Description

本発明は、ガラス構造体とその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a glass structure and a manufacturing method thereof.

自動車等の車両においては、フロントガラスの内面に、自動運転および衝突事故の防止等のために、車両前方の情報を取得する、カメラ、LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging)、レーダー、および光センサ等の光学機器と、これを収容するブラケット等と呼ばれる筐体とを含む光学装置が設置される場合がある。
筐体は、フロントガラス側に光が通る窓部を有する。フロントガラスにおいて、光学装置の筐体の窓部に対向する部分は光が通る透光部とされ、その周囲に不要な光の入射を防止するために遮光加工が施された遮光加工部が設けられる。
In vehicles such as automobiles, an optical device including optical instruments such as a camera, LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), radar, and optical sensors, and a housing called a bracket or the like that houses these, may be installed on the inner surface of the windshield to acquire information about the area in front of the vehicle for the purposes of autonomous driving and preventing collision accidents.
The housing has a window portion on the windshield side through which light passes. The portion of the windshield facing the window portion of the housing of the optical device is a light-transmitting portion through which light passes, and a light-shielding processed portion is provided around the light-transmitting portion to prevent the incidence of unnecessary light.

フロントガラスに使用されるガラス板としては、複数のガラス板が貼り合わされた合わせガラスまたは強化ガラスが好ましい。フロントガラスの材料のガラス板の所定の領域に、黒色顔料とガラスフリットとを含むペーストを塗工し、焼成して、遮光層を形成することで、ガラス板に遮光加工を施すことができる。遮光加工されたガラス板は、熱成形され、曲面を有する形状に加工される。
フロントガラスの材料として合わせガラスを用いる場合、合わせガラスの材料である複数のガラス板のうちの1つ以上に遮光層を形成してから複数のガラス板を貼り合わせて合わせガラスを製造してもよいし、製造された合わせガラスの表面に遮光層を形成してもよい。
The glass plate used for the windshield is preferably a laminated glass or a tempered glass in which a plurality of glass plates are bonded together. The glass plate, which is the material for the windshield, is coated with a paste containing a black pigment and a glass frit in a predetermined area, and then baked to form a light-shielding layer, thereby providing the glass plate with a light-shielding treatment. The light-shielding glass plate is then thermally formed into a shape having a curved surface.
When laminated glass is used as the material for the windshield, a light-shielding layer may be formed on one or more of the multiple glass plates that make up the laminated glass, and then the multiple glass plates may be bonded together to produce the laminated glass, or a light-shielding layer may be formed on the surface of the produced laminated glass.

遮光加工ガラス板においては、遮光層のある遮光加工部は、遮光層のない透光部よりも相対的に厚くなる。また、熱成形工程では、黒色の遮光加工部が透光部より、熱吸収量が大きく、温度が高くなる。これら要因により、遮光加工ガラス板においては、遮光加工部と透光部との境界近傍に凹凸が生じ、これにより、遮光加工部と透光部との境界近傍に透視歪が生じ、光学装置によって得られる画像に歪みが生じる恐れがある。
特許文献1には、上記課題を解消することを目的とし、車両用窓ガラスの内表面上の遮光加工部の内側に、透光性板状部材(5)が接着剤(4)を介して貼り付けられた光学装置付き車両用窓ガラスが開示されている(請求項1および図3等)。
In the light-shielding glass plate, the light-shielding processed part with the light-shielding layer is relatively thicker than the light-transmitting part without the light-shielding layer. In addition, in the thermal forming process, the black light-shielding processed part absorbs more heat than the light-transmitting part, and becomes hotter. Due to these factors, the light-shielding processed glass plate has unevenness near the boundary between the light-shielding processed part and the light-transmitting part, which causes perspective distortion near the boundary between the light-shielding processed part and the light-transmitting part, and may cause distortion in the image obtained by the optical device.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, Patent Document 1 discloses a vehicle window glass with an optical device, in which a light-transmitting plate-like member (5) is attached via an adhesive (4) to the inside of a light-shielding processed portion on the inner surface of the vehicle window glass (claim 1, FIG. 3, etc.).

