Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

[0001] The disclosure herein relates generally to a window pane for a vehicle and a window pane apparatus for a vehicle. 2. Description of the state of the art

[0002] Vehicle windows are required to be equipped with multi-purpose antennas, such as AM transmission, FM transmission, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast), keyless entry control systems, digital TV transmission, or wide-frequency 4G communication. Due to the limited area of ​​the vehicle window dedicated to antennas, antennas often have a complicated structure and poor appearance.

[0003] Vehicle windows (particularly rear windows) provided with transparent or permeable conductive films that heat the window panes to prevent them from icing or fogging were known. Visibility and appearance of window panes with conductive films are better than those of window panes provided with multiple heating wires. Vehicle windows featuring such conductive films and multipurpose antennas were known (see, for example, US Pat. No. 9,837,699 B2).

[0004] US 2016 / 0 006 112 A1 describes a windshield comprising a glass plate, a dielectric, an electrothermal layer disposed between the glass plate and the dielectric and including a conductive layer and strip electrodes with a lower resistance than that of the conductive layer, an antenna including a pair of electrodes arranged to oppose the electrothermal layer above the dielectric, and a slot, at least a portion of which is formed in one of the strip electrodes such that the slot is disposed between the pair of electrodes in plan view. The strip electrodes are arranged along at least two opposite outer edges of the conductive layer and are DC-coupled to the conductive layer such that the conductive layer is excited via the strip electrodes.One end of the slot is an open end that is open at an outer edge of the electrothermal layer.

[0005] US 2017 / 0 317 399 A1 describes an electrically heatable antenna pane comprising a transparent pane and an electrical heating layer extending over a portion of the pane's surface. The pane serves, at least in sections, as a planar antenna for receiving and / or transmitting electromagnetic waves. A first busbar and a second busbar, which are electrically connected to a voltage source and electrically conductively connected to the heating layer, are also described. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[Technical Problem]

[0006] In the vehicle window pane described in US Pat. No. 9,837,699 B2, in which antenna elements are arranged near the right and left edges of the vehicle window pane, a portion of the antenna elements remains within a driver's field of vision. When the antennas are covered with a black coating to improve their appearance, the field of vision becomes narrower between the black coating near the right and left edges.

[0007] Taking the above-described problems into consideration, the disclosure of the present application aims to provide a window pane for a vehicle having an antenna gain at least for a VHF (Very High Frequency) band, a good appearance, a sufficient field of view, and an anti-fogging effect; and an apparatus incorporating the window pane for a vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that in each embodiment, a direction such as parallel, right angle, orthogonal, horizontal, vertical, upward, downward, right-left, or the like allows a deviation sufficient to maintain the effect of the present invention. A shape of a corner is not limited to a right angle, and the corner may be rounded. The present invention is preferably applied to a rear glass arranged in a rear part of a vehicle. The application of the present invention is not limited to the rear glass, and the present invention can also be applied to a windshield (front glass), a side glass, a sunroof, or the like.

[0011] Hereinafter, a direction parallel to an X axis (X-axis direction), a direction parallel to a Y axis (Y-axis direction), and a direction parallel to a Z axis (Z-axis direction) are assumed to be a right-left direction (horizontal direction) of a glass plate, an up-down direction (vertical direction) of the glass plate, and a direction orthogonal to a surface of the glass plate (normal direction). The X-axis direction is orthogonal to the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, which are orthogonal to each other. [First embodiment]

[0012] Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of a configuration of a window glass for a vehicle according to a first embodiment. Fig.Figure 1 shows the Z axis from a vehicle interior side of the window pane to a vehicle exterior side of the window pane. The window pane 101 is a laminated glass in which a vehicle exterior glass 10 and a vehicle interior glass 20 are laminated via an intermediate film 40. Fig. 1 illustrates members or elements of the window pane 101 which are separated in the normal direction to the surface of the glass plate 10 or the glass plate 20.

[0013] The window pane 101 includes the glass plate 10 arranged on the vehicle outside, the glass plate 20 arranged on the vehicle inside, and a planar conductor 50 arranged inside the laminated glass.

[0014] The glass plates 10 and 20 are transparent dielectrics that have the shape of a flat plate. At least one of the glass plates 10 and 20 can be transparent or clear. Glass plate 10 is an example of a first glass plate, and glass plate 20 is an example of a second glass plate.

[0015] The glass panel 10 has a panel surface 11 and a panel surface 12 opposite each other. The panel surface 11 is a surface of the vehicle interior of the glass panel 10, and the panel surface 12 is a surface of the vehicle exterior of the glass panel 10. The panel surface 12 is the surface of the vehicle exterior of the laminated glass. The glass panel 10 has a transmissive region 14 that transmits visible light. A light-shielding film 13 that shields visible light is disposed on the panel surface 12 outside the transmissive region 14. The light-shielding film will be described later.

