'''LED-embedded glass''' is a [[composite material]] containing [[light-emitting diode]]s (LEDs). It is used as building material and as glass type for many different products. This new technology enables materials, new applications in electronics and architecture. Due to the use of a cold curing pick and place process, this technology is also related to electronics manufacturing and electronics engineering. This article is focusing on published specifications enabling [[building material]]s which will meet security and legislation aspects of [[laminated glass]].

==Composite specification==

Line 43 ⟶ 34:

Within this last specification mentioned above, the 2 thermoplastic layers together with the LED interlayer will reach a total thickness of about 2 mm. The usually very economical PVB is the most used [[Laminated glass|lamination interlayer]]. Its lamination is based on a nip roller pre-heating step followed by an autoclaving process with a final stage ideally below 125 °C and 14 athmospheres. However, polyester has a better adhesion to [[Thermoplastics polyurethanes (TPU)|TPU]], to [[Ethylene-vinyl acetate|EVA]] or to EVASafe[http://www.bridgestone.com/products/diversified/evasafe/index.html EVASAfe], which are often laminated using simple vacuum tables. EVASafe contain some hygroscopic crosslinking agent, which will allow its partial crosslinking to active sites of the substrates. TPU may be used up to 125 °C. EVASafe should be used below 110 °C. These transparent conductive thermoplastics may also be used for [[Transparent_heating_film|transparent heating]] of glass laminates.
