Abstract

A vehicle window glass has a glass plate, a conductive film laminated on the glass plate and an antenna structured with a feeding structure placed on the conductive film, and is characterized in that the feeding structure has a dielectric and a pair of electrodes, that the conductive film has a slot one end of which makes an upper edge of the conductive film an open end, and is disposed between the glass plate and the dielectric, and that the pair of electrodes are disposed on the opposite side of the side of the conductive film with the dielectric in between so that the slot is sandwiched between the pair of electrodes when the pair of electrodes are projected onto the conductive film, and are capacitively coupled to the conductive film.

Claims (31)

1. A vehicle window glass comprising:

a glass plate;

a conductive film laminated on the glass plate; and

an antenna structured with a feeding structure placed on the conductive film, wherein the feeding structure has a dielectric and a pair of electrodes;

one electrode of the pair of electrodes is connected with a signal line, and another electrode of the pair of electrodes is connected with a ground line;

the conductive film has a slot one end of which makes an end portion of the conductive film an open end, and is disposed between the glass plate and the dielectric; and

the pair of electrodes are disposed on an opposite side of a side of the conductive film with the dielectric in between so that the slot is sandwiched between the pair of electrodes when the pair of electrodes are projected onto the conductive film, and are capacitively coupled to the conductive film.

2. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive film has an independent slot close to the slot.

3. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric is another glass plate different from the glass plate.

4. The vehicle window glass according to claim 3 , wherein

an intermediate film is provided between the glass plate and the other glass plate.

5. The vehicle window glass according to claim 4 , wherein

an intermediate film is provided between the glass plate and the conductive film.

6. The vehicle window glass according to claim 3 , wherein

the conductive film is formed on a surface on a side facing a glass plate side of the other glass plate.

7. The vehicle window glass according to claim 4 , wherein an intermediate film is provided between the other glass plate and the conductive film.

8. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric is a resin substrate made of a resin.

9. The vehicle window glass according to claim 8 , wherein a bonding layer for bonding the conductive film and the resin substrate together is provided.

10. The vehicle window glass according to claim 8 , wherein a bonding layer for bonding the conductive film and the glass plate together is provided.

11. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive film is formed on the glass plate.

12. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein an outer edge of the conductive film is offset inward with respect to an outer edge of the glass plate.

13. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein a shielding film is disposed between the glass plate and the pair of electrodes.

14. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the slot is provided more than one in number.

15. An antenna comprising:

a glass plate;

a conductive film laminated on the glass plate; and

a feeding structure provided on the conductive film, wherein:

the feeding structure has a dielectric and a pair of electrodes;

one electrode of the pair of electrodes is connected with a signal line, and another electrode of the pair of electrodes is connected with a ground line;

the conductive film has a slot one end of which makes an end portion of the conductive film an open end, and is disposed between the glass plate and the dielectric; and

the pair of electrodes are disposed on an opposite side of a side of the conductive film with the dielectric in between so that the slot is sandwiched between the pair of electrodes when the pair of electrodes are projected onto the conductive film, and are capacitively coupled to the conductive film.