光学装置によるセンシング精度を高めるために、光学装置に含まれるカメラおよびレーダー等の光学機器の前方に位置するフロントガラスの透光部には、曇りおよび凍結の防止のために電熱膜を設けることが好ましい。
特許文献2には、フロントガラスが合わせガラスからなり、合わせガラスを構成する一対のガラス板の間に電熱膜(13)とこれに給電するための一対のバスバー(26、27)とを形成した車両用窓ガラスが開示されている(請求項1、[発明を実施するための形態]の項、図1および図2等)。
特許文献2に記載の車両用窓ガラスでは、平面視にて、略全面に電熱膜(13)が形成され、上端部と下端部にバスバー(26、27)が帯状に形成されている(図1)。
In order to improve the sensing accuracy of the optical device, it is preferable to provide an electrically heated film on the light-transmitting portion of the windshield located in front of the optical equipment such as the camera and radar included in the optical device to prevent fogging and freezing.
Patent Document 2 discloses a vehicle window glass in which the windshield is made of laminated glass, and an electrically heated film (13) and a pair of bus bars (26, 27) for supplying electricity thereto are formed between a pair of glass plates constituting the laminated glass (claim 1, section "Form for carrying out the invention", Figures 1 and 2, etc.).
In the vehicle window glass described in Patent Document 2, an electric heating film (13) is formed over substantially the entire surface when viewed in a plan view, and band-shaped bus bars (26, 27) are formed at the upper and lower ends (FIG. 1).

一般的に、電熱膜および一対のバスバーは、ガラス板上に銅ペーストおよび銀ペースト等の導電性ペーストを印刷し、加熱することで、形成される。特許文献2に記載の技術では、フロントガラスを構成する合わせガラスの材料のガラス板に対して、略全面に電熱膜を形成し、上端部と下端部にバスバーを帯状に形成するため、電熱膜と一対のバスバーの形成に時間とコストがかかる。
特許文献2に記載の技術ではまた、フロントガラスを構成する合わせガラスの内部に形成され、平面視にてフロントガラスの上下両端部に形成された一対のバスバーから配線を引き出す必要がある。この場合、バスバーからフロントガラスの側面を通って内面側または外面側に配線を引き出す必要があり、配線の引出しが遠回りとなり、見栄えもあまり良くない。
Generally, the electric heating film and the pair of bus bars are formed by printing a conductive paste such as copper paste or silver paste on a glass plate and heating it. In the technology described in Patent Document 2, an electric heating film is formed on almost the entire surface of a glass plate that is the material of the laminated glass that constitutes the windshield, and band-shaped bus bars are formed at the upper and lower ends, so that it takes time and cost to form the electric heating film and the pair of bus bars.
The technology described in Patent Document 2 also requires wiring to be drawn from a pair of bus bars formed inside the laminated glass constituting the windshield and formed at both the upper and lower ends of the windshield in a plan view. In this case, the wiring needs to be drawn from the bus bars to the inner or outer side through the side surface of the windshield, which requires a long detour and does not look very good.

特許文献3には、光学装置に含まれるカメラ等の光学機器の前方に位置するフロントガラスの部分(2)に、支持膜(3a)と電熱線(3c)とを含む加熱可能膜(3)を設けたガラス構造体が開示されている(請求項1、図2および図3等)。
支持膜(3a)の材料として、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ポリカーボネート、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリエチレンナフタレート、ポリビニルブチラール、およびポリエチル酢酸ビニルが挙げられている(請求項5)。
特許文献3には、電熱線(3c)上に取り付けられた少なくとも1つの電気的接触手段(4)について記載があるが、形状および配置等の詳細は不明である。
Patent Document 3 discloses a glass structure in which a heatable film (3) including a support film (3a) and a heating wire (3c) is provided on a windshield portion (2) located in front of an optical device such as a camera included in an optical apparatus (Claim 1, Figures 2 and 3, etc.).
Possible materials for the support film (3a) include polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyvinyl butyral, and polyethylvinyl acetate (claim 5).
Patent Document 3 describes at least one electrical contact means (4) attached to the heating wire (3c), but details such as its shape and arrangement are unclear.

