Abstract
A heating structure (1) configured to be installed inside a passenger compartment of a vehicle is disclosed. The heating structure (1) includes at least one resistive layer arranged so as to release heat when an electric current passes through this layer (4), this panel further comprising an electrode array (5) comprising a plurality of contact electrodes (6) arranged so as to be in electrical contact with the resistive layer in order to allow electric current to flow through this resistive layer.

A heating structure configured be installed inside a passenger compartment of a vehicle, the structure comprising a radiant panel comprising:
- at least one resistive layer arranged so as to release heat when an electric current passes through this layer;
- an electrode array comprising a plurality of contact electrodes arranged so as to be in electrical contact with the resistive layer in order to allow electric current to flow through this resistive layer,
- wherein the resistive layer is provided with a greater thickness, at least locally, than the thickness of at least some of the contact electrodes, such that the resistive layer at least partially covers the at least some of the contact electrodes.
