Abstract:
1. A glazing, comprising: a first sheet comprising mineral or organic glass comprising a first main face, a second main face, and an edge; a peripheral light source comprising an emitting face selected from the group consisting of an optical fiber and light emitting diodes that comprises a semiconductor chip on a support section of the diodes, the emitting face facing a side of the second main face, which is an injection side for a propagation of an injected visible and/or ultraviolet (UV) light into the thickness of the first sheet, which guides injected light; a zone, which is made luminous by injected light or UV, formed by a fluid-tight cap, which covers the peripheral light source and is impermeable to liquid water or water vapor, wherein the fluid-tight cap essentially faces the second face, and is joined by a fastening element to the first sheet, and/or to a connecting part or element bound to the first sheet, wherein the cap is in contact with or integrated with an interfacial sealing element that is impermeable to liquid water or water vapor and comprises an inner face oriented toward the second main face; and wherein, optionally, said glazing comprises a peripheral functional element bonded to the first sheet, which is a fluid-tight overmolding or a fluid-tight preassembled element.
