[0127] According to the invention, composite panes having a sun shading coating structured according to the invention are provided which were successfully improved in terms of energy and electrical properties, thermal and visual comfort, and at the same time in terms of aesthetic appearance and were further optimized compared to known composite panes having sun shading coatings. Total transmitted thermal radiation (TTS) of less than 45% was achieved such that the corresponding frequently requested customer specification can be met. In addition, light transmittance TL72.5% was achieved such that the composite pane can be used as a windshield; and also when combined with common wire heaters, the legal requirement TL70% is achieved. In addition, optimum aesthetic appearance without undesirable color tones in the reflection of the composite pane is achieved. In particular, undesirable red, yellow, violet, and green reflections or hazing of the composite pane can be avoided. A substantially constant, desirable color reflection of the composite pane can be achieved regardless of the viewing angle. Furthermore, the sun shading coatings according to the invention have sheet resistance between 1.0 /sq and 1.5 /sq and are thus well suited for heating with a supply voltage of 42 V.
[0128] To further illustrate the advantages of the thickness combination of the silver layers, exemplary optical and energy properties of silver coatings with the respective thickness ratios indicated are reported in Table 3. The thickness of the dielectric modules and the order of the layers in the layer stack are identical in each case.
TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 3 Overview of the optical properties TL, TTS, RL 60, and the external reflection color at 60 for the various possible thickness ratios of the silver layers Ag1, Ag2, and Ag3. Permutations Ag TL TTS RL 60 a*R 60 b*R 60 Ag1 > Ag2 > Ag3 73.1 43.4 17.9 8.0 1.5 Ag1 > Ag3 > Ag2 69.3 43.3 21.3 13.6 5.7 Ag2 > Ag1 > Ag3 74.6 42.9 17.1 1.0 3.5 Ag2 > Ag3 > Ag1 72.7 42.4 19.6 0.2 3.6 Ag3 > Ag1 > Ag2 67.6 42.7 23.9 11.8 11.8 Ag3 > Ag2 > Ag1 69.5 42.3 23.0 5.5 11.8 Ag1 = Ag2 = Ag3 (10.7 nm) 72.0 43.2 19.6 7.7 4.4
[0129] As can be seen in Table 3, good optical and energy properties as well as appealing coloration can be achieved only with the thickness ratios of the silver layers according to the invention, with the following stipulation for the thickness of the silver layers: Ag2>Ag1>Ag3. Layers with the following properties are considered acceptable: TL72.5%, TTS45%, RL 6017.5%. In addition, the color coordinates should be the smallest possible and particularly preferably have a negative sign. It can be seen from Table 2 that only for the thickness combination according to the invention with Ag2>Ag1>Ag3, 1.0>Ag1/Ag3 and 1.2<Ag2/Ag3<2 both at a viewing angle of 8 and at a viewing angle of 60, the desired blue reflection color is achieved. In this color range, blue tones, which have a particularly high level of customer acceptance, are obtained.
[0130] Values for a*R 60 between 5.0 and 0 and for b*R 60 also between 8.0 and 0 are particularly advantageous.
[0131]
[0136] In one embodiment, glass panes are used as the outer pane 1 and as the inner pane 2. In a preferred embodiment of the method, the sun shading coating 4 having the at least three functional silver layers Ag1, Ag 2, and Ag3 and the at least four dielectric modules M1, M2, M3 and M4 is applied on the outer surface III of the inner pane 2, preferably by means of magnetron-enhanced cathodic sputtering. If heating of the pane via the sun shading coating 4 is provided, bus bars are provided on the sun shading coating 4 prior to lamination of the pane as well as electrical connection cables that enable electrical contacting of the coating. The joining of the outer pane 1 and the inner pane 2 via the intermediate layer 3 to form the composite glass is preferably done after the sun shading coating 4 has been applied.
