Abstract:
A special windshield and windows installed to a vehicle for imposing a filter between the interior of a vehicle to include driver and passenger(s) and a source of external sunlight exposed directly to the vehicle. A direct exposure to sunlight will caused windshield and windows to turn darker as a result, the interior of a car will be kept at a low temperature and driver and passenger(s) are not exposed to sunlight. A filter, such as photochromic is imposed between the source of light and the interior of the vehicle. Silver Halide or Silver Chloride is the active ingredients that cause the lenses to darken.

Abstract:
There are disclosed an improved method for production of a polarizing glass having a high extinction ratio by facilitating control of the diameter of silver halide particles in a mother glass with high Ag concentration, and a polarizing glass produced by the method. The glass is a polarizing glass having dispersed and oriented geometrically anisotropic metallic silver particles at least in its surface layer, which is characterized by not containing TiO2 exceeding 1.7 wt % but containing not less than 0.4 wt % Ag, and in that Ag and halogens contained therein satisfy the following relations: the molar ratio of Ag/(Cl+Br) is 0.2 to 1.0; the molar ratio of Cl/(Cl+Br+F) 0.5 to 0.95; and the molar ratio of Br/(Cl+Br+F) 0.05 to 0.4. The method for production comprises the steps of drawing a glass containing dispersed AgClxBr1-x crystals, and then reducing it under a reducing atmosphere.

Abstract:
Method of making polarizing glass having integral polarizing and non-polarizing regions disclosed. The method involves applying a protective glass/frit material capable of blocking reducing gas to the surface of the glass to form a desired pattern, exposing the glass to a reducing gas atmosphere to render unprotected glass polarizing, and removing the protective glass/frit material to reveal underlying non-polarizing regions.

Abstract:
The invention relates to high energy beam-sensitive glass articles exhibiting insensitivity and/or inertness to actinic radiation, glass articles which are darkened and/or colored within a thin surface layer of about 0.1-3 .mu.m upon exposure to a high energy beam, electron beam, and ion beams in particular, without a subsequent development step, and which need no fixing to stabilize the colored image, since both the recorded image and the glass article are insensitive to radiation in the spectral range of uv and longer wavelengths. The instant invention is concerned with Ag.sup.+ ion-exchanged glass articles having base glass within alkali metal silicate composition fields containing at least one of the oxides of transition metals which have one to four d-electrons in an atomic state. The base glass composition can be varied widely, spontaneous reduction as well as photo-reduction of Ag.sup.+ ions are inhibited and/or eliminated due to the presence of said transition metal oxides in the glass article. The product of the invention is suitable for use as recording and archival storage medium and as phototools. The recorded images and/or masking patterns are up-datable, can be any single color seen in the visible spectrum, and is erasable by heat at temperatures above about 200.degree. C. Heat erasure mode of recording in the high energy beam darkened glass article using a high intensity light beam, focused laser beam in particular, is described.