本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、遮光加工部と透光部との境界近傍における透視歪を抑制でき、電熱膜およびバスバーを簡易に低コストに形成でき、バスバーからの配線引出の設計自由度が高いガラス構造体の提供を目的とする。 The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a glass structure that can suppress perspective distortion near the boundary between the light-shielding processed portion and the light-transmitting portion, can form the electric heating film and bus bar simply and at low cost, and allows high freedom in designing the wiring lead-out from the bus bar.

一般的に、遮光加工ガラス板においては、遮光層のある遮光加工部は、遮光層のない透光部よりも相対的に厚くなる。また、ガラス板の熱成形工程では、黒色の遮光加工部が透光部より、熱吸収量が大きく、温度が高くなる。これら要因により、遮光加工ガラス板においては、遮光加工部と透光部との境界近傍に凹凸が生じ、これにより、遮光加工部と透光部との境界近傍に透視歪が生じ、光学装置によって得られる画像に歪みが生じる恐れがある。 In general, in a light-shielding processed glass plate, the light-shielding processed portion with a light-shielding layer is relatively thicker than the light-transmitting portion without a light-shielding layer. Furthermore, in the thermal forming process of the glass plate, the black light-shielding processed portion absorbs more heat than the light-transmitting portion, and becomes hotter. Due to these factors, in the light-shielding processed glass plate, unevenness occurs near the boundary between the light-shielding processed portion and the light-transmitting portion, which may cause perspective distortion near the boundary between the light-shielding processed portion and the light-transmitting portion, resulting in distortion of the image obtained by the optical device.

本実施形態のガラス構造体1は、遮光加工ガラス板10の光学装置の取付面10S上に好ましくは接着膜20を介して、透光部TPおよび遮光加工部BPの一部を覆うように、遮光加工ガラス板10よりも薄い透光性板状部材31を取り付けているため、図2および図4に示すように、遮光加工ガラス板10の遮光加工部BPと透光部TPとの境界近傍の凹凸を小さくして、遮光加工ガラス板10の遮光加工部BPと透光部TPとの境界近傍の透視歪を抑制し、光学装置によって得られる画像に歪みが生じるのを抑制できる。
透視歪の有無またはレベルは例えば、ガラス構造体を通してゼブラパターンを視認したときに見られるパターンの歪みで評価できる。
In the glass structure 1 of this embodiment, a light-transmitting plate-like member 31 that is thinner than the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 is attached, preferably via an adhesive film 20, to the mounting surface 10S of the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 for the optical device, so as to cover the light-transmitting portion TP and part of the light-shielding processed portion BP.As a result, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the unevenness near the boundary between the light-shielding processed portion BP and the light-transmitting portion TP of the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 is reduced, thereby suppressing perspective distortion near the boundary between the light-shielding processed portion BP and the light-transmitting portion TP of the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 and suppressing distortion in the image obtained by the optical device.
The presence or absence or level of perspective distortion can be evaluated, for example, by the distortion of a zebra pattern that is seen when the pattern is viewed through the glass structure.

[背景技術]の項で挙げた特許文献2に記載の車両用窓ガラスでは、フロントガラスを構成する合わせガラスの内部に、略全面に電熱膜が形成され、上下両端部にバスバーが帯状に形成されている。
本実施形態では、電熱膜32および一対のバスバー41、42は、面積の大きい遮光加工ガラス板10上ではなく、面積の小さい透光性板状部材31上に形成すればよいため、電熱膜32および一対のバスバー41、42の形成領域が狭く、遮光加工ガラス板10の製造とは別工程で、電熱膜32および一対のバスバー41、42を簡易に低コストに形成できる。
In the vehicle window glass described in Patent Document 2 listed in the [Background Art] section, an electric heating film is formed over almost the entire inside surface of the laminated glass constituting the windshield, and band-shaped bus bars are formed at both the upper and lower ends.
In this embodiment, the electric heating film 32 and the pair of bus bars 41, 42 are formed on the small-area translucent plate-shaped member 31, rather than on the large-area light-shielding glass plate 10, so the formation area of the electric heating film 32 and the pair of bus bars 41, 42 is narrow, and the electric heating film 32 and the pair of bus bars 41, 42 can be formed easily and at low cost in a process separate from the manufacture of the light-shielding glass plate 10.

