Laminated windshields consist of 3 pieces. Two pieces of glass and a piece of laminate in between. This is done so when the windshield shatters or breaks, it stays together. Therefore large pieces of glass do not get on passengers and it also acts as a barrier to keep some things from coming into the vehicle after the glass is broken. The laminate can also be tinted which is how some windshields have the tinted strip across the top.
