An automotive transparency includes a first glass ply having a constant
thickness, a second glass ply having a constant thickness, and an
interlayer having a constant thickness in a first predetermined area and a
decreasing thickness in a second predetermined area. The first and second
plies are secured together by the interlayer to form a laminate having a
first outer major surface, an opposing second outer major surface, a first
predetermined area defined by the first predetermined area of the
interlayer over which the outer major surfaces are substantially parallel
to one another, and a second predetermined area defined by the second
predetermined area of the interlayer over which the outer major surfaces
are nonparallel to each other such that images reflected off the
nonparallel surfaces of the laminate are substantially superimposed over
each other to at least reduce double imaging of the reflected image.