特許文献2に記載の車両用窓ガラスでは、フロントガラスを構成する合わせガラスの内部に形成され、平面視にてフロントガラスの上下両端部に形成された一対のバスバーから配線を引き出す必要がある。この場合、バスバーからフロントガラスの側面を通って内面側または外面側に配線を引き出す必要があり、配線の引出しが遠回りとなり、見栄えもあまり良くない。
本実施形態では、透光性板状部材31上に、電熱膜32と一対のバスバー41、42とが形成されるため、バスバー41、42からの配線引出の設計自由度が高く、バスバー41、42からの配線引出を美観良く設計できる。
In the vehicle window glass described in Patent Document 2, wiring needs to be drawn from a pair of bus bars formed inside the laminated glass constituting the windshield and formed at both upper and lower ends of the windshield in a plan view. In this case, the wiring needs to be drawn from the bus bars to the inner or outer side through the side surface of the windshield, which requires a long detour and does not look very good.
In this embodiment, the electric heating film 32 and a pair of bus bars 41, 42 are formed on the light-transmitting plate-like member 31, so that there is a high degree of freedom in designing the wiring extension from the bus bars 41, 42, and the wiring extension from the bus bars 41, 42 can be designed to have an aesthetic appearance.

合わせガラスの内部に電熱膜と一対のバスバーを封入する特許文献2に記載の車両用窓ガラスと異なり、本実施形態のガラス構造体1では、透光性板状部材31上に形成された電熱膜32により結露面を直接加熱できるため、防曇性能も高く、好ましい。 Unlike the vehicle window glass described in Patent Document 2, in which an electric heating film and a pair of bus bars are enclosed inside the laminated glass, the glass structure 1 of this embodiment can directly heat the condensation surface with the electric heating film 32 formed on the translucent plate-like member 31, and therefore has high anti-fogging performance and is preferable.

バスバー41、42と透光部TPとの平面離間距離は、特に制限されない。バスバー近傍の透視歪防止の観点から、バスバー41、42と透光部TPとの最短平面離間距離は、好ましくは3mm以上である。視野確保の観点から、バスバー41、42と透光部TPとの最短平面離間距離の上限は、好ましくは20mmである。 The planar separation distance between the busbars 41, 42 and the translucent portion TP is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of preventing perspective distortion near the busbars, the shortest planar separation distance between the busbars 41, 42 and the translucent portion TP is preferably 3 mm or more. From the viewpoint of ensuring visibility, the upper limit of the shortest planar separation distance between the busbars 41, 42 and the translucent portion TP is preferably 20 mm.

以上説明したように、本実施形態によれば、遮光加工部と透光部との境界近傍における透視歪を抑制でき、電熱膜およびバスバーを簡易に低コストに形成でき、バスバーからの配線引出の設計自由度が高いガラス構造体1を提供できる。 As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to suppress the perspective distortion near the boundary between the light-shielding processed portion and the light-transmitting portion, it is possible to form the electric heating film and the bus bar simply and at low cost, and it is possible to provide a glass structure 1 with a high degree of freedom in designing the wiring extraction from the bus bar.

These are all schematic views, and in order to make them easier to see, the scale of each component in each drawing is appropriately different from the actual one. The same reference symbols are given to the same components as in the first embodiment, and the description will be omitted as appropriate.

