Abstract

A composite pane is described. The composite pane has a first pane, at least one intermediate layer, a second pane, a transparent, electrically conductive first coating between the intermediate layer and the first pane and/or between the intermediate layer and the second pane, a first busbar and a second busbar, and a transparent, electrically conductive second coating.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A composite pane, comprising:
a first pane, at least one intermediate layer, and second pane,
a transparent, electrically conductive first coating between the at least one intermediate layer and the first pane and/or between the at least one intermediate layer and the second pane, and
a first busbar and a second busbar, which are connected to the transparent, electrically conductive first coating, the first busbar being connected to a ground potential and the second busbar being connected to a DC voltage of 75 V to 450 V or an AC voltage of 25 V to 450 V,
wherein an area of the transparent, electrically conductive first coating and an area of a transparent, electrically conductive second coating are arranged one over another with at least 80% congruence and insulated from each other,
wherein the transparent, electrically conductive second coating is connected via at least one third busbar to the ground potential, and
wherein the transparent, electrically conductive second coating has a low emissivity of less than 50% that is provided by a layer system that includes:
i) at least one functional layer based on at least one metal from the group, consisting of niobium, tantalum, and zirconium, and
ii) a dielectric layer arranged on a vehicle interior side of the at least one functional layer.

2. The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent electrically conductive second coating is arranged on a side of an intermediate layer opposite the transparent, electrically conductive first coating.

3. The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent, electrically conductive second coating is arranged on an outer side of the first pane and/or an outer side of the second pane.

4. The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent, electrically conductive second coating is connected via an insulating layer to the transparent, electrically conductive first coating.

5. The composite pane according to claim 4 , wherein a front of the transparent, electrically conductive first coating is connected via the insulating layer to the transparent, electrically conductive second coating and a back of the transparent, electrically conductive first coating is connected via another insulating layer to another transparent, electrically conductive second coating.

6. The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the first pane and/or the second pane include glass, or mixtures thereof.

7. The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent, electrically conductive first coating has a sheet resistance of 1 ohm/square to 10 ohm/square, and/or the transparent, electrically conductive second coating has a sheet resistance of 0.4 ohm/square to 10 ohm/square.

8. The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent, electrically conductive first coating and/or the transparent, electrically conductive second coating include silver, indium tin oxide, fluorinated tin oxide, or aluminum-doped zinc oxide.

9. The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent, electrically conductive first coating has n incisions, wherein n is a whole number >1 such that a resistance of the transparent, electrically conductive first coating has a heating output of 300 W/m 2 to 4000 W/m 2 at a DC voltage of 75 V to 450 V or an AC voltage of 25 V to 450 V.

10. The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the transparent, electrically conductive first coating and an area of the transparent, electrically conductive second coating are arranged congruently one above the other or the area of the transparent, electrically conductive second coating protrudes beyond the area of the transparent, electrically conductive first coating.

11. The composite pane according to claim 1 , wherein the second busbar is connected to a DC voltage of 120 V to 450 V or an AC voltage of 50 V to 450 V.

12. A method for producing the composite pane according to claim 1 , comprising:
laminating the first pane, the intermediate layer, the second pane, at least one transparent, electrically conductive first coating, at least one transparent, electrically conductive second coating, the first busbar, the second busbar, and the third busbar to each other, and
connecting the at least one transparent, electrically conductive first coating via the first busbar, connecting the at least one transparent, electrically conductive second coating via the third busbar to a ground potential, and connecting the at least one transparent, electrically conductive first coating via a second busbar to a DC voltage of 75 V to 450 V or an AC voltage of 25 V to 450 V.

13. A method comprising:
