Abstract

The invention relates to a glass pane, comprising at least two individual panes and an adhesive layer located in between them, with the glass pane having a local heating area which only extends over part of the overall area of the pane and which can be heated by means of a heating element.

Claims (5)

1. A glass pane, comprising at least two individual panes and an adhesive layer located between at least two individual panes, the glass pane comprising a local heating area which only extends over part of an overall area of the glass pane, which local heating area is adapted to be heated by way of a heating element, the local heating area being located at a distance from an end face of the glass pane, a distance being selected to prevent additional, thermally induced mechanical stresses, the glass pane further comprising at least two optical functional elements arranged at a distance from one another on a same side of the glass pane and which are adapted to send signals to an opposite side of the glass pane and/or receive signals from the opposite side of the glass pane through a respective one optical transmission region of the glass pane, wherein the local heating area is at least one heating area which extends over both transmission regions which are at a distance from one another, wherein the heating area also completely extends over an intermediate space located between the two transmission regions.

2. The glass pane according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between adjacent transmission regions lies between 100 mm and 20 mm.

3. The glass pane according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate space between adjacent transmission regions is located between two lines which are tangent to contour lines of the transmission regions on a same side of the transmission regions.

4. The glass pane according to claim 2 , wherein the distance between adjacent transmission regions lies between 80 mm and 40 mm.

5. The glass pane according to claim 4 , wherein the distance between adjacent transmission regions lies between 70 mm and 50 mm.