[0016] The glass panel 20 has a panel surface 21 facing the panel surface 11 of the glass panel 10 and a panel surface 22 opposite the panel surface 21. The panel surface 21 is a vehicle exterior surface of the glass panel 20, and the panel surface 22 is a vehicle interior surface of the glass panel 20. The panel surface 22 is the vehicle interior surface of the laminated glass. The panel surface 21 is an example of a first surface, and the panel surface 22 is an example of a second surface.

[0017] The intermediate film 40 is a transparent or transmissive dielectric disposed between the glass plate 10 and the glass plate 20. The glass plate 10 and the glass plate 20 are bonded to each other via the intermediate film 40. The intermediate film 40 is made, for example, of a thermoplastic polyvinyl butyral. The relative permittivity of the intermediate film 40 preferably falls within a range of 2.8 to 3.5.

[0018] Fig. Figure 1 illustrates the planar conductor 50 arranged between the glass plate 10 and the glass plate 20. In the embodiment shown in Fig.As illustrated in Figure 1, the planar conductor 50 is disposed between the plate surface 11 of the glass plate 10 and the plate surface 21 of the glass plate 20. The window pane 101 includes a positive electrode 57 connected to the planar conductor 50 and a negative electrode 58 connected to the planar conductor 50. The planar conductor 50 generates heat when an electrical voltage is applied between the positive electrode 57 and the negative electrode 58. According to the heat from the planar conductor 50, the window pane 101 is prevented from freezing and fogging.

[0019] The positive electrode 57 is connected to a left edge of the planar conductor 50, and the negative electrode 58 is connected to a right edge of the planar conductor 50. The positive electrode 57 and the negative electrode 58 may be arranged between the plate surface 11 and the plate surface 21 (see Fig. 1). Alternatively, both the positive electrode 57 and the negative electrode 58 may be arranged on the plate surface 22 (see Fig.2). When the positive electrode 57 is located at the left edge of the plate surface 22, as viewed from the vehicle interior of the window glass, one end of a flat electric wire 53 is connected to the left edge of the flat conductor 50, and the other end of the flat electric wire 53 is connected to the positive electrode 57. When the negative electrode 58 is located at the right edge of the plate surface 22, as viewed from the vehicle interior of the window glass, one end of a flat electric wire 54 is connected to the right edge of the flat conductor 50, and the other end of the flat electric wire 54 is connected to the negative electrode 58.

[0020] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the planar conductor 50 forms a non-separated conductor surface. As shown in Fig.As illustrated in Figure 1, the planar conductor 50 may include a conductive film 55 and a pair of bus bars 51 and 52 connected to the conductive film 55. The conductive film 55 is disposed between the intermediate film 40 and the glass plate 20 and is made of a transparent or transmissive conductor. The conductive film 55 includes a metal film such as an Ag film, a metal oxide film such as ITO (indium tin oxide), a resin film containing conductive fine particles, a laminated body containing various types of films, or the like.

[0021] The conductive film 55 may be prepared by coating a conductive material on a plastic film such as polyethylene terephthalate by a deposition process.

[0022] The conductive film 55 is disposed between the pair of busbars 51 and 52 and heats the windowpane 101. According to a DC voltage applied between the busbars 51 and 52, the conductive film 55 heats the windowpane 101. Thus, melting of ice and snow and removal of fog on the windowpane 101 are performed. For example, the busbar 51, which is disposed on the left edge of the flat conductor 50 as viewed from the vehicle interior of the windowpane, is connected to a positive electrode of a DC power source via the flat electric cable 53. The busbar 52, which is disposed on the right edge of the flat conductor 50 as viewed from the vehicle interior of the windowpane, is connected to a negative electrode of the DC power source via the flat electric cable 54.

[0023] The window pane 101 further includes a supply electrode 33 and a grounding electrode 37 arranged on the surface of the vehicle interior of the laminated glass. The supply electrode 33 is an example of a first supply electrode. The supply electrode 33 is, for example, a conductor pattern on the plate surface 22. The grounding electrode 37 is an example of a first grounding electrode. The grounding electrode 37 is, for example, a conductor pattern on the plate surface 22. As shown in Fig.As illustrated in Figure 1, the supply electrode 33 and the grounding electrode 37 are arranged around the left edge of the plate surface 22, as viewed from the vehicle interior of the window glass, and have rectangular shapes. The supply electrode 33 and the grounding electrode 37 may have other shapes, such as circular or polygonal shapes.