本実施形態のガラス構造体2は、第1実施形態のガラス構造体1と同様、光学装置が取り付けられる光学装置取付領域OPと、光学装置取付領域OP内に位置し、外部から光学装置への入射光および/または光学装置からの出射光が通る透光部TPと、透光部TPの少なくとも一部を囲む遮光加工部BPとを有する遮光加工ガラス板10を有する。
本実施形態のガラス構造体2は、第1実施形態のガラス構造体1と同様、遮光加工ガラス板10の光学装置の取付面10S上に透光部TPおよび遮光加工部BPの一部を覆って取り付けられた、遮光加工ガラス板10よりも薄い透光性板状部材31を有する。
本実施形態のガラス構造体2においても、第1実施形態のガラス構造体1と同様、透光性板状部材31上に、電熱膜32と、電熱膜32に給電するための一対のバスバー41、42とが形成されている。
The glass structure 2 of this embodiment, like the glass structure 1 of the first embodiment, has a light-shielding processed glass plate 10 having an optical device mounting region OP in which an optical device is mounted, a light-transmitting portion TP located within the optical device mounting region OP and through which incident light from the outside to the optical device and/or emitted light from the optical device passes, and a light-shielding processed portion BP surrounding at least a portion of the light-transmitting portion TP.
The glass structure 2 of this embodiment, like the glass structure 1 of the first embodiment, has a light-transmitting plate-like member 31 that is thinner than the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 and is attached to the mounting surface 10S of the optical device of the light-shielding processed glass plate 10, covering the light-transmitting portion TP and part of the light-shielding processed portion BP.
In the glass structure 2 of the present embodiment, similarly to the glass structure 1 of the first embodiment, an electric heating film 32 and a pair of bus bars 41, 42 for supplying electricity to the electric heating film 32 are formed on a light-transmitting plate-like member 31.

第1実施形態の第1態様と同様、図8および図9に示す第1態様において、遮光加工ガラス板10は、強化ガラス11の表面の一部に遮光層BL(図9では省略)が形成された遮光加工強化ガラス10Aである。
第1実施形態の第2態様と同様、図10および図11に示す第2態様において、遮光加工ガラス板10は、複数のガラス板12を中間膜13を介して貼り合わせた合わせガラスの内部および/または表面の一部に遮光層BL(図11では省略)が形成された遮光加工合わせガラス10Bである。
As in the first aspect of the first embodiment, in the first aspect shown in Figures 8 and 9, the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 is a light-shielding processed tempered glass 10A in which a light-shielding layer BL (omitted in Figure 9) is formed on a portion of the surface of the tempered glass 11.
As in the second aspect of the first embodiment, in the second aspect shown in Figures 10 and 11, the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 is a light-shielding processed laminated glass 10B in which a light-shielding layer BL (omitted in Figure 11) is formed inside and/or on part of the surface of a laminated glass formed by bonding multiple glass plates 12 together with an intermediate film 13 interposed therebetween.

第1実施形態と同様、バスバー41、42は、図7および図12Aの設計変更例に示すように、光学装置取付領域OPの外側に配置してもよいし、図12Bの設計変更例に示すように、光学装置取付領域OPの内側に配置してもよい。バスバー41、42は、光学装置取付領域OPの内側に配置することが好ましい。 As in the first embodiment, the bus bars 41 and 42 may be disposed outside the optical device mounting area OP as shown in the design modification examples of Figures 7 and 12A, or may be disposed inside the optical device mounting area OP as shown in the design modification example of Figure 12B. It is preferable to dispose the bus bars 41 and 42 inside the optical device mounting area OP.

