Abstract
An illuminating glazing unit includes a first sheet having a first main face, a second main face and an edge face; a second sheet having a first main face, a second main face and an edge face; a lamination interlayer having an extent smaller than that of each of the glass sheets and defining a space between the edge of the second main face of the first sheet and the edge of the first main face of the second sheet; a strip of LEDs, including a printed circuit board and a plurality of LEDs, positioned so that the emitting faces of the LEDs face the edge face of the first sheet; and an encapsulating element made of an opaque polymer encapsulating at least the edge face of the second sheet and the LED strip. The PCB bears against the first main face of the second glass sheet with a plurality of spacers and the space is filled by the opaque polymer.
