DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0030] In the figures, the same structural elements each have the same reference numerals.

[0031] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a laminated glass pane 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention in the region of the mirror base plate bracket 2 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The laminated glass pane 1 has a black print grid 4 in the region of the mirror base plate bracket 2. An antenna 6 or an antenna structure 6 is integrated in the black print grid 4. In FIG. 1, the antenna 6 is shown highlighted for clarity. In this case, the antenna structure 6 may have the same shape as the black print grid 4. By overlaying the black print grid 4 on the antenna structure 6, the antenna structure 6 can be concealed or covered. As a result, the antenna structure 6 arranged in the region of the mirror base plate bracket 2 on or in the laminated glass pane 1 is imperceptible, for example, to a driver.

[0032] FIG. 2 shows a schematic cross section of a laminated glass pane 1 according to a further embodiment of the present invention. Here, the laminated glass pane 1 is shown in the region of the mirror base plate bracket 2. According to the exemplary embodiment, a film 12 and an antenna structure 6 are arranged between a first glass layer 8 and a second glass layer 10 between two black print grids 4. The film 12 serves for mechanically reinforcing the laminated glass pane 1. The antenna structure 6 is here covered on both sides by a respective black print grid 4. For electrically connecting the antenna structure 6 to an electrical connection or line 16, the antenna structure 6 has at least one contact point 14. According to the exemplary embodiment, the black print grid 4 and the antenna structure 6 are protected on both sides by the first glass layer 8 and the second glass layer 10.

[0033] FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross section of a laminated glass pane 1 according to a further embodiment of the present invention. In contrast to the laminated glass pane 1 already shown in FIG. 2, the antenna structure 6 with the black print grids 4 arranged around the antenna structure 6 on both sides is not positioned between the two glass layers 8, 10 but on an outer surface of the second glass layer 10. In this way, a conventional laminated glass pane can be retrofitted with an antenna structure 6 concealed on both sides by a black-and-white print grid 4.

[0034] FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross section of a laminated glass pane 1 according to a further embodiment of the present invention. In contrast to the embodiments of the laminated glass pane 1 already shown, the antenna structure 6 concealed on both sides by a respective black print grid 4 is arranged here between the first glass layer 8 and the film 12. In this case, the respective black print grid 4 and the antenna structure 6 can be arranged between the first glass layer 8 and the second glass layer 10 in the context of a manufacturing process of the laminated glass pane 1.

[0035] FIG. 5 shows a schematic cross section of a laminated glass pane 1 according to a further embodiment of the present invention. In contrast to the embodiment of the laminated glass pane 1 shown in FIG. 4, the antenna structure 6 in this case is only covered on one side by a black print grid 4. The antenna structure 6 is colored here with a color of the black print grid 4, so that the antenna structure 6 is imperceptible on both sides despite concealment on one side by a black print grid 4.