図7~図11、図12Aおよび図12Bの設計変更例に示すように、本実施形態のガラス構造体2では、第1実施形態のガラス構造体1とは異なり、透光性板状部材31上に、一対のバスバー41、42の表面の少なくとも一部を覆う絶縁層51、52が形成されている。
絶縁層51、52は遮光層であることが好ましい。絶縁層51、52は、公知方法にて形成できる。遮光層である絶縁層51、52は例えば、電熱膜32およびバスバー41、42を形成した透光性板状部材31上の所定の領域に、黒色顔料とガラスフリットとを含むペーストを塗工し、焼成することで、形成できる。
図中、符号4は、透光性板状部材31上に電熱膜32、一対のバスバー41、42および絶縁層51、52が形成されたバスバー付き透光性板状部材である。
As shown in the design modification examples in Figures 7 to 11, 12A and 12B, in the glass structure 2 of this embodiment, unlike the glass structure 1 of the first embodiment, insulating layers 51, 52 covering at least a portion of the surfaces of a pair of bus bars 41, 42 are formed on a light-transmitting plate-like member 31.
The insulating layers 51 and 52 are preferably light-shielding layers. The insulating layers 51 and 52 can be formed by a known method. For example, the insulating layers 51 and 52, which are light-shielding layers, can be formed by applying a paste containing a black pigment and glass frit to a predetermined region on the light-transmitting plate-like member 31 on which the electric heating film 32 and the bus bars 41 and 42 are formed, and then baking the paste.
In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes a translucent plate-like member with bus bars, which is constituted by a translucent plate-like member 31 on which an electric heating film 32 , a pair of bus bars 41 , 42 and insulating layers 51 , 52 are formed.

バスバー付き透光性板状部材4においては、電熱膜32/透光性板状部材31の積層体のバスバーの非形成領域上に、絶縁層を設けてもよい(図示略)。さらに、この絶縁層上に光学装置取付用の接着膜を形成してもよい。接着膜は例えば、両面テープの貼付または接着剤の塗布により、形成することができる。 In the translucent plate member 4 with busbars, an insulating layer may be provided (not shown) on the busbar-free area of the laminate of the electric heating film 32/translucent plate member 31. Furthermore, an adhesive film for mounting an optical device may be formed on this insulating layer. The adhesive film may be formed, for example, by applying double-sided tape or applying adhesive.

本実施形態のガラス構造体2は、基本構成は第1実施形態と同様であり、第1実施形態と同様の作用効果を奏することができる。本実施形態によっても、遮光加工部と透光部との境界近傍における透視歪を抑制でき、電熱膜およびバスバーを簡易に低コストに形成でき、バスバーからの配線引出の設計自由度が高いガラス構造体2を提供できる。
本実施形態では、一対のバスバー41、42の表面の少なくとも一部を覆うように絶縁層51、52を設けているので、利用者が一対のバスバー41、42の表面に触れて感電することを抑制でき、好ましい。
The glass structure 2 of this embodiment has the same basic configuration as that of the first embodiment, and can achieve the same effects as those of the first embodiment. This embodiment also makes it possible to provide a glass structure 2 that can suppress perspective distortion near the boundary between the light-shielding processed portion and the light-transmitting portion, can form the electric heating film and the bus bar simply and at low cost, and has a high degree of freedom in designing the wiring lead-out from the bus bar.
In this embodiment, insulating layers 51, 52 are provided so as to cover at least a portion of the surfaces of the pair of bus bars 41, 42, which is preferable as it prevents a user from touching the surfaces of the pair of bus bars 41, 42 and receiving an electric shock.

[Method for manufacturing the glass structure of the first embodiment]
The method for manufacturing a glass structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of:
A step (S11) of preparing a light-shielding processed glass plate 10;
A step (S12) of preparing a light-transmitting plate-like member 3 or 4 with bus bars, in which an electric heating film 32 and a pair of bus bars 41, 42 are formed on a light-transmitting plate-like member 31;
The method includes a step (S13) of overlapping the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 and the light-transmitting plate-like member 3 or 4 with bus bars via an adhesive resin film, and thermocompression bonding the two.

(工程(S11))
図2、図3、図8および図9に示したような強化ガラス11の表面の一部に遮光層BL(図3および図9では省略)が形成された遮光加工強化ガラス10A、または、図4、図5、図10および図11に示したような複数のガラス板12を中間膜13を介して貼り合わせた合わせガラスの内部および/または表面の一部に遮光層BL(図5および図11では省略)が形成された遮光加工合わせガラス10Bを用意する。遮光層BLの形成方法は上記したので、ここでは省略する。
(Step (S11))
Prepare a light-shielding tempered glass 10A having a light-shielding layer BL (omitted in Figs. 3 and 9) formed on part of the surface of tempered glass 11 as shown in Figures 2, 3, 8 and 9, or a light-shielding laminated glass 10B having a light-shielding layer BL (omitted in Figs. 5 and 11) formed on part of the interior and/or surface of laminated glass made by bonding a plurality of glass plates 12 with intermediate films 13 interposed therebetween as shown in Figures 4, 5, 10 and 11. The method for forming the light-shielding layer BL has been described above, so a description thereof will be omitted here.