[0024] The feeding electrode 33 and the grounding electrode 37 are directed toward the planar conductor 50 via the glass plate 20, so that the planar conductor 50 receives at least electromagnetic waves of the VHF band. At least a portion of the planar conductor 50 functions as a radiation conductor that receives electromagnetic waves of the VHF band. The feeding electrode 33 and the grounding electrode 37, which are directed toward the planar conductor 50 via the glass plate 20, form an inverted-F antenna to which power is supplied via capacitive coupling. The feeding electrode 33 and the grounding electrode 37 are directed toward the planar conductor 50 via the glass plate 20, so that the inverted-F antenna that receives at least electromagnetic waves of the VHF band is formed. Thus, the window pane 101 has an antenna gain for the VHF band.

[0025] The VHF band is a frequency band that falls within a range of 30 MHz to 300 MHz. Electromagnetic waves of the VHF band include, for example, FM transmission waves and DAB Band III electromagnetic waves. The feeding electrode 33 and the grounding electrode 37 may be directed toward the planar conductor 50 via the glass plate 20 so that the planar conductor 50 receives at least FM transmission waves. Alternatively, the feeding electrode 33 and the grounding electrode 37 may be directed toward the planar conductor 50 via the glass plate 20 so that the planar conductor 50 receives at least DAB Band III electromagnetic waves.

[0026] An antenna gain for FM transmission waves is preferably -15 dB or more, regardless of the polarization of the electromagnetic waves, to obtain sufficient reception sensitivity, and more preferably -12 dB or more. Furthermore, an antenna gain for DAB Band III electromagnetic waves is preferably -10 dB or more, regardless of the polarization of the electromagnetic waves, to obtain sufficient reception sensitivity, and more preferably -7 dB or more.

[0027] The supply electrode 33 can be configured to receive at least electromagnetic waves of the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band. The supply electrode 33 functions as a radiation conductor that receives at least electromagnetic waves of the UHF band. The supply electrode 33 provides an antenna for both the VHF and UHF bands.

[0028] The UHF band is a frequency band that falls within a range of 300 MHz to 3 GHz. Electromagnetic waves of the UHF band include, for example, terrestrial digital television waves and L-band electromagnetic waves of DAB. Thus, the feeding electrode 33 can be configured to receive at least terrestrial digital television waves. Alternatively, the feeding electrode 33 can be configured to receive at least L-band electromagnetic waves of DAB.

[0029] An antenna gain for terrestrial digital television (DTV) waves is preferably -10 dB or more, regardless of polarizations of electromagnetic waves, for obtaining sufficient reception sensitivity, and more preferably -7 dB or more.

[0030] At least a part of the supplying electrode 33, which in Fig.1, is directed to at least one of the bus bar 51 and the conductive film 55 via the glass plate 20. A first input unit of an amplifier 60 is connected to the supplying electrode 33. At least a part of the grounding electrode 37 is directed to at least one of the bus bar 51 and the conductive film 55 via the glass plate 20. The grounding electrode 37 is connected to the ground level. Thus, a signal output from the planar conductor 50, which receives electromagnetic waves, is input to the first input unit of the amplifier 60 via a capacitive coupling between the planar conductor 50 and the supplying electrode 33. A signal output from the supplying electrode 33, which receives electromagnetic waves, is also input to the first input unit of the amplifier 60.The signal input to the first input unit is output from the amplifier 60, passing through a bandpass filter.

[0031] The window pane 101 may be provided with a supply electrode 35 and a grounding electrode 38, which are arranged on the inner surface of the vehicle and the surface of the vehicle interior of the laminated glass, respectively. The supply electrode 35 is an example of the first supply electrode. The supply electrode 35 is, for example, a conductor pattern on the plate surface 22. The grounding electrode 38 is an example of a first grounding electrode. The grounding electrode 38 is, for example, a conductor pattern on the plate surface 22. As shown in Fig.As illustrated in Figure 1, the supply electrode 35 and the grounding electrode 38 are arranged around the right edge of the plate surface 22, as viewed from the vehicle interior of the window glass, and have rectangular shapes. The supply electrode 35 and the grounding electrode 38 may have other shapes, such as circular shapes or polygonal shapes.

[0032] A diversity antenna or anti-fading antenna is formed by the feeding electrode 35, which has the same structure as the feeding electrode 33, and the grounding electrode 38, which has the same structure as the grounding electrode 37. A description of the structure of the feeding electrode 35 and the grounding electrode 38 is omitted because the descriptions of the structure of the feeding electrode 33 and the grounding electrode 37 can be applied.

