The invention relates to a composite pane having electrically controllable optical properties, comprising an electrically controllable functional element (10), which has, in a specified sequence, a first carrier film (12), a first
planar electrode (14), an
active layer (11) or layer sequence having electrically controllable optical properties, a second
planar electrode (15) and a second carrier film (13). In the first
contact region, the second carrier film (13), the second
planar electrode (15) and the
active layer (11) or the layer sequence are removed, and the first planar
electrode (14) is connected to the
bus bar (21) in an
electrically conductive manner. In a second
contact region, the first carrier membrane (12), the first planar
electrode (14) and the
active layer (11) or the layer sequence are removed, and the second planar
electrode (15) is electrically conductively connected to the at least one collector rail (21; 22.1, 22.2, 22.3) in the first direction. According to the invention, the first
contact region and the second contact region are arranged on opposite sides of the functional element (10), and the collector rail (21) of the first planar electrode (14) extends in a connection region from the first contact region to the opposite side of the functional element (10), in which connection region the second carrier film (13), the second planar electrode (15) and the active layer (11) or the layer sequence are removed. An
intermediate region is present between the second contact region and the connection region, in which the first carrier film (12), the first planar electrode (14) and the active layer (11) or the layer sequence are not removed, and in which a portion of the second planar electrode (15) adjoining the connection region is electrically insulated from the remainder of the second planar electrode (15) by an insulating wire (16).
