Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to a vehicle glazing (e.g., vehicle windshield) having an opaque enamel printed opening for an information acquisition system and a darkening source within the opaque enamel printed opening to reduce optical transmittance distortion and improve performance of information acquisition systems (e.g., an imaging system, electric sensor(s), video camera(s), distance sensor(s)) associated with a vehicle. The darkening source, which may not undergo extreme heat treatment above 500 deg. C., provides a darkening source open area within the opaque enamel print open area, wherein the darkening source open area provides an opening through which the information acquisition system may receive information from outside a vehicle.
