOLED screen (at the bottom if AMOLED screen in the up position). It exceeds (or not) the edge of the internal masking 61 is described for example a switch (out of reduced area B).
Is read behind the AMOLED screen 3 and the connector portion 40, a conductive film 95 which comprises a transparent flexible film such as a PET, PEN of thickness 10 .mu.m to 1 mm, better from 30 pm to 200 pm carrying electrical conductors for example metal (copper etc) leading to the touch control area 70 '(the same metal as copper etc); The electrical conductors are for example in the form of metal tracks (copper etc.) 1mm wide. The width of the switch 70 is for example 4cm
The width of the conductive film 95 may be greater than or equal to that of the AMOLED screen 3 or lower (masked edges).
The conductive film 95 preferably exceeds the edge 11 'to be connected to an external power supply (in voltage for example from 12 to 15V or else 35V or 45V) and / or an electronic control system (in particular CAN to control area network ").
As an example of a switch design with a power supply conductor, reference can be made to the examples of the patent applications WO2009 / 050519 or WO2015162107 (particularly in connection with FIGS. 1B or 1C or 2A or even 3B), especially in connection with FIGS. Figures 1B or 2A or even 3).
Alternatively a wire (curved in a circle at one end and forming a spiral) may alternatively be used, for example having a diameter of 70 μm.
Alternatively the conductive wire is attached (against or glued to the face F2) or the AMOLED screen and the connection part
Alternatively this conductive film is shifted from the AMOLED screen, adjacent (spaced or stuck) for example in the same plane (and even reduced to the same thickness) as the AMOLED screen. At the limit it can be an extension of a technical edge 33.
Figure 2a is a schematic front view and detail of a windshield with AMOLED screen of a motor vehicle, view on the inside.

The opaque film 6 'constitutes: a masking of the FPC 40, opaque or weakly transparent, and of the junction between the PVB 22 (central part) and the AMOLED screen 3, which may comprise irregularities and faults, as well as a masking 6T, 62 'of the technical edges 34 of the AMOLED screen 3, seen from the inside of the windshield.
The opaque film 6 'may also be an opaque extension of the transparent polymeric material covering the AMOLED screen, i.e., to be an integral part thereof.
The opaque film 6 'may alternatively or cumulatively be an extension of the polymeric material covering the FPC, that is to say, be an integral part thereof.
Furthermore, the face F3 is provided with an electroconductive layer 9 and possibly a current supply 9 'for it; this layer may consist of a stack reflecting solar radiation, silver or other, or a coating / heating stack provided for this purpose with its current supply 9 '.
