An electrically heatable pane with a switch region is presented. The pane has a transparent substrate, with at least one transparent electrically conductive layer that is, at least partially, arranged on a surface of the pane. At least one separating line electrically divides the layer into a heating region and a switch region. At least two busbars are provided for connection to a voltage source. The busbars being connected to the heating region, form a current path between the busbars. A heating current can therefore flow through the current path. Furthermore, the switch region has at least one contact region, a feed line region, and a connection region, where the connection region can be connected to sensor electronics.

A transparent pane having an electrically heatable coating and at least one coating-free zone that can be used, for example, as communication window, is presented. The electrically heatable coating is connected to two collecting electrodes, such that a supply voltage applied to the electrodes generates a heating current that flows via a heating field formed between the collecting electrodes, the heating field containing the coating-free zone whose zone-edge is formed, at least in sections, by the heatable coating. Other implementation details include provision of two electrical supply lines electrically connecting the two collecting electrodes to separate subdivisions of an additional electrode. In one case, the electrical supply lines run, at least in sections, in the heating field, in the coating-free zone, in a coating-free edge strip, in a subregion of the coating outside the heating field, and/or in the zone-edge. Methods for producing the transparent pane are also presented.

A glazing comprises first and second busbars for connection to an electrical supply; a third busbar between the first and second busbars; plural conductors electrically connected to the first busbar; wherein a first group of the conductors extends from the first busbar to the third busbar to form a first resistor; a second group of the conductors extends from a side of the third busbar facing the second busbar and is electrically connected to the second busbar to form a second resistor; fewer conductors extend from the side of the third busbar facing the second busbar than extend from a side of the third busbar facing the first busbar; at least one gap on one side of the third busbar opposite a conductor on the other side and an information acquisition area between the third busbar and the second busbar, the at least one gap being outside the information acquisition area.

The present disclosure provides a system and a method to deliver (irradiate) energy and defrost the surface of a glazing that does not require printed conductors, embedded wires, bus bar or conductive film. The present disclosure uses the optical phenomenon known as Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) to deliver light energy directly to a surface of at least one glass layer of a windshield, glazing or other transparent substrate by means of high intensity light. The light is injected into the surface of at least one glass layer of the glazing at an angle that allows for light propagation via Total Internal Reflection (TIR). The light energy can be used as the sole source of energy or be complementary to a conductive coated resistive heated circuit and/or hot air blowing system.
