The material of the shielding layer 15 is selected from at least one of dark-colored ink, opaque polymer film, and light-adjustable film.

[0062] The dark-colored ink can be ceramic ink or ultraviolet ink, which is printed on the second surface 112 and / or the third surface 131 and / or the fourth surface 132 by a process such as screen printing, inkjet printing, etc., and forms the shielding layer 15 after curing or high-temperature sintering; the thickness of the shielding layer 15 formed by the dark-colored ink is 5μm-40μm.

[0063] The opaque polymer film can be a bulk-colored polymer film, for example, adding a black or brown coloring component in the polymer film manufacturing process, etc.; can also be a polymer film printed with a surface ink, paint or pigment, for example, printing a black ink, black paint or brown pigment on the surface of the polymer film, etc.; can also be a dyed or colored polymer film, for example, coloring the polymer film with black or brown dye, etc.; the material of the polymer film can be polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), etc.; the opaque polymer film is arranged in the bonding layer 12, for example, the bonding layer 12 can be two pieces of thermoplastic polymer film, and the opaque polymer film is sandwiched between the two pieces of thermoplastic polymer film.

[0064] The light modulation film can be a polymer dispersed liquid crystal film (PDLC), a suspended particle film (SPD), an electrochromic film (EC), a dye liquid crystal film (LC), etc. The minimum visible light transmittance of the light modulation film is less than or equal to 3%, for example, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%, 0%. In addition, the maximum visible light transmittance of the light modulation film is set as needed, for example, 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 80%, etc. Specifically, for example: the visible light transmittance of the light modulation film can be adjusted between 0% and 20%, or between 0.5% and 50%, or between 0% and 70%, etc. The light modulation film can meet the requirements of visible light transmittance in multiple scenarios, for example, when black edge display is required, the light modulation film is in an opaque state (visible light transmittance is less than or equal to 3%, or even 0%), which improves the contrast between the display image and the display background, and when no display is performed, the light modulation film is in a transparent state (visible light transmittance is greater than or equal to 70%), which realizes greater area transparency of the vehicle window glass; the light modulation film is arranged in the bonding layer 12, for example, the bonding layer 12 can be two pieces of thermoplastic polymer film, and the light modulation film is sandwiched between the two pieces of thermoplastic polymer film.

[0065] The reflective layer 20 is farther away from the edge of the glass substrate 10 than the shielding layer 15. The distance L from the reflective layer 20 to the edge of the glass substrate 10 is greater than or equal to 3 mm, for example, 3 mm, or 4 mm, or 5 mm, or 6 mm, or 7 mm, or 8 mm, or 9 mm, or 10 mm, etc. Preferably, the distance L from the reflective layer 20 to the edge of the glass substrate 10 is greater than or equal to 5 mm.

For example, the sunshade layer is located in the colored area. For another example, the sunshade layer is located in the colored area and the non-colored area. The total solar energy transmittance TTS of the panoramic glass corresponding to the colored area is ≤35% to reduce the use rate of the cooling device in the vehicle and use more energy of the vehicle for driving to improve the mileage of the vehicle.

[0070] The application also provides a vehicle including a vehicle body and the panoramic glass provided in the above-mentioned application, and the panoramic glass is disposed on the vehicle body.