[0033] At least a part of the supplying electrode 35, which in Fig. 1 is directed to at least one of the bus bar 52 and the conductive film 55 via the glass plate 20. An input unit of an amplifier 61 is connected to the supplying electrode 35. At least a part of the grounding electrode 38 is directed to at least one of the bus bar 52 and the conductive film 55 via the glass plate 20. The grounding electrode 38 is connected to the ground level. Thus, a signal output from the planar conductor 50, which receives electromagnetic waves, is input to the input unit of the amplifier 61 via a capacitive coupling between the planar conductor 50 and the supplying electrode 35. A signal output from the supplying electrode 35, which receives electromagnetic waves, is also input to the input unit of the amplifier 61.

[0034] The window pane 101 may be provided with a supply electrode 32 arranged on the inner surface of the laminated glass. The supply electrode 32 is an example of a second supply electrode. The supply electrode 32 is, for example, a conductor pattern on the plate surface 22. As shown in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 1, the supply electrode 32 is arranged around the upper edge of the plate surface 22, as viewed from the vehicle interior of the window glass, and has a rectangular shape. The shape is not limited to this, and the supply electrode 32 may have a circular shape, a polygonal shape, or the like.

[0035] The supply electrode 32 is directed toward the planar conductor 50 via the glass plate 20, so that the planar conductor 50 receives at least electromagnetic waves of the MF (medium frequency) band. That is, at least a portion of the planar conductor 50 functions as a radiation conductor that receives or receives electromagnetic waves of the MF band.

[0036] Alternatively, the supply electrode 32 may be directed toward the planar conductor 50 via the glass plate 20, so that the planar conductor 50 receives at least electromagnetic waves of the MF band and electromagnetic waves of the HF (radio frequency) band. That is, at least a portion of the planar conductor 50 functions as a radiation conductor that receives electromagnetic waves of the MF band and electromagnetic waves of the HF band.

[0037] With the feeding electrode 32 having the above-described structure, an antenna that also receives electromagnetic waves of the MF band (or electromagnetic waves of the MF band and electromagnetic waves of the HF band) is formed. The MF band is a frequency band falling within a range of 300 kHz to 3 MHz. Electromagnetic waves of the MF band include, for example, AM transmission waves. The HF band is a frequency band falling within a range of 3 MHz to 30 MHz. The HF band is also referred to as an SW (shortwave) band. The feeding electrode 32 and the planar conductor 50 can be configured to receive at least AM transmission waves. An electric voltage of AM transmission waves is preferably 15 dBµV or more for obtaining sufficient reception sensitivity, and more preferably 18 dBµV or more.

[0038] At least a part of the supplying electrode 32, which in Fig.1, is directed toward at least a portion of the upper edge of the conductive film 55 via the glass plate 20. A second input unit of the amplifier 60 is connected to the supply electrode 32. Thus, a signal output from the planar conductor 50, which receives electromagnetic waves, is input to the second input unit of the amplifier 60 via a capacitive coupling between the planar conductor 50 and the supply electrode 32.

[0039] The window pane 101 may be provided with a supply electrode 39 disposed on the interior surface of the laminated glass. The supply electrode 39 is, for example, a conductor pattern on the plate surface 22 and is disposed outside the supply electrode 32. As shown in Fig.As illustrated in Figure 1, the supply electrode 39 is arranged around the upper edge of the plate surface 22, as viewed from the vehicle interior of the window glass, and has a rectangular shape. The shape is not limited to this, and the supply electrode 39 may have a circular shape, a polygonal shape, or the like.

[0040] The supply electrode 39 can be configured to receive at least electromagnetic waves of the UHF band. That is, the supply electrode 39 can be configured so that the supply electrode 39 itself functions as a radiation conductor that receives electromagnetic waves of the UHF band. Thus, a UHF antenna that receives three channels of signals using the supply electrodes 33, 35, and 39 is formed.

[0041] A part of the supplying electrode 39, which is in Fig.1, may be directed toward the conductive film 55 via the glass plate 20, or may not be directed toward the conductive film 55. A signal output from the supply electrode 39, which receives electromagnetic waves, is input to the input unit of the amplifier 62.

[0042] The glass plate 10 is provided with a light-shielding film 13 that shields visible light. The light-shielding film 13 is arranged along the outer peripheral edge of the glass plate 10. The light-shielding film 13 overlaps with the pair of bus bars 51 and 52; the positive electrode 57; the negative electrode 58; the supply electrodes 32, 33, 35, and 39; and the grounding electrodes 37 and 38 in the thickness direction of the glass plate 10. The light-shielding film 13 specifically includes a ceramic film, such as a black ceramic film. Portions of the pair of bus bars 51 and 52; the positive electrode 57; the negative electrode 58; the supply electrodes 32, 33, 35, and 39; and the grounding electrodes 37 and 38, which are connected to the light-shielding film 13 in the plan view and the plane view of theoverlapping the glass plate 10 are not detected when the window pane 101 is viewed from the vehicle's exterior. In this way, the design characteristics of the window pane 101 and the vehicle are enhanced.

