'''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.

# Lamination of the glasses according the specification mentioned above{{fact|date=October 2011}}
Because most of the glass companies are not skilled to mount LEDs (light emitting diodes) onto metallized glass, it makes sense to locate the LEDs on a separate transparent conductive polymeric interlayer<ref>D.

In other words, the remaining process for glass lamination units will consist of laminating together standard glass using 2 layers of thermoplastic interlayers to sandwich ready to use LED-embedded films. This process will be quite similar for 3D curved LED–glass<ref>[http://www.ledglass.ch Video with 3D curved laminated LED–glass]</ref>. The final specification will be:
