A method for producing a composite pane includes arranging a first, second and third thermoplastic intermediate layers in full surface contact one above the other, the first, second and third thermoplastic intermediate layers; joining the first, second and third thermoplastic intermediate layers to form a preliminary composite; removing the third thermoplastic intermediate layer from certain regions to form an aperture; forming a layered stack by inserting a functional element into the aperture in the third thermoplastic intermediate layer; arranging the layered stack between a first and second pane; and the joining the first and second panes by lamination via the layered stack. The functional element has a thickness of ≥50 μm. The third thermoplastic intermediate layer has a thickness that substantially corresponds to the thickness of the functional element. The outer dimensions of the aperture substantially correspond to the outer dimensions of the functional element.

Method for producing a composite pane with a functional element

A composite pane with functional film includes a peripheral edge of the composite pane, a peripheral edge of the functional film, a busbar, an outer pane with exterior-side and interior-side surfaces, an inner pane with exterior-side and interior-side surfaces, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer that joins the interior-side surface of the outer pane to the exterior-side surface of the inner pane. The functional film is encased in the thermoplastic intermediate layer, the peripheral edge of the functional film is set back in the direction of the surface center of the composite pane relative to the peripheral edge of the composite pane, and the busbar is arranged between the interior-side surface of the outer pane and the exterior-side surface of the inner pane and runs between the peripheral edge of the composite pane and the peripheral edge of the functional film in the edge region of the composite pane.

Composite pane with functional film and busbar

A method for producing laminated glass or a precursor thereof using a first glass pane with a thickness of at least 1.4 mm and a second glass pane with a thickness of not more than 1.0 mm, the first and second glass panes differing in curvature and/or locally in shape, includes aligning an arrangement including the first and second glass panes and a laminating film by positioning a side edge of the arrangement against a stop element; pre-fixing the aligned arrangement at at least two locations on the positioned side edge of the arrangement by one or more fixing elements and heating, after which the fixing element or elements are removed again; and forming a fixed arrangement by passing the pre-fixed arrangement through a roller arrangement with the pre-fixed side edge of the arrangement ahead. The arrangement is heated in sections during passage.