[0043] As described above, in the plan view of the window glass 101, the pair of bus bars 51 and 52; the positive electrode 57; the negative electrode 58; the supplying electrodes 32, 33, 35, and 39; and the grounding electrodes 37 and 38 overlap with the light-shielding film 13. Thus, the appearance of the window glass is enhanced, and a sufficient field of view of the window glass is obtained.

[0044] At least one of the supplying electrodes 32, 33, 35, and 39; and the grounding electrodes 37 and 39 may be formed by printing a material containing a conductive metal such as a silver paste on the plate surface 22 of the glass plate 20 and baking it, or may be formed with a metallic plate (metallic foil).

[0045] An area or region of the supplying electrode 33 or the supplying electrode 35 (hereinafter also referred to as an “area A F “) preferably falls within a range of 420 mm 2 up to 8000 mm 2 to increase the antenna gain for the VHF band. If the area A F less than 420 mm 2 the antenna gain is reduced to a value that is 6 dB lower than the maximum value. If the area A F 8000 mm 2exceeds, ie the size of the feeding electrode 33 (or the feeding electrode 35) increases, a part of the feeding electrode 33 (or a part of the feeding electrode 35) may enter or penetrate into the transmissive region 14 and the appearance may be deteriorated or the field of view may be reduced.

[0046] In order to increase the antenna gain for the VHF band, the area A F preferably 500 mm 2 or more and preferably 1000 mm 2 or more. In addition, to enhance or improve the appearance and increase the field of vision, the area A F preferably 2500 mm 2 or less and preferably 2000 mm 2 or less.

[0047] Fig. 2 is a plan view illustrating an example of a configuration of the window glass (device) for a vehicle according to the first embodiment. Fig. Figure 2 illustrates the window pane (device) for a vehicle installed in a vehicle, viewed from the vehicle interior. In the state where the window pane (device) for the vehicle is installed in Fig. 2 is installed in the vehicle, the Y axis is directed in the direction away from the ground surface. The supply electrode 33 includes a rectangular element 33a, a linear element 33b, and a curved element 33c. The supply electrode 33 extends in the Y-axis direction. The linear element 33b is an example of a first element, and the curved element 33c is an example of a second element.

[0048] The rectangular element 33a has an elongated shape and thus has a pair of long sides and a pair of short sides. The linear element 33b extends from a lower side of the rectangular element 33a. A width of the linear element 33b is narrower than the width of the lower side of the rectangular element 33a, which is one of the short sides of the rectangular element 33a. According to the length of the linear element 33b, the antenna gain of the VHF band (particularly the frequency band of Band III of DAB) is increased. The bent element 33c is conductively connected to the rectangular element 33a and has a width narrower than the width of the short side of the rectangular element 33a.The curved element 33c extends from a portion of the linear element 33b other than the ends, extending in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the linear element 33b extends, then bends and extends downward. The curved element 33c has an open end.

[0093] The region of the metallic body which is in Fig.4A, which faces the first side region 71 in the plan view, corresponds to the grounding electrode 37, and the region of the metallic body facing the second side region 72 corresponds to the grounding electrode 38. Thus, in the window glass device 1021 according to the embodiment, the grounding electrode may be the metallic body of the vehicle. As a material between the first side region 71 and the metallic body and a material between the second side region 72 and the metallic body, the material described in the second modification of the first embodiment (including air) may be used. The material is connected to the ground level via capacitive coupling.

[0094] The first modification of the first embodiment described above can be applied to the window glass device for a vehicle according to the second embodiment. Furthermore, the window glass device for a vehicle according to the second embodiment can be provided with the first side region 71 and the second side region 72 according to any of the second to fifth modifications of the first embodiment. Furthermore, the window glass device for a vehicle according to the second embodiment can be provided with the first linear conductor 87 and the second linear conductor (not illustrated) according to the sixth modification of the first embodiment.In each of the window glass devices for a vehicle to which the first to sixth modifications of the first embodiment are applied, a metallic body is required to be used for the grounding electrode, and a part conductively connected to the conductive film 55 and the metallic body are required to be capacitively coupled to each other with a coupling capacitance or a combined coupling capacitance of 3 pF or more for signals having a predetermined frequency.

