Abstract

A holographic windshield (10) includes an inner glass ply (36) having an inner flexible optically transparent inner interlayer (42) overlaid upon its inner surface (40). A middle flexible transparent interlayer (44) is overlaid upon the inner interlayer. The middle interlayer has an opening (46) formed therein. A flexible hologram (12) is fitted within the opening in the middle interlayer. An outer interlayer (48) is overlaid upon the middle interlayer including the flexible hologram. An outer glass ply (50) is overlaid upon the outer interlayer. The two glass plies are bonded together to form a unitary article. Also disclosed is a method for processing a holographic combiner to withstand a windshield construction process employing lamination techniques.
