WINDSHIELD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a heating wire that is disposed in a small area, from being heated excessively and to appropriately remove fogging and/or ice.SOLUTION: A windshield is a windshield for an automobile in which an information acquisition device for acquiring information from the outside of a vehicle by radiating and/or receiving light can be disposed. The windshield comprises: a glass pane facing the information acquisition device and including an information acquisition area through which light is passed; a shield layer which is provided on the glass pane and shields a field of view from the outside of the vehicle; and an information acquisition area heating part including a pair of bus bar parts and one heating wire connected to both the bus bar parts for heating the information acquisition area. The information acquisition area is disposed adjacently to the shield layer or so as to be surrounded by the shield layer. Both the bus bar parts are disposed so as to be included in the shield layer in a field-of-view direction, and the heating wire is folded at multiple positions that are spaced from each other, and passes above the information acquisition area.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】小さな領域に配置した加熱線が過度に発熱してしまうのを防止し、その加熱線で適切に曇り及び／又は氷を除去可能にする。【解決手段】本発明の一側面に係るウインドシールドは、光の照射及び／又は受光を行うことで車外からの情報を取得する情報取得装置が配置可能な自動車のウインドシールドであって、情報取得装置と対向し光が通過する情報取得領域を有するガラス板と、ガラス板に設けられ、車外からの視野を遮蔽する遮蔽層と、一対のバスバー部及び当該両バスバー部に接続される１つの加熱線を有し、情報取得領域を加熱する情報取得領域加熱部と、を備える。そして、情報取得領域は、遮蔽層に隣接する又は遮蔽層に周囲を囲まれるように配置され、両バスバー部は、視野方向において、遮蔽層に含まれるように配置され、加熱線は、間隔を空けて複数の箇所で折り返されて、情報取得領域上を通過する。【選択図】図３