[0095] Areas of the first side region 71 and the second side region 72 are determined to obtain a stable connection with the metallic body (ground level) and preferably fall within the range described in the modifications of the first embodiment. Furthermore, in the window glass device for a vehicle 1021 shown in Fig. 4A, the metallic body is used for the grounding electrode. The present invention is not limited thereto, and the grounding electrodes 37 and 38 in the window glass device for a vehicle 1020 shown in Fig. 4 can be used in addition to the metallic body.

[0096] Fig. Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating another example of the configuration of the supply electrode 35 according to the embodiment. The supply electrode 35 includes a rectangular element 35a, a linear element 35b, and a linear element 35d.

[0097] The supply electrode 35 is configured to extend in the Y-axis direction. The linear element 35b is an example of the first element. The linear element 35d is an example of the second element.

[0098] The linear element 35d extends from a lower side of the rectangular element 35a, with the linear element 35b connected to the lower side. The linear element 35d includes a portion extending in a direction parallel to a right side of the rectangular element 35a. The linear element 35d is shorter than the linear element 35b. Antenna gains of terrestrial digital television broadcast waves or the UHF band, such as the L band of DAB, are adjusted by changing the length of the linear element 35d.

[0099] In the supply electrode 35, the linear element 35d may not be present, and the linear elements 35b and 35d may not be present. The supply electrode 33 has the same configuration as the supply electrode 35, and an explanation of the supply electrode 33 is omitted.

[0100] Fig.6 to 11 are diagrams showing examples of lamination structures of window panes for a vehicle according to modifications of the embodiment. Although in each of the Fig. 6 to 11, the supplying electrode 32 arranged on the plate surface 22 is shown, other supplying electrodes and the grounding electrode may be arranged in the same manner as the supplying electrode 32.

[0101] In each of the lamination structures, which are Fig. 6 to 8, the planar conductor 50 is disposed between the glass plate 10 and the glass plate 20. The planar conductor 50 and the feeding electrode 32 are arranged to overlap each other across the glass plate 20 in a thickness direction of the glass plate 20 (Z-axis direction) in the planar view. The planar conductor 50 contacts the intermediate film 40 disposed between the glass plate 10 and the glass plate 20.

[0102] Fig. 6 shows the planar conductor 50 formed on the plate surface 21 of the glass plate 20. For example, the planar conductor 50 is formed on a conductive film deposited on the plate surface 21 of the glass plate 20.

[0103] Fig. Fig. 7 shows the planar conductor 50 formed on the plate surface 11 of the glass plate 10. For example, the planar conductor 50 is formed on a conductive film deposited on the plate surface 11 of the glass plate 10. The intermediate film 40 may be present in addition to the glass plate 20 between the planar conductor 50 and the supply electrode 32, as shown in Fig. 7 is illustrated.

[0104] Fig.8 shows the planar conductor 50 disposed between the intermediate film 41 and the intermediate film 42. The intermediate film 41 is an example of a first layer contained in the intermediate film 40, and the intermediate film 42 is an example of a second layer contained in the intermediate film 40. For example, the planar conductor 50 is interposed between the intermediate film 41, which contacts the plate surface 11 of the glass plate 10, and the intermediate film 42, which contacts the plate surface 21 of the glass plate 20. In addition to the glass plate 20, the intermediate film 42 may be present between the planar conductor 50 and the supply electrode 32, as shown in Fig. 8 is illustrated.

[0105] As this is Fig.As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the window glass for a vehicle according to the present disclosure is not limited to laminated glass. A size of a dielectric disposed between the planar conductor 50 and the supply electrode 32 may be different from the size of the glass plate 10. The dielectric may be a dielectric substrate or a dielectric film having a size sufficient to form the supply electrode 32.

[0106] The flat conductor 50, which in each of the Fig.9 to 11 is arranged between the glass plate 10 and the dielectric substrate 23. The planar conductor 50 and the feeding electrode 32 are arranged to overlap each other across the dielectric substrate 23 in the plan view in the thickness direction of the dielectric substrate 23 (Z-axis direction). The dielectric substrate 23 is, for example, a circuit board made of a resin (e.g., a glass epoxy substrate in which a copper foil is attached to FR4 (flame retardant type 4)), or may be replaced by a dielectric film.

[0107] Fig.9 shows the planar conductor 50 formed on the plate surface 11 of the glass plate 10. For example, the planar conductor 50 is formed on a conductive film deposited on the plate surface 11 of the glass plate 10. The supply electrode 32 is disposed on the plate surface 22 of the dielectric substrate 23. The dielectric substrate 23 is bonded to the planar conductor 50 via an adhesive layer 43 so that the supply electrode 32 faces the planar conductor 50.