(工程(S12))
別途、透光性板状部材31上に電熱膜32を形成し、一対のバスバー41、42を形成し、さらに必要に応じて絶縁層51、52を形成して、バスバー付き透光性板状部材3または4を用意する。電熱膜32および一対のバスバー41、42の形成方法は上記したので、ここでは省略する。
工程(S11)と工程(S12)の順序は特に制限されず、いずれの工程が先でもよく、これらの工程を同時に実施してもよい。
(Step (S12))
Separately, an electric heating film 32 is formed on a light-transmitting plate-like member 31, a pair of bus bars 41, 42 are formed, and insulating layers 51, 52 are further formed as necessary to prepare a light-transmitting plate-like member with bus bars 3 or 4. The method for forming the electric heating film 32 and the pair of bus bars 41, 42 has been described above, and therefore will not be described here.
The order of steps (S11) and (S12) is not particularly limited, and either step may be carried out first, or these steps may be carried out simultaneously.

(工程(S13))
遮光加工ガラス板10とバスバー付き透光性板状部材3または4とを、接着用の樹脂フィルムを介して重ねて仮積層体を得、熱圧着する。熱圧着は公知方法にて実施することができ、自動加圧加熱処理装置およびオートクレーブ等を用いて実施できる。温度、圧力、および時間の熱圧着条件は特に制限されず、接着用の樹脂フィルムの種類と温度に応じて設計される。熱圧着条件は、接着用の材料である樹脂フィルムが軟化し、充分に加圧され、遮光加工ガラス板10とバスバー付き透光性板状部材3または4とが接着膜20を介して充分に接着される条件であればよい。例えば、温度は80~140℃程度、圧力は0.8~1.5MPa程度、時間は60~120分程度が好ましい。
接着用の樹脂フィルムが軟化した状態で圧着されることで、遮光加工ガラス板10の表面にある遮光層BLの間が接着膜20で埋まり、遮光加工ガラス板10の遮光加工部BPと透光部TPとの境界近傍の表面凹凸が低減される。この結果、遮光加工ガラス板10の遮光加工部BPと透光部TPとの境界近傍の透視歪が抑制され、光学装置によって得られる画像に歪みが生じるのが抑制される。
(Step (S13))
The light-shielding processed glass plate 10 and the light-transmitting plate-like member 3 or 4 with busbars are stacked via a resin film for adhesion to obtain a provisional laminate, which is then thermocompression-bonded. Thermocompression bonding can be performed by a known method, and can be performed using an automatic pressure heating treatment device, an autoclave, or the like. The thermocompression bonding conditions of temperature, pressure, and time are not particularly limited, and are designed according to the type and temperature of the resin film for adhesion. The thermocompression bonding conditions may be such that the resin film, which is the adhesive material, is softened and sufficiently pressurized, and the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 and the light-transmitting plate-like member 3 or 4 with busbars are sufficiently bonded via the adhesive film 20. For example, the temperature is preferably about 80 to 140° C., the pressure is about 0.8 to 1.5 MPa, and the time is about 60 to 120 minutes.
By pressing the adhesive resin film in a softened state, the gaps between the light-shielding layers BL on the surface of the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 are filled with the adhesive film 20, reducing surface irregularities near the boundary between the light-shielding processed parts BP and the light-transmitting parts TP of the light-shielding processed glass plate 10. As a result, perspective distortion near the boundary between the light-shielding processed parts BP and the light-transmitting parts TP of the light-shielding processed glass plate 10 is suppressed, and distortion in an image obtained by an optical device is suppressed.
