Abstract
A laminated glass comprises first and second glass sheets and a ply of interlayer material disposed therebetween, a conductive strip disposed on the ply of interlayer material, a connector arranged at an edge of the second glass sheet, a ceramic ink layer on a surface of the second glass sheet not facing the ply of interlayer material and partly obscuring the conductive strip, a gap in the ceramic ink layer configured so that the conductive strip is in contact with the connector in the gap. Also, there is a method for manufacturing the laminated glass and use of the laminated glazing.
Claims19
A laminated glass, comprising:
- first and second glass sheets and a ply of interlayer material disposed therebetween;
- a conductive strip disposed on the ply of interlayer material;
- a connector arranged at an edge of the second glass sheet;
- a ceramic ink layer on a surface (S4) of the second glass sheet not facing the ply of interlayer material and partly obscuring the conductive strip;
- a gap in the ceramic ink layer configured so that the conductive strip is in contact with the connector in the gap.
A method for manufacturing a laminated glass, comprising:
- providing first and second glass sheets and disposing a ply of interlayer material between the first and second glass sheets;
- disposing a conductive strip on the ply of interlayer material or on the second glass sheet;
- arranging a connector at an edge of the second glass sheet for connecting with an external circuit;
- depositing a ceramic ink layer on a surface of the second glass sheet not facing the ply of interlayer material and partly obscuring the conductive strip;
- and
- configuring a gap in the ceramic ink layer so that the conductive strip is in contact with the connector in the gap.