[0108] Fig.10 shows the planar conductor 50 formed across the plate surface 11 of the glass plate 10. For example, the planar conductor 50 is bonded to the plate surface 11 via an adhesive layer 43a. The supply electrode 32 is disposed on the plate surface 22 of the dielectric substrate 23. The dielectric substrate 23 is bonded to the planar conductor 50 via an adhesive layer 43b, so that the supply electrode 32 faces the planar conductor 50.

[0109] Fig.11 shows the dielectric substrate 23 bonded to the plate surface 11 of the glass plate 10 via the adhesive layer 43. For example, the dielectric substrate 23 includes the plate surface 21 on which the planar conductor 50 is formed; and the plate surface 22 on which the supply electrode 32 is formed, such that at least a portion of a dielectric of the dielectric substrate 23 is interposed between the planar conductor 50 and the supply electrode 32. The planar conductor 50 may be embedded in the dielectric substrate 23.

[0110] In the window glass for a vehicle according to the embodiment, at least a part of the planar conductor 50 is directed to the supplying electrode 32 via a dielectric (a glass plate, a dielectric substrate, or the like). Thus, signals received at the planar conductor 50 are extracted from the supplying electrode 32 via a capacitive coupling between the planar conductor 50 and the supplying electrode 32. Signals extracted from the supplying electrode 32 are input to the input unit of the amplifier 60 (see Fig. 1 and the like) via a supply line (conductive member) that is conductively connected to the supply electrode 32. The conductive member specifically includes an AV line, a coaxial cable, and the like.

[0111] When a coaxial cable is used for the supply line, a core wire (inner conductor) is connected to the supply electrode 32, and an outer conductor of the coaxial cable is connected to the ground level, such as a vehicle body. Furthermore, a connector for connecting the amplifier 60 to the supply electrode 32 may be used. The supply electrode 32 is provided with the connector, for example. Alternatively, the connector may be provided with the amplifier 60. A coaxial cable may be applied to the supply electrode 33, 35, or 39. The connector may similarly be provided with the amplifier 61 or the amplifier 62.

[0112] Signals received by the planar conductor 50 are extracted by the supplying electrode 32 via the capacitive coupling between the planar conductor 50 and the supplying electrode 32. The input unit of the amplifier 60 is directly or indirectly connected to the supplying electrode 32. The amplifier 60 amplifies the signals extracted by the supplying electrode 32 and outputs the amplified signals to the signal processing circuit (not shown) installed in the vehicle.

[0113] An equivalent circuit for the process from the plane conductor 50 to the amplifier 60 of the MF band is expressed by a circuit which in Fig. 12 is shown.

[0114] For the first embodiment, which is shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is illustrated, C c in Fig.12 is the coupling capacitance between the flat conductor 50 and the supply electrode 32, C a an antenna capacitance of the planar conductor 50 and is C i an input capacitance of the amplifier 60, which is connected to the supply electrode 32. In addition, v xdB a voltage value which is x decibels lower than a voltage value V output by the supplying electrode 32 when the coupling capacitance C c is infinite, and is v a a receiving voltage value of the plane conductor 50. If the coupling capacitance C c If the following equation or relationship (1) is satisfied, a coupling loss in the capacitive coupling between the planar conductor 50 and the supply electrode is 32 x decibels or less. The value of x is 3.0 or less. Furthermore, the value of x is preferably 2.0 or less, more preferably 1.0 or less, and even more preferably 0.5 or less. [Math 1] Cc≥Ci×Ca×vxdBvaCa−(Ca+Ci)×vxdBva

[0115] For the first embodiment, which is shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is illustrated, C a a capacitance between the flat conductor 50 and the ground level of the vehicle body or the like. It is C i an input capacitance between the input unit of the amplifier 60 and the ground level of the vehicle body or the like. “If the coupling capacitance C c "Infinite" means that the planar conductor 50 and the supply electrode 32 are directly connected to each other via a conductor without capacitive coupling. That is, this represents a state where the coupling loss in the coupling capacitance between the planar conductor 50 and the supply electrode 32 is zero.

[0116] For the second embodiment, which is shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 is illustrated, C c in Fig.12 is a coupling capacitance between the upper conductor region 156 and the supply electrode 32, C a an antenna capacitance of the upper conductor region 156 and is C i an input capacitance of the amplifier 60, which is connected to the supply electrode 32. In addition, v xdB a voltage value which is x decibels lower than a voltage value V output by the supplying electrode 32 when the coupling capacitance C c is infinite, and is v a a receiving voltage value of the upper conductor region 156. If the coupling capacitance C c satisfying the following equation or relationship (1), a coupling loss in the capacitive coupling between the upper conductor region 156 and the supply electrode is 32 x decibels or less.

[0117] For the second embodiment, which is shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 is illustrated, C aa capacitance between the upper conductor region 156 and the ground level of the vehicle body or the like. It is C i an input capacitance between the input unit of the amplifier 60 and the ground level of the vehicle body or the like. “If the coupling capacitance C c "Infinite" means that the upper conductor region 156 and the supply electrode 32 are directly connected to each other via a conductor without capacitive coupling. That is, this represents a state where the coupling loss in the coupling capacitance between the upper conductor region 156 and the supply electrode 32 is zero.

[0118] In each embodiment, the state where the coupling capacitance C c is infinite, an ideal state in which there is no coupling loss in the capacitive coupling. Since the coupling loss in the coupling capacitance is smaller in accordance with the coupling capacitance Cc which is larger, it can be prevented that a divided voltage which is applied to the input capacitance C i (voltage input to the amplifier 60) is applied, decreases due to the coupling loss. Thus, if the coupling capacitance C c is set to satisfy equation (1), a voltage input to the amplifier 60 can be prevented from decreasing due to the coupling loss. Thus, in the case of extracting, via capacitive coupling, signals obtained by receiving electromagnetic waves in the frequency band of AM transmission, an electric voltage input to the amplifier 60 is ensured, and sufficient reception sensitivity is maintained in the amplifier 60.

[0119] Fig.13 is a diagram showing an example of a result of a simulation showing a relationship between an input capacitance C i of the amplifier 60 and the coupling capacitance C c where the coupling loss is 1.0 dB. Fig. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a result of a simulation showing a relationship between an input capacitance C i of the amplifier 60 and the coupling capacitance C c where the coupling loss is 0.5 dB. Curves which are Fig. 13 and Fig. 14 are expressed by the following relationship (2). The value of x is 3.0 or less. The value of x is preferably 2.0 or less, more preferably 1.0 or less, and further preferably 0.5 or less. [Maths 2] Cc=Ci×Ca×vxdBvaCa−(Ca+Ci)×vxdBva

[0120] A curve which in Fig. 13 shows the case where x 1.0 for vxdB in the relationship or equation (2) described above, and a curve which is in Fig. 14 shows the case where x 0.5 for v xdB Since typically an antenna capacitance of an antenna element for receiving AM transmission waves falls within a range of 20 pF to 80 pF, the antenna capacitance C a in Fig. 13 and Fig. 14 is set to the minimum value of the range (i.e., 20 pF). Furthermore, an amplifier's input capacitance typically falls within a range of 10 pF to 80 pF.

[0121] In this way, as in Fig. 13, for example in the case of using an amplifier 60 with an input capacitance C i of 10 pF by constructing or developing the antenna in such a way that the coupling capacitance C c54.6 pF or more, the coupling loss can be made 1.0 dB or less, and the receiving sensitivity of the amplifier 60 can be increased. In addition, as shown in Fig. 14, for example in the case of using an amplifier 60 with an input capacitance C i of 10 pF by developing the antenna in such a way that the coupling capacitance C c 112.5 pF or more, the coupling loss can be made 0.5 dB or less, and the receiving sensitivity of the amplifier 60 can be increased.

[0122] In a plan view in the thickness direction of the dielectric, the coupling capacitance C clarger in accordance with the fact that an area where the planar conductor 50 and the supply electrode 32 overlap each other (hereinafter also referred to as an "overlapping area A") is larger. Thus, the overlapping area A is preferably larger in reducing the coupling loss. However, when an upper limit of the overlapping area A is calculated by taking into account an upper limit of an area of ​​the glass plate or the dielectric substrate, an upper limit of the coupling capacitance C c about 3500 pF.

[0123] Fig. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a relationship between the area A F and the antenna gain of the feeding electrode 33 or the feeding electrode 35. If the area A Fvaries, the antenna gain of the frequency band of FM transmission waves changes more significantly than the antenna gain of the frequency band of Band III of DAB. Thus, the area A F preferably 420 mm 2 or more when increasing the antenna gain of the frequency band of FM transmission waves, as in Fig. 15. If the area A F less than 420 mm 2 the antenna gain is about 6 dB (decibels) lower than the maximum value of the antenna gain.

The supply electrode 33 (35) further includes an L-shaped curved element 33c (35c) with a width of 0.8 mm, which extends 10 mm from a branching point on the linear element 33b (35b) separated from the bottom side of the rectangular element 33a (35a).
